Chapter 82: Battling Blood Boiling 4 (1/2)

Chapter 82: Battling Blood Boiling (4)

Towards the east there was a kind of ape known as the Charm Ape. It enjoyed playing jokes by using illusions. Every time its illusions fell on humans, they would be unable to extract themselves from it.

This was the characteristic behavior of the Charm Ape.

The Charm Ape was a Demonic Beast that was an expert in illusions. It could create large-scale illusions, and torment the opponent to death in those illusions. However, this did not mean that they were weak beasts. Despite its somewhat feminine name, its physical body was quite tough and extremely powerful. It had powerful close-quarter combat Origin Skills and could do battle long-distance via its illusion techniques. It was definitely one of the most headache-inducing Demonic Beasts.

Because of this, the Demon Ape’s bloodline was a rare treasure among humankind, and many Origin Qi Scholars pursued it crazily.

That year, the Immortal Temple had used the Demon Ape’s bloodline to obtain Li’s loyalty.

Although it was only a mixed bloodline, Li’s strength still greatly increased because of it. His illusion techniques and his rise into the Blood Boiling Realm was directly related to his Charm Ape Bloodline.

Once, Li had believed that apart from those with the backgrounds of nobility, not many experts had the right to force him to use his bloodline’s power.

He never expected that today he was even forced to utilize his bloodline to deal with a mere junior.

“Die, all of you!” Li said savagely.

As he spoke, Li’s originally skinny and weak body actually instantly began to swell. Large muscles began to appear, and his body surged with power. Li’s entire body swelled like it had been pumped full of air.

In his hand, a staff made out of Origin Energy began to form.

Upon seeing this scene, Su Chen’s expression also became solemn.

Blood Boiling Realm cultivators were Blood Boiling Realm cultivators not just because their Origin Power was slightly stronger than Qi Drawing or that their physical body was stronger. Rather, the gap between these two realms allowed one to activate a bloodline’s true power.

Those with boiling blood could have boiling bloodlines as well!

What kind of strength would be released if a bloodline began to boil? It varied from person to person and bloodline to bloodline, but regardless of what kind they were, it wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

As for Li, who was clearly on the path of a mage, actually displayed close-quarter combat tendencies upon boiling his bloodline. This cause Su Chen quite a great deal of surprise.

Although the Charm Ape was not weak in close-quarter combat, it still fundamentally relied on illusions. One could only say that Li, who had a mixed bloodline, was unable to really manifest the Charm Ape’s strengths. Even so, the power that it conferred still gave Su Chen quite a bit of pressure.

At this moment, Li swung the Origin Energy staff and harrumped, “Smelly brat, I will tear you to pieces!”

As he spoke, he slammed the Origin Energy staff towards Su Chen’s skull, leaving behind a staff shadow.

Iron Cliff yelled loudly and rushed over. Li didn’t avoid it, directly raising his barrier and forcefully intercepting the blow. The blood aura caused the barrier to collapse and it continued to strike onto Li’s body. However, his body was as tough as a rock, and the cut was superficial. Although the barrier had absorbed most of the force behind the blow, the powerful defensive abilities of his muscles were still shocking.

At this same time, Li struck out with his staff thirteen times in a row, all landing on the Melted Golden Armor. As the blows hammered down, Iron Cliff was forcefully launched into the air. Next, Li hurriedly retreated, simultaneously dodging Su Chen’s attack and swinging the staff once again. This time, it actually passed through the metal-eating bug’s scythe-like mandibles, landing on its lower jaw and sending it flying as well. A string of movements were quickly and nimbly performed, and they all possessed great strength. It truly did demonstrate the power of a Blood Boiling expert.

Even so, this was not the end. In the next instant, Li waved his hand, and large numbers of Ghostrats once again appeared to bite Su Chen. Next, an illusion technique landed on the metal-eating bug. After all, it was the Charm Ape’s bloodline. Upon activation, even depleted soul strength could be recovered somewhat, allowing Li to once again activate his illusion techniques. Next, he sent a Poisonous Wolf Claw towards iron cliff, sending him flying once again. The Origin Energy staff in his hand began to shoot downwards to the ground.

“Come out for me!”

As he howled, dust flew into the air, and a silver round disk flew into the air.

So Li’s true target was still this Origin Spell Formation.

Just as the Origin Energy staff was about to slam into the silver disk, the silver disk suddenly emitted a glow of light. In this glow, Li’s figure suddenly paused. He was actually slowed down quite a bit, and even his strength decreased as a result.

Su Chen took advantage of the opportunity and pulled out the Flaming Hunter Blunderbuss, sending out shot after shot towards Li.

The skin that had been firm and tough was actually instantly penetrated by the profound bullets. Li’s body was already like a sieve, and suddenly a bunch more holes appeared. Even though Li had applied Pain Impairment to himself, he couldn’t help but howl in pain, “Bloodline suppression?”

“What rubbish!” Su Chen coldly laughed.

Since the Clarity Bead could resist illusion techniques, why did he still need to arrange an Origin Spell Formation anyways?

Naturally, this was because the Origin Spell Formation could not only defend against illusion techniques but could also be used for other things. For example, it could counteract curse-like attacks like the Black-Yellow Plague, or it could also be used to counteract illusion bloodlines!

That was right. Since he had already made so many preparations, Su Chen could not have forgotten about dealing with Li’s Charm Ape bloodline.

This Origin Spell Formation disk was designed to suppress the Charm Ape bloodline.

Unfortunately, the Origin Spell Formation disk mainly suppressed illusions. The strength that Li had received from the Charm Ape bloodline was mostly physique-based, so its full potential could not be completely displayed. Even so, it could still suppress it to a certain degree.

Although Li had been injured, his savage attitude had not decrease. Once again, he howled, “OPEN!”

He once again activated an illusion technique, and four Li’s simultaneously appeared, while four Origin Energy staffs struck down towards the metal-eating bug, Iron Cliff, Su Chen, and the Origin Spell Formation disk. Su Chen was unable to tell which one was the real one.

This time, he made sure to sell the whole package. The four Li’s were entirely identical.

However, Su Chen didn’t need to determine which was real.

He activated the Cloud-Stepping Boots and the Snaking Mist Steps. He dodged the Li who was attacking himself and the Moon-Swallowing Heavenly Wolf Blade stabbed towards the Li attacking the Origin Spell Formation disk. He didn’t need to worry about anything except protecting the Origin Spell Formation disk.

Bang!

The illusion dissipated.

It was fake.

Su Chen was slightly surprised. This was his first time miscalculating that Li’s true attack would not actually be directed towards the Origin Spell Formation disk.

In that instant, the Li attacking the metal-eating bug suddenly turned around, and the Origin Energy staff struck out towards Su Chen’s chest. “This is the real body!”

Li laughed loudly.

This staff strike was directed straight at Su Chen’s vitals, and he had no way of blocking it even if he activated the Amethyst Battle Armor’s barrier.
