Chapter 7 The Seventh Apostle
The Seventh Apostle swung its fist, shattering the sand tornado.
The sky was filled with flying yellow sand, like a dense fog, obscuring everything around.
In the next instant, a mysterious force seemed to appear, guiding the yellow sand towards the Seventh Apostle.
In a moment, the yellow sand began to stick to the Seventh Apostle's arm.
As the sand covered it, the Seventh Apostle's arm visibly withered, its moisture seemingly drained, turning the entire limb into something like a mummified corpse.
But this only lasted for a short while.
The shriveled arm instantly swelled again, returning to its original state in the blink of an eye.
This was the Seventh Apostle's characteristic. Injury was a drain on the Seventh Apostle, but as long as it wasn't killed simultaneously, any injury could be recovered from.
Li Jiayi knew this well. Seeing the sand covering the Seventh Apostle shatter, he didn't show much surprise. Instead, his body transformed into sand, soaring into the sky.
The surrounding yellow sand surged forward madly, swirling around Li Jiayi.
Instantly, the sand condensed, forming a colossal sand giant, even taller than the Seventh Apostle.
Bang!
The moment the sand giant took shape, it clenched its fist and punched forward, smashing into the Seventh Apostle's face and knocking it to the ground.
The Seventh Apostle writhed, trying to get up, but the sand giant had no intention of allowing it. It raised its fist and slammed down again.
Bang!
Amidst the booming roars, the Seventh Apostle was once again knocked to the ground. Then, without giving the Seventh Apostle a chance to breathe, the sand giant directly pinned it down.
Its fists were raised and then continuously slammed down.
Bang, bang, bang!
The sand giant's fists rained down on the Seventh Apostle, denting its body.
The flesh and blood on its body began to writhe and twist again. At this moment, a golden light reappeared in the Seventh Apostle's eyes.
Boom!
A beam of light shot out, like a sharp blade, sweeping across the sand giant's body and slicing off half of it.
However, after its body was cut, the shattered fragments of the sand giant transformed into streams of sand, quickly entangling the Seventh Apostle.
"Sand Prison!"
The streams of sand swiftly wrapped around the Seventh Apostle, binding it tightly.
At the same time...
The surrounding fine sand churned again, continuously filling the sand giant's broken body, allowing it to reform.
After completing this, Li Jiayi immediately contacted Bai Ye, "Hey, skinny dog, can you do it?"
Bai Ye cursed, "I'm waiting for you, you brat!"
Bai Ye wasted no time. With Li Jiayi controlling the Seventh Apostle and one final blow needed, it was time for him to make his move.
Body of Burning Flames (In environments with high temperatures not generated by Phoenix abilities, all physical attributes except intelligence are increased by 50 points and an additional 25%, possessing high-speed regeneration and self-healing capabilities, ignoring all flame damage and burn damage.)
Domain: Phoenix Perch (A domain ability constructed with the homeland of the phoenix as its background. All hostile targets within the domain continuously suffer damage, Phoenix ability effects are increased by 50%, and the Body of Burning Flames effect is triggered. Enemy weapons have their quality reduced by one tier. After each domain activation, there is a 48-hour cooldown before the next activation.)
Activating the Phoenix ability, Bai Ye's body erupted in blazing flames!
Large swathes of flames spread wildly in all directions, eventually forming a domain that enveloped the Seventh Apostle.
Within the flames, the Seventh Apostle struggled, crashing its body against the surroundings, causing buildings to collapse.
Bai Ye shouted to Li Jiayi, "Now!"
Li Jiayi said, "3, 2, 1..."
The sand giant raised an arm, its massive fist transforming into a drill, spinning continuously as it plunged towards the gem on the Seventh Apostle's chest.
On the other side, within the flames, Bai Ye's body ignited, and then his wings unfurled. Bai Ye transformed into a stream of fire, charging forward and directly crashing into the Seventh Apostle's chest.
Rumble, rumble!
Two massive explosions occurred!
The sand giant's drill struck the Seventh Apostle's chest, instantly shattering the red gem.
On the other side, after Bai Ye collided with the Seventh Apostle's chest, he directly tore open its chest and passed through it.
The Seventh Apostle fell into a silent state!
The sand giant slowly retreated, and the flames on Bai Ye's body dissipated, landing on a nearby ruin.
Judging by the Seventh Apostle's silent state, both sides were likely killed at approximately the same time.
At least, that's what it appeared to the naked eye.
However, was it a synchronized kill?
That was not something that could be determined by sight alone.
Suddenly...
A piercing shriek suddenly sounded.
Golden beams of light shot out from the Seventh Apostle's eyes, hitting the sand giant's chest and shattering a piece of it.
On the other side, the Seventh Apostle, which had been in a silent state, suddenly moved, raising its fist and smashing it down towards the ruin where Bai Ye was standing.
Rumble!
As Bai Ye transformed into lightning and moved away, the Seventh Apostle's fist struck the ruin, completely pulverizing it.
Large amounts of sand collapsed, piling up like small mountains.
Li Jiayi scrambled out from the sand, coughing and spitting out sand. He made a phone gesture with his hand and said, "You damn idiot, didn't I tell you it wouldn't work? The Seventh Apostle's combat power is at the bottom among the apostles. We can indeed defeat it, but this guy is very difficult to deal with. Without a synchronized kill, it can't be truly killed."
Bai Ye flickered continuously as lightning, creating distance from the Seventh Apostle, and said, "Perfect synchronization is too difficult."
"Because it's too difficult, that's why it's troublesome," Li Jiayi said. "Of course, it's not entirely impossible. The first way is to find twins with strong mental resonance. The second is through rhythm training, which doesn't require such high demands on mutual tacit understanding, such as using musical rhythm. As long as you keep up with the musical rhythm at the same time, you can achieve synchronization."
Bai Ye said, "Do we have time for training now?"
Li Jiayi said, "That's why I told you to run! Without training, without coordination, and without tacit understanding, killing the Seventh Apostle is almost impossible."
"Wait a minute," Bai Ye suddenly said. "It seems like it worked?"
