Chapter 890: The Choice Between Life and Death
More importantly, Meng Chao never thought that he would run away just like that.
He knew very well that if he did not fight “Lu Siya,” she would not let him go so easily.
He could only run away if he fought!
“Then… as you wish!”
Deep inside the flow of debris, Meng Chao’s eyes shone like rockets that were about to be launched.
His vitality magnetic field expanded to its limit in an instant. It scanned the environment, including every turbulence, every piece of gravel, and every piece of broken wood in the mudslide.
The bone blade left his hand and rolled toward a piece of broken wood that had sunk into the mud not far away.
Using the subtle force of his muscles, it vibrated from his palm to the bone blade to the broken wood.
Soon, the two-meter-long broken wood was pulled out of the mud and rolled to his hand.
Then, Meng Chao made a move that no one had expected.
He gave himself a backhand punch in the chest.
“Pu!”
Then he spat a mouthful of slightly fluorescent blood that contained spirit energy onto the broken wood without missing a single drop.
Since the force of the spray was too strong, the blood beads were embedded deep in the broken wood like bullets.
The blood contained the essence of Meng Chao’s life—a lot of spirit energy that originated from the Red Radiance Jade and the Blue Origin Crystal.
If “Lu Siya’s tentacle” had explored the area, it would have been very easy for her to mistake the broken wood for Meng Chao when her vision was blocked.
Although such a trick would only confuse her for half a second at most.
But for Meng Chao, half a second was enough.
Next, the most important question was how to distribute the contribution points.
It could be said that the 1.8 million contribution points obtained from solving the Mystery of the Supernatural Ent.i.ties was Meng Chao’s biggest and only trump card at the moment.
It was a matter of life and death to use these contribution points to fight for a unique technique, or even decide Dragon City’s future.
At first glance, he did not need to think at all. All he needed to do was to put all his contribution points into Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash and Divine Nine Dragon Seals, and push these two peerless skills to the peak of Perfect Level or even Ultimate Level. Naturally, he could suppress “Lu Siya.”
Meng Chao’s mind raced, but he realized that things weren’t that simple.
First of all, he had just completed the sixth dragon meridian. Even if he invested an astronomical amount of contribution points, it was unlikely that he would be able to immediately complete the seventh dragon vein that entwined his gonads.
Moreover, Divine Nine Dragon Seals was not an exquisite combat technique. It was similar to Ultimate Burning. It was an explosive technique that was used to increase one’s combat strength in an instant.
Without the coordination of moves, one would only have brute force. Even “Lu Siya’s long green hair” might not be able to touch it.
Then, what about Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash?
This peerless saber technique developed by Jin Wanhao was, of course, Dragon City’s best unique skill.
However, because it was too exquisite and fierce, it was difficult to break through the perfection level or even the ultimate level of proficiency.
From his past experience of using contribution points to forcefully increase his proficiency, even if Meng Chao threw all his 1.8 million contribution points into it and really raised Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash to the Perfect Level…
It would take a long time for his nerves and muscles to adapt to the new battle memory.
During the adaptation period, due to the disharmony between the body and the mind, the increase in battle strength would not be obvious. In fact, there would even be situations where they would restrict each other.
It was probably a state where the brain would say, “You can do it,” and the body would say, “No, you can’t.”
There was another crucial point.
What he was holding was not the Golden Tooth Blood Soul Saber.
It was just the spine of a Nightmarish Beast.
No matter how “crystallized” it was, its strength, hardness, and toughness had their limits.
He had only made a feint with “Lu Siya” just now. Judging from the subtle feedback of his strength, he could sense that tiny cracks were appearing on the crystallized spine of the Iron Sword Lizard.
If he used this bone blade to perform Perfect Level Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash…
Before the saber’s ray could cut off “Lu Siya’s hair,” the saber body would definitely not be able to withstand the surging power and would be the first to shatter.
Therefore…
Meng Chao took a deep breath and extracted 300,000 contribution points, throwing them into the Walking Corpse and Bizarre Stab techniques.
These two advanced skills were the compulsory subjects of the Ghost Tribe, the most mysterious elite equipment of a super enterprise in Dragon City in his previous life.
The former could reduce all physiological reactions of the human body, including but not limited to breathing, heartbeat, body temperature, blood flow rate and adrenaline secretion, to the bottom of the valley, turning a living person into an ice-cold corpse in an instant, and the “corpse” could be resurrected instantly.
The latter could hide the killing intent and hostility to the greatest extent and use all kinds of extremely mysterious methods to silently send a sharp blade smeared with lethal poison into the target’s heart.
Even before the target’s chest was soaked by the blood in his heart, he would not even realize that he had been a.s.sa.s.sinated or even died!
At this time, the a.s.sa.s.sin had already left and was traveling thousands of miles away.
