Chapter 200: Desperate Situation and Opportunity for Counterattack! (Monthly Ticket Request!)
"hateful…"

Yu Zhun took advantage of the momentum of the collision to retreat explosively. Looking at Dong Tu, whose aura was becoming more and more terrifying, his eyes became even more solemn.

At this moment, the equipment all over his body was covered with sealing runes, and each rune blocked the effects of one of his equipment.

The equipment effect of the helmet that limits the damage per second to no more than half of the health value [Fearless] and the equipment effect of the boots that lock the health value [Bloody Bath] are both included.

The weapon that most frequently came into contact with Dongtu's long stick, the [Netherworld Mourning Demon Blade], was now densely covered with four runes.

All the effects of this legendary weapon have been banned.

Although the effects of these rune seals are not permanent, judging from the speed at which the runes fade, it is almost impossible to unseal them in a short period of time.

He was already at a disadvantage in the battle, and as Dongtu demonstrated his sealing ability, he was almost instantly forced into a desperate situation.

"Is this all your strength?"

Dongtu snorted lightly and swung the stick casually. His wildly dancing black hair and luxurious ink-colored robe made him look like a demon.

As he strode towards Yu Zhun, a trace of contempt and disdain appeared in his eyes, "A guy who relies on external things is nothing more than this."

"Don't you also rely on the power of weapons?"

Yu Zhun did not lose the upper hand verbally, but at the same time, the scene of his previous fight with Dong Tu kept flashing through his mind, trying to find flaws in the opponent's abilities.

"The power of weapons?" Dongtu sneered, "Do you think my weapon is the same as yours?"

"Stupid guy."

He shook his head but did not explain much. He stomped his foot and appeared in front of Yu Zhun at a terrifying speed that was almost instantaneous.

"Humph…"

Yu Zhun barely managed to withstand the blow. His body shook violently as if struck by lightning and he flew backwards until he smashed the rocks behind him, only then did he stop.

"Let's finish it."

Dongtu suddenly exerted force with his calves, and the terrifying power instantly covered the ground beneath his feet with spider-web-like cracks. As countless pieces of gravel shattered and flew everywhere, his figure had already appeared in the air dozens of meters high.

"Talisman..."

As Dongtu's deep voice rang out, runes quickly lit up on the long stick, and the number exceeded double digits in an instant.

The next moment, Dongtu let go of the long stick in his hand. His gorgeous robe fluttered in the storm, and his black hair danced wildly as if a demon had come to the world. The long stick swelled in the wind, and in a flash it reached an astonishing length of hundreds of meters.

Dongtu raised his right hand, put his index finger and ring finger together in a sword shape, and pointed fiercely at Yu Zhun below.

"Military robbery!!!"
-
"It is the strongest ability of the Fu Bingzhe lineage, [Weapon Tribulation]!"

Outside the Tianxu Trial, countless fellow disciples who saw this scene clearly couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"This time, that guy named Yu Zhun is definitely finished."

"Yes, yes. When Senior Brother Dongtu uses this move, no one at the same level can stop him."

"Yu Zhun relied on external objects to save his life, but now the power of the external objects has been sealed off by the sealing talisman. He is doomed."

"I think the battle is over."

Listening to the chattering of the crowd, the elders and strong men present smiled at each other and finally looked at one of them.

"Brother Guangxian, your Fubing lineage is really lucky to have a disciple like Dongtu."

Guangxian smiled calmly, but couldn't help feeling proud in his heart.

The talisman soldiers, who refine talismans into weapons, are a relatively common branch of the Tianxu Divine Palace's ability system. Before the appearance of Dongtu, this branch could hardly be compared with other abilities and almost became the lowest class.

But Dongtu made great strides forward with his talent that perfectly matched this lineage, and carried forward the tradition of Fu Bing, making Guangxian, his master, proud of it.

When ordinary rune soldiers cast [Weapon Tribulation], the limit for them to attach 5 runes is 10 runes, but Dongtu can attach more than runes.

The runes of the Rune Soldiers are equivalent to the equipment effects of the Palace of Gods and Demons. Even if the number is doubled, the power caused is far more than just doubling.

Guangxian believed that under this blow from his beloved disciple, the boy named Yu Zhun would surely be wiped out...

Ok?
Looking at the screen, Guangxian's expression suddenly froze.

The cheers and discussions from others also came to an abrupt halt.
-
"boom!!!"

The long stick like a pillar of heaven slammed down, causing the entire valley to shake and roar violently. Endless air waves and smoke were raised, and half of the valley was shattered by this terrifying blow.

