Boss's Death Guide

Chapter 125 - Angel

Unedited

Shi Shiqing was stunned for only a moment, then shifted his gaze away from Yu Xuguang. Right at this time, the four people onstage already had their flesh cut for the fourth time.

Yao Mengzhi didn’t put on any makeup today, exposing her bluish complexion. She looked a little strange, but it surprisingly matched her black gown.

She alone stood at the highest platform, slowly reciting her teachings. Her expression was tranquil with a demonic aura radiating from her.

Right at this time, Qi Jingchen suddenly reached out and took out the little monkey from Nie Yi’s shirt and brought it into his arms before standing up.

He knew that after his and Nie Yi’s life were connected, Nie Yi probably wouldn’t stand up for his safety. Therefore, he himself simply stood up.

He couldn’t allow Nie Yi’s friends to die just like that before them... After standing up, the first thing Qi Jingchen did was use his light ability.

A gentle, white light spilled out of his body and began spreading outwards. As the white light swept past, those fanatical believers originally kneeling on the ground unexpectedly revealed blank expressions.

They all believed in the Dark God, and this white light obviously wasn’t the same as dark energy. However, it felt just too good when illuminating their bodies...

Normal people merely felt good when touched by the white light, but after those shadow guards were shone upon by the white light, they began emitting black air...

The few shadow guards nearby immediately fell to the ground and began rolling about in pain. They soon fell silent; their skin colour gradually returned to normal but they were already dead. Those further away instead rushed towards Qi Jingchen as if seeking death.

Zombies would run upon seeing Qi Jingchen, but probably due to being under orders, they just wanted to kill Qi Jingchen.

Qi Jingchen had been squeezed in amongst the crowd, but at this time, looking at his surrounding situation, pushed aside all the people before him with his light energy.

The white light opened up a path within the crowd. Qi Jingchen slowly walked towards the stage, and at this time, Nie Yi and two B City secure base members had already rushed to the stage. The remaining two were standing guard beside Qi Jingchen.

They acted together almost at the same time Qi Jingchen did.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Yao Mengzhi’s face. “Sure enough, you all came...”

Qi Jingchen hadn’t taken more than two steps when Nie Yi and the other two had already reached the stage. Seeing them rush over, the oracles originally unmoving at the stage hastily obstructed them.

These oracles were likely ability users initially, and perhaps were even highly experienced in battle. Now, their battle consciousness was very strong; of course, it was their ability that was even stronger.

The black fog unexpectedly could corrode other people’s bodies! Moreover...

A certain secure base envoy’s bodyguard didn’t have any ability and was even a little foolish, unexpectedly running about chaotically onstage. He then accidentally bumped into the black fog... At first, he merely began rotting like everyone else, but later, after a sharp cry, unexpectedly turned into a zombie in a very brief period!

“Demon! Those people in black robes are demons!” A foreigner cried out. “Shi! You actually brought us to a place filled with so many demons!”

“This place doesn’t only have demons.” That person’s reproaching voice barely finished when someone beside them said, “Look over there! It’s an angel!”

Almost the moment Qi Jingchen made a move, Nie Yi did as well. At first, these people didn’t notice Qi Jingchen, until now.

A youth with rather dark skin and rather average looks was walking to the stage they were at. That youth was emitting a white light, and his entire being looked extremely pure and holy. Those zombie-like demon guys all rushed towards this guy, but as long as they ran into the halo around him, they would emit a black god before falling to the ground with anguished wails.

After falling to the ground, their bodies even returned to normal! They were cleansed!

“My god!” A foreigner grabbed Shi Shiqing’s hand and cried out emotionally.

“Angel, is this an angel sent to save us?” Another foreigner said.

Many people of their O Country believed in God. After zombies emerged, and they discovered the energy of zombies was darkness, there were many people who felt that the apocalypse was because demons from Hell wanted to destroy the world. What a pity that they encountered demons, but there were no angels to come save them...

Roughly due to such a mindset, after they saw Qi Jingchen, they subconsciously began calling him as an angel, even if Qi Jingchen was nothing like the angels they imagined.

The people onstage all began constructing defensive measures before them to avoid being involved in the fight. Right at this time, Yao Mengzhi spoke up. “Irrelevant people, leave!”

Yao Mengzhi barely finished speaking when someone from a small secure base wanted to leave. As a result, upon looking at the side of the stage, it was unexpectedly surrounded by shadow guards!

S City secure base unexpectedly had this many shadow guards... He was astonished, but continued walking out with gritted teeth. Those shadow guards surprisingly didn’t stop him, which allowed him to sigh in relief.

With someone leaving, the others began leaving as well. However, there were people who stayed as well. For example, an envoy from a nearby, relatively stronger secure base had belief in his own strength— and was also a little uncertain with tying himself to S City secure base —stayed behind.

