The scent of Forbidden Substances...
Li Chen sensed it. Others might not be able to sense this aura, but as someone who controlled Forbidden Substances, he could clearly feel it.
Something is being born within the blood mist.
"Rebuke"
Li Chen frowned, waved his arm, and an invisible wave dispelled all the blood mist.
Inside, the Mutation, Shi Nie was revealed.
He was laughing wildly, his eyes were spinning involuntarily, and he was still holding the Three Lives Pearl in his hand.
Yu Qingnian was not far away, also sensed that something was wrong.
This is a rhythm that's about to turn into Eerie Monsters.
How could a challenge match result in a death?
Faluo's expression was also somewhat uncertain, because they were unsure whether this was due to the ability of the Shi Nie, or whether it was truly transforming into a Mutation Eerie Monsters.
Moreover, this is a challenge tournament, and their easy interference could affect the outcome.
"It's alright, Li Chen knows what to do." Yu Qingnian looked across the field and said.
Having been to the Ruined Pass, he knew quite a bit about things. Although he didn't know Li Chen as well as Gu Cheng, as Li Chen's mentor, he understood that this small matter could be easily resolved.
On the field.
Shi Nie stopped laughing, and his blood-red eyes suddenly turned to Li Chen, bursting forth with extreme malice.
"Li Chen, you deserve to die."
"You shouldn't have blocked my way, you shouldn't have blocked my brother's way! Today, it's either you or me who dies!!"
His voice was terrifying.
But Li Chen merely raised his eyes, his gaze unusually cold. He could already sense that the man before him was being completely dissolved by that chaotic consciousness, his humanity being eroded.
Forbidden Substances are not something humans can consume. Li Chen could sense that there were still Forbidden Substances left in his hands, indicating that the two strange beads were indeed Forbidden Objects.
But this thing actually dared to devour it; how ignorant!
Li Chen glanced at his teammates who were still fighting around him, and a drop of Forbidden Substance dripped from his fingertip, instantly transforming into an umbrella.
This was his first time dealing with a human on the verge of turning into Eerie Monsters, but as his first attempt, he wanted to see if he could use "ink" to absorb the Forbidden Substance within its body.
If he can absorb the Forbidden Substance from the Eerie Monsters's body, then humans should be able to as well.
Holding up an open black umbrella, Li Chen rose into the air, looking at Shi Nie with the same disdain one would show to Shi Nie.
The entire Battle Institute fell silent instantly.
An eerie aura arose from this place.
All eyes turned to Li Chen and Shi Nie.
Most people still believe that Shi Nie's current appearance is due to his abilities, but many discerning people can see that something is wrong.
But at this moment, something was even more wrong with Li Chen; a strange aura seemed to be Distortion and affecting the entire Battle Institute.
Li Chen didn't pay attention to all that. Instead, he stood calmly in mid-air, holding up his black umbrella, and gently waved his fingers.
Countless jet-black blades spun in the air before falling.
With a whooshing sound, an incredibly Distortion aura hurtled towards Shi Nie.
Shi Nie could feel his body trembling after Li Chen fell into this state; it was the Three Lives Pearl that he had previously swallowed that was trembling inside his stomach.
Even the three beads he held in his hand were trembling incessantly, as if they were about to fly away.
He didn't understand why, but when he looked at Li Chen at that moment, an unnamed fear arose in his heart.
Roar~
With a roar, Shi Nie slashed his own neck with his fingers, and blood instantly flowed out.
But indirectly, his bright red blade was easily recognizable, and blood clung to his hand, marking another mutation of the previously grotesque hand.
"Come, kill me."
"Let me see just how strong you really are!!"
Shi Nie roared furiously, his expression frantic. He stomped his foot on the ground and instantly soared into the air, constantly circling the oncoming blades.
But his gaze remained fixed on Li Chen.
Pfft~
The eerie blades continuously slashed at his swollen body, and he controlled the blood to swirl in the air, like a breathtaking painting.
It seemed that summoning "Ink" had affected Li Chen's emotions, making him unusually indifferent. He murmured...
"It's time to end this farce."
"These so-called Forbidden Substances are not substances that humans can absorb."
At this moment, the entire battlefield had long since ceased fighting.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the battle between the two in the air.
Shi Nie, treading on his own blood, drew ever closer to Li Chen, his fingers still tightly gripping the trembling Three Lives Pearl. He had only one thought in his mind.
That means getting close to Li Chen, inserting the Three Lives Pearl into his body, and then he will win!
But just as he stepped over countless blades and was about to reach Li Chen, his figure suddenly vanished.
Shi Nie was stunned.
When he came to his senses again, Li Chen's face appeared in front of him, and his hand was inserted into his chest.
Shi Nie was stunned. He couldn't feel any pain, but he could feel that he was losing something. The bloodshot eyes on his face were disappearing, and the power in his body was constantly weakening.
Li Chen remained expressionless as he attempted to use the King's Power to extract the Forbidden Substance from a human's body, just as the Eerie Monsters could.
Nothingness... a void...
He could feel that after his hand entered Shi Nie's body, there was nothing but emptiness, and he couldn't touch anything, just like when he had used the King's Power to touch his own body before.
"Why... can't the King's Power be used on humans?"
Suddenly, Li Chen felt a liquid sticking to his right hand. Only then did he realize what was happening, and he pulled his hand away, only to find that Shi Nie in front of him had returned to normal.
His face was filled with extreme terror as he looked at Li Chen and shouted, "Why!"
"Why can't I feel my abilities anymore!"
What did you do?!
Li Chen had already withdrawn his hand, and as shown in the picture, there were specks of blood on the wing on his right hand.
An idea that he could control his blood suddenly arose in his mind.
He actually used the King's Power to steal the abilities of others.
The reason why Shi Nie so terrified was that he couldn't sense the power because it had been transferred to Li Chen. But Li Chen knew that he needed to return it to him, otherwise, if the power were exposed now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But how to return it to him was a problem. After thinking for a few seconds, Li Chen looked at Shi Nie, who was questioning him, and his hand instantly plunged into Shi Nie's chest once again.
"Out."
In the void, countless drops of red liquid dripped from Li Chen's right hand before finally entering that void.
Immediately Shi Nie felt a fluctuation in his own power once again.
But his body involuntarily collapsed.
The side effects of using the Three Lives Pearl had completely overwhelmed his body at this moment. If Li Chen hadn't absorbed the Forbidden Substance from his body, he would have already fallen into madness and chaos, becoming a half-human, half-monster.
