Chapter 396: Birth of Extinguisher

Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem

Some people were powerful, but they were unable to unleash all of it. Because of that, a term like combat strength had come into existence. It measured how much power a person could use in battle.

People who didn't have enough combat strength may not have learned high level battle skills. But in short, they were existences who couldn't unleash their full strength, only able to display it like an elephant who shows off its tusks, but uses different teeth to eat.

Li Yunmu, however, didn't lack in anything. He possessed Violent Blade, Wind God Tornado Kick, and Insect Step, which were lost battle skills of ancient times. Those skills were suitable for the unique dangerous situation he found himself in at that moment and would allow him to unleash combat strength which far surpassed his strength.

For example, He Miao and Wang Ru could only unleash 40% to 50% of their strength. Lu Zhong, on the other hand, could still maintain his calm. He had also built himself a good foundation by having been a physical flux expert once and gained a lot of experience. Because of all that, he could unleash 90% of his total strength, sometimes even reaching 95%.

With great desire to survive fueling him,he could even force himself to unleash all 100% of his strength in combat.

Then what was the percentage of Li Yunmu's strength used in combat? If numbers were used to describe his condition, then it was 300%. Yes, in that unique environment, he was able to display 300% of his strength in combat.

What sort of heaven-defying monster was he?

By then, whether it was He Miao or Wang Ru or even Lu Zhong, all of them had cold sweat going down their back while watching Li Yunmu's rampage. They had never expected that the low-spoken person who had always tried to reduce his presence could be so terrifying.

Looking at Li Yunmu's performance, all of them realized something when they saw him kill ten enormous ants in ten breaths—Zhang Yuan was far from being a match for him, so far away that he might never be able to catch up.

"Still not going, are you all idiots?"

Li Yunmu seemed to have grown eyes at his back and began scolding his three companions.

In a few minutes, there were hundreds of giant ant corpses lying all around. Under Li Yunmu's 300% of combat strength, the ants rushing toward him from all direction were killed mercilessly, thus opening the retreat path which had been blocked.

"Then what about you?" Wang Yu subconsciously shouted.

"Forget about me, worry about yourself first."

Li Yunmu didn't turn back. He continued killing the densely packed giant ants rushing toward him.

Wang Ru tightly bit her lip and said with tears filling her eyes, "Then take care of yourself… you must definitely return!"

It was fortunate that the path once filled with leaf blades but which had been opened by Lu Zhong could be used for retreat without the fear of being ripped apart.

As they left, Li Yunmu who had previously hadn't had much of a presence, already possessed a profound impression in their hearts.

When the silhouettes of the three had disappeared, Li Yunmu breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he had suddenly become kind-hearted and decided to sacrifice himself for the three of them. His main reason for sending them away was that their presence was holding him back!

It was especially so when he discovered that he couldn't use Ghostly Image Substitution.

At that moment, Li Yunmu had truly panicked. After all, he hadn't expected that there could be a dimensional space in the Origin World which could suppress his life-saving escape technique.

Until then, what had been the technique that Li Yunmu had relied on to escape from danger? It was none other that Ghostly Image Substitution which was a top quality escape technique.

He had eleven shadows in total, so it could also be seen as him possessing eleven lives. With that unique life-saving escape technique in addition to the existence of shadows, Li Yunmu had some confidence in being able to escape even from a sage flux expert.

Yet he had stumbled upon a dimensional space which surprisingly suppressed his life-saving technique which touched upon the void.

What sort of joke was that?

Thus, he quickly had the trio retreat. It allowed him to unleash his full strength against the giant ants.

"Get lost, I will kill all of you."

After he was left by himself, he unleashed something which he hadn't used for a long time, Danger Critical Strike.

This attack could only be used when Li Yunmu was in dire straits.

It absorbed Li Yunmu's vitality, spirit, and energy, including his physical power, flux, dark flux as well as flame thunder energy, and world power.

In short, Danger Critical Strike, just as its name said, poured all of his strength and soul into one attack.

By then, how many times had Li Yunmu's strength increased compared to two years ago?

There was no need to speak of quantity. Just in terms of quality, he possessed flame thunder energy which was almost at divine level.

Because of that, he himself hadn't realized that Danger Critical Strike when used in his current dire straits would erupt with unprecedented amount of terrifying energy!

A faint blade energy which emitted dazzling lights seemed to absorb even the sunlight in a hundred meter radius around him. His surroundings turned completely dark.

There was complete darkness around him, without a hint of light, as if the hundred meter area had been turned into a region where light was forbidden.

Only the blade in Li Yunmu's hand was shining brightly. It was lifted high in the air and was congealing all the power.

"Extinguish!"

Li Yunmu's voice seemed to penetrate many layers of space, sounding ethereal.

Bang.

As the coalesced power fell with Li Yunmu's blade, an extremely compact blade energy went down with it.

The next instant, bright dazzling lights erupted in the forbidden zone as if a star had exploded. Brilliant shine covered the whole one hundred meter radius in all directions.

There was no sound of explosion nor was there any terrifying energy scattering around. Silencer reigned for the next ten seconds. And after them, there was no living organism present in the hundred meters zone around Li Yunmu.

Right then, the system's voice echoed in his ears. [Ding, congratulations host. Your Danger Critical Strike underwent an evolution and was upgraded to Danger Critical Extinguisher.]
