You should know that if this blow hits a building, it can easily shatter it.
Yet they could not leave even the slightest mark on the demon coffin.
As for Zhongli and the other two, they hid inside the demon coffin.
The demonic coffin, having just been attacked, suddenly began to act on its own.
With a whooshing sound, it crashed into the self-reliant child.
Seeing the attack coming, Zijian Tongzi floated away, and his body disappeared at the same time.
In an instant, hundreds of limbs continued to strangle the demonic coffin.
But still, there was no improvement whatsoever, which made me very angry.
They tried to use illusions to invade, but Zhongli and the other two were hiding inside the demon coffin, so it was ineffective.
They could only keep dodging the impacts of the demonic coffin.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up with the self-inflicted child, Zhongli formed a hand seal.
The normally sized demonic coffin suddenly expanded to a hundred meters, crashing down like a small mountain.
Seeing this, the self-slaying boy with the demon face showed a hint of fear and turned to dive into the water.
Rumble…
A massive, 100-meter-long black iron coffin plunged into the lake, blasting away most of the water.
Zhongli, inside the demonic coffin, frowned slightly, unaware that he had sucked the self-inflicted child into his coffin.
It's important to understand that Zhongli's goal was to capture the self-inflicted child, not to kill him.
The original plan was to absorb the self-slaying child into the demon coffin to weaken and suppress him, making it easier to capture him.
Looks like I'll have to resort to some tactics.
Thinking about it, Zhongli gently patted the little bird, Takanashi Toka, who was tightly hugging him because of the darkness inside the demon coffin, and said.
"Ten Flowers, Self-Slaying Child, and others will automatically enter my demonic coffin in a moment. Do you believe that?"
When Tokachi Kotori, who had been photographed, heard Zhongli's question, she understood what he meant and immediately denied it.
"This is impossible."
Because it was dark, Bao Yue, who was also holding Zhong Li's midnight snack, looked at the two of them strangely.
I don't understand the point of these two people suddenly saying this.
Upon receiving a negative response, Zhongli softly chanted a spell, activating the Words of Infinite Deception.
Instantly, three-tenths of his spiritual power was consumed to distort reality.
However, the amount consumed was rather large, causing Zhongli to frown.
Does it really take this much effort to let in a mid-level peak supernatural being?
It's not about forcefully suppressing them, it's just guiding them in; it's not some unattainable reality.
However, what Zhongli didn't know was...
When the self-inflicted child hid in the lake, a cursed item deliberately hidden in the lake suddenly broke open.
A skeletal hand merged into the self-slaying child's body, unleashing a violent curse.
This instantly elevated the self-inflicted child's spiritual level to the advanced supernatural realm.
It was precisely at the moment the demonic coffin crashed down that he used his supernatural ability, [Phase Shift], which had surged to the level of advanced awakening.
They were instantly transported out of the lake.
And coincidentally, the location they moved to was right next to Takatsuki Eiko.
This startled Takarazuki Eiko, who had already arrived and was watching the battle with peace of mind.
Before he could escape, he was grabbed by the neck by the self-slaying boy and was about to be beheaded on the spot.
At this moment, Zhongli's Words of Infinite Deception can be activated.
They were dragged directly into the demonic coffin.
So, after Zhongli finished chanting the incantation and distorting reality...
Self-Slaying Child and Tsuki Eiko appeared in front of him instantly.
Furthermore, a small cut had been made on Baoyue Yongzi's neck, and it was bleeding continuously.
And the knife marks are still gradually widening.
After all, the self-inflicted child's slashing curse is penetrating and directly grabs the person's neck.
Even if Hozuki Eiko has many substitute dolls that can replace the harm.
A tiny portion of the curse still lingered, seeping layer by layer down to Hogetsu Eiko's neck.
Upon seeing this, Zhongli's pupils contracted slightly.
He immediately activated the Demon Coffin's weakening ability, amplifying the effect on the Self-Slaying Child to its limit.
At the same time, with a grab in the void, a two-meter-long Barrett sniper rifle stored in another part of the demon coffin was pulled out remotely.
It was shoved directly at the head of the self-inflicted child.
"You monster, take my sniper rifle."
Boom...
The deafening noise and explosion stunned the four people and the ghost present.
My ears are ringing.
Especially the self-inflicted child, whose head was shot straight at by a spear, sending him flying on the spot.
……
PS: [Psionic Barrett] A mid-level magical artifact crafted by Zhongli.
It possesses the ability to penetrate, knock back, and lock onto targets; when fitted with specially refined ammunition, it can also explode.
