Witch trials
Trial Court.
Liu Ji, who was burning all over, stood up again, he wheeled his huge flaming bone hammer and smashed it in Tang Er Ta's direction, Tang Er Ta retreated to avoid it, but it was still grazed by the corner of his jacket. Thinking of what Wang Shun reminded them, that Liu Ji's flames would keep burning down his life value, Tang Er Ta took off his jacket at once, and he was able to avoid the flames.
The sparks that had only touched the edges of the jacket engulfed it in an instant, leaving nothing but ashes.
Mu Sicheng, who swept Tang Er's eyes to see the battle over there, clenched his teeth, lifted his feet, disappeared in an instant, and in the next second, he almost instantly moved behind Phoebe, raising his monkey paw with bloodshot eyes, and slashed down hard on the back of Phoebe's neck.
Phoebe raised her hand without looking back, the skeleton armor wrapped her entire body impervious to a single seam in almost just a blink of an eye, and the young girl's clear and shallow voice came out from the armor, "I've told you before, haven't I, that even the fastest of speeds is useless in front of my skeleton armor."
"It is as if the lips of a dead man yes are the best keepers of secrets." Phoebe's green eyes looked at Mu Sicheng through the cracks in the bones, "The bones of a dead person are also the tightest layer of protection."
Mu Sicheng's sharp, outstretched claws clawed at the skull, making an ear-splitting scuffing sound, and he clenched his teeth in frustration, his eyes widening in anger as he continued to press down, the bones of the monkey's claws squeaking and crunching.
Grass! This thing is too hard! Can't break it with the fastest attack speed!
This guy is too invulnerable to swords and guns, and this skill is too buggy! Is there such an outrageous and unbreakable skill!
Wait, it seems like this guy hasn't moved much since just now ......
Mu Sicheng's eyes suddenly twitched as he remembered the video clip that Wang Shun had shown them about Phoebe, in which Phoebe, after attracting her opponents with the Gospel, had allowed them to come to her, rather than attacking them on her own initiative.
So is it possible ......
"Hey." Mu Sicheng slowly retracted his Monkey Claw as he gave a somewhat evil smile to Phoebe, who was hidden in the Skeleton Armor, "After you used your skill, your movement range has been shrinking, hasn't it-"
"This Hell Prayer Song skill of yours uses a range that decreases over time?"
Phoebe's pupils contracted very lightly.
Almost immediately, Liu Ji returned to his defense with a wild hammer blow that sent Mu Sicheng flying off his burning jacket, stepping outside onto a church pillar with one foot and flipping in the air to land beside Tang Er Fight.
Tang Er typed quickly, "I just heard that."
"It's convenient for us to escape if the opponent's movement range will shrink over time."
"But if they all run, it will make these guys go back to defense and cause trouble for Bai Liu and the others, right?" Mu Sicheng huffed and puffed as he shook his hand that had been burned out of his white eye, grimacing, "What a terrifying attack, we have to leave someone behind to hold these two back, or else if they go back to defense, Bai Liu's side will be in trouble."
"I'll stay." Tang Er hit took the burden quickly, "You can't hold them both back."
"But you are their target, right?" Mu Sicheng's expression was rarely calm as he swept Tang Er to fight, "Aren't you doing what they want by staying here?"
Tang Er hit a stunned: "Mu Sicheng, you want to ......."
Mu Sicheng Staying here can only end one way - and that is to be killed by these two men.
Phoebe paddles back and raises her hand, countless souls on the ground rise up in anger and surge in the direction Tang Er hits, her face coldly interrupting the conversation between these two, "I don't remember leaving you guys any time to discuss your strategy."
"To hell with all of them."
The moment her words fell, Liu Ji jumped up high, and using the cover of the skeletons surrounding Tang Er Ta, he raised his burning bone hammer and slammed it down hard on Tang Er Ta.
At the moment when he was about to smash down, Mu Sicheng almost flashed to Tang Er to fight, his monkey paws crossed above his head, and one of his feet retreated, hardening himself against Liu Ji's hammer.
