This bug is amazing!

Chapter 138 The Ending Battle
In response to the suggestion of "Drunkenly Holding a Lone Goose," Ji Yi replied indifferently:

"Just to my liking."

His body began to tremble.

Every joint is moving at a high frequency in extremely short bursts, making the body appear to be constantly flickering, giving a visually blurry and unreal feeling.

This is using the skill [Joint Grinding Technique].

Under the dual effects of "amplification" and "control" of the mutation amplifier, the upper limit of joint grinding technology has been greatly increased, and his own strength is also constantly rising.

At this moment, in terms of stats alone, he had completely overwhelmed Zui Wan Gu Hong.

And this number is still growing.

"I heard you're from the government," Ji Yi said casually, stretching her wrists and ankles. "Could you tell me a little about the specifics?"

Zuiwan Guhong realized that Ji Yi was stalling for time.

But he didn't care and let Ji Yi raise her strength to its best.

"You can think of it as a 'guild' established by the state to manage players and explore the game."

Ji Yi raised an eyebrow; there really was such a department.

No wonder people say that Zuiwan Guhong has a powerful background; if someone really wanted to kill or kill him, an ordinary person probably couldn't do it.

"I don't think you've done a good enough job in managing players."

Ji Yi's words were pointed.

Neither the control over players nor the emergence of the "Headhunter Alliance" shows any sign of official control.

Gu Hong closed his eyes, tilted his head back and shook his head, and after a long while looked at Ji Yi:

"How could mortals easily interfere with a game set up by the gods? We can discuss more details in person."

I'm not interested.

"I've already used my connections to have the lawsuits against the game company and the court dropped for you, so you won't have any criminal record. As for the meager debt you owe, someone will help you settle that too."

Ji Yi's expression changed slightly:

"It seems I don't need to tell you my contact information."

The drawbacks of the real-name registration system for gaming are clearly evident, making it all too easy for someone to investigate Ji Yi.

This is why Ji Yi doesn't want to stand out too much in multiplayer competitions.

But if he had official protection, perhaps he wouldn't have to be so cautious in everything he did.

It's necessary to get in touch with them and learn more.

While pondering, Zui Wan Gu Hong drew his sword and assumed a fighting stance:
"After talking for so long, you should be ready by now, right? Or should I wait a little longer?"

"hehe."

Ji Yi took out several cards and stuck them on her body; each card had a lip drawn on it.

then.

"A duel game!"

Ji Yi suddenly spoke, and a card appeared in front of him and Zui Wan Gu Hong.

Unlike the others, Zuiwan Guhong was much more cautious, and he quickly understood the rules of the skill.

His response, however, was beyond Ji Yi's expectations.

"Formless - Severing the Mortal World".

Then, Zuiwan Guhong swung his sword and slashed directly at the playing cards in front of him.

Ji Yi was taken aback when she saw this.

The "Duel Game" skill in the skill bar has turned gray!
"Don't be surprised, this move can sever cause and effect, and can even damage the player's physical body in the real world. In other words, it can actually kill a person."

Zuiwan Guhong continued to explain, "But there's no need to worry. I won't use it to kill anyone. I only temporarily cut off the effect of your skill just now. It will be restored in the next dungeon. Let's continue."

Ji Yi: "."

The drunken man holding the lone wild goose was indeed much better than I had imagined.

[Activated effect: Stealing]

[Steal Equipment: Whispers of the End]

The lone goose in front of him seemed to be stunned for a moment.

boom!
Ji Yi, carrying his longsword, unleashed a supersonic sprint. He currently possessed three legendary-level pieces of equipment, and was also a pure stat-based monster.

This strike aimed straight for the enemy's head!

In the instant he got close.

Selfless Sword Formation, Selfless Sword Domain, activate!
hum-

A terrifying sword aura slashed towards Ji Yi, but Ji Yi remained unmoved, letting himself be cut and bleed profusely.

Click!

The sword easily sliced ​​open Zuiwan Guhong's head.

But Ji Yi frowned.

[The skill "Crane Shadow in the Empty Mountains" allows the user to transform reality into illusion within the sword domain, granting immunity to all physical damage.]

The data analysis provides an explanation.

With the amplification effect, Ji Yi's [Quick Thinking] ability increased more than threefold, allowing her to react instantly.

Zuiwan Guhong has extremely high battle intelligence. He realized that Ji Yi mainly used physical attacks and made targeted countermeasures.

"That's not how you use a sword."

The illusory figure of the drunken lone goose spoke softly.

【Sword Domain of No Self - Slaying All Things】

In an instant, alarm bells rang in Ji Yi's mind!

He was locked in by the aura and could not escape, and taking this attack head-on would only lead to his death!

