Chapter 1722: Betrayal

The energy from the three Oracle God's Tears had been stored nicely in his body!
But as soon as Lucky Time was over, they all went berserk, frantically destroying Jiangnan's body!
He'd turned into a firecracker?
Eating that Lucky Little Cherry didn't bring much luck, did it?
Sure, he found a Dao Nail in time to save the day, killed two Dao Heaven with his Starlight rank, and gave the Parasite Entity a whole bunch of illnesses!
Was that supposed to be lucky?
He tried to pull out the Parasite Entity several times and didn't even get the main body out, then got his power drained by Ruiya—not really satisfying, huh?
Lucky didn't seem all that lucky, but unlucky? That was the real deal!
[Punk's Resentment +1003!]
[Punk's Resent...]

Baotu was drooling and completely enraged!
੧(ଵ﹃ଵꐦ)੭ "You think this level of pain can cripple me? Don't underestimate me!"
"I'll fight you to the death!"
"Grand Fusion • Super Muscle Giant God Soldier!"

Countless muscle monsters on the battlefield charged toward the paralyzed Suoluomen!
Muscles squirmed as they frantically fused with Suoluomen as the main body!
I might have a whole bunch of diseases in my main body, but that doesn't stop me from controlling the Parasite Legion!

Everyone looked up in shock.
At that moment, all the muscle monsters on the battlefield merged into one, becoming a Super Muscle Giant God Soldier tens of thousands of meters tall!
And Baotu's main body was deep inside the Giant God Soldier's neck, with thick red muscle tendrils plugged into his body!
Like he was controlling a Giant God Soldier mecha suit!
He raised a giant fist shaped like a sledgehammer, roared, parted the clouds, and smashed it down toward the Curse Array at a ferocious speed!
And he wasn't slow at all!

"Super Muscle Pump • Hammerhead!"

Jiangnan's eyes were full of shock: (꒪ͦ益꒪ͦ#҉) "What the hell is this thing? Can this Parasite Entity be any more annoying?"

Without minding his own body bleeding everywhere, Jiangnan raised his hand and a hundred-meter Space Wormhole appeared!
The hammerhead smashed straight into the wormhole, and the other end hit the Giant God Soldier's own head, knocking it crooked!
The next instant, the wormhole snapped shut!
Half the Giant God Soldier's arm was severed!

But the other arm came smashing in again. Jiangnan opened another wormhole and cut again. He could open two pairs after all!
Meanwhile, Jiangnan kept coughing up blood, feeling like he'd explode any second!
And Ruiya naturally wouldn't miss this chance. She raised her hand and flung Rift-Saw Blades at Jiangnan.
"Go die!"

Jiangnan's eyes widened: "Let's see who dies first!"
"Ora ora ora ora!"

With the boost from Oracle God's Tears, the Rift-Saw Blades Jiangnan threw reached nearly three thousand meters in diameter!
He flung them one after another, and they were also covered in white-hot flames—clearly Zhong Yingxue's work!
The two sets of saw blades collided and both exploded!
Countless spatial blades slashed everywhere, howling as they flew!

"Pfft pfft pfft~"
A few spatial blades came at tricky angles and cut several gashes into Jiangnan's own body!
He almost cut himself!
Startled, Jiangnan quickly ducked and dodged!

Meanwhile, Qin Shou, who had been watching the fun, was doing fine.
Then a spatial blade whizzed right over his head!
Scalp peeled right off, blood gushing from the top of his skull. Qin Shou's face turned white!
He watched helplessly as several spatial blades flew toward his crotch!
Terrified, he ducked behind Qi Yu and Ye Xinghe!
He already had blisters from the burns! He couldn't afford to get cut there, or it'd be useless!
This guy was having terrible luck too!
୧(´థ益థ)୨ "Nan Shen! Ease up with the cuts! Friendlies!"

Jiangnan was frantically dodging spatial blades too:
୧(#҉꒦ິ皿꒦ີ)୨ "Do I look like I have any control over this? I'm even cutting myself!"

Ye Xinghe and Qi Yu's faces turned white too:
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) "Go away! Don't hide behind us! We can't take that abuse!"

The battlefield was chaos. Jiangnan had to keep up the output, protecting the Curse Array while maintaining energy consumption.

Just then, Faka Wei's eyes went wide in shock.
"(ºД.º*)
Her rank had reached Dao Heaven Five Stars, clearly having fully absorbed the rank memories from Bracelet Wei!
She turned pale and said urgently:
(งᵒ̌﹏.ᵒ̌)ง "Nan Shen! Nan Shen! Something's wrong!"

Jiangnan: !!!
"What now?"

Faka Wei panicked: "I know the true meaning of the World Purification Plan! The Saint Star wants to unseal the Sealing Spirit Curse Array to..."
Before she could finish, there was a "BOOM"!

Crimson energy exploded from the center of the Curse Array, spreading in all directions!
Everyone staggered back!
All eyes focused on the array center, faces full of disbelief!

