Chapter 43.3

Xiao Tangqiu was about to explode in frustration. At this critical moment of life and death, there was actually a freaking barrage of “constructive” opinions in his studio… This stupid skill must be the most useless special skill in all of history!

Right when he felt his chest tighten from the anger, suddenly, another barrage of comments appeared in front of his eyes.

“Since this is a battle with the BOSS, of course he needs some good equipment! I will bestow Mr. Streamer with the

Holy Blade of Science

.”

“Let’s go Pikachu!”

Xiao Tangqiu felt happy at first, but soon his heart sank again.

Great! Finally, someone sent him equipment! The Holy Blade of Science… This name sounded really….

Wait a minute! There seemed to be something wrong.

Fuck! Isn’t the Holy Blade of Science a….

……Crowbar?

In the next second, Xiao Tangqiu felt his hand grow heavy as a crowbar appeared in his palm.

Xiao Tangqiu, “……”

Fuck! He guessed right! It really was a crowbar!

What’s the use of giving him a crowbar in a battle of the gods against demons? Was he supposed to take a crowbar and rush forward to hand over his head on a silver platter?!

Couldn’t this useless skill be reliable for once?

Despite endlessly roasting in his heart, he could only bite the bullet since the crowbar was already in his hand.

The one minute of his special skill time was over. Shen Yuan and Duan Hongzhen were still carefully dealing with Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu. Xiao Tangqiu raised his crowbar and rushed towards Lippinobert. He would just pretend that his head was a stick!

“

Thud

!”

A loud noise sounded.

Perhaps Lippinobert had been hit with the crowbar because he was unprepared for a weak battle slag like Xiao Tangqiu.

Fuck! He hit him! He really hit him!

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart was filled with joy.

Was this not an ordinary crowbar after all? Was it really… a holy blade?

However, in the next second, Lippinobert turned around, resentfully looking at Xiao Tangqiu. Although he remained unscathed, he was obviously angered by Xiao Tangqiu’s hit.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Tangqiu flew against his will and crashed into the wall.

Xiao Tangqiu’s five viscera and six bowels churned and he saw stars. The crowbar in his hand had also been released.

Tang Mianmian saw what had happened and quickly picked up the crowbar. He roared loudly as he dashed towards Lippinobert.

But this time, Tang Mianmian didn’t even get close to Lippinobert before he was slapped far away from the latter, crashing into the wall like Xiao Tangqiu. Unfortunately, he was worse off than Xiao Tangqiu and slammed face first into the wall. When he got up from the ground, his face was covered with blood and he looked rather pitiful.

Xiao Tangqiu endured the pain and climbed up, looking miserable beyond description.

Damn it! That was just a common crowbar! He had been cheated again!

This stupid skill was indeed the most useless skill in all of history! It was so shitty nothing else could compare! So fucking unreliable!

He must unbind it as soon as he goes back!

……If he could still go back alive!

However, with the interruption of Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian, Lippinobert temporarily relaxed his control over Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu. The two took the opportunity to break away from the puppet strings and quickly began to fight back.

Lippinobert laughed at their efforts, not bothering to dodge at all. Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu rushed at him but they seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and couldn’t move forward at all.

At the same time, Duan Hongzhen also began to make his move. His flying knife flew at Lippinobert’s face but suddenly turned a corner in mid-air and headed straight for Shen Yuan instead,

Although Shen Yuan quickly dodged, Duan Hongzhen turned and ran towards Shen Yuan as soon as his knife was blocked. At this point, Shen Yuan frowned slightly, the two quickly engaging in a fight.

“Fuck! You back-stabbing traitor! Are you Judas?” Tang Mianmian cried incredulously as he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Duan Hongzhen turned around and glared at Tang Mianmian, “You’re the traitor!”

However, his attacks on Shen Yuan didn’t stop at all. Instead, he attacked harder and harder.

It turned out that Duan Hongzhen had also been controlled by Lippinobert without their knowledge!

Xiao Tangqiu supported himself against the wall and forced himself up. He stretched out his hand and patted Tang Mianmian’s back. “You vomited blood…”

Tang Mianmian continued to vomit blood as he replied, “You vomited blood too…”

The two men, who were busy vomiting blood, talked to each other with a bitter smile on their faces. Indeed, for battle slags like them, even a hard and all-out blow was only a tickle to the big BOSS. Even if they wanted to rush up to help, they could only do that much.

In spite of this, Xiao Tangqiu still struggled to pick up the “Holy Blade of Science.” Although it was just an ordinary crowbar, at least he had a weapon to defend himself. On the other side, the fighting between Shen Yuan and Duan Hongzhen grew more and more intense.

Both of them we

re injured, bleeding from various wounds all over. Although Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu wanted to rush forward to stop them, they were unable to move.

“Kill each other! Even if you break your arms and legs, it doesn’t matter. I’ll help you sew them up afterwards,” said Lippinobert with a smile.”I’ll sew you beautifully, more beautiful than the prettiest doll.”

