The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them - Chapter 79
“Even though I know there’s no danger to my life, but…this kind of thing! I never want to experience this again in my life!”
Cyril yelled, slamming on the brakes and quickly turning into a narrow alleyway with Su Li on his back.
The raven flying high in the sky, even if discovered, one could never have imagined that it was a ninth-level monster beast.
Therefore, this action of Cyril, the flamboyant, fragile assassin carrying his teammate to evade the boss, in Xiao Zuo’s eyes, was just the struggle of an insect before its death.
Although there was raven protection, it was essentially just a tug-of-war that wouldn’t cause any fatal harm to either side.
But for Cyril, the pressure was immense.
Cyril even thought: “Carrying you and running, it’s more like using you as a meat shield than saving you from danger! I’m so glad Xiao Zuo doesn’t seem to be a smart person, he actually used elemental attacks on you…”
But even so, Cyril remained strong.
Su Li patted him on the shoulder and said with emotion, “Is there a possibility that he just thought that whether he attacked you or me, as long as he could hit, we both wouldn’t survive?”
Cyril: “…Don’t say it, I don’t want to hear it.”
Then, Xiao Zuo threw out a blade of light from a distance, at least five times faster than Cyril’s running speed.
Numerous blades of light almost sealed off Cyril’s escape route. This offensive was like adding a special attribute of guaranteed hit. No matter how flamboyant Cyril’s movements were, he could only be hit hard.
Su Li, whose dynamic vision was never so developed in his life, shouted at Cyril, “Get down!”
Then, like a real human meat shield, he tried his best to block all the damage for Cyril.
But honestly, it was impossible not to be afraid.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, it was just an attack condensed from compressed elements. Even if there were many, it was essentially just a means of attack. As long as it could be avoided or rendered ineffective, there was nothing to worry about.
But the reality was that Su Li’s brain and body weren’t on the same page.
Brain: Based on the current situation, I definitely won’t die, and I can even achieve the “smoke without injury” law.
Body: That damn thing is sharper than the water jet used to cut diamonds in modern society! Once it hits someone, the internal organs will fly everywhere!
Su Li, whose mind was in a mess, was eventually hit hard in the back.
He and Cyril were back-to-back against this attack that couldn’t be resisted by personal means. After being hit, they rolled several times in the alley before barely stabilizing themselves.
Su Li reacted quickly. He raised his head, looked at Xiao Zuo, who was walking towards him with an extremely elegant gait, and firmly raised his right hand, decisively saying, “I suddenly think you’re right, Cyril. This kind of thing, let alone this life, I don’t want to experience it a second time even in my next life.”
Cyril: …Tsk!
“According to your style, shouldn’t you struggle desperately and try to persuade the other party to buy you time? Why are you lying down so peacefully?”
“Ah…” Su Li turned over on the ground.
“Mainly, I have three minutes of invincibility, so even if I can only be a real man for three minutes, I’ll last longer than you.”
Cyril: ???
“Besides…” Su Li looked at the gray sky.
When snowflakes fell on his emerald green pupils, Su Li, relying on his consciousness, overcame his instinctive urge to blink.
And those snowflakes became a barrier to his vision above his pupils.
Su Li sat up straight, looked at Xiao Zuo, whose age seemed to be similar to his own, and smiled nonchalantly.
He bent his right leg slightly, with a smile on his lips, a smile that was simply for the sake of smiling, without any other meaning.
Su Li turned his back to Cyril and said firmly, “But who can say that we’re finished?”
At this time, Xiao Zuo had walked up to them.
The boy’s shadow obscured the light in front of Su Li.
“Running is pointless,” Xiao Zuo’s voice sounded like that of someone who hadn’t spoken for a long time, hoarse and low.
“Since you’ve been targeted by Big Sis, I will definitely fulfill her wish and cause your death.”
Su Li didn’t respond. He put his right hand on his knee and made a gesture behind his back for Cyril to run away.
Then Su Li heard the boy in front of him continue to say, “What does death taste like? I haven’t experienced it, I don’t know. But I think the world after death must be a place that can bring new experiences.”
“I hope you’ll be satisfied with that world.”
The next second, like an ordinary person facing a spotlight in the dark, Su Li was enveloped by a large expanse of white. Before he could react, his body was impacted, smashing through three walls before stopping.
