Chapter 546: Chapter 546

Fengcao was also bewildered. He had never seen a mage cast a spell as quickly.

If a magic tool had been used, that would be one thing, but Du You hadn’t used anything at all, he had just cast the spell. The effect from the Seal Magic Ball had just ended, and he was able to finish casting a spell instantly. What was going on?

Still, there was no time to think about it now. All Fengcao could do was focus his Dou Qi onto his body and swing his sword with all his might. No, not sword, but swords. His four arms all wielded swords, making four swings in total.

Almost simultaneously, black stars began to swirl around Du You. 512 stars spinning at high speed, so dense, it almost attracted all the surrounding light into it, shrouding the surroundings in a light-absorbing darkness.

Fengcao screamed, his entire body was instantly shattered by the black stars into tiny fragments, then turned into a pulp, and finally into a blood mist, completely consumed and dissipated by the energy, leaving nothing behind almost instantly.

Even the long sword in his hand had been shattered into dust and disappeared. This was the first time Du You had witnessed how terrifying his Star Guardian’s attack power could be. It seemed he had underestimated this move in the past. Orıginal content can be found at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵

It’s a pity that these dark stars can’t be used for external attacks, they could only bound around him.

Fengcao was shattered, but the Dou Qi slash he had sent out earlier did not disappear. Because it was released at close range, Du You’s defense didn’t block all the Dou Qi. The stars shattered two streams of Dou Qi, but two others passed through the defense of the Star Guardian and hit Du You’s shoulder and chest hard.

At this point, Du You was not wearing powerful defensive armor.

The only defensive equipment had only slightly weakened the Dou Qi, and in the end, this force hit Du You’s body. A special force began to flow throughout his body almost simultaneously as Du You got pushed back, grimacing in pain.

This force completely blocked the Dou Qi slash. Du You felt some pain in the areas he got hit, and he was forced to retreat, but he didn’t face any other problem.

The three seconds quickly passed, and his Star Guardian disappeared. Du You took a deep breath, that was too close of a call.

"Thank goodness I have an attribute of +20 Physical Resistance, +18 Magic Resistance. Otherwise, I would have been seriously injured.", thought Du You, when he realized that the peculiar power defending him was due to his attributes.

Dou Qi isn’t a physical attack, it’s a type of energy attack. Pure Dou Qi Slash carries an energy attacking spell; therefore, magic resistance plays a major effect. His magic resistance is 18, while his opponent is a level 20 Quicksand Soldier, making absolute resistance impossible. Coupled with his equipment’s defense, this barely blocked it, but he still felt the pain.

On the contrary, if a typical warrior uses their strongest method of attack, imbuing their weapon with Dou Qi and directly attacking, it would be a physical attack, against which he would be more resistant.

"Lord, are you okay?" Luo Jia and the others ran towards Du You. The most anxious were the soldiers trained by the citizens, even though they were still fighting, they couldn’t help but look over at Du You.

Du You shook his head: "I’m fine, continue fighting." After saying that, Du You even got up and walked a few steps forward to prove he was okay. With that, the soldiers finally felt reassured.

And when they felt relieved, the soldiers’ eyes turned bloodshot and they fought even more crazily.

Their lord had been injured, it was a disgrace to them. That’s how devoted these soldiers were. On the contrary, the citizens who came later only breathed a sigh of relief when they found out that Du You was okay, temporarily suppressing their urge to flee.

However, there were still a few people who had already fled to God knows where.

Du You would let Shaliya handle these matters in the future. Du You looked back. He had blown a hole in his own Rune City Wall. To be precise, it was blown out by his Star Guardian.

The power of the Star Guardian was truly terrifying.

When Du You killed Fengcao, Shali, in the small forest, suddenly turned to run.

Dou Qi suddenly solidified on Shali’s body, forming a layer of grey armor, as if carved from stone. This layer of Dou Qi armor had an extremely horrifying defensive ability.

"Running away? Stay where you are! Rapid Shot." Lin Yushi’s hand twitched as she pulled the bowstring.

A series of 19 red, lightning-shaped arrows pierced Shali’s back. Her defense had increased after using Rock Armor, but her speed had slowed and her agility greatly reduced.

Lin Yushi’s lightning attack happened to be incredibly fast as well, without any chance to dodge. Consecutive attacks almost made Shali fall to the ground, causing many cracks to form on her armor.

Feeling a large amount of Dou Qi dissipation, Shali sped up. But no sooner had she taken two steps than vines suddenly grew beneath her feet. Blood red Bloodsucking Demon Vines hindered Shali’s escape.

While Shali was struggling with the Bloodsucking Demon Vines, two arrows flew towards her, one in front and one behind. The first arrow hit the spot on Shali’s back that was already damaged which led to the formation of a powerful vortex.

A vortex spontaneously generated in the void, as if a large millstone had crushed the armor on her back. Speaking of which, it shows the powerful defense the Rock Armor held since it had been able to resist the whirlpool arrow.

Unfortunately, after the continuous attacks, the Dou Qi armor ultimately failed to hold on. The moment the armor shattered, another arrow hit Shali’s back, and this time, there was no Dou Qi to protect her.

The arrow slashed through with a horrifying penetrating power, piercing Shali’s body without missing a beat. The next moment, Shali’s complexion changed, turning somewhat black. "How is this possible, how did I get poisoned?"

Yes, Shali was poisoned. Even sandpeople like her could be poisoned. Even Lin Yucha herself did not expect this. Her Deadly Snipe coupled with the poison from the Flying Snake Ring had boosted each other. Even the highly poison-resistant Sandpeople could not withstand and was actually poisoned. However, the poison was not the most lethal.

The most lethal was that the arrow had pierced Shali’s heart. Shali forced herself to run a few steps until she finally collapsed on the ground due to her exhaustion, truly dead this time.

"A leader is indeed different, having learned more skills at the same level. It’s quite tricky." Lin Yushi murmured quietly.

"Let’s quickly deal with the trouble here and then go towards the master." Lin Yucha didn’t plan to linger on this topic.
