Chinese professors at the Wizarding Academy

"Jobeck" has moved!

In Gu Chen's eyes, his figure left a dark green afterimage in place, and in less than a second, he had already appeared on his left!

In that instant, "Jobeck's" energized arm pierced Gu Chen's temple like a spear. Its original color as the magic used by the Blood Wizard should have been red, but now it was not red, but a disgusting green!

"Cannot be hit..."

Gu Chen could clearly sense the danger of this attack... This dark green magic contained too much power; if he were hit, he didn't know how many effects it would have!

What else is there to say? If you get hit, you die!

This dark green light contained a mixture of corrosive, freezing, and soul-shaking effects!

Quick! Cunning! Ruthless!

Gu Chen's pupils contracted as he pushed the [Star Gazing Technique] to its limit, and the world seemed to slow down in his eyes in an instant!

It was as if the entire world was slowing down noticeably in an instant, and the mental star trails enhanced by the star-gazing method successfully captured the barely perceptible energy trajectory.

Immediately, Gu Chen twisted his body in an extremely strange posture, narrowly dodging the attack!

A dark green awn grazed the tip of his nose, the resulting gust of wind stinging his cheek.

It's only a matter of millimeters!

At the same time, his right fist slammed upwards!

Just kidding, I'm not the kind of person who stands there and takes a beating!

The moment he was attacked, Gu Chen was ready to retaliate!

Since the chaotic vortex is reacting, we need to address the root cause!

A grayish-white, soul-corroding death aura condensed on the fist!

The first punch that shocked the Black Forest!

This punch had a clear target, aiming directly at the "waist and abdomen" area of ​​Joebeck's energy torso.

Gu Chen observed that there seemed to be a tiny node in the energy flow there, and that the energy flow at this node was slightly sluggish!

"puff!"

Without a doubt, such a counterattack launched at the same time as the opponent's attack is extremely difficult to dodge!

This kind of counterattack is called a counter-attack in boxing!

hit!

The soul-corroding death energy and the dark green energy collided and annihilated violently, producing a dull sound!

"Jobeck" swayed, and the dark green light on its waist and abdomen dimmed for a moment, but then more energy surged from other parts to replenish it.

He nonchalantly reached back and grabbed at Gu Chen's outstretched right wrist.

Gu Chen lowered and lowered his arm, his whole body dodging like a nimble snake. At the same time, his left leg silently sprang out from the shadows, his toes surrounded by dense dark power!

After being tamed by the Grip of Life and Death and interfered with by Chaos, Gu Chen has discovered new ways to use the power of darkness.

This kick was aimed at the back of "Jobeck's" knee! That is, at the weak point in the connection of the energy armor.

"Bang!"

That kick went in again!

"Jobeck" was kicked so hard that he stumbled, and a small gap was opened at his knee by the energy explosion, but it was instantly filled with flowing dark green energy.

He spun around and swept his other arm horizontally, creating a fan-shaped spread of dark green energy blades!

"Tsk...!"

This is an area-of-effect attack! You can't completely dodge it!

Gu Chen could only let out a low shout, his right arm protecting his body, the veins of the life-or-death grip gleaming!

"Hiss hiss hiss—!"

The energy blade struck the halo, producing a teeth-grinding cutting sound.

At this moment, the halo is fluctuating violently!

The halo dimmed and brightened repeatedly as it fluctuated, indicating that the three types of death energy in Gu Chen's Grip of Life and Death were fighting against the dark green mixed power of "Jobeck"!

Fortunately, it held up!

However, Gu Chen was still pushed backward several meters by the enormous force. His sleeves were torn, and several deep wounds appeared on his skin, revealing the bone. But instead of bleeding, the wounds began to flash with a disgusting dark green light!

"Damn...that's disgusting!"

Gu Chen channeled the power in his arm, but the Soul-Eating Death Qi and Necromantic Magic were completely useless!

Fortunately, the power of darkness can work!

Because the power of darkness is direct destruction!

Gu Chen channeled the power of darkness, completely corrupting and devouring the dark green light, but the wound remained...

"Jobeck" pressed his advantage, clasping his hands together in front of his chest, and a highly compressed, dark green energy ball containing countless tiny skull faces rolling and howling instantly took shape!

It pushed towards Gu Chen with terrifying suction and destructive waves!

