Chapter 54: Finally Dead

 Chapter 54: Finally Dead

Under the intense gaze of his teammates, Zhang Yuanqing revealed his idea, "I have an item that can restrain the car person and give us ample time to search for the controller."

Kui Wei Renfu, Xishi, and Xie Lingxi furrowed their brows. On the other hand, Fire Demon and Monkey King looked puzzled, "An item? Aren't our skills and items sealed?"

Xishi smiled warmly and explained, "We found a card inside the car that allows us to use an item once."

The news that they could use items brought joy to Fire Demon and Monkey King, but then they frowned again. Monkey King probed, "So, you mean you want to use an item to face the car person alone and buy time for us?"

Fire Demon recalled the fierceness of the car person and shook his head, "This proposal is not reliable. Unless our active skills are unsealed, and we use the item in conjunction, it might be possible to confront the robot."

This time, even Xie Lingxi agreed with Fire Demon, speaking softly, "Wang Tai Gege, it's very dangerous. We are all transcendent-stage Ling Realm cultivators. Most of the items we can access are at this level. Can a transcendent-quality item really deal with the car person?"

Items are categorized by type, not grade, but Ling Realm cultivators know that the grade is a hidden attribute. Most items obtained at the transcendent stage belong to this level.

Kui Wei Renfu calmly said, "This idea is risky. If a single item could easily solve the danger, then this card wouldn't have appeared in the car."

He reminded Zhang Yuanqing not to underestimate the situation and waste the card. An S-rank mission couldn't be so simple.

Obviously, the team members thought Wang Tai's idea was unreliable. However, based on the prestige Wang Tai had established, no one strongly opposed him. They only voiced their doubts but didn't firmly reject the idea.

Ordinary items won't work, but rule-based items should! Facing their teammates' distrust, Zhang Yuanqing, who was well aware of Red Dancing Shoes' abilities, smiled confidently, "As an experienced Ling Realm cultivator, do you doubt my judgment? Don't forget, we are all tied to the same rope. Why would I joke about my own life?"

His expression exuded confidence, and his tone was incredibly composed.

At this moment, Wang Tai's consistent performance played a role. His teammates frowned and stayed silent. Although they still didn't fully believe, they didn't object either.

Most of them didn't have any items, and those who did lacked powerful items for combat.

Kui Wei Renfu stopped speaking. Regardless of the experience aspect, he agreed with the second part of Zhang Yuanqing's statement.

Zhang Yuanqing continued, "Time is limited, everyone, quickly search for car keys."

Zhang Yuanqing said, "Time is limited, everyone, quickly find the car keys."

The six Ling Realm cultivators acted swiftly. In the following time, Zhang Yuanqing found two car keys, Xishi found one, Monkey King found one, and Xie Lingxi found another.

Each of them searched for the corresponding cars, opened the locks, and checked inside. Except for the young girl's car, which had a metal card, the others found nothing.

Xie Lingxi's card had the following content: "You have one chance to transfer hate."

Unfortunately, the cars in the parking lot couldn't be driven. As Zhang Yuanqing felt regretful, a loud engine sound came from a distance.

Startled, they all turned their heads and looked in the direction of the noise. At the entrance of the underground parking lot, the two-meter-tall car person appeared again, holding a chainsaw and with red lights gleaming in its eyes. Its chest microphone shouted, "Everyone must die!"

Xishi screamed, "Wang Tai..."

The others hurriedly gathered in front of the same car, but instead of immediately seeking refuge inside, they looked at Zhang Yuanqing with some expectation.

Zhang Yuanqing pulled out the metal card from his pocket.

[Ding, do you want to use the card to activate the item inventory?]

"Yes!"

In the next moment, he once again sensed the presence of the item inventory and quickly opened it, summoning the Red Dancing Shoes.

A faint red glow swept out, agilely dancing in front of its useless owner, forming into a pair of red dancing shoes.

"Dada..."

The brand-new, exquisite and delicate red dancing shoes rapidly circled around Zhang Yuanqing, showing an unpredictable and lively demeanor. It seemed very happy to come out and dance on its own.

But in the eyes of Xie Lingxi and the others, this scene was somewhat horrifying.

Dancing shoes? A pair of shoes that can move on their own?

Whether it was an illusion or not, they instinctively felt a chill and fear when they looked at the red dancing shoes, without any reason, just intuition.

Sigh, if it weren't for having no other choice, I wouldn't want to use it... Zhang Yuanqing sighed in his heart.

Actually, when he saw the card, his first reaction was: this haunted house is stable.

The spirits in the haunted house might be terrifying, but they were ultimately just spirits. The Fumo Staff contained the power of the sun and half of Lady Nuwa's yang spirit, making it the nemesis of all yin entities.

