Tong Jiangnan hesitated, still weighing whether to use his last trump card. But Jiang Yue couldn't wait for him to decide.
In truth, Jiang Yue had unleashed one attack after another for no other reason than to distract Tong Jiangnan and keep him on the defensive, leaving him no time to think.
Jiang Yue planned to use that opening to slip in his Year Eater Skill.
Unlike a Year Eater's attack, Jiang Yue's use of the skill was far more subtle.
Whenever a Year Eater launched an attack, dark energy would surge around it, and that distinctly sinister aura was easy to notice and put an opponent on guard.
Of course, being on guard was one thing. Being able to resist was another.
In most cases, unless someone had a powerful warding field, it was practically impossible to evade the erosion of the Year Eater Skill.
Jiang Yue's upgraded Evil-Repelling Talisman and elite Hundred Evils Immunity Halo, as well as Dong Lan's holy light sphere and similar defenses, were the best ways to resist the Year Eater Skill.
Generally speaking, these defenses had a natural immunity to attacks with the Dark Attribute.
Tong Jiangnan had many skills, but he was, after all, the Bizarre Tree's proxy. All his abilities came from the Bizarre Tree.
The Bizarre Tree belonged to the Underground Race. It had remained hidden deep beneath Gaia Planet since the previous epoch, a true creature of darkness.
There was no way the Bizarre Tree could provide skills or equipment with a light attribute.
So no matter how powerful Tong Jiangnan was, he still had a weakness when it came to defending against dark skills like the Year Eater Skill.
Jiang Yue had seen that weakness. As his figure flickered, he pushed the Swiftness Talisman to its limit. Combined