His arm was instantly enveloped in the flames of the bone hammer's surface, and in the excruciating pain of the heat burning his arm, Mu Sicheng reluctantly opened one eye and took two deep breaths to adjust his breathing before hoarsely speaking to Tang Er, who was fighting behind himself, "You go back to Bai Liu and the others, and I'll hold these two off."
[System Alert: Player Mu Sicheng is in a stacked state (Burning Arms), and his life value continues to drop, currently 78......76......]
"What a great teammate bond." Phoebe waved her hand to the left with a cold expression, "If your life points didn't drop so fast, you'd still look pretty cool with your big talk about letting the hunters escape."
The ground was shrouded in layers of black smoke, and still some twisted corpses crawled out of the ground in addition to the skeletons.
Mu Sicheng's right monkey paw had been burned to the bone, and he gave Phoebe a raspy, gangly smile with a raised eyebrow, "But it's not like you guys want my life value to drop any faster, is it?"
"It's the hunter's lifesteal that you want to trade away, so every bit of lifesteal I drop on his behalf is a deterrent to your plan, so you can count me as having earned it, right?"
"Stupid calculated strategy." Phoebe's scowl grew colder as she shifted her hands back, "Is this what your astute tactician taught you to do against the enemy?"
Skeletons and zombies on the ground rush towards Tang Er with Phoebe's movements as if they were going berserk, Tang Er dodges with one foot, looks back at Mu Sicheng, and quickly runs towards the entrance of the Church.
"Liu Ji, stop him." Phoebe ordered coldly and swiftly.
Liu Ji wheeled the giant hammer around a few times, and ruthlessly smashed it in front of Tang Er Ta's only exit from the Holy See, flames spattered everywhere along with the downward smashing action, Liu Ji made a backward tilting movement, roared with fury and force, and was about to swing the hammer right in front of Tang Er Ta's face, when Mu Sicheng, who was entangled in the skeleton, saw the line of sight moving back, he stepped on the ground with one foot, and his backside was tensed up, as if it were a stance before sprinting, and stomped backward like storing energy. He stepped on the ground, tensed his back, and stomped backward like he was storing up strength before a sprint, and in a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Tang Er Ta, blocking Liu Ji's hammer with all his strength.
The moment Tang Er hit was about to step out of the front of the Church, the ground began to tremble violently, and the sound of the giant's swift running came.
Phoebe's expression froze for a moment when she heard the running sound, and she quickly realized what had happened on the side of the Palace - Qi Yifang that guy had failed in his mission, so he made a snap decision to give them the Titan, hoping that they would return to reinforcement after quickly completing their mission.
With no time to think about it, Phoebe gave another order, "Titan, stop the hunter."
The giant's mountainous fist fell from the sky like a meteorite, hammering a hole in the ground the size of half a court of justice, which was hollowed out below, directly cutting off the road outside the Holy See leading to the Palace of the Emperor, Tang Er Ta quickly retreated, deciding to go around the side of the breakthrough, Liu Ji and Titan coincidentally turned to block Tang Er Ta.
Liu Ji holds his burning bone hammer aloft as the giant pulls his fist out of the ground, aiming for Tang Er to strike the direction of the fall again.
The bone hammer and fist fell almost simultaneously, and layers of ash burst out as if a small explosion had just occurred.
When the ashes cleared, there was a ragged Mu Sicheng kneeling on one knee on the ground, one of his hands clenched in a fist, his right hand all on fire from the flames of the bone hammer, choking and coughing as he raised his head, grimy, with a bloody mark on his knee from being hammered on the ground, but he actually wore a smile on his dirty face.
An open, even somewhat lazy laugh.
"Didn't I tell you guys?" Mu Sicheng hooked up the corner of his mouth, "Your opponent now is me."
"The hunters who are going after us, step over my dead body first."
[System alert: Player Mu Sicheng has taken a heavy hit, his life value has dropped by 33, and his current life value is 41.]
Phoebe All expression was gone from her face as she coldly ordered, "Kill him first, then go after the hunters."
