Chapter 348 - 354: Powerful Effects
Hang Yu began to undergo an astonishing transformation, his body coated in a layer of crimson, with both his skin color and hair changing. A figure that was not particularly tall and strong suddenly grew to over 2.5 meters, with a pair of scarlet wings spanning four or five meters unfolding behind him.
The sheer presence was intimidating enough!
Zhao Ming and Jiang Nan were both dumbfounded.
What kind of skill is this?
It’s too exaggerated!
Spirit Realm equipment does not have a fixed size; it automatically adjusts according to the body’s size, never appearing ill-fitting.
After Hang Yu transformed into the Demon Blood Lord, all his equipment changed as well. The Earth Dragon Fluctuation Spear, already extraordinarily large and long, now stretched to nearly five meters.
Strength!
Such powerful strength!
Hang Yu could clearly feel it.
This skill is almost twice as powerful as Bloodthirsty Frenzy.
However, the energy consumption is also much greater, with Life Energy being frantically depleted.
Under normal circumstances, Hang Yu could barely hold on for half a minute.
Now, with Jiang Nan, the super Doctor, and a group of Healing Soldiers, Hang Yu had fewer worries. He kicked off the ground, releasing a torrent of power that launched him into the air like a cannonball.
The wings unfolded.
He circled once.
And dove into the Lion Scorpion Beasts!
After transforming into the Demon Blood Lord, Hang Yu gained two hidden abilities.
The first is the ability to fly. The wings of the Demon Blood Lord differ from the Stone Wings of the Stone Golem set. The former flies more flexibly, without any restrictions, as if it were a natural ability.
The second is skill enhancement. In the state of the Demon Blood Lord, the skills within the inheritance chain receive a certain degree of enhancement, reducing cooldowns and increasing skill power.
The Lion Scorpion Beasts immediately noticed Hang Yu.
Their scorpion-like tails instantly stood erect.
One after another, deadly poisonous needles were launched.
Hang Yu burst into a Gale Instant Strike mid-air, followed by launching a Mad Charge.
At speeds imperceptible to the naked eye, he dodged most of the poisonous needles and charged into the group of Lion Scorpion Beasts.
The next second.
Swift Shadow Strike!
Jiang Nan and Zhao Ming couldn’t see clearly at all.
Even someone as strong as Bai could only see a blur of afterimages.
The shadows of the spear were unleashed instantly, rapidly attacking in all directions. Several Lion Scorpion Beasts were simultaneously harmed. The Life Energy loss caused by the blue weapon was significant.
"Roar!"
The Lion Scorpion Lord howled angrily and charged over.
Hang Yu was well aware of the strength of this creature, so he quickly threw out an Earth Dragon Wave.
The Lion Scorpion Lord, extremely agile, attempted to dodge with a sharp turn, but was hit from the side and toppled over. Although it suffered some damage, for a level 12 Lord, this damage wasn’t particularly severe.
It immediately got back up.
Its body surrounded by toxic gas.
It was about to attack Hang Yu.
Zhao Ming seized the chance to release "Absorption of Killing Intent."
This made the Lion Scorpion Lord immediately change its attack target to Zhao Ming.
Absorption of Killing Intent is a very crafty skill, similar to taunting in games; it can forcefully draw aggro and compel a target to attack oneself while continuously absorbing killing intent to enhance one’s Life Energy and attributes.
"Leave this to you guys!"
Zhao Ming knew well that the Lord Monsters have powerful wide-range damaging skills, so after drawing the Lion Scorpion Lord’s aggro, he turned and ran, forcibly leading the Lion Scorpion Lord away from the group of Monsters.
Lord Monsters have low intelligence.
But they have some, nonetheless.
Generally, Lord-level Monsters do not separate from the group, but under the influence of the skill, the Lion Scorpion Lord couldn’t control itself and was led along, with Bai’s cooperation, for a full two hundred meters.
Good!
In this way!
This Lord Monster won’t be a hindrance!
It cannot shake off Old Zhao’s allure, unless it kills Old Zhao in one go; otherwise, it cannot attack any other targets. With Bai and the three Healing Soldiers assisting, holding it off for three or four minutes shouldn’t be a problem.
Blade of Burning Blood!
Hang Yu launched another Third Tier Skill!
A surge of blood-red energy flowed through his hands into the weapon.
Making the Earth Dragon Fluctuation Spear seem to burn fiercely, forming an eight-meter Blood-Burning Blade.
Hang Yu swung the long spear in a wide arc.
First-Tier Skill!
Fierce Strike!
-180!
-182!
-179!
...
With an overwhelming momentum.
The Earth Dragon Fluctuation Spear, enhanced by the Blade of Burning Blood.
First struck the first Lion Scorpion Beast, piercing straight through its body. Then it struck the second Lion Scorpion Beast, piercing through once again, and finally cut into the third Lion Scorpion Beast, still piercing through, the entire process without obstruction.
Each Lion Scorpion Beast’s body seemed unscathed.
Yet they all suffered immense damage.
From Jiang Nan’s perspective.
She saw the Great God after his transformation suddenly turn his weapon into a Burning Blood Blade, then raise the long blade engulfed in blood-red flames, sweeping through several Monsters in an instant.
This blade seemed not to be solid!
It could pass through physical barriers.
Thus, in a mass battle, it could cause much wider destruction!
