105. One vs. Four

  The famma-tier powerhouses arrived in an instant, their speed and reflexes far surpassing the grand duke Li Aozi had faced earlier. However, strained by the public setting, they dared not use their full power, wary of endangering the dignitaries present.

  But everyone uood oruth: mercy toward the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

  A Tianhuan Dragon fa warrior immediately charged at Li Aozi, his cws slig through the air, igniting scorg fmes as he aimed straight for Li Aozi's throat.

  Li Aozi didn’t dodge or avoid it. Instead, he leaned forward, directly colliding with the warrior’s cws. The fmes, like a cutting torch, smoothly burhrough and tore apart Li Aozi’s chest armor. But this didn’t bring the Dragon fa warrior any sense of relief.

  On the trary, he grew more solemn.

  Normally, with su ope wound, the body should stop moving, but Li Aozi wasn’t hindered in the slightest.

  He simply g himself with a mischievous look. Then, the Dragon fa warrior suddenly felt a chilling cold spread through his body. At that moment, red-bck tendrils burst from Li Aozi, stabbing into the warrior.

  "Dragon fa warrior Chu Wei, huh?" Li Aozi gnced pyfully at the battle information. This guy had quite a background, much like Nimotin, another boss from the current game version.

  After all, those guarding the gathering were all mainline bosses from Tianhuan’s 2.0 storyline, each requiring hundreds of pyers to take down.

  Now, they all hesitantly attacked, fag him alone.

  As the tendrils pierced his body, Chu Wei’s face twisted in shock. He could clearly feel his life force being drained, his cellur vitality halting.

  "Damn trickery!"

  Chu Wei cursed, quickly retreating as his hand turned into a bde, sshing off the tendrils inside him. He immediately began striking his pressure points, activating a protective qi aura. The pale green energy shielded him, attempting to cut off Li Aozi’s further life-draining ability.

  Chu Wei’s expression darkened as he urgently called to his rades:

  "This guy has life-draining abilities! Let’s finish him quickly, together!"

  This was the advantage of Tianhuan—fad pride didn’t matter. Evero among them focused solely os, using any means necessary.

  However, Chu Wei hadn’t yet realized the terrifyient of Li Aozi’s fully developed Blood Demon teique. The more ehe less likely he was to die. With 【Death Link】 active, all their damage would be shared and absorbed by him.

  Gamma-tier 【Medium】 Suzuka, dressed in her shrine maiden uniform, had already made her judgment. She bit her finger, using her blood to paint crimson eye shadow around her eyes.

  【Self-Hypnosis】

  After a brief murmur, the strength of her spiritual preatly increased. Without hesitation, she cast a series of hand signs, summoning the spirit she had tracted with.

  【Summoning Ritual: White Fox】

  "Heaven ah essehe subtle force of all beings, aid my body, let a thousand apertures open to the spirits!"

  Her casting was swift. As Chu Wei cshed with Li Aozi once more, Suzuka’s eyes glowed with eerie spiritual light. She suddenly shouted:

  "Bite him, Spirit Fox!"

  Grrraaahh!

  As soon as she spoke, a massive white spirit fox crashed through a nearby building, its jaws opening wide with fierce malevolence as it bit Li Aozi at the waist.

  "Now’s the time."

  【Talismans】

  Suzuka’s decisive a had a signifit effect. She raised her hand, juring three ghostly blue fmes around her, amplifying her spiritual power. She then threw three yelloer talismans, which transformed into bolts of lightning, striking Li Aozi precisely.

  Zap!

  The three bolts hit Li Aozi, but apart from a numbiion, they caused him no harm—【Armor of the Mountains】's rocky yers pletely ed the damage. Meanwhile, the white fox shook its head violently, thrashing Li Aozi bad forth, refusing to release him.

  "Spirit Fox Shrine Maiden Suzuka, what was the strategy to defeat her again?"

  Li Aozi’s mind raced, recalling past strategies for defeating these enemies.

  The 【Medium】 profession was immuo gravitational damage, the Dragon fa’s 【Warrior】 had formidable face-to-fabat abilities, and the remaining two were still waiting for the right moment to strike.

  "—Got it."

  The two "masterpiece" ons in Li Aozi’s hands crossed swiftly, and behind him, a ghostly purple samurai warrior apparition rose.

  【Soul-Engraved Sword Saint: Battle Demon】

  "Let me show you what kind of ons you’ve uimated."

  Li Aozi’s left hand grasped Tsu: Shadow's Edge, a katana whose properties he knew by heart. With the Battle Demon’s support, the bde felt like aension of his own bones.

  Roaaar!

  The white fox, enraged, smmed Li Aozi to the ground, pinning him with its massive cws, preparing to tear him apart. But Li Aozi seized the moment, rolling up and driving his shoulder into the fox’s nose.

  【Pegasus Strength】

  His body swelled with power. Enhanced by the talent 【Unyielding Resolve】, Li Aozi’s high 【Charisma】 maximized the Omega energy’s strength, unleashing a massive surge of force from his body.

  【Strength Check Passed—Omega-enharength rated at: 154 points】

  Boom!

  The sheer power was so immehat eve three-story-tall white fox, hit in its vulnerable nose, was knocked back, tumbling to the ground.

  Li Aozi spun his bde, ready to strike again, but Chu Wei came charging at him with a punch, f Li Aozi to dodge and leap back a hundred meters, twisting in midair to avoid Suzuka’s barrage of spells.

  "Tch! What a hassle! Gamma-tiers are no joke."

  Li Aozi decided not to hold bay longer, swinging his long bde with a sweeping ssh.

  Swish—

  A narrow crest of purple-bergy ripped through the air, speeding toward Chu Wei, who dismissed it as an ordinary sword energy attack. He braced himself, rooted in a horse stance, and summoned his protective qi.

  Sword energy, which typically relies on vacuum force to deal damage, could normally be blocked by a strong qi aura. Especially for a Dragon fa warrior, a master of qi trol.

  He thought he could deflect it easily.

  But—

  Shiiing!

  The flowing purple-bck crest effortlessly peed the qi aura and struck Chu Wei’s chest, searing and corrosive like a depleted uranium round. The intense radiation spread beh his skin, instantly causing massive cell death and halting regeion, crippling his bodily funs.

  "It’s radiation!" Chu Wei’s face turned pale as the purple-bck wound on his chest dug deeper into his body. He could feel the strange, devastating damage spreading.

  "High-iy radiation! Don’t let him hit you!"

  But his warning came too te.

  Swoosh!

  Li Aozi reversed his grip on the massive sword Dust-Sealed Sanctuary and drove it into the ground. Everyone looked on in fusion as Li Aozi suddenly twisted the hilt as if revving a motorcycle.

  Hum—

  The runes on the sword lit up with golden light.

  Chu Wei was shocked. "That sword... it wasn’t supposed to be a cold on!"

  "Of course not."

  Li Aozi replied:

  "It’s a magic on."

  In the instant, the sword-like box cracked opeing with brilliant light. Li Aozi grasped the hilt, drawing out a finely crafted, radiant sword from within.

  'Gactigue: Luminous Bde of Radiance, extinguishing shadows and evil.'
