Chapter 732: Price of Underestimating One’s Opponent



Chapter 732: Price of Underestimating One’s Opponent

Core East was startled. Where is he?

He went on high alert, wary of a sneak attack from Gao Yang with Teleportation.

But Gao Yang was gone, not in front, behind, above him, or on his left or right!

Yan Liang and Nagging Mister were confused as well. Gao Yang had vanished. Did he replicate and use Invisibility?

Nagging Mister immediately closed his eyes and used Mind’s Eye.

A second later, he caught a trace of killing intent. It was underground.

“Under us!” Nagging Mister shouted.

Core East jerked his head down, but it was too late.

A hand shot through the ground without breaking through the earth like a ghost, seizing Core East’s left ankle.

At the last moment of his life, Core East didn’t have the time to feel fear, but only a flash of regret. He didn’t underestimate me. I underestimated him. I’m so weak. Fuck.

Boom!

A torrent of flames shot through the ground, burning Core East.

While Core East’s elemental resistance had doubled from the buff of Specialized Guard, he was as fragile as a handful of dry straws when hit with level 6 Fire imbued by a Willpower over 2000.

“Core East!” Nagging Mister shouted.

Yan Liang didn’t react at all. The bright firelight danced on his mask.

The fire was gone in three seconds. Core East had turned into a charred skeleton with a slightly distorted Black Gold guitar.

Clack. The skeleton fell apart and hit the ground. Core East was dead with no chance of coming back. The resurrection pill wouldn’t work, either.

The hand that shot out of the ground had disappeared.

When Gao Yang sent Qing Ling and a few others to Island Nation to escort Gao Xinxin, he replicated Hong Xiaoxiao’s Gamer and Ke Yo’s Strange as insurance, leaving the last slot empty for flexibility.

After the ambush, Gao Yang first used Gamer to save Nainai and Zhang Wei and inject Herb Snail with Medicine C, replicating Intangibility at the same time.

There was 15 seconds left of the Talent’s use time. Gao Yang had wanted to take out another one of them the same way, but finding out that Nagging Mister had Mind’s Eye, he gave up on the plan decisively. Jumping out of the ground, he teleported to Nagging Mister’s side and stabbed at his throat with a Black Gold dagger.

With Mind’s Eye, Nagging Mister reacted quickly, but his body couldn’t keep up. It was clear that he couldn’t make a move in time.

Just when Gao Yang was going to hit him, Nagging Mister blinked to three meters away.

No! It’s not a teleportation ability. The space itself is distorted.

Yan Liang had used Spatial Magic.

In that instant, he had shortened his distance from Gao Yang by three meters while increasing Nagging Mister’s distance from Gao Yang by three meters.

With the other hand, Yan Liang used Spatial Blender at the same time. Gao Yang teleported away as quickly as he could, but a vortex still carved out a piece of flesh from his left arm, and blood gushed out.

Gao Yang teleported and jumped to take cover behind a broken wall, quickly injecting himself with half a dose of Medicine C.

He threw up blood. There was purple poison mixed into the blood.

It’s Succubus’ Venom!

Not only doesn’t a Medicine C heal now, but it clashes with the poisonous energy and results in a disturbance, doing more damage.

Gao Yang took a deep breath and forced the energy in his body to settle down.

The next second, he felt a pressure coming from above his head.

Rather than looking up, he quickly teleported away.

Bam!

A robot stomped on and cracked the ground, hitting where Gao Yang had been.

Gao Yang frowned.

The main body of the robot was a fist-sized toy, but covered by translucent blue energy, it had turned into a four-meter tall robot.

Gao Yang speculated that it was Small Luo’s Talent, Toys.

Clack, clack.

The robot’s arms transformed into machine guns and locked onto Gao Yang, pelting him with countless oval-shaped blue energy bullets.

Gao Yang jumped from side to side, teleporting every now and then to dodge the attacks while circling the robot.

Yan Liang’s spatial attacks and the robot’s energy bullets came at him doggedly, leaving no gap at all. And Nagging Mister’s Mind’s Eye prevented Gao Yang from hiding and making a sneak attack.

What little energy he had left quickly drained from his body. Although Gao Yang had Fire, he still felt a bone-chilling coldness. The ends of his limbs were getting noticeably stiff.

He could not drag things on further. Gao Yang pulled his trump card now.

—Strange!

He used the Strange Whistle, stopping everyone from moving, including himself.

The whistle ended a second later.

They all recovered and regrouped, but Gao Yang reacted a little quicker and teleported to the robot.

Whistle.

A second later, Gao Yang whistled again.

Everyone stopped moving once more, their thoughts interrupted.

Gao Yang teleported again.

Using the whistle one second at a time could offset the one-second cooldown of Teleportation. And with Gao Yang regaining mobility 0.1 seconds before the others, he could achieve the effect of teleporting almost without cooldown.

In Nagging Mister’s eyes, it seemed like the world was lagging after every second, and like a ghost, Gao Yang skipped his way to another place while he couldn’t do much in reaction.

After three whistles, Gao Yang made it to the robot and threw a powerful Fire Punch, tearing the robot into scattering blue energy shards.

The fist-sized toy robot, the main body, was evaporated into gas by the scorching heat.

Whistle.

The Strange Whistle continued.

Nagging Mister witnessed everything and finally understood how terrifying the young man was.

He’s been hit with Elder Azure Dragon’s Strongest Punch and the freezing poisonous mist, yet he could still put up such a fight.

He had so many Talents, allowing him to make one move after another in unpredictable combinations!

Is this the Divine Scion? No, he’s a monstrosity.

Nagging Mister lost his will to fight. He simply wanted to run.

Whistle.

Wait, what’s Small Luo’s blood type?

The whistle stopped, and finally, Nagging Mister turned around. Run, or I’ll die for sure!

Whistle.

Wait, have I washed my socks yesterday?

The whistle ended.

Mister Luo lifted his right foot. Now run...

A Black Gold dagger pierced through his heart.

Gao Yang appeared behind him. He injected the dagger with Fire to burn through the man’s chest, making sure there was no chance of resurrection.

Boom! Fire shot through Nagging Mister’s chest.

Gao Yang was just going to whistle again when space distorted around him.

It was Spatial Blender!

Whoosh! Gao Yang teleported away, but three bleeding holes were put into his left arm. His arm drooped, now completely useless.

What was worse, two chunks of flesh had been carved out of his left calf, compromising his mobility substantially.

Killed by Gao Yang, Nagging Mister was pelted with Spatial Blender and rendered into a bloody beehive.

Even with Psychic Armor keeping Gao Yang completely coolheaded, he was still a little surprised.

Yan Liang had guessed that Gao Yang would take out Nagging Mister, so he made a move that would kill Nagging Mister. He didn’t care about his companions at all. He didn’t even bat an eye.
