Chapter 454: Chapter 302 Flesh Editing_2

"Arrogant humans, you dare to be distracted while battling me?"

The voice accompanied Chi Su’s towering figure as it closed in, unleashing another powerful, forceful kick!

This time, two rings of light encircled Chi Su’s leg shadow, which flickered like an afterimage.

If this kick landed, even a warrior who had achieved Mortal Transcendence would be seriously injured, if not killed.

Xu Yuan’s mind was still pondering, but his body moved subconsciously.

Still not using the sword, still not casting any spells.

In the silent moment,

He raised his hand,

Swung it out,

And struck right at the Barbarian King’s incoming shin!

Boom!!!

The ground cracked and sank, a wave of shock ripples spreading outwards.

The Barbarian King’s form flew out from the rising smoke, skidding dozens of yards across the ground before he managed to halt his momentum. Fine cracks appeared on the keratin layer of his shin.

Meanwhile, Xu Yuan stood unchanged in the pit created by the energy clash, his eyes calmly assessing his arm that had broken off from the direct confrontation with Chi Su.

His left forearm was now twisted in a grotesque manner, with only the skin and flesh barely holding the severed part together.

The bones within were completely fractured, and the broken white bone could be seen protruding through the skin.

Clearly, even with the Black Death Bacterial Armor of the Blood Rank, Xu Yuan’s physical strength was no match for the Barbarian King, Chi Su.

But that was unimportant. He was not a martial practitioner who tempered the body on the Martial Path; apart from the sword techniques, most of the Blood Essence Meteoring Art was unsuitable for close combat.

Xu Yuan was now more concerned with the fact that his body seemed almost out of control.

Even the intense pain of his shattered forearm almost failed to stimulate his senses.

His perception of his body was gradually distancing itself from his consciousness.

Moreover,

The action of blocking the Barbarian King’s kick with his forearm had not been a conscious decision; his body had moved on its own.

As he pondered,

Xu Yuan’s broken forearm was already realigned by a strange force. He clenched his fist subconsciously and found that his arm had recovered as before.

Chi Su stood up from the ground and, seeing Xu Yuan’s arm restored, exhaled slowly:

"The King was wondering why ’Fist Intent’ could not hinder your wound from healing itself, so it’s like that."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, his crimson pupils glancing at the other:

"Oh? What else have you figured out now?"

The Barbarian King, focusing on the arm that was restored as before, uttered a sentence:

"Forced reconnection. You hadn’t shown this ability before, so it must be the Armor fused inside your body."

"...."

A flicker of interest passed through Xu Yuan’s eyes.

He had only just realized what this self-healing ability was, and yet the Barbarian King had seen right through it.

Should he say that this was indeed the insight of a king of a tribe?

Every punch from Chi Su carried Fist Intent that clung to his wounds like flesh-eating maggots, preventing the life essence of Ghostification from immediately healing his injuries.

In other words, the self-healing of his body was not due to his Ghostified physique but rather the Blood Bacterial Armor fused within him.

When injured, the bacterial Armor inside his body secreted some substance to forcibly bond his wounds together.

It was as though he was molding clay, forcibly merging everything inside him back to its original form.

And at this moment, Xu Yuan felt something else.

If he wished, he could reshape his body into any form at any time.

Like, Luo Xiran, for example...

At this thought, Xu Yuan subconsciously looked at his left arm, and a term suddenly emerged in his mind.

Flesh editing....

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

After the grating noise, Xu Yuan’s just-restored left arm transformed directly into a sharp, cold-gleaming spike.

"......."

Witnessing this scene, Li Qingyan’s anxious eyes revealed a deep concern.

His Ghostification seemed to have deepened...

However, fortunately, the next moment the spike turned back into a human arm, and Xu Yuan’s light-hearted voice echoed in the silent cave:

"Chi Su, you have a good eye. The abilities this Armor grants me are indeed useful. Do you wish to continue the fight?"

Chi Su stared at the every move of the man in bloody clothes, slowly stating:

"From the beginning, the King has already set the terms."

"Heh...."

Xu Yuan chuckled lightly, glancing at Li Qingyan, who was watching him full of worry: "I would not use my Princess as a hostage to you."

"?"

As their gazes met, a flicker of confusion passed through Li Qingyan’s eyes, but soon she comprehended and couldn’t help but let out a soft, amused huff.