As for why Zhongli has a Barrett rifle, as a gang leader, what's wrong with having a Barrett?
They didn't take out rockets because they were afraid of accidentally hitting someone.
Moreover, with Lv5 mechanics and Lv5 gunpowder, what can't they make?
Chapter 42: Baoyue Yongzi's throat is slit; spatial chase; mission complete.
The moment Jijō-dōji was blasted away.
Zhongli also disappeared briefly, and when he reappeared, Baoyue Yongzi was already beside him.
Everything happened too fast. Baoyue and Xiaoniao You Shihua were brought back to their senses by the gunshot.
He then discovered that there was a woman named Takatsuki Eiko beside him, and that she had a knife wound on her neck that severed her trachea.
This also resulted in Hōgetsu Eiko being unable to speak, and could only make "hehehe" sounds.
Bao Yue, who had been calm all along, finally showed a hint of fear on her face.
The skeleton couldn't help but tremble.
You should know that Takatsuki Eiko was one of the few remaining relatives of hers after her parents passed away.
Even now, her daily life is still being taken care of by Eiko Hozuki.
It can be said that Hōgetsu Eiko is a relative comparable to one's parents.
Baoyue immediately supported Baoyue Yongzi, whose body was beginning to weaken due to excessive blood loss.
He covered the bleeding wound on his neck with his other hand, his voice trembling.
"Yongzi, don't speak, I'll get you the medicine right away."
Bao Yue quickly took out the Rejuvenation Pill from her empty pouch and fed it to Bao Yue Yongzi.
One pill, and the effect is immediate.
Her pale face began to regain its color.
However, the wound on his neck remained stubbornly erect, showing no signs of healing.
Even after Baoyue fed her a few healing pills at midnight, it still didn't work.
She was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
On the other side, Zhongli briefly repelled the self-inflicted child with a single shot.
The sniper rifle in his hand fired non-stop, unleashing a fierce barrage of fire at the self-inflicted child.
But Zhongli knew that these attacks were not very useful; at most, they could only force the self-destructive boy back for a while.
Zhongli discovered that the other party had become a superior supernatural being.
Now, Zhongli's plan is to capture and raise the boy who committed suicide.
The only option is to stall for time, allowing the Demon Coffin to remain in its eternal slumber and for the Black Prison to unleash its power.
The self-inflicted child is weakened and put into a state of slumber.
As for why they dragged things out instead of immediately leaving the Demon Coffin and waiting for the rewards?
Because Zhongli had been using his Spirit Observation Technique throughout the battle, he discovered that his opponent's new ability after advancing was Phase Shift, which allowed him to traverse space.
The current demonic coffin cannot contain the self-inflicted child.
Ultimately, it's still an incompletely activated intermediate-level magic artifact, and it falls short of expectations.
Caught off guard, the boy who had been shot several times and flown far away finally came to his senses.
Hollow, bleeding eye sockets are a sign of extreme brutality.
Then the white ribbon floated up, and the entire self-slaying child vanished in an instant.
He reappeared, already in front of Zhongli and the others, and waved his arm.
Hundreds of arms appeared around them, ready to strangle them.
Upon seeing this, Zhongli immediately grabbed the three people beside him, relying on his initial control over the demonic coffin.
Zhongli can teleport within the Black Prison.
But he couldn't run too far; otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain if he ran away and killed the boy.
He could only keep going in circles with the self-slaying boy.
But during their roundabout journey, Zhongli threw Baoyue Yexiao and Baoyue Yongzi out of the Black Prison.
Unfortunately, Takatsuki Eiko was seriously injured and unable to recover, so Takatsuki Yasho had neither the mood nor the ability to help her fight.
Now, having them around is just a burden.
Zhongli held the little bird, Tokachi, in his arms and said quickly.
"Ten Flowers, the attention of the self-reliant boy will always be on me."
Therefore, the influence of the Demon Coffin's power is ignored, right?
From the moment the battle began, Takanashi Touka kept a close eye on Zhongli's movements.
Even though Hōgetsu Eiko was seriously injured, it didn't distract her at all.
That's precisely for these crucial moments.
Therefore, Zhongli denied it immediately after asking the question, without even a second's delay.
Seeing the swift response, Zhong Li's lips curled into a slight smile.
The rapid recitation of the incantation consumed another tenth of the spiritual power, and reality was distorted once again.
The self-reliant child, who followed closely behind by teleportation, had an even more intense red light in his eyes.
As if harboring a deep-seated hatred, it kept reaching out its arms, trying to encircle and kill Zhongli and the other person.
Zhongli, who can teleport in the Black Prison, can hide with exceptional ease.
