CHAPTER 305: CHAPTER 305: PEOPLE OF THE RED FLAME ALLIANCE
Suffering Paperman.
When the holder suffers a fatal injury, the paperman will be consumed, nullifying the fatal harm.
There are ten in total.
It is a magical item given to Baiyu by the Third Prince.
Its value is self-evident.
This arrow pierced through Baiyu’s chest, triggering the effect of the paperman.
In other words.
If there were no paperman, Baiyu would likely already have been shot through the heart by the arrow.
Of course, there’s no "if" in this world.
The man holding the longbow watched Baiyu’s body explode, his blue pupils trembled uncontrollably, and he turned back in a flash.
A huge stone column appeared before him.
Baiyu grasped the edges of the column with both hands and slammed it down on the man’s head, the force so massive that it directly burst open a flower on his forehead.
Bang!
A pleasant striking sound resonated.
The man was swept dozens of meters away, feeling the world spinning. If not for his head having undergone Bone Tempering, it would have exploded from the strike.
Baiyu’s power, akin to a prehistoric beast, filled him with dread.
Retreat!
His teammates are already dead, if he stays here, he will surely end up like his foolish teammates.
This man’s combat prowess has exceeded the average level of the participants, the disparity so vast that even the rules of the game cannot bridge the gap.
He could very well be the combat ceiling of the group who entered.
"I’m just a student without even the strength to truss a chicken, why do all of you want to kill me?"
"You must be a werewolf, aren’t you?"
As soon as the man thought of fleeing, a ghostly voice rose again behind him.
Instantaneously.
The man gripped the longbow tight, throwing it to block behind him.
Thump!
Like a tennis ball hit forcefully by a racket, his body flew sideways once again, crashing through several walls before landing in the ruins.
The longbow could block attacks from swords.
But it couldn’t block the giant stone column Baiyu used to support the house beams.
Is this really the power of a Tier Eight Martial Artist?
At this moment, the man no longer dared to delay, green light rising under his feet as he sprinted towards the garden exit, seeking only to escape the range of this scourge’s pursuit.
However.
Two seconds later, he was struck to the ground again by the stone column.
"Blood Escape Technique! You’re using Blood Escape Technique to travel!!"
Seeing Baiyu transformed into a blood light before him, he couldn’t help but scream loudly.
Blood Escape Technique.
It’s faster than his Wind Step!
Among known Spirit Techniques, it’s one of the fastest.
Various Blood Escape Techniques are widely circulated, but because each use severely consumes Blood Qi and causes serious harm to the body, almost no one employs it.
Only in desperate situations does Blood Escape Technique appear.
"Yes, without using Blood Escape Technique, how could I catch up to you." Baiyu’s face was full of hostility, his cold eyes scanning him up and down, "I just want to find the exit, leave this damn place, but you keep bothering me time after time, do you think I’m easy to bully just because I’m a student?"
What kind of student acts like this, damn it!
The man wanted to curse aloud.
If it weren’t for his werewolf teammates asking for help here, and him being nearby, who would come to provoke this monster!!
"Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding. I know many secrets about the Spirit Realm, we don’t have to fight to the death..."
The man tossed aside the longbow, forcing a grating smile, and raised both hands.
Seeing this.
Baiyu discarded the stone column.
Bang!
The ground smashed, smoke and dust rising.
The man’s eye corner couldn’t help but twitch, is this what you call having no strength to truss a chicken?
"Name?"
"Mo Yue."
"Where from?"
"Red Flame Alliance!"
Baiyu knew of this name.
Red Flame Alliance, another powerful Imperial on the continent adjacent to East Prosperity Imperial, with extensive commercial relations with East Prosperity Imperial. However, as only the major ports of East Prosperity Imperial have ships to Red Flame Alliance, coupled with the sea voyage being prone to encounters with Exotic Beasts.
Baiyu once thought of traveling there, but dismissed it.
Once dreamed of roaming the world with sword in hand, but found the journey too far and didn’t go.
"You’re holding a Werewolf Card, we’re opposing factions, give me a reason not to kill you."
Baiyu sat down nearby.
The effect of "Descent of the Demon Lord" was slowly dissipating.
This bottle of Demon Lord Magic Elixir was one of two he obtained from ruins back then.
Killed a few Demons in the ruins, used one bottle; now this bottle is used.
Both bottles of Magic Elixir were expended under Baiyu’s indulgence.
Of course.
Baiyu still has the formula.
It’s just that the ingredients for Descent of the Demon Lord aren’t easy to find — fresh Earth Demon Dragon Meat, Demon Transformation Grass, these are not easy to procure.
Now in Baiyu’s hands.
The only finished Magic Elixirs left are two bottles of "Rock Defense."
"What do you want to hear? If you let me go, I’ll immediately exit this game, give up all rewards..." Mo Yue hurriedly said.
He truly didn’t want to die here.
"Exit the game? Do you have a way to leave the Ancient Castle?"
Baiyu asked curiously.
"You can leave with magical items, but at great cost. It’s a magical item I’ve contracted, prepared by elders of my family, even if you wanted it, you couldn’t use it."
Mo Yue rushed to explain.
Baiyu nodded noncommittally, "Tell me everything you know, I might consider sparing you."
Mo Yue’s eyes flickered.
Seems this monster doesn’t know everything, possibly inadvertently caught in the Spirit Realm’s tide, or perhaps his backing force isn’t profoundly familiar with the tide.
"This Silent Castle opens once every twenty years, and the castle owner proposes various games..."
To stall for his werewolf teammates’ arrival, Mo Yue began explaining patiently.
"Silent Castle, even in the Spirit Realm’s tide, is a renowned place. It is a fixed mysterious site, with the castle owner showing no hostility towards outsiders.
You can leave if you complete the game.
Winning the game grants rich rewards.
Among them, the most renowned feature of the castle is the life-extending Life-Extending Elixir, a coveted treasure among major forces. Of course, the maximum entrants into the castle can only be Tier Seven Martial Artists or Sequence Seven Extraordinaries, and this trend is tightening, with only Tier Eight Martial Artists generally able to enter these years."
"Is that all?"
Baiyu’s gaze gradually grew impatient, "My time is precious, so..."
"I know the way to win the game! Obtain the keys, eliminate the armored person, collect seven keys, and the castle door will open!"
At this moment.
To buy time, Mo Yue bit down, revealing explosive information, "I got the first key, so I know this information.
Even if you later acquire keys, you won’t receive hints from the castle.
If you spare me, I’ll give you the key."
"Ah, is that so." Baiyu pondered.
"I didn’t keep the key on me, but hid it in a hidden place in the castle. If you kill me, don’t even think about getting this one ..."
Puff!
Before he could finish, a black long knife had already pierced his chest.
Mo Yue unwillingly widened his eyes, glaring at the man before him...
"Sorry, I still want to kill you."
