Chapter 1496: Chapter 1496

1496: Chapter 1492: Hunting 1496: Chapter 1492: Hunting “Your companions give you resources because they need you to CARRY THE BURDEN,” Lu Ping’an said.

Although it sounds like a truism, only the ace of each team can consistently meet those expectations.

Lu Ping’an was a support, a very dominant and powerful Abnormal Ability User, yet it couldn’t be hidden that his core abilities were primarily support-related.

He needed a knife, a Sharp Blade effective at any given time.

“Lei Shuiyun has potential, but how much of it she utilizes depends on herself,” he thought.

Whether it was from “Spirit Cat” or her companion “Little Snowball,” she was granted immense stealth, mobility, and also powerful offensive and defensive (short-term) traits.

Naturally, with the cursed item “Death of the Phoenix,” Lu had handed it over to the team’s top assassin.

This was her first time using it for an assassination, and the results were exceedingly better than expected.

“Meow, it hurts, it hurts so much…”

Meow was still complaining, but Lu Ping’an checked her thoroughly and couldn’t find a single injury on her.

When Lu Ping’an achieved a breakthrough to the seventh-tier becoming a true Rule-level Strongman, the first Awakening he experienced was “Bankruptcy Protection”…

In a sense, this was his first essential Abnormal Ability, the evolution of his “Survival Instinct.”

Ultimately, it was the refinement of “As long as I pay Life-points, I will stay alive…”

“Don’t worry, as long as you have points, you cannot die.

I’ve already paid in your investment,” Lu Ping’an comforted the terrified little creature by stroking her cat ears.

Without his ability, she probably would have been dead long ago.

Although Lu Ping’an’s “Bankruptcy Protection” only granted a few seconds of “Undeath,” that casually burned hundreds to over a thousand Life-points.

And after Bankruptcy Protection, if the “Life Company” was to run as usual, naturally, funds were needed for it to operate smoothly.

The more severe the injury, the stronger the victim’s “Life Upper Limit,” the higher that investment would be… For just a few seconds of “Invincibility” and the following “Penalty Fee/Additional Investment,” Lu Ping’an had spent over thirteen hundred points.

“Go on and gloat, this is an invincibility proven in eighth-tier real combat…” Big Cat was, as usual, envious and resentful.

This was where Lu Ping’an’s role as “logistics” became outrageous; as long as he had points, his teammates could truly avoid death.

This ability alone easily made him the core of his team, but if misused, Lu Ping’an would soon face bankruptcy—it was undoubtedly a power meant for decisive battles.

“Is it dead, Meow?” Meow fussed for a while and after confirming thoroughly that there wasn’t a single injury on her, she nodded satisfactorily and inquired about that Overlord-level creature that had escaped with severed limbs.

Lu Ping’an felt subtle; this time he had played a proper support role.

Overlord-level creatures had outrageously strong Life Forces, usually only “Dissolving its Core Rules,” “Depleting all its Life Force,” and “Targeted Restraint Damage” could potentially defeat them.

But that unlucky creature first had most of its core physical structure and organs negated directly by Meow, then it was directly struck by an eighth-tier “Slayer God” Weapon.

It was precisely the master of this little plane, perfectly fitting the “Mortal Killing a Deity” concept of “Longinus,” allowing Lu Ping’an’s naming trait to be exercised to the utmost.

Although that guy ran away using “World Ownership,” the Spear of the Slayer God was still stuck in it; the curse was likely still taking effect.

“And Jesus himself couldn’t pull out Longinus; He was destined to bleed to death…”

The malice from Lu Ping’an and the assassination by Meow successfully resulted in an assassination that was almost perfect.

Without Lu Ping’an’s “Bankruptcy Protection,” without Meow’s Spiritual Piercing, they couldn’t possibly have fixed all eighteen nails during those few seconds of invincibility.

The mythical weapon that Lu Ping’an bestowed, the “Spear of the Slayer God,” obtained the trait of “Extra Damage to the Creator/Savior/Master of the World type of Supreme Deities,” and the base of the Death of the Phoenix further strengthened this trait of “Leading the Supreme Deity toward Death.”

If it survives, it will definitely come after us.

our time will be even shorter.”

The space channel died with its master, just like a Secret Realm losing its Pollution Source.

Even if it did not collapse completely, it would still cause significant problems.

No matter what, he had to retreat…

It was possible that a Quasi-God was already on the way.

If it acted as a fuse, it had surely blown,

Lu Ping’an did not stop moving.

Guided by the fluctuations of the “Slayer God Spear,” he quickly tracked down the residence of the “Stone King.”

But by the time he arrived, all that remained at the scene was a heap of rotten flesh…

This Overlord-level, probably died the most suffocated death.

Lu Ping’an did not linger; creating such a commotion, this exploration had prematurely ended.

Ignoring this small Plane’s Master’s special identity, the sudden death of a frontline battlefield’s highest commander would definitely cause the higher-ups to send someone to investigate, and whoever came would only be stronger than him.

“Hurry, hurry, our time is limited…”

Lu Ping’an opened the courtyard, and let out all the staff.

Even a modest Plane Master still had considerable accumulation and wealth…

and judging from the ordinary Fishmen scattering in all directions, Lu Ping’an did not have much time left.

Rare ore from an abyssal cave?

Stocks of suspected taboo items?

The flamboyant mother octopus?

Lu Ping’an’s craftsmen were quite professional; they even peeled off the gold skin from the bricks, and after twenty minutes…

“Here they come, let’s go.”

Lu Ping’an’s “eyes” spotted the entrance of a gigantic entity, and without hesitation, he initiated Plan Zero, stowed away the Slayer God Spear, and turned to run.

He was fast, but the newcomer was not slow; the colossal monster constantly closed in, forcing Lu Ping’an to accelerate.

Luckily, he had received the Sea God’s Divine Grace…

if it were not for this mighty Sea God’s blessing, but rather the blessing of the previous noob Sea God, it might have stopped working once he left his own world.

When Lu Ping’an stepped into the Abyssal Rift and madly slaughtered his way back to his own world, the entire world behind him wailed and roared.

It seemed, indeed, a Quasi-God had come…

“It seems, only next time…”

Behind him was the already murky Plane Gate, Lu Ping’an was not foolish enough to test how strong the enraged Quasi-God was, nor did he plan to challenge their surveillance ability.

On the first day, a Quasi-God entered the frontline battlefield of Mercury 42…

and was ambushed and severely injured by two prepared Quasi-Gods.

This unprepared entry into the Exotic Realm, in a battle among equally powerful contenders, was akin to a death wish.

But Lu Ping’an guessed that his characteristics were already marked by the other side, and if he wanted to take another look, he had to think of another way.

And in Lu Ping’an’s hands, there were some relatively safe methods, but his current ability was still not sufficient.

“Better to be honest for a while…”
