Chapter 687 Armistice And Tacit Understanding

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

"Pu!"

The fist struck his chest fiercely, and his sternum cracked under the impact of the force. A large mouthful of blood sprayed out of Catu's mouth again.

There was still a strange fragrance floating in the air, but Cato's eyes were much clearer now.

After discovering that his condition wasn't right, he displayed a series of exceptionally decisive performances. Without the slightest hesitation, the first successor of Atlas chose to bleed him.

A few punches landed on his chest, and he spat out large mouthfuls of blood. Gaztu's spirits instantly became much more relaxed.

However, his mind had been liberated, but his body was under tremendous pressure. During the intense battle, Xuanyuan Qinghuan had not caused him much damage. However, Jia Tu's heavy punches had caused him serious injuries. In terms of the severity of his injuries, the injuries on his body were not much worse than Xuanyuan Qinghuan's.

What made Jia Tu furious and resentful was that after paying the price of serious injuries, the effects of the confusion medicine were only temporarily suppressed. As long as Xuanyuan Qinghuan was still in front of him, as long as the faint fragrance in the air was still evaporating, his emotions filled with desire would definitely become more and more intense with the passage of time.

From childhood to adulthood, Cato had never suffered such a huge loss.

"Bitch!"

Cato gritted his teeth and scolded. At this moment, his face turned pale, and his entire body seemed to have become somewhat weak. Under such circumstances, it was already very difficult for him to determine what kind of price he would have to pay to take down this woman in front of him.

Yes, take it, not kill it.

Even now, Jia Tu was still thinking of possessing Xuanyuan Qinghuan, not killing her.

Perhaps the Confusion Potion was playing a role, but this thought was more indicative of Jia Tu's attitude towards Xuanyuan Qinghuan.

In Jia Tu's heart, if Xuanyuan Qinghuan was originally a woman that could be killed or not, then even if the effects of the Confusion Potion were heaven-defying, it was impossible to stimulate Jia Tu to such an extent.

He truly wanted to conquer this woman. This desire was so intense that it was completely exposed under the stimulation of the Confusion Potion, and even affected his battle process.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this? I have to say, you did take advantage of me, but it's useless. Even now, you're no match for me. Bitch, come on, kill me!"

Jia Tu sneered. There was no point in regretting anything. Furthermore, Jia Tu did not feel that he had anything to regret. It was just that this woman had set him up. This outcome only strengthened Jia Tu's determination to capture Xuanyuan Qinghuan alive and completely conquer her.

"Tick …"

Blood slowly flowed from the tiger's mouth and dripped onto the ground along the edge of the sword. Xuanyuan Qinghuan's pale face was so cold that there wasn't the slightest emotion fluctuation. She slowly took a step forward and said indifferently, "I really can't kill you, but at least I can guarantee that you won't have the strength to deal with anyone else after the battle with me. For me, that's enough."

"You can't!"

Cato roared, his expression ferocious and irritable.

"I don't think so."

Xuanyuan Qinghuan's body rushed towards Jia Tu as he spoke, and the tip of the sword stabbed straight into his heart.

"Bitch!!!"

Gaztu roared angrily as he tightly gripped the Underworld King Umbrella in the shape of a short saber with both of his hands and fiercely chopped at the edge of the fishing sword by the river.

Dang!

The swords collided again. Xuanyuan Qinghuan held the sword in both hands and pushed down with all her might. At the same time, she kicked out and directly kicked Gatu in the abdomen.

With a dull sound, Cato's body did not move. He forcefully withstood this kick, and crimson blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. In pain, Cato's expression became even more ferocious and terrifying. "This injury is not enough for me to lose my fighting strength."

"Fuck off!"

Jia Tu roared angrily. His saber-wielding hands trembled with all his might, and he directly put away the longsword in Xuanyuan Qinghuan's hand. With a brush, the Underworld King Umbrella immediately transformed into the shape of a longsaber. The blade swept across, and a strong wind whistled.

