Chapter 832: Chapter 832
As soon as the enemy initiated the attack, Du You had already sensed it. After all, he had once directly crushed two Martial Gods in Liang Country, one of whom was the strongest among the three empires.
If the opponent didn’t have some special trump card, they definitely wouldn’t have charged out so rashly.
The greatest strength of a Tian Gang Martial Artist lies in their attack, in their burst of power, so it was probably in this aspect. Although Du You didn’t know where the opponent’s confidence came from, he knew he had to be more cautious.
So the moment he released the defense, Du You hid himself. Sure enough, two layers of defense, two fourth-tier defense magics, were forcefully pierced by the enemy’s two arrows. If he hadn’t dodged just now, he would have been close to death if not already dead.
Who could have thought that, despite there clearly being only one shot fired, two arrows appeared simultaneously, with one hidden behind the other. Such an attack was simply too devious. Probably those two arrows were also out of the ordinary. Blocked by his defense, they didn’t break upon the clash of such intense forces, remaining intact.
But Du You was no longer concerned about that—what he needed now was to attack.
Xiaozi, who had been prepared in the sky, dove down, with Thunder and Lightning already gathered, and hurled nine Thunder Light Orbs at the enemy.
No one could have anticipated the bird’s attacks would be so terrifying. Zhou Ling burst forth with Gang Qi, struggling to defend himself. But after nine Thunder Light Orbs, Zhou Ling’s Gang Qi was still shattered.
What Zhou Ling failed to notice was that not far away, on the ground, a scorpion appeared, its body suddenly turning pitch black. The Death Raid, a suicidal move, was executed once again.
Since a Tian Gang Martial Artist is inherently fragile, possessing strength only in their Gang Qi, that’s why Du You had chosen such a trap.
No sooner had the Gang Qi been destroyed than the Death Scorpion seized the opportunity to gently pierce the opponent. Moments later, poison spread throughout. Zhou Ling felt numbness and searing pain throughout his body and understood the severity of his condition.
"Despicable, to use poison," Zhou Ling thought bitterly. The records had never mentioned Du You using such a tactic before. Finally unable to resist, he was claimed by Du You’s Dark Flame Arrow Array.
"Nothing good, as expected low levels just don’t cut it," Du You said, opening the round ball that had just exploded forth, and curling his lip in disdain.
On the opposing wall, seeing their own Martial God so easily killed, all the people fell silent. Du You didn’t advance, instead waiting, collecting the body properly, and then preparing to unleash Destruction Flames, to wear down the enemy’s defenses.
With the Martial Gods dead, those remaining were even less of a match, only able to wait for death as they held on.
Shortly after, the two sisters returned to the scene. As soon as Du You was attacked, they had started back at the first opportunity. It’s just that due to the great distance and the lack of Space Arrows left behind, their return was delayed.
"Master, are you alright, did you get hurt?" Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi hurried over.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine, look, this is the body of a Martial God from Gu Country. See if there’s anything that can be used," Du You said as he brought out the body, and only after noticing that there were no injuries on Du You did the relieved sisters finally shift their gaze away from him.
As soon as they made the transfer, the two sisters felt a special fluctuation surging around them. Having experienced it many times before, they naturally knew that this was advancement material for themselves.
Indeed, in a world that had not undergone large-scale development, the likelihood of encountering advancement materials was greater.
Once this kind of material had been used by someone, it became useless to others who found the same material later on. It took countless world cycles in the eternal recurrence to cultivate a batch of advancement materials that could be used.
"This arrowhead?" Both sisters exclaimed almost simultaneously, but they were pointing at different ones.
"Haha, so these two arrowheads are the real gifts, huh?" Du You laughed. These were the very arrowheads that had been used to attack him initially; he hadn’t expected them to be so uniquely different.
Lin Yushi was the first to pick up the black arrowhead, "This one, Master, I can feel it corresponds to my Hell Blood Demon Thunder."
Hell Blood Demon Thunder? Du You felt incredulous, originally thinking it was related to arrow skills. Unexpectedly, it was this passive skill. Hell Blood Demon Thunder enhanced the power of thunder and lightning, and at the very least, it needed to be used in conjunction with Lightning Arrows. However, for Lin Yushi, this skill was an overall enhancement, amplifying all her abilities.
"And what about you, what does this white arrowhead correspond to?" Du You asked Lin Yucha.
Lin Yucha did not hide anything and said directly, "It corresponds to Spiral Snipe."
"A main combat skill, and your most powerful attack skill at that--that’s great," Du You’s eyes lit up. With this, Lin Yucha could almost bring her full combat strength to bear.
In regular combat, Lin Yucha’s most important skill when fighting solo was Spiral Snipe, as its attack power was incredibly strong. Du You, with a smile on his face, put away both arrowheads.
"Is everything on this guy useless now? Then strip it off," Du You said, looking at the completely softened body and not wanting to touch it. Even if it was his pet’s toxin, it was so strong that he couldn’t be immune to it.
"Wait, there is one more useful thing," suddenly, Lin Yucha found a pair of embroidered shoes on Zhou Ling’s body—a clearly not his own and whose purpose was unclear. However, it was conceivable that this item must have been very precious to Zhou Ling; otherwise, he wouldn’t have carried it with him.
"These correspond to my Rapid Run."
Lin Yushi shook her head, "I don’t feel it’s useful for me." Indeed, even though the two were very similar, the advancement items necessary for their skills were useless; this time it was something useful for her sister.
"Good, then keep it safe. Let’s put away the other things for now, as this guy is going to turn into a skeleton soon."
The venom of the Death Scorpion was extremely terrifying, and Du You decided to strip everything quickly. If the toxin finished corroding the body and then started on the equipment, that would be a waste.
If it weren’t for this guy having reached tier four, while the Death Scorpion was only tier three, differing by a special tier, the same level would mean this guy would almost instantly corrode into nothing but a black skeleton. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵
Onlookers on the distant city walls, their eyes almost splitting with fury, watched as their Martial God’s corpse was desecrated by a group of evil wizards, yet they could do nothing but watch helplessly.
