Chapter 1469: Chapter 1469

Seeing this scene, Du You felt relieved, but Ruski was displeased. Despite his preparations, he couldn’t even defeat three opponents, two of whom were slaves.

According to intelligence analysis, under normal circumstances, how could two slaves be so incredibly strong? Moreover, Du You’s displayed strength was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Ruski’s heart was not only filled with jealousy, but also deep fear and anxiety.

Clenching his teeth, Ruski crushed the pendant hanging in front of his chest. In the next moment, Du You clearly felt his opponent’s overall enhancement. The battle, which had been evenly matched, suddenly turned into him being overwhelmed by his opponent.

His Defensive Barrier and Dark Absorption kept appearing automatically around him. If he hadn’t focused so much on defensive power, he might have been injured by his opponent already. Now, Ruski felt even more depressed.

How afraid of death was Du You? His magic defenses were so powerful, and he had two of them, both elevated to the peak of the sixth tier. Isn’t that a waste?

Apart from Du You’s situation, who would spend a great deal of money to enhance two overlapping skills to such an extent?

The result was that he wasted a very precious treasure, and yet he could only suppress Du You in battle. This was subject to a time limit. If Du You wasn’t dealt with within the time limit, the situation would revert to what it was before.

Ruski intensified his attacks while Du You felt immense pressure. Under this pressure, Du You gradually mastered his newly acquired power. Unbeknownst to him, his attacks started to carry a special aura.

This aura continuously strengthened and enhanced. Suddenly, Du You entered a special state. Fresh chapters posted on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥

Several Shadow Spirit Light Balls flew out from his side, but these Light Balls were clearly different this time.

Several of Ruski’s Doppelgangers, just like before, struck the surface of the Shadow Spirit Light Balls with their swords, but this time, they didn’t split them open. Instead, the swords got stuck, and then the power from the Light Balls flung several Doppelgangers away. Ruski finally noticed something was off about Du You’s expression, and had a hunch about Du You’s current state.

"Damn, how could this happen." Ruski hurriedly retreated, no longer pursuing the attack.

"You’ve also broken the shackles and even understood the Law, hiding it so deep."

"Haha, just by chance, otherwise, I wouldn’t dare oppose you, right?" Du You also did not pursue further.

Ruski took a deep breath. This time, after such a lengthy planning and wasting a precious treasure, it was all for naught. But the current circumstances no longer allowed him to continue the fight.

Suddenly, Ruski raised his hand high: "Stop, we are leaving."

The previously smug person panicked: "Lord Ruski, give us a chance, we can definitely win."

"Shut up, we are withdrawing." After speaking, Ruski did not care about the rest as he turned and left. Others, though they did not understand, could only follow in retreat. Even if they were unwilling, they had no choice.

"Lord Ruski, what is the reason? Leaving doesn’t let us explain well when we return." A high-status man spoke.

"That Du You, the intelligence on him was inaccurate. He has already understood the Law."

"That’s impossible, I don’t believe it." The others glanced at him, but no one responded. Whether you believe it or not, understanding the Law is understanding the Law, today’s battle cannot be fought.

If neither side had understood the Law, they could still continue fighting. If both had breached the seventh tier, they could also keep fighting. In the current scenario, nobody on either side dared to continue.

Meanwhile, Du You watched as these people retreated. Although he wanted to detain them, he dared not act rashly. However, people from the Shadow Council could not be left behind, unlike those from the Dark Guardian Family.

"Hmph, they can leave, but you cannot." The Dark Guardian Family, already no match for him, were now in a predicament.

"Wait, we surrender, we can pay a price for our lives."

Feeling irritated, Du You then said, in a world where he needed nothing more, "Kill them."

At his command, all Summoned Beasts and even he himself began to fight. Now fully committed, these upper-class members of the Dark Guardian Family were swiftly annihilated, even though some desperately fought back.

As for the headquarters of the Dark Guardian Family, there was no need for him to take action, as Du You believed Ruski would not ignore it.

"Master, why aren’t we pursuing them?"

After calming his emotions, Du You then said: "That guy has also understood the Law, just like me, only superficially."

"Even if they’ve comprehended it, they’re not our match. We just need to hold them back and give us time; we can definitely eliminate them. Now that they’ve left, Master, your dual professions have been exposed too early."

Du You had intended to wait until after reaching the seventh tier to expose them, but now had no choice but to reveal them prematurely.

Lin Yucha, annoyed, tapped her younger sister’s head: "I told you to read more, now in this situation, merely understanding a bit of Law doesn’t meet the requirement, but having comprehended the Law is bona fide."

"Once it comes to a life-and-death situation, you can break directly to the seventh tier, which becomes very dangerous."

"Whoever among us is the first to break through the seventh tier, the other also must breakthrough. However, mere understanding of the Law is not enough to meet the requirements, and after breaking to the seventh tier, there is no possibility of further enhancement."

Before entering the seventh tier, the more Laws understood the better. Breaking through with just one Law is possible, but the maximum is the peak of the seventh tier, almost impossible to enter the eighth tier. For the sake of the future, few people opt for this route.

Unless one’s foundation is indeed very weak, unable to comprehend even when the Law is before them, then there is no way.

Moreover, the Law they now understand is only superficial, nowhere near meeting the requirements for advancement. Although this type of advancement can be forcibly broken, once broken through, the rank is fixed, and one cannot progress further.

This situation is the weakest among all seventh tiers, and something all talented people are unwilling to take. But in a life and death situation, one can only opt to break directly, hence this battle cannot continue.

Originally, they were scrambling for things to enhance themselves in the future. Therefore, no one would want to ruin their prospects by fighting a battle now. In this special state, it’s like beating a wolf with a stick – fearful on both ends.

"Oh, so that’s how it is." Lin Yushi nodded. She finally realized what Du You was concerned about.
