Chapter 1275: Purple Flame
November 29, 2017
[Despair Companion, Fear Enshrouding]
These were the two awakened talents of the monster, one of which was derived from the despair and fear of the hundred thousand laborers. It was a passive trait, and a terrifying one at that!
This trait could be triggered in two ways. One was by roaring, as Qin Mu had done earlier, which would immediately activate the trait. Lu Hai Kong had nearly died in such a situation.
The other method was to get close to the monster.
Merely approaching the monster, whether to fight or just stand nearby, would be affected by [Despair Companion, Fear Enshrouding]. However, this effect was more subtle.
Lu Hai Kong had already been influenced by [Despair Companion, Fear Enshrouding] with each strike he landed on the monster, but he didn't realize it at first. By the time he noticed, it was too late.
In the instant the trait erupted, Lu Hai Kong felt his heart clench, and his body froze. Even if his essence energy surged wildly, it was of no use; he couldn't move a muscle!
Seizing the opportunity, the monster leaped and punched towards Lu Hai Kong.
Qin Mu's punch, filled with humiliation and anger, was undoubtedly his full strength. If this punch landed, even a steel-bodied Lu Hai Kong would undoubtedly perish.
However, as Qin Mu threw the punch, the purple grain in his dantian trembled violently and then surged uncontrollably, rushing towards the sea of consciousness, disregarding all consequences. Even Qin Mu's body stiffened to varying degrees at this moment.
It felt as if Qin Mu's body was resisting the urge to kill Lu Hai Kong.
Nonetheless, it was all in vain. Qin Mu was now the master of this body, and its instinctive resistance could only cause minor inconveniences, unable to stop him from delivering the punch!
"Boom!"
Qin Mu's punch ultimately landed on Lu Hai Kong. At that moment, the purple grain in Qin Mu's body completely rioted, instantly rushing into the monster's sea of consciousness.
"What is this?"
Qin Mu's expression changed as he uttered those words, referring not only to the purple grain that had rushed into his sea of consciousness in an instant but also to the puppet that appeared before him.
As his punch struck Lu Hai Kong, the latter instantly vanished, replaced by a small puppet. It was clear that Qin Mu's carefully calculated punch had missed its target.
Not only had Lu Hai Kong survived, but an unexpected addition had appeared in his sea of consciousness, which was already terrible news for Qin Mu. However, the situation was about to get worse!
Just as Qin Mu's attack failed, and he was about to turn to deal with the purple grain in his sea of consciousness, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, who had been absent for over ten minutes after acting together with Lu Hai Kong, arrived to strike.
[Demon Weapon Soul Annihilation]
[Halberd Annihilates Ghost and Gods]
Dong Zhuo's demon weapon and Lu Bu's halberd were now enveloped in a terrifying black aura, indicating that they had been biding their time to unleash their ultimate moves.
The timing of their attack was impeccable. With Qin Mu's focus on Lu Hai Kong and the purple grain in his sea of consciousness, he didn't notice them until it was too late. By the time he reacted, the demon weapon and halberd had already descended upon his head.
Fortunately, even though Qin Mu didn't react in time, his body's instincts kicked in.
Just as Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu launched their attacks, the monster's body sprouted blood-red bone spikes, effortlessly blocking the two assaults. This was none other than the monster's other innate talent, the [Blood Bone Demon Body], which could withstand all attacks below a Strength of 120!
This talent was like a cheat, rendering Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's attacks far less effective than expected, especially for Lu Bu. His strike could barely reach a Strength of 120, and it merely bounced off the monster's forehead.
Dong Zhuo's attack was slightly more powerful, and with the sharpness of his demon blade, he managed to sever the bone spike and cut into the monster's head, but that was the extent of it.
The monster now stood over five meters tall, and its head alone was nearly a meter in size, mostly composed of incredibly hard, blood-red bones. It was as if the monster wore a helmet, but one with an extremely formidable defense.
Against such an opponent, it was nearly impossible for Dong Zhuo to decapitate it.
Fortunately, neither Dong Zhuo nor Lu Bu had the intention of smashing the monster's head.
As seasoned martial artists with formidable strength, they were well aware of the low success rate of such an attempt. Their true objective had already been achieved!
As Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's attacks landed, the terrifying aura surrounding their weapons penetrated the hard blood-bone and struck the monster's sea of consciousness!
Please... Your... Collection_6_9_Book_Bar (Six//Nine//Book//Bar)
To be precise, these two attacks had landed on Qin Mu's body.
The well-timed strikes successfully disrupted Qin Mu's impending assault on the purple particle, not only reducing his ethereal form by a quarter but also causing the monster's entire sea of consciousness to become turbulent.
Seizing this opportunity, the purple particle began its counterattack.
Despite its minuscule size, the purple particle contained an astonishing power, which erupted in that instant.
In the blink of an eye, the original purple particle transformed into a purple flame, which began to spread within the sea of consciousness.
Strangely, after the purple flame appeared, it caused the black flames already burning in the sea of consciousness to reignite, as if the black flames were the perfect fuel for the purple ones.
With the black flames as fuel, the purple flames spread at an alarming rate.
In just a few minutes, the once-black sea of consciousness turned entirely purple.
On the other side, Qin Mu, barely recovering from the severe injuries inflicted by Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, realized he was completely engulfed in purple flames, and even he was about to be consumed by them.
Upon this realization, Qin Mu's face paled in shock.
"Damn it, what the hell is this thing!"