“Xiao Jiu, what should we do?” The other bodyguard Shi Kun had brought was an earth ability user. He had set up an earthen wall by the stage, then hid behind it with Shi Kun and Yu Xuguang.

“You guys have an exit, otherwise, just hide here. I’m going to take a look!” Yu Xuguang said. The battle had already begun; No matter what, Qi Jingchen definitely must not be hurt...

At this time, Qi Jingchen had already reached the edge of the stage.

He had always worried that Yao Mengzhi would use firearms, but unexpectedly, Yao Mengzhi didn’t...

The present situation was a little strange, but since he had already made a move, he could only push forward.

Standing by the stage, Qi Jingchen reached up and patted the monkey in his shirt.

The little monkey was nestled in his embrace and felt extremely comfy from the steady flow of light energy coming from him. Now that it was patted a few times, it unexpectedly grew some vines out of nowhere, then brought Qi Jingchen up to the stage.

This scene undoubtedly shocked many people. There was no one else around Qi Jingchen, so could he be... a plant ability user as well?

At the start of the battle, Shi Kun didn’t dare look at the intruders, but had now looked over. As a result, he just happened to see the strongly halo-ed Qi Jingchen being stably brought to the stage by vines.

He watched on in astonishment and couldn’t quite come back to his senses. He previously even lost his temper at this tanned and shy kid. But this kid was unexpectedly this powerful...

And that father of his... Shi Kun looked again, and only then did he realise that battling with the oracles was unexpectedly the middle-aged man he despised so strongly! That middle-aged man could even protect those people previously injured while fending off the oracles’ attacks!

Fuck! This guy was actually this powerful! No wonder Xiao Jiu liked him! Shi Kun was so stunned he practically couldn’t speak. Then, his gaze shifted and finally landed on Qi Jingchen involuntarily.

The tanned youth looked very ordinary, but for some reason, seemed to attract other people’s eyes very, very strongly, causing him to be unwilling to move his eyes away...

How absurd; he actually felt that a male was good-looking. This was something that had never happened before!

Shi Kun was a little flabbergasted. Then, something even more stupefying occurred...

Xiao Jiu, who had been with him moments ago, unexpectedly reached into his chest area, then took something out and threw it towards the highest place where Yao Mengzhi had been watching below herself silently.

Shi Kun suddenly recalled that he used to love watching those resistance shows the most. At that time, although he liked watching it, he would sometimes feel that certain things were impossible. For example, taking out a bunch of bombs from their trousers and whatnot. But now... sure enough, art imitates life!

Shi Kun thought of many things, but Qi Jingchen and the others didn’t have as much free time as him. They simply had no time to ponder at all.

After reaching the stage, Qi Jingchen threw his ability towards Nie Yi and the others who were battling against the oracles.

He was using another crowd control skill. When the light ability touches Nie Yi and the few injured friends he had just saved, it healed their wounds; when it touches the oracles, it would inflict heavy wounds.

Right at this time, he saw Yu Xuguang hurl a bomb at Yao Mengzhi.

A bomb was very formidable, but to ability users, grenades were nothing, because they could deflect it... Yu Xuguang’s grenade had just reached Yao Mengzhi when a black wind appeared around her before blowing aside the grenade and even turning it towards Nie Yi’s direction.

Qi Jingchen threw out a lightball, ultimately beating that grenade away from the stage.

Now, there were just shadow guards and some fanatical dark believers remaining below the stage. The grenade blew up in the middle of them, causing deaths. At the same time, the lightball Qi Jingchen had thrown also exploded.

After fragments of this blown up lightball touched the shadow guards, it caused them to begin rolling about the floor in agony. But when it touched those injured fanatic believers, it would only more or less heal their wounds slightly.

These fanatics initially wanted to charge up the stage and kill Qi Jingchen, but after their wounds were suddenly healed, they lost motivation.

They were a little at a loss, and didn’t want to hurt Qi Jingchen either. After standing there for a while, they ultimately left.

“The angel is truly too amazing!”

“Quickly kill those demons!”

“Shouldn’t we go help the angel?”

At this time, the foreigners who had similarly constructed defensive structures were in discussion. Not one of them left, and they were watching Qi Jingchen.

When Shi Shiqing heard their conversation, he unhesitatingly stated, “If that angel is injured or is killed, it’s unlikely that there would be a second angel appearing in the world.”

“That’s true...” The foreigners looked at each other in dismay, then all acted, attacking the oracles.

They were all their nation’s strong users. With their help, it instantly allowed Nie Yi to occupy the winning side.

