Chapter 257: Chapter 167: Spell Slots of the Spiritual Ability Path, Weapon with Growth Potential!_2

Wu Tao didn’t plan to leave. He had signed a contract with the Ying family, deeply bound.

If he failed to complete the "task" and hinder the successor of the Nanhuang Daoist School from achieving the top hundred rankings in the competition.

Even if he spared his life, he would face severe punishment.

He wielded Thunder Sword, stomped heavily, and quickly rushed out of the rock cave.

At the same time, several arrows formed a triangle shape, blasting towards the flesh giant, attracting its attention.

"The most formidable skill of an archer is not precision, but body technique and concealment."

If the battlefield was confined to the rock cave, Wu Tao would find it hard to unleash his power. If it expanded to the surrounding several miles, he might have a chance to kill the Esotericist.

This also meant earning points!

On the hunting list, each "final BOSS" in each area was worth thousands of points, deciding the rankings!

"Where can you possibly run to in the Great Rift Valley at night!"

The Esotericist’s eyes were cold as he extended his spiritual tendrils, controlling the remaining war dogs to pounce towards the rock cave, then manipulated the flesh giant to chase Wu Tao.

The Great Rift Valley hadn’t welcomed a "guest" for a very long time. As a believer of the Life Sect, whether to enhance his own spell skills or conduct sacrifices, fresh flesh and organs were needed.

"You can’t escape! I have the skill to track flesh, your scent has been captured. Unless you can escape this Great Rift Valley, sooner or later, I’ll corner you to a dead-end!"

The Esotericist waved his large hand, his spirit highly concentrated, transforming into a bright halo, suspended behind his head.

Space fluctuated strangely, like some kind of signal, the cloud-like barrier on either side of the cliff suddenly floated over.

Wu Tao turned back and saw hundreds and thousands of blood-red bats!

They flapped their wings swiftly, like a thick cloud, pressing down towards Wu Tao!

"Damn this Spiritual Ability Path!"

Wu Tao cursed.

This Esotericist should also be in the Holy Embryo stage, mastering several highly skilled spell techniques.

Plus, being of the nauseating flesh and blood system, he was indeed very tricky!

He accelerated his steps, life force surged through his whole body, like a car stepping on the gas pedal, dashing madly, occasionally twisting his body to shoot arrows, clearing out large spaces.

But the blood-red bats swarmed like locusts, even though a part of them got wiped out, they could quickly fill up the gaps again.

They emitted ultrasonic waves that disturbed the spirit, making Wu Tao uncomfortable, his steps somewhat erratic.

His high-speed moving figure gradually slowed and lagged.

"Damn it! I can’t shake off these bats!"

Wu Tao was extremely furious. Adapting and driving the war dogs and summoning the flesh giant already consumed a lot of spiritual energy.

He had received complete extraordinary education and knew that the Spiritual Ability Path didn’t allow spells to be used as one pleased.

The level of the mind and the strength of the spirit determined the number of "spell slots".

"Three spell skills... He probably received divine blessings!"

Wu Tao took a deep breath, realizing he was at a life-and-death juncture.

He gripped Thunder Sword tightly, life force burst forth, transforming into tangible blue flames, adhering to his body surface.

The flames enveloped the exquisite and extraordinary material compound bow, his fingers drew the bowstring, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, arrows shot out, raining down!

The blood-red bats got swept away in waves, bursting into groups of crimson, nearly dyeing the cliff red.

The intense stench caused the beasts hiding in the caves to get restless.

"You’re quite the runner!"

The Esotericist laughed lowly, his speed wasn’t fast, fortunately, he shared the vision with the blood-red bats, thus keeping up with Wu Tao.

Now that most of his "little pets" were wiped out, his originally clear vision was suddenly lost, becoming blind and about to let Wu Tao escape.

"What a pity! I just finished a sacrifice!"

The Esotericist’s eyes glinted, like translucent amber, then, his mind stretched like a drawn slingshot, accumulating some kind of power.

Swoosh, his gaze locked onto Wu Tao, who was about to disappear into the night, chanting:

"Measure the soul with pain! Dismember the remnant body! Sublimate the essence!"

The awkward syllables were rapid, as if the key was inserted into the lock, completing the final step.

His spirit concentrated immensely, transforming into a beam of bright light, shooting out from his forehead!

Faster than a bullet, it instantly hit Wu Tao, his blue flame-wrapped mortal body suddenly stiffened, as if petrified.

His figure maintained the posture of running forward, but his actions ceased, and he fell heavily.

"Flesh Decomposition..."

Wu Tao was filled with fear, feeling the liveliness of his own flesh diminishing significantly, as if it was being decomposed, melted, turning into a puddle of pus.

"How can he have a fourth spell slot!"

The Esotericist raised his hands, calling to the sky, his spiritual light revived again, summoning a flock of blood-red bats.

He was very cautious, directing his pets to capture Wu Tao.

This guy’s life force should be above eighty points, even if hit by the "Decomposition Technique", it wouldn’t be easy to kill him.

"The materials for the next sacrifice are ready again."

The Esotericist was very satisfied. The life-saving "Black Lotus Mechanism" and the fourth "spell slot" were all divine gifts.

If more high life energy level prey came, it might be enough to complete all the components for this set of "mechanical armor".

"Huh?"

The Esotericist was about to return to the rock cave to collect the remaining "materials," as fresh flesh and organs were always in demand for him.

But for some reason, the giant flesh creature created by fusing war dog flesh, consuming most of his spiritual energy, suddenly severed the mental connection with him.

He hurriedly rushed to the location of the flesh giant, only to see its massive corpse split in half, as if a small mountain had collapsed.
