Chapter 502: Chapter 130: Second Ti (Request for Monthly Ticket)_2
If it weren’t for the fact that he had officially advanced to a Second Rank “Iron Armor,” with his original First Rank strength, he likely wouldn’t have been able to discern Ji Yang’s true purpose, let alone easily handle the “Lion Dance,” a stitched creature ford by the Ji siblings.
That creature is part of “Yang God·Purification,” which isn’t too difficult to manage since it’s only a green-quality monster and has lost its original Second-order Erosion Crystal, so it doesn’t have much combat power.
However, the other part, which belonged to her brother, was actually a “Demon Chosen.”
He hadn’t had ti to concern himself with this earlier, but now that he thought about it, Xu Shu was quite surprised.
“Chosen” among demons seed to hold a status similar to titled nobles in the “alien species” path, starting from at least the “flawless level.”
Moreover, the Chosen were unique in that they possessed “Curse Crystals,” existing sowhere between human and non-human.
Xu Shu had encountered “Demon Chosen” twice before.
The first ti was in the safe zone, right across from his apartnt. He encountered a Level 18 Chosen, strong beyond his abilities. He barely survived with a cannon shell provided by the Star Tower and never found out which of the Abyss Four Evils the opponent belonged to.
The second occasion was in the Wasteland, at an extrely busy lighthouse supply point. He encountered a Second Rank, one of “Jianqi’s Chosen.” This ti, with the forecast from the Tai Chu Scroll, he managed to strategize successfully against his opponent, suppressing them with a barrage of items and waiting for Archbishop Yu Mingluan to co and claim the kill.
And now, the third ti, here in this chamber, the brother stitched into a monster with his sister Ji Yu.
Among these three, the “brother” was doubtlessly the weakest in terms of strength. His speed was high, and his attack strong, but he couldn’t breach Xu Shu’s shell-like defense. It was evident that he was only First Rank;
The encounter that had brought Xu Shu the most pressure wasn’t with the Second Rank Jianqi’s Chosen, but the one in the safe zone.
At that ti, Xu Shu was Levels 15 or 16 while his opponent was Level 18. The difference in levels wasn’t significant, yet he couldn’t match up in combat strength, which actually generated the greatest sense of oppression for Xu Shu.
“A Chosen, which ans I can grab at least one purple Curse Crystal! Plus, killing a Chosen starts with a 100-point contribution reward. This deal is definitely worth it!”
Xu Shu’s eyes burned with fervor; he now fully understood the weight of the saying “strength is the foundation of one’s standing.”
Without strength, every step is difficult.
But with substantial strength, one has ample room for trial and error.
It was precisely because he now had the strength to defeat his enemies that he could face such traps—not only could he avoid fleeing, but he could also claim their lives as spoils of war!
Of course, Xu Shu felt he still wasn’t strong enough.
He ought to be stronger—to burst these so-called saviors, these demonic cults, and those wayward Transcendents with one punch!
“Sir, sir?! If we don’t go in now, this old man’s wife won’t hold on much longer!” Ji Yang continued his dramatic performance behind him.
Xu Shu put aside the distractions in his mind, turned slightly to look at him, and thought about Tai Chu Scroll’s evaluation of this man during their journey.
“A once-in-a-lifeti genius,” “pioneer of a nation of guile?”
Could it be that such a talent, if killed directly, might be sowhat a waste?
However, this “nation of guile” didn’t seem to be the more orthodox “nation of the Transcendent.” Instead, it ant that ordinary people could also use Ji Yang’s thod to beco a half-human, half-cunning existence and thus control power.
Wouldn’t that an anyone could beco like Ji Yang? Half-human but not cunning?
Xu Shu hesitated montarily.
This man’s talent was indeed worth ntioning; he had his white-grade innate Curse Seal, yet he sohow managed to craft an entirely new “cultivation thod” for himself.
However, rembering this guy’s actions after revealing his true face—though he retained human intelligence, his humanity was clearly twisted beyond recognition.
Would a normal person willingly turn their own flesh and blood into a bloodthirsty, cannibalistic monster just for their own advancent?
Even a tiger wouldn’t eat its own cubs!
This man’s moral corruption and perverse thods, even if compared to monsters, certainly ranked among the most despicable and revolting, worse than the damned Nagoul Demon.
It was almost certain this was the ntal influence subtly induced by the fusion with the Erosion Crystal.
Thinking about a future filled with such lunatics lurking on every street, all intending to murder and consu others to enhance themselves, leaving no place safe for his family and friends, Xu Shu felt a chill down his spine.
“Sorry, but I’ve thought it over, and it’s better if you just die.”
“Fuck your once-in-a-lifeti genius!”
Xu Shu suddenly turned around and strode toward Ji Yang with a cold laugh.
“Ah? Sir, what did you say?”
Ji Yang, his face still not having had the chance to lose its ‘ek’ expression, was caught off guard as Xu Shu swiftly approached.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Xu Shu grabbed Ji Yang, instantly breaking all his bones!
“Ah, sir! Why this? Why do this to ? Ahhh!”
Ji Yang continued his dramatic act, screaming loudly.
