Counterattack Back to Square One

Has it started?

A deep voice came from above.

Fang Li frowned tightly, enduring the excruciating pain from the ever-expanding wound, and looked up.

There, Sabrac stood as if riding on a raging torrent of flames, looking down at Fang Li.

"This is my Inherent Skill free," Sabrac said in a low voice, as if talking to himself.

"That's Inherent Skill that allows the wounds left by my attacks to slowly widen over time. Normal Inherent Skill for dispelling curses and healing is ineffective against it. Even Flame Haze Warrior can only obediently wait for their death under this Inherent Skill. As a human, judging from this amount of bleeding, I'm afraid you'll die completely in less than three minutes."

This is the signature technique that Inherent Skill Sabrac infamous as an assassin; like the Wrath of Flames, it is one of Sabrac's signature moves.

The most distinctive feature of this exceptionally powerful Crimson King is its ability to conceal itself from its target without their knowledge, and then launch a terrifying attack that cannot be predicted in advance, delivering a merciless Wrath of Flames upon the target.

That strike would destroy everything around it; its power was terrifying.

An ordinary opponent would perish from the very beginning with this attack, never even seeing the opponent's true face, and would die with resentment.

Even if an opponent manages to survive the terrifying power of the Wrath of Flames, they will be severely injured by the countless swords and blades mixed in with it.

In such a situation, Sabrac can deliver a fatal blow before the opponent has a chance to readjust their position.

Even if they survive this, the wounds they sustained from countless swords will continue to worsen due to another Inherent Skill cast by Sabrac, causing their physical strength, endurance, and mental power to decline continuously. Ultimately, they will either die from Sabrac's pursuit or from their ever-growing injuries.

It possesses the formidable strength of the Third Level, and also boasts such terrifying combat techniques.

This is what makes the Crimson King, known as the "Bad Blade," so terrifying.

Even the "Bal Masqué" had to show respect to Sabrac, and could only hire him to do things for them, which is the best proof of that.

"Although I didn't expect a human to survive my Wrath of Flames at first, it seems that my other Inherent Skill is still working perfectly."

Sabrac stood atop the raging torrent of dark red flames, looking down at Fang Li, who was kneeling on one knee, covered in blood, and spoke in a deep voice.

"This is my Inherent Skill, the Holy Mark."

Listening to Sabrac's unexpectedly rambling words, Fang Li simply met his gaze, and his face, which was pale from blood loss, couldn't help but force a smile.

"Holy Mark?" Fang Li watched the wound widen and bleed profusely, his body spilling blood onto the ground.

"Although they have the same name, it's a pity that they are quite different."

As he said this, Fang Li closed his eyes briefly, then opened them wide.

Ice-Blue Demon Eyes appeared in its eyes.

However, Fang Li did not look at Sabrac, but looked at his own body.

A crack-like Death Lines suddenly appeared in Fang Li's field of vision.

Fang Li simply stared at the hideous wounds on his body.

On it, tiny Death Lines slowly emerged.

"This power..."

Fang Li raised Bō Xié in his hand.

"It's not Holy Mark at all!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the sharp, pure white lightsaber pierced down and plunged into Fang Li's body.

"Bang----!"

A sound, as if something had shattered on Fang Li's body, suddenly rang out.

At that moment, the Inherent Skill imposed on Fang Li was killed, just as the name suggests.

Suddenly, the ever-expanding wounds on Fang Li's body stopped deepening.

"Zheng—!"

Immediately afterwards, a soft light shone on Fang Li Li's other hand, illuminating Fang Li entire body and gradually healing the hideous wounds until they disappeared completely.

"What?!" Sabrac's eyes widened instantly.

The Matoba before him told Sabrac story.

His Inherent Skill has been broken.

Fang Li's injuries were all healed.

The light emanating from a gemstone held tightly in his hand.

"In this way..."

Fang Li put away the Healing Gem, held the Moon Blade in one hand and Bō Xié in the other, slowly stood up, looked at the astonished Sabrac, and spoke indifferently.

"The situation has returned to square one."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Li's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"————!"

Sabrac reacted instantly and retreated without any hesitation.

"Choke----!"

Almost simultaneously, a cold blade of light slashed across the spot where Sabrac had been standing, tearing through the air.

Only then did Fang Li's figure slowly emerge, his Ice-Blue Demon Eyes fixed on Sabrac. Seeing Sabrac's slightly changed expression, he suddenly lunged forward.

"Clang—!"

A crisp, clear sound rang out.

That was the sound of Fang Li's Moon Blade being blocked the moment it struck.

"Clang—!"

The second sound of impact quickly followed.

That was the sound of Sabrac launching a sharp counterattack, only to have it blocked by Fang Li's Bō Xié.

Fang Li and Sabrac stood facing each other amidst the raging sparks, both holding weapons in their hands, their eyes meeting in mid-air.

This is not a good thing.

At least so far, no one has ever been able to remain calm while looking directly into Fang Li's Magic Eye.

Therefore, when suddenly confronted with those Ice-Blue Demon Eyes, even a ruthless demon Demon Lord like Sabrac couldn't help but tremble and lose his composure.

Instantly, dazzling starlight shone from Fang Li's body, causing star-like fragments to linger around him and converge at the soles of his feet.

"Flash Run - Nagyue!"

In that instant, all the Star Pulse Energy gathered under Fang Li's feet was transformed into attack power and explosive force.

The kick, as sharp as falling moonlight, landed heavily on Sabrac's chest.

"Thump—!"

With a heavy, muffled thud like the tolling of a bell, Sabrac was kicked away violently, flying backward like a cannonball with a whooshing force.

However, Fang Li's figure also suddenly transformed into a phantom, like a shooting star chasing after him, sweeping across the air and instantly catching up with Sabrac.

"Flash Sheath - Seven Nights!"

A slash like the aurora borealis suddenly appeared.

"Pfft—!"

The sound of flesh being torn apart reverberated.