However, they were currently facing the challenge of the underground parking lot, which was not complicated but incredibly difficult.

Moreover, using the Red Dancing Shoes had another advantage – it would deter the murderer. If the murderer ignored him and the worst-case scenario occurred, the Red Dancing Shoes would return to its initial state and chase after every Ling Realm cultivator in the area.

Everyone would die together.

Facing the approaching car person, Zhang Yuanqing said lightly, "Go!"

The Red Dancing Shoes shot out.

Two faint red lights moved as fast as lightning and collided with the car person's chest. With a loud bang, the steel car person that was charging like thunder came to a stop, sliding back slightly.

But it didn't end there. The Red Dancing Shoes stepped on the stopped car person with a denser rhythm, causing the mechanical body to shake and stagger with each step.

It perfectly restrained the car person's movement.

The car person swung its chainsaw in anger, but the cutting weapon couldn't touch the Red Dancing Shoes. The shoes seemed to exist outside of reality.

The only regret was that the car person's body was indestructible, and the Red Dancing Shoes couldn't do anything to it.

However, in the eyes of Fire Demon, Xishi, and the others, it was the most beautiful scene they had ever seen.

"What kind of item is this? What kind of item?!" Fire Demon was both shocked and excited, his eyes shining with desire.

Xishi and Xie Lingxi finally let go of their tense hearts. As they looked at the Red Dancing Shoes, they felt envy and longing to some extent.

Due to the scarcity of items, Ling Realm cultivators had an innate desire and greed for powerful items.

"Don't get in the car, quickly find the keys!" Zhang Yuanqing shouted loudly, adding, "The price of using these shoes is that if I don't retrieve them from the item inventory within an hour, they will indiscriminately kill people."

Fire Demon and the others' faces changed slightly, and the greed in their hearts disappeared instantly. They didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly began to search.

Monkey King couldn't bear to take his eyes off the Red Dancing Shoes. Thinking about the price, he reminded anxiously, "Wang Tai, don't die... If you die, these shoes will become another danger, a huge danger."

In the following time, the Red Dancing Shoes took on the responsibility of blocking the car person and repeatedly saved them from danger. Finally, after half an hour of relentless searching, Xie Lingxi found the controller inside a sports car.

"Is this it? Is this it...?" The young girl shouted with all her might.

Her luck was just too good... Everyone stopped what they were doing and rushed towards her with an unprecedented speed.

In her hand was a long black metal object, similar to an early-era mobile phone, with an antenna at the top and a red button in the center.

"Try it," Fire Demon urged.

Xie Lingxi looked at Zhang Yuanqing, who nodded, and immediately pressed the red button.

In an instant, everyone held their breath and looked at the machine person fighting with the Red Dancing Shoes not far away.

The towering steel body suddenly stiffened, as if its power had been cut off. All its movements came to a halt, and the red lights in its eyes dimmed.

"Dada..."

The Red Dancing Shoes kicked the car person a few times. Seeing the motionless hunk of metal, it stopped with some confusion and ran back to Zhang Yuanqing with a "dada" sound.

It's here, it's coming to dance with me... Zhang Yuanqing felt relieved, but his mouth twitched imperceptibly.

"Success!" Xie Lingxi cheered.

Xishi and the others let out a sigh of relief and smiled with joy on their faces.

No one died, and they successfully cleared the level without any losses.

They were about to express their gratitude and admiration to Zhang Yuanqing when they suddenly saw the car person not far away, which had seemingly stopped, light up its red eyes again and rushed toward them with a loud engine sound, like an arrow.

What's going on? Everyone's faces changed, and Zhang Yuanqing roared, "Stop it!"

He once again gave an order to the Red Dancing Shoes.

But it was too late. The car person had already passed by the Red Dancing Shoes, replayed the same scene as before, and crashed into the crowd. Its target was clearly Xie Lingxi, who was holding the controller.

This sudden scene caught everyone off guard, and they instinctively fell to the ground without understanding why things had suddenly changed.

Did the controller malfunction?

Did the mission change because the controller became ineffective?

In Xie Lingxi's eyes, she saw the honest and simple face of her father, Kuai Wei Ren Fu, as well as the malice and determination in his eyes.

Kuai Wei Ren Fu forcefully pushed Xie Lingxi away and collided with the chainsaw himself.

His body was cut in half by the chainsaw, and his intestines, organs, and upper body all fell to the ground, splattering blood in a tragic display.

"I am no longer who I used to be..." The car person's audio in its chest laughed maniacally.

"Devil King, you're finally dead, you're finally dead. Devil King, even if you kill me, you won't live..."
