but...
The message that Chou Ke sent to Chen Ke fell on deaf ears, and no response came back. The connection still existed, but there was a strange silence that made people feel creepy.
Chou Ke closed his eyes in pain. He clearly felt that behind all this, there seemed to be an invisible big hand that was manipulating everything at will.
First the main station was attacked, then there was internal chaos, then there was Yinke's betrayal, and then Zike's plan for a last-ditch fight, and now...
"Are we destined to take a path where we have to risk everything..."
Chou Ke murmured absentmindedly. Entrusting such a heavy mission to one person was like hanging a heavy object by a thread, which was definitely not the result he wanted to see.
No matter who this "gravekeeper" is, even Chou Ke himself, he does not have enough courage and confidence to survive the long and endless dark night.
But now, he seems to have no choice but to embark on this path that he has always resisted the most.
Six swords of different styles pierced through the burly man's body, nailing him to the ground.
The surging nothingness around did not dissipate. When it spread to the position of the sword blade, it was transformed by a force that looked like an evil curse, and became gentle in an instant.
But even at this point, Chen Ke still did not die completely. He raised his head with difficulty, staring at the slender figure in front of him with unbelievable eyes.
"At 12:00..."
What shocked him was not that Mao Ke would do something to him, because that was almost inevitable.
In fact, Lian Chen Ke himself had some ideas in mind. If he could defeat the "Xihe Palace" completely before the other messengers, he might join in the action.
You know, because of the nature of "Doomsday", once it is completely annihilated, there is almost no possibility of recovery.
In other words, the territories conquered by the Doomsday Messengers can never be counterattacked by the Land of Origin, and their fighting will not benefit the Land of Origin.
Therefore, this sudden backstab can not only get rid of the opponent that you dislike on a daily basis, but also swallow up all the resources in the hands of the opponent in one breath. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
As for the so-called bullshit agreement...
I'm afraid that only Chou Ke is willing to believe it.
Every one of the Twelve Minutes of Doom is well aware that the chance of becoming a "gravekeeper" is now very slim. As the strongest messenger, Zi Ke has almost reserved a position, and at most only one more "gravekeeper" can be born.
Even if there were no conflicts before, even if they were close friends, relatives, brothers, at this critical moment of life and death, it is simply a fantasy to stop them with an agreement without any binding force.
In this case, it was only a matter of time before the weapons came into conflict.
The reason why they still maintain superficial harmony is simply because neither side has a trump card in hand that is enough to form an overwhelming advantage. At least they have to complete the fall of the entire earth fragment in advance, usher in a brief "doomsday" watch, and then attack with its power, so that they can have the capital to win with one blow.
After receiving the news that Mao Ke had completed the fall of the "Kingdom of Qingqiu", Chen Ke's first reaction was to suspend the offensive against the "Xihe Palace", because he knew very well that Mao Ke's first target would definitely be himself.
Fortunately, although Mao Ke had a brief "doomsday" gaze at this time, her strength was originally the weakest among the twelve moments of doomsday, and her troops were basically exhausted. She was just a commander without troops, and she could still resist her attacks.
As long as we can hold on for a while, other messengers will definitely arrive.
However, they came here not to help Chen Ke, but just to divide Mao Ke.
Knowing this clearly, Chen Ke simply ignored Chou Ke's warning. He believed that this was a unique opportunity. As long as he could gain the greatest benefit after Mao Ke's fall, he could be the winner in the battle for the "gravekeeper".
result...
What he never expected was that it was not only Mao Ke who attacked him, but also the Xuanyuan family's virtual world warship that rushed in from the virtual world.
With the help of the invisible characteristics of the virtual world, the virtual world fleet suddenly launched an attack and directly defeated the defense line built by Chen Ke to deal with Mao Ke from the side, as if they knew Chen Ke's weakness from the beginning. They destroyed them all the way and the three brothers and sisters of Xuanyuan Mu Yan came directly in front of Chen Ke to prepare for this final battle.
It has to be said that Chen Ke’s strength is indeed strong enough. He took advantage of the virtual world to fight one against three, and it can almost be said that he was not at a disadvantage at all.
At this moment, Mao Ke suddenly appeared from the darkness and gave Chen Ke the most fatal blow.
At this point, the battle is over.
With the perfect cooperation between Mao Ke and Xuanyuan Family, the time it took Chen Ke to be completely defeated was beyond imagination. What he found most unbelievable was that Mao Ke could actually cooperate with Xuanyuan Family.
It’s not “will”, but “can”.
