In the cave, Lu Yu and Fan Tian were already very close to each other; with this turn of events, they were now nearly pressed tightly together.
Brahma wanted to shift his body, but it was already nearly cornered by Lu Yu.
For the first time, she felt the pressure from a human being—a tremendous, overwhelming force.
Being in such close contact with a man left her feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
“Don’t move around recklessly; it’s better for everyone this way,” Lu Yu said coldly. “Leave this place, and where else can I find such a powerful toxin to enhance my Poison Dragon’s Touch? Only here can I control you like this, making you hesitate to act for now! Either you make a move, and we’ll see who’s faster, or we both perish together!”
Fan Tian clenched his silver teeth, glared fiercely at Lu Yu, and snarled, “Leave this place—I will definitely make you die!”
Lu Yu frowned in pain but his smile never faded as he said, “You seem to be badly injured too. You had to resist the potent poison, transfer the poison to me, and at the same time channel your life force into me. I don’t believe you still have the strength to kill me under the corrosion of such a powerful toxin?”
Lu Yu was well aware that he was no match for Fan Tian. All he could do was to make full use of every favorable condition to create a balance.
Then, at the critical moment, he can be the one to break the balance, instead of Brahma doing it.
Therefore, Lu Yu did his best to become even more dominant, suppressing Fan Tian to the point of suffocation, and creating his own advantage!
Fan Tian stared at Lu Yu, her willow eyebrows furrowed downward, the fiery light in her eyes seeming as if it might ignite at any moment.
“I can’t die!” Vasant’s eyes reddened slightly, and the hand on Lu Yu’s shoulder eased its grip. To be threatened like this by a human was a disgrace—an insult to his pride as a mighty demon.
She absolutely cannot die!
She must live, live and leave this place.
She still has a lot to do!
“Good!” Lu Yu also temporarily let go of his left hand and said, “You don’t want to die, and neither do I. In this situation, just obediently transfer your life force to me. When I feel it’s enough, I’ll naturally leave with you.”
The cave grew quiet.
The toxic gas seeping in through the cracks continued to invade the bodies of the two people.
Brahma’s forehead was beaded with fine sweat, and the veins on his snow-white arms bulged as he transferred the poison from his body into Lu Yu’s.
She was also enduring the pain, though it was only the initial sting of the poison just entering her body.
She is stronger than Lu Yu and can temporarily suppress the poison, completely transferring it into Lu Yu’s body.
As for Lu Yu, his body felt as if it were being corroded by sulfuric acid. Large amounts of flesh disintegrated into nothingness within the toxic gas, only to be rapidly regenerated by the powerful life force that Fan Tian continuously infused into him.
Lu Yu was enduring the toxicity meant for two people. From his flesh to his muscles, and then to his nerves, every inch of his body felt as if it were being sliced by thousands of sharp blades.
During the time Lu Yu endured the pain, he also had to remain vigilant against possible attacks from Fan Tian, pushing his nerves to the absolute limit!
Due to the increased level of the Dragon’s Touch, the injuries Lu Yu sustained were no longer as severe as they initially were.
However, the effect of continuous damage is still very strong!
Lu Yu trembled as he used his hand to secretly teleport a grade-three Stellar Soul Stone from the warehouse, while Fan Tian was not paying attention.
…
Congratulations, your Killing Star Soul has been upgraded to level four.
…
The Killing Star Soul was upgraded to level 4, obtaining the level 4 skill—Fierce Armor!
Fierce Armor: Once the battle begins, your fighting spirit transforms into armor that protects your body. Each time you strike an enemy, you gain 50,000 armor points. The maximum defensive value of the Fierce Armor at Level 4 Slayer Star Soul reaches one million.
Once the defense value is depleted, Berserker’s Will will be triggered. For the next ten seconds, any attack directed at you will be rendered ineffective, and you can reflect all attacks received during these ten seconds back to the attacker!
…
Hunting: Use your power to implant a mark within an enemy’s body. When the enemy dies, there is a chance (ranging from 15% to 20%) that their attributes will be transferred into your Star Soldier.
…
Soul Devour: It allows the user to extract the souls of defeated enemies and integrate them into their own body.
Within the next twenty minutes, gain all of the enemy’s maximum health, attack power, stamina, and even the resilience of their body. After twenty minutes, the soul fusion effect disappears, and all acquired attributes will also vanish.
The Bloody Soul can absorb the souls of two enemies simultaneously, stacking the attributes of both enemies. After the effect disappears, the absorption can be repeated!
A Level 4 Slaughter Star Soul can absorb souls only from beings at Level 4 or below, and is incapable of absorbing souls from beings above Level 4!
…
Bloodthirsty Blade: Successfully killing an enemy restores 5,000 life points to the user.
Lethal Strike: When you possess the Star Spirit Pearl, you may pay a cost of 500 Star Spirit Pearls to add a Lethal Strike to any of your attacks. A Lethal Strike will deal an additional 10,000 points of damage beyond your attack power and cause the enemy to become stunned for 2 seconds.
…
Under attack, the Murder Star Soul activates!
Your maximum life has increased to 130,000 points! Attack power has increased to 110,000 points!
…
Lu Yu looked at the changes in his attributes and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
The effects of Star Soul’s skills are significantly increasing; this is exactly what he wants.