But whether it was the collapsed stones, the light pollution caused by the attack, or the dust flying everywhere, it once again proved the power of the “smoke without injury” law.
Su Li brushed away the dust in front of him somewhat uncomfortably. Looking at Xiao Zuo, who looked stunned because he was still standing, he said calmly, “Then I can only say sorry.”
“I haven’t seen enough of this world, and I don’t have any plans to go to death for now.”
Su Li straightened himself up, leaning against a piece of building debris. He looked at Xiao Zuo, who was about the same height but looked younger, and not only wasn’t he dragged into Xiao Zuo’s world, but he could even say, “Besides, who can say that this world is above hell?”
Danger, danger, danger…
The sixth sense screamed wildly. The city residents who had come out to watch the commotion because of the series of disturbances were driven away by something invisible, and all thoughts of watching the excitement disappeared.
They quickly hid in the nearest buildings, as if this would protect them from the danger that came from nowhere but pressed heavily on their senses.
Cyril, who had already retreated a long distance and could turn around and run at any time, was also as if frozen in place, unable to make any obvious movements.
The raven flying in the sky originally planned to act according to Su Li’s plan, but seeing Cyril looking like he could barely stand, it had to squat down on Cyril’s shoulder to help him get rid of the pressure, then glanced at Cyril’s quickly fleeing back, and then the raven, still disguised as an ordinary crow, flapped its wings twice and flew into the air again.
Su Li glanced at a bracelet on his left wrist that had cracked, then looked away and continued, “You can’t kill me.”
As soon as he said this, Su Li felt what it was like to be tossed in a washing machine and spun wildly.
After breaking another bracelet and two rings, Su Li still said calmly, “Stop doing these meaningless actions. You can’t kill me in a short time.”
“And you, who can’t complete the task, can’t get back in a short time either. So, even if I can’t win this long-distance game, I can at least achieve a draw.”
The commander of the Amikbi soldiers was Ophelia. When this news was confirmed, Egbert had already been dispatched.
The signal for his action was the meteor shower-like scattering of fireballs about two or three kilometers away.
The previous signal was given by the low-flying raven, which rose again after rescuing Cyril.
This meant that Euphia could start actively attacking the Amikbi soldiers outside the city.
When Euphia acted, Egbert would act.
With Egbert’s speed and efficiency, Ophelia probably wouldn’t have reacted before falling into his hands.
And he still had about a minute and a half of invincibility time left.
Before all the alchemy tools on his body were broken, Su Li selected a few of the most important questions from the massive amount of questions that arose in his mind and spoke them out.
“The big sis you’re talking about is Ophelia, right?”
“…”
“Using attacks as a response means I’m right.” Su Li adjusted his chest clothes.
Just now, as soon as he asked that question, the clothes that were still intact two seconds ago had become a piece of tattered cloth that wouldn’t look out of place in a trash can.
“You have a blood relationship.” Su Li received an even stronger attack.
“But you haven’t been written into the Amikbi royal family’s genealogy, which means you’re not recognized.” Su Li remained calm while flying in the air.
“All light element users are reserve personnel of the Church of Light. You, who are at least ten years old, possess such strength, yet have never been discovered…this can only mean that the King Amikbi is intentionally concealing your existence.”
“Ophelia thinks the time has come for you to be exposed, so this means your strength can at least face any of the current overt strongest individuals.”
When he finished speaking, the nearby residential buildings had become ruins.
“You and Ophelia are siblings, but you don’t share exactly the same bloodline.”
“One of you two has confused the royal bloodline.”
“Ophelia dispatched you to target important people in Sadina City because she wants you to establish your authority as quickly as possible and use you to make herself one of the decision-makers who define the world’s order among the top elites.”
Su Li completely ignored the absurd treatment his body was receiving.
He was smashed from the sky to the ground, then used as a weapon, smashed through several houses, and now, he was held by Xiao Zuo by the collar of his tattered clothes against the nearest intact tree trunk.
“Let me guess again…”
The invincibility time, calculated by heartbeats, left Su Li with ten seconds.
After ten seconds, fragile as Su Li was, he would die if hit by any attack from Xiao Zuo.
But before that.
Su Li lifted his eyelids slightly, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. He calmly and cruelly said his last sentence—
“You, Xiao Zuo, are a…rather big boy.”
