Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

Wu Xiaode sidestepped to dodge.

The sharp bone spike grazed past his body, thrusting into the Void.

Dodged!

At the same time, the Dark Demon Fist struck the skeleton fiercely.

Dragon Snake Chaos Dance·Dragon Slash!

Thunder Radiance exploded like a blade, blasting half of the skeleton into flying sparks, which extinguished and turned into ashes in the wind.

Wu Xiaode was about to rush forward when he saw a red glow flashing in the eye sockets of the skeleton.

Is it about to attack?

What kind of Magic will it be?

His figure flickered, landing with a slide tackle, rolling into the wheat waves as his speed tripled.

Meanwhile, the Dark Demon Hand directly blocked in front of the skeleton.

The scarlet color in the skeleton's eye sockets suddenly surged, instantly transforming into countless long lines sweeping through the wheat waves.

Everything touched by the sweeping scarlet lines was reduced to nothingness.

The scarlet glow extinguished from the skeleton's eye sockets.

"Interesting... Is this your combat strategy?"

The skeleton asked.

It casually twisted its body.

The sand and stones underground flew up, gathering into a skeletal shape and adhering to the blasted half-converted by 'Dragon Slash'.

Its body became whole again.

The wind blew through the wheat waves.

After a few moments, Wu Xiaode walked out from among the wheat ears, assuming a fist stance again, and said:

"My combat strategy? What's that?"

The skeleton said: "You cannot withstand my attacks, so your true body is tasked with evasion, while your Magic Hand is responsible for the attack."

Wu Xiaode's heart sank.

The opponent had seen through his strategy with just one glance. How should he fight next?

"Heaven's Will."

He silently chanted in his heart.

The Dark Giant Hand and his body simultaneously enveloped with a layer of Thunder Light.

A line of battle instructions appeared:

"Your Spirit Root is confirmed as Thunder (tribulation attribute), granting all your moves the power of the Three Disasters and Six Calamities, along with the pain of the tribulations you've suffered."

The prompt rune manifested and Wu Xiaode waved casually——

Rumble!

Countless golden sands scattered all over the ground.

The Evil Spirit Book revealed a new prompt rune:

"You have activated 'Fair Judgement'."

"This Holy Skill's effect is maximized under the Gold's blessing, with the following determinations:"

"Your healing effects are increased by 100%, while the damage taken by the opposing enemy is increased by 100%."

"——The Holy Witness."

In the wheat field.

A strange monster with continuously writhing bones stood opposite to a boy engulfed in Thunder Radiance.

"Stacking skills? That's foolish, do you really think this can defeat me?"

The skeleton said slowly.

The Evil Spirit Book flipped again, revealing the page of the Shadow Demon King.

Card: All humans triggered!

——Every human skill can be borrowed by Wu Xiaode!

He stood in place, crossed his hands, and shouted:

"Thunder Light Wave!"

A mass of Thunder Light flew from his hands, sweeping across the sky, heading straight for the skeleton.

The skeleton extended its bone claw to grab the Thunder Light, gently squeezing.

Bzzzt——

The Thunder Light was directly crushed and dispersed.

"I'm no longer interested in you, I'll kill you first, then find a new toy."

With those words, the skeleton vanished from its original spot.

So fast!

The opponent's speed surpassed his reaction; he couldn't determine the opponent's position at all.

How to guard against this?

This is simply unguardable!

——The opponent had already seen through his combat strategy, abandoning the attacking Demon Hand to directly target and kill the true body!

In a life-or-death moment——

Wu Xiaode suddenly dispersed his fist, forming his five fingers into a knife shape, slashing with all his might in front of him.

The Void in front of him burst forth with a Dark Demon Hand, also forming its fingers into a knife shape, colliding with his hand blade.

——Hand blade against hand blade.

Dragon Snake Chaos Dance·Snake Block VS Dragon Snake Chaos Dance·Snake Block!

Boom!

The dual style of Snake Block, summoning a giant tribulation thunder descending from the sky, struck Wu Xiaode, exploding outward.

In that instant, the skeleton appeared beside him, about to strike, but was caught in the thunder blast, letting out a high-pitched scream.

This Thunder Light contained the pain Wu Xiaode had suffered, which it already experienced!

Thud.

Taking advantage of this, Wu Xiaode punched it, sending it flying away.

This punch was delivered with full strength, directly shattering the newly assembled body of the skeleton into flying fragments.

Tai Chu!

Whenever this punch is delivered, it strikes a vital point!

The skeleton rolled and rolled, retreating dozens of meters before barely stopping.

Its lower half was already gone.

But in the next moment.

The skeleton stretched out its hand, summoning all the scattering bone fragments back, reassembling them onto its body.

Though it appeared less complete than before, it stood up again.

"I take back my words."

The skeleton leisurely looked at Wu Xiaode, watching him wield Holy Light to heal his injuries.

Double damage, double healing.

At critical moments, able to intuitively calculate the timing of the opponent's attack, using a broad sweep of thunder to strike both himself and the enemy together.

The final punch was the killing blow.

This punch...

Was quite extraordinary.