This is a mixture containing chaotic rules!

If I get hit, who knows what kind of effect it will have!

Gu Chen's eyes flashed sharply!

Simply trying to withstand it won't work... and there's no time to dodge!

Should we try to withstand it with the power of darkness?

No, there isn't that much... but the dark green energy on the other side doesn't seem likely to run out anytime soon...

Therefore, Gu Chen decided to move beyond simple defense!

He slammed his left palm down onto the ground!

"Blood extraction!"

However, this time the target was not "Jobeck", but the dark red fleshy carpet on the ground that was being eroded by dark green energy!

"Buzz!"

As the magic circuit was successfully connected, the dark red fleshy blanket trembled violently. The enormous life energy and death magic contained within it were forcibly extracted and transformed into a thick, dark red blood spring that surged into Gu Chen's left arm!

Of course, this dark red blanket looked like it was covered in flesh and blood, so it was definitely contaminated. An ordinary wizard who dared to do this would immediately explode or have his mind corrupted...

However, Gu Chen is no ordinary person...

After analysis, blood can be absorbed as long as you meet the concept of "blood"!

The moment the dark red energy surged in, it was immediately absorbed!

The entire process happened in the blink of an eye. Gu Chen's right arm instantly swelled up, the veins under his skin bulged, and he turned an unhealthy dark red, but he also gained a brief burst of power!

He faced the dark green energy ball, channeling all the violent energy he had just acquired, along with the three types of death energy and chaotic power from the Grip of Life and Death, into his right fist, and unleashed a fierce punch!

His arms looked like shooting stars!

This is a torrent of energy interwoven with three colors: gray, gold, and black, and surrounded by a dark purple hue!

"BOOM—!!!"

Two energies, vastly different in nature yet equally violent, collided in mid-air!

Without a stalemate, it exploded instantly!

The blinding light engulfed the two, and the violent shockwave exploded in a ring, blowing away and tearing apart all the tents, debris, and even a few apprentices and guards who hadn't had time to escape within dozens of meters!

Even the ground was scraped away, revealing the scorched black soil underneath!

Calcosa and several powerful necromancers had already erected a combined shield, but they were still pushed back by the shockwave, and the shield flickered.

The light and smoke slowly dissipated.

A shallow pit with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared in the center of the field.

Gu Chen knelt on one knee at the edge of the pit, his right arm hanging limply, trembling uncontrollably, the dark golden patterns on his skin flickering with light.

"Cough cough..."

"So hard to kill..."

Gu Chen knew the situation wasn't good... Blood was constantly seeping from the corner of his mouth. The grip of life and death was torn open, and he had even temporarily lost consciousness.

The strain from that attack just now far exceeded my expectations...

Meanwhile, "Jobeck" stood on the other side of the pit.

His body, which was made of energy, appeared much more ethereal, and the runic armor on his body was covered with cracks. The flames in his burning eye sockets had also dimmed considerably.

However, the oppressive aura emanating from him, mixed with the aura of the sealing tower's rules, did not diminish much.

He looked down at the gash in his chest, torn open by the aftershocks of the earlier clash, where dark green energy was slowly healing the wound.

It was as if they were mocking Gu Chen, saying that everything he had done was in vain...

"Not bad...not bad at all!"

"Jobeck's" voice trembled, and you could tell he was extremely excited!

"You actually managed to trigger a counterattack from the power within my domain, and withstand this level of mixed energy collision... Your body, your right arm, will become a sacrifice to a great being!"

He spread his arms, and the dark green aura around him began to swirl wildly, resonating strongly with the dark red fleshy carpet that spread rapidly beneath his feet.

Meanwhile, the dark red fleshy carpet began to boil, and pustules swelled up on it!

Then, the abscess burst open, and out of it emerged monsters of various shapes, pieced together from rotting flesh and bones!

"Roar roar roar!!!"

"ha!"

They were so densely packed that they looked like an endless tide!

They roared angrily!

"Kill them...kill them all!"

"Haha ...

"Jobeck" laughed wildly, then pointed his big hand, and all these monsters rushed towards Gu Chen!

At the same time, the death magic permeating the air became viscous and sticky, greatly restricting movement and the flow of magic.

"Domain... This thing that you can only use on a third-ring wizard, and I actually ran into it..."

"What should we do...?"

