Chapter 620 - 617: Human Race vs. Demon Race
Bai Pu stared at Zhang Tao in front of him.
He had long known Zhang Tao’s information, Dark Desire Indulger, a profession with very special skills, he indulges in his own dark desires to harvest satisfaction points, which he uses to amplify his attributes and skills power.
This profession itself leans toward crime, akin to many Awakened criminals’ mutant skills, belonging to the mutant profession, mutated in Zhang Tao’s Professional Plane. In that plane, Zhang Tao worshiped the Master of Indulgence and became his Voter.
Bang bang bang!
Zhang Tao pulled out a glittering handgun, firing three shots at Bai Pu.
The three bullets traced out three different arcs, each bullet trajectory trailing a differently colored tail.
Red, green, blue.
The red bullet carried an emotion of rage, representing the Flame Attribute.
The green bullet carried a silvery evil emotion, representing the Erosion Attribute.
The blue bullet carried an arrogant desire, representing the Frost Attribute.
With each attack, the Dark Desire Indulger can attach up to (80) corresponding desire satisfaction points to amplify skill power!
The Fire of Fury is pure damage, Erosion Silver is for damaging the target’s Armor, and Pride of Frost is control on speed.
Zhang Tao’s strategy was simple, he had studied Bai Pu’s information, knowing that Bai Pu is skilled in Close Combat and is a High Armor Tank, so slowing down + kiting, relying on the continuous burn damage of the Fire of Fury is his tactic.
Bai Pu’s body surface spread open a layer of Volcano Shield, raising his hand to thrust out a Short Spear, a colorful Fighting Qi Spirit Arrow shot out, striking down the flame bullet among them.
The other two bullets hit Bai Pu but caused minimal damage, leaving only ripples on the Volcano Shield.
As for the Corrosive Armor and the Frost Slow Effect, Bai Pu took them head-on.
[Awakened Jade-faced Young Master initiates an attack on you, within 30 minutes you may launch a legitimate defensive counterattack. Killing the target won’t increase Bloody Value, and the Bloody Treasure Chest drop rating +1.]
Time to make a move.
Bai Pu raised his hand to cast Suppression, which Zhang Tao deflected, then a Lasso Strike, forcibly dragging Zhang Tao to his front.
The Short Spear thrust out like a lightning flash, Zhang Tao had not yet recovered from the Second Level Phantom of the mountain collapse, his chest suffering intense pain, followed by an explosion of Qi Force tearing through his body.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, Zhang Tao’s body burst apart.
At that moment, his expression was one of confusion.
His equipment-augmented Shield, self-cultivated Shield Skills, and a total of two different Damage Reduction Abilities were unable to prevent a one-hit kill!
What kind of perverse power was I up against?
Zhang Tao’s consciousness faded to black.
Bai Pu lightly shook his Short Spear, a bead of blood slid down.
The side door opened, and several Awakened staff in white coats silently entered to clean up the aftermath.
A female voice over the broadcast said helplessly, "Gangxin, can’t you be a little more refined? Every time you turn it into such a bloody mess, the staff have a hard time."
"Got it, Sister Ling."
Bai Pu knew Li Ling was joking and didn’t mind, waving his hand.
He directly opened Zhang Tao’s leftover Bloody Treasure Chest.
This guy’s Slaughter Value wasn’t low, as much as 42 points. After excluding the Storage Space items and Equipment, Bai Pu drew twice.
Luck was on his side; both Spoils Card draws gained Honor Points, one with 4,109 and the other with 4,337.
Li Ling asked, "How much Honor do you have now?"
"Over thirty-six thousand, just under four thousand away from the Golden Colonel."
Bai Pu exhaled, "Jade-faced Young Master Zhang Tao, this guy contributed the highest Honor Points of the criminals I’ve encountered recently."
Aside from the Honor Points, Zhang Tao’s death also provided Bai Pu with 2 Celestial Human Attribute Points. This guy’s attributes had reached 80% of Bai Pu’s All Attributes standard, making him a "formidable enemy."
However, Bai Pu’s Combat Power Amplitude was too high; whether Mystical Arts, Equipment, or Skills, all crushed Zhang Tao, making victory without suspense.
Li Ling said, "It’s a pity Zhang Tao was the last suitable Awakened criminal. Other criminals are too low-Level and weak; even if they attack you, you wouldn’t get a Bloody Treasure Chest."
Most Awakened criminals apprehended by the Special Service Bureau are low-level and mid-level Awakened.
High-level Awakened criminals are basically A-level Wanted Criminals. Capturing them is very challenging, hence their scarcity.
With Bai Pu’s current strength, only high-level Awakened criminals can consistently provide him with Bloody Treasure Chests.
The other mid to low-level criminals, even if they dropped a chest, often wouldn’t have Honor Points to draw, because Spirit Realm wars mainly erupt in the Advanced Spirit Realm.
"To accumulate Honor Points next, I’ll have to consider participating in a Spirit Realm war..."
Bai Pu silently contemplated, recently he had been reviewing materials, checking the Spirit Realm development progress of various forces in Huaxia.
Gaia’s Will and other Spirit Realm wars are simultaneously erupting in multiple Advanced Plane Worlds, with many of Huaxia’s major forces involved.
Since Speaker Wan last met with Bai Pu and reached a consensus, the official side has secretly gathered a group of reputable major leaders, revealing them the intelligence about the Sea Race invasion.
As the head of the Hero Gang, Wushan Divine Lady was also invited to sit in among them.
Of course, these people signed nondisclosure agreements in advance to ensure secrecy.
Many major forces had already sensed something amiss, after all, the extreme price surge of high-end niche materials on the international market cannot be hidden from those with keen intentions.
Upon learning of the Sea Race invasion crisis, all the leaders of various forces readily agreed to the official proposal.
The first point was for major forces to share resources, jointly forming the Huaxia Legion, and nominate Bai Pu as the Commander of the Huaxia Legion’s Spirit Realm War.
Fortunately, Bai Pu had won the Celestial Human Title, proving his strength. Otherwise, given his age, it would have been difficult for him to convince the masses.
Other aspects, like joint procurement of materials and so on, were not concerns for Bai Pu.
Through comprehensive analysis of intelligence from various Plane Worlds by the Huaxia Legion, Bai Pu currently preliminarily determines that the next three Plane Worlds are likely to erupt in major battles with otherworld travelers.
These three Plane Worlds are the Elemental Throne World, Jurassic World, and Silicon Spark World.
In the Elemental Throne World, the emerging race is the Fox Race; in Jurassic World, it is the Quanrong; in the Silicon Spark World, it is the Winged Serpent Tribe.
These three races all belong to a major race—the Demon Race!
In other words, Gaia’s Will is currently in a battle against Wuya’s Will of the Demon Race, Humans against Demons.
The Sea Race is also a branch of the Demon Race, and Bai Pu has reason to believe that the Sea Race’s assault on Yazd Star and Earth is an expansion of this Spirit Realm war.
Of course, besides these three worlds, there are also some other worlds where Otherworld Travelers appear, and major battles could erupt, but the frequency of Otherworld Travelers appearing is not as high as in these three worlds.
Suddenly, Li Ling’s voice sounded, "Gangxin, come out quickly, there’s a new situation that requires your attention."
