Keyboard Immortal-Chapter 2077: Weapon of Deities

Zu An, in particular, was seriously injured. It was now a completely one-sided battle, no matter how one looked at the situation. The one saving grace was that Zu An could use the Heaven Devouring Sutra to neutralize a certain degree of his opponent’s shocking strength. Together with ‘The Book’, which warned him ahead of time, he was always able to avoid danger beforehand.

Even so, he was still constantly in danger. The Lord of Slaughter was just too strong, and The Book’s anticipation skill wasn’t omnipotent. As a comparison, if one were to play the Three Kingdoms Game as Zhuge Liang, even with the starsight skill that allowed its user to examine the tiles before playing them and even change the order of those tiles, the end result was still sometimes unavoidable.

As the saying went: It is easy to know the will of heaven; it is hard to defy the will of heaven!

Eventually, there was an instance where, after evading multiple times in quick succession, Zu An wasn’t able to dodge anymore. He was hit by one of the Lord of Slaughter’s attacks, and his body slammed straight into the nearby mountain peak.

Boom!

The landscape shook violently. Half of the majestic snowy mountain even collapsed!

The Lord of Slaughter was about to seize the moment and deliver a lethal blow when several roaring tornadoes suddenly appeared all around him. At first, they were rather small, but they quickly grew larger at a visible rate. All of the accumulated snow was swept up by the wind, covering the entire world in blinding white. At that moment, an ordinary person wouldn't even be able to see a meter ahead of them!

Zu An used the chance to crawl out of the deep crater his body had created from the impact. His clothes were in tatters, and there were three claw marks across his chest, leaving a wound so deep his bones were visible. Even his pulsing heart was vaguely visible. His body was already as tough as that of a giant dragon, and yet he was left in such a state from a single claw attack. It was easy to see just how strong the Lord of Slaughter was from that.

However, Zu An couldn't be bothered with his injuries. Instead, he quickly left his original location to avoid being attacked again. He looked at the endless snowstorm going on all around him, realizing that he had lost track of the Lord of Slaughter’s whereabouts. He frowned.

Why is the world suddenly changing like this?

He quickly expanded his divine sense to investigate the area around him, but the wind and snow seemed to be a great hindrance to his divine sense, causing its scope to be largely reduced. He was used to having a ‘panoramic map’ that covered everything around him, so he felt as if he had suddenly gone blind. He was extremely shocked and wondered if the Lord of Slaughter was also affected. If it wasn’t affected, wouldn’t he be just like a sheep awaiting slaughter?

Suddenly, he was greatly alarmed, as a sharp claw tore through the wind and snow to grab at his back. He was just about to evade when a whirlwind of snow wrapped around him and took him several kilometers away.

“Leave this place to me. You should just focus on resting,” said a voice. The wind and snow that blew over Zu An seemed to take on the Snow Lady’s cold and pure appearance.

Zu An sighed in relief. So this was something she had created! He didn’t refuse and try to push himself at such a critical juncture. The Great Snowy Mountains were the Snow Lady’s home field. Only something like this could live up to the experience he'd had in the past, back when he and Yan Xuehen were being chased.

He sat down on the ground right where he was and quickly tossed several medicines into his mouth, including some that Ji Xiaoxi had given him when he left the capital and ones he had received from Yu Yanluo a few days ago. The Second Empress had also shoved a few into his pockets. In this world, all of them were considered medicine of the highest quality. Unfortunately, he was still suffering from the rebound of using Keyboard Come. Even though these medicines were useful to some degree, the time it took for them to take effect was too slow. Perhaps he would see their healing effect if he rested for half a month or so, but how could he possibly wait that long right now?

After some hesitation, he took out a porcelain bottle. He poured all of the liquid it contained, which was overflowing with natural ki, straight into his mouth. This was the Feather Mountain spiritual springwater he had obtained from the Fiend races’ Imperial Tomb. It was rumored to even be able to revive the dead and restore flesh to white bones. It had already been used several times, and this was the last bit. Once it was used up, there would be no more.

When he thought of that, he suddenly realized something. In the end, he decided to leave a bit left in the bottom.

Shortly after, he groaned, and blood poured out from all the cracks on his body. After all, he'd eaten things that were all among the best medicines in the world. All of them had incredible healing effects. If anyone else had tried to consume them all at once, the combination of those medicines could very well have become a fatal toxin. Only someone like Zu An, who had a powerful body that had been refined several times over, could hold on and not die.