Seeing this, Shi Shiqing felt extremely gratified. When tricking those foreigners to come, he even thought that perhaps they wouldn’t be of much use. But unexpectedly, it immediately became a battlefield upon their arrival, and they were instantly useful!

Shi Shiqing rushed out closely behind them. He didn’t rashly go against those dark oracles, but headed to Qi Jingchen’s side to protect him.

He was an earth ability user and was most proficient in defence. At this time, he had to protect Qi Jingchen well, and definitely couldn’t allow him to be injured.

With protection now, Qi Jingchen finally slowed his attacks. His light ability was just level three, and if he were to continue expending it at such a rate, it wouldn’t be long before he exhausted his reserves. Since it was like this, it was better to keep some ability to use at a crucial time.

At the same time, Nie Yi’s four friends whose flesh were cut were delivered to Qi Jingchen’s side. Among them, two originally should have been ability users but now already lost their ability nucleus and were extremely frail. But after Qi Jingchen used his ability on them, they immediately regained their vitality.

Everything before them was developing well. Nie Yi threw a hand out and even attacked Yao Mengzhi who was above them.

Yao Mengzhi was standing there quietly watching Nie Yi, then suddenly revealed a strange smile.

Before Nie Yi got close, Yao Mengzhi waved her hand and flung out several black wind blades, forming a wind dragon cutting towards Nie Yi.

At a certain level, Yao Mengzhi was now a dual ability user as well, possessing both the wind and darkness ability. When the two abilities were combined, the lethality wasn’t low.

Nie Yi watched as the wind ability approached. He first threw out a large fireball to intercept and burn the darkness ability, then blocked it with an ice wall, then with a sideway dodge, continued advancing from the side.

This time, Yao Mengzhi surprisingly didn’t attack, instead saying, “It’s time.”

Time? Time for what? Nie Yi felt doubtful, but his movements didn’t slow. However, right then, dense, black fog suddenly poured out of Yao Mengzhi. The thick dark energy thoroughly surrounded them. Not only this, concentrated black fog spilled out around the stage as well, instantly turning the entire stage into a sea of black fog.

Many shadow guards were standing outside the stage; upon being touched by the black fog, these shadow guards suddenly became spirited, their entire ‘person’ even changing at a visible speed. At the same time, after the fanatical believers by the stage touched the fog, they unexpectedly began slowly turning into an existence similar to those shadow guards.

They were likely better than zombies, and a little more high-levelled, but also couldn’t be considered human anymore!

The change was sudden. There was an ordinary person amongst the envoys left onstage. Once touched by the dark fog, he instantly turned into something like a shadow guards, then began attacking everyone around him.

As for the other people, ability users had a bit of a resistance against such dark energy, but it was still just a slight bit...

“Come to me!” Seeing this, Qi Jingchen finally knew what Yao Mengzhi wanted to do! Yao Mengzhi was planning to capture them all in one go!

He had the help of Yu Xuguang and his people, then saw those foreigners deciding to attack. However, as their number of people increased, Yao Mengzhi did not care, so much that... Now that there were many people on their side, it gave him no choice but to speed up the use of his ability to protect them.

“Since you guys stayed behind, then stay forever ba,” Yao Mengzhi said as she looked at the people in the black fog. She gave those small secure base envoys attached to S City secure base a chance to leave, and didn’t stop the foreigners from leaving, but there were still people who stayed.

Since they didn’t want to leave, then everyone should stay ba. She didn’t mind killing a few more people, since it meant a few extra puppets.

Yao Mengzhi’s voice wasn’t resounding, but still clearly reached everyone’s ears. Someone couldn’t help crying out, “Saintess! Saintess! I only stayed behind because I wanted to see your grace! I beg of you, let me go! I don’t want to die!”

“I can’t let you off. Now, not a single person can leave,” Yao Mengzhi said with a smile. Hearing this, the person who begged for forgiveness immediately ran towards Qi Jingchen. However, before he could reach Qi Jingchen, a large, black blade suddenly appeared and cleaved him into two.

At this time, all the remaining people had run to Qi Jingchen’s side. Qi Jingchen’s surroundings had a thick, white light, and conversely blocked off the black fog completely.

The current dark ability in the air was almost the same intensity as the dark energy on Earth before Qi Jingchen died. In such a situation, humans required a very strong ability if they wanted to survive, and needed to be able to create a domain. But even if they had a doman, many would still be corrupted by the darkness and die...

And now, the strongest ability among them was just level four, and they were still very, very far away from having a domain!

The only thing they could rely on was Qi Jingchen’s light ability.

Shi Kun and the rest were following behind Qi Jingchen. As they ran towards Qi Jingchen, several people felt regretful, thinking that they should leave sooner. But after entering the area of Qi Jingchen’s ability, they ineffably didn’t regret it anymore...
