Chapter 898 - 398: Speculation (2)
The Tribulation Thunder Incarnation is well acquainted with these two powerful Ghosts, but for some reason, their Speed and Power greatly exceed his expectations. At this moment, he can only rely on his instincts to summon the Glaive from the Murder Ghost’s [Heroic Spirit Myth] for defense, while the [Imperial Five Dragon Crown] on his head emits a glow to form a Shield.
Yet, at this time, another Sword Aura flashes, coming from that seemingly ordinary Swordsman!
His hands have always held the handle, his pair of dark gray eyes are locked onto the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation, like a Great Bow stretched to its limit, ready to strike!
At this moment, as the blade is drawn from its sheath, the intense incandescence illuminates the entire sky, as if all that remains in the world is this Sword Aura!
The Tribulation Thunder Incarnation had no time to react as the Sword Aura shattered the Shield of the [Imperial Five Dragon Crown], then heavily slashed upon his body!
"Screeeech—"
An extremely sharp and grating sound of Metal rubbing resounded, the [Divine Living Weight Armor] appeared on the surface of the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation, colliding with the Sword Aura and bursting into a great blaze!
"Boom!"
The figure of the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation was sent flying, heavily crashing against the wall of the Star Jumping Ship, a horrifying crack appeared on his chest, the [Divine Living Weight Armor] was cleaved apart, faintly revealing the chilling white bones.
Nevertheless, this was an extremely formidable Divine Artifact, and the wound on its surface rapidly healed, the massive Life Energy began to repair the body of the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation.
The difference in strength between the two was indeed overwhelming, even though the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation took the blow virtually unguarded, he couldn’t possibly be killed so easily, not even severely injured, merely forced to reveal one of his trump cards.
After all, the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation is a complete replication of Chu Xiu, his endless trump cards can even make Chu Xiu himself headache!
However, after dealing with this wave of the Ghost’s attack, the face of the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation, identical to Chu Xiu’s, showed no hint of joy, but rather revealed a rare solemn expression.
He no longer looked towards the distant Ghosts, but instead at Chu Xiu entangled by the Six Desire Celestial Demon, solemnly saying, "Did you find out?"
At that time, the Six Desire Celestial Demon was already tearing at the core of Chu Xiu’s Soul Body, yet he did not seem afraid, and his expression returned to its usual calm, saying lightly, "Don’t forget, you and I have the same origin, you can guess my thoughts, and I can deduce your weaknesses based on your methods!"
Once these words were spoken, the face of the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation turned even more grim!
The conversation between them seemed cryptic, but for them, it actually explained everything to each other!
When first encountering the Six Desire Celestial Demon, Chu Xiu was indeed completely bewildered, especially after discovering that even the Void God Mode couldn’t shake off the other, his heart couldn’t help but rise with deep despair.
This is human nature, yet what sets Chu Xiu apart is that, even in dire straits, as long as he has a breath left, he instinctively thinks of ways to counterattack!
The words of the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation are true, they originate from the same source, so before the battle began, he had already anticipated all of Chu Xiu’s countermeasures.
But Chu Xiu had precisely based on this point to discover the other’s weak spot!
Because, if the roles were reversed, with Chu Xiu’s character, he would definitely not idle in victory, but would first seize the opportunity to add insult to injury, striving to annihilate the enemy in the quickest way possible!
The Tribulation Thunder Incarnation shares the same origin with Chu Xiu, his action can only mean one thing, that he has some kind of limitation!
Following this train of thought, Chu Xiu continued to deduce.
If the Six Desire Celestial Demon was indeed invincible, plus the other body’s Basic Attributes were absurdly high, how would he act from the standpoint of the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation?
Undoubtedly, he would seize the opportunity while the Civilization Envoy and Chu Xiu were still guarding against each other, waiting for Chu Xiu to be alone, then directly appear to blast Chu Xiu!
At that time, they hadn’t even collected all the Divine Artifacts, even if Chu Xiu didn’t end up alone, and the Civilization Envoys foolishly continued helping him, they couldn’t possibly resist the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation.
Yet he didn’t do it.
From this aspect, a conclusion can be drawn, that in the view of the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation, the double kill setup of Tribulation and God corpses offers a higher success rate than acting himself!
Considering these two points, this action by the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation is far from foolproof, but instead has a very high failure rate!
"So he would first solve one person via a surprise attack, then recruit and divide other Civilization Envoys to isolate me."
"If the strength was enough to crush, why play psychological tactics?"
Thinking through this, Chu Xiu was able to confirm that the other must possess an undiscovered weakness, otherwise he wouldn’t act as he has!
Following this line of thought, in the midst of entanglement with the Six Desire Celestial Demon while not attacking, yet playing psychological games by nagging beside Chu Xiu, the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation’s behavior seemed very suspicious.
"Could it be that when he activates the Rule, he can’t move or his body gets greatly weakened?"
This was Chu Xiu’s first thought.
But he dismissed it immediately.
The same reverse correlation suggests if he were the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation, holding such a substantial weakness, he would definitely launch a surprise attack from afar, daring to appear among Chu Xiu and the Civilization Envoys, according to Chu Xiu’s own nature, would at least possess some self-defense power.
With doubts lingering in his heart, Chu Xiu activated the Demon Sword to test, simultaneously employing the same strategy of the past confronting the crimson fog, hiding the Ghost within the Demon Sword, even if it’s unsuccessful, it would allow the Ghostly Legion to approach the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation and continue stalling.
