Bai Yu!!

He had never expected that the opponent could absorb his Rotten Light using Bai Yu. Such a tactic had never crossed his mind, and where on earth had he acquired such a large piece of pure Bai Yu?

At this moment, amidst the hurricane, with a huge piece of Bai Yu, Chen Qing successfully absorbed all the Rotten Light tainted in the hurricane. The Bai Yu turned into black jade, but the Divine Wind Technique had been completely purified!

Seeing the effectiveness of his strategy, Chen Qing seized the opportunity, his dagger imbued with the power of the Divine Wind Technique, instantly locking onto the opponent’s throat!

Rotten Light Technique was a super trump card for many Poison Sorcerers in the third phase.

At that time, groups of Poison Sorcerers skyrocketed to T0 tier with this signature Rotten Light Technique, causing many previously prestigious Elemental Artisans to bemoan and many assassins to protest vehemently, primarily because the technique was shamelessly powerful.

Once in close quarters, its speed was comparable to light, and no strength could block it, be it armor or any other elemental power.

They could only watch as it infiltrated everything!

If you were a ranged profession, it was somewhat better as the technique had a limited range.

If you could dodge it in time, it was not a big problem, but it was very unfriendly for melee fighters.

Once a Poison Sorcerer got close, even if you were twenty levels higher, you couldn’t evade it, making it even more vicious than an assassin. ..

Back then, countless people protested against this skill on forums, calling for the game developers to delete or modify it... of course, the main protesters were non-ranged warrior classes.

But in reality, there were ways to counter the Rotten Light Technique, and the best method was through the absorption by Bai Yu.

The infectivity of Rotten Light was even more exaggerated than water-based poison, but when it met Bai Yu, which could actively absorb and store energy, it was like a meat bun meeting a dog...

This method was only thought of and began to be widely used when the fourth version was about to update.

Chen Qing hadn’t used it individually. After all, the testers were all professional gamers with extremely quick reactions.

He’d only seen in many videos how others used it.

Rotten Light, after all, was a high-level poison technique.

It couldn’t be completely cracked by just one thing.

Bai Yu could absorb it, but it required precise timing.

To some masters of poison, even if you covered yourself in Bai Yu, they could still wear you down.

However, unfortunately for the guy in front of him, he wasn’t one of the experts from his past life. It was clear that despite possessing the strongest poison technique of the third version, his technique was as crude as a newbie’s!

Who... exactly is this person?

Bai Feng stared blankly at the opponent...

The blade struck straight at the throat, and with his body stiff from using the poison sac, he was almost unable to move at all, merely watching as the blade approached his carotid artery, with a bitter smile in his heart.

That Sparrow Bee fellow... where did he find such a formidable person?

"Give me poison!!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out next to his ear!

"Hm?" Bai Feng, who had already prepared to close his eyes and await death, was astonished as he looked at Chen Qing. He was sure that it seemed to be the voice of his opponent.

"He’s coming, give me poison!" As soon as Chen Qing finished speaking, he didn’t hesitate and thrust the dagger towards Bai Feng’s back!

That instant, Bai Feng also understood the other party’s intention... This person wasn’t with Sparrow Bee at all!!!

The fact that he didn’t hesitate to break his Rotten Light was to prove to Bai Feng that he had the capability to kill him, but he wanted to cooperate!

This dominant declaration was more reliable than any other method!

Having realized this, Bai Feng without hesitation gathered the Rotten Light Poison again and directed it onto the other party’s dagger. At the same moment, Chen Qing’s dagger thrust toward the direction of the shadow behind Bai Feng.

Good fellow...

That moment, Bai Feng suddenly worried for his compatriot. What kind of ruthless character had they found?

Chen Qing was very decisive because he knew the opponent was a Phantom player, and now was the best time to kill such a person!

Once targeted by a Phantom, you would have this constant sense of fear of being watched.

The ability to discern the threat and locate your position comes the instant you mark someone.

Otherwise, if you could silently mark someone and then suddenly appear while they were asleep or resting to strike, that ability would be a bit too shameless.

Chen Qing was confident that neither he nor Tianji had been marked, so the opponent using Phantom could only manifest upon Bai Feng!

There were only two moments to deal with Phantom players.

One was when you were marked by the opponent.

During that instant, your senses would be extremely accurate, locking onto the opponent’s position immediately.

As long as you didn’t let the enemy escape during that moment, you could deal with the one marking you head-on.

But it was hard to react in time because anyone mastering this skill would only mark those they couldn’t easily beat face-to-face.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t take the trouble.

If it’s someone hard to beat, then the timing for marking would naturally be perfect.

It would be in a complex environment that provides an easy escape.

Generally, you have few chances to realize you’ve been marked, locate the enemy, and kill them on the spot. ..

However, there’s a second opportunity, which is to precisely calculate the moment your opponent uses Phantom and deliver a fatal blow!

Phantom is a double-edged sword. You could suddenly attack your enemy, but your enemy could also attack you.

If you guard against the moment they materialize, at that time, they just left the shadow space, their balance and focus are at their worst, and they might be oblivious of their surroundings.

At that moment, if someone can anticipate your use of Phantom, the user ends up at a disadvantage!

Chen Qing wasn’t an expert in this area.

He had only seen such demonstration videos from top players in his previous life.

