Chapter 933 - 928: Do You Dare to Seduce a Snake?

Then, Monty led the Demetri Clan Guard to catch up with Bart and the others.

"These people also participated in insulting and slandering the lady. Capture them and bring them back! If there is resistance, kill them without mercy!"

A group of Demetri Clan guards simultaneously responded.

Bart secretly lamented; in the shadows, he found a few guys dressed like slaves, but their vigor was definitely not that of real slaves. They are most likely the "Hidden Guard" of the Demetri family!

This battle is more dangerous than initially estimated!

...

"Dior, why are you so restless?"

Karamango spoke in a tone of frustration, "I arranged for you to explore the Black Algae Mountain Range. Don't you know it's to create an opportunity for you to get close to Lady Rile? Instead of serving her well and seizing this immense fortune, you choose to be her enemy!"

Bai Pu said helplessly, "Karamango, would you dare to C-snake?"

Karamango: ???

"I wouldn't dare anyway. I'm not Xu Xian."

Bai Pu shook his head, "Rilekiss Demetri is actually a spy from the Naga Race, and she herself is a Naga transformed."

"Originally, I considered involving you, but based on your deep relations with her, and your stingy, hypocritical impression, I didn't choose you as the 'intermediary.'"

"Nonsense!"

Bai Pu's influence on Karamango was clearly insufficient to convince him to change his view on Lady Rile.

If Karamango was a bit more reliable, less stingy and hypocritical, Bai Pu might have chosen him as the intermediary to expose Lady Rile's true nature to the Imperial Legion.

However, Karamango wouldn't even give Bai Pu the A-level Silver side mission reward—a "guidance" that doesn't involve money. This greatly decreased Bai Pu's trust in him.

Mind you, Karamango's affection level towards Bai Pu had already risen to the friend level.

This profit-seeking old man regards the Spirit Realm Will's defined affection standard as nothing more than a fart; his moral bottom line appears to be nonexistent.

Even if Lady Rile was truly a Naga spy, and Bai Pu had solid evidence and gave it to Karamango, Karamango might likely conceal this and use it to blackmail Lady Rile, engaging in a profit-driven collusion.

At that time, Bai Pu would be a gift, packaged and sent out, exchanged by Karamango for greater benefits.

Karamango clenched his knuckles as his frail and thin form began to expand inch by inch:

"Perhaps my appearance has made you lose any sense of awe, not understanding what a Gold Medal Gladiator truly is! Gangxin Dior, now I will teach you what humility and obedience as a slave mean!"

His cracked skin was filled up by engorged muscles! The age spots on the surface of his skin rapidly disappeared, and his veins popped on his arms, containing terrifying strength.

Bai Pu said blandly, "You still owe me a 'guidance,' now I'm here to collect it myself."

"Arrogant!"

Karamango suddenly spread his arms wide, and a blood-colored domain unfurled abruptly! Within the domain, Bai Pu only felt his blood surging, with the heartbeat speeding up by half a beat compared to usual.

[You have been affected by the Blood Boiling Domain. Your action accuracy has decreased by 100 points, and your physical energy depletion rate increased by 100%. Every time you bleed when attacked, it will stack the 'Frenzy Blood' state for Karamango.]

Action accuracy relates to agility and attribute, referring to attack precision values.

Bai Pu's self-feeling was akin to being intoxicated. For instance, the sword aimed at the target's neck, now with accuracy reduced by 100 points (equivalent to the accuracy brought by 100 points of agility), might strike the shoulder instead, or might miss completely.

Bai Pu immediately activated the Prismatic Domain. At this time, his domain had a priority level of 12 points, with the Triple Special Attribute judgment, not fearing any hostile domain up to 13 points!

However, facing Karamango's Blood Boiling Domain, the Prismatic Domain was still ruthlessly crushed.

The outcome of the domain battle: the efficiency of the Blood Boiling Domain decreased by 25%, while Bai Pu's Prismatic Domain dropped by 75%!

This suggests the priority level of the Blood Boiling Domain is at least 14 points.

Karamango burst into laughter and performed a Jump Slash, bringing down the bulky War Sword he held.

Before the sword fell, the gale had already made Bai Pu's breath labored.

The Four Symbols Shield unfolded by Bai Pu, pressed by the sword wind, unexpectedly showed signs of collapse. Clearly, this Jump Slash carried special skill traits against shields.

This is the crushing priority.

Priority is a symbol of skill "strength".

Bai Pu activated Four Symbols Appearance, with a base priority of 8 points, representing fundamental energy intensity, while the skill was four-star level, indicating highly efficient energy utilization by the skill, with an "extra 4 points boost in skill attack strength", resulting in a total "skill strength" of 12 points.

While Karamango's Jump Slash had even higher skill strength, reaching 13~14 points, it was akin to a steel blade slicing through a wooden shield, naturally destroying the shield with twice the effort.

In the nick of time, Bai Pu shifted laterally, escaping Karamango's skill lock-in, protecting Four Symbols Shield from being shattered.

Thanks to the space special effects of [Four Symbols Appearance] and the [Shell of Scorching Gold], Bai Pu was endowed with the ability to dodge skill lock-in by body technique.

However, this body technique dodge isn't foolproof; it requires preemptive judgment to possibly avoid it.

With a crashing sound, Karamango's War Sword struck the ground, splitting it with a crevice seven to eight meters long, two meters wide, and one meter deep.

The impact created was astonishing! At the Ascension Plane, where world strength is extremely high, creating terrain devastation measuring seven to eight meters with one strike is already terrifying.

Bai Pu also had to exert full effort to launch Four Symbols Appearance - Cannon Bombardment to approximate such destructiveness, far less effortlessly than Karamango.

"You managed to dodge?" Karamango was slightly surprised, grinning, "Seems your strength has increased somewhat... In that case, I shall add a bit more force."

Suddenly, blood light gathered in Karamango's left hand, and a punch hit the ground.

The ground spread blood-colored energy like waves! A fluctuation of blood-colored tide almost instantaneously transmitted to Bai Pu's front.

Bai Pu's footings felt like they were planted with high explosives, exploding thunderously! Bai Pu's form was lightened, losing balance, thrown high by the blast.

This was Karamango's control skill: Boiling Blood Shock!

The strike wasn't about high damage; the highlight was the pesky control state.

Karamango held the sword in both hands, powered up, and delivered a sinister horizontal slash! A blood-colored sword light stretched ten meters, slicing horizontally towards Bai Pu.

Swish! Bai Pu's figure suddenly vanished.

Karamango's strike missed again.

"How did you evade this time?" Karamango was somewhat puzzled.