She deciphered the meaning behind the Barbarian King’s words, and realized that guy had deliberately spoken for her to hear.

Very deliberate.

But, the feeling isn’t too bad.

Xu Yuan withdrew his gaze, looked at Chi Su, and chuckled softly:

"Chi Su, just now I’ve almost adapted to my current body, just as you said, cooperation should be led by the strong. I can give you another chance, a chance for cooperation, and I hope you’ll cherish it."

Hearing the proposal for cooperation once again, Chi Su’s expression didn’t change in the slightest, but he seemed to realize something and asked:

"You... are running out of time?"

Xu Yuan’s heart tightened, but his face didn’t change, as he responded with a laugh:

"What do you mean by ’running out of time’?"

Chi Su moved slowly to the side, his gaze locked onto the figure in the blood-colored clothes in front, speaking in a low and rough Dayan language as he walked:

"This King admits that you are now a threat to this King, even enough to kill this King."

The events that had just unfolded made Chi Su realize the earth-shattering changes that had happened to Xu Yuan’s body:

"But if you are truly strong enough to kill this King, then dealing with that Mortal Transcendence ghost in the deepest part of the Underground Palace shouldn’t be too difficult for you now. If it’s not because you’re short on time, why insist on cooperating with this King? Wouldn’t it be a better choice to eliminate this King here in this Underground Palace?"

Xu Yuan stood still, laughing lightly and shaking his head:

"Chi Su, mutual destruction does not serve my interests. To kill you, and then face that Mortal Transcendence ghost..."

"No."

Chi Su interrupted Xu Yuan, his voice deep, cold, and profound:

"Xu Yuan, this King does not disdain lies, but desperate lying makes you look pathetic."

"This King has been in this cavern for a decade, and I’ve seen the characteristics of your body; you can control everything in this cavern just like that Mortal Transcendence ghost.

"As long as you can kill this King, with your current ghostly body there won’t be mutual destruction."

Having said this,

Chi Su stopped walking and raised his hand to point at Xu Yuan’s crimson eyes:

"If this King’s guess is not wrong, the human consciousness within you is about to become unsustainable."

"......" Xu Yuan.

"The reason you still wish to cooperate with this King is likely because you want something deep within the Underground Palace that will allow you to cling to survival, right?"

"....." Xu Yuan.

After the Barbarian King’s deep voice faded, only the whistling wind within the cavern remained.

After a while,

Xu Yuan smiled, raised his head to look at the top of the cavern, and took a deep breath.

"Clap... clap... clap..."

The sound of gentle clapping echoed, and Xu Yuan lowered his eyes to look at the Barbarian King’s azure blue pupils, saying with a smile:

"Barbarian King, you truly are difficult to deal with, and you’re right, I don’t have much time left."

On hearing this, Chi Su’s deep voice rose slightly:

"This King thought you would deny it."

"Deny it in front of someone like you who makes a judgment and sticks to it without doubt?"

Xu Yuan shook his head, spreading his hands: "Such a pointless act is not something I would do."

As he spoke,

Xu Yuan stared at him, articulating every word:

"So, tell me, what is your answer?"

Chi Su’s gaze was unyielding, and he uttered two words flatly:

"Same conditions."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyan lowered her eyes, exhaling a breath:

"Xu Yuan..."

Xu Yuan glanced at her coldly:

"If you’re trying to play some tragic drama, shut your mouth for me."

"....."

Li Qingyan rolled her eyes at him and sighed: "What are you being fierce for? Just don’t talk then, just take care of yourself and don’t die."

Having said that,

Li Qingyan’s actions were still as crisp and decisive, her figure flashed, taking Xiao Bai, who was shrinking in the corner, by the nape of the neck and disappearing at the tunnel exit...

With the two women’s departure, only two figures remained in the tunnel blown open by the Source Crystal Bomb, one blood and one blue, standing in opposition from afar.

Xu Yuan looked at the formerly invincible, burly figure, the murderous intent surging in his crimson eyes:

"Your choice is truly too foolish for words."

"Heh... this King rather appreciates your choice,"

Chi Su’s rough lips curled up into a smirk:

"Besides, you don’t think you can definitely defeat this King, do you?"

"..."

There was no sound in the cavern as the words ended.

In an instant, both moved.