Damn it, looks like I have no choice but to reveal my hand!
He roared, "Formless - Severing the Mortal World!"

hum!
The final whisper waved once more.

Just as Zui Wan Gu Hong activated his skill, Ji Yi used [Tuo Ka Technique] to copy the opponent's killing move.

The skills copied by the Tuoka technique can ignore the learning conditions; even skills that are limited to the [Selfless Sword Master] class can still be copied.

However, the activation conditions remain unchanged, requiring the consumption of physical strength, mental energy, and spiritual power. Ji Yi could barely meet the last requirement.

Because of the restrictions on activation conditions, most of the skills of Miss Cat, a "high magic combat mage", do not need to be copied.

'I originally intended to save the [Formless - Severing the Mortal World] as a trump card, but I didn't expect it to be forced out in just one exchange.'

Ideally, such a surprise attack would succeed against any opponent.

But the other party was a drunken lone goose.

[A single thought knows no distance]

brush--

The aura locked onto Ji Yi, along with the swirling sword energy, vanished completely.

【Song of the Void-Treading Sword】

In the sky, Zui Wan Gu Hong, sword in hand, calmly looked at Ji Yi.

The two sides faced off, and Ji Yi's [Mouth Replacement Card] began spewing out garbage nonsense.

Ji Yi's brows gradually furrowed.

His weaknesses have been completely exploited. Although he has the strongest stats, if Gu Hong can stay in the air, the disadvantage for Ji Yi will be enormous.

After all, no matter how fast he is, as long as the lone goose in the air can react in time, then with a single straight sprint and no way to change direction in the air, Ji Yi will only be a sitting duck.

If [Duel Game] hadn't been banned, he might have had a way to deal with this situation.

Take out the [Tissue Regeneration Ointment] and first heal the wound that was just injured.

Zui Wan Gu Hong watched silently.

Ji Yi knew that this was not a display of humility from a master, but rather that even Gu Hong dared not attack rashly.

Ji Yi was well aware that Zuiwan Guhong had no significant or effective long-range attack methods.

So now, the battle has come down to whether both sides can remain calm and collected.

Ji Yi was the first to make a move.

boom!
He stomped on the earth, creating cracks, and Ji Yi shot out like a cannonball.

[Item already used: Second Master's newspaper]

[Effect: Seals a unit, reducing its attribute values ​​by 50%. After the newspaper is destroyed, the target will enter a state of rage, increasing its attribute values ​​by 30%.]

This was a high-quality consumable item that Ji Yi obtained while exploring the Demon Tower. He had kept it without selling or using it. As his level increased, the usefulness of this item would decrease, so he decided to use it now.

And the target of use is oneself!

Suddenly, a newspaper appeared in Ji Yi's hand.

Zui Wan Gu Hong frowned. After dodging Ji Yi's attack, he hesitated for a moment, but still launched a counterattack.

cut!
Bang! A terrifying slash came, and the fragile newspaper, of course, offered no defense and was easily torn apart.

A shocking slash wound also appeared on Ji Yi's body.

This is even with the amplification effects of the [Nonsense Shield] and [Alienation Amplifier], resulting in a physical body strong enough to withstand artillery shells.

boom!
Ji Yi was sent flying far away by the slash.

During the flight, he took out the [Body Tissue Regeneration Ointment] again and applied it to the wounds on his body.

"I only used about half a bottle this time, what a waste."

From the perspective of expenditure and benefit, it is not worth it to try to rank one place higher than Gu Hong.

The performance score might improve significantly, but it may not necessarily break even.

However, Ji Yi didn't want to think about these things for the time being in this battle.

His burning fighting spirit, accompanied by the furious effect of the newspaper tearing apart, made his eyes even more determined and sharp.

war!
"Steal! Steal! Steal!"

Completely disregarding card losses, he was determined to win this battle!
Swish, brush, brush!
This blatant theft, which ignores all conditions, left Zuiwan Guhong with no means of countermeasures or retaliation!
[Stolen Equipment: Xuan Gang Bracers]

[Stolen Equipment: Cloud-Stepping Boots]

[Stolen Equipment: Sword Pendant]

[Steal Equipment: Amulet of the Strong]

[Steal equipment.]

Equip everything you can, and put anything you can't equip into your inventory.

"My luck just wasn't good enough."

They stole so many things, but they didn't disarm the weapons.

However, this also greatly weakened Gu Hong and narrowed the gap between the two sides.

Zuiwan Guhong seemed to have realized the problem as well.

[A single thought knows no distance]

This time, Gu Hong took the initiative to make a move.

He swung his sword, and Ji Yi felt himself locked in by a powerful aura once again, unable to escape.

"Stealing while one's able!"

Make a decision immediately.

[Stolen Equipment: Starfall]

The sword in Gu Hong's hand disappeared, but the next moment, as if he had anticipated this situation, he actually took out a sword from his other hand and slashed at Ji Yi again.

