Hei Deng Xia Huo

Chapter 629 Safe

“Fight, then. Why are you taking off your coat?”

Li Ang retorted, “The main thing is, your figure isn’t even that good. No muscles, no definition. You clearly haven't done any figure management.”

Mind your own business!

Hei Shi Tidao, wearing a simple short sleeve shirt, had a somewhat distorted expression. He cracked his knuckles and said coldly, “You think you can win like this? How naive!”

Cracking sounds erupted from his body, and he grew taller as his muscles inflated as if they were being pumped with air.

His short sleeves burst open, brown, stiff hairs grew under his skin, and his lower legs bent backwards below the knee.

“Oh, oh!”

Announcer Number One, Speedwagon, said loudly, “The contestant Hei Shi Tidao has transformed into a werewolf!

Werewolf bloodlines can grant players extremely strong close combat abilities, self-healing abilities, and resistance to attacks in the early stages.

In the middle and late stages, there is also room for job advancement.”

“Wait! Something seems off!”

Announcer Number Two, Avdol, corrected, “Look at his face! A werewolf’s skull protrudes outward, but his face is flat and has no hair growth, maintaining a human face with four fangs outside his mouth.

This should be the perfect bloodline of a legendary dark creature,

Perfectly integrating the characteristics of both the blood race and the werewolf,

Having both the werewolf’s powerful body and the ability to use the blood race’s bizarre spells!”

“Roar!”

Hei Shi Tidao roared in a low voice, “This is what I gained in a world similar to the movie *Underworld*.

You suppressed your strength, and I suppressed mine.

Now, let me show you the true power of this body!”

With that, the werewolf monster swung his arms back and then forward!

His palms slammed together, creating a visible ring of shockwaves that blasted towards Li Ang.

Li Ang didn't dodge or evade, slamming his palms together on the ground, causing a stone wall half a meter thick to rise in front of him.

Boom!

The shockwave shattered the stone wall. Before Li Ang could react, Hei Shi Tidao slammed his wolf claws and feet into the ground, leaping across the arena,

Firing ten blood arrows from the tips of his fingers, accurately hitting all the metal spears pinning down the black robe in his high-speed movement.

The blood arrows were condensed from the blood essence of the blood race, possessing strong corrosive properties.

An ordinary member of the blood race would feel empty for half a day after firing one, while Hei Shi Tidao could rely on the self-healing ability brought by his perfect bloodline to forcibly activate them regardless of the drain on his body.

The metal spears struck by the blood arrows emitted a "hissing" sound and melted on the spot. The black robe, now freed, surged like a lake.

Hei Shi Tidao extended his wolf claws, grabbed the black robe, and shook it violently, causing it to rapidly shrink, eventually transforming into a jet-black samurai longsword.

Li Ang calmly watched Hei Shi Tidao charge towards him (he was wearing a dragon head mask, so others couldn't see his expression), maintaining his palms-on-the-ground posture.

He continued to activate the alchemy array, causing the arena to sprout upward-sloping conical stone pillars.

The dense, cone-shaped stone pillars spread rapidly, leaving almost no room to stand on the entire arena.

“Hmph!”

Hei Shi Tidao sneered, brandishing the samurai longsword formed from the black robe.

A strand of silk split from the tip of the blade, then expanded into a wide curtain.

Using the momentum of the sword swing, it extended forward, covering the stone pillar forest like a straight carpet, leading to the other side of the arena.

The werewolf Hei Shi Tidao leaped onto the carpet, nimbly and swiftly stepping across the curtain,

Spinning the longsword, causing the blade to spew out a twenty-meter-long aura of dark sword qi.

The long stream of sword qi wrapped around the blade like surging waves, with hints of scarlet visible within—the corrosive energy belonging to the blood race.

“Die!”

Hei Shi Tidao roared, swinging the longsword and slashing at his enemy with its twenty meters of dark sword qi.

Li Ang didn't dodge or evade, continuing to use alchemy to create layers of thick stone walls in front of him.

The seemingly slow and sluggish sword qi suddenly accelerated in mid-air, covering the long distance and gently stroking the stone wall.

Without any sound, a slanted mark appeared abruptly on the three-meter-wide, half-meter-thick stone wall.

