Last Totem Novel - Chapter 53

Chapter 53 On the Verge of Death
After the Silver City Guards left, Tie Zha returned to his stronghold and lay idle on the beach chair in a daze. He has nothing to do in winter and often stays like this all day. At this time, Ye Xinling came out of the container bedroom and waved the poker cards in her hand, asking Tie Zha to play with her.

Tie Zha grinned and asked her, “What are you playing with?”

“Play … Play double solitaire, I want to win back.” Ye Xinling raised her sharp chin and said unwillingly.

The method of playing double solitaire was to remove the big ghost and the little ghost from a deck of poker cards, and then each of them would have seven cards, connecting four big dragons according to the size of the deck and the color of the suit. The person who is unable to play a card in each round must find one in the pile of cards. Whoever finishes the card in his hand first will win. This kind of play has both luck and calculations.

Although Tie Zha hadn’t read much, he had a good memory and a clear mind. Almost every time, Ye Xinling would be able to guess the cards in her hand, and then she would be plotted to the death until she was humiliated and defeated.

Ye Xinling remembered that when she first played cards, she still wanted to let the little master play. However, when she played, she discovered that this seemingly serious little master was so cunning that it made her speechless. He would never let go of any chance that he could card someone. He even intentionally or unintentionally said some provocative words to disturb the minds of others …

“What if we lose?” Iron slag asked.

“Master, do what you want.” Ye Xinling said provocatively.

Just as Tie Zha was about to tease her, he suddenly sensed a faint chirp coming from behind him. This is the noise generated by high-pressure gas injection. In an instant, an extremely dangerous feeling surged into his heart, and he suddenly turned around. At some point, three uninvited guests wearing full armor had appeared on the walls of the stronghold!

Before he could see their faces clearly, the girl in light yellow armor pointed at him and said, “Kill!”

With a clear voice, the two red-armored warriors leapt into the air! At the same time, a powerful airflow shot out from their backs, attacking Tie Zha like lightning! Tie Zha only had time to cover his head and chest with both hands when he felt an irresistible force crashing down on his arm. Amidst the ear-piercing sound of bones cracking, his body flew backwards like a cannonball, fiercely smashing into a container not far away, causing the iron sheet to caved in.

Tie Zha, who had just landed, struggled to get up and coughed out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably.

At this life-threatening moment, he instinctively grew a thick shell. However, his left arm had been fractured and the muscles on his forearm had been severely bruised. In that instant, he had already lost more than half of his combat strength.

Although he didn’t know who the other party was and why he attacked him, all of this was meaningless now. Only fighting was the only choice! He staggered to his feet, pulled out a slightly deformed straight machete, and barely put on a battle posture.

A red-armored warrior in the front looked at Tie Zha with a look of approval on his face. Then, he reached out to block his companion who was about to step forward and said, “It’s a tough guy. Give him a decent way to die.”

The red-armored warrior nodded his head and walked step by step in front of Tie Zha, putting on a fighting posture. With a loud shout, blue light suddenly appeared in the cracks of the red armor, and it gradually lit up his entire body like a series of flowing meridians. Immediately after, blue light gathered on his right arm, becoming more and more dazzling …

At this moment of life and death, familiar faces flashed through Tie Zha’s mind. He seemed to have seen Old Man Tie and Lena …

At this moment, a familiar and unfamiliar face appeared in front of him. He fixed his eyes and saw that it was not an illusion, but Ye Xinling! Just as the red-armored warrior gathered all of his psionic energy and launched a fatal blow at Tie Zha, Ye Xinling rushed forward and blocked it with her body.

The red-armored warrior forcefully stopped his attack, turned his head to look at the girl high up in the sky, and then shrugged his shoulders. After all, their target was only Tie Zha, and they didn’t want to hurt the innocent.

The girl in light yellow armor snorted coldly and looked at the iron slag. “Do you only know how to hide behind women?” She asked.

“Who are you?” Iron slag asked.

“The person who killed you.” The young girl’s answer was very simple and also very arrogant.

“Reason?” “There’s no reason.” “Are you from Notre Dame?” Tie Zha looked at the golden cross on the girl’s chest and asked.

“Yes.” The girl nodded and then asked, “Are you going to hide behind the woman all the time?”

Tie Zha did not say anything else, but gently pushed away Ye Xinling who was standing in front of him. However, Ye Xinling refused to move aside stubbornly. Tie Zha frowned and said indifferently, “We are just subordinates. You don’t need to do this.”

These words were like a knife that pierced the heart, causing Ye Xinling to lose all her strength from the pain.

It turned out that in his eyes, she was just a subordinate …

Perhaps he didn’t want to implicate her, but such words were telling her clearly, “We don’t have to live and die together.”

Beyond the dazed Ye Xinling, the iron slag staggered to the open space of the stronghold and once again put on a battle posture.