As soon as his words fell, Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu fell under his control again, jumping towards Shen Yuan and Duan Hongzhen. The four of them fought in another intense battle.

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian watched nervously from the sidelines. Although Lippinobert’s puppet strings swung around unpredictably, Shen Yuan hadn’t fallen into Lippinobert’s hands this entire time. Moreover, he was still able to cope with the joint attack of Duan Hongzhen, Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu. However, he still had to give them leeway, which made it difficult for him to attack and left him with even more injuries.

With more and more wounds on Shen Yuan’s body, Yu Fuling’s eyes were red with anxiety but her body was still attacking Shen Yuan against her will.

Eventually, the fight still ended. Shen Yuan fought one against three and managed to defeat Duan Hongzhen, Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu.

Duan Hongzhen powerlessly fell to the corner, his life and death was still unknown. Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu slammed into the ground, having completely lost all ability to resist, but Shen Yuan’s state wasn’t good either. He fell to the ground half-way, kneeling on one leg and supporting himself with one hand on the ground. He didn’t seem like he had the strength to get up.

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart lifted immediately. But right at this moment, Lippinobert was eagerly playing his part as a demon. He sighed and spoke in the most grandiloquent tone that he could muster, “No matter how exciting the play is, it will eventually come to an end. It’s time to end everything now… Come, be my puppets!”

……Was the BOSS making his big move?!

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart jumped out of his chest. Sure enough, in the next second, Lippinobert smiled and waved at Shen Yuan, black smoke drifting towards him.

The black smoke gave off an ominous feeling. It had the aura of death, both deadly and decaying. As it spread everywhere, everything was corroded, even the wooden floor of the church had eroded, turning into a deep black hole of nothingness.

Xiao Tangqiu’s head instantly blanked at the sight. He couldn’t imagine what would happen when the black smoke touched Shen Yuan. Looking at Shen Yuan, who had fallen to the ground, completely unable to resist, he didn’t even have the time to think before he resolutely threw himself in Shen Yuan’s direction, blocking the latter behind him.

Xiao Tangqiu blocked Shen Yuan with his back facing Lippinobert. When the black smoke touched his body, he immediately felt the skin and flesh on his back explode with pain. It was the pain from being burnt by scorching flames. The burning sensation seemed to reach the depths of his soul in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Xiao Tangqiu was almost delirious with pain. The last sliver of his consciousness was focused on confirming Shen Yuan’s safety. When the pain reached the apex, his nerves actually went numb. Aside from his vision, the rest of his five senses became numb, he could no longer hear anything…

Everything became blurry at once.

Shen Yuan finally managed to stand up. With one arm around Xiao Tangqiu, he pulled the latter into his embrace. His brows tightly knitted in a deep frown, his eyes dark and deep. His mouth opened and closed as if he was anxiously trying to say something…

However, Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t hear anything at all. He absentmindedly looked at Shen Yuan as all thoughts in his head became sluggish.

This seemed to be the first time he saw Shen Yuan reveal such an expression…

Was he about to die…

At this time, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly felt a coldness hang over his body. The coldness spread from the burns on his back, instantly eroding his entire body.

In an instant, he raised his hand uncontrollably, ruthlessly clawing Shen Yuan’s chest, digging into the depths of his body. Before he knew what was happening, his hand was wrapped around Shen Yuan’s heart.

He widened his eyes in disbelief. Shen Yuan’s eyes revealed a look of shock as well. Despite his best efforts to struggle, his body was completely out of his control. His fingers cruelly drilled into Shen Yuan’s heart and caught something!

No!

No!!!

Xiao Tangqiu frantically screamed from the bottom of his heart. However, his body and actions were completely beyond his control, completely against his will.

Right then, he could finally hear something. He heard himself giggling in a strange laughter. A weird voice that sounded both male and female said, “I caught you…”

“Give me your heart too. You don’t want it anyway, do you?”

“Since you don’t want to be a demon, then give me your heart…”

Under Shen Yuan’s utter disbelief, Xiao Tangqiu’s hand gripped something embedded deep inside his heart and pulled it away violently.

At the same time, Xiao Tangqiu could finally hear the voices of everyone else. He heard them shouting and screaming in despair, “No!”

He was also screaming in despair on the inside,

no!

However, he could only watch helplessly, unable to stop what was happening before him. Just when he gave himself to despair, he suddenly felt a stab in his chest as a sharp pain spread.

Xiao Tangqiu looked down. It turned out that Shen Yuan had also dug his hand into his body and grabbed hold of his heart.

So be it then…

Now, he could finally be free of everything….

Before completely losing consciousness, he only had enough time to take a final glance at Shen Yuan’s eyes. But all he saw within those eyes, that were so dark they were completely black, was a bottomless ocean, an endless abyss that threatened to devour everything.
