Chapter 1210: Luck VS. Ability!

Having said those words, Sheyan instantly disappeared from Reef’s view! He vanished amid the light blue ice dust that was flying around.
At that moment, Reef suddenly felt as if it was not ice dust that was flying around, but the smoke and ashes of cigars. He thought he could hear Mogensha’s hearty laughter coming from it too.
The moment Sheyan disappeared, Reef found to his amazement that he could move and was already out of the state of near death. He looked down and saw his body covered in three layers of green light, which was the special effect of the silver storyline item carried by Sheyan, the ‘Evergreen Leaf of the Sacred Oak’.
This leaf had an active ability on it called the ‘Oak Recovery’ which had the same healing effect as a level 5 ‘Rejuvenation’, healing the target’s HP by 450-600 over 12 seconds.
If one were desperate, one could use ‘Oak Recovery’ three times in a row, but that would cost a hefty price of over 20,000 utility points and 10 potential points.
But such a cost was obviously quite worthwhile to help Party Ace get through the current critical situation. Reef was now stacked with three layers of lvl 5 ‘Rejuvenation’ effect, restoring more than 1500 of his HP in twelve seconds. Therefore, he had quickly left the state of near death.
***
While Sheyan had quietly concealed himself and ambushed Shali, stabbing him to death, Sanzi was once again facing an unprecedented crisis!
A crisis of death!
He was currently lying on the ground in a state of near death, unable to move, but he could see that there was something wrong within the dim blue dust above.
He had been blown away by the frost shockwave to a road right in front of a supermarket entrance. His hands and feet were frozen in ice, but because he was facing up to the sky, he could see the top of the three storey supermarket.
A car had been blown to the top of the three storey supermarket, awkwardly and precariously frozen at the edge of the rooftop with its bottom facing upwards. The ice freezing it was just strong enough to stop it from crashing down. If it did, it would fall right on top of Sanzi.
A pigeon happened to come from nowhere, flying past the area. It was suddenly assaulted by the chill in the air and immediately fell down unsteadily. With some difficulty, it managed to flutter its wings and grab an electrical wire nearby to steady itself.
But having been assaulted by the shockwave of the ‘Chill of Resentment’, the wire had already sustained a temperature far lower than it was designed to withstand. Although the pigeon was very light, it was fluttering and falling down from the sky, so without any suspense, the wire broke.
Now, the power supply was not cut off. Current was still flowing in the wire. One side of the severed wire, hissing and sparkling with electricity, swung towards Sanzi like the vine of Tarzan, but it was stuck at the edge of the supermarket rooftop.
The electric sparks on the wire continued to zap. The previous ice shockwave was like a typhoon passing through, messing up everything in its path and freezing everything facing it in a thick layer of ice, but a spot near the edge of the rooftop was blocked by the water tank on the rooftop, so it was not covered in ice. The wire happened to get stuck there. As a result, the electric sparks ignited a large lump of cotton wool that had been blown up there.
It so happened that a bucket of cooking oil had turned over beside the cotton wool. Oil had a much lower freezing point than water, so the oil was still flowing freely. Naturally, it was ignited, and it then flowed to the car that had been flung to the top of the supermarket and frozen there.
The upside down car that was stuck on the edge of the rooftop was maintaining its fragile balance at that position thanks to the ice. When the fire reached it, it started shaking unsteadily. By the time the fire spread to the car body, it finally could not hang on any longer and fell down straight towards Sanzi.
Sanzi was currently stuck in the state of near death, Reef had not recovered yet, and Sheyan would not be able to reach him in time! Even if the car couldn’t kill Sanzi directly, the fuel tank would surely explode and burn when it was ignited. There was no way Sanzi could escape from death!
That’s right, this was the work of the mastermind, who was overseeing the situation of the whole battlefield. When he found that Sheyan had inexplicably freed himself, he immediately came to a decision. With precise calculations, he would end Sanzi!
His power has been refracted five times through the pigeon, wire, cotton wool, cooking oil and the car, magnifying its destructive effect to the extreme! He was absolutely certain that even Sheyan, who had defied his expectations many times, could not save Sanzi this time.
ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN!