This time, the red-armored warrior no longer gathered his psionic energy. Instead, he drew out his sword from his waist and stabbed it straight at him! He didn’t want to sleep too long, he just wanted to finish the task as soon as possible.

Tie Zha stood there motionlessly, as if he had lost the power to resist, allowing the sharp sword to charge straight in and out of his chest!

But at this moment, Tie Zha suddenly raised his hand, and a Merlin revolver appeared in his hand.

The red-armored warrior stared at the black muzzle with his eyes wide open. At such a close distance, he simply did not have time to dodge …

In the next instant, he could only hear “Bang!” With a loud explosion, the red-armored warrior was sent flying with his sword. Blood sprayed out of Tie Zha’s chest, but he grinned as if it was not his blood, but the other party’s blood.

Even if he were to die, he would still have to pull a cushion on his back.

However, the red-armored warrior who was blasted flying quickly got up. Although half of his face was pitch-black, he was not physically harmed. The moment Tie Zha pulled the trigger, he barely turned his face and let the bullet hit his helmet. Thanks to the powerful defensive ability of the Psionic Power Armor, he only stunned for a few seconds before recovering.

He felt a chill run down his spine even though he was in danger. His opponent’s fighting style of perishing together truly made him endlessly afraid. Just now, as long as he tilted his head a little further, his head would have already turned into a pile of paste.

The other red-armored warrior saw that his companion was injured, so he immediately removed the psionic rifle from his back and fired!

“Bang!” With a muffled sound, a psionic armor piercing projectile echoed out!

In an instant, a bright red flower bloomed on Tie Zha’s chest. The warm blood sprayed everywhere, and his body was like a kite with a broken string, rising with the wind and finally falling powerlessly into the dust …

Ye Xinling stared blankly at the scene in front of her, as if everything was so unreal. The person who was just playing around and looking forward to the future was lying there motionlessly. It was only at this moment that she truly felt that she was so tiny that she could not catch anything.

The red-armored warrior held his gun and carefully moved to Tie Zha’s side. He lowered his head to take a look and couldn’t help but sigh, “He’s actually not dead yet. He’s really tough!” With that, he lowered the muzzle of his gun and prepared to take another shot.

Suddenly, amidst the dancing snowflakes in the sky, a cold light struck his face!

His pupils dilated sharply, and he used all of his strength to tilt his body between life and death, avoiding the vital points. A sharp pain came from his shoulder. He looked sideways and saw that it was actually a black pen! The tip of the pen pierced through the incomparably tough Twilight Armor and was deeply nailed into his bones!

He hurriedly retreated. Such strength and speed were not something a red-robed warrior like him could contend against.

Immediately after, a black figure flashed in the snow and appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. The black figure rotated its body, as if it had sucked in all the snowflakes beside it. In his shock, the black shadow suddenly threw out a kick!

The girl’s expression changed slightly. With a muffled sound of broken bones and broken flesh, the red-robed warrior flew out like a football, crossing the high fence and landing outside the stronghold.

The yellow-armored girl tightened her body and let out a low shout. Suddenly, a blue light appeared on her body. Although she had condensed her strength, she still maintained her original posture. Facing such an expert, she could only put on a defensive posture. However, she was the Shadow Priest of the Divine Hall of Prayer for Rain, a core member of Notre Dame. She firmly believed that not many people in this world dared to hurt her.

“Who are you? How dare you hurt Rain God’s attendant!” The young girl shouted. Afterwards, she saw clearly the appearance of the person who came. It was a tall and plump woman with a charming appearance. She wore a dark green military uniform, white gloves, and tall leather boots. Her slender eyes were looking at her angrily, and her entire body emitted a deadly aura.

‘”Before I change my mind …” Lena’s eyes widened, and she suddenly raised her voice, shouting like thunder, “Get lost immediately!”

The yellow-armored girl exchanged glances with her and waved her hand. The remaining red-armored warrior immediately jumped out of the fence, and the yellow-armored girl also jumped down and left the stronghold.

After the people from Notre Dame left, Lena picked up the dying Tie Zha and said to Ye Xinling, “Watch this place. I’ll take him to the hospital.”

“Master … is Master seriously injured?” Ye Xinling asked.

“He is an insect-shaped human. His vitality is stronger than that of ordinary humans. There should be a way to save him.” With that, Lena leapt over the fence with Tie Zha in her arms and charged straight towards Tieshan Town.

Half an hour ago, God Representative Lena remembered that she was going to visit the stronghold in the dwarf mountain and handed the letter she had received in the morning to Iron Cinder. As soon as she arrived at the door, she heard the sound of a psionic rifle!

Looking at the youth covered in blood in her arms, Lena thanked all the gods she knew.

Perhaps a few seconds later, they will need the Celestial Immortal Technique, and they will never see each other again in this lifetime …