Dongtu retracted his sword finger, and his pupils shrank slightly the next moment.

A flash of cold light flashed behind him.

"Pfft-"

【Life-25880】

Dongtu’s health bar was emptied in an instant.

Yu Zhun's figure had left his previous position at some point and came behind Dong Tu. In his hand, the other dagger's purple light slowly dimmed.

[Netherworld Instant Magic Blade] equipment effect, [Hunting Shadow]!
Move in front of the opponent and increase agility by 100% for 5s!

After realizing that Dongtu had the ability to seal the effects of equipment after contact, Yu Zhun's previous weapon collisions were all concentrated on the [Netherworld Mourning Demon Blade], and there was no sealing rune on the other weapon.

The purpose is to switch weapons as soon as the cooldown of [Unparalleled Sword Dance] ends and catch Dongtu off guard!
And now, he did it.

Relying on the effect of this equipment which had never been used in front of Dongtu before, Yu Zhun easily dodged the terrifying attack just now. At the same time, he drew his sword boldly when Dongtu's weapon fell out of his hand and his mind relaxed!

"Click——"

A rune lit up and shattered in an instant.

A strange smile appeared at the corner of Yu Zhun's mouth.

"This is your third life-saving rune, right?" Yu Zhun said calmly, "Although I don't know your abilities, these three runes are different and are obviously one-time use."

"So, how many runes do you have left?"

Dongtu's pupils shrank slightly, and he stretched out his hand to recall the long stick in the [Military Robbery] state, but a layer of gray area covered it in an instant.

[Thorn of the End] exclusive skill, [Assassin's Field]!
Increase agility by 80%, and reduce the agility of hostile targets in the area by 40%, lasting for 15s!

As the fight became more difficult, the skills that Yu Zhun had initially used had gradually finished cooling down.

Seizing the moment when Dongtu's weapon had not returned, Yu Zhun attacked again.

"Pfft!"

【Life-25880】

The fourth life-saving rune shattered!
Dongtu's eyes suddenly became serious.

Everyone in his family knows his own business. He only has seven runes to save his life. This is a special set of runes called [Seven Star Death Talisman]. It cost him a lot just to condense them.

And now, more than half of the [Seven-Star Death Talisman] has been consumed!

calm down!

He has blocked all of his opponent's means of survival. If he succeeds once, the opponent will surely die.

In this battle, I will definitely not be the loser!

"Snapped!"

The long stick returned to Dongtu's hand, and his momentum continued to rise with the blessing of a large number of runes.

Yu Zhun's eyes suddenly focused and he attacked again without hesitation.

[Netherworld Instant Blade] equipment effect, [Instant Blade]!
Move 5m in the specified direction and attack all enemies on the path!
"Ping--" accompanied by a metallic explosion, Yu Zhun's figure instantly appeared five meters away. The forced attack during the displacement process once again emptied Dongtu's blood bar, causing his fifth life-saving rune to shatter on the spot!

But Yu Zhun's expression did not relax, but became more solemn.

Because, at this moment, two forbidden runes suddenly appeared on his [Netherworld Instant Demonic Blade].

The equipment effects blocked by these two forbidden runes are [Hunting Shadow] and [Instant Bloom] that were just used!
"Do you really think that it can only be sealed if it is touched by a weapon?"

Dongtu turned around slowly and looked at Yu Zhun who was standing there in a daze.

"I'd like to see…"

"Next, what else do you have?"

As he finished speaking, four sealing runes appeared on each of Yu Zhun's equipment, densely covering the equipment.

All equipment effects are blocked at the same time.
-
"Hey, your companion is finished."

Looking from afar at Yu Zhun, whose equipment effects were blocked, Nan Xi smiled gloatingly, "It's his bad luck to run into Senior Brother Dongtu."

"But you don't have to worry too much." Nan Xi looked at Udyr not far away, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "You are dead too."

Udyr pursed his lips, looked worriedly at the battle on Yu Zhun's side, and then a determined look appeared in his eyes.

"I believe that Yu Zhun won't lose so easily."

She spoke calmly, then stepped on the light pattern, and as her figure flashed, countless arrows shot towards Nan Xi from different angles.

"You've tried so many times, but you still won't give up?"

Nan Xi clicked his tongue and the folding fan in his hand spun, transforming into an impenetrable shield that blocked all the arrows.

"Your arrows cannot penetrate my defenses."

"And..." Nan Xi paused, "I'm really disappointed that your ability to become stronger when facing a stronger opponent is no longer usable so soon."