This move was fluid and seamless, a top-notch anticipatory action taken by Zuiwan Guhong based on Ji Yi's fighting style.

In terms of combat intelligence, probably no one does it better than him.

However, Ji Yi has a keen eye for data.

No matter how perfectly the intentions and subtle actions of the drunkard trying to win over the lone goose were concealed, they were still predicted in advance by the eyes of data.

[Skill activated: Boundless Distance]

brush--

Ji Yi vanished instantly, escaping the pursuit of Zui Wan Gu Hong, and then shouted again:

"Stealing while one's able!"

brush--

The third sword of the Drunken Lone Goose was also confiscated.

Ji Yi knew that the other party actually had another legendary item but dared not take it out, for fear of being taken advantage of.

At least until the opponent has the ability to retaliate, its ability to steal things is unparalleled.

Of course, this comes at a price.

In his previous battle against Park Do-dong, he had already lost a lot of cards. In this battle, he lost even more cards, almost to the point of exhaustion.

Zuiwan Guhong didn't take out any more equipment.

He stood still, seemingly waiting for Ji Yi to make the first move.

Without the [Cloud-Stepping Boots], Gu Hong could no longer use his ability to fly through the air, and fearing Ji Yi's ability to steal equipment, he dared not take out any more items.

From this perspective, it seems that "Drunkenly Holding a Lone Goose" has exhausted all his tricks and is simply waiting for defeat.

However, Ji Yi's perspective was completely different.

The [Mouth Replacement Card] on his body spewed out a few more words of nonsense and maxed out his shield.

All the joints in my body started moving back and forth rapidly again.

The stolen equipment is ready to activate its effects at any time.

Even with a legendary weapon in hand and wearing several layers of defensive gear, Ji Yi remained as if facing a formidable enemy, her eyes fixed intently on Zui Wan Gu Hong before her.

Without him.

To defeat Zui Wan Gu Hong, one must confront his final trump card, which is also his strongest killing move.

Seeing this, the lone goose seemed to understand something:
"It seems that from the very beginning, you understood the effects of every piece of my equipment and could even predict my every move. If this could previously be explained by knowledge and experience..."

"But now, you've finally exposed yourself. I guess you should know every piece of equipment I possess and every skill I have, right? Something like an upgraded version of the [Ghost Eye] ability?"

Ji Yi did not respond.

As Gu Hong spoke, he struck a strange pose.

"If that's the case, then let's have the final showdown. There's no room for scheming or trickery, just pure head-on clash."

Ji Yi nodded silently, put away the [Whispers of the End], and instead picked up the [Exorcism - Breaking Evil].

Although legendary weapons have high damage and great power, Ji Yi can't unleash even half of their potential, so it's ultimately better to choose a weapon that suits her better.

Because at this point, his greatest advantage is still only his terrifying speed.

Having assumed his stance, Gu Hong spoke calmly:
"Without self or form, mind and sword become one, my body is the sword."

[Skill activated: Sword of Selflessness - Dragon Abyss of the End]

[Effect: At the cost of all spiritual power, stamina, and health, the user transforms into a sword to unleash a series of devastating sword attacks. These attacks ignore spatial limitations. If the target is successfully killed, the user will revive with 1 health point.]

boom--

The color of heaven and earth changes.

The body of the drunken lone goose vanished, replaced by endless, terrifying sword beams that formed a phantom resembling a majestic dragon.

[Equipment "Exorcism" effect activated: Wild Dance!]

[The "Mystic Bracers" effect has been activated!]

[The "Amulet of the Strong" effect has been activated!]

[The "Kill" effect of the equipment has been activated!]

【already】

Faced with an unavoidable and extremely powerful killing move, the only option is to confront it head-on!

With countless epic-grade perfect equipment pieces, plus the amplification from legendary-grade equipment, they are bound to withstand this attack!
Rumble-

Like thunder.

Standing on the high wall, Aya looked at the distant commotion and light that resembled a thunderstorm, and a sense of unease arose in her heart.

She knew that with the shelter's meager strength, it was impossible to intervene in a battle of this magnitude; she could only watch.

They secretly resolved to make the shelter stronger and stronger.

I do not know how long it has been.

After the earth-shattering storm subsided, she saw a familiar figure halfway down the road through her binoculars.
[Skill activated: Life is not meant to end]

[Effect: When receiving fatal damage, you will not die immediately, but will fall into a near-death state. However, if the damage exceeds the critical point of 200%, you will still die instantly.]

"Hehe, I've finally won over the information gap."

Ji Yi lay on the ground, enduring the pain as she removed the [Alienation Amplifier] from her body.

Then look at the shattered lower body.

It probably won't stick with glue.
