Chapter 145: Chapter 118 Fog Hider

Reality.

Private estate, room.

The Void flickered, and a figure tumbled onto the ground.

"Ahhh!"

Wu Xiaode curled up into a ball, his head drenched in cold sweat, and he let out agonized roars.

The agony from being hit by the Deep Red Beam surpassed everything.

Even the fear of death was slightly diluted by such intense pain.

Damn it!

This giant is way too arrogant!

Wu Xiaode gasped for air while fiercely vowing in his heart.

—I refuse to believe it!

The more it’s like this, the more I have to extract skills from you!

Otherwise, in a few days, when I’m turned into chewing gum, I won’t even be able to regret it.

Wu Xiaode closed his eyes and took several deep breaths, then shouted aloud:

"Add one for me!"

Whoosh—

He disappeared from the room once again.

Death Demon Cave.

The moment he landed, a tattered Battle Armor draped over him, and a serrated long saber appeared in his hand.

Now Wu Xiaode was a "Blood Butcher"!

The voice of the One-eyed Giant boomed from atop the Corpse Mountain:

"Ah, a bloodthirsty fellow, your love for slaughter reminds me of those bygone years."

"What’s the use of saying that, it’s boring, come on, let’s have a meal together."

Wu Xiaode waved his hand to release the food.

A Deep Red Beam shot towards him.

It all ended.

The third time.

The voice of the One-eyed Giant echoed from afar:

"Ah, a bloodthirsty fellow, your love for slaughter reminds me of those bygone years."

Without a word, Wu Xiaode released all the food.

"I guess you’ve been eating corpses every day, it’s kind of pitiful, come on, let’s eat something good," Wu Xiaode beckoned to the giant.

A Deep Red Beam shot towards him.

"The giant doesn’t need your pity, little trash!" the One-eyed Giant said.

The fourth time.

Wu Xiaode took a deep breath, trying his best to stay calm.

"Come, honorable King of Giants, strong being of legends, this is the feast I offer to you, it’s definitely not out of pity!" he shouted loudly.

"Hypocritical fellow," said the One-eyed Giant.

A Deep Red Beam came flying.

It all ended.

"Ahhh!"

Wu Xiaode let out a ferocious roar.

Even if everything was just an illusion, the burning pain was still unbearable, and he couldn’t help but cry out.

Being killed by the giant over and over didn’t make him give up; on the contrary, it stirred up his ferocity.

"To hell with this, harder to please than a woman!"

"This time, even if it wastes Soul Power, I’m going to fight you!"

After venting his frustration, he gritted his teeth and said, "Add one for me!"

Whoosh—

He reappeared in the Death Demon Cave once more.

"Ah, a bloodthirsty fellow, your love for slaughter reminds me of those bygone years," the One-eyed Giant said, seated atop the Corpse Mountain.

Wu Xiaode dragged the serrated long saber and marched toward the giant.

"You old tortoise, only daring to howl from atop the Corpse Mountain, have the guts to come down and fight me?" Wu Xiaode bellowed.

Almost the instant his words fell, he immediately felt a thick premonition of death.

Here it comes again!

You’re going to kill me again!

No way!

Wu Xiaode mustered all his strength and executed a "Sidestep" with reckless abandon!

It was an extraordinary dodge amidst life and death.

The moment he moved, he even left behind a stream of afterimages.

In an instant.

The Deep Red Beam shot past his original standing position.

"Hm?"

"Hm?"

Both Wu Xiaode and the One-eyed Giant exclaimed in unison.

Neither he nor the One-eyed Giant anticipated that he would actually dodge the strike.

The Book of the Dead quietly floated down, rapidly revealing rows of ice crystal small print:

"You’ve faced this level of attack too many times and have also died too many times."

"Your strength is steadily increasing."

"Your premonition of death has become more accurate."

"You know all the details of this move."

"You have dodged this attack."

Wu Xiaode was stunned.

I...

Have become stronger?

