Chapter 177 Real or Fake Xiaoyu?!
Chapter 177 Real or Fake Xiaoyu?!
Despite the combination of the dog and horse charms ensuring that Shendu could maintain peak condition under Riley's attacks and that he could not be killed by Riley under any circumstances.
However, the intense pain inflicted when attacked is something that neither of these spells can avert.
So, after several unsuccessful attempts to resist, Shendu chose to give up and give up. At the same time, he gradually realized that Riley was clearly capable of ending it sooner, but deliberately used Shendu as a punching bag, torturing it in every way!
For example, even though it is known that the Holy Lord, who possesses the Horse Talisman, can quickly regenerate flesh and blood.
Even while beating up Shendu, Riley didn't forget his original intention. He used his pure power to tear off chunks of dragon flesh from Shendu with his bare hands!
Moreover, they specifically target the best cuts of meat, such as tenderloin, chuck, and shoulder!
During this time, compared to the physical pain suffered...
What terrified the Holy Lord even more was Riley's bright, sunny, and healthy laughter, which made the Holy Lord feel "energized"!
It sounds even more like a demon than the real demon itself!
So much so that, for a time, not only did Shendu begin to doubt who the real devil was between himself and Riley...
Even the god who was outside of time and space, sitting on the lush green throne, and who had secretly observed Riley's every move with great interest by leaving an anchor point on Riley while secretly assisting him, sat up a little straighter and opened his eyes wide in astonishment.
No, between these two, who is the villain?
In today's stories... have those righteous and heroic superheroes all become like this?
Is this...right...?!
This is really...
That was so much fun!!!
Clearly, compared to those superheroes who are full of concerns and restrain themselves at every turn, Riley's style of seeking revenge and settling scores is more in line with the tastes of this god from Asgard!
The scene where Riley grabbed Shendu's leg with one hand and swung him around, hitting him back and forth, made the deity stand up and exclaim that this was exactly the feeling!
Indeed, the law of conservation of energy is correct...
The smile won't disappear; it will just move to his face!
It was at this moment that the god's brow furrowed slightly, sensing that beings from other parallel universes were attempting to invade this universe.
Initially, the gods intended to intercept this intruder to prevent the new story they had painstakingly found from being cut short and leaving them with nothing to enjoy.
But after briefly learning about the intruder using his powers, the god revealed a playful smile on his face.
Instead of eliminating the intruder, they subtly helped him by setting up a portal that would normally open randomly right next to Riley.
With a sudden shift in the scene, Riley, who had almost had his fill of fun, was just about to take out a potion from his system space to enchant himself and retrieve the six talismans from the body of the now-resigned Saint when his spider-sense suddenly activated, causing him to retreat several steps without hesitation.
Then, they watched helplessly as a visible mass of darkness appeared out of thin air, quickly spreading and covering the entire hall, enveloping the space in utter darkness.
"What's going on? It's so dark... Could it be that the dark forces can't handle this anymore and have moved up the screen time of the Mask arc?"
Such a bizarre scene didn't even require a spider-sense alert; Riley knew that another unexpected and formidable enemy had appeared.
Out of a sense of caution, Riley quickly activated the night vision function of his suit and looked around. Only when he spotted Xiaoyu did he hurriedly take two steps forward and shield her behind him.
"Xiaoyu, stand behind me. Don't run around until I've dealt with the enemy."
"...Okay, Riley, I'll do whatever you say."
To Riley's surprise, Jade didn't act tough as usual in the face of this sudden crisis. Instead, after a brief moment of stunned silence, she interlocked her fingers with Riley's and obediently agreed to stay by his side.
This allowed Riley to breathe a sigh of relief, and he took out a potion from the system's storage space to enchant his hands.
Then, before the enemy could appear, he carefully and slowly moved forward with Xiaoyu, using the night vision function of his suit.
Before long, they arrived beside the Holy Lord, who had been tormented by Riley during their previous encounter... or rather, one-sided beating, until his eyes were glazed over and he had completely given up resisting. After reaching out several times and emptying the talismans from the Holy Lord's body, they picked out the dog talisman and the horse talisman, intending to give them to Xiaoyu so she could protect herself.
But at this critical juncture, an unexpected incident occurred that Riley hadn't anticipated...
"Hee-ya—!!!"
Accompanied by a familiar shout, Riley suddenly sensed that someone was rapidly approaching him.
Strangely, the other party did not trigger the spider-sense warning, clearly indicating that they had no malicious intent towards Riley.
So much so that in that brief moment of distraction, Riley himself was unharmed, but Jade, who was next to Riley, was kicked solidly.
Oh, no, it can't be said that I was kicked out.
Xiaoyu raised her free hand, grabbed the attacker's ankle, and caught the flying kick with a thud!
However, none of that is the main point...
The key point is, based on what Riley saw through the night vision function of his suit…
Riley was surprised to discover that the attacker who suddenly launched the attack was also Jade!
In other words...
Xiaoyu, was Xiaoyu attacked?
That can't be right! The Tiger Talisman is perfectly fine with me, so how come a small jade has suddenly appeared?
Could it be that Xiaoyu secretly learned the dangerous spell from her father that would allow her to continuously replicate herself after casting it?!
"Damn it, you're so strong... Hey! Let go of my hand! You imposter! Don't you dare use my appearance to hold Riley's hand!!!"
While Riley was still in a daze, Xiaoyu, who had been caught, was also clearly taken aback.
He then struggled desperately to break free from the other's control, while looking at Riley, who was standing there dumbfounded, and complained irritably.
"What are you standing there for, Riley! Help me beat her up!"
"Don't listen to her! Riley! This must be Shendu's trick!"
Upon hearing Xiaoyu's cry for help, Riley almost instinctively took a step toward the source of the sound.
Before Riley could make a move, Xiaoyu, who was always holding Riley's hand, pulled Riley back to her side and said in a hurried tone.
"I'm the real Xiaoyu! She's the imposter!"
