Chapter 2774 - Protect Him
Chapter 2774 – Protect Him
Before, the nascent mediums had feared that they might accidentally kill Zi Zhen, but now they felt the pressure. Each of them tensed up, no longer daring to be overly confident.
“Take action!” If they didn’t take action now, Zi Zhen would systematically cut them down!
The deep sea battlefield was directly plunged into chaotic warfare. White and purple light crazily clashed, causing intense turmoil. Divine abilities and cosmic charts competed for brilliance, evaporating seawater, and many underground mountains and rocks were instantly turned into ashes.
Battles at the Cosmic Cartography stage were often more intense and harder to die in, so they tended to last longer. Each person had several lives! If they couldn’t cleanly kill their opponents, there would be fish that slipped through the net.
“She’s over here!”
“Be careful!”
“So strong! Everyone, try not to let her get close. Use your lifebound beasts to protect yourselves!”
“Protect each other!”
The nascent mediums, with their rich combat experience, withstood Zi Zhen’s first wave of attacks. They understood that she aimed to break through them one by one. So instead, they focused on defense, wearing down her spirit, morale, and strength.
However, they didn’t know that her intention was to delay as much time as possible for Tianming to successfully obtain his order!
She fought with all her might. With six cosmic charts, her margin for error was very high. Even if she was bombarded and her brain was severely injured, her cosmic charts could rearrange her astrons and allow her to quickly recover!
After experiencing battles and injuries, it seems like more things are surging out from my bloodline. Zi Zhen was currently focusing on enduring the beatings. Every time she was injured, she could feel her bloodline being stimulated, transforming her body. She got injured, then climbed back up and charged at the enemy again!
There were many people blocking her. The nascent mediums’ cooperation in battle was indeed excellent, trapping her like a trapped beast. However, she persisted. Her flesh caved in and a bloody wound was ripped open on her back by an artifact. Her arm was almost chopped off!
However, none of those injuries could bring her down. She quickly dodged, and once she stood up, she charged again, tireless and fearless.
The nascent mediums had wanted to compete with her in physical endurance and willpower, but they’d underestimated her. They quickly discovered that her flesh was too tough, she was impossible to kill, and she even recovered at great speed. And once she got close to one of them, she was inevitably lethal.
The more they fought, the stronger and more courageous she grew. The ferocious look in her six pupils deepened the frowns on the faces of Yuan Long and the others.
“I need help!” Just then, another nascent medium made a mistake and was approached by Zi Zhen. Now that she was close, the nascent spirits’ divine abilities were prone to friendly fire. Even if other nascent mediums attacked her from behind, the clash of swords and blades couldn’t stop her from killing!
Fists, claws, tail, and teeth. She launched herself at the nearest nascent medium and grabbed the arm holding his artifact, tearing it off and ripping out his organs as her tail smashed apart his cosmic charts.
Another nascent medium died in despair!
What was terrifying was that Zi Zhen, facing away from everyone, was hit several times during the brief encounter and her back was full of wounds. The cosmic artifacts that could tear people apart couldn’t even seriously injure her in one go! And as long as she didn’t get instantly torn apart, she could recover and her cosmic charts would still shine.
Although, at this rate, her strength would eventually be depleted with the high consumption, Yuan Long and the others were also consuming a lot of their strength as well.
“Why does it seem like she’s getting stronger and stronger?!”
“If this continues, I’m afraid more of us will die!”
“We can’t take her down!”
Thirteen nascent mediums, after seeing the death of two companions, were starting to panic. For them, becoming cosmic cartographers was already difficult, and coupled with the fact that this was the Xenoabyss, where pulling a rope could get them out, it wasn’t supposed to be a place where people died!
Zi Zhen had already frightened them.
“This isn’t right! Not right!” Yuan Feng hissed.
“What’s wrong?” Yuan Long asked.
“She has this strength, and we can’t surround her at all! Even now, if she wants to leave, she can do so at any time. Why bother fighting to the death here?” Yuan Feng gritted his teeth.
“Yes!” Yuan Long slapped his head.
“She must have a reason!”
“Is it that the white-haired kid is also nearby and she needs to protect him?”
“The problem is that she found us first. If she wanted to run away with someone, she could’ve done so at any time.”
“In other words, the coordinates where the white-haired kid left are nearby. He might come back at any time, so she wants to deal with us before he returns?”
“Or maybe that white-haired kid is still around, but can’t be disturbed for some reason?”
They quickly discussed many possibilities, all of which pointed to one solution!
“Don’t fight her. Let’s just defend ourselves in a fighting retreat, and at the same time, look for opportunities to search the surroundings!”
“Yes!”
The nascent mediums had just been trying to encircle her, but they immediately contracted, gathering together into a defensive line and protecting each other.
“Use divine abilities to suppress her and don’t let her get close!”
“Avoid dispersing!”
In this situation, if Zi Zhen wanted to continue killing, it would be several times more difficult. What frustrated her the most was that her targets were retreating in the direction of the cave where Tianming was hiding.
If they continued retreating like that, they might all hide there. In that case, the unguarded Tianming might lose his life on the spot. The situation made Zi Zhen’s eyes completely red!
“I can’t let them touch him! I can’t… I can’t!” Her heart was turned upside down and the ferocious and murderous aura all over her body became stronger and bloodier. After the continuous release of bloodline power during the battle, it had broken through to a certain critical point!
Suddenly, she let out an even more piercing scream that left the eardrums of the nascent mediums stinging. They clearly saw that she was getting more and more anxious and grew even more delighted before they witnessed a scene that terrified them.
The purple demon’s form expanded again while keeping a constant density, directly increasing her size several times and growing to five meters tall! Her claws became longer, like knives, and her fangs, tail, and hair extended, making her appear even more ferocious!
However, since her density remained unchanged, the transformation could only be possible if each of her astrons had undergone changes and expansion. It was fundamentally different from the size fluctuation of an ordinary specter!
More ferocious, bloodier, and more brutal!
“All of you die!” She issued a sharp cry, her speed dramatically increased. Directly facing the nascent mediums’ storm of divine abilities, she used her cosmic charts to pave the way and charged into the midst of the nascent mediums.
Facing Zi Zhen, who had obviously become stronger, the nascent mediums felt like heaven and earth were shattering. It was like a lion entering a pack of wolves!