The Doomsday Messenger was afraid of the Xuanyuan Family's power, but compared to the Xuanyuan Family's hostile attitude, the Doomsday Messenger was more forced to fight.
If it is possible to cooperate with the Xuanyuan family, even if the cooperative project is not related to spreading "doomsday", no one will object within the twelve moments of doomsday.
But unfortunately, the Xuanyuan family has always had only one attitude towards the Messenger of Doom.
—You are a lackey of "Doomsday" and you deserve to die.
This impossible fact appeared clearly in front of Chen Ke.
He stared at Mao Ke, but could only watch as Mao Ke casually took out his heart, which was the source of Chen Ke's ability.

He stared at Mao Ke, but could only watch as Mao Ke casually took out his heart, which was the source of Chen Ke's ability.
Without his heart, he completely lost the ability to resist.
"As expected of a postman, he is really hard to kill."
Xuanyuan Muwu said with emotion while bandaging the wounds on his body.
Having said that, his face was filled with high spirits. Even though he was seriously injured, he still fought to his heart's content.
..”
Xuanyuan Muxue silently wiped the sword in his hand, while from time to time he was alert to the woman standing not far away before the hour of dawn.
She glanced at her elder sister Xuanyuan Muyan with a hint of doubt.
But Xuanyuan Muyan just shook her head and said nothing.
Actually... it's because she also knows nothing.
These were all arranged by Miss Wu Yuan.
—Through Mao Ke, Luo Ling had a certain understanding of Chen Ke’s strength and was very clear that this messenger was not someone who could be killed in a short time.
Moreover, the reason for choosing to kill Chen Ke was not entirely because he wanted to kill him, but to gradually pry open the layout of the Doomsday Messenger through Chen Ke's death.
Therefore... the action to kill Chen Ke must be done by Mao Ke.
However, even with Luo Ling's help, Mao Ke's strength is not enough to crush Chen Ke. It can even be said that he can only suppress her slightly. It is not a problem for Chen Ke to hold on until other postmen come to share a piece of the pie.
Therefore, Luo Ling mobilized a move that he had kept hidden before, and mobilized the Xuanyuan family's virtual world fleet that had been wandering between virtual worlds.
The Xuanyuan family's original mission was to hunt down the Doomsday Messenger, and the Void Fleet was established for the purpose of directly attacking the Doomsday Messenger's lair. Although it was rare for them to face the Doomsday Messenger directly after its establishment, it did bring the Xuanyuan family many unexpected gains in other aspects, and it was not entirely a money-losing product.
Knowing that they had a chance to kill one of the Twelve Moments of Doom, Xuanyuan Muyan naturally took the lead. Her brother and sister were also in the Virtual World Fleet at this time, so they hit it off and, with the help of the detailed deployment intelligence in Luo Ling's hands, they attacked Chen Moment unexpectedly.
Xuanyuan Muyan's strength is slightly weaker than her mother Xuanyuan Linglong at her peak, so if she is alone, it would be quite difficult for her to even fight against a postman. However, with the assistance of Xuanyuan Muxue and Xuanyuan Muwu, Chen Ke was forced into a long tug-of-war.
What's more, the weapons of everyone in the Xuanyuan family have been enchanted by Luo Ling, and all carry a trace of the power of the "Savior Witch", which is used to suppress Chen Ke's "Doomsday" erosion. It is equivalent to breaking Chen Ke's most feared arm, so defeat is only a matter of time.
However, the crucial blow came at Mao Ke, a sudden attack from the darkness that completely cut off Chen Ke's way of survival.
When they saw the hour of Mao, the three Xuanyuan disciples present thought that another powerful enemy had arrived, until they received the message from Miss Wu Yuan and felt relieved.
However, Xuanyuan Muxue still felt very wary of the Doomsday Messenger's vigilance that was almost ingrained in her bones. Although Xuanyuan Muyan said nothing, she still kept a certain distance from Mao Ke.
"Take this heart and you can retreat."
Mao Ke directly threw the Chen Ke heart in his hand to Xuanyuan Muyan and said in a flat tone.
Xuanyuan Muyan did not take the heart with her hands, but drew her sword and pierced through the heart directly, leaving it hanging on the tip of the sword - she wanted this heart only to prove to her clan the death of a person at the twelve minutes of doomsday, and she did not intend to use it to refine anything, so of course she would not be polite.
Moreover, who knows whether the other Twelve Minutes of Doom will bring some small surprises to this heart
Even though the other party was Miss Wu Yuan's chosen insider, the aura of "doomsday" emanating from him could not be faked.
"Sister, we..."
Xuanyuan Muxue hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice.