The effects of the Confusion Potion were still in full play. Although the effects had been forcefully suppressed to the lowest point by Cato, if he continued to face this woman and smell the special fragrance on her body, the medicinal effects would sooner or later erupt completely. Therefore, the most urgent thing was to defeat this woman as soon as possible and go all out. Even if he had to pay the price of serious injury, he would still have to leave this battlefield.

He still has several Atlas gene potions that are useless, Even though he had paid a higher price than he had expected in defeating Xuanyuan Qinghuan, However, as long as he wasn't dead, he could still rely on the potion to continue recovering his combat strength. As long as he defeated Xuanyuan Qinghuan and didn't let her appear in front of him, then the Confusion Potion wouldn't have any effect on him. At that time, he would definitely be able to give the royal family a big surprise after temporarily recovering to his peak state.

Jia Tu's eyes were cold and blazing. He had already made up his mind. He directly burst out with his maximum strength. His tremendous strength had even vaguely surpassed his current body's endurance. His injuries instantly became even more serious, but the overdrawn body's incredible fighting strength instantly suppressed Xuanyuan Qinghuan.

Cato strode forward.

He raised his saber with both hands and slashed down again.

"Cato, be careful!"

The moment Cato's aura reached its peak, Earlaen's anxious voice suddenly rang out from his communication headset, "Wang Fuyu is coming for you. Be careful!"

Wang Fuyu?

Cato's movements paused, and he was stunned almost instinctively.

Why did Wang Fuyu appear here? Isn't he upstairs? Now that he had come down, could it be that he had regained his fighting strength? How did he recover?

A series of questions subconsciously popped up in his mind. Before Gazzetta could figure out the answer, a loud boom rang out from behind him.

"Boom!"

Less than two meters behind Cato, the walls of the ward instantly shattered, and large amounts of stone bars flew out. A figure smashed into the wall from another ward, as if a heavenly deity had descended from the mortal world.

Before Catu could scream, his body was immediately drowned by a large number of stones.

"Retreat! Retreat! Atlas, evacuate the building!"

Inside the headphones, Earlaen 's desperate roar sounded, carrying a strong sense of unwillingness and extreme anger, but his determination to retreat was extremely firm.

Wang Fuyu's meeting with Xuanyuan Qinghuan directly cancelled all of Earlaen's plans.

Jia Tu was not an invincible figure. Faced with the combined attacks of Xuanyuan Qinghuan and Wang Fuyu, it was impossible for him to last for too long. No matter how delicate Earlaen's plan was, he was unwilling to use his son as a bargaining chip. Therefore, no matter how unwilling he was, Earlaen could only choose to swallow this bitter fruit and retreat!

Before the war began, Earlaen would never have thought that the outcome of this war would turn out like this even if he died, Atlas suffered heavy losses, and the Paladin Clan was almost annihilated. However, after paying such a price, the loss of the royal family was far less severe than expected. This was a complete failure, even the biggest failure of Earlaen 's life.

But now that things had come to this point, he could not help but retreat!

Cato was his only son and the future owner of Atlas. No matter how courageous Earlaen was, he could not watch as his son sacrificed himself.

"Retreat!"

Earlaen roared again, and then, Cato's figure was drowned by the rocks that fell from the sky.

Wang Fuyu's body rushed over from behind the stone. He looked at Xuanyuan Qinghuan, who had a somewhat surprised expression, and raised his eyebrows slightly. "Are you still able to hold on?"

"No problem."

Xuanyuan Qinghuan nodded and said with a stubborn expression.

"Alright, let's retreat."

Wang Fuyu said without hesitation. He didn't even look at Cato, who was drowned by the stone.

"You're not going to kill him?"

Xuanyuan Qinghuan said in surprise. With Jia Tu's body's endurance, it was impossible for him to die under a rock. It didn't take long for the two of them to work together to kill Jia Tu.

"There's no time left. Hurry up and leave. I'm not in the right condition. Xuanyuan has already taken the gene potion. Chen Fengxiao and Qin Tianjiao are seriously injured and unconscious. Liu-Li is almost unable to hold on. Leave immediately. We can't waste any time."