That’s right. Walking Corpse and Bizarre Stab were the killing techniques that the martial artists, life scientists, human engineers, and tactical experts of Dragon City had specially developed for a.s.sa.s.sins in his previous life.
In his previous life, Meng Chao, who had joined the Ghost Tribe and was active on the continent of the Other World under the name of the Ghost Messenger, was also an out-and-out a.s.sa.s.sin.
By relying on peak-level stealth, hibernation, camouflage, and infiltration techniques, he was able to deal with targets far stronger than himself time and time again. He could reap the lives of countless experts from the Other World, collect countless strategic intelligence, and gather secret information about the Other World, then, he could safely return to his own camp.
Walking Corpse and Bizarre Stab had already been deeply imprinted in Meng Chao’s soul through his flesh, nerves, and bone marrow.
Therefore, unlike the tyrannical martial arts like Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash, which he had never come into contact with in his previous life, he only needed to spend a small amount of contribution points to instantly awaken a large number of memory fragments related to Walking Corpse and Bizarre Stab.
Moreover, these memory fragments were like old swallows returning to their nest. They did not even need half a second to adapt and perfectly merged with his current body.
[Walking Corpse, Proficiency: Ultimate!
[Bizarre Stab, Proficiency: Ultimate!]
Soon, the crisp and melodious sound of crystal cracking came from the depths of Meng Chao’s brain.
Two mysterious forces poured into each of his nerve endings through his central nerves.
His fingers danced lightly. He had never been so eager and confident that he could cut off the throat of an enemy who was several times stronger than him.
Just a few hundred thousand contribution points had raised the proficiency of the two a.s.sa.s.sination techniques to the peak.
Of course…
One should know that in his previous life, in order to survive and protect his sister who had transformed into the Dark Witch, he had even opened one eye when he slept and cultivated so crazily.
Unfortunately, due to his talent and old injuries in his previous life, he had always been a mediocre expert in the Earth Realm.
No matter how many profound meanings of Walking Corpse and Bizarre Stab were branded into the depths of his brain with a soldering iron, he could not use his weak body to bring the art of a.s.sa.s.sination to the extreme.
He did not expect that the hard training in his previous life would be rewarded in this life.
Different from the struggling in his previous life, the Meng Chao today had long broken through the limit of the five-star Heaven Realm.
It was like asking a college student to solve an elementary school math problem.
Even if he had never seen the type of problem and could not even find a way to solve it, he could still “break the trick with strength” and use university-level tools and formulas to solve the problem.
After getting the answer, he could deduce the answer from the person who had asked the question. In an instant, his thoughts became extremely clear.
“I was right.
“Instead of using up all my contribution points to aim for a breakthrough with Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash, which is a heavyweight technique, I would rather use all my contribution points to try to break through to the top.
“It would be better to use the killing technique that I have practiced countless times in my previous life to reach the top first.
“This is the best choice for me!”
Next, it was…
“Ultimate Burning!”
Meng Chao’s eyes were wide open. Other than reserving hundreds of thousands of contribution points to exchange for healing techniques, he had thrown nearly a million contribution points into the forbidden move, Ultimate Burning.
Furthermore, he activated the corresponding spirit meridian and allowed the spirit energy that was like a flood or a ferocious beast to flow rapidly within the spirit meridian. It formed a mysterious and complicated spirit magnetic field that pushed Ultimate Burning to its limit!
In an instant, an active volcano seemed to appear deep inside his body.
Billions of tons of magma spurted out from his chest and poured into every vein in his body.
Meng Chao could apparently “see” that his two eyeb.a.l.l.s, which were protruding out of his eye sockets, were covered in crisscrossed blood threads. Every blood thread was boiling hot, and scorching magma was surging inside!
Deep inside the blood, every cell was screaming. Driven by the crazily functioning mitochondria, they had become atoms that had reached the critical point of fission!
And Meng Chao still felt that this “burning” was not enough.
The structure principle and method of the Ultimate Burning appeared in his mind. He silently meditated on the scenes that would easily make him angry or even crazy.
Naturally, it was ten thousand suns exploding in the sky above Dragon City. The destructive flames descended like a torrential rain, creating charred holes on the bodies of the humans who had nowhere to run. First, they burned the humans into a hornet’s nest that was riddled with holes, then, they burned the black corpses into white ashes. Finally, they used the shockwaves of the solar wind to blow the ashes of the humans and the creations of the humans—the once glorious city—into oblivion.
“No…”
Meng Chao could feel that his spirit index was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If he had a spirit index detector on his head, he would have been alarmed hysterically.
Perhaps, his face was so twisted that he could scare away even monsters.
However, his will was like a cold chain that was holding on to the power that was gushing out like magma.
He entered a state of quasi-spirit energy deviation.
He used his crazy and demonic combat strength to increase his strength.
But he was not affected by the backlash of spirit energy deviation.
That was the profound meaning of Ultimate Burning.