The skeleton extended its hand, performing a strange gesture, and slowly said:

"The experience you brought to me is unparalleled, making me a bit excited."

"Actually, I was just playing around at first, but once I prepare to dig into brains, almost no one can escape."

"After all, you are too weak."

"But you actually survived; your fighting ability indeed made me play for longer."

As it finished speaking, veins, muscles, and skin gradually appeared on its hand.

In the next moment.

The skeleton transformed into a living person.

This is the human form it took under the influence of "Love, Dream Creek, World Peace."

-- A tall man, pale as a ghost, with gaunt and angular bones.

It mimicked Wu Xiaode's pose, assuming a fist stance, and continued:

"In respect to your performance, I decided to use the human form you're accustomed to and all your moves to kill you."

Wu Xiaode was slightly stunned and asked, "Did you learn those moves just now?"

"As long as I see it once, I can learn them all," the tall man said.

"You're lying. I don't believe you can learn the Double Snake Block from just now," Wu Xiaode said.

The tall man snorted and chopped towards the Void, fingers turned into a hand.

Sure enough, a skeletal hand appeared in the Void, slashing together with his hand chop.

Thunder Light flashes!

Tribulation Thunder descended from the sky, striking his body.

He showed no reaction, just looked at Wu Xiaode and said:

"The pain brought by thunder is just so; once I endure it, it becomes completely tamed."

Wu Xiaode kept watching the gigantic skeletal hand.

Not the same.

Still not the same.

It's a bone claw, while his Demon Hand is formed from endless malicious demonization.

His moves are personalized and, on the endless malicious demon wall, enhanced by the dual emergence of "anger" and "malice," reaching the bizarre stage.

Though the opponent is extremely sinister, he is ultimately not him, nor does he resonate with the Eternal Abyss of the Netherworld!

The tall man also discovered it.

"Hmm? Strange, why is it somewhat different?"

He didn't care at all, saying softly:

"Well, in the next move, I'll kill you. I'll state this now, you should not have any hopeful thoughts, because when I am serious, killing you is as simple as you breathing."

Wu Xiaode showed a serious look on his face and replied solemnly: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," the tall man said.

Before his words fell, Wu Xiaode had already reached out and patted his waist.

Swish—

He transformed into a rapidly flying shadow, swiftly sweeping through the wheat field, disappearing at the end of the waves of wheat.

The tall man's facial features twisted into a mess, his eyes gleamed with an evil light, and he murmured:

"How did he reach such speed... but never mind."

Boom!!!

He stomped on the ground with one foot, reaching the extreme speed, his whole figure turned into a blurry line, soaring into the air.

In the blink of an eye.

He had already flown over countless repeating wheat fields, looking down.

Below, only a multi-colored fish was sprinting with all its might.

A golden rope was tied around the fish's waist.

Wu Xiaode pulled the rope, just jumping onto the fish's back.

The tall man showed an expression of realization.

"Ah, I remember, during the battle before, he once hid among the waves of wheat."

"When he came out to fight me, that fish had already been released, running away with the rope."

"So he thought he could shake me off."

While the tall man was contemplating, he saw Wu Xiaode raising his head, meeting his gaze.

The attractive-looking fish gradually stopped.

Wu Xiaode put the fish away and stood still, even waving towards the sky.

The tall man slowly descended, standing opposite him.

"Your steed is too slow—if its speed could be ten times faster, there might be a slight hope."

The tall man commented.

"Having witnessed your speed in battle, I think the same," Wu Xiaode agreed.

"So, will you die?" The tall man suggested.

"No," Wu Xiaode shook his head, "You may have forgotten one thing."

"What?"

"Our agreement that if I can survive for 5 minutes, we play that 'whoever turns back loses' game."

The tall man started trembling all over, whispering: "Sorry... I can no longer resist the joy of killing you, this joy is irreplaceable by any game."

"So you abandon our agreement?" Wu Xiaode asked.

The tall man suddenly laughed wildly:

"Hahaha, die! Quickly die ah ah ah!"

He directly disappeared from the spot.

Yet in the next moment.

When he appeared in front of Wu Xiaode—

Wu Xiaode also disappeared.

The whole world swayed away, and a dark and gloomy sky replaced the azure sky.

The land was barren and desolate.

No sign of people.

In the Void, lines of small bronze text had already emerged:

"At the start of the battle, when you asked whether to play the 5-minute game, you already activated the Nightmare Demon Palace Master's skill: Nightmare Heart."

"The opponent breached the agreement, equivalent to not withstanding the test, failed the heart inquiry."

"The opponent must endure one of your strikes."

"You activated the Evil Spirit Evil Skill: Fetus Concealed Confusion."

All the small text flashed away.

"Huh? World replacement? Is this some kind of World Skill?"

The tall man restrained his madness, his eyes blood-red, looking around.

But there was nothing around.

Just as he was feeling disappointed, a faint musical sound arose from the depths of the dark plains.

The tall man looked towards the direction of the sound.

He saw someone playing a suona, with people behind him beating gongs and drums.

Everyone was in a joyful mood.

In the midst of the procession, eight bearers dressed in red carried a blood-red sedan chair, slowly moving towards his direction.