Wang Fuyu said quickly. As he spoke, his body had already walked towards the door of the ward.

That's right, his current state is indeed not right.

Although on the battlefield now, As a World-shaking Sovereign, He looks at his best, He didn't even have a slight injury, but he knew very well that his combat strength had recovered very strangely. Moreover, as time passed, his physical strength seemed to be in a state of double exhaustion. According to his estimation, his physical strength would probably be completely exhausted in less than two hours.

The main strategic objective of today's war was to rescue Atlas, not to consume Atlas. Thus, although Wang Fuyu and Xuanyuan Qinghuan could quickly kill Catu with their joint efforts, no one was willing to waste this little time.

Since the rescue goal had been achieved, it was time to retreat. Greed and advancement were rookies' manifestations.

At the same time, on the battlefield in the hall, following Earlaen's roar, his entire body flashed backwards. This flash took seven to eight meters to stop.

Lin Xuanyuan hesitated for a moment before finally standing where he was and not pursuing.

Earlaen stared at Lin Xuanyuan, gritted his teeth, and began to retreat slowly.

All of Atlas' X-class experts also began to move towards the staircase entrance.

"If you can walk, you can all walk, but you have to walk slower."

Lin Xuanyuan narrowed his eyes and smiled. As he spoke, both sides stopped attacking each other. However, the gazes they looked at each other were still filled with the aura of tigers eyeing each other covetously.

Now, it was meaningless to continue fighting.

The royal family did have the upper hand. If everyone was prepared to die at any cost, Atlas would be completely annihilated in today's battle.

But after it was exterminated?

Even if there were still people who survived, this was still the home ground of the United States. There were still tens of thousands of American troops outside, and even if they destroyed Atlas, they would not be able to leave.

Their mission today was to rescue them, After finding Wang Fuyu, even if he had achieved his initial strategic intent, At this time, regardless of who was stronger or weaker than Atlas, the first thing they needed was to retreat. After today's battle, the royal family's strength could already suppress Atlas. There was no need for them to perish with Atlas here. As long as they left the United States alive, this would be their greatest victory.

Earlaen naturally didn't want to fight anymore.

Their strength was already at a disadvantage. If they continued to fight, the chances of turning the tables would become smaller and smaller. He had to consider preserving Atlas's strength. At the very least, in this building, continuing to fight with the royal family was the stupidest choice.

Therefore, if they wanted to retreat, they had to retreat together.

However, once they arrived outside the building, the situation would immediately change. No matter what, Earlaen would not let Lin Xuanyuan and the others off. The large number of rice troops outside the building had become their greatest reliance, and the war would start again outside the building. However, at that time, the royal family's choice would not be to fight, but to break out of the encirclement.

Both sides knew that the current stoppage was temporary. Once it was not for the building, Earlaen would immediately turn hostile. Earlaen also knew that the royal family would not stay and fight. Instead, they would use all their strength to break out of the encirclement. However, even if they understood the intentions of both sides, they did not have much choice now.

Fighting to the end here?

For Earlaen, Such a choice would be tantamount to increasing the consumption of one's own strength, What will happen in the end, It's hard to say, Even he himself would die here, Even if he didn't die in the end, Cato would definitely not be able to protect him. At that time, Atlas would lose his successor and all his ambitions would be meaningless. In this case, the more complete his strength was, the more helpful it would be to the future. Furthermore, the more complete his strength was, the more Atlas would be of significance to the United States.

As for Lin Xuanyuan, killing more Atlas masters here might relieve the pressure on him, but they didn't have time now.

The genetic potion was consuming its medicinal effects when it came into effect. The more intense the battle, the greater the consumption. They might be able to kill a few more X-class experts here, but after they left, they would most likely exhaust their physical strength during the process of breaking through. Therefore, they had to retreat as soon as they found Wang Fuyu.

Right now, the most important thing the royal family needed to do was to break out of the

The most important thing Atlas needed to do was to preserve his strength.

Therefore, even if they both knew each other's plans, at least now, both sides had a reason and tacit understanding for the truce.
