528 Gan Ji, the Mad Demon Lord 1 (1/2)
”SLOTH CURSE!!”
Gan Ji shouted as he pointed his palm at Diaochan.
Medusa was ready for the curse attack. She covered her body with the same curse, absorbing the power from Gan Ji.
But as she did so, she lost track of the old demon.
”ENLIGHTENMENT!”
Liu Yang blessed Diaochan with her virtuous ability to increase her sense. At the same time, she blocked a strike from Gan Ji's cane with her steel spear.
*CLANK*
Gan Ji reappeared behind Diaochan and attacked her with his canes, but Liu Yang protected her partner by deflecting the canes.
The goddess candidate's arms were numb after the contact. Her eyes locked on Gan Ji's two canes, which were glowing in a strange purple light.
Gan Ji sneered at Liu Yang.
”CORROSIVE TOUCH!!”
The spear shaft that touched Gan Ji's canes melted. Within half a second, the aura-coated spear became two pieces of useless rods.
Liu Yang frowned in confusion. The aura around the spear sent feedback to her psych that this phenomenon was an enhanced curse from someone with a higher cultivation base than this 8-wing demon. However, this skill clearly belonged to Gan Ji.
One thing came to Liu Yang's mind.
System Skill!
Ordinary system skills created by reincarnators were usually harmless to immortals since they could simply envelop their bodies with their aura to neutralize the effect. Then, all skills would be rendered useless.
But that only applied to reincarnators without a cultivation base!
Once a cultivator got their hands on these skills, they could be a deadly weapon if they applied their forces into their abilities.
Attack skills, such as Qi Blast of Sun Fang or Homing Arrow of Hua Shi could inflict damage on immortals with the same or lower cultivation base.
The same was also true to disruption skills. Tong's signature skill, Time Stop, also fell into this category.
Then, there were enhancement skills or abilities that add a special characteristic to the user. Khan's True Strike almost killed Tong when they first fought.
And now, Gan Ji's Corrosion Touch was a buff type skill. It bestowed melting ability of his weapons.
Once his weapons touched any part of his opponents, he could activate it and make it dissolve into liquid.
Liu Yang tossed the spear away before the corrosion could reach her hands.
”Good reaction, little goddess. But this is just the beginning of despair! TIME STOP!!”
Liu Yang widened their eyes in shock when Gan Ji uttered the name of Tong's skill. As soon as the world lost its color, she found herself unable to move.
However, Liu Yang could still see and sense the surroundings. Still, she could break free from this time and space shackle if she exerted some strength.
”KEHAHAHAHA! REMEMBER THIS SKILL!? GIVE MY REGARDS TO ZHANG TONG THAT I SAID THANK YOU!!”
Gan Ji teleported and reappeared in front of Liu Yang before she could regain her mobility. He swung his wooden canes at her.
But it seemed that he had forgotten someone.
Medusa's spear tip also appeared 2 centimeters left side of Gan Ji's neck. She thrust her spear forward as she had prepared for this kind of tactic.
Medusa had sparred with Tong many times, and she got used to dealing with this skill's effect.
Gan Ji sensed the incoming attack. He held back his strike and bent his body backward.
The spear grazed Gan Ji's neck.
*SWUA*
The spear left a one-centimeter deep cut, but it wasn't fatal enough to kill the old sage.
Medusa's eyes followed after Gan Ji's movement. She converted her energy into the spear, creating a red poleaxe-shaped aura covering of the spear.
An ordinary steel spear had become a flaming poleaxe!
Then, she swung it.
The glowing poleaxe chased after Gan Ji's head.
”QI BARRIER!!”
A blue dome manifested and blocked Medusa's strike.
*BOOM*
The sphere shield managed to stop the attack.
Gan Ji sneered as he thought that the system skills that Lilim had bestowed him were invincible, but what occurred afterward shocked him.
A system message warned him that he had just lost several millions of lifespan years.
Gan Ji was stunned by the sudden loss.
”HOW!?”
He didn't have enough time to read the skill description and the weakness of Sun Fang's former skill. Medusa expressionlessly hacked down and with her full force.
From Medusa's perspective, Gan Ji shouldn't have gotten his wings for very long. She estimated that he shouldn't have more than 10 to 20 million years of lifespan in him.
She aimed to deplete all lifespan that Gan Ji had. Once anyone ran out of their lifespan, they would die!
Gan Ji's brain reacted fast. By reflex, he canceled the skill and flew backward.
*WHOOSH*
The swing missed.
Still, Gan Ji believed that he had the upper hands. He smiled at Medusa to mock her.
”I praise you for your reflex. But how about this move? EXPLOSIVE CREATION!!”
It was a skill from an otherworlder, whom Tong had killed during his early days. One of them could create many modern grenades at once.
Gan Ji didn't create only just one or two bombs, but he summoned 100,000 grenades at once.
Green objects appeared everywhere in the sky, surrounding Gan Ji, Medusa, and Liu Yang. All of their pins had already been pulled out!
Gan Ji injected his power into all bombs, depleting most of his lifespan. Once they detonated, these enchanted weapons could even kill immortals with the strength of 8-wing or lower.
