Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2718
1231: Golden Badge
It was clear that a fierce battle had taken place shortly before their arrival, with the Burning Knights suffering heavy casualties.
Noticing Zaun and the fireworks approaching, the woman in white glanced back, her gaze fixed on Zaun. She felt something was amiss about him.
Seeing her distraction, the bird-headed monster bolted towards the wormhole entrance in the distant bulkhead. Already skilled in speed, he now exerted 120% of his usual strength to escape.
Just as half of his body had plunged into the wormhole, a sharp sword energy followed.
The other half remained, twitching in place, instead of surviving.
Everyone in the cabin gasped as the bird-headed monster was split in two, vertically.
The muscles on the remaining half of his body twitched, seemingly attempting to regenerate.
Unfortunately, the sword energy seemed to possess some special power, preventing his regeneration.
Instead, a grayish discoloration spread from the wound, quickly covering his entire body—no, half of it.
The half of the body seemed to melt away, quickly turning to dust and vanishing with the wind, leaving no trace behind.
Everyone in the cabin exclaimed: “…”
The white-clad woman’s sword strike was so powerful!
Wait, it seemed her sword hadn’t even been unsheathed.
The Burning Knight in the distance remained motionless, thinking to himself, “Third brother, that fool! If I could escape, wouldn’t I?”
He took the two crutches under his armpits and joined them together to form a flaming spear.
His previously crippled legs were engulfed in flames, forming new legs as he stood.
Flames erupted from his body, forming a layer of flaming armor, making him look like a great general on the battlefield.
The terrifying pressure in that instant took the breath away from most people in the cabin.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve felt the pressure of life and death. Thank you, young lady, for bringing back this thrilling feeling.” The Burning Knight, lance in hand, pointed at the white-clad woman across from him. “Fire Knight, please draw your sword!” The
white-clad woman replied calmly: “You’re not strong enough for me to draw your sword.”
The Burning Knight: “…”
Everyone else: “…”
Zuan thought to himself, Sister Yan was truly powerful!
Fireworks blinked, staring at the woman in white with admiration and envy.
The Burning Knight chuckled in anger, “Alright, I’ll see if you really don’t need to draw your sword!”
He charged at her, spear in hand, transforming into a massive Dharma image, a monstrous general in flaming armor, swinging his spear at her.
Number 9527’s face darkened. This guy knew he couldn’t escape, so he resorted to a mutually assured destruction strategy.
Regardless of the outcome, the starship couldn’t withstand such an attack. If it exploded, only a handful of people would survive.
Zaun quickly set Fireworks aside and rapidly activated the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Technique, attempting to absorb the aftermath of the two’s clash before the entire starship was destroyed.
The woman in white frowned slightly, clearly sensing the Burning Knight’s intentions.
She raised her sword slightly, flicked the hilt with a flick of her finger, and the sword unsheathed an inch.
A flash of cold light shot out, cleaving the annihilating fire warrior across the way. The Burning Knight at the center looked horrified.
Unfortunately, he had no time to react, being instantly obliterated by the cold light.
The cold light seemed to possess a mysterious power, instantly extinguishing the flames that filled the sky.
The starship, once in imminent danger, had escaped disaster.
The members of the Universal Chamber of Commerce cheered.
But then, concern returned. It was hard to tell friend from foe from the woman in white. Who knew if she would attack the others after killing the Burning Knight?
Even Zaun was nervous. With the opponent’s strength, even if he unleashed all his trump cards, he stood little chance.
Just then, the woman in white suddenly approached him, sizing him up.
Fireworks, standing nearby, couldn’t help but feel nervous. “Miss, we’re not on the same side as the Burning Knight.”
The woman in white ignored her, instead questioning Zaun with confusion, “Why do you possess the power of Chaos?”
Zaun was stunned. The power of Chaos?
What does that mean? Could it be the Taotie Heaven-Swallowing Art I just activated?
Or is it because Yan Xuehen and I often merge our bodies and souls, and I’ve succumbed to her Chaos Aura?
After observing for a moment, the woman in white shook her head slightly. “Perhaps I saw it wrong.”
Then, she walked to the spot where the Burning Knight had fallen and picked up the fallen invitation. “This ship is bound for the Dreamland, right? Can I have a room?”
Number 9527 nodded hurriedly. “Of course!”
He’d been worried she’d turn and murder the others, but to find out she’d only made such a request was a delight.
But was she making all this fuss just to snatch the Burning Knight’s invitation?
The Burning Knights and their group were rather pitiful, trying to grab the invitations of other guests, only to have them snatched away by her.
Number 9527 quickly asked Zaun for help fetching some antidotes from the warehouse. He certainly wouldn’t dare ask the woman in white to run errands.
The Universal Chamber of Commerce was equipped with some classic antidotes. While they couldn’t completely cure the Octopus Banshee’s poison, they could at least restore her mobility.
He quickly escorted the woman in white to the best room and settled her there. He had initially wanted to inquire about her background, but she was uninterested and ignored him.
He tactfully avoided further inquiries and instead arranged for several maids to wait near her room, fulfilling her every request.
He then hurried over to meet Zuan, his tone quite cordial: “Don’t blame me, brother. I just neglected you.”
Zuan smiled: “It’s okay. That girl really needs to be served well, otherwise she can destroy the entire starship with a single sword.”
No. 9527 smiled awkwardly: “I’m glad that you understand, brother. This time, thanks to you for saving us, we would have died long ago.”
Zuan waved his hand: “It was the woman in white who saved you.”
No. 9527 said seriously: “Brother, you are wrong. Before that girl arrived, if you hadn’t risked your life to save us, my colleagues and I would probably have been slaughtered by those monsters long ago. So you really saved our lives.”
“By the way, the mainstream language translator you mentioned before was originally quite expensive, but since you have done us a great favor, I will apply to give it to you for free.”
Zuan smiled: “That’s not necessary. I can speak the languages of various races now.”
“Oh, what do you mean?” Number 9527 was a little confused.
Zuan then told him that the bald man Ai Pantene originally wanted to take over his body, but failed, and the language knowledge he had studied for his whole life was inherited by him.
Number 9527’s face changed several times after hearing this: “That bald man is simply despicable and shameless. His behavior is really unworthy of the belief in wisdom.”
Zuan was more open-minded: “Every believer in the true God has good and bad, and we can’t generalize.”
“Brother Zu is really open-minded. No wonder he can own a singularity world at such a young age.” Number 9527 thought for a while, took out a golden badge from his bosom and handed it over, “Since the mainstream language translator is useless to you, please accept this. This represents the friendship of the Universal Chamber of Commerce and will only be given to those who have done great favors to the Chamber of Commerce. With this, any branch of the Chamber of Commerce in the heavens and all worlds will treat you as a guest of honor.”
