Apocalyptic Wasteland Simulator-Chapter 314 - 309: Cat and Mouse Game

The light formed a sharp spire, not only blocking all the tentacles but also swiftly decomposing and absorbing them upon contact.

"This is bad! The Evil Demon can devour my Spiritual Energy!" Lilia's expression changed drastically as she desperately tried to retract her black tentacles. At the same time, Lu Jiaojiao's attack rapidly approached.

Chen Pingchuan's figure flashed like a bolt of black lightning, instantly evading Lu Jiaojiao's fatal strike. He reappeared behind her and swung the Extremely Evil Sword. A surge of black Sword Qi, shaped like a dark crescent moon, slashed toward Lu Jiaojiao. She reacted swiftly, turning to meet the Sword Qi head-on with her blade.

BOOM! A loud explosion echoed as the Sword Qi and blade collided. The impact erupted with a powerful wave of energy, forcing Lu Jiaojiao back several steps.

Seeing this, Lilia began chanting. "Don't fight the Evil Demon head-on! Let's just stall him and let the people outside know he's here!"

Realizing she couldn't defeat Chen Pingchuan, Lilia shouted her plan aloud. Hearing this, Lu Jiaojiao immediately retreated, preparing to employ delaying tactics.

Lu Jiaojiao and Lilia stood on either side of Chen Pingchuan, watching him warily. The killing intent in their eyes was undiminished, but it was now mixed with a heavy dose of caution. Lilia's dark short sword trembled slightly in her hand, the runes on its blade flickering as if accumulating some greater power. Meanwhile, Lu Jiaojiao gripped her blade tightly, her body crouched low in a stance ready for attack or defense. A black mist swirled around her, showing signs of erupting once more.

Chen Pingchuan observed their actions, a sneer curling his lips. "Mortals are all the same, unable to distinguish illusion from reality.

"What if I told you that he is the one with the Extremely Evil Body? Would you believe me?"

Seeing their mocking glances, Chen Pingchuan frowned. "Forget it. He probably thinks he's run far enough by now. That's what makes this fun.

"The game has begun."

As he finished speaking, the light from his Demon God Battle Armor intensified. The black glow on the Extremely Evil Sword writhed like a living creature, and the surrounding air seemed to whimper, cowed by the sheer evil force. Chen Pingchuan unhurriedly plunged the Extremely Evil Sword into the ground. Suddenly, tendrils similar to the ones Lilia had just summoned surged from the earth.

Lilia snorted coldly, "Evil Demon, don't get too smug. Even if we can't kill you today, don't think you can walk out of here. Once the people outside learn of your existence, you'll have nowhere to hide."

Chen Pingchuan took a step forward, and a powerful, oppressive aura surged toward the two women like a tide. "I didn't want to kill you.

"But your minds have been blinded by darkness. I have no choice. Allow me to grant you an early release."

With that, his figure flashed like lightning and vanished. In the next instant, he appeared before Lilia, the Extremely Evil Sword stabbing toward her with destructive momentum. Lilia's face paled, and she hastily swung her dark short sword to block.

The two blades clashed with a harsh, grinding sound. Innumerable strands of black energy raced along the blade toward Lilia at an astonishing speed.

Noticing Lilia's predicament, Lu Jiaojiao didn't hesitate. She charged at Chen Pingchuan from the side, aiming her blade at his waist. Chen Pingchuan sensed the attack but didn't dodge, allowing the blade to strike him.

Just as the blade was about to pierce his body, a layer of hard, black scales materialized on the Demon God Battle Armor. The blade struck the scales, creating only a shower of sparks and failing to inflict any damage. Meanwhile, Lilia tried to withdraw her sword, but the blades were locked together, impossible to move even an inch. She then thought of abandoning her weapon, but her hand felt as if it were glued to the hilt, refusing to let go.

"Want to leave? Fine, I'll send you on your way," Chen Pingchuan said with a smirk, actively disengaging the Extremely Evil Sword's suction-like grip.

Just as Lilia felt the force binding her sword vanish and was about to retreat to formulate a new plan, a black longsword pierced through her chest, its tip appearing before her eyes. She was skewered like meat and lifted high into the air by Chen Pingchuan. Thanks to her abundant energy reserves, death was not immediate.

Not far away, however, Lu Jiaojiao was suddenly overcome with confusion.

Can I really contend with such a terrifying Evil God?

At that moment, her overwhelming will to survive suppressed the dark energy that had been binding and influencing her, granting her a brief moment of clarity.

What am I doing? It doesn't matter who comes out on top. I just need to stay alive.

At this thought, a flash of determination appeared in Lu Jiaojiao's eyes. She ignored Lilia, turned, and fled into the distance. She knew that with her current strength, staying any longer meant certain death.

Chen Pingchuan watched Lu Jiaojiao's retreating back with a cold, disdainful smile, making no move to pursue her. He returned his gaze to Lilia, who was still impaled high on his sword. "Look at that," he taunted. "Your so-called companion runs faster than anyone when it matters most."

Lilia's eyes burned with anger and defiance. She gritted her teeth and spat, "Evil Demon, you won't win! Even if I die, someone will come to deal with you!"

Chen Pingchuan laughed heartily. "By you ants, who are being played like puppets by the Extremely Evil Body?

"Ridiculous."

With those words, he applied a bit of force. The dark power from the black longsword surged into Lilia's body like a vicious undercurrent, eroding her life force. Lilia screamed in agony, her body twisting and struggling, but she couldn't break free from the evil power's grasp. Her life force was fading rapidly, and her once-bright eyes gradually grew dull and lifeless.

Just as Lilia was about to draw her last breath, Chen Pingchuan abruptly withdrew the sword. Her body fell to the ground like a rag doll.

"Killing you is no fun," he said, not caring whether Lilia would survive. "Go. Bring more people to face me. I've suddenly found my path to godhood."

His figure then flashed, transforming into a streak of black light as he chased after Dark Chen Pingchuan.

By this time, Dark Chen Pingchuan had already left the island and was flying swiftly over the boundless ocean. He had no idea if the two women had managed to delay Chen Pingchuan. As for finding this world's powerful experts to deal with his pursuer? That was a ridiculous idea. He himself was no saint. If anyone learned of his origins, he'd be the first one to go, long before Chen Pingchuan was dealt with.

As he contemplated his future, a terrifying aura erupted behind him.
