Chapter 777 Swallowing System
The drunken woman who had previously tested Chu Mo is named Qin Ning, which Chu Mo only learned now.
Within the entire bar, Qin Ning was the only one to stand up against the Phoenix girl.
Of course, her actions were likely not to help Chu Mo and Yu Wenjing. The most probable reason was to avenge the bar owner lying in a pool of blood. However, regardless of her motives, the three of them were now united in battling the Phoenix girl, and Chu Mo naturally had to advance and retreat alongside her.
The Invincible Golden Body Skill had already been activated, but this skill only had a one-minute duration. After one minute, if he wanted to extend it, he would need to spend Luxury Points.
Of course, now was not the time to worry about Luxury Points. Although Chu Mo had previously faced off against the Shaolin Abbot and even the Xu family's patriarch, those opponents were ordinary humans. This time was different—it was his first time battling another system user. He couldn't afford to be careless.
The first to launch an attack was Qin Ning once again. The ponytailed woman seemed to have a fiery temperament, the kind that explodes at the slightest provocation. Her previous assault hadn't harmed the Phoenix girl at all, which only made her angrier. Now, Qin Ning clearly wanted to end the fight quickly. Staring at the Phoenix girl fluttering her wings mid-air, Qin Ning stopped holding back and closed her eyes. The next moment, when she reopened them, a complex circular array appeared before her. As her pupils turned an eerie shade of red, the array began rapidly forming.
In just moments, the array was complete and automatically locked onto the Phoenix hovering in mid-air. Immediately, red laser beams burst forth from the array, shooting toward her.
This attack from Qin Ning was clearly extraordinary. The terrifying power contained within the red lasers rendered the jacketed Phoenix girl—formerly able to shield herself with her Phoenix Wings—incapable of any reckless collisions now. As her wings flapped, her figure left behind a faint afterimage before she vanished on the spot.
However, Qin Ning on the ground had already locked onto her location. No matter where she appeared, the red lasers within the array continuously pursued her.
After half a minute, as blood tears suddenly streamed from Qin Ning's eyes, the array before her paused for a brief moment. It was at this instant that the Phoenix mid-air, who had been evading up until now, finally launched her counterattack. Her wings abruptly flapped, and her figure rapidly descended toward Qin Ning on the ground.
"She's at her limit..."
This was Yu Wenjing's whispered warning by his ear.
Chu Mo, who had been closely monitoring the battle, would never let the Phoenix girl have her way. He went all-in with the Invincible Golden Body Skill, instantly expanding his domain to cover a ten-kilometer radius.
Then, just as the Phoenix's dagger was mere meters away from the ponytailed woman on the ground, the domain successfully locked onto her position.
But the unthinkable happened. At the exact moment Chu Mo's domain enveloped the Phoenix, he suddenly realized that time around him seemed to stop. Within the domain, everyone lost the ability to move once more.
Shock and disbelief flooded Chu Mo's eyes. He could barely move but managed to glance at the bar owner, who was still lying lifeless in the pool of blood, his breathing completely stopped.
In other words, apart from the bar owner, someone else had just activated an S-tier skill—the Space Stasis ability from another system user.
Under Chu Mo's utterly astonished gaze, the Phoenix girl, her wings still flapping incessantly, easily approached Qin Ning, now incapable of resistance. Then, with a swift strike, the fiery-tempered drunken woman lost the light in her eyes.
With time still frozen around him, Chu Mo couldn't understand why the Phoenix girl was unaffected while everyone else remained immobilized.
And then, an even more terrifying event took place.
As Qin Ning's lifeless body slowly fell, Chu Mo distinctly saw a faint bundle of light emerging from her eyes. Without hesitation, the nearby Phoenix girl swallowed the light, and, at the same time, her pupils transformed into an eerie shade of red. Before her, an identical array to the one Qin Ning had just conjured materialized.
At that moment, Chu Mo finally understood the source of the surrounding space's immobilization.
It had been the Phoenix girl. She had likely used the same method to consume the bar owner's light bundle and gained his abilities. Thus, she was the second person on scene wielding the control over space.
And now, she had acquired Qin Ning's Heaven-God Eyes as well.
With the powers of flames, time manipulation, the Heaven-God Eyes, and terrifying speed, the Phoenix girl possessed at least four different system capabilities.
She truly merited her arrogance. No wonder she had both the strength and audacity to challenge everyone in the bar single-handedly.
"System, spend 10,000 Luxury Points to purchase the Intermediate Destruction Skill."
Chu Mo didn't hesitate for a moment. He knew full well that he was on the brink of annihilation.
From his previous confrontations with the Shaolin Abbot to his standoff with the Xu family patriarch, Chu Mo had always firmly believed in his system's invincibility. With his system by his side, he was confident he would emerge victorious in the end.
