Chapter 176: Chapter 139: Asura Token (Part 2)

Foundation Establishment Bloodline, family legacy, what does it matter having a noble origin?

In the Demonic Messenger battles, there is nothing as gentle as fighting in the Secret Realm—only the pain of each cut drawing blood. The weak can only die in fear and suffering, becoming nourishment for the strong!

So, why aren’t you afraid yet?

Don’t you feel pain?

At this moment, the girl’s pace suddenly quickened. She passed through the Purple Luo Smoke’s mist, approaching Ye Kai. The sword’s edge aimed at Ye Kai’s throat for a thrust, the sword tip glowing with a flowing blue light, like a brilliant blue lightning slicing through the darkness, mysterious and filled with killing intent!

Even Helan Que would find it hard to dodge at this distance, but for Ye Kai, it was not a problem. His Third-Turned Profession, the Poisonous Messenger, allows him to hit and evade more easily when fighting poisoned enemies. Specifically, it lets him sense the enemy’s every move. Just as the Rabbit Heroine’s shoulder moved, he sensed the direction of the Rare Longsword’s thrust.

From the moment of poisoning, the opponent was already a dying prey.

But Ye Kai’s attention was fully captured by the Rabbit Heroine’s gauntlets. As she launched her direct attack, the Hand of Melting Hundred Forms could no longer conceal its legendary brilliance, the dazzling orange light illuminating Ye Kai’s cloudy eyes!

Legendary Token!

It is indeed legendary!

No wonder she shows no pain despite the poisoning; it must be the power of the Legendary Token!

To think, how could such a young girl endure the torment of poison through willpower alone?

Untaken gifts from heaven bring self-inflicted misfortune!

This truly is my opportunity, Ye Kai’s chance to seize!

As he dodged the thrust, an exhilarated Ye Kai struck a full-force palm at the Rabbit Heroine, a rolling wave of purple smoke spewing forth.

He saw the girl immediately leap sideways attempting to evade, a cold smile playing in his heart—the poison had already penetrated through her defenses, infiltrating her entire system. At this moment, further evasion was—

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a brilliant blue sword light dazzled Ye Kai’s eyes. The Rabbit Heroine, in such a difficult airborne environment, managed to unleash rapid, consecutive stabs with immense speed and power!

Because she was so fast, it looked as if she only made one stab!

Snap!

In Ye Kai’s stunned gaze, his protective barrier shattered with a roar. Even his Second-Turn Defensive Token, the ’Emerald Green Pendant,’ broke directly!

But there was no time to lament, as the blue sword was almost at his face, the sword’s icy light like a serpentine tongue, ready to pierce through his throat the next instant!

Whp. Ye Kai used the Hundred Poison Silk Hand to slap away the sword edge, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow, but the sword edge grazed his cheek, adding a fresh cut to his already scarred face.

He seemed unaware, staring at the Rabbit Heroine in sheer terror, as if witnessing a monster.

"Are you... the Heavy Rain Messenger!?" His lips trembled, "But how are you unscathed? A Heavy Rain Messenger, attacking so many times, should be bleeding from body cracks. How can you be unharmed!?"

Yan Qing raised an eyebrow, this was the first time someone guessed his profession in the game.

"Heavy Rain Messenger (Rare)"

"Attribute Bonus: Qi Blood +8, Spirit +2, Agility +10"

"Rainfall (Blue Trait): When holding a weapon with both hands, basic attack power +5, attack speed +40."

"Heavy Rain (Blue Trait): When you perform a perfect dodge, your attack speed increases by 1000% for the next 0.35 seconds. Can only trigger once every thirty seconds."

The Rabbit Heroine managed to stab nine times in one second just now, relying on this Heavy Rain time profession trait.

Though it can only be triggered once every thirty seconds, it suits the Seven Steps Buddhist chant’s damage accumulation explosion ability perfectly. Combined with the Hand of Melting Hundred Forms’ ’Direct Strike’ to further boost attack speed, the three complement each other to form a high-speed, intensive damage output style in a short burst.

By dodging into Heavy Rain state, boosting speed with Direct Strike, she unleashed a blitz of rapid attacks to trigger the Seven Steps Buddhist chant’s cumulative critical damage effect!

Yan Qing meant to intentionally create this ’attack-speed damage burst’ build, not expecting such good results. Instantly shattering Ye Kai’s defensive token left him darkly delighted—with this build, utilizing his resources, this was the very effect he sought!

He had regretted not using this move when fighting Helan Que earlier since Helan Que had a slightly longer attack range than the Rabbit Heroine, which meant that even with Heavy Rain time triggered, the Rabbit Heroine couldn’t hit him. Attack range is the biggest limitation for this build.

But why did Ye Kai say that a Heavy Rain Messenger attacking multiple times would cause body cracks and bleeding? There’s no negative effect in the Heavy Rain Messenger’s profession traits.

Nevertheless, he had no mind to ask. The Rabbit Heroine moved forward briskly, wielding the Seven Steps Buddhist Chant, looking as if she were happily heading to butcher a chicken.

Ye Kai felt a shiver down his spine. If not for witnessing the Rabbit Heroine’s blistering nine-sword strike, he would never believe that this smaller girl before him was the fearsome Heavy Rain Messenger, even within the Demon Dao.

Ordinary Demonic Messengers cruelly torment others; Heavy Rain Messengers are even ruthless to themselves. They no longer consider themselves human, mercilessly abusing themselves in pursuit of power!

Moreover, the opponent’s Legendary Token seems capable of resisting poison. Otherwise, it’s inexplicable how she shows no sign of poison spread after fighting for such a time.

Anyone else would be rolling on the ground in pain by now!

As the saying goes, the older the Jianghu, the timider. Facing tonight’s unexpected situations, Ye Kai was ready to retreat, launching a palm at the Rabbit Heroine, then turning to flee.

Now it was Yan Qing’s turn to be troubled. After all, with Ye Kai launching poisonous palms while retreating, it was hard to say whether he’d get skewered by the sword first or if the Rabbit Heroine would succumb to the poison.

Just then, a sound stirred from the bushes beside them.

Ye Kai and the Rabbit Heroine both glanced over to see Chen Afu emerging. Ye Kai breathed a sigh of relief, a joyful grin blooming as he shouted, "Hurry over, help your master capture this little girl!"

Greed for the Legendary Token surged again. Two against one ensured victory. Ye Kai’s mind schemed not how to deal with the girl, but how to betray his own disciple—for the Legendary Token, even the closest bond, such as master and apprentice or father and son, could turn to enmity!

"Escape..."

Chen Afu only managed to utter one word before his towering body was stomped into the soil. A nimble figure stepped on his back, leaping high, with a spear lunging at Ye Kai!