"Let's go."
Xuanyuan Muyan nodded slightly to Mao Ke, then withdrew with the heart on the tip of the sword.
At the same time, the virtual world fleet that was fighting against the army of the Doomsday Messenger received the signal and began to prepare for retreat.
Next, several couriers are rushing here. If they don't retreat in time, it will be difficult for the Void World Fleet to escape unscathed from the siege from the couriers.
There is no point in fighting further. There is no need to continue. Now that the goal has been achieved, we should just quit while we are ahead.
"... I have rarely seen the Xuanyuan family be so rational when they meet us."
Chen Ke was breathing slightly, his eyes showing unconcealable pain. He watched the Xuanyuan family members leave, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.
He was not a fool. Everything that happened before his eyes had naturally made him know clearly who the traitor he had been looking for was.
"I want to know, what is your purpose?"
Perhaps because he was approaching death, Chen Ke's mood gradually calmed down. Of course, it might also be because his heart was taken away. Even his heart was gone, so naturally he had no mood to speak of.
Mao Ke shook his head and walked towards him without saying a word.
"You are so narrow-minded that you can't even satisfy the curiosity of a dead person?" Chen Ke sneered. 5 "It seems that Mao Ke, I misjudged you."
"Your provocation is of no use to me, and there is no need to expect you to leave them any message. Miss Luo Ling has cut off all your means." Mao Ke shook his head and sighed.
Until now, Chen Ke still hasn't recognized her true character, and still wants to treat her the same way he treated her in the past, trying to find out some information so that he can leave it to other messengers.
It’s a pity that Luo Ling, who is the best in this area, has included some spores in the enchantment of the "Savior Witch" from the very beginning.
These spores have formed into mycelium and began to spread in Chen Ke's body, using his corpse until the final moment.
Puppet Song's third ability is "Complete Control".
Chen Ke was severely injured and dying, and even his heart, the source of his power, was taken away. He was no longer able to resist the erosion and domination from Puppet Rumor.
However, for beings at Chen Ke's level, all important information will not be stored between the body and the soul. If one wants to dig deep into the consciousness, it is not something that Luo Ling can do now.
... ..
Hearing this, Chen Ke’s expression suddenly turned pale.
The traitor identified by Zi Ke previously was guided by the "White Witch", and the Miss Luo Ling mentioned by Mao Ke should be the "White Witch" herself.
The White Witch's methods...
At this moment, when Chen Ke realized this, he finally discovered something wrong with his body.
Surprisingly... it moved in a weird posture.
After pulling out the swords from his body one by one, he heard his own voice saying in a calm tone,
"The elder sisters and brothers of the Xuanyuan family were quite ruthless. They can only move for half an hour at most. But at least they can still be used to send some small surprises."
"Half an hour is enough. They will definitely run faster than rabbits when they hear the news. They will come here in a quarter of an hour at most." Mao Ke suddenly smiled and rubbed his hands excitedly. "Miss Luo Ling, what should I do now? Lie down and pretend to be a corpse?"
"If you like, you can lie down. It doesn't matter."
Luo Ling controlled Chen Ke's broken body and said that her consciousness did not descend here, but on the small doll in Mao Ke's hand.
Ever since Luo Ling discovered that the size of the doll did not affect the release of her abilities and the arrival of her consciousness, she liked to give dolls away everywhere, and of course Mao Ke also had one in his hand.
"Okay."
Mao Ke clapped her hands, then picked up a sword next to her and pierced her heart, then lay straight down, saying with her tongue twisted,
"Ah, I was killed..."
The little Luo Ling doll hidden in her waist bag couldn't help rubbing her temples. Sister, weren't you cool and handsome in front of Chen Ke? Why did you become like this when you ran in front of me...
Chapter 92 Funeral Song (4k)
On this battlefield that is almost riddled with holes, looking around, one can see almost entirely unrecognizable corpses, with sword wounds and traces of erosion by "Doomsday" on the broken bodies.
Anyone could see that this place had experienced a particularly brutal battle not long ago.
As for the ultimate winner of this fierce battle...
A burly figure stood firm like a god of war. Not far in front of him was a woman who had died tragically. Even her heart had been pierced by a sword, and her whole body was filled with the heavy silence of "death".
A win or a loss seemed to have made the difference.
Just as Mao Ke said, in less than a quarter of an hour, two vague auras appeared one by one on this devastated battlefield.
It is exactly the Xu and Wei hours.
Even though they almost all concealed their auras, based on their understanding of their colleagues who had worked together for countless years, they were able to figure out each other's identities after just a brief contact.