Wu Liang had somehow gotten to the Dao Nail!
Not only did he pull the Dao Nail out and crush it, he also smashed the core of the Hegu Ling Xu!
This Sealing Spirit Curse Array was completely ruined!
Everyone had been busy fighting just now—no one noticed what Wu Liang was doing!
Who knew he'd silently pull the Dao Nail?
What the hell? What was going on?

Jiangnan panicked: ∑(°口°#) "Big Guy! Have you lost it? What are you doing? You..."

Wu Liang's eyes were bloodshot, the struggle in them completely suppressed!
A manic grin spread across his face!
"Ahahaha! I've been dying to see that expression on your face! I've been waiting for it for so long, and now I've finally seen it!"
"Surprised? Shocked? The Dao Nail you worked so hard to protect, pulled out by your most trusted teammate?"

Tieniu's eyes widened: "Dear! Have you lost your mind? What are you saying?"

Jiangnan's face darkened to the extreme: "This isn't Wu Liang! You're Baotu, right?"

Wu Liang had been with him from the very beginning. Even if the whole world betrayed him, Wu Liang wouldn't!
After so many years as brothers, Jiangnan wouldn't lack that much trust!
Had he been parasitized by a Parasite Entity?
Was it back when they were facing off against the big organizations at the camp? Wu Liang had been hit by Suoluomen once, his chest crushed!
Jiangnan had suspected Wu Liang might be parasitized, so he gave him over two hundred small jars, turning him into a Michelin tire, but still didn't pull the seed out!
The matter was dropped!
Jiangnan thought Wu Liang's body was clean, no seed inside!
Who would've thought he still got it?
Bad luck just kept piling on!

Wu Liang sneered: "Wondering why you pulled so many small jars but didn't get the Parasite Seed out?"
"I wasn't sure before, always afraid your small jars would pull me out! But now I'm certain!"
"Back with Shen, you didn't pull me out. During the fight just now, you had two chances, and you still didn't pull me out!"
"Because my super muscle cells have fully merged into his own cells! I am him, and he is me!"
"In that situation, the small jars can't pull me out. Hehehe~"

Jiangnan's eyes blazed, his scalp tingling. No wonder he hadn't succeeded even with the Lucky Little Cherry's boost twice!
"But what about the Parasite Seed on Hope? I..."

Wu Liang laughed coldly: "The Parasite Seed on Hope, I only buried it; it hadn't started fusing yet! I was planning to keep him hidden, use him as a pawn later!"
"Who knew you'd pull it out!"
"Now I've fully merged with Wu Liang, eroded his brain stem, taken complete control of his body! Suppressed his original consciousness!"
"Gotta say, your brother's will is pretty strong! But sometimes, strong will doesn't help! Ahahaha!"
"He's mine now, and he's dead. Even the small jars can't save him! I said so!"

Jiangnan was furious, his eyes bloodshot: "If anything happens to Wu Liang, I will, for the rest of my life, cut you down with my blade and grind your bones to dust!"
"Wipe out your entire Parasite clan! No mercy!"

As he spoke, he hurled Rift-Saw Blades at the Giant God Soldier!

The Giant God Soldier laughed maniacally: "Haha! Barking dogs don't bite! Useless! If you give me your body, I'll let Wu Liang go and give him back his body!"
"Otherwise, watch him die! Killed by your own hands!"

Wu Liang's spiritual energy surged, his eyes wild, and he spread his arms toward everyone!
"Golden Bell Shield, Thorn Damage Reflection Armor, Savage Charge! Bear King Shield!"
"Come at Me!"

A flash of red light, and Wu Liang taunted everyone!
The anger in everyone's hearts couldn't be suppressed!
"He pulled the Dao Nail! He ruined everything! Beat him to death!"
"I'm so mad! We worked so hard to guard the Dao Nail, and all our efforts are wasted!"

Under the effect of "Come at Me," no one could control their rage. They all attacked Wu Liang!
Even Jiangnan couldn't help it. He tried to suppress his anger but couldn't resist the taunt skill!

Wu Liang laughed: "Come on! Kill me! End your own brother's life with your own hands!"

Then Wu Liang's expression suddenly changed, becoming furious and raging. He glared at Jiangnan, his body trembling violently!
He was trying to regain control, but it was useless!
His eyes reddened, tears streaming, and he roared at Jiangnan!
"Come on! Bro Nan! Kill me! I've had an amazing life following you!"
"From a useless little thug to where I am today, these few years have been more exciting than a hundred lifetimes! No regrets! Don't hesitate! Do it! Kill..."

Before he finished, Wu Liang's expression changed again, smug and mocking!
"Hear that? Your brother's telling you to kill him! What are you waiting for? Put him out of his misery!"

Jiangnan: !!!

With a roar, his face twisted like a demon's!
He charged forward, fist glowing with glazed light, aiming straight for Wu Liang's head!
