Chapter 80: Battling Blood Boiling (2)

As an Illusion Master, Li’s style of battle was not explosive.

Overly explosive moves would shock the opponent awake from any illusions he created.

Because of this, Li’s attack-oriented Origin Skills emphasized covertness. Even if an attack landed on the target, they were prevented from sensing it and would not be able to awake from the illusion.

However, methods that were particularly strong would bring the opponent lots of pain.

That was why Li had selected a crucial Origin Skill – Pain Impairment.

This was an Origin Skill which could be applied to both enemies and oneself. The person afflicted would temporarily experience a dramatic increase in pain tolerance. As such, normal wounds often would not result in too much feeling.

With the Pain Impairment, a few of Li’s tactics could be finally used, such as the Ghostrat Bite.

The Ghostrat Bite was an extremely poisonous Origin Skill. It could create hundreds of Ghostrats in a short moment that would bite the opponent, infusing Origin Energy poison into the opponent’s body and which created sustained injuries.

This Origin Skill’s strength and focus was not the rats themselves, but the poison. As a result the bodies of the rats were extremely weak, and the pain they inflicted when biting was low. The Pain Impairment skill could eliminate all the pain that Li’s opponents would feel.

Thus, Li often used Pain Impairment and Ghostrat Bite together. Not only this, but he had also added on a thick black fog.

Ghostrat Bite was an Origin Skill that required continuous control. If the opponent unleashed an all-out counterattack, the user could be injured as well. The black fog allowed one to hide in the darkness, making it difficult for the opponent to find them.

This was Li’s Darkness Triple Attack. If he added on the equally poisonous Black-Yellow Plague and the Black Serpent Staff’s constriction, it would be the Darkness Pentuple Attack. Li was an expert in this set of battle techniques, which allowed him to attack, retreat, or defend.

This set of battle techniques that he utilized had already taken the lives of many powerful individuals. Many of these individuals had cultivation bases that were higher than his.

Currently, Li was already giving Su Chen quite a bit of face by using it when Su Chen had a cultivation base much lower than his.

“Originally, we wanted to recruit you into the organization, but you just had to choose the path that leads to death. Unfortunately, we just might have to make a move earlier on the Spirit Burying Terrace.” Li’s voice floated around in the darkness.

“Hm? What are you trying to find in the Spirit Burying Terrace?” Su Chen asked.

A burst of light suddenly appeared on his body.

The Amethyst Battle Armor.

The barrier that suddenly appeared instantly caused the ghostrat to be bounced off.

Without a continuous infusion of poison, the low amounts of Origin Energy Poison could only create a small amount of harm before being automatically neutralized.

Li didn’t reply. He only laughed, “So you did make some preparations?”

He was not surprised.

Since Su Chen had secretly prepared a tactic to break through his Black-Yellow Plague, he had definitely investigated Li before this. Thus, he wouldn’t allow the ghostrats to just bite him like this despite feeling no pain.

However, the Amethyst Battle Armor……

Li darkly laughed, “I know this piece of armor’s weakness.”

As he spoke, the countless ghostrats hidden in the darkness pounced at Su Chen’s chest.

Because the Amethyst Battle Armor’s defensive barrier was damaged, it had no way of protecting the user’s chest.

Since the opponent knew about the Ghostrat Bite’s unique property, and attacking in the darkness would be useless, it was better to just forcefully charge at him!

Large numbers of Ghostrats surged forwards, opening their mouths wide to bite off chunks of Su Chen’s flesh.

The corner of Su Chen’s mouth quirked upwards in a slight smile, however. “The problem with that is…… I know that you know this piece of armor’s weakness.”

This sentence was a tongue-twister. If one wanted to, one could repeat it many times.

However, in reality, it was just a moment of brilliance.

A bright light suddenly exploded out from Su Chen’s chest.

The strong light broke through the darkness and disturbed the Origin Energy flow that permeated the air. It shone brightly on those ghostrats.

All of the ghostrats simultaneously let out piercing, shrill yells. Just like snow encountering strong sun, they all melted and disappeared without a trace.

Hundreds of ghostrats were instantly exterminated. Because it was a skill that required a continuous channeling of energy, the disruption of the Origin Skill also greatly injured Li.
