Chapter 1672: Chapter 1672

"What a powerful attack, truly the strongest among the three, is this a special bloodline? But that’s not right."

Du You’s expression turned serious because the attack just now was actually on par with his own in strength. It’s true, considering that he had already reached the peak of the seventh tier and was beginning to step onto the path of the eighth tier.

Moreover, he was 10-star level, unprecedented, and he had a high-level bloodline.

Regardless of the circumstances, no one at the same level should have an attack that can match his. Even though this wasn’t his strongest means of attack, it shouldn’t be the opponent’s strongest either.

Both sides were just testing each other’s combat power with opening moves, yet it was quite unexpected.

What Du You didn’t know was that the opponent was equally baffled, though devoid of emotion, his intellect was scrutinizing. He knew his own capabilities, and his attack far exceeded his current level.

Yet the opponent’s attack was able to match his own, what kind of method was used?

"Could it be a special bloodline? No, not just bloodline, bloodline alone can’t reach this level. There must also be a special artifact, one that specifically enhances a particular skill or type of skill."

He had no knowledge of anything beyond 9-star levels, so he could only imagine it was some sort of artifact.

Of course, there’s also the possibility of several skills stacking to amplify the power of one skill, which does happen, but is rare. Du You and the opponent both considered this, but it was mere speculation.

At their level, being able to use and stack multiple skills into one is indeed rare. Du You, with a few passive skills, was already considered uncommon.

In an instant, both Du You and the opponent became more serious. The Bloodshadow Third Man waved his hand, and suddenly a series of meteors appeared in the sky, covering Du You. Du You was not to be outdone, launching a volley of Shadow Spirit Light Balls.

The Shadow Spirit Light Balls were aimed at the opponent, not caring about the incoming attack.

The meteors hit Du You but were blocked by his Yuan Power Shield. The black translucent shield kept vibrating from the impacts but didn’t break through. Similarly, Du You noticed a phantom shadow resembling a mountain peak appearing around the opponent.

His Shadow Spirit Light Balls hit it, but also did not break through, only causing rocks to splinter and scatter.

"It’s been a long time since I met an evenly matched opponent." Du You’s eyes lit up, filled with excitement.

While it’s thrilling to crush opponents effortlessly, continuously overpowering them does become tiresome. Coming across an opponent with equal strength was truly exciting.

In his excitement, Du You mixed Shadow Spirit Light Balls with a Dark Flame Arrow Array, persistently attacking the opponent. Similarly, the opponent, called the ritualist, refused to back down, casting spells rapidly.

With this speed, Du You would have mistaken the opponent for a spellcaster like himself if not for the records, or possibly a wizard. Among casters, these were the two with the fastest casting speed.

Du You’s consecutive Soul Pierce attacks were blocked by a black bird summoned by the opponent.

"Why are the attributes so many, and each time it feels different, I get it, that’s how it is. Your power is strong because you prearranged everything here."

Du You surveyed the surroundings, but the opponent, being emotionless, exhibited no expression.

"If I’m not mistaken, you must have made some preparations here beforehand. Sacrificed some items, but they’re in a state of recent sacrifice. During the battle, you directly used the power from the sacrifices to reach this level."

For a sacrificial ritualist, sacrificing is a powerful method, although time-consuming, the power is immense. It’s undeniable that if not for this, the attack wouldn’t be comparable to his own.

Now Du You understood, the opponent used time and sacrifices to bolster his attacks, not something casually done like his own.

But regardless of the reason, the unleashed power was truly astonishing, and it was unclear how many sacrifices the opponent had prepared. "Though I don’t know how many you prepared, there’s definitely a limit."

"You can try, and see if you can outlast me." The Bloodshadow Third Man was equally defiant.

Du You smiled, trying to outlast him in a battle of attrition was a fool’s errand. His magic power recovery was very fast, and without using particularly large moves, there was virtually no risk of running out of magic power.

Moreover, his magic power could be supplied to others. Not to mention, he hadn’t even summoned his beasts yet. While the strength of these three brothers was formidable, it wasn’t enough to make Du You go all out.

The battle continued, the Blood Shadow Boss and Lao Er were already injured, implying they had reached their limits. However, Lao san ignored this as he was emotionless, completely unconcerned about his brothers’ welfare.

The fight had raged on for a whole half-hour, and Du You, not knowing where the sacrifices were, could only attack with full force. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁

Suddenly, Du You noticed a change in his opponent’s behavior. The Bloodshadow Third Man raised his hand, and a finger suddenly vanished, just like that, gone. Yet a streak of crimson light surged towards Du You.

The previously solid Yuan Power Shield was instantly pierced by this light, startling Du You.

Luckily, the Dark Absorption appeared next, blocking this beam of light.

"I had long known that those indigenous ritualists are mad enough to sacrifice themselves, but I didn’t expect a Professional to be as well." Du You’s eyes changed, seeing such cruelty towards oneself was truly brutal.

This guy completely ignored his own condition, directly sacrificing one of his own fingers. This was a finger from a seventh-tier peak strongman, and in that moment, the attack’s power completely exceeded his own.

His Yuan Power Shield couldn’t fully block it, it was terrifying.

Fortunately, his defenses weren’t just one layer, so it was alright. Clearly, the Bloodshadow Third Man hadn’t expected this either. Facing Du You’s Energy Gathering Magic Cannon, he didn’t hesitate, and another finger was gone.

In a hair’s breadth, a red light shield stood in the way, and both the Energy Gathering Magic Cannon and the red shield mutually disintegrated.

Although his Energy Gathering Magic Cannon wasn’t charged, this attack was nonetheless terrifying. Using the sacrificial secret method was truly brutal. For a seventh-tier powerful being, losing a body part wasn’t something easily recovered.
