Chapter 613 - 610: Time for Counterattack
Bai Pu thrust his spear forward, and Cyan Vault instinctively shook his Ice Wings, dodging to the side.
Transparent thorn spikes instantly pierced the skin, even the phantom of blood scattering could be seen!
[You are affected by ’Activated Thorns.’ Based on your movement speed, you have lost 280 Life Value. This Life value loss is not reduced by any Damage Reduction Skills whose priority does not exceed (10), nor absorbed by any Shield Skills whose priority does not exceed (10).]
"Damn."
Cyan Vault cursed under his breath; he would have been better off staying still, attempting to deflect Bai Pu’s attack.
If he succeeded in deflecting, the rebound damage paled in comparison to the current loss of 280 Life Value.
The loss of Life Value was secondary; the most important was the soul-piercing pain!
Distracted, Cyan Vault’s Spirit faltered, unable to block Bai Pu’s second strike, causing the short spear to pierce his shoulder socket.
The Shield shattered, leaving a bloody mark on the shoulder socket!
A chain reaction occurred; after taking the second spear, Cyan Vault staggered, losing his footing, with an even larger exposed flaw.
He kicked backward, attempting to leverage momentum to regain balance. This was supposed to be a clever move to turn defeat into victory, but Bai Pu’s left hand wielded the Hand Guarding Staff, which moved through the air.
Block!
Bai Pu read Cyan Vault’s intention; this strike carried no additional Power but applied Soft Strength! Cyan Vault felt like he kicked a dry branch coated with glue, with a sticky resilience.
Ultimately, he couldn’t dodge Bai Pu’s next short spear thrust.
Thud!
The short spear penetrated flesh, blood spurted.
Final Breath accumulated to 2 stacks, Wall of Despair accumulated 1 stack.
Having gained 6 points in Attack Speed, and 3 points in fixed Damage Reduction, Bai Pu acted again, the spear tip enveloped in the phantom of a collapsing mountain, with three sharp Combat Qi slashes faintly visible.
Three Kingdoms Level 7 Effect.
[Shattering Country: Enhances your Three Kingdoms skills with Mountain Shattering Special Effect, stab damage, secondary throw damage, and aftershock range damage will completely damage Shield Skills with no more than (9) priority, and cause equipment damage to related parts.]
At this moment, Cyan Vault had completely lost the initiative, his body out of balance, unable to dodge!
However, Cyan Vault’s gaze remained unpanicked.
On his surface, a layer of dark golden light circulated, rapidly extending behind him, forming a soul phantom identical to Cyan Vault himself.
The spear tip entered the body, and three sharp Combat Qi penetrated, guided to the soul phantom instead.
Crack, the soul phantom shattered like glass, bearing the blow for Cyan Vault.
-4603!
The terrifying damage figure made Cyan Vault’s eye twitch.
"Luckily, my equipment is luxurious enough, this Dark Gold accessory [Faceless Soul Stone] saved my life! Now, it’s time to counterattack!"
Cyan Vault’s eyes flashed with determination, exploiting Bai Pu’s brief moment of stiffness after executing the Mystical Arts, the Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd shook, dozens of spear movements gathered before Bai Pu, with the phoenix wings acting as excellent interference, making it hard to distinguish reality!
[Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd] includes the third skill, Life-taking Three Techniques!
Ding ding ding ding ding—
Sounds of metal clashing resounded, Bai Pu’s Steel Skin had dozens of white marks, a series of single-digit damage numbers appeared.
Cyan Vault was not discouraged; the first move of the Life-taking Three Techniques "Phoenix Nod" merely sets the stage, the damage was low, but Bai Pu, after taking this move, was powerless to dodge or deflect the second strike.
The second move, Directly Attack the Yellow Dragon!
A loud phoenix cry, the Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd like a phoenix’s beak, directly stabbed Bai Pu’s chest!
Following was the third move of the Life-taking Three Techniques, and also the most lethal and powerful technique: Shattering Heaven and Earth!
