Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 2199: All of you are crazy (2)

Thud!

Another muffled sound came from inside the entire tent, and everything paused for a moment.

The confusion in Chongken Suʼs eyes flashed and disappeared.

The Confusion Killing Soul-Shaking Formation was precisely such an intermediate-level formation that could, at certain moments, affect everything within it.

It was not that Ming Qi and the others did not want to set up more powerful formations, but those formations were very easy to detect. Even the Confusion Killing Soul-Shaking Formation had required considerable effort to set up.

The duration of Chongken Suʼs effect was very short, perhaps only a brief instant. For a great expert like him, an intermediate-level formation truly did not have a very strong restraining effect.

But that very moment of his distraction allowed that half-smiling, half-sneering face mask to arrive right before him.

The five-pointed star markers formed by those defensive formations seemed not to affect this face mask, which collapsed at the slightest touch.

Chongken Su could not care about anything else. He suddenly pressed both hands downward. The formation beneath his feet, which had been continuously spraying flames within a certain range around him, seemed to come alive. With a bang, countless flames, like a fountain, formed a wall of fire in front of him. At the same time, he pulled out an exquisite pocket watch-like item from his spatial gear and released it, letting it float before his chest.

In that short amount of time, this was all he could do.
The face mask plunged into the wall of fire. Those scorching flames did not stop it, only reduced its size slightly. From Chongken Suʼs perspective, this face mask pattern, like a demonic ghost, revealed a terrifying smile at him from within the flames.

”Activate!”

Chongken Su said softly. The pocket watch floating on his chest immediately emitted a rapid, high-frequency buzzing sound. In an area of several square meters, roughly a dozen centimeters in front of the pocket watch, everything suddenly came to a complete stop.

Including that face mask, which had seemed invincible moments before.

Chongken Su breathed a sigh of relief.

From the start of the battle until now, to be honest, he had performed very well. Having been ambushed, facing nearly ten enemies around him, he had managed to injure six of them and then held his ground against the remaining three strongest, fighting to a stalemate. As a member of the Su Clan, he could be proud of himself.

It must be remembered that both Ming Qi and the two Star-Eye clan leaders were powerful existences just below the great expert level. And although Chongken Su had crossed that line, he was, after all, only a formation master, and combat was not his specialty. Maintaining a stable situation was very simple.

He could not help but look toward Luozhi Su.

Now, this elderʼs decision could almost determine the situation of the battle.

Yes, just moments ago, Elder Luozhi Su had made his choice. But that was only just now. As long as the price was right, everything could be changed.

Chongken Su had also been startled by the generous offer of fifty million Moonspan Gold, but thinking about it now, that did not seem to be a problem. As long as he captured these few people—no, killed them—then he could convict them upon returning to the clan. Even just looting the Star-Eye Clan alone would yield more than fifty million; the gains should be over four hundred million.

He did not believe that Ye Zhongming had already spent the two hundred million he had taken from the Su Clan. Adding the Star-Eye Clanʼs own value, plus the various materials needed by the Su Clan that Ye Zhongming surely possessed, four hundred million was only a very conservative estimate.

He could also offer Luozhi Su a price that would move him.

But before he could speak, he saw the changed expression on Luozhi Suʼs face.

Chongken Su turned his head back, but what greeted him was a silent scream that pierced directly into his soul.

The face mask erupted at this moment. It did not cause any physical damage, but instead directly transformed into a spiritual shock!

The Su Clanʼs spiritual power was decent among all the cosmic races, but this face mask seemed able to find weaknesses, plunging Chongken Suʼs consciousness into a brief blank.

He recovered quickly. He felt that it should have lasted at most two seconds, because from the corner of his eye, he saw that Luozhi Suʼs expression had not yet disappeared.

However, just as Chongken Su was about to respond, he found his body stiff and unable to move.

He had lost control of his body!

This was impossible!

Chongken Su panicked and found it unbelievable.

He was a great expert. A combat-type professional might quickly defeat him, but making him lose control of his body would require at least an existence at a higher level than his!

But was there any higher-level existence around? There was only Luozhi Su, who was at the same level! And he had not even acted yet, so it was obviously impossible.

Then who was it? At this moment, a flash of inspiration struck Chongken Su. He realized something.

That eerie face mask caused his current state, and that face mask had come from those two masks.

The Star-Eye Clanʼs... masks!

Yes, those were items passed down through their generations. Every member of status had their own exclusive mask. The two masks he had just faced were their clan leader masks!

They must possess some hidden ability, which allowed the two clan leaders, who were not yet at the great expert level, to unleash this skill that first stimulated spiritual power and then blocked control of the body!

The wall of fire fell. Chongken Su, unable to move, saw clearly the situation ahead.

Although the six Star-Eye attackers had been injured by his formation and had lost their combat effectiveness, the other three people, in this short time, when he had lost his sight, had been frenziedly attacking those five-pointed star markers from three directions.

The clan leader who should be Eye Lady had already followed the path left by the face maskʼs attack and was almost in front of him.

At this speed, perhaps five seconds later, the weapon would touch Chongken Suʼs body.

Chongken Su rapidly thought of ways to regain control of his body and continuously tried to make his formation launch attacks. But to his disappointment, aside from his consciousness still being his own, everything else was disconnected from him. Even his consciousness only allowed him to have thoughts, without emitting any spiritual abilities, such as control or communication.

He could only watch helplessly as the three people used the same method to shatter the five-pointed star markers one by one.

At this critical moment, Chongken Suʼs potential exploded. His spiritual power surged at this moment, directly breaking through the restrictions imposed by that mysterious ability. However, the breakthrough was only slight. He could control the functions of his head.

Chongken Su immediately turned his head and said to that side, ”Luozhi Su, save...”

The following words did not come out because a dagger had already been inserted into the side of Chongken Suʼs neck. The insertion was not very deep, so he did not die immediately.

Chongken Suʼs body also recovered at this moment. He convulsed, swayed, and stared at Luozhi Su, who was still sitting there motionless. Regarding the fact that he was about to die, he still could not accept it.

Many things flashed through his mind, finally all centering on this incident.

”You all... are truly... insane...”

The body fell, leaving only a few fragmented words, which slowly faded away inside the tent.
