Chapter 1379 1365: Three Gods

In an instant.

Guo Cheng did not expect that Zhou Yi would be so difficult to deal with.

What he thought was this.

If he could reach a collaboration with Zhou Yi, they would cooperate, search for the Tyrant's Heart together, and after his deeds were done, he would just kill this guy, pulling a "kill the donkey after it's done with the grinding."

The primary reason for this approach was.

When the masked man showed up later, he could join forces with Zhou Yi to fight him.

Zhou Yi had a grudge against the masked man.

Once they met.

They would undoubtedly fight to the death, and taking the chance of their conflict, he could seize the Tyrant's Heart all on his own.

If Zhou Yi didn't cooperate,

He could simply kill Zhou Yi, eliminating a potential competitor.

However.

The current stalemate made it quite a challenge to handle.

He and Zhou Yi had become entangled in a relentless struggle, and in this entanglement, he couldn't seem to gain the upper hand. Instead, he was forced back step by step by Zhou Yi.

At this moment.

Guo Cheng let out an angry roar, and from all over his body erupted beams of light as solid as buried iron.

Zhou Yi clutched the Horse-cutting Blade, executing all forty-nine strikes of the Red Sun Blade Technique. Stacked waves of Sword Qi hit him like massive tides, surging against Guo Cheng's body.

Clang!

It sounded like a great bell being struck.

Guo Cheng resisted wave after wave of sword surges, but the ensuing Sword Qi was too terrifying, even breaching his defense which was as strong as steel, leaving a slight flaw.

And it was this very flaw.

Zhou Yi did not miss but seized the fleeting opportunity with precision, pointing his finger, the wind moving.

The surrounding air gathered at that moment.

Zhou Yi pointed forward with a finger.

Crack!

A sound like a thunderclap exploded.

In Guo Cheng's eyes flashed a hint of horror. He had been wary of Zhou Yi, suspecting he had hidden tricks and lethal moves, but he did not expect his killing move to be so terrifying.

In an instant.

His defense was shattered.

Guo Cheng retreated repeatedly, trying to evade Zhou Yi's destructive strike. But the white beam of annihilation it fired pursued him relentlessly, like a cruise missile locked onto his position.

For a moment.

Guo Cheng couldn't evade at all.

Thud.

The Breaking Evil Finger hit Guo Cheng's body solidly.

Within the terrifying storm of white light, Guo Cheng's body was torn apart, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief, powerless to resist.

In a short time.

His body turned to fragments, scattering on the ground.

Zhou Yi took a deep breath.

He checked carefully whether Guo Cheng could still possibly be alive since this guy, with his mysterious profession as a Coffin Bearer, had countless bizarre tricks and possibly some other cards to play.

Even if the life coffin was destroyed.

He might still continue to exist.

However.

After Zhou Yi's careful examination, he confirmed that this fellow was truly and utterly dead.

Sigh.

Zhou Yi exhaled lightly, relieved after confirming Guo Cheng's death. The pressure from this Coffin Bearer was indeed present. If the Breaking Evil Finger hadn't killed him, Zhou Yi would have had no choice but to flee swiftly.

Life is precious.

There's no time to worry about things like the Tyrant's Heart.

Zhou Yi searched the ground thoroughly. Because Guo Cheng's body was badly fragmented, he had to rummage carefully to see if he missed any loot.

Fortunately.

There didn't seem to be any loot left behind.

From Guo Cheng's body, he only found a small wooden coffin, half the size of a palm. Compared to a real coffin, this thing looked more like an exquisite craft, a little ornament.

Surely, no one would choose this as an ornament...

For a moment.

Zhou Yi didn't know the specific use of this item and could only pocket it, waiting for an opportunity to study it thoroughly later on.

Admittedly.

This Coffin Bearer was truly poor.

There were no valuable items, though he thought there might be something like a Deceitful Object, he never found any. Besides his clothes, there was nothing else.

He didn't even have a weapon.

Surviving the world with just bare hands.

After Zhou Yi took the coffin into his hand, a commotion suddenly rose in the distance.

Zhou Yi swiftly left the battlefield.

"Right here, that heart made of stone, which flew out from the Demon Hall, is right ahead. I clearly saw it before; there can be no mistake," a voice rang out.

Zhou Yi glanced slightly.

It turned out to be a civilian Awakened.

Whether they were official or civilian Awakened could be easily identified.

They found this place so quickly, which surprised Zhou Yi slightly. It seemed that there were experts among the civilians who knew of the Tyrant's Heart.

Zhou Yi didn't know before.

As one of the Four Ghost Kings of Kunyou City, the Tyrant's whereabouts were quite a mystery.

Until earlier when Guo Cheng told him that the Tyrant has been sleeping underground, the outstretched cyan-black hand belonged to him.

To know the Tyrant's Heart.

Evidently.

They also know the true whereabouts of Kunyou City's Ghost King.

"Everyone must be careful of the Tyrant's hand, which may emerge from underground almost any moment, and if you're caught by it, unless you have the power to devour the moon, there's no escaping, no one can save you. Of course, it's a rare event; just be cautious and avoid most grabs. If you can't dodge it, there's no way, as everyone has their own fate, just be more careful next life."

Said the leader ahead.

At this time.

Suddenly, a civilian Awakened asked, "If I have bad luck, will I be easily caught? My luck has always been terrible. I'm afraid..."

He didn't finish his words.

Suddenly.

The ground vibrated rapidly.

A cyan-black giant hand emerged from underground, instantly gripping the man; its speed was astonishingly quick.

Everyone was taken aback.

Then they heard the man's heart-wrenching screams.

Thud.

Blood splattered.

The man who was joking earlier had now been crushed into a meat pancake by that giant hand, dead beyond dead.

Upon witnessing this.

Several Awakened immediately began to flee. No way, this was supposedly a rare probability? Just after saying it, one was dead; no one dared to play along with that.

Of course.

This did not frighten everyone away.

In fact, it only scared away a few.

The frequency of the cyan-black hand's appearance was indeed low, and many felt they could handle it, daring to proceed.

"Seems like your luck really was bad..."

The leading civilian Awakened remarked thoughtfully.

This guy.

Could no longer be said to have bad luck, more like his words brought reality.