Jiang Nan discovered that several Lion Scorpion Beasts swept by Hang Yu were all affected by the Fierce Strike skill effect and were knocked back several meters, while the fluctuation effect of the Earth Dragon Fluctuation Spear also took place simultaneously.
-99!
-76!
-81!
Wave after wave stacked on each other.
Causing the Lion Scorpions to suffer even greater damage.
Too fierce! Too strong! The output is too impressive!
The scene was genuinely similar to sweeping through a thousand armies.
Jiang Nan’s eyes almost sparkled; is this Hang Yu’s true strength?
"He truly deserves to be called the Great God! He’s getting more and more formidable!"
Of course.
Do not underestimate!
On-site there are four Lion Scorpion Beast leaders.
They are equivalent to four 10th level Bronze Lords.
Moreover, nearly twenty Lion Scorpion Beasts are rapidly swarming in.
No matter how strong Hang Yu is, he cannot withstand it alone, so the soldiers must quickly press forward while Jiang Nan charges forward with his shield beside Hang Yu, constantly casting strong Healing Skills on him.
Er Gou was not idle either.
While sharing some of the damage for the boss, his clones intentionally drove the Lion Scorpion Beasts within Hang Yu’s attack range, allowing Hang Yu’s terrifying attacks to sweep several Lion Scorpion Beasts each time.
Hang Yu was too powerful!
His area output is domineering and unresolved!
Despite the Lion Scorpion Beasts having thick skin and high defense, they couldn’t withstand such an offensive, let alone a large troop of soldiers launching attacks.
The battle lasted only three to four minutes!
Hang Yu noticed that Old Zhao was under pressure, despite his defense being quite strong, he was struggling to fend off a 12th level Lord.
If not for Hang Xiaobai’s help, where every time Old Zhao seemed on the verge of defeat, she would promptly use strong Control Skills on the Lion Scorpion Beast Lord, granting Old Zhao a chance to catch his breath, he would have already been unable to hold out.
Hang Yu maintained his transformation.
Seven or eight Healing Soldiers followed closely behind, replenishing his health.
He led the soldiers in a rush against the Lion Scorpion Beast Lord; even though that creature had over sixteen hundred Life Energy and strong Defense, this situation was beyond saving.
Without suspense.
A few minutes later.
The Lion Scorpion Beast Lord fell.
Simultaneously absorbing six to seven hundred points of Spiritual Qi.
The Green Essence within Hang Yu’s body increased over 5% in one go.
Hang Yu released his transformation state, feeling a bit fatigued, realizing that although the Demon Blood Transformation was powerful, it imposed not a small burden on the body, greatly depleting stamina and energy.
However.
Undeniably.
This is absolutely a formidable skill!
The Lion Scorpion Beast Lord dropped five to six pieces of loot.
Three pieces of Green Equipment, one Green Skill Stone, and one Bright Green Quality blueprint; the equipment was 10th and 11th level Green Equipment, the Skill Stone was the Second Tier skill "Deadly Poison Curse" for Spiritual Professionals.
What genuinely caught Hang Yu’s interest was the blueprint.
[Artifact Refining Blueprint: Demon Scorpion Axe], 11th level blueprint, Green Upper Grade Quality.
This kind of Bright Green Quality blueprint.
Generally produces Blue Quality equipment.
The Demon Scorpion Axe is a one-handed weapon.
Hang Yu was just in need of a one-handed weapon.
Whether the weapon is a blade or a sword, or an axe or a hammer, it’s all the same.
Moreover, during the battle, after activating the Blood-Burning Blade, using them feels quite similar.
The Demon Scorpion Axe is manufactured very similarly to the Earth Dragon Fluctuation Spear, with its main material being a piece of 10th level Bright Green Equipment "Highly Poisonous Scorpion Axe" that the Lion Scorpion Beast Lord has a relatively high chance of dropping.
Fortunately, one was available on-site.
The remaining part of the materials can be collected through Collection Skill from the Lion Scorpion Lord, while the rest can be purchased from elsewhere.
Getting this weapon.
Will substantially enhance his solo capabilities.
Hang Yu and Bai swiftly collected from the Lion Scorpion Beast corpses.
The two quickly recovered some precious materials from these monsters.
Jiang Nan counted the number of soldiers and then said with a face full of frustration, "Ah, two infantry, one archer, and one Healing Soldier died."
Despite the battle being swift enough.
Losses still happened inevitably.
After all, there were four Lion Scorpion Beast leaders, whose skill damage was too strong, with poison attacks continuously reducing health, and their long-range attack abilities could kill soldiers in seconds.
Just sustaining such minor losses.
This can be considered excellent.
"It’s okay, only four, better than expected," said Hang Yu, "Today’s gain is substantial; let’s head back."
The hunt today was thoroughly completed.
The few returned fully loaded!
Hang Yu invested most of the absorbed Crystal Stones directly into soldier creation; as for the harvested equipment and Skill Stones, they kept some for internal use, while the rest were exchanged for materials.
While Hang Yu was busy dealing with equipment.
Er Gou suddenly ran over to report a situation: "Woof, boss, bad news, our reconnaissance squad has detected suspicious activity within the territory."
Hang Yu paused for a bit.
Suspicious activity appeared.
It was most likely related to nearby Lords.
Hang Yu immediately said: "Where is it? Investigate for me!"
Er Gou wagged his tail and said: "Woof, boss, rest assured, I’ve already sent Dog clones out, no matter where they are, as long as they’ve been in our territory, they will be found!"
