Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2714

1227: Near Death

The bird-headed monster chuckled at this and said, “We’re not exactly gentlemen, so of course we believe in the winner taking all. We

‘re nothing like those pedantic people who ignore their enemies’ weaknesses and insist on attacking their strengths.” Fireworks was speechless for a moment. In reality, in many places across the universe, strength reigns supreme, and the winner takes all. The other party’s argument wasn’t entirely flawed.

Still, she was angry that these guys were using her to threaten Zuan.

The bird-headed monster couldn’t help but laugh. “That look of disgust, that look. You must keep it. When I play with you later, keep staring at me like that.”

Fireworks: “…”

Everyone else: “…”

The fat man also grew annoyed. “Stop your rambling! If you keep doing that, I’ll cut you off!”

The bird-headed monster felt a chill run down his spine. He knew his fourth brother, this fool, was capable of such a thing.

Zuan, seizing the moment of his distraction, broke free from the two men’s encirclement, circled behind the bird-headed monster, and unleashed a Hundred Cries mental attack.

The bird-headed monster felt a sharp pain in his head and screamed, desperately trying to dodge to the side, but unfortunately, he was too slow.

Zaun’s sword stabbed at the back of his neck.

“How dare you!” The Burning Knight, who had been flanking nearby, wouldn’t give him another chance to kill his comrade. He had already drawn his flaming spear.

Fearing that the comrade would use his teleportation ability again, he hesitated to aim for his vitals, lest he accidentally pierce his comrade.

However, the spear was enough to entangle the comrade’s sword, and the three brothers, surrounded and attacked, were enough to kill him instantly.

“What are you looking at?”

“What do you mean by looking at you?”

The question and answer in the cabin stunned everyone, truly surprised by the two of them engaging in such a double act.

The Burning Knight was also confused. He had no idea why he would respond at such a critical moment, so he paused, and was a little slow to save his third brother.

“Oh no!”

But he immediately saw the fourth brother rushing forward, wielding a pair of shears, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although the comrade had stopped him for a moment, he couldn’t stop the fourth brother anymore.

The fourth brother was enough to save the third brother, and in the next second he could completely close the encirclement and kill him.

“Be careful of his word skills!”

Worried that his words wouldn’t carry through too slowly, the Burning Knight used his powerful mental power to warn the brothers.

The fat man nodded. Now he only needed to save the third brother, and once the eldest brother arrived, they would be invincible.

But the next moment, he suddenly lost sight of him, and his eldest brother’s urgent voice echoed in his mind: “Be careful!”

His alarm surged, and he quickly swung his scissors back on the defensive, expecting the enemy to use the fatal dagger.

However, his leather armor, a treasure trove forged through 9981 sheddings, was incredibly thick. Even if the enemy’s entire dagger pierced through, it wouldn’t injure him at all.

He could use that split second to cut his head off with the scissors. Even if the enemy reacted quickly, at least one arm would be left.

But the next moment, he was stunned. The enemy didn’t use the fatal dagger, but continued to use the longsword.

He had just tried to save the third brother, but had to retreat to the defensive, and this misjudgment had finally left him vulnerable.

Before he could close his scissors, a longsword pierced through the gap.

Puff!

A cloud of bloody mist erupted, but almost instantly, it transformed into a frost flower.

The Snowflake Sword, combined with the power of the Snow Phoenix!

Coupled with Zuan’s frequent and in-depth discussions with Yan Xuehen in recent days, he had fully grasped the true meaning of frost. This single strike instantly froze him completely.

The next moment, a raging fire engulfed him. The Burning Knight had finally arrived, controlling the intensity of his flames perfectly, thawing him without causing any secondary damage.

The portly man gasped for air, his body already soaked through. He had literally walked through the gates of death.

Although his eldest brother arrived in time to rescue him, the sword energy and the biting frost had penetrated his body. Fortunately, his primordial leather armor protected him, saving his life.

But he was completely depleted of his fighting ability.

Meanwhile, Zuan, clutching the fireworks, leaped and fled the warehouse.

It turned out that he had deliberately inflicted heavy damage on the fat man, then held back, allowing the Burning Knight to concentrate on rescuing him and giving him a chance to escape.

He had originally chosen to target the bird-headed monster, but ultimately abandoned the idea.

If he pretended to kill the fat man, given the bird-headed monster’s despicable nature, it might even be pleased to see him succeed and not come to his rescue.

On the other hand, if he pretended to kill the bird-headed monster, the fat man would devote all his strength to the rescue, allowing him to execute the chain of events he had just done, securing a chance of survival.

The Burning Knight was furious—physically speaking—at this sight.

He had never expected that, despite his overwhelming advantage, the enemy would kill one man, injure another, and even escape.

“Brother, that kid actually managed to break through your spatial barrier! He seems quite skilled in spatial magic!” the bird-headed monster exclaimed.

“Shut up, I can see it.” The flames in the Burning Knight’s eyes flickered a few times, but then he smiled. “But this actually makes me more interested. The more secrets he has, the more we’ll gain. This is a vast universe, and he hasn’t reached the level of traversing the stars. Even if he escapes temporarily, where can he go?”

“Great idea, Boss!” the bird-headed monster flattered him.

The Burning Knight said in a deep voice, “You stay here to watch over the fourth one. Tie up the others, and I’ll go after him.”

The bird-headed monster was startled: “Boss, that kid is as cunning as a ghost…”

The Burning Knight’s eyes coldly said: “You think I can’t beat him?”

“Of course not, Boss, it’s easy to catch him,” the bird-headed monster said with a smile.

The Burning Knight snorted coldly, and the wheelchair in his hand, like a galloping horse, swiftly caught up.

After several exchanges, he had clearly seen that the boy’s actual strength was far inferior to his own, but some of his random skills were quite amazing.

In his previous failures, his companions hadn’t helped him, but had been affected by his magical abilities, becoming obstacles.

Now, he had deliberately left the fourth brother behind to deal with him alone, to see what tricks he could come up with.

Zaun, holding Fireworks, raced through the cabin, searching for the escape pods mentioned by Number 9527.

Fireworks’ eyes sparkled in his embrace, “Big Brother, you’re amazing! Your series of schemes just now really made a fool of those ugly guys.”

How could she not see the incredible combat acumen required to pull off all that in such a split second?

“It was just a trick. They’ve been tricked twice, so it’ll be even harder to deal with them next time,” Zuan replied, suddenly hearing a faint groaning sound from nearby.

He flung open a door and saw the bald Ai Piaorou sitting in a corner, barely breathing.

His once transparent body now had a large hole in its chest, and blue blood covered it all.

“Bald brother, what’s wrong with you?” Zuan was shocked. No wonder he hadn’t been seen during the commotion of the previous battle.
