Global Game: I Have Portable Store

”Poison?”

The old man coughed up blood from his mouth; the steel wire nearly pierced his heart, just a little more and it would have taken his life.

This was a terrifying thing and quite laughable, he was nearly killed by a mere insect.

”Withered Wood Rejuvenation!”

The old man formed a spell with his hands and shouted. The poison spreading over his chest at a visibly fast speed stopped.

The hearts of Lu Yu and his companions were in their throats; just a little more, but it ended in failure.

At this moment, a figure lightly sprinted from behind into the smoke, rushing straight at the old man, holding a white Hua san.

”What creature are you?”

The old man felt that the energy fluctuation of this person was strange, unlike that of a human, rotating at an even speed, like a machine.

An invisible giant wooden token passed through the smoke from above, coming down squarely at the person charging through the smoke.

With a loud bang, the wooden token stopped, suspended mid-air, and cracks appeared on its surface.

Hua san caught the falling giant wooden token with one hand, pale blue patterns lit up on her pale skin.

Like an exquisite, perfect work of art from a top-notch master, anyone who saw it would be amazed.

However.

Hua san was not unscathed; cracks appeared on her arms, resembling splits in wood.

This was enough to make the old man exclaim in awe; this person actually took a direct hit from Bilu.

This was a Super Tier attack; even a Tier Seven Extraordinary would find it unbearable if taken head-on and would have to dodge.

”Who are you?” the old man questioned, knowing there wasn’t someone like this in the Falling Leaves Gathering Place.

Lu Yu was probably the most powerful Extraordinary here.

Hua san ignored him and said coldly, ”The Master sent me to kill you.”

The next moment.

Her figure disappeared in place, the runic patterns on her body brightened, gathering the surrounding energy, triggering immense power, then converting the energy into raw force that could be driven.

Su Changxing applied the mechanical rune knowledge inherited from Eric onto Hua san, also installing some parts disassembled from a Rune Warrior onto her, making her able to wield such power.

Hua san appeared before the old man, leapt high, and swung the white Hua san with great force forward, the immense power tore through the air creating pressure.

Boom~

With a loud crash, an entire expanse of ruins was overturned.

The old man vanished from the spot, appearing at another location not far away, waving the ruler that was now broken in his hand, while over a dozen giant wooden tokens in the sky moved with it, all smashing towards Hua san in unison.

At the same time, he also had to fend off attacks from others, which made him somewhat overwhelmed.

Ultimately, Hua san was still no match for the old man, unable to keep up with the wooden tokens constantly slamming against her and continuously dodging and defending as her body was gradually destroyed in the process.

The left side of her body was completely destroyed, yet she still didn’t stop fighting, continuously entangling with the old man, attempting to attack, then being driven back, attempting again, like a machine with no emotions, simply executing commands.

After prolonged combat, the old man’s status also declined to the freezing point, both parties were in an extremely tense state, like a thread about to snap at any moment, just waiting to see who couldn’t hold on.

Whoever couldn’t hold on would fall.

Whoosh~

A moment of negligence, a strike grazed the old man’s ear, piercing half of it, blood kept flowing out, wetting his shoulder.

”You have no chance of winning me, the Inheritance Tree must stand here.” The old man, though seriously injured, still stood upright and spoke righteously.

Hua san didn’t care about what he said, launching another attack without concern, but now with only one leg left, much slower, the old man seized the opportunity to strike off the remaining leg, causing her to fall.

At this point, there were no standing living people nearby; they were either lying on the ground, dead, or fled.

”Completely unnecessary battle.” The old man looked around, speaking to himself.

He unhurriedly tidied his clothes, then walked towards the fallen Bronze Tree; no one could stand in his way anymore.

When a person resists to a certain extent, they stop resisting, they give up.

This is his experience.

After taking a few steps, the old man stopped, seeing someone blocking his path, a young kid holding a length of blood-stained wire in hand.

”I thought you would run away, I’m glad I didn’t kill you,” the old man said flatly, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Yi Xiaotian, mouth full of blood, mumbled indistinctly: ”Why would I run? You nearly died by my hand.”

