After Bai Pu fused the genetic fragments of the Blood Ring Heavy Swordsmen, his Two-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization has now reached Advanced Level 7 (Level 4 + Level 6), and considering the 1 level of Limit Breaker, it has reached Advanced Level 8!
What does this concept mean?
Looking over the entire world of [Flesh and Blood Plague: Mutation], Advanced Level 8 Two-Handed Swordsmanship is also a pinnacle existence!
Although Bai Pu is now wielding a long saber with one hand, his Combat Specialization is a combination of his one-handed and two-handed swordsmanship values, which slightly reduces his level, affecting only a decrease in direct damage (a slight adaptation issue in power execution causes a decrease in power technique), but the vision and timing brought by Advanced Level 8 Two-Handed Swordsmanship remain undiminished!
If it were under normal circumstances, the Blood Mist Butcher could still make up for the lack of technique with the oppression brought by 43 Agility Points. But now, under the influence of the Inert Potion, his attack and movement speeds are greatly reduced, making it impossible to deflect or dodge Bai Pu's sword strikes from a technical standpoint!
Bai Pu fully utilized the effect of Scorpion-tailed Lion Poison, striking and retreating swiftly without engaging in a hard confrontation with the Blood Mist Butcher. He only left shallow wounds, breaking the skin and entering the flesh, on the surface of the Blood Mist Butcher's deathly pale skin!
The fully stacked poison results in 9 points of damage per second, ignoring resistance.
That's 540 points of damage per minute!
Even if the Blood Mist Butcher's Life Value recovery speed is fast, it definitely can't keep up with the speed of Life Value loss!
The Scorpion-tailed Lion's Sting is indeed very strong. Of course, for this accessory to continuously function, Bai Pu needs to withstand the Blood Mist Butcher's violent attacks while constantly maintaining the poison layers!
With a thunderous crash, the Blood Mist Butcher swung his serrated greatsword horizontally with both hands, targeting the gap right after Bai Pu made his strike! With blood-colored energy infusion, the serrated greatsword vibrated at high speed.
[Blood Mist Butcher's skill: Cutting has been activated.]
Bai Pu could only raise the Spider Demon Tower Shield with his left hand and block once more.
Screech—
The grating sound, accompanied by the scattering of bone fragments, consumed 10 points of the Spider Demon Tower Shield's Durability in a single blow! And this was even after Bai Pu used the Shield Mastery's Skew technique to dissipate the force!
It's not that the Gold Level shield is too weak, but the 90 Power is too terrifying. If it were an ordinary Enhanced Elite Level 3 Tank, for sure, the shield would break and they would be sent flying!
With a thunderous crash, Mad Rhino Luz stomped hard with his right foot, spreading a powerful blood-colored airwave! The Blood Mist Butcher, impacted by this blood-colored Qi Force, slowed down noticeably again.
This is Mad Rhino Luz's area control skill: Ring of Shock!
Unfortunately, the priority of Luz's move is not high, and most of the slowing effect was resisted by the Blood Mist Butcher, otherwise, the full slow of up to (30) points would be enough to make the already Inert Potion affected Blood Mist Butcher's movements as slow as a turtle.
Of course, it's already enough now. Bai Pu's own Combat Specialization is high, and with the Blood Mist Butcher being doubly slowed, he can now primarily dodge attacks, relying on the Spider Demon Tower Shield only if absolutely necessary.
The Blood Mist Butcher's Life Value continues to drain over time, and he still can't manage to inflict effective damage on Bai Pu!
It's like a powerful bull, charging with full force every time, but being nimbly dodged by the seemingly weak bullfighter, experiencing a kind of constrained frustration of throwing punches without landing a hit.
Suddenly, the Blood Mist Butcher stopped dodging attacks, roared as he raised his arms high! Blood-colored light circulated over his body surface, gathering from bottom to top like liquid onto the serrated greatsword.
Even a fool could see the Blood Mist Butcher was powering up.
Bai Pu threw the shield from his left hand, using the Helical Throw skill!
The Spider Demon Tower Shield, wrapped in Blood Fighting Qi, slammed into the Blood Mist Butcher's neck but was forcibly blocked by the blood-colored light flowing over his body!
Although this strike caused considerable damage, the Blood Mist Butcher's power-up was not interrupted in the slightest.
This is due to the priority being far lower than the opponent's, rendering the interrupt effect almost zero.
"Retreat!"
Bai Pu ordered, simultaneously executing Wind-Stepping Slash, dashing rapidly to the side.
Crash!
The Blood Mist Butcher's serrated greatsword crashed down.
