"What's the matter?" Chu Xiu turned his head to glance at him, "Didn't I tell you that when dealing with gambling addicts, you need to strike hard?"

Song Lichuan remained silent, his gaze at Chu Xiu filled with astonishment.

For the first time, he realized how limited his perspective was.

"However..."

Song Lichuan glanced at the three swiftly approaching figures behind them. Although he greatly admired Chu Xiu's daring actions, could they really pass this trial in this manner?

...

What Song Lichuan didn't know was that, as he was feeling anxious, Chu Xiu was rapidly analyzing the strengths of both the enemy and themselves.

From the brief exchange earlier, he had a rough estimate: both the Notary and the Fallen Blood Angels possess the strength of advanced General Tier!

While the Baron's strength has also surged due to the Bet Chain enhancement.

The first two only have high Basic Attributes, but the Baron might possess various strange abilities granted by the Gambling God, making him possibly even more difficult to handle!

"Under the Demon Energy Infusion, I should be able to easily handle any of them individually, but two together will be challenging; facing all three would only allow me to barely protect myself."

Chu Xiu is well aware.

Most importantly, his Demon Energy Infusion won't last long.

This trial's difficulty Level is very high; trying to pass through sheer brute force would be even harder than completing it normally!

This is also why he needed to save Song Lichuan and the other person because Chu Xiu required them as bait to lure the Baron near the Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine.

He didn't believe a gambler would abandon their hard-won spoils of victory.

Only with the help of this Mythical Level Artifact could he be confident about defeating the three of them.

Even if he couldn't win, holding out until the trial ends would be more than sufficient.

At worst, he still had a Resurrected Strange Bird mount capable of high-speed flight, allowing him to leave the battlefield at any moment with ease.

This was the source of his confidence to be so aggressive!

Soon, amid the chasing and fleeing, the massive Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine appeared before them.

Once they entered the domain of the Blood Vine, the damage caused to Chu Xiu's meridians by the Demon Energy Infusion immediately began to heal excessively.

"Once your injuries are healed, come and help."

Chu Xiu said to Song Lichuan and the other person, casually tossing them near the Blood Vine.

The power of the Blood Vine quickly healed their wounds under his will, while Chu Xiu no longer ran away, suddenly turning to face the three powerful General Tier entities!

An intense battle spirit rose in his eyes. Since he perfected the cultivation of his Demon Energy Infusion, no enemy had ever forced him to exert his full strength. Even the Corpse King was swiftly resolved after he discovered its weaknesses.

Now, he finally had the opportunity for a full-fledged battle!

With a piercing and earth-shattering howl, the Vampire Count's Wings behind Chu Xiu abruptly flickered, and he shot out like an arrow off the string. The mana output from the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand instantly exploded to its peak, launching a punch at the Notary charging at the forefront!

Yet, the Baron's Notary was also undaunted, its steel body flickering with a ghostly blue light, accelerating once more and throwing a punch in response!

"Boom!"

Their fists collided in mid-air, unleashing a violent explosion. The Rock Armor covering the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand shattered under the immense force, while the Notary was sent flying backward by the impact!

A solemn expression appeared on Chu Xiu's face; this was the first time his Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand at full output encountered an opponent!

With multiple enhancements, the defense of the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand surpassed two hundred! But at this moment, the Magma Armor on his fist cracked apart, molten blood leaking from between his fingers.

Although the Notary appeared in disarray, it was not fundamentally damaged! After rolling a few times on the ground, it effortlessly dissipated the force and stood up again.

This shocked Chu Xiu.

"No wonder it's the Baron's Notary! It absolutely possesses high-level General Tier strength! Its Constitution is likely close to two thousand!"

Chu Xiu's maximum explosive power with the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand was merely one thousand seven hundred; only with larger mass and volume did he manage to knock the Notary back.

The punch exchange seemed to favor him, but he actually suffered a slight loss!

There was nothing he could do; no matter how strong Chu Xiu was, the two sides were ultimately two major tiers apart!

However, even though his proudest and most powerful attack was suppressed, Chu Xiu's eyes showed no trace of fear.

With a thought, the overwhelming Life Force from the Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine began repairing the injuries on the Celestial Demon Hand, while simultaneously, a green flame suddenly ignited on the distant Notary!

Once the flame sparked, it swiftly spread, wrapping the Notary in the blink of an eye!

After regaining its footing, the Notary only hesitated for a moment before preparing to charge at Chu Xiu again. But now, surrounded by the green flame, the metal components on its body emitted a "kak-kak" sound from the burn, and the Notary itself painfully and repeatedly collided with the ground, attempting to extinguish the flame.

Yet, like a persistent maggot, no matter how the Notary struggled, it couldn't extinguish the flame.

It was the Jade Poison Corpse Fire!

As the only attack Skill of the Innate Divine Demon lineage at the Warrior Tier, when cultivated to Perfection, it possesses extremely astonishing Power. Even without proper countermeasures, a General Tier would suffer significantly upon contact!

Previously, Chu Xiu attached it to his Celestial Demon Hand, and after a hard exchange, it transferred to the Notary!

"The Notary may have high Basic Attributes, but it seems to lack any special abilities."

Still, Chu Xiu didn't relax because although the Jade Poison Corpse Fire was fierce, Energy is ultimately conserved. Without Chu Xiu's continuous replenishment, the flame contaminating the Notary would soon extinguish from energy depletion.
