Chapter 359: Ultimate Weapon! Converge!
Xu Yi's eyes instantly turned crimson as he pulled the "Lust" recurve knife from Tomie Kawakami's chest, the knife now fully charged, its blade trembling.
He roared and lunged forward, with only one thought in his mind, he absolutely couldn't let Lisa get hurt.
Though already terribly weak, he somehow mustered the strength for one more push, pushing his speed to its absolute limit as he violently collided with Black Carp, who flew away like he had been struck by a battering ram.
Xu Yi couldn't possibly choose to crash into Lisa, so unfortunately, it had to be Black Carp.
Black-green flames appeared out of nowhere, Xu Yi had no time to react before he was engulfed by them.
He shuddered violently; those flames had no heat, but instead carried a bone-chilling cold that seemed to freeze his very soul.
Strangely enough, the flesh on his body's surface was dissipating.
"Merge!" Xu Yi took a deep breath and silently chanted in his heart.
The Alchemical Weapon "Seven Deadly Sins" suddenly began to quiver intensely, even the "Envy" katana in Carrie's hands.
A black-gold film covered Xu Yi's body, shielding him from those terrifying black-green flames and giving him a temporary respite from the cold, restoring his mobility.
He gripped the "Lust" recurve knife tightly in his hand and, drawn by the knife, leaped into the air, lunging towards the "Vines Eye."
Lisa had narrowly escaped disaster, but she wasn't out of danger yet; someone had to draw the attention of the "Vines Eye," or those horrifying flames would fall upon her.
"Xu Yi!" Lisa cried out in anguish and fury.
She thought Xu Yi was preparing to sacrifice himself to give her a chance to escape, she wanted to rush over, but Black Carp firmly bit onto the hem of her dress.
She suddenly calmed down, because Xu Yi gave her an "OK" gesture, and from what she knew of Xu Yi, if he was truly ready to face death, that wouldn't be his reaction.
The Lizard Dragon watched the scene with cold indifference.
Even a seed of the World Tree in decline was not something these people could resolve; at its peak, even the Divine King had to bow before it.
For the Lizard Dragon, Xu Yi's calm demeanor was nothing but a brave front, a desperate fight of a cornered beast.
But he soon realized that something was amiss, not because of Xu Yi, but due to the streaks of light traveling through the air, each carrying a dark gold weapon.
The "Seven Deadly Sins" circled around Xu Yi as if guarding their king, Xu Yi stared emotionlessly at the Vines Eye so close to him.
The Vines Eye felt provoked by Xu Yi, and surges of flame materialized out of the void, coalescing into a hideous clawed hand.
In front of the immense flame hand, Xu Yi felt like an ant facing a human hand.
He was grabbed roughly, as the flames continued to squeeze inward, the black-gold membrane on the brink of failure.
The "Lust" recurve knife emitted a clear resonance, and a light brown shield emerged from within the knife; he held it up and forced his way through the flames ahead.
He was now very close to the Vines Eye, towering vines swept towards him, and he drove the recurve knife into the vines with force.
Great swathes of vines disintegrated like moths to a flame, but more vines came sweeping forward, snagging the recurve knife away.
Xu Yi ignored this, his body falling downward as he casually seized the "Wrath" katana beside him, allowing the katana to carry him up again.
He reached the core of the pupil, the Crow Man now within reach, but he was already enveloped by the onslaught of vines.
No place left to dodge, Xu Yi grasped the "Gluttony" dagger in his left hand and hurled it at the Crow Man.
The dagger's Soul Seal ability activated, unleashing a powerful suction force, but before the dagger could reach the Crow Man, it too was swept away by the vines.
Not just the "Gluttony" dagger, the surrounding "Pride" katana, "Sloth" spear, "Envy" knight's sword, and "Greed" foiled sword were all tightly entangled by the vines.
The Crow Man seemed to have regained a bit of his consciousness, and as he looked at Xu Yi so close at hand, a flash of satisfaction passed through his pupils.
Unfortunately, he could not see even a hint of panic on Xu Yi's face.
Xu Yi formed a hand seal with his left hand, and the remnants of the Crow Man's rationality made him wonder, could the opponent be about to use some Eastern European secret technique?
There was a special sect in that place that used hand seals to wield their abilities.
He saw a mocking smile on Xu Yi's face and suddenly realized that it was not a hand seal at all, but a thumbs-down gesture of contempt.
The Crow Man flew into a rage, and he was determined to make the other party pay the price.
But the surging vines suddenly couldn't advance any further; the weapons entwined by the vines started to tremble violently, erupting in a splendid black and gold light. The lights interconnected, forming a huge array in mid-air.
The Seven Deadly Sins Array!
The Crow Man was enveloped in the array, feeling as if a Divine Mountain was crashing down on him, ready to crush him into dust.
"Is... is this all your capability?" The Crow Man's voice trembled weakly.
Logically speaking, his sanity was about to dissipate, but even in such a state, he still wanted to mock Xu Yi, which showed how deep his hatred for Xu Yi was.
Suddenly, the Crow Man opened his mouth, and a dense black light surged out, with the half-decayed World Tree seed at the center of the light, which had almost turned completely black at this moment.
The black light swept over, and the light screen of the Seven Deadly Sins Array cracked, resembling shattered glass, with fissures spreading continuously.
Xu Yi smiled and chose not to retort.
He was always a little more generous towards those about to die.
The Seven Deadly Sins Array was just the prelude to integration, the real show was yet to come.
"Ultimate Weapon! Condense!"
Xu Yi shouted in his heart.
The seven alchemical weapons trembled in unison, the sounds they emitted forming a rousing tune. If this tune had a name, it would be called "Judgment!"
The "Ire" katana broke free from Xu Yi's hands and flew into the air, with the other alchemical weapons flying towards the same point.
All seven weapons emitted a rich light, colliding like six meteors, but there was no explosion, no earth-shattering noise, just light—a brightly shining, extreme golden light.
The light slowly faded, and the seven alchemical weapons disappeared, leaving only a strangely shaped long knife quietly floating in the air.
It was a knife, exceptionally thin and long, shaped like a willow leaf.
Various patterns emerged on the blade—waterflow, lightning, vines... They intertwined densely, forming some kind of profound text.
Even though the Crow Man felt no energy from the knife, he involuntarily trembled slightly.
With a thought from Xu Yi, the long knife automatically flew up in front of him.
He took a deep breath and reached out to grasp the "Ultimate Weapon" before him.
The reason the Ultimate Weapon took the form of a long knife was that the weapon he was adept at using was a long knife; the Ultimate Weapon would transform into different weapon forms depending on the abilities of its host.
"What a dangerous man!"
West, noticing the situation above, couldn't help but exclaim.
He had a premonition that the weapon in Xu Yi's hand could completely kill him.