Within Sanzi’s vision, the car that was crashing down seemed to occupy the entire world! He closed his eyes in despair, and yet he could still feel the blazing fire on the car heating up his face.
He felt so helpless in the face of death. Mogensha had saved him the last time by sacrificing his own life, but who would save him this time? Who could save him this time?
When the burning car was less than a metre from Sanzi’s face, there was a loud bang! A fierce wind swept across Sanzi’s face. The intense heat suddenly disappeared.
It turned out that at that critical moment, an Audi A8 had burst into the scene at an astonishing speed and crashed into the burning car that was about to hit Sanzi like an angry bull. It launched both cars into the pavement nearby, where they violently exploded!
“How…How could this happen!” One could imagine the mastermind’s mood at the moment. He had always managed to maintain his calm no matter what had happened, but this time, he couldn’t help but roar out loud, “How could this happen? How could this happen!!! Replay the satellite image immediately!”
The truth was quickly unveiled via the slow-motion replay.
It turned out that when the pigeon landed on the wire, it broke the wire into two sections. The section on the right swung to the roof of the supermarket, but…it seemed the section on the left was unwilling to be just a side character.
It also drooped down and finally fell on the ground. The severed end, flashing with electric sparks, came into contact with a broken electric billboard. The frame of the electric billboard was made of metal, so it naturally conducted current. When the badly damaged electric billboard was zapped, a small explosion happened due to short circuit.
When the small explosion occurred, a sharp fragment of shattered billboard shot out spinning, moving at a high speed over a distance of more than ten meters. It penetrated the back of a car seat and pierced deep into a man’s cervical vertebrae!!
The man was the driver of an Audi A8.
This was, after all, a busy intersection. Severe chaos had instantly broken out when the attack occurred, so numerous cars had stopped all around the intersection. This driver was quite fortunate. He was knocked unconscious after being caught in the fierce battle and his car was damaged all over, but because he was wearing a seat belt, he was alive, firmly strapped to his seat.
When his cervical vertebra suddenly sustained heavy damage, he was instantly jolted awake by the pain. Although he was still very confused right after waking up, the first thing he did out of instinct was naturally to reach around behind his cervical vertebra with his right hand to pull out the fragment from the wound.
But his right hand could not reach the wound due to his current sitting position, so he must straighten his body to pull out the fragment. However, he was currently strapped tight to the seat by the seat belt, and his right foot was on the accelerator.
Therefore, when the driver straightened his body almost instinctively to reach behind and pull out the fragment, he stepped hard on the accelerator instead thanks to the seat belt….
The engine of the Audi A8 roared to life, and the car flew forward at once. It took only 6.2 seconds for this luxury car, which was famous for its performance, to accelerate from 0 to 100 meters per second. On the way, it happened to run across a smooth ramp covered in ice, formed by the icy shockwave earlier!
And so, it crashed into the burning car arranged by the mastermind behind the scenes to kill Sanzi!!
What happened was almost the same as the ability displayed by the mastermind, but it also had a name that everyone was familiar with:
Luck!!!
That’s right! The mastermind, despite his meticulous scheming and plotting, failed to account for one thing, and that was Sanzi’s identity as a Chosen!
A Chosen, a person blessed by the Realm!
They were born with ridiculously good luck.
In essence, the ability of the mastermind would reduce the target’s luck to the lowest point and use a series of coincidences to harm the target.
However, the luck of a Chosen was protected by the Realm. When the mastermind manipulated Sanzi’s luck, it was equivalent to a direct challenge on Noah Realm C’s authority and power, which was clearly against the rules. Naturally, it would be subjected to Noah Realm C’s strong backlash!
Therefore, although the failure of this attack on Sanzi by the mastermind seemed to be accidental, it was, in fact, inevitable. If he had chosen Zi as the target instead, then Zi…would not necessarily have died either, because Zi’s position was within Sheyan’s reach.

The moment Reef was able to move again, he unhesitantly performed ‘Holy Grasp’ again, clenching his teeth.
He saw what had happened to Sanzi. It made him break out in cold sweat. Mogensha’s death had left a permanent scar on his heart. He would never allow something like that to happen again.
