Chapter 677: Chapter 590: No Running, Just Fight!

The pillar of fire roared as it surged towards the sky, rapidly expanding and destroying everything in its path. Yu Lan, closest to Angelina, was almost engulfed. Lu Shuhang darted behind her and then swapped positions with the Four-leaf Phoenix Tree.

The Four-leaf Phoenix Tree immediately granted Yu Lan Divine Speed Power.

Repeating this cycle, five electric flashes streaked past, and the five members of Assassin’s Creed swiftly escaped the danger zone, reaching over a hundred meters away from Angelina.

The flames clung to her like maggots on bone, devouring the raven wings on the silver-haired girl’s back. The entire floor was turned to ruins. Standing on the wreckage, Angelina breathed heavily, her heavily injured body trembling.

Xu Xiaoyou silently used a Skill Card to heal Angelina, only to find that the [Fountain of Life] was ineffective. Raising her head, she saw that Angelina was also afflicted with the Ash Burning debuff, preventing healing.

She narrowed her eyes slightly.

The final showdown with Assassin’s Creed had not yet arrived, and they must rely on Angelina to escape the predicament.

The limited-level enhancement Skill Cards like [Blood Burning Engine], [Overlimit Moment], [Heavenly Movement], and [Angel’s Reconstruction] had all been used by her on Angelina. Even so, they were dragged into a bind by Assassin’s Creed, making it hard to extricate themselves.

Lu Shuhang’s strategy was overly conservative, to the point of enduring. After confirming she had initial funds and a number of Skill Cards, he purposely kept a certain distance from them, intending to deplete her Skill Cards.

"Running like this, we won’t escape..." Angelina said.

The five members of Assassin’s Creed chased again.

"You can see, the Dark Gold Rose has been forced to a dead end, with no retreat for the desperate ones!" The host’s voice was exceptionally enthusiastic.

"Facing the entire Assassin’s Creed pursuit, what tricks does the Dark Gold Rose have left? Could this spell the end of the Light Chasing Garden’s league journey?"

Angelina looked up, noticing Xu Xiaoyou suddenly rise. A brief flash of light followed, her cloak dancing behind her as a giant shadow of the roulette wheel appeared, and the dice started rolling.

Xu Xiaoyou unleashed the "Rose Destiny Armor".

"If we can’t escape, then let’s attack."

With that, several Skill Cards appeared at the fingertips of Xu Xiaoyou, transforming into light and merging into her body. She then shot towards the sky, the dazzling electric light tearing through the sky, a blazing blue Electric Sword appearing in her palm.

"The Dark Gold Rose opted for offense!" the commentator shouted, "Am I seeing this right? She chose to go on the offensive even when surrounded by five people!!"

In the stands, several analysts stood up:

"Has the Dark Gold Rose finally decided to get serious?"

"After all this time, she’s finally using those skills, despite being in such a sorry state before."

Nanjia Wood squinted his eyes.

He was now fairly certain that the Dark Gold Rose’s peculiar abilities were related to her wealth.

Angelina clicked her tongue, wings snapping open, and likewise shot into the sky, following closely behind Xu Xiaoyou.

Xu Xiaoyou, without hesitation, slashed with the Electric Sword, aiming directly at Lu Shuhang.

Lu Shuhang crossed his arms in front of him, forcibly shielding the strike. Overflowing electric energy dispersed, as dust continually passed through his vision, the two rapidly descended from hundred meters high.

"Lu Shuhang," Xu Xiaoyou said calmly, "you really made a mess of me."

Lu Shuhang started to speak, intending to say something polite, but Xu Xiaoyou delivered a heavy punch to his face, making his composed face cave in.

Lu Shuhang’s eyes widened; her speed suddenly became extremely fast.

Xu Xiaoyou added a [Bad Girl Workshop Lite].

Two Deacon Long Blades appeared in her hands. With a slight turn, she guided the Deacon Long Blades downward, clashing with Lu Shuhang’s twin daggers, quickly separating, then clashing again.

The pace of their clashes increased until they left afterimages, and the blades intersected densely like a weave. Xu Xiaoyou’s speed with the swords increased, often attacking with one sword before the previous one even finished its swing, repeatedly striking the same spot, causing even the space to whimper, leaving behind several cracks.

The airstream whistled past, cleaving along the blade, parting Xu Xiaoyou’s bangs. Although expressionless, Lu Shuhang could see the girl’s anger from her calm eyes, realizing her earlier words were not mere talk.

Due to the rapid succession of slashes, Xu Xiaoyou didn’t need to worry about whether Lu Shuhang could decipher her moves. She only needed to repeatedly attack, forcing him to concentrate solely on defending against her onslaught.

Tens of strikes per second created a barrier of airflow in front of Xu Xiaoyou; every passing wind veiled a menace, cutting any carelessly exposed skin.

In the briefest moment mid-air, the two exchanged several rounds; soon, Lu Shuhang’s body bore dense knife marks. Before a few team members could support him, they fought from sky to ground, breaking through the dust to attack.

Weapon clashes rang, blade lights resounding.

"Captain!" Zhou Zhao shouted.

He lifted a finger, several ivory gates unfolded, yet the silver silhouette zoomed past her side, with ashes swirling, charging straight at the Four-leaf Phoenix Tree behind him.

"Angelina!"

Zhou Zhao gritted his teeth, redirecting all gates towards Angelina.

If Su Sui was merely troublesome, then Angelina was the last person he wanted to face. This person fought with no rhyme or reason, driven solely by instinct like a mindless protozoa!

"Her target is you, Four-leaf Phoenix Tree!" Xiao Xinzhu loudly warned.

Four-leaf Phoenix Tree turned, decisively employing Divine Speed Power, only to realize it had failed, while Angelina had already reached him.

"Weren’t you so eager to chase me just now?"

"Why do you want to run now?"

Four-leaf Phoenix Tree’s eyes widened, spotting a Skill Card stuck to his shoulder.

"This is!"

——[Tenfold Seal]!

This Skill Card’s effect is to prevent someone from using any abilities, lasting 0.5 seconds.

Four-leaf Phoenix Tree’s face met a hard blow, his nose smashed and teeth shattered, instantly ruining his sinisterly handsome face. Angelina’s spear pierced straight through his chest. With a loud shout, she flapped her raven wings, breaking through their blockade, shooting straight towards the horizon.

The rush of wind roared past, Four-leaf Phoenix Tree gritting his teeth, activating Divine Speed Power the moment his life plummeted past the danger threshold, flashing beside Xiao Xinzhu.

Meanwhile, Angelina redirected her spear, an intense fighting spirit making her fiercely aggressive, sweeping Yu Lan blocking her path with one spear, kicking Zhou Zhao aside, again charging towards the Four-leaf Phoenix Tree.

"Damn, this dog cut loose from the Dark Gold Rose’s chain has gone mad!" Zhou Zhao muttered, "First, protect Four-leaf Phoenix Tree, don’t let her cut this guy down!"

At these words, Angelina’s expression twisted, accelerating even more.

The pent-up rage erupted, her loud roar accompanying flames soaring sky-high, the Ash Burning Domain expanding to a hundred meters, enveloping all five within.

Nobody could stop her now; she was determined to cut down the Four-leaf Phoenix Tree today, no matter what!
