Chapter 756: Truth Skill!
Those surrounding Evil Demons glanced a few times, and immediately withdrew their interest.
The battle in mid-air had lost its meaning.
Because this game was about playing as "all beings," to try every means to escape from the hands of Evil Demons.
Yet that S-level entity that incarnated as a little boy——
He used his identity and power to threaten the pursuers!
Although he didn't actively unleash evil magic, the tide of battle reversed because he himself was an Evil Demon.
This violated the principles of the game.
It was no longer interesting.
In the field, the strong man's handprints were formed.
"Sir, I'm going to fight that Birdman!"
A world suddenly appeared, directly enveloping the strong man and the Birdman.
Leaving only Wu Xiaode.
And the Fishman.
"Did you threaten it? I felt it, it must be so."
The Fishman tilted its head and asked.
"Are you still playing? Next, I'll only use the moves of all beings." Wu Xiaode said.
He seemed particularly sincere——
As if he felt ashamed of his previous actions.
But that strong man was also clever, taking advantage of the Taoist skill to escape.
"Shall we have a close combat match? How about it?"
Wu Xiaode asked again.
The Fishman hesitated for a few moments, then grew excited again.
"Close combat? I enjoy playing this way."
"Very few beings can reach here through close combat—no, it has almost never happened in my memory."
It charged towards Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode casually took a boxing stance.
The two collided, exchanging dozens of blows, and the Fishman head-butted Wu Xiaode, sending him flying.
Boom!
Wu Xiaode crashed into the ground.
The Fishman landed, stood by the crater, and crossed its arms, saying:
"I'm skilled at close combat—so long as you maintain the identity of all beings, I alone can stop you."
Wu Xiaode leapt from the pit, spat out a mouthful of bloody foam, and said, "You can't stop me."
The Fishman shook its head and said:
"All the fighting skills of beings are nothing more than those tricks, I have thoroughly mastered them, as soon as you make a move, I can counter it."
"Oh?" Wu Xiaode punched the void.
The Fishman casually blocked, letting the void punch hit its arm with a crackling sound, then suddenly stepped sideways forward.
It appeared directly behind Wu Xiaode, spun, and swept a kick.
Wu Xiaode barely blocked it, but was sent flying again, crashing on the ground five or six times before jumping up and steadying himself.
"I love close combat with beings, and I've killed countless masters, so as long as you make a move, I know how to take you down."
The Fishman said proudly.
Wu Xiaode looked at the Fishman in surprise.
——Didn't expect such a skilled close-range fighter among Evil Demons.
His own excitement was rising.
Close combat is truly an adrenaline rush.
Quite enjoyable.
"You say you can handle all the moves of beings?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"That's right." The Fishman nodded.
Wu Xiaode repositioned his boxing stance and said in a deep voice:
"Then, when I use this move, how would you respond?"
The Fishman also assumed a combat posture, shouting: "Make your move."
Wu Xiaode's figure flashed, darting out like electricity, turning into a small black dot on the ground within a few blinks of an eye.
Indeed!
During the offense and defense with the Fishman just now, he intentionally adjusted his position.
Even when he was sent flying, it was towards that distant ruin.
He had already run away!
Since the other pursuers had disappeared, only the Fishman remained to intercept.
In any case, he ran further and further, getting closer to the ruin.
The Fishman's mouth opened slightly, then it suddenly shouted angrily:
"Weren't we playing close combat?!"
It pinched a handprint with one hand, transformed into a shadow, and swiftly crossed the vast land.
In just an instant.
The Fishman overtook Wu Xiaode, its whole body of scales bursting with a supersonic boom, its eyes filled with violent killing intent.
It clenched its fist, letting out a muffled roar:
"Take this——"
Wu Xiaode resisted the urge to use "Broken Shadow."
After all, the skill passed down by Sarina was a Holy Realm technique, once used, it could alarm other Evil Demons.
But if he didn't use that move——
The Fishman knew all the moves of all beings.
How could he respond to break its boxing?
Using Evil Spirit Skill?
That wouldn't work either.
Only he could use Evil Spirit Skill.
The Holy Skill "Broken Shadow" came with "Ordinary" for concealment.
Once the Evil Spirit Skill was displayed, driven by Evil Spirit Power, it would no doubt be noticed by other Evil Demons.
Truly, he could only use the skills of beings to respond.
There was simply no way to fight.
——Let alone respond, just dodging would be a win!
Wu Xiaode's thoughts raced.
The Evil Spirit Book subtly flipped, releasing the newly upgraded card "Blood Youth" and hiding it in Wu Xiaode's sleeve.
At the same moment.
Wu Xiaode suddenly turned his back to the Fishman, shouting to the void behind him:
"Watch the punch!"
He punched into the void.
The Fishman was momentarily stunned.
As an Evil Demon adept at close combat, it could even sense danger in advance.
But it clearly felt danger, yet didn't know where it came from——
Generally, this was impossible.
Where exactly was the threat of the opponent's punch?
Exactly.
Completely turning his back to the enemy and punching into the void, such a fighting move was something it had never seen.
This was an unseen move!
The Merman suddenly recalled the look of fear on the strong man's face as he was being choked.