He slowly looked up at the One-eyed Giant.

The One-eyed Giant slowly rose from the Corpse Mountain, and spoke solemnly, "During the age of myths, I once said something."

"If someone could evade my Gaze of Death, I would grant him a reprieve and give him a chance to say his last words."

"Blood Butcher, in the final moments of your life, what would you like to say to me?"

Wu Xiaode was stupefied once again.

So that’s how it is!

This guy only respects the strong!

But the purpose of his coming here was not to say any last will.

"Pah!"

Wu Xiaode mimicked the original Blood Butcher, spat, and said with a grin:

"Who wants to say their last words? You think I’m bound to die?"

"What do you want then? Killing you is as easy for me as crushing an ant," the One-eyed Giant stated matter-of-factly.

"Then let me fight until the very end. Only battle is my life. If you want me to run away, I’d rather fight to the very end—" Wu Xiaode took a deep breath and roared, "The only thing I want to do is to finish you off!"

The One-eyed Giant stared at Wu Xiaode with its fierce giant eye and was silent for a long while.

Wu Xiaode was on high alert.

Are we going to fight?

Will I be instantly killed by All Things in the World next? Or will I witness some new power again?

Wu Xiaode was somewhat uneasy, gripping the serrated long saber tightly in his hand.

Suddenly.

There was a loud "clang" from the Void as five stars burst forth.

The Book of the Dead displayed rows of ice crystal small print:

"You have earned the admiration and praise of the undead."

"This book resonates with all the cheering undead, and with the admiration you received from the Holy Sect, it is merged into an Upgrade Order."

"The overly complex skills from All Living Beings are purged, leaving only the fundamental admiration and praise; these are the purest forms of will."

"With this vow of power, I can help you enhance your precognition of death once."

"Congratulations, as the holder of the Book of the Dead, you represent the rare ability users of the Death Realm. Your precognition of death has risen to a new level."

All the small characters flashed and disappeared.

Wu Xiaode remained calm, clutching the long saber in his hands.

"Come on!" he roared loudly.

A thick shadow suddenly surfaced in his mind. Like the suffocating depths of the sea, inescapable.

Flash.

I have to dodge! I must dodge right now, or I’ll die!

Wu Xiaode’s pupils dilated sharply, his breathing ceased, and his muscles throughout his body were activated by Soul Power, triggering "Side Flash," once again squeezing out potential far beyond the norm.

Woosh—

A series of afterimages were left in his wake.

His entire body sidestepped, opening up just enough space with his shoulder to let the deadly Deep Red Beam pass by.

He dodged it again!

My God, this is the legendary Demon God Skill, and yet it failed to hit its target once more!

Wu Xiaode stood still, gripping the saber in his hands, and shouted fiercely,

"Die!"

Using the Butcher’s Sword Skill, he swung with all his might, sending a continuous surge of bloody light that traversed the long distance, directly striking the One-eyed Giant.

Boom!

The One-eyed Giant sat unmoved, taking the hit head-on.

A layer of rippling red light floated on its body.

Not even a scratch appeared on it.

Wu Xiaode was stunned.

Although he knew that the Butcher stood no chance against it, the fact that he couldn’t even break through its defense still brought on a sense of despair.

Wu Xiaode shook his head, pushing down the feeling of despair, and gripped the long saber once again.

Since he had already mastered the knowledge of the Butcher’s Saber Skill, it was time to merge it into the "Lone Journey Through Wind and Snow" Saber Skill—

Get ready.

The saber flashed, hidden behind Wu Xiaode, roaring with bursts of rumbling.

Soul Power was fully infused—

Go for it.

Even if it could only inflict an additional cut on it, even if it could only draw the first drop of blood.

—That would still be a success!

Killing intent surged in layers around Wu Xiaode.

The One-eyed Giant immediately sensed it.

It stared at Wu Xiaode, its expression growing serious as it sighed,

"Not bad."

