NOVEL NEXT chapter 142 - New Talent——Charming Depravity
Kha'Zix moved first, his wings shaking, instantly transforming into a phantom and charging towards the Dark Elves on the left.
The Dark Elves' expressions subtly changed. The white bone scimitar in his hand glowed with an evil energy, and he sharply slashed forward.
The bone saber and the arm-blade clashed with a 'thud,' and the arm-blade was seen to be shallowly embedded in the bone saber at the point of impact, carving out a gash.
"Se Lai Ni, be careful," the Dark Elves on the right warned.
"I know, Enira, you be careful too. This human is ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ very strange."
After Se Lai Ni finished speaking, she unleashed the evil energy within her and began to fight Kha'Zix.
In the dark night, the two were like unseen shadows, appearing and disappearing, but the sound of their weapons clashing never ceased.
"Now it's just the two of us left."
Enira stared at Qin Tian with an unfriendly gaze, a cold smile on her lips: "Humans are truly complex creatures. If I say you're smart, you did indeed trick me just now. But if I say you're stupid, you truly are stupid enough to dare enter our territory at night."
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian glanced at Kha'Zix in the distance and said with a faint smile:
"Is that so? I think you're quite stupid too. I'm waiting for the isolated state. What are you waiting for?"
The Top Hunter's mark landed on the Dark Elves.
The Hunter's Bloodline activated, greatly concealing his aura, increasing his speed by 70%, and his attack power by 50%.
At the same time, Kha'Zix led one of the Dark Elves away, leaving the Dark Elves in front of him in an isolated and helpless state. From now on, every one of his attacks would deal 120% critical damage.
As soon as his voice fell, the air around Qin Tian suddenly twisted, and the afterimages beneath his feet exploded like spilled ink.
He pushed the Instantaneous Body Technique to its limit, his figure transforming into a black stream of light imbued with chilling killing intent. In the blink of an eye, he traversed ten zhang, his black frost blade whistling through the air with a sharp, piercing sound, slashing diagonally towards Enira's throat at a tricky angle.
"So fast!"
Enira's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpricks, and an eerie evil energy erupted around her.
She instinctively spun and parried with her saber, the surface of her scimitar adorned with thorny dark patterns. The moment it clashed with the black frost blade, a metallic clang like stone striking gold resounded.
Qin Tian's eyes flashed, and he swiftly retreated three steps, using the recoil force.
Under the moonlight, he noticed that the gash on Enira's scimitar was glowing with a strange purple light, clearly indicating it was poisoned.
Poison?
Haha. Qin Tian suddenly changed his moves. The Nine Revolutions Saber's Strange Knife Move was like a slithering ghost, each strike cunningly avoiding vital points yet forcing Enira into a corner.
He deliberately reined in his saber wind; only the subtle, sharp hiss of the blade cutting through the air, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, was chilling.
Cold sweat trickled down Enira's forehead as dark patterns frantically coursed over her skin. She gritted her teeth, her scimitar whirling into a purple light shield, each block jarring her eardrums.
Splashing sparks exploded around the two, making the tree shadows flicker between light and dark, as if enacting a life-and-death light and shadow drama.
Clang, clang, clang! The sound of weapons clashing was incessant. Qin Tian didn't mobilize too much spiritual energy, relying on his physical body and saber techniques to completely suppress the Fourth-tier Enira. Enira's eyes showed deeper shock, even a hint of fear.
Too strong! Why would such a human elite appear here? Whoosh~
Qin Tian's saber stance changed, his wrist twisting to bring the black frost blade across Enira's arm at an incredibly strange angle, leaving a shallow wound.
Enira countered with a stab at Qin Tian's chest, but he dodged it with agile footwork, then suddenly retreated several meters, a smile appearing on his lips.
Enira held her scimitar, a faint unease rising in her heart. Her opponent could clearly have pressed his advantage, so why did he suddenly stop his offensive? What exactly did he want to do?
"Your saber is poisoned?"
Qin Tian looked at Enira, a smile playing on his lips.
Enira didn't speak, her eyes filled with vigilance and solemnity.
"Coincidentally, my saber is also poisoned."
As his voice fell, a sudden wave of dizziness washed over Enira's mind. The world spun before her eyes, and her legs became unsteady.
"You—"
Enira was greatly alarmed. One must know that after being modified by evil energy, her resistance to poison was very high; ordinary poisons were useless against her. Yet, she had only sustained a graze, not even a deep wound, and she had fallen victim just like that?
"Se Lai Ni, save me!"
Enira cried out for help, but the next moment, she saw a figure slowly flying through the forest, a head hooked on its scythe-like forelimbs, its wide-open purple eyes filled with terror.
Se Lai Ni is dead~
Enira closed her eyes in despair, her consciousness plunging into darkness.
"Not bad, Kha'Zix, you won this time."
Qin Tian gave Kha'Zix a thumbs-up.
Kha'Zix hissed twice, a triumphant thought echoing in Qin Tian's mind.
Gurgle. The head rolled twice on the ground, finally coming to rest at Qin Tian's feet.
With a thought, Qin Tian's mental power lifted the head, then he gently wiped it with his hand.
The next moment, two blue orbs of light flew towards him, entering his body.
【Name】Evil Energy Control (Blue)
【Type】Passive Talent 【Introduction】Your body has been modified by evil energy, greatly enhancing various physical functions. Resistance to various negative statuses +50%. You can skillfully control evil energy.
【Name】Bewitching Seduction (Blue)
【Type】Active Talent 【Introduction】Your voice, movements, and gaze carry a strange bewitching power, capable of stirring desire in people's hearts, making them obey your every command. Additionally, you can absorb power from mating to strengthen yourself.
"What the hell, what kind of succubus talent is this?"
Qin Tian's mouth twitched. If this talent were given to the right person, life would be as blissful as a god, with various goddesses bowing beneath his mighty presence, and he could even enhance his strength through unrestrained indulgence.
However, while he also liked beautiful women, he wasn't someone who was indiscriminate. He wouldn't just take any woman. What's more, his efficiency in gaining strength through killing was much higher than through mating.
It was not surprising for the Dark Elves, who worship the Evil God Slaanesh, to have such a talent. In contrast, the other talent, Evil Energy Control, made Qin Tian's mood even more complex.
Within his body, the evil spirit's psionic energy surged, and his body underwent a very slight enhancement.
Blue physical talents no longer had a strong enhancing effect on Qin Tian at this stage, but what made Qin Tian surprised was that as the evil energy circulated faster within his body, the Evil God Curse on his chest actually began to stir.
It wasn't worsening; it was more like a resonance, as if it had found a homologous power and wanted to integrate, yet seemed somewhat hesitant.
"Strange, is it my imagination?"
Qin Tian rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
If enhancing Evil Energy Control could change the curse's power for the better, he could use evolution points to upgrade this talent now. But he worried that if he was wrong, and the upgraded talent instead caused the curse's power to erupt, then the situation would become uncontrollable.
After some consideration, Qin Tian decided to play it safe and first accumulate enough evolution points to give himself room for maneuver.