He remembered a female player named Li Goudan, who specialized in posting videos of counter-killing Phantom players – she never failed, achieving tremendous popularity, and even he had rewarded her generously.

Who would have thought that one day he would utilize the knowledge from a game streamer...

Chen Qing quickly recalled points from Li Goudan’s conclusions in his mind.

Once a Phantom player uses the technique, there would be many telltale signs, the first being that their shadow would no longer move.

At the instant they decide to materialize, their anchor point becomes your shadow.

At that moment, regardless of whether you move or not, your shadow would stay still, and the opponent will certainly emerge from your shadow.

The position they emerge from will be proportional to your shadow and their body, which indicates their exact position.

By preemptively judging the position and aiming for the vital spot, you can ensure their downfall!

This is the spot!

Chen Qing took a deep breath, his nerves frayed to the breaking point.

Calculating the height of the pseudo-feminine figure in front of him, an unprecedented intuition surged through him like electric current, exciting him.

That strike, it seemed to enter a certain realm.

At that moment, Chen Qing was certain, if the opponent came at him, unless he couldn’t break through the defense, otherwise. .. they would surely die!

----------------------

"What happened after that?"

In a certain location in Jiangnan, after being on guard for three days, Zi Yue and others had detected sixteen space distortions, bringing over a variety of things, including refugees from the Southern Barbarians, monsters from the South, and even some poisonous insects and wild beasts of the Southern Barbarians.

In any case, there was no pattern to it, the only commonality was they were all living things.

Just when Zi Yue and the others were completely at a loss, they found Mister Tianji!

Mister Tianji, covered in injuries and nearly exhausted.

Zi Yue spent an entire day using an immense amount of Mountain God Elixir for Mister Tianji to soak in, barely managing to bring him back to consciousness.

At this point, Mister Tianji seemed to have suffered spiritual damage, and it took half a day of guidance by Zi Yue for him to recall the last moments of his escape with Chen Qing.

They were just discussing Chen Qing’s desperate charge into the heart of the poisonous miasma towards Bai Feng, and how he guessed in the moment of restraining Bai Feng that the pseudo-feminine Sparrow Bee would use Phantom Transmission to come over, so he struck preemptively.

This storyline had Zi Yue and the others listening holding their breaths.

Zi Yue, in particular, began to look at Chen Qing in a new light.

He had always thought Chen Qing to be a deep, behind-the-scenes sort of person, yet he hadn’t expected his combat talent to be so exceptional as well.

This kind of on-the-spot judgement and intuition, she admitted she couldn’t have done it herself.

Even after living through countless battles over tens of thousands of years, she was certain that had she been in Chen Qing’s place, she absolutely could not have fought to survive from such a desperate situation!

"What happened next?" Shen Eleven also listened with a flushed face, "Did he win?"

Elder Tianji shook his head at the question.

"Didn’t win?" Everyone tensed, Zi Yue’s face also turned pale. That’s right, if they had won, Mister Tianji wouldn’t be in his current state.

"Misjudged?"

"No..." Tianji took a breath, "It’s because the judgement was too accurate that..."

Mustering up his energy with difficulty, Tianji continued to recall the situation at that time...

-----------------------------------

Drip....

A drop of cold sweat fell, the Sparrow Bee, who had activated Phantom, froze on the spot, his face turning deathly pale!

An unprecedented feeling, even when sealed tens of thousands of years ago, he hadn’t felt such danger. That trash from Dragon Palace, he actually...

The Sparrow Bee abruptly looked towards the place where Chen Qing was, fortunate that he possessed the Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey’s gift, which allowed that fleeting sense of crisis to stop him from completing the step of teleportation, otherwise.

.. he was almost certain that had he done so, he would have surely died!

That guy...

After the fright came surging anger, without any hesitation, he dived directly towards Chen Qing’s direction.

-----------------------

"What a pity..."

On the other side, regret flickered in Chen Qing’s eyes.

That might have been his only chance at this stage to kill the opponent.

He had seen the opponent activate Phantom, because Bai Feng’s shadow had indeed remained pinned in place, unwavering.

.. by all logic, the opponent should have popped out of the shadow in the next instant. ..

That was the crucial moment to halt their steps...

The only possibility was that the Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey’s divine power took effect in the opponent’s body, avoiding the risk!

"Tianji!"

Chen Qing turned back and roared, "Quick, Destiny Hole, the barrier is unstable, open the Destiny Hole now, the opponent won’t dare to follow!"

At that moment, with Bai Feng in hand, detoxification was possible, and Sparrow Bee was still far away. Although he couldn’t kill the opponent, he had interrupted their Phantom Transmission, making it the opportune time to open the Destiny Hole and flee!

-------------------------

"So... you opened the Destiny Hole and ran again?" Zi Yue began to understand why the Southern Barbarians were connected with Jiangnan. It must have been the Destiny Hole that disturbed the space, but what puzzled her was, could this disturbance really be so exaggerated?

Tens of spatial rifts in a row, was it really all because of a single transfer by Mister Tianji?

"Someone sabotaged the Destiny Hole at a critical moment!"

"At a critical moment?" Zi Yue was startled, "Who? That Sparrow Bee?"

"No..." Tianji shook his head, someone who had already marked Chen Qing with a seed!