"Among all living beings, there are few as daring as you."

"Then go ahead and die!" Wu Xiaode said with a smile.

The saber light flowed like water.

Wu Xiaode, riding on the momentum of the saber’s will, vibrated his form, crossing a great distance and directly swinging the long saber at the One-eyed Giant.

"Back off."

The One-eyed Giant uttered a single word.

An extraordinary, invisible force immediately blasted against Wu Xiaode, sending him flying hundreds of meters and gently landing on the ground.

Wu Xiaode was somewhat surprised.

He had seen both offensive and defensive skills before.

This was the first time he had encountered the One-eyed Giant’s repulsion skill.

Just how many abilities does it have?

No good.

If I can’t break through the defense and repel skills, then I’ll kill it.

Wu Xiaode’s thoughts flew swiftly. He simply put away the long saber in his hand and spoke out, "What exactly do you want?"

The One-eyed Giant paused for a moment before continuing, "Speak your last words. This is something I once promised."

"You still talk about promises?" Wu Xiaode laughed.

The One-eyed Giant bared his teeth, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, saliva continuously dripping down from the corners of his mouth.

"Because you are too delicious. Your soul emits the essence of blood and fire, filled with that iron-rust sensation I can’t wait to devour, which can be recognized as a supreme ingredient."

"Speak your last words. This is the honor you receive, as well as my appetizer step," the One-eyed Giant explained.

Wu Xiaode thought for a moment, then strode toward the One-eyed Giant.

"What are you doing?" asked the One-eyed Giant.

"I’ll tell you when I’m closer," Wu Xiaode replied.

"Do you think getting closer will allow you to defeat me?" the One-eyed Giant sneered.

"If you’re afraid of death or wary of the ingredient, then just pretend I didn’t say anything," Wu Xiaode shrugged.

He quickened his pace and continued walking towards the One-eyed Giant, even tossing aside his weapon halfway.

The weapon was thrown aside!

The One-eyed Giant shut his mouth as his pupils dilated continuously.

Interesting.

This is too interesting!

Such a top-grade ingredient, completely unpredictable, fills one’s heart with curiosity.

What is the ingredient thinking?

The One-eyed Giant was about to use the Mind Reading Technique but then restrained himself.

It wouldn’t do.

Knowing the answer would make it uninteresting.

Some things must be done step by step; otherwise, skipping straight to the last step will lead to a feeling of "is that all?" and blandness.

The One-eyed Giant trembled uncontrollably with excitement.

This is fantastic.

How many years has it been since I’ve felt this way?

I must eat him, chew his body slowly, feel the tenacity and pain in his soul, then swallow it and let his flesh squirm as his spirit slowly fades into despair.

This is the ultimate dining experience!

The One-eyed Giant’s eyes closed and then opened again as he quietly watched Wu Xiaode.

Drip—drip—drip—

Wu Xiaode stepped closer to the One-eyed Giant and then climbed up Corpse Mountain, passing over the giant’s body to reach the top of its head.

From beginning to end, the giant did not make any moves.

"You have now come before me, so now, speak your last words," the One-eyed Giant said, panting heavily, trying to suppress his appetite, expressionlessly.

"Fine, I’ll say them now—"

Wu Xiaode said.

With a thought, he instantly initiated the Mind Reading Technique.

A voice suddenly echoed from the One-eyed Giant:

"What marvelous food—wait! This is Mind Reading Technique!"

The One-eyed Giant shook, a surge of murderous intent erupting from him as he bellowed:

"Wrong! How can you know my technique!"

Almost immediately, Wu Xiaode’s Mind Reading Technique failed.

He had thought to try using the giant’s own techniques against him, but such was the outcome.

It seems this path is impassable!

Wu Xiaode shook his head, calmly saying, "Dispel the mirror image."

Whoosh—

He vanished right before the One-eyed Giant’s eyes.

The next instant, the entire mirror world of Death Demon Cave disappeared cleanly.