At the moment of impact, the air seemed to solidify, Bai Pu's Wind-Stepping Slash was forcibly canceled, and just as he lifted his toe, he was brought back down. The shock Qi Force penetrated his entire body, leaving him briefly immobilized.
The blood-colored energy wave from the serrated greatsword ferociously injected into the ground surrounding the Blood Mist Butcher. With a deafening roar, he suddenly lifted the serrated greatsword embedded in the ground.
Rumble!
It was as if a multitude of explosives were detonated; the ground exploded, sending Bai Pu and Luz flying high and simultaneously enduring a large amount of damage!
This is the Blood Mist Butcher's skill: Earth Shattering!
Luckily, while performing this skill, the Blood Mist Butcher was also in a prolonged immobile state, unable to move or attack! Otherwise, he could have slashed Bai Pu twice, causing severe injury or death.
Having fallen awkwardly to the ground, Bai Pu felt sore and a bloody foam dribbled from the corner of his mouth. This hit reduced his Life Value by 220 points!
This was even after he preemptively switched to Adaptive Evolution: Fluid Skeleton, mitigating half of the blunt damage.
Mad Rhino Luz couldn't endure it, being hit by this high-damage wide-area skill, ricocheting like a small stone, lying on the ground completely losing combat ability.
When Bai Pu controlled Mad Rhino Luz, he was already in a severely injured state with low health. Bai Pu applied the Evergreen Ointment once to remove the severe injury state and then used an Alchemy Potion to gradually restore his Life Value.
Drinking Alchemy Potions accumulates "medication resistance." The first bottle has the best recovery effect, and the effect of the second bottle might only be sixty to seventy percent. It takes several hours of rest to reset medication resistance.
So Mad Rhino Luz's Life Value did not fully recover, it only restored to about half, which is around eight hundred points.
The Blood Mist Butcher's recent skill, Earth Shattering, directly drained over five hundred Life Value points from Mad Rhino Luz! Such a high single damage (exceeding 1/3 of his Life Value cap) again put him in a severely injured state.
Bai Pu could only order Mad Rhino Luz to retreat from combat.
He feared the Blood Mist Butcher's other terrifying high-sustainability skill: Slaughterhouse. If Mad Rhino Luz died within the range of the Slaughterhouse, the Blood Mist Butcher would quickly recover 150 Life Value points, which Bai Pu could not accept.
For the same reason, Bai Pu did not dare to activate the Demon Ghost Equipment: the secondary skill "Spider Demon Summoning" of the Spider Demon Tower Shield. If the summoned Spider Demon group were wiped out by an AOE, it would be equivalent to providing the Blood Mist Butcher with a large medkit!
Luz's withdrawal decreased Bai Pu's chances of victory by at least twenty percent! Dealing damage might be secondary, but the slowing effect of Luz's Ring of Shock stacking was the real key!
Now, the Blood Mist Butcher is only slowed by the Inert Potion, his speed slightly improved from before.
Bai Pu had no choice but to reveal the next card.
The surface of the Golden Ox Horn Armor burned inch by inch with Flesh and Blood Spell—Flesh Armor activated!
What Bai Pu sought was not the Dark Attribute Magic Damage of the Flesh Armor, but the forced adsorption effect of the Gravity Ball!
This adsorption effect would be significantly weakened by the strong priority template of the Blood Mist Butcher, but the remaining effect still equates to a speed impact as if it were 15 Agility Points.
Unfortunately, the Gravity Ball's adsorption effect doesn't translate to slowing down, rather, it continuously draws surrounding enemies towards Bai Pu! So when the Blood Mist Butcher sprints towards Bai Pu, he instead gains a speed boost equivalent to 15 points, as if skating!
But this speed boost might not be favorable to the Blood Mist Butcher.
Compared to fighting on flat ground, battling while skating underfoot is undoubtedly uncomfortable. An initially instinct-driven sword strike aimed accurately at Bai Pu's neck, but due to the adsorption effect, its landing point skewed to Bai Pu's back!
To maximize the Gravity Ball's effect, Bai Pu circled around the Blood Mist Butcher, constantly shifting positions, sometimes to the left, other times to the right!
The constantly changing adsorption power, like invisible hands continuously tugging at the Blood Mist Butcher, wasn't strong but incredibly vexing.
As time ticked by, the Blood Mist Butcher's Life Value had already dropped by more than half.
He suddenly opened his mouth, letting out a roar. Rings of transparent sonic waves spread out, blasting away the sand and dust around, and even workshop pipes exploded one after another!
[Ear-piercing Roar]!
