Chapter 545: So White
At the base level, the Death Curse can imdiately reduce the target's health by 20%.
However, this curse can be blocked by a magic shield.
After reaching the third tier, the Death Curse bypasses magic shields and can drain 70% of the target's maximum health in one hit. If the caster acquires a crucial item of the target’s, the curse’s effect doubles.
For example...
obtaining the opponent's blood,
hair, body parts,
or even fingernails.
Any of these would double the curse's potency.
And the cooldown for the Death Curse is only three minutes.
Many shamans open a fight with the Death Curse, draining the target’s health, then engage in a three-minute skirmish.
During this skirmish, they aim to obtain the target's critical items and wait for the curse to reset. One more curse, and the battle is over.
Many are aware of this typical shaman tactic.
Yet it’s hard to counter.
Even knowing the shaman will use the Death Curse, evading it is nearly impossible.
Like right now…
Buzz!!
When Liu Baixin’s Death Curse locked onto Ling Zhan, an intense curse force descended upon him!
Splurt!
Ling Zhan coughed blood instantly, his health dropping by 70%.
His aura weakened severely!
"What!? This..."
"No way, he got hit that quickly!?"
"Sothing doesn’t add up. With Ling Zhan’s skill, he shouldn’t have fallen for it so easily!"
"Is Liu Baixin actually going to win this?"
Many spectators gasped when Ling Zhan spat blood.
Given their impression of Ling Zhan, it seed unlike him to fall for a trap so easily.
"Hmph! Falling for that? Clearly, people have overhyped you as so sort of ntor—how absurd!"
"What kind of garbage must those who asked you to teach them be?"
Liu Baixin sneered coldly, seeing his curse land successfully.
He thought Ling Zhan might be a real threat, but he turned out to be so easy to curse!
Truthfully,
when he faced opponents of equal strength, they could prepare and use immunity skills to dodge his curse.
But Ling Zhan was caught without even trying.
How amusing.
With a smirk, he lifted his level 90 spirit staff.
Powerful magic gathered at the staff’s tip.
The next mont…
Whoosh!!
The focused energy blasted forward like a laser beam, aid directly at Ling Zhan!
"So fast!"
Spectators marveled at the lightning speed of this spell.
Splurt!
Once again, it landed—direct hit!
But this ti…
Liu Baixin’s smile froze.
Even the spectators began to realize sothing was amiss.
Because…
When the spell, capable of piercing a level 85 warrior, struck Ling Zhan…
Ling Zhan’s body split cleanly in two!
In half!
Which should an his physical form had perished instantly!
But upon closer inspection…
"A decoy!"
"Liu Baixin’s been attacking a decoy this whole ti!"
"Huh!? A decoy?"
"No way! I’m a Taoist, and even I couldn’t see through it!"
"He must’ve sohow synchronized the decoy’s vitality with his own, making it indistinguishable from him."
"This…"
Gasps and murmurs rippled through the crowd.
And more crucially…
Ling Zhan hadn’t moved an inch—where was his real body?
Those familiar with Ling Zhan’s uncanny tactics shared knowing smiles.
"Now Liu Baixin’s figured it out—too late!"
"Exactly. If he’d noticed at the start, he’d have a chance, but now… He’s probably surrounded by traps. One wrong move and he’ll trigger them."
"I know Ling Zhan too well. It’s second nature to confirm my opponent’s real body before a fight."
Just as Temulis suggested,
the mont Liu Baixin realized he’d been targeting a decoy, he’d already lost.
Especially since Liu Baixin lacked advanced detection skills.
This allowed Ling Zhan’s stealth to work flawlessly.
Liu Baixin watched his surroundings warily, staying alert, yet found no trace of his opponent.
Ling Zhan’s presence had vanished entirely from the arena.
"Damn it…”
"Where is he?"
Liu Baixin scanned his surroundings with heightened senses.
He’d cast his Death Curse on a re substitute!
And, more troubling…
he hadn’t noticed when Ling Zhan switched.
As he eyed his surroundings,
suddenly!
He felt a strange grip on his ankle!
"Huh!?"
Liu Baixin jumped, glancing down to see the ground beneath him had turned into a swamp.
In the swamp, a vine-hand gripped his ankle!
The vine showed no rcy, yanking him downward!
Clearly intending to drag him into the muck and drown him!
Without a second thought, Liu Baixin prepared a movent spell to escape!
But then…
He was horrified to discover…
his status screen now showed a seven-second Silence effect!
The Silence also carried a 20% attribute reduction!
What was going on?
In that mont,
Buzz!!
Liu Baixin tried to counter with a high-level purification effect from his armor.
However…
a hand tapped his shoulder from behind.
And with that single tap,
crack!!
His armor shattered within seconds!
And along with his armor…
went all his inner layers!
"Aah!!"
At that mont,
the female spectators directly in front of Liu Baixin let out screams!
Male spectators stood in shocked silence.
Wow!
Liu Baixin…
was really white!