The opponent not only constructed their own domain using the sliver of power they had mastered regarding the rules—though it was certainly not as powerful as Ysera's domain—but it was certainly enough to deal with me…

Not only that, the opponent also summoned a large number of flesh and blood monsters, which means that they really have no intention of giving me a way out. They want to use their power to suppress me and trap and kill me with their domain!

Gu Chen struggled to his feet, his heart sinking as he looked at the horde of monsters surging in from all directions and the ever-increasing pressure of the domain.

Should I give up?

Absolutely not!

But I should do something to survive!

Where is the way out?

What should he do...?

"Think about it quickly..."

Gu Chen was under immense pressure at this moment, and his "unyielding will" had long been activated...

His mind was racing, and he was extremely tense!

If we try to fight a war of attrition, I definitely won't be able to hold on.

My right arm is temporarily unusable. Although the chaotic vortex inside possesses unique chaotic power, it consumes a huge amount of energy and has a strong backlash. I'm not sure if I can control it...

That last blow has already destabilized the energy balance inside my right arm once again.

We must break this deadlock! We must find the true weakness in Joe Beck's current form!

His eyes scanned the area rapidly!

At this moment, "Jobeck" hovered behind the monster horde, and at the core of his energy-formed body, where his heart was when he was still human, there was a constantly pulsating dark green light! Its light was significantly deeper than the rest of his body!

"Found it!"

"This is the core... but even though I know the core, how am I supposed to break through it!?"

Clearly, this is the central hub of everything in "Jobeck's" body at this moment.

By observing the internal energy flow, Gu Chen could see that all of its energy flows, domain maintenance, and monster summoning seemed to be closely related to that ball of light.

But the defenses there must be the strongest.

With my current abilities, I'm not sure I can break through it!

"Is this the end of my Witcher tale...?"

The situation seems hopeless; everything here is truly disheartening...

Suddenly, Gu Chen remembered what the tomb keeper had said!

"Wait, the Sealing Tower must be targeting the Silent Throat... and the core of the Silent Throat is chaos..."

He recalled the chaotic rules of the "Throat of Silence," and so, what about the chaotic rules within Jobeck, who was now merging with the rules of the Sealing Tower...?

An extremely risky idea took shape in Gu Chen's mind!

"Yeah, how dare he, a guy who can only merge with the power of rules by relying on the Gray Tower's sealing tower, try to cause trouble for me?"

"The chaotic energy inside my arm is genuinely purified and controlled!"

As soon as the idea flashed through his mind, Gu Chen had a sudden flash of inspiration!

He took a deep breath, no longer trying to dispel or resist the surrounding pressure, and actively relaxed some of the suppression of the chaotic vortex.

Deep within his right arm, the vortex formed by three death forces under the catalysis of the chaotic core seemed to sense the "chaotic" aura of the same origin from the outside world!

Its rotation speed suddenly increased.

And then... a thirsty, greedy feeling came through Gu Chen's arm.

Very obvious!

"That's it!"

Gu Chen's eyes narrowed, and he no longer hesitated.

He poured all his remaining mental energy into the Star Gazing Technique to fully perceive the chaotic rules within "Jobeck" that originated from the "Throat of Silence"!

Immediately afterwards... Gu Chen began to walk forward!

Forward!

He stopped attacking the surrounding monsters and instead focused his remaining strength on defense.

"Blood Shield!"

A massive blood-red shield unfolded, and Gu Chen's face grew increasingly pale!

But Gu Chen kept walking!

He struggled to move toward "Jobeck" through the monster horde, leaving a bloody footprint with each step!

"Jobeck" coldly observed everything before him and let out a sneer!

"Are you crazy?"

"Wanting to be offered as a sacrifice?"

"I will dedicate you to a great being!"

With his roar, the monster horde's attacks became even more frenzied, and at the same time, the deep ball of light on his chest glowed slightly, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Gu Chen.

It's now!

Gu Chen suddenly stopped when he was about fifteen meters away from Qiaobeike.

He raised the Death Grip, which was so badly injured that even lifting it was incredibly difficult. He spread his five fingers and faced Joebeck with his palm, but he did not use any known spells.

The chaotic vortex spun at an extremely high speed, resonating with "Jobeck"!

Gu Chen could clearly feel... his arm wanted to eat!