He then did his best to use his primordial ki to heal his internal injuries. Faint white light surrounded his entire body. Fortunately, the wind and snow all around him were also white in color. Otherwise, he would have been a bit worried that he would be bringing too much attention to himself.

A while later, the wound in his chest also began to move, healing at a visible rate. The fine bits of blood that had seeped out from his body because of the rebound from Keyboard Come were also gradually absorbed back into his wounds. At the same time, the cracks covering his body also started slowly healing.

Roughly an incense stick's worth of time later, Zu An opened his eyes. Even though he hadn’t completely recovered from his injuries yet, he was sixty to seventy percent there. He already had some strength to fight with. More importantly, however, the Snow Lady couldn't hold on for much longer. He could already hear her muffled groans due to her injuries.

The Lord of Slaughter’s reckless laughter echoed from within the wind and snow. “Hahah, I’ve caught you!”

With a loud noise, the wind and snow suddenly scattered. The Snow Lady fell onto the mountain. She clutched her shoulder with an expression of pain. Her left arm was gone! Judging from the scar left behind, it was obvious that the Lord of Slaughter had bitten it off. Just what kind of secret method had it used to be able to rip it off her body?

The Snow Lady’s entire body was suddenly surrounded by snowy mist. Soon after, a brand new arm appeared. Even though her face was really white to begin with, it now looked even paler. It was obvious that she was seriously injured. After regenerating her arm, she was also nearing her limit.

The Lord of Slaughter spat out a large pile of snow off to the side, grumbling, “I hate things related to snow the most.”

Anyone who had been crushed under snowy mountains as long as it had would probably hate snow this much too, after all.

“Even though it doesn’t taste good, it’s still better to kill you,” the Lord of Slaughter continued as a cruel smile appeared in its eyes. It prepared to pounce over and completely kill the Snow Lady.

Suddenly, a figure darted forth from one side, stabbing a pitch-black dagger at its eye. It was completely horrified.

Why didn’t I sense his presence at all? And he didn’t even emit the slightest bit of killing intent before he attacked! Otherwise, there’s no way I wouldn’t have detected this attack at all!

It turned out Zu An had borrowed the instant the wind and snow scattered to teleport to the Lord of Slaughter’s side. He used the Unshakable Daoist Manual to hide all of his killing intent, then used the Star Shattering Imprint to increase his power tenfold. Just in case, he used the Poisonous Prick, which was most suitable for surprise attacks. It could kill as long as it wounded its opponent!

He even accounted for the possibility that its skin’s defensive power could be too strong and that the Poisonous Prick wouldn't necessarily be able to pierce through, which was why he chose to attack the eye. Even if its skin was invulnerable, its eyes wouldn’t be that tough, right?

The Lord of Slaughter really was strong. Even against such a perfect ambush, it was still able to immediately evade to the side at the last minute. At the very least, it managed to avoid being stabbed in the eye. But how could Zu An’s full powered attack be avoided that easily? In the end, its cheek was still cut by the dagger, leaving a several-inch-long cut. Viscous green blood spilled out.

Boom!

The enemy’s thick tail smashed into Zu An’s chest, sending him almost a kilometer away! He felt as if every single bone in his body was on the verge of breaking. And yet, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

This guy was hit by the Poisonous Prick! It’s not a creature of death either... freew(e)bnovel

Sure enough, streak after streak of black profound runes appeared around the Lord of Slaughter’s wound. They quickly extended across its body. However, when they reached halfway across its body, they suddenly stopped. Then, with a crack, the black runes actually shattered!

Zu An was completely stupefied. After all, the Poisonous Prick was one of his greatest trump cards. He had managed to make a comeback through the harshest of situations precisely through relying on it. Unless the enemy was already deceased, it had never failed before. Why was it failing now?

“A trifling dagger actually holds the reaper’s curse?” the Lord of Slaughter exclaimed as it looked at the pitch-black dagger in Zu An’s hands. Its eyes narrowed.

“Why are you still fine?!” Zu An couldn't hold himself back from asking.

“I forgot to tell you that I am the most perfect weapon created by the deities. No laws can affect me,” the Lord of Slaughter said, sounding rather proud of itself. It loved destroying its opponent’s confidence like this and watching as its prey fell into absolute despair.