After a brief delay, the upper half of the stone wall quietly slid down along the smooth, slanted mark and crashed heavily to the ground.

Not just one, this sword qi penetrated all nine stone walls, still undiminished, cutting towards Li Ang's neck.

“Hee hee hee ha ha ha ha!”

Hei Shi Tidao, rushing forward, laughed wildly. He could already foresee his opponent being hit in the neck by this blade, blood spurting out,

Only able to futilely cover his neck, staring wide-eyed in disbelief, staring at him until death.

“Douqi Emission!” (Douqi = inner force/cultivation energy)

Announcer Speedwagon said in shock, "Contestant Hei Shi Tidao can even do this! In most Douqi systems, even master-level figures can only emit about ten meters of sword qi.

But he can extend his sword qi to twenty meters!”

“Yes!”

Announcer Number Two, Avdol, was equally astonished, “This may also be the effect of the perfect bloodline!

Ordinary Douqi masters can actually emit Douqi twenty meters, but they don’t do it,

Firstly, because Douqi that is too long is difficult to control, making it difficult to effectively injure enemies.

Secondly, because the efficiency of meridians releasing Douqi takes precedence. Continuously outputting Douqi can potentially damage one's own body.

But the perfect bloodline allows contestant Hei Shi Tidao to use his beastial instincts to firmly lock onto his enemy.

At the same time, it can rapidly heal damaged meridians, maintaining this terrifying Douqi output power!”

The two announcers weren’t just spouting nonsense.

Their organization, the Watchers, as the official partner of the Sky Arena, naturally had access to some special items.

One of them was a detector,

Which could roughly detect the type of energy the players used, the general category of spells they cast, and the special effects of the equipment they activated.

The power systems in the Killing Game were strange and varied, encompassing everything.

Without the detector, the two announcers wouldn't be able to explain anything and could only spout nonsense like, "This kid is terrifying, he must not be allowed to live," "This contestant has the bearing of a Great Emperor!"

Hei Shi Tidao on the arena didn't hear what the announcers were babbling about.

His palms were tightly gripping the trembling sword hilt, adjusting the direction of the blade, watching the long sword qi about to strike Li Ang, his eyes filled with violence and elation.

However, the next second, Li Ang disappeared from the spot—the soil beneath his feet suddenly melted and sank, engulfing his entire body.

“Trying to run?!”

Hei Shi Tidao grinned, stopped his charge, stood on the curtain, and looked down at the arena.

His jet-black eyes could see the direction of all energy.

Even if Li Ang sank into the ground,

He couldn't block his energy fluctuations, which would indicate his location to Hei Shi Tidao in the form of flames.

“Let me see, you’re… here!”

Hei Shi Tidao spun the sword hilt, held the sword in both hands, and thrust it down heavily.

*Pfft*—

Blood spurted from the crack in the ground. A hint of joy flashed in Hei Shi Tidao's eyes, followed by astonishment.

The blood wasn't warm, and judging by the smell, it wasn't human blood…

Boom!

The ground suddenly exploded. Li Ang burst out of the ground, his left hand holding a broken, translucent, blood-soaked sphere, and his right hand wielding a bronze long scythe.

The blood that had just splattered wasn't from Li Ang himself, but from a blood bag made of earthworm secretions that he was holding.

The enhanced modification of the Biological Blueprint required basic substances such as biological cells and water, and the blood bag was equivalent to a material storage.

In a flash of lightning, Li Ang, covered in blood, first released the Drowning Assassination Technique towards Hei Shi Tidao, causing his throat to spew warm water.

Then, he swung the bronze long scythe, severing his opponent's arms and legs.

Extreme pain entered Hei Shi Tidao's mind after a brief delay.

Just as he was about to surrender, Li Ang's hand grabbed the back of his neck, his index fingertip ignoring the hard, brown fur, piercing through skin and muscle, and stabbing into the cerebellum,

Preventing him from even forming the thought of surrender.

“Don’t be afraid.”

Li Ang reached out and wiped the blood from his face, activated the Biological Blueprint to stop Hei Shi Tidao's injuries, and whispered in the latter's stunned ear, "You are safe now."
