A lazer like a curved sword tore open the wall and headed for Xiao Tan. The latter’s eyes shone coldly as he made a swift reaction. He kicked lightly before him with his left leg and used the momentum to push his body into an impossible twirl to avoid this ambush.
“Careful! There are more!” As he avoided, Xiao Tan called out in warning.
As he said, just as Xiao Tan finished, the endless lazers flew out from the walls beside them, they weaved into a net of swords and rushed at the players.
“Hmph… great timing.” Feng Bujue scoffed and uttered calmly, “I shall use ‘that’… at a moment like this.” As he said, Death Poker already appeared between his fingers. “Haunting Soul!” With a cry, a rain of light fell. More than 10 cards flew out at the same moment, they were fast, quick and accurately aimed at the lazer sowrds.
Instantly, explosions occurred in the corridor. The powerful light energy collided with each other and buzzed continuously. 5 seconds later, all the noise stopped. In the cluttered corridor, none of the six players were injured, the only thing that remained was the afterimage of the heavy collision of the powerful lights.
!!
“Wow… impressive…” Greedy Wolf relaxed and could not help but praise, this was not flattery, he sincerely thought that of Brother Jue.
“Hmm… should be very impressive.” Tired Dreams added. He was already covered in cold sweat… the more powerful the player, the more they could discern how impossible the thing Feng Bujue had done.
“Hah… that was just a small trick.” Feng Bujue’s lips curled into a smile. “I just wanted to try a new skill due to the perfect timing.”
Indeed, Feng Bujue had just used the fifth effect of Death Poker that he had just mastered.
“Special Effect 5: Haunting Souls (randomly exhaust 30 cards and instantly release 1-100 single poker cards that is equal to the power of the card ‘7’ each).” This special effect had a good reward in respect to its exhaustion, so… it had its limitation in its cooldown time. There were only 54 cards in a deck of Death Poker, and one Haunting Souls used up 30 cards. In other words, when the deck was full, the skill could not be used twice. According to the first special effect, Limitless, which generated one card each 5 minutes, after using the first Haunting Souls, the player had to wait at least half an hour before he could use it the second time. And after using it the second time, if they wanted to use it the third time, they had to wait at least another 150 minutes. These were based on the fact the player did not use other special effect, for example, if Feng Bujue threw out some cards during this time, the cooldown of the skill would draw out even longer.
Other than that, in terms of practicality, this skill was hard to use. In this range of ‘1-100’, the player could choose any number to use. Even though Death Poker had the special effect of Soul-Seeking, but the concept of ‘the Death Poker’s target ultimately would be the owner’s main attack target’ meant that the players still had to control the cards with their intention. How could target could a person focus on within a second? 1? Sure. Two? Possibly; then what about 3, 5 or even 10?
A normal people obviously could not go more than 2 digits, it would be hard for people used to multi-tasking but Feng Bujue… was the exception. The current Feng Bujue had superhuman observation skill and thinking speed in Thriller Paradise. As mentioned before, he could survey his environment and categorize the object around him in record speed… furthermore, he had the skill of ‘zero time simulation’ to help him cheat.
He could aim at 300 targets much less 100 simultaneously within 1 to 2 second. Of course… he did not have a weapon that could take down so many targets at one time, even if he did, he wouldn’t have enough limbs to control it. But the special effect of Haunting soul made that a possible. This special effect that could make him control the weapon with his mind made Brother Jue into an Ai… no, a monster scarier than Ai. If he was willing, he could attack 100 different enemies at different location with different speed in the flick of a finger. And he could maintain a 95 percent accuracy. Ignoring the damage, the only person who could do that in Thriller Paradise, currently there was only Feng Bujue.
“it’s not yet over.” Just as the group thought the attack was done, Xiao Tan warned earlier. Since earlier, his expression had not changed, he was under quick alert.
Just as Xiao Tan said that, several giant large claws poked out from the gouged walls and started to tear the walls down.
“These does not appear to belong to the Anomaly, right?” Greedy Wolf observed.
“These should be creatures that originally exist in the scenario.” Soulie added, “They have been brought under control by that Anomaly most likely…”
“Strange… He does not appear like the kind of people who would control other creatures to help him in battle.” Feng Bujue’s eyes darkened. “Unless…”
Hong—
Just as a not so good speculation entered Brother Jue’s mind, the ground behind him split open. In that split second, a muscular body burst out from the ground. V1- War God ambushed him from behind and wrapped Brother Jue in a tight hug. He apprehended Brother Jue and continued to move upwards, burst through the ceiling and left this floor.
Hong, hong, hong…
Then, the sound of wall breaking came from the hole that they broke through.
“So he has placed his target on Feng Bujue since the start…” Ruoyu mumbled as she readied to chase after them. But…
With a howl, a giant shadow followed. The next second, a large beast that looked like a half dog poked out from the hole in the ceiling. It was humongous. Its whole body was black and the mouth was split open. The jaws protruded out from its mouth and face. They gave the beast the appearance of a mace, incredibly scary.
“Qie… so this is his plan.” Seeing this, Ruoyu already caught up to V1- War God’s plan.
“Don’t worry.” Xiao Tan said that, “it might not be a bad thing that the Anomaly wanted to fight Brother Jue one on one…” He paused as he scanned around him. “We better deal with… all of these first.”
Kuang Kuang Kuang…
At the same second, with the sound of metal crashing, the walls around them finally fell.
Four humanoid creatures with large claws successfully infiltrated into the corridor and their target… was naturally the five players.
