Chapter 574 - 466: 80%-85% Elementalization: The Secret of the Alien Race’s Strongest (Part 2)

"Elder Li?!"

"Is Sword Elder going to...?"

"..."

The four Ninth-Rank fighters froze when they saw Qin Jianfei and Sword Elder battling the Blood Marshal. They weren’t blind. Their opponent was clearly one of the Strongest of the Blood Race.

"What’s with all the chatter? Attack! Let’s take down this Silver Horn King before the other foreign race Strongest get here!" Qin Jianfei was brutally direct.

"Silver Horn King?!"

"Understood!"

"Silver Horn King, you’ve passed up the path to heaven and barged through the gates of hell..."

"Kill him! Silver Horn King, die!"

Although the four Ninth-Rank fighters didn’t quite understand what was going on, they understood Qin Jianfei’s words perfectly.

Besides, Li Tiannan and Sword Elder had already made their move...

What was there to hesitate about?

Seven against one!

There was no way they could possibly lose!

"Die, Silver Horn King!"

"Silver Horn King, face my spear!"

"Silver Horn King, taste my Wind and Fire Wheels!"

"..."

The shouts rose and fell, one after another.

The Blood Marshal felt his head buzzing, as if hundreds of annoying flies were swarming around his ears, making him exceptionally irritated.

"My name is not the Silver Horn King!" he roared.

But it was no damn use.

Because the human Ninth-Ranks would never believe him.

They continued to cheerfully shout "Die, Silver Horn King!" one after another.

"So this is the Military Department’s new four-man battle formation!" Gao Neng clicked his tongue in amazement as he watched from the side. ’These harassment tactics are really impressive.’

And the effect was remarkably obvious.

With several people constantly screaming for his death, the Blood Marshal barely had a chance to retaliate. He was on the defensive the entire time.

’Sword Elder and Qin Jianfei’s dual sword combination, plus the encirclement tactics of four Ninth-Ranks... it really can trap a foreign race Strongest...’ Gao Neng tilted his head back, looking up.

High above.

Li Tiannan was continuously gathering power.

Around his body, Water Bombs that looked like churning seawater were constantly forming.

If nothing went wrong...

If this attack could land a hit...

The Blood Marshal would be severely injured, even if it didn’t kill him.

"SCREEE!!!!" Just then, a strange shriek erupted from the Blood Marshal’s mouth, sounding just like a seventh or eighth-rank Bird of the Soul taking flight.

And as he made that sound, a transparent bird flew out of his mouth, darting wildly toward the sky.

"Huh?!" Gao Neng was stunned.

This was clearly the state a foreign race member entered after being killed.

But right now, the Blood Marshal was obviously only at a disadvantage, nowhere near the point of being slain. How could this be happening?

It was too strange!

At least, Gao Neng didn’t understand it at first.

However, Li Tiannan, who had been gathering power in mid-air, suddenly roared, "Silver Horn King, you won’t escape today even if you sprout wings!"

As his voice fell,

Li Tiannan stopped gathering power and flew straight toward the frantically darting, transparent bird.

"It’s Soul Splitting! I heard my grandpa talk about it!" Fang Tangtang’s voice, sounding extremely nervous, came from behind Gao Neng.

"Soul Splitting?" Gao Neng looked at Fang Tangtang in confusion.

"Mhm. I heard it’s an ability only the Strongest of the foreign races have. They can split their souls into many parts. As long as one part survives, they are essentially immortal." Fang Tangtang explained what she knew.

"Can’t human Strongest do it?" Gao Neng asked again.

"It seems they can’t," Fang Tangtang said, shaking her head.

’So it’s something only the Strongest of the foreign races can do?’ Gao Neng’s brow furrowed slightly.

Because this answer overturned the theory he had just been considering.

He had thought the ultimate goal of cultivation was the same for both humans and the foreign races.

But now it seemed...

The differences between them were still stark.

