Chapter 480 - 477: Celestial Wolf
"Xilou, it’s indeed you."
Bai Pu squinted. The unexpected blade from the shadows just now was very similar to the tactics he encountered with Xilou last time at Western Capital University.
Bai Pu had already looked into Xilou’s profile. Although there wasn’t much information, it was enough.
Xilou’s ability to appear and disappear like a ghost was due to his cultivation of the "Shadow Mystical Arts."
And Xilou himself, being a [Phantom Assassin] with an Agility Specialty, made the Shadow Mystical Arts complement his profession perfectly, allowing the creation of a Phantom Realm. Within this Phantom Realm, he could quickly conceal himself and also aid allies in concealing.
The concealment priority of the Phantom Realm was as high as Level 8!
Only someone like Bai Pu, with an Enhanced Heroic Profession and a Three-star detection skill, might be able to pull Xilou out of the Phantom Realm.
The tall and robust Awakened next to Xilou flashed with a blue light all over, and immediately Bai Pu felt the surrounding space become sluggish.
[Celestial Wolf used Black Iron Major’s rank to initiate a military suppression against you!]
[Your rank: Lieutenant, suppression in effect!]
[For (600) seconds, you cannot use any items or skills related to Spirit Realm teleportation.]
S-level wanted criminal, Celestial Wolf!
Bai Pu saw this notorious code name even in the Special Service Bureau and felt a shock in his heart.
Apparently, Celestial Wolf’s status was even higher than Xilou’s.
This time, Xilou actively assisted, using his Phantom Realm to support Celestial Wolf, aiming to bring Bai Pu down here!
"Gangxin, next year on this day will be the anniversary of your death." Xilou declared a predictable victory statement.
"Simli Deputy Director?" Tom and Oshana looked at Xilou with confusion.
They did not understand why Simli Deputy Director would collude with outsiders to attack students from Garrison Academy.
And the conversation between Bai Pu and Xilou, involving the World Mystery, was naturally blocked from the natives.
Xilou didn’t even look at the other two native students. In his heart, he had already sentenced both of them to death. After all, the identity of "Simli" was something he had gained after several random explorations in the Demon Fighting World, and only by silencing them could he keep his identity.
Additionally, Xilou wouldn’t do it himself. He would leave it to Celestial Wolf, ensuring no drop in reputation or any negative effects.
The reason Xilou valued this identity was simple: advanced Spirit Realm tickets were relatively rare and no longer designated for a specific world. They could only be vaguely located to all worlds of the same type and style!
For example, Xilou using a ticket from the Demon Fighting World might eventually match with a magical style advanced Spirit Realm like [Holy War: Crusades]!
Celestial Wolf raised his long saber, coldly smiling: "I heard you are the master of a Boundary Land, you can try returning to the Boundary Land."
Bai Pu had no need to try. The ability to return to the Boundary Land was already in a gray unusable state, evidently suppressed by the rank as well.
In front, Celestial Wolf and Xilou, two advanced Awakened, blocked the way.
Behind, the True Red Executor was gradually approaching.
Bai Pu took a light breath, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, and took a big step forward. In his eyes, he clearly saw Celestial Wolf’s combat power value.
Deep red, 450 points.
At least a Level 9 Enhanced Hero, even stronger than the Tokesen from War God Peak!
"Quite bold." Celestial Wolf licked his lips and gave an evaluation. He raised his long saber, and the blood-red Fighting Qi spread like a raging tide.
Swish!
Celestial Wolf’s figure shot towards Bai Pu like a flash of lightning, the long saber slashing horizontally at Bai Pu’s neck like the Scythe of Death God.
So fast!
The Blood River Territory didn’t restrict Celestial Wolf’s speed; Bai Pu could only brace his shield to meet the attack. Such speed already formed a speed crush; there was no time to parry with a weapon.
However, the expected sound of blade against shield did not occur. Celestial Wolf’s figure suddenly flashed behind Bai Pu!
So fast that Bai Pu had no time to turn, his back received a scorching hit!
-708!
This single slash chopped off 700+ Life Value from Bai Pu! The mighty force even made Bai Pu stagger forward.
To note, Bai Pu had already switched Adaptive Evolution to Scaly Skin to halve the Sharp Damage!
Bai Pu also had various passive power counter measures; generally, attacks below 100 Power points find it hard to shake Bai Pu’s balance. To make Bai Pu stagger, at least 150+ Power points were needed!
"Power and Agility double Specialty... both over 150 points!"
Bai Pu took a step forward, then rolled forward and adopted a standard half-kneeling shield-up stance, to defend against Celestial Wolf’s next attack.
At this point, the True Red Executor was closing in, Oshana and Tom were struggling to protect themselves, having no capacity to support Bai Pu.
Xilou’s Phantom Realm opened again, concealing him and Celestial Wolf, avoiding attacks from the True Red Executor while facilitating sneak attacks on Bai Pu.
In the shadows, Celestial Wolf grinned wickedly, as the tide of blood-red Fighting Qi erupted again, and blade shadows filled the forest.
Bai Pu could only brace the shield for defense, but the familiar feeling came again as Celestial Wolf’s shape flickered and slipped to Bai Pu’s side, adding another slash to Bai Pu’s waist.
-611!
"Doesn’t seem too hard to kill." Celestial Wolf, seeing Bai Pu’s Life Value dropping below 3000, sneered.
"Indeed, Brother Celestial Wolf specializes in Power and Agility, with attributes over 150 points! Gangxin’s power is decent, but his agility is terribly weak, just right for Brother Celestial Wolf." Xilou praised, "Killing Gangxin and taking his heart back would be a great achievement for Brother Celestial Wolf!"
"You get credit too," Celestial Wolf replied with a laugh, then burst with Fighting Qi again, countless blade shadows slashing towards Bai Pu, making it impossible to discern where the next slash would land.
In terms of Combat Specialization, Bai Pu was not inferior to Celestial Wolf.
But hard attribute agility was indeed inferior by too much!
Bai Pu suddenly stood up, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, that was the light of a desperate fight!
Sizzle! Pop!
The Demon Spider Empress’s Warning, Demon Power Release! Protector’s Special Effect activated!
The thin Shield Armor Plates embedded around Bai Pu’s body.
Celestial Wolf’s next slash landed on Bai Pu’s side ribs, blocked by the Shield Armor Plates, nullifying 90% of the damage.
Just as Celestial Wolf’s attack hit, his figure was inevitably paused for a brief moment.
Bai Pu suddenly reached out, as if rehearsed countless times, the Lasso Strike hit Celestial Wolf precisely. The next second, the phantom of a collapsing mountain magnified in Celestial Wolf’s eyes, and he was dragged towards Bai Pu!
The Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts descended violently.
However, Celestial Wolf, also an Enhanced Hero Level Awakened, directly used a decoupling artifact to forcefully remove the [Suppression] effect, then gracefully moved back a foot.
With a mocking smile, Celestial Wolf watched as Bai Pu’s sword tip almost grazed the tip of his own nose.
This missed strike would inevitably leave Bai Pu in recovery lag, just giving Celestial Wolf the opportunity for a vicious combo attack!
