Chapter 84 A Real Man Keeps His Word
As Gu Su’s sinister and sharp voice rang out, the shadow servant in his palm turned directly into powder.
A flash of green light disappeared into Qiao Yu’s body.
Puchi!
With the sound of flesh being pierced, Qiao Yu’s guandao (偃月刀) chopped down directly from Gu Su’s shoulder.
This strike almost split Gu Su in half, even revealing his beating heart.
The audience on the stands collectively gasped.
With this strike, wouldn’t he be meeting his ancestors? This Qiao Yu is too ruthless!
“Ugh!”
Qiao Yu, who had delivered the blow, suddenly clutched his shoulder, coughing up blood as he retreated.
A bright red “-496” floated above his head.
Conversely, Gu Su, who had been struck, wore a triumphant expression. His body was still bleeding profusely, appearing bizarre.
Immediately afterward, the bloody gash on Gu Su’s body healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Damn it, it’s that move again! Brother Yu, be careful, all your attacks on him will be reflected onto yourself!” Yang Xiangdi cursed, then began loudly reminding Qiao Yu.
“This examinee, please do not disrupt the order of the examination hall.”
The proctor glared coldly at Yang Xiangdi. Yang Xiangdi shrank his neck, his eyes filled with unconcealed worry.
He had confidence in Qiao Yu’s strength, but Gu Su’s ability was simply too bizarre.
Qiao Yu’s heart jolted, his eyes flickering uncertainly as well.
Gu Su’s ability must have some limitations. If it was an unlimited reflection of damage, Gu Su would have been invincible long ago.
“Hehe, I have to admit, you do have some strength.”
Gu Su wore a cold smile.
“Apart from you and that fatty, others can’t even defeat my shadow servants. In Sucheng, you’re the second person to force me to use Sacrifice.”
“However, you don’t think that you’ll be fine if you don’t attack me, do you?”
Gu Su raised his hand, and a sharp dagger with a blood groove appeared in his hand.
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Gu Su unhesitatingly stabbed the dagger into his own heart.
Afraid that Qiao Yu wasn’t enjoying it enough, Gu Su even twisted the dagger in the location of his heart.
“Hmmph!”
Qiao Yu let out a muffled groan, veins popping on his forehead.
“Qiao Yu, concede, you can’t possibly be my opponent.”
Gu Su pulled out the blood-soaked dagger.
“If you concede now, the conditions I promised you earlier still stand.”
“Concede your mom.”
Gu Su’s expression darkened, while a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. Logically speaking, the reaction to being stabbed through the heart shouldn’t be this small. How does this kid still have the ability to talk back?
Little did he know that his stab to the heart was far less damaging than Qiao Yu’s own normal attack.
“Since you’re so stubborn, then don’t blame me.”
Gu Su shook his head and stabbed the dagger into his own waist.
“Hiss!”
Qiao Yu inhaled sharply, a wave of pain coming from his lower back.
Immediately afterward, a look of horror appeared in Qiao Yu’s eyes for the first time!
He saw the Gu Su opposite him actually making a stance to castrate himself…
“You beast, stop!”
Qiao Yu slashed the dagger in Gu Su’s right arm with his blade.
“Sacrifice・Shadow Assimilation.”
Gu Su immediately raised his hand and absorbed a shadow servant into his hand, and another shadow servant turned into powder.
“-496”
Qiao Yu coughed up blood and retreated again. For the first time, he felt that his attack power being too high wasn’t a good thing.
He stared intently at Gu Su, thoughts racing through his mind.
It seemed that every time he attacked Gu Su, Gu Su would immediately sacrifice a shadow servant.
What were the limitations of this skill? If it could only reflect one attack, how could he explain that when he stabbed himself with a dagger later, all the damage was on himself?
To verify his guess, Qiao Yu unhesitatingly charged toward Gu Su with his blade again.
Gu Su’s expression changed, and he sacrificed another shadow servant. Only the last shadow servant on the field remained.
Qiao Yu spat out blood and flew backward, but his face was full of excitement. He had clearly seen Gu Su’s casting process.
He also saw the green light that flashed across his body.
“Tai Xuezheng, it seems this kid has already discovered something. Have someone bring your Maotai over.” Hong Jianguo laughed from the stands.
“Hmph! Don’t be too happy, being able to discover it doesn’t mean he can break it!” Tai Xuezheng was unwilling to admit defeat as well.
Qiao Yu on the arena stood up, leaning on his guandao (偃月刀). He already knew where the problem lay.
“Gu Su, if I’m not mistaken, you can only be entangled by Shadow Assimilation when you sacrifice, right?”
“As long as I avoid attacking you during the moment of your sacrifice, I’ll be fine.”
“Hmph! Naive! How could my skill be seen through so easily?” Gu Su sneered.
“Is that so?”
Qiao Yu stuck the guandao (偃月刀) into the arena, instantly damaging two floor tiles.
Proctor: “…”
“Then let’s make a bet. If I’m wrong, you win.”
Qiao Yu put on the Shaking Light Knuckle Claws, staring fiercely at Gu Su.
“If I’m right, you might die from this punch.”
This kid actually wanted him to experience the pain of having his thing broken off, so it would be difficult to relieve Qiao Yu’s hatred if he didn’t give him a critical hit.
“Oh? You can try if you’re not afraid of death.” Gu Su was as steady as an old dog, putting his hands behind his back and secretly absorbing the last shadow servant into his hand.
Qiao Yu didn’t waste any words and charged toward Gu Su with a movement speed of 9 points.
Qiao Yu swung out a punch with all his strength, the airflow creating a fierce gale.
“Sacrifice・Shadow Assimilation.”
Gu Su chanted silently in his heart, and a green light flashed onto Qiao Yu again.
But what made Gu Su’s chrysanthemum tighten was that Qiao Yu’s punch stopped in front of his face, blowing his hair into a middle part!
“You don’t think I can’t see you casting from behind your butt, do you?”
Qiao Yu revealed a kind smile.
“Now, it’s time to verify my guess. Don’t you dare dodge.”
“Dodge? If I dodge even once, I’ll call you daddy three times on the spot!” Gu Su sneered.
“Okay, you said it.”
Qiao Yu directly activated the Skeleton King Ring and punched out, and a sonic boom rang out in the air.
“Shadow Guard!”
A dark circular shield suddenly appeared on Gu Su’s body. Qiao Yu punched down, and Gu Su bounced wildly on the arena like a ball.
“-125”
The shield shattered, and Gu Su spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell to the ground.
“Didn’t you say I was wrong? Then why did you defend?” Qiao Yu asked.
“You just tell me if I dodged or not!”
Qiao Yu: “…”
Could you have dodged from that distance?
Gu Su wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled to climb up. His heart was filled with terror.
Shadow Guard was a powerful defensive skill that could withstand the full attack of an ordinary boss, but this Qiao Yu shattered it with one punch.
Doesn’t that mean that the damage from this man’s punch is more terrifying than that of an ordinary boss of the same level?