Udyr kept silent and continued to shoot arrows.

After entering combat mode once again, she did not use her talent [Adaptive Adaptation] again.

Because she is waiting for the best time.

And now...

Looking at Nan Xi's disdainful expression, Udyr's eyes flashed.

She waited.

A barely perceptible streak of light flashed in Udyr's hand, and the next moment, an arrow that looked no different from the other arrows, mixed in with the rain of arrows, shot towards Nan Xi.

When the arrow was about to touch Nan Xi's spinning folding fan weapon, it suddenly disappeared, as if it was traveling through space, passing over Nan Xi's folding fan weapon and shooting straight towards Nan Xi's chest.

[Fairy Archer] exclusive skill, [Warp Arrow].

Nan Xi's pupils suddenly shrank and his expression suddenly became shocked.

At the same moment, Udyr's eyes turned fierce.

【Adapt to circumstances】, start!

Please, I have to have better luck this time!!!

During Udyr's prayer, lines of text appeared.

[Level X1 talent [Adaptive Adaptation] takes effect! ]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the professional talent that can restrain the opponent! ]

[Obtain temporary talent: [Arrow of Silence] (level 1 x)]

[Arrow of Silence: Attack causes an additional 1 second of undispellable silence to the target, preventing the target from using skills]

The moment he obtained the [Arrow of Silence], Udyr shot an unexpected arrow, piercing Nan Xi's chest.

A silence symbol instantly appeared above Nan Xi's head.

The rapidly spinning folding fan came to an abrupt stop, and the pattern on it quickly changed into a new appearance as Udyr's ability increased. Nan Xi's ability to become stronger when facing a stronger opponent took effect, allowing him to gain new abilities.

But, it doesn't make sense anymore.

Countless arrows fell like a rain curtain, instantly covering Nan Xi.
-
The magnificent golden beam of light slowly dissipated.

In the beam of light, Hermod held the staff in one hand and tightly grasped Cuiwei's neck with the other hand. There was a god-like indifference and cold murderous intent in his golden eyes.

"Now, the game is over."

"You..." Cuiwei looked at Hermode whose blue bar was exhausted, and saw her own blue bar being exhausted for the first time and her own health bar being almost gone. A look of horror finally appeared on her face.

"How did you guess that?"

"You said that your strength is the lowest among the people who came in." Hermod said calmly, "This sentence reminded me."

"Your ability is probably not as strong and unstoppable as I thought. It just happens to restrain me for some reason."

"I have a teammate named Udyr." Hermod said slowly, "She has the talent to restrain her opponent."

"In the past two days, I let her use this talent on me 219 times. I recorded every situation in which she restrained me and considered ways to counter it."

"Your ability happens to be similar to one of them."

"The reason why your mana can continuously withstand my attacks without running out is not because of your high tankiness."

"It's because your ability is to make the percentage of your current mana not lower than that of your opponent."

"The mana you reduced is actually because my mana has been decreasing with the use of equipment effects, so it has decreased."

"My eyes were always on your mana bar, but I subconsciously ignored my own mana bar. In addition, you have the ability to restore mana, so the blue bar is in a state of constant change, which confuses my judgment."

"No." Hermod suddenly shook his head. "If you only have this ability, you can't possibly enter here."

"If my judgment is correct, your ability should not be limited to mana, but a specific attribute." Hermod looked at Cuiwei calmly, "It's just that when you fought me, you specified the attribute as mana."

"My talent dictates that I must clear the mana bar before affecting my health."

"When you lock up your mana, you are indirectly locking up your life."

"I have to say, your idea is very good." Looking at Cuiwei whose face was getting uglier and uglier, Hermod chuckled and said, "But you didn't expect that I would use self-injury to deplete my mana bar."

"Without mana, you can no longer use any skills."

"If you can change the specified attribute from mana to life now, you may be able to fight with me to save your life." Hermod paused slightly, "It seems that you don't have this ability."

"So, goodbye forever." The staff in Hermod's hand glowed again, and his skills were poured onto Cuiwei without reservation.

Cuiwei, who had no mana, suffered the full amount of damage from Hermod, and her health bar was emptied in just a moment.

A glimmer of light passed by, and Cuiwei's life-saving item was knocked out.

Once, twice...

In the end, Cuiwei, who had lost all her life-saving props, turned into a ball of light with an unwilling look and disappeared on the spot.

it is finally over…

Hermod breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Udyr who killed Nanxi almost at the same time on the other side.

After looking at each other, they both turned their gazes towards Dongtu.