”Why fight so desperately, you’ve just undergone Mortal Transformation so young, you have a boundless future ahead,” the old man asked unhurriedly, not in a rush to kill the other party, better to clear up unclear matters.

He was a person who reasoned things out.

Yi Xiaotian spat a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the ground, grinned fiercely: ”You don’t understand, after the apocalypse this is our home, you’re an invader. Do you know what an invader means?”

The old man remained silent for a moment, then said plainly: ”I’m doing this for everyone...”

As he spoke.

With a flick of his single hand, a wooden token bearing the character ”Tian” hurtled toward Yi Xiaotian from an angle.

The token carried a mountainous force; if hit outright, it would surely result in pulverization, leaving not a chance of survival.

And this was Bilu, to those above him as light as a feather, to those below him as heavy as a mountain.

The token was caught by a hand as it fell, caught with ease.

Su Changxing appeared beside Yi Xiaotian, catching the falling token with one hand, looking around at the scene, he couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

”Is it necessary to kill so many for a strange tree?” He looked at the old man and questioned, feeling very angry.

The old man saw Su Changxing, a single hand easily catching Bilu, his eye couldn’t help but twitch.

The evident strength shocked him greatly, he had considered how strong Su Changxing was but hadn’t expected it to be this terrifying.

”Are you the one who uprooted the Inheritance Tree?” he still spoke, seemingly not particularly frightened by Su Changxing’s strength.

Su Changxing said with a relaxed expression: ”Yes, and what then? Kill me? I don’t think you can beat me.”

”Every grievance has a source. I uprooted the tree, yet you come here and killed so many — isn’t this a bit unreasonable?”

”Tell me, how would you like to die?”

The old man’s face twitched uncontrollably, speaking excitedly: ”You don’t understand anything. What you’re doing will harm everyone; the Inheritance Tree is the root of our Human Race, you’re courting heavenly retribution!”

Unable to win in fight, the old man resorted to reasoning, seemingly trying to persuade Su Changxing.

Su Changxing shook his head: ”It’s yours, but not ours, we don’t rely on it.”

Subsequently, the old man saw Su Changxing raise his hand, then saw a beam of light, the brightest light he had ever seen.

Danger.

He felt extreme danger, making every hair on his body stand up, yet he was unable to move, unable to react.

The old man silently crumpled to the ground, without performing any extra actions, died simply like that, a finger-sized bloody hole on his forehead, penetrating through to the back of the head.

Su Changxing seizing scattered memory fragments from the old man’s dreams, learned that these outsiders couldn’t connect to their world’s forum, even though they were all players, they belonged to different systems.

”Dead?”

Yi Xiaotian stared dumbfounded with wide eyes, feeling the scene before him was very unreal, the seemingly unbeatable old man died easily at Su Changxing’s hands.

Su Changxing retrieving a bottle of what seemed like alcohol from the Pocket Galaxy, pouring it on the blood wound on Yi Xiaotian’s abdomen:

”Lie on the ground and rest, move around too much and you might really die.”

Yi Xiaotian was grievously injured, managing to stand at this moment was an astonishing feat, his abdomen along with part of the internal organs was entirely crushed and pierced through.

If he hadn’t become a Tier Eight Extraordinary with increased life force, he would have long been dead.

Su Changxing continued forward, stepping over rubble and shattered stones, seeing Lu Yu, only half of his body remaining, still tightly gripping the chain of a Chain Saber.

He was already dead, all traces of life extinguished.

”You didn’t disappoint me... but, it’s a pity.” Su Changxing stooped down, picking up his Chain Saber, throwing it into the Pocket Galaxy, his face devoid of much expression, turned to walk towards Hua san’s location.

As he had just walked out of the passageway, he saw a message from Lu Yu, realizing a battle had erupted here, he then instructed Hua san to go and hold it off.

The rune patterns on Hua san were only a rough outline, and his body lacked the length to support stronger energy, thus his fighting strength was weak.

Hua san himself couldn’t be regarded as a true Undead, he was a kind of Flesh Puppet, roughly a puppet that had combined with the soul of an Undead to form a semi-living entity.

As to how he came into being, Su Changxing didn’t know, strange things were too numerous, the more mysterious and powerful a world was, the more unknown phenomena it held.
