Chapter 356: Chapter 355: Stratagem
There were plenty of ways to escape. He could, for example, use Instant Teleportation to get away easily. With so many forests around, a single teleport would be enough for General Feng to lose him completely.
What he needed now was a way to kill General Feng—to defeat an expert far beyond his own level! When it came to the Netherworld Empire, every one he killed counted. This was especially true for a Void Spirit expert; if General Feng returned later with another group of elites, it would be a devastating blow to them.
’How should I deal with him?’
A thoughtful glint flashed in Yi Tianyun’s eyes as he considered how he could gain a massive advantage. He immediately began rummaging through his inventory and the shop’s wares. Soon, he found something in the Sin Mall: Level 50 equipment!
Evil God Set: Requires Level 50. Upon equipping, the user can transform into an Evil God at any time. All power increases by fifty times, Defense Power increases by fifty times, and speed increases by ten times. While in Evil God Mode, all attacks become ranged attacks, capable of hitting anything within a ten-li radius, and inflict a burning effect. Critical hit chance increases by twenty percent.
This was a complete upgrade of the Evil Dragon Set. It seemed to be equipment that only appeared after he had purchased the Evil Dragon Set. Above the Sword Master Set, for example, there wasn’t a new set. This was clearly an upgraded version that only became available for purchase after acquiring its predecessor.
Its effects were simply heaven-defying. A fifty-fold power boost, ranged attacks, and even a ten-li attack radius!
However, upon seeing the price tag of one million Sin Value, he could only silently close the Sin Mall. He couldn’t afford it at all. And even if he had a million Sin Value, it would be useless since his level was nowhere near high enough.
It required Level 50, but he was only in his forties. This meant he would have to break through to the peak of the Core Transformation Stage to be able to purchase it. Of course, even then, he had no idea if he could save up a million Sin Value. ’How many villains would I have to kill to earn that much?’
He rummaged around some more. Items like the Celestial Thunder Divine Pearl and other Treasures wouldn’t be very effective here. While some Treasures were quite powerful, they were of little use against General Feng. Their impact would be almost negligible.
’I think I know what to do...’
His eyes lit up. After spending a hefty sum in the shop to exchange for a few things, he quickly transformed into the Evil Dragon. With a roar, he pounced toward General Feng, who was still frantically chopping down trees.
"Perfect timing!" When General Feng saw him, a cold light shot from his eyes. He viciously swung the Celestial Wind Divine Sword in his hand, slashing toward Yi Tianyun.
"Shadow Clone!"
The next moment, Yi Tianyun’s body shuddered violently. After his figure flickered, three more Evil Dragons appeared beside him. They were identical in size and radiated the exact same aura. In an instant, it became impossible to tell which one was the real body.
"So it’s this trick. It’s completely useless against me!"
General Feng’s gaze turned cold, and the Essence Blood in his body began to burn. This time, he unleashed his full power, determined to keep Yi Tianyun here for good. After completely igniting his Essence Blood, his power soared, reaching an extremely high level—it had already broken through sixty million Combat Power!
This was a desperate, all-out burst of power. It would have been a true waste of his burning Essence Blood if he couldn’t even muster this much Combat Power.
After burning his Essence Blood, both his strength and speed increased dramatically. He fiercely swung the Celestial Wind Divine Sword in mid-air, and with a SWOOSH, he vanished.
It wasn’t that he had disappeared; his speed was simply too fast for the eye to follow.
Yi Tianyun could only see a flickering afterimage, making it impossible to track General Feng’s movements. The speed was incredible. After unleashing his full power, General Feng was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of him, bringing his sword down in a vicious slash.
A hurricane of wind solidified into an incomparably sharp blade and slashed down. When it struck one of the Evil Dragons, it sliced through with ease. It was undoubtedly a fake; the Defense Power of a clone was far weaker than the main body’s, so it was easily cut in two by a single strike.
The moment it was bisected, the clone exploded into dust with a BANG. Without pausing, General Feng immediately swung again, slashing toward another Evil Dragon.
CLANG!
The sword felt like it had struck a solid steel plate. He had undoubtedly found his target—this was Yi Tianyun’s true body! Despite the ferocious slash, Yi Tianyun wasn’t sent flying. On the contrary, he managed to hold his ground!
His aura surged in an instant. He had taken the Frenzy Elixir he purchased earlier, which could temporarily double his explosive power. Because his own cultivation was so high, the boost was somewhat limited, so he went a step further and burned his Essence Blood as well.
His Combat Power skyrocketed, but it still fell short of General Feng’s strength; a considerable gap remained between them. Despite the difference in power, Yi Tianyun held on desperately, locked in combat with the general.
The two Evil Dragon Avatars at his side had already charged forward. Both aimed at General Feng and spewed Black Flame.
Two thick streams of Black Flame shot out, immediately enveloping General Feng. However, they only covered his surface and failed to penetrate his body.
"Mere flames, and you think you can harm me?" General Feng sneered. "Are these your clones? No matter how tough you are today, I will still cut you in two!"
A bright glint flashed in the eyes of Yi Tianyun as he fought General Feng. From within the flames spewing from one of the two avatars, an Elixir Pill suddenly glittered. It rode the torrent of fire, passed straight through General Feng’s protective barrier, and sank into his body!
This was no restorative Elixir Pill; it was the Bad Luck Divine Pill!
This Bad Luck Divine Pill was no ordinary Elixir Pill. Most defenses could not stop it from entering the body. Unless it was dodged, it would find its way inside.
When he saw the Bad Luck Divine Pill silently enter General Feng’s body, Yi Tianyun revealed a slight smile and said softly, "Activate, Bad Luck Divine Pill!"
Ding! Successfully activated the Bad Luck Divine Pill’s effect. Duration: five minutes!
The words had barely left his lips when General Feng, who was slashing toward him repeatedly, suddenly felt something wrong inside his body. Then, the green Dragon Scales on the surface of his body began to tremble before suddenly vanishing. At the same time, a power erupted from within him!
SPURT!
Streams of blood spurted from the surface of his body. General Feng let out a miserable shriek and fell from the sky. He tumbled in mid-air before crashing to the ground.
"What’s going on? I... I’m suffering a backlash!" General Feng was horrified.
Absorbing too much foreign Essence Blood carried a risk of backlash during normal energy circulation. However, with proper control, this could be avoided. The probability was usually quite low, but unfortunately for him, he had just been hit with the Bad Luck Divine Pill, which instantly magnified that probability by several, or even more than ten, times!