’There must be some connection between the cultivation of the foreign races and that of humans. What is that connection? And where do they differ?’ As Gao Neng pondered this question, a roar suddenly tore through the sky.

The Bird of the Soul that had flown out was annihilated by Li Tiannan’s One Slash.

Its soul shattered into fragments...

And vanished into the air.

At the same time, a trickle of blood flowed from one of the besieged Blood Grand Marshal’s eyes.

It wasn’t just his eye that bled; his body also shuddered violently, and he looked to be in extreme pain, as if he had suffered a hidden trauma.

"Very good. Just the few of you, and you really think you can kill me?! You’re dreaming! Dreaming, do you hear me?!" The Blood Marshal seemed to be in a terrible state mentally.

Clearly, with the Bird of the Soul annihilated, his own soul had been damaged as well.

But his rage still surged.

And it seemed his earlier fear was completely gone.

’No, wait. The Soul Splitting wasn’t to escape, it was a call for help!’ Gao Neng’s mind raced, and he instantly came to a conclusion.

If the Blood Marshal was truly desperate to escape, he certainly wouldn’t have split off just one soul. Moreover, after that soul shot out, it didn’t immediately flee but darted about randomly in the sky.

What did that mean?

The Blood Marshal wasn’t trying to escape at all!

He didn’t run, and instead even got injured from the Soul Splitting.

There was only one other possibility...

The Blood Marshal was calling for reinforcements.

"We have to end this fast. Otherwise, once the foreign race reinforcements arrive, this whole battle will have been meaningless." Gao Neng looked at Gao Xiaomeng, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Time to combine?"

"Combine again? No way!" Gao Xiaomeng shook her head, then added, "We still have plans after this. I can’t enter a ’Weakened State’."

"Hmm, now that you mention it... you’re right." Gao Neng thought for a moment and understood what Gao Xiaomeng meant.

The so-called "combination."

As he understood it now, it was basically him directly borrowing the energy within Gao Xiaomeng’s body. The consequence was a severe depletion of her energy.

The first time, Gao Neng had used the energy from Gao Xiaomeng’s body to kill Nightingale, which directly sent Gao Xiaomeng into a ’Weakened State’ for nearly a month.

Although this combination could make Gao Neng instantly stronger, Gao Xiaomeng would become weaker.

It more or less followed the Law of Conservation of Energy.

Before, Gao Neng naturally didn’t care.

But now, he needed Gao Xiaomeng’s combat strength.

So, doing so would be unwise.

"If we can’t combine, then the only option is to get in close and try the Illusion Technique!" Gao Neng gritted his teeth. At a time like this, it was impossible not to take some risks.

As long as he could trap the Blood Marshal in an Illusion Realm...

The chances of killing the Blood Marshal would be at least eighty percent.

"Tangtang, cover me with artillery from a distance. If the Silver Horn King tries to attack me, you hit him from afar! Got it?" Gao Neng immediately started giving orders.

"Okay!" Fang Tangtang nodded at once.

"Gao Xiaomeng, you’re tough and sturdy. Be my shield. If the Silver Horn King dodges Fang Tangtang’s artillery, you use your body to block for me." Gao Neng spoke again.

"What do you mean, sturdy?!" Gao Xiaomeng retorted, displeased.

"Did you hear me? I need to get close. Twenty meters... no, to be safe, it’s best if I get within ten meters!" Gao Neng didn’t say any more.

The skills from the Dumbass System had levels.

These levels didn’t just refer to the skills themselves, but also to the level of the enemy they were used against.

For example, ’Glare At You’ could only reveal some weaknesses of an Eighth-Rank, basically nothing for a Ninth-Rank, and provided zero information on a Strongest.

As for the Cyan Dragon Illusion Technique...

Even though it was an Epic-grade ability, he wasn’t a hundred percent confident that he could trap a Strongest from twenty meters away.

But ten meters!

That should be no problem!
