Chapter 1115: Team Destruction
"What time is it?" Doctor Zhao said urgently. "Do I have any reason to lie to you here? And would I use... this kind of excuse to lie to you?"
Yan Zhichun naturally had her own considerations after hearing this. She turned her head to look into the distance, then called out, "Xiaoxiao."
"Xiao...?" Doctor Zhao felt like that name rang a bell.
He had once participated in a game called "Weapon Cards" with Qi Xia, a "Ground Rooster" game. When they came out, they ran into three "Extremists"—one called Old Sun, one called Jiang Ruoxue, and the woman who looked the craziest among them was called Xiaoxiao.
Sure enough, a familiar figure pushed through the wind from the crowd. She seemed completely unaffected by the gale, and was even half a head taller than Doctor Zhao.
"I'm here," Xiaoxiao said. "What's up?"
"In a moment, you're to protect this man at all costs as he touches the display screen and the giant bell. He has a method of destruction," Yan Zhichun said. "If necessary, sacrifice your own life."
"No problem." Xiaoxiao nodded.
"No... wait a minute..." Doctor Zhao was stunned. "I... I said I wanted a girl to go with me... but Xiaoxiao is a bit too..."
Xiaoxiao clearly didn't understand and turned to look at Doctor Zhao, explaining, "I really am a girl."
All of Doctor Zhao's words got stuck in his throat. This didn't seem to be a matter of whether one was a girl or a boy.
Yan Zhichun added, "From all angles, there are very few abilities within the entire 'Extreme Path' that can protect people. Xiaoxiao can guarantee your life safety to a large extent."
"But..." Doctor Zhao didn't know how to express his needs.
"I'll go with you too," Lin Qin said. "This path is too dangerous. If I go with you, our chances of success will be higher."
"You...?" Doctor Zhao was taken aback.
Yan Zhichun gave Lin Qin a meaningful glance, then nodded.
Lin Qin didn't hesitate any further. Together with Xiaoxiao, she escorted Doctor Zhao toward the side path.
After all, the White Tiger was standing right in front. The best approach was naturally to go around from the flank.
After sending off the three, Yan Zhichun went to one side of the White Tiger, concentrated her belief, and activated her "Heart-Seizer." The White Sheep had once said that even a "Heavenly Rank" couldn't be immune to the Heart-Seizer. By that logic... "Divine Beasts" should be about the same.
The question now was... whose belief was stronger—hers or the White Tiger's?
She came to one side and, while the White Tiger was confronting "Expansion," tried to control the White Tiger's movements.
Luo Shiyi noticed Yan Zhichun's route from high above and couldn't help but frown.
If he remembered correctly, Qian Wu had used a similar method before, trying to assimilate the Black Tortoise with "Twin Flowers." But what was the result...?
Yan Zhichun closed her eyes, trying to sink her subconscious into the deepest part of herself. She could vaguely feel some strange force connecting her to the White Tiger.
But the next second, she involuntarily raised her hand.
She felt something strange, quickly opened her eyes, and saw that it was the distant White Tiger who had raised his hand. The huge gap in belief caused a backlash on Yan Zhichun. Although "Heart-Seizer" had connected the two, it was she who had handed over control of her body.
The White Tiger, as if completely unaware, clenched both fists in the air. A bunch of enormous trees began to grow in midair.
At that moment, Yan Zhichun also awkwardly raised her hand and imitated the White Tiger's clenched fist.
She quickly severed the "Heart-Seizer," freeing her body. Then she hurriedly shouted a few warnings to "Expansion."
"Expansion" seemed to have been using her ability the whole time, her face already flushed red from exertion. It looked like she was no longer thinking clearly.
The massive pillar connecting the giant bell and the display screen had bulged high in the distance, but "Expansion" was, after all, "Expansion." She had made a metal pillar swell up quite a bit, but it was hard for her to make it break on the spot.
Yan Zhichun knew this was the best result she could achieve. Usually, people don't know the internal structure of the display screen, so they can't even make the screen "expand." But once the pillar was damaged, the display screen and the giant bell would topple to the ground.
After all, this was just a "destruction" mission. Everyone just needed to complete the task in the simplest and fastest way.
Now, the White Tiger had summoned several large trees above "Expansion's" head, ready to fall at any moment.
Seeing that no matter how she shouted, "Expansion" didn't respond, Yan Zhichun knew the girl was beyond saving.
She was about to give up, but then something occurred to her.
Why... was she beyond saving?
At this moment, the "Extreme Path" was no longer fighting alone. It was now an unbreakable team.
Thinking this, Yan Zhichun closed her eyes, lifted her feet off the ground, and leaped backward.
The distant "Expansion" was stunned for a moment. Her "Echo" was interrupted, and she too leaped backward, following Yan Zhichun.
Almost at the same instant, the several huge trees in the sky fell sharply and plunged into the ground.
**BOOM!**
A huge sound rang out, and everyone felt the ground shake.
Several "Extremists" closest to the impact fell down as the ground shattered. Yan Zhichun had saved "Expansion" at the critical moment. If she had been half a second slower, there would only be minced meat left now.
The White Tiger frowned, then stirred up another gust of wind. He seemed to have realized that this unusually fat girl really could affect the giant bell and the display screen, and immediately decided to kill her.
"Foolish... you are truly foolish..." the White Tiger said. "Am I trying to harm you?"
Before the "Gale" from his hand could even sweep out, he saw that huge rocks had somehow grown on his arm.
The rocks were strung on his arm like candied hawthorns, as if they were a part of him.
"Such childish beliefs..."
The White Tiger paused, then suddenly flicked his hand, shattering the huge rocks on his arm as if shaking off soap bubbles.
Countless fragments flew out, shooting like bullets at all the "Extremists" before him.
Everyone was about to raise their hands to block the fragments, but then they saw sparks appear on the rocks, barely visible to the naked eye.
Aunt Tong looked up and saw a rock with sparks flying toward her. Before she could react, a fat figure lunged forward.
"Xiaochan, watch out!"
**BOOM!**
Countless explosions sounded all around. Old Lü stood in front of Aunt Tong, just managing to block this medium-sized blast.
"Old... Old Lü!" Aunt Tong's eyes widened as she hurried forward to check on him.
Old Lü had both arms crossed in front of him. His forearms were reddened, but fortunately, he wasn't injured.
"Whew... thank god I'm 'Hardening'," Old Lü said, still shaken. "What the hell is this old man...?"
From his high vantage point, Luo Shiyi watched coldly. The "Extremists" were already scattered by the White Tiger's terrifying destructive power. The other two "Divine Beasts" hadn't even appeared yet. The situation was extremely bad.
"Gale, Dense Wood, Detonation," Luo Shiyi muttered. "The lofty 'Divine Beasts' are using our tricks."