The prerequisite for this move was Directly Attack the Yellow Dragon stabbing into the opponent’s body, followed by explosive power, shattering the opponent’s body, causing an Armor-ignoring, 300% explosive output.
Boom!
A thunderous sound, Bai Pu’s body fragments flew apart.
"It’s over." Cyan Vault breathed a long sigh, triumphant.
Though there were some twists in this Celestial Human War, the final result was that I took the crown, defending the Celestial Human Title.
The Celestial Mansion remains Huaxia’s top power; those in the organization who complained because I forcefully requisitioned resources to purchase the [Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd] can only swallow their pride and continue to curry favor!
Because I, Cyan Vault, am still one of the strongest in Huaxia and globally!
For a moment, Cyan Vault thought extensively, until he noticed the dust before him, realizing something was amiss.
Bai Pu should have been instantly killed by my Armor-ignoring Vital Attack.
Where’s the white light?
The promised transforming into light, why is it appearing before me as dust and yellow sand?
Cyan Vault felt an ominous sensation, looked down, and saw that the "Activated Thorns" binding him had not disappeared either.
Bai Pu isn’t dead?
As Cyan Vault realized this, amidst the drifting yellow sand, a gigantic Fighting Qi Spirit Arrow was already coming through the air!
The tip of the Fighting Qi Spirit Arrow was the sharp edge of the Doomsday Blade.
Shush, Cyan Vault received a solid blow.
[You took 1408 points of mixed damage.]
[Your Passive Mystical Arts: Unity of Body and Artifact activated, converting 50% of sustained damage into equipment Durability loss.]
[Your equipment: Bone Wing Leg Armor Durability is zeroed out and completely destroyed.]
[You lost 704 Life Value.]
With a crisp sound, his leg Bone Armor shattered into pieces, vanished from Cyan Vault’s Storage Space.
Cyan Vault grunted, sensing the shattering Mental Realm of the Doomsday Blade spear tip. If not for [Unity of Body and Artifact] reducing the damage, he would have been instantly killed by Gangxin’s Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts.
Cyan Vault endured the pain, smashed back toward Bai Pu, only to be blocked by the Hand Guarding Staff again.
By now, both had exhausted most of their trump cards.
Though Bai Pu had a backup plan, he no longer needed to use it.
He and Cyan Vault fought rapidly, engaging continuously in mid-air.
Bai Pu had accumulated three or four "Final Breath" stacks, paired with 181 Agility points, various attack speed increasing effects, elevating his attack speed to over 200.
As Cyan Vault was injured and had lost a piece of equipment, his Attributes decreased accordingly, yet the attack speed of both remained about the same in this exchange.
Bai Pu’s weakness was lacking Dual-wielding Specialty, with each hand fighting separately, yet he still didn’t match Cyan Vault’s technique.
But Bai Pu excelled in exploiting his strengths—his toughness far surpassed Cyan Vault’s.
Prismatic Domain lowered Cyan Vault’s speed, restricting his sprint skills.
Activated Thorns limited Cyan Vault’s flexibility and change of direction.
Engaging in a fight, adopting an injury-for-injury strategy, forcing Cyan Vault to trade life value depletion!
Enduring battle favored Bai Pu; in a Dual-wielding State, his weapon’s passive layers steadily climbed.
Final Breath, each layer increasing attack speed by 3 points, accelerating strike rate!
Wall of Despair, each layer increasing fixed Damage Reduction by 3 points, growing tougher!
Cyan Vault fought more and more frustrated, never encountering such a rogue Celestial Human War combatant.
Finally, in bitter struggle, with all his cards played, Cyan Vault couldn’t pose a threat to Bai Pu.
This former Celestial Human was unwilling to be ’slain’ by juniors; realizing victory was hopeless, Cyan Vault chose to transform into light and depart, admitting defeat!
No more fighting, can’t stand your disgusting strategy!
Take the Celestial Human Title, I don’t want it anymore!
