Chapter 621: Chapter 156: How Dare You!
Xu Yan stood in the open expanse of the snowfield.
Where he had originally been standing, there had been a snow mountain, but now… amid the rumbling sound of an avalanche, the snow mountain was gradually leveled to the ground.
It was hard to imagine that the collapse of the mountain was simply due to being hit by Black Fire at the tip of a large umbrella.
How powerful must that be?
The power of that “umbrella” indeed exceeded Xu Yan’s comprehension!
In his understanding, although the abilities of High Order Extraordinary Sealed Objects were strong, they often consud a vast amount of energy… Everything has its price, which was an unavoidable “iron law.”
And this umbrella, how much Source Material must it consu with just one usage?
Why did it look… like it could easily launch a second attack at any mont?
Xu Yan looked towards the nearby ancient ritual suit Goddess, holding the black umbrella. More than her delicate face, he was concerned about the perfect contours vaguely visible under her ritual suit and the “Extraordinary Power” she possessed.
Xu Yan had tried to probe this mysterious second Divination Inheritor with spiritual power, attempting to gauge her capabilities from her aura.
Unfortunately, he failed.
This woman was like a void, an illusory existence.
Xu Yan could not sense even a trace of Extraordinary Aura within her.
As Xu Yan was pondering…
Without any warning,
The black umbrella opened again!
Once more… aid at himself!
When the umbrella opened, within the blizzard, it seed as if black petals of embers danced wildly!
“Boom!”
A column of light burst through the snowstorm, piercing through Xu Yan’s chest, shattering his sternum, and exiting his back; he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes filled with bloodshot as he incredulously lowered his head to view the scene…
How could this be?!
Compared to the previous strike, this attack with the black umbrella seed to “target” him specifically!
The speed was frighteningly fast!
From the opening of the umbrella, to the column of light piercing through him… it seed to take only a millisecond! Maybe even faster!
…
…
“Run!”
The mont the black umbrella opened, also the mont the column of light pierced Xu Yan, Chu Ling did not hesitate at all, grabbing Shen Li and starting to run.
Shen Li was still in a daze.
He had thought that when the other party asked how his body was recovering… it was the signal for a deadly attack that required his assistance!
But he could never have anticipated.
In just an instant, Xu Yan’s body was pierced through!
And the next mont… she was running away with him?
He hadn’t even had the chance to say anything.
A hand suddenly gripped the collar of his clothes from behind… when Shen Li was grabbed, he realized that this hand was not as “gentle” as it appeared.
“Whoosh!”
The two disappeared from the spot.
Only at this mont did Shen Li finally understand the true intention behind Chu Ling’s earlier inquiry about his physical condition.
Due to the incredibly high movent speed, he felt as if his flesh and spirit were on the verge of separation… The fierce wind on the snowfield was like blades, slicing at his body. His skin, which had begun to heal, was now cut open again, creating dozens of tiny, densely packed wounds, from which blood surged like tiny insects.
“Hiss…”
Dense pain surged to his Heavenly Spirit, causing him to involuntarily inhale sharply.
From the beginning, the intent to open the umbrella… was it just to escape?
Shen Li turned his head to look at the blizzard in the distance, in the direction from which they had co. Xu Yan had been pinned into a large snow mountain, triggering a secondary avalanche… It seed, that last shot had nearly killed him!
“We are far from killing him,”
As if she possessed a Mind Reading Technique, Chu Ling spoke up.
“Against other Transcendents of the sa realm, that strike would have been fatal. But he’s different, he possesses the token of the God of Wine.”
Shen Li gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with reluctance.
“Actually… I could have fought; my wounds are not that severe.”
He had never truly witnessed Divine Power.
Naturally, his understanding of “tokens” was also very limited.
After choosing to flee, Shen Li felt that it was sowhat regrettable not to pursue their advantage at that ti.
“No, your injuries are severe,”
Chu Ling glanced back and said seriously: “Although your physical wounds have been repaired, the ntal issues have not been resolved. You were poisoned by the Spiritual Ability ‘Poison Scorpion’ soul toxin. If we don’t find a place to treat it soon… you could die.”
Shen Li’s expression paled.
“Poison Scorpion… is that Xu Yan’s ability?”
No wonder he had been feeling more and more tired since they escaped.
“Yes, to be precise, it’s one of his abilities,” Chu Ling said calmly.
“One of them?”
Shen Li was startled.
In this world, was there really soone who could possess more than one Extraordinary Ability?
“Xu Yan’s ability is ‘Fire Stealer.'”
Chu Ling slowly explained: “Under the cultivation of the Wine God seat and the resources of the Source Tower, over the years, he might have mastered twenty abilities, or even more… wherever he goes, he can utilize these powers, because Xu Yan himself is like a walking Transcendent Genealogy Map.”
“Fire Stealer…”
Shen Li had, of course, heard of this ability!
After the Extraordinary Genealogy Map was created, dividing abilities into three major systems… it was the ergence of Fire Stealers that caused the federation to revise the rough division of abilities and introduced the concept of “Trait System.”
Because Fire Stealers were too special.
Rumors had it that Fire Stealers could steal and replicate the powers of other Transcendents!
Be it Natural, Aggressive, or Spiritual… Fire Stealers could replicate them!
