Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Took Down a Hunting Team
Blood trickled from the corner of the Foxman’s mouth, growing progressively more copious.
On the surface, it was imperceptible, but Fang Jie knew that the Foxman was actually burning his Life Force. A Demigod’s lifespan is indeed limitless, but this lifespan refers to the rate of recovery being faster than the rate of consumption.
That is to say, within a short period, the lifespan actually has its own limits. If too much is burnt, it could permanently affect oneself, such as showing signs of aging.
Though Demigods have methods of recovery, the cost is considerable.
If too much Life Force is burned, it could impact one’s foundation, causing an inability to advance or even regress in Strength. More severe cases could involve burning all the Life Force and dying on the spot.
Fang Jie felt that the Foxman was insane, for burning Life Force was far too extreme.
Even Fang Jie himself felt the Purification Power suppressing his Magic Power. The bones around him decomposed faster, and even with all his Strength, Fang Jie couldn’t reconstruct them.
Fortunately, it was no longer necessary, since he had already slain six Beastmen.
Although the remaining six were stronger, Fang Jie still had five Dead Soul Bone Dragons left.
Indeed, only five remained; these individuals had strong assassination capabilities. Their Equipment was also prepared for assassination. The contact was extremely brief, yet his five Dead Soul Bone Dragons were destroyed so swiftly, and the survivors were also heavily injured.
Since the bones were useless, it was better not to use them at all and let the Foxman Demigod waste his efforts.
Fang Jie abandoned using bones. The Law of Life could not function under these circumstances, leaving him to rely solely on the Law of Death and the Law of Soul. Moved by a thought, his Soul Shock swept out.
It wasn’t a potent Demigod Skill, but it was enough to cause confusion in the souls of the Beastmen.
Taking this opportunity, Fang Jie pulled back while sending out three Death Touches once more. By the time they recovered, they found three more companions dead; now, only three remained.
The Foxman regretted not acting sooner to claim some credit.
However, it couldn’t be helped; the light circle outside wouldn’t disappear unless the marked person died or the circle exhausted its energy; otherwise, it would maintain itself indefinitely.
The intensity of this light circle was very high, impossible to break through without reaching Divine Level.
After all, this device was designed by Gods, and its creation process was highly complex.
Every use consumed a massive amount of Resources. Thus, unless truly elite forces capable of becoming gods or posing a threat were involved, they wouldn’t resort to such measures.
The Hunting Team usually didn’t employ this isolating light circle when assassinating strong enemies.
Fang Jie didn’t know this; he only knew that his own threat was much reduced now. His Spirit Shock targeted one, followed by a Death Touch. Regular attacks were simply not feasible.
This time prepared, two Beastmen dodged, but the one in the middle was still hit.
To them, Fang Jie’s Death Touch was an Instant Death Spell. A hit meant certain death.
"One down, two to go," said Fang Jie as his figure flashed away. With continuous dodging, Fang Jie found his evasion skills merging and becoming more fluid.
Yet, without Fighting Spirit or special speed magic enhancements, this speed was still too poor.
If he could employ those speed techniques, with his attributes, he could play them to death with speed alone.
"Playing these tricks isn’t my strong suit, it seems I need to prepare some Defense Magic. Maybe I need to get ready some speed magic too," Fang Jie thought wildly as he looked for opportunities.
The two were very cautious, and it took Fang Jie a while to find another chance, due to their significant difference in Strength.
His Spirit Shock disturbed their Souls, followed by another Death Touch.
Before another could come to the rescue, another perished. With only one remaining, it was much easier. In just a few minutes, Fang Jie found the opportunity and killed on the spot.
As for that Foxman, he was specifically trained to counter bone-type Laws.
His Combat Power was negligible. When Fang Jie looked at him, the Foxman’s furry head showed clear signs of aging; a significant portion of his Life Force had been burned.
Seeing his last companion die, he suddenly realized his doom.
"Evil Undead Mage, although you’ve won this time, victory belongs to the righteous. Someone will come to kill you one day," he said, to Fang Jie’s surprise.
How could this guy still believe in that righteousness concept after reaching Demigod status?
Besides, can righteousness be simply distinguished by Camp and Profession?
Dealing with such a delusional person, Fang Jie couldn’t be bothered to argue since he was clearly out of his mind. Just as the Foxman was about to say something else, suddenly, the ground’s bones grew into countless Bone Spurs.
The Foxman was instantly turned into a sieve, a massive Law impact forming inside his body. As he opened his mouth, he died. Fang Jie stepped forward to harvest their Souls, after all, they were his gains.
"What a pity, just commands in his head, not a single piece of useful information," Fang Jie realized. These were likely specially trained by the Beastmen, perhaps since they were ordinary people, which explained their rigid thinking.
But now, how would he get out? Fang Jie looked at the light halo; its intensity was extremely high.
After a while, a team of thirty-plus Demigods arrived; these were not his allies but a group he had never seen before. They looked through the barrier at the scene inside and were momentarily speechless.
They had sensed the use of special shielding techniques and had hurried over.
After all, the higher-ups had started taking Fang Jie seriously, which is why they had arrived so quickly. But they had only sensed a vast anomaly here and had rushed over.
Yet, what they found upon arrival was this scene.