How could Brahma possibly not know what Lu Yu was up to!
But she could do nothing but watch helplessly as Lu Yu grew stronger.
No, it’s not enough! I’m still not strong enough!
Brahma shouted in his heart, “I must become stronger!”
Time passed, and the toxic gas continued to seep in through the cracks in the rocks, flowing endlessly into their bodies.
Lu Yu’s skills inside his body did not disappear again. These skills seemed to be able to resist the corrosion of the toxic gas.
After holding on for two hours, Fan Tian was already drenched in sweet sweat. Clenching her teeth, she said, “Enough. I’m almost at my limit. If this continues, my life force will be drained, and both you and I will die!”
Lu Yu’s expression was also stretched to the breaking point. However, he greedily and疯狂ly allowed the toxic gas to enter his body, laughing maniacally as he said, “Senior, I haven’t reached my limit yet. Just endure it a little longer!”
“Damn it, what do you think I am to you? Your guardian, or your food!” Fan Tian hissed, clenching his teeth as he shoved Lu Yu hard, yet his hands dared not leave Lu Yu’s body.
She was clearly stronger than Lu Yu. Yet, she was still restrained by him like this, and her feelings were indescribable.
Lu Yu, dispersing his pain, couldn’t help but smile and said, “I’m really curious. You’re clearly the Demon Lord, so you should be at level nine, right? Yet you couldn’t even withstand the poison of the Venomous Dragon. Could it be that the Venomous Dragon’s level is higher than that of a ninth-level Demon Lord?”
“Hmph!” Brahma turned his face away, refusing to look at Lu Yu.
“Let me guess!” Lu Yu rolled his eyes and said, “Who is Fan Hao?”
“If you dare to mention those two words again so directly, do you think I won’t kill you right now?” Fan Tian suddenly turned his face again, staring tightly at Lu Yu, as if he were about to bite him fiercely.
Lu Yu stared at Fan Tian, this being the first time he had looked so closely and intimately at a woman.
“What are you looking at?” Fan Tian’s fair face flushed with a hint of red!
“You’re stating the obvious. Besides you, the only other thing here is rocks. If I don’t look at you, should I look at the rocks instead?” Lu Yu laughed and said, “You’re clearly a woman, yet you insist on dressing yourself in a black robe and pretending to be a man. Do you have a cross-dressing fetish?”
“Crack!”
Lu Yu’s shoulder was shattered again.
Brahma’s five fingers sank deeply into the bone, and he clenched hard, gritting his teeth: “If you dare say another word, I’ll twist your arm off!”
Lu Yu’s face twisted in pain, yet he still grinned defiantly and said, “Well then, let’s see where you’ll put your hands after you twist off my arm.”
“You…”
The faint blush on Brahma’s face vanished as he became furious, his expression turning even colder.
“The old man knows Fan Hao but doesn’t recognize you, which proves that you and the old man aren’t enemies. Yet as the Demon Lord, this situation is definitely unusual. If I’m not mistaken, Fan Hao must have been your predecessor, and you are the current one. Moreover—”
“Crack!”
Lu Yu’s scapula is shattered again!
“You’re not even at level nine!”
Lu Yu inhaled sharply but still managed to finish what he had to say.
“Have you finished speaking?” Fan Tian suddenly calmed down and asked quietly.
“No,” Lu Yu’s mischievous smile deepened as he said, “I can see through your disguise, the way you dress yourself up because your predecessor died and you’re afraid you can’t control your subordinates, right? Oh, wait, it’s more about fearing that other devil masters might find out about your situation and make a move against you, isn’t it? However, I really didn’t expect that there would be such a huge difference between devil women and men!”
“Why, why do all of you look down upon women!” Brahma seemed to have his sore spot touched; the grievance he had suppressed for who knows how long could no longer be contained after Lu Yu’s remark.
The voice of Fan Tian was somewhat choked, and the rims of his eyes turned slightly red.
“Why do you all assume women are weaker than men? Why can’t I become the Demon Lord? Why is that impossible for me!”
“This has nothing to do with me?”
Brahma called out, “Submit willingly to me so I may extract your powers. With the abilities of the Poison Dragon and the Silver Dragon, I will surely become the Demon Lord.”
Lu Yu said angrily, “Damn it, are all you women so stupid? Do you think I’ll just let you extract my abilities and then wait to die? Am I the idiot, or are you?”
“After we get out of here, I will definitely kill you,” Fan Tian said, his whole body trembling lightly, “and tear you into pieces!”
“After you get out, if you let me escape, I will expose all your secrets. I wonder who will end up in a worse situation!” Lu Yu sneered, “Judging from your tone, gender discrimination is quite severe in your demon race. If they capture you, this beautiful female demon, I really can’t imagine what fate awaits you.”
Fan Tian thought of something and said sharply, “You dare!”
“If you want to kill me, how could I let you go?” Lu Yu snorted coldly. “We’re even. When I first discovered you were a woman, if it hadn’t been such a great shock to see how different you were from what I originally thought, and if I had known you were a woman from the very beginning, you’d already be dead. If I had the ability to fight you, I wouldn’t show mercy just because you’re a woman!”
As Lu Yu was speaking, a voice once again sounded in his ear.
Congratulations! Your “Touch of the Venomous Dragon” has been upgraded to level six!
Obtained the Poisonous Dragon Transformation!