No, better be cautious!
The Merman took a half step back and shouted, "What move is that!"
Behind it, a voluptuous, enchanting woman with red eyes and white hair appeared—
Blood Youth!
In this Holy Realm of Ten Thousand Evil Reincarnations, based on the principle of "concealment," her age was suddenly increased by more than ten years to match her power.
Blood Youth didn't use any evil magic, nor her original skills, and directly launched a flying knee attack towards the Merman.
The Merman suddenly turned to respond.
Taking this opportunity, Wu Xiaode dashed away at full speed—
"Get lost!"
The Merman roared angrily.
Even though Blood Youth had just completed a level-up, she was still punched away by the Merman.
The Merman transformed back into a dark shadow, traversing the long distance, chasing Wu Xiaode once again.
This time, Wu Xiaode gained some time, fully focusing on evading, and was about to reach the ruins.
The Merman, seeing this, could no longer hold its composure. Its body scales trembled, unleashing intense killing intent—
The two gradually drew closer.
It overtook Wu Xiaode, blocking his path!
In a flash—
Wu Xiaode suddenly took out a basketball from his ring, dribbled it between his legs back and forth, and shouted:
"Come defend me!"
The Merman raised its hand but suddenly froze.
Throughout countless epochs, numerous heroes, heavenly gods and demons, countless fighting skills, it had seen them all.
But not this move!
Those masters who bore the mission of preserving the epochs never used such a ball move!
"Interesting, then I'll try to attack it."
The Merman said cautiously.
Wu Xiaode suddenly threw the ball to the left side of the Merman, while he ran to the right.
——Player and ball separated!
This is a basketball maneuver, not a fighting technique.
How would you respond?
The Merman was not fooled and ignored the ball, punching directly at Wu Xiaode.
Snap.
A light snap was heard.
A card attached to the side of the basketball instantly unfolded.
Blood Youth!
After being thrown away previously, she turned back into a card and returned to Wu Xiaode's hand.
At this moment, taking advantage of the Merman's full attack on Wu Xiaode, she launched a surprise attack again!
"Useless!"
The Merman roared, planning to withstand Blood Youth's attack and knock Wu Xiaode to the ground first.
Unexpectedly, Blood Youth didn't attack him. Instead, she swung her slender, jade-like leg horizontally towards its fist with full force.
Boom——
In a blast-like sound, Blood Youth's kick didn't cause any damage, merely causing the Merman's fist to slightly veer off.
Wu Xiaode didn't make a move either.
He just kept adjusting his body to take the punch.
Thunk!
The fist struck his crossed arms, instantly sending him flying.
"Damn it!"
The Merman suddenly shouted, exasperated.
Its punch had veered off course.
The opponent changed their posture.
So this punch directly sent him flying, even accelerating him towards the ruins.
The Merman formed a handprint again.
Its entire figure turned into a fierce dark shadow, rapidly chasing after.
But it was too late.
Wu Xiaode was already standing before the scattered ruins.
The Merman landed beside him, about to attack, but saw him holding a bizarre handprint.
Initial · Jiaosuǎ Qúqióng.
S-level evil magic!
"Game over, I win. If you keep fighting, I won't hold back."
Wu Xiaode said calmly.
The Merman paused for a long moment before saying: "You cheated, the other two who blocked you were intimidated by your S-level status, so it doesn't count as you winning."
Wu Xiaode smiled slightly.
"Of course, it doesn't count as me winning. How could humans possibly win against us?" he said.
The Merman opened its mouth but couldn't say anything more.
There was truly nothing to say.
The other admitted cheating and admitted defeat, continuing to fight was meaningless.
Besides, it was just a game.
If it were a real fight, the opponent would use evil magic and wouldn't engage in close combat with it.
"Hmph, if you play games again next time, don't cheat."
The Merman said listlessly and flashed away.
Only Wu Xiaode remained standing there.
He merely stood there, looking at the vast ruins before him.
In truth——
The Merman didn't know the most important thing——
Even though Wu Xiaode, posing as an Evil Demon, coerced the strong man into acting, creating a one-on-one situation in the end, it wasn't cheating.
Because he wasn't an Evil Demon.
He was a human!
——As a human, he deceived the strong man, manipulated it, and finally arrived at the ruins.
This is a victory for humanity!
For countless years.
Finally, a human reached here without dying and even pushed the situation to an unprecedented direction.
Wu Xiaode's eyes fell on the ruins, remaining still.
What appeared to be a city's ruins, up close, with a careful look, was not ruins.
It was the body of a gigantic entity, mostly buried underground, only showing sparse edges on the surface, so it looked like the remains of a civilization.
The Evil Spirit Book had long been opened, displaying lines of small bronze lettering:
"You have reached the depths of the Holy Realm of Ten Thousand Evil Reincarnations."
"You represent the beings of countless epochs past and present, to witness the slumbering body of the U-level Evil Demon."
"You have comprehended the Truth Skill of the current U-level Evil Demon——"
"Ten Thousand Evil Sleepy Dreams."
"In this realm of reincarnation, all other level evil demons are merely projections of this U-level Evil Demon in its dreams."
"——Its single dream is enough to destroy the Endless Epoch."
