Chapter 137: The Toolmaker’s Gift
After Lei De used the Never-Empty Magazine Pistol in his hand to shoot and kill the priest.
That pitch-black handgun had the runes on its body rapidly dim, then turned into specks of flowing light and dissipated into the air.
But Lei De showed no reaction to this at all. He did not pay any attention to the dissipating handgun, and the arrogant smile still hung on his face.
He looked at Lin Xun and Shen Wei in front of him, his eyes filled with mockery.
“Now, there are only you three left.”
“Guess, who will be the next to die?”
Lin Xun and Shen Wei’s expressions were frighteningly grim. After exchanging a glance.
Lin Xun suddenly charged toward Lei De, and the two instantly became entangled in fierce combat.
In a flash of lightning, blades clashed and sparks flew.
Lei De’s power was berserk; every attack carried destructive force.
Lin Xun’s blade techniques were exquisite; every swing precisely avoided Lei De’s vital points.
The battle blade in his hand seemed to have come alive, changing unpredictably in his grip.
Shen Wei, meanwhile, stayed at a distance, her hands forming seals as she muttered incantations.
“Starlight Bombardment!”
Streaks of dazzling starlight, like meteors, blasted toward Lei De.
Lei De dashed left and right, dodging the bombardment of starlight.
All three possessed formidable combat strength, and all were supported by transcendent potions, thus gaining powerful endurance.
As a result, the three remained locked in combat for a long time without a clear victor, the battle situation exceptionally fierce.
However, no matter how strong Lei De was, he was facing the joint assault of Lin Xun and Shen Wei, and on Lin Xun’s side there was also a doctor behind them restoring Lin Xun’s and Shen Wei’s injuries.
Thus, as time went on, Lei De began to show signs of being overwhelmed.
Several blade wounds and traces of starlight burns appeared on his body.
“Damn it!”
Lei De cursed. He had not expected Lin Xun’s and Shen Wei’s strength to be this formidable, and there was even a doctor interfering from the rear.
If this dragged on any longer, he would gain no advantage. At this thought, a trace of impatience flashed in Lei De’s eyes.
After he exerted himself to unleash a bolt of lightning to force back Lin Xun, who had closed in on him, he once again took out a transcendent artifact from his bosom.
It was an antique-looking flashlight.
At the switch of the flashlight was embedded a red gemstone.
“A flashlight that makes people quiet!”
Lei De sneered ferociously and abruptly turned on the flashlight.
A red beam instantly shot out from the flashlight, going straight for Lin Xun.
However, Lin Xun deftly dodged it, and as a result the red beam hit the doctor behind Lin Xun instead.
At this moment, the doctor was providing support to Lin Xun and Shen Wei.
Her abilities were healing and spreading plague, but with both sides locked in chaotic melee, her plague-spreading ability was hard to use.
Thus, she was using her healing ability to hide in the rear, continuously restoring Lin Xun’s and Shen Wei’s injuries—yet at this moment she became the sacrifice.
“Watch out!”
Lin Xun shouted a warning.
But it was already too late.
The red beam instantly enveloped the doctor.
The doctor’s body suddenly stiffened.
Her eyes became vacant.
Her entire body was fixed in place, completely motionless.
“Damn it!”
Lin Xun’s and Shen Wei’s expressions changed drastically.
“Hahahaha!”
Lei De laughed wildly as he rushed toward the doctor.
He raised his fist, lightning flickering around it, preparing to deliver the final blow.
“Stop!”
Lin Xun roared in fury, the battle blade in his hand swinging as he charged straight at Lei De.
Shen Wei also rushed forward.
But the distance was too great; they were simply too late to save her.
Bang!
Lei De smashed down with a single punch.
The doctor’s body instantly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
【Player【Thunder God】killed player【Plague Doctor】】
【Current surviving players: 6】
……
After Lei De used the flashlight in his hand to kill the doctor, the flashlight soon turned into specks of flowing light and dissipated into the air.
But Lei De actually pulled out another flashlight from his bosom, identical to the previous one.
Lin Xun looked at the doctor lying in a pool of blood, then glanced at the flashlight Lei De had taken out, his eyes filled with shock and fury.
“You… you actually still have transcendent artifacts?!”
Lin Xun roared in anger, the battle blade in his hand swinging as he charged straight at Lei De.
“Of course!”
Lei De laughed wildly, and the flashlight in his hand once again flashed with red light, shining toward Lin Xun.
Lin Xun’s expression changed as he abruptly retreated.
He knew that the ability of this flashlight was immobilization.
Once immobilized, he would be easily killed by Lei De, just like the doctor.
Shen Wei also rushed in, streaks of starlight bombarding Lei De.
Lei De dashed left and right, dodging the starlight attacks.
The flashlight in his hand also occasionally shot out red light, attempting to immobilize Lin Xun and Shen Wei.
“Lei De!”
Lin Xun roared, his eyes filled with unwillingness. “Where did you get so many transcendent artifacts?!”
“Impossible!”
“The number of transcendent artifacts is extremely limited; every single one is a priceless treasure!”
“How could you possibly have so many?!”
Shen Wei’s expression was grave. She looked at the flashlight in Lei De’s hand, and a flash of realization crossed her eyes.
“I get it now!”
“Our Star Palace received news.”
“The Ascension Alliance recently obtained a transcendent known as the 【Toolmaker】?!”
“It seems that Lei De having so many transcendent artifacts should be related to the 【Toolmaker】?!”
Lei De’s movements suddenly froze.
He looked at Shen Wei, surprise flashing in his eyes.
“Oh? You actually know?”
“That’s right! It’s the 【Toolmaker】!”
“Hahahaha!”
Lei De laughed wildly, his eyes filled with pride. “The 【Toolmaker】’s ability is to create one-time-use transcendent artifacts!”
“All the transcendent artifacts in my hands were made by him!”
“Although they’re disposable, their power is no weaker than normal transcendent artifacts!”
“Otherwise, what do you think gives me the confidence to fight the four of you alone?!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xun’s expression changed drastically.
“Toolmaker?!”
He had never imagined that the Ascension Alliance would have such a trump card.
Disposable transcendent artifacts.
This meant that Lei De might still have countless such transcendent artifacts in his hands.
This meant that what they were facing was not a single transcendent.
But a mobile transcendent artifact arsenal!
At this moment, Lei De held the flashlight in one hand, looking for an opportunity to fire red light and immobilize Lin Xun and Shen Wei.
With the other hand, he condensed lightning, occasionally blasting out thunder to seal off their movement paths.
“Damn it!”
Lin Xun cursed. He felt his mental energy being rapidly consumed.
He knew that if this continued, sooner or later they would be worn down and killed by Lei De.
“Shen Wei! We underestimated Lei De’s strength!”
“If we don’t use our trump cards now, all of us will die here!”
Shen Wei nodded, a trace of resolve flashing in her eyes.
“Alright!”
The two exchanged a glance and suddenly charged toward Lei De.
……
Jiang Li’s soul form silently floated in midair, taking all of this in at a glance.
He looked at the flashlight in Lei De’s hand, his heart ice-cold.
The ability of this 【Toolmaker】 was far too terrifying.
To actually be able to produce disposable transcendent artifacts.
This meant that the Ascension Alliance would possess countless transcendent artifacts.
This meant that the pursuit he would face from the Ascension Alliance in the future would be extremely horrifying.
Jiang Li murmured, “It seems my days ahead won’t be easy.”
“But I won’t retreat. All of you deserve to die!”
“Uncle Wang, Auntie Li.”
“I will make those people who killed your son.”
“Pay the price!”
