Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 161 Drunken Shadow Hermit

"Kill me?" The yellow-robed elder, whom Chu Wudi addressed as his master, showed a look of disappointment and shouted, "You unfilial disciple, how can you not understand the situation? Who is your sect leader? How could he possibly have the ability to kill me?"

Chu Wudi said, "He really does have the ability to kill you!"

"Absurd!" The old man in the yellow robe shook his head, but cautiously looked down, and soon his gaze locked onto Lu Chaoding.

Lu Chao had overheard the conversation between the old man in the yellow robe and Chu Wudi. He knew that the old man in the yellow robe must be a special NPC. When he saw the old man looking at him, he couldn't help but feel a chill and thought that it was best to strike first.

He currently has high attack but weak defense, and he positions himself as an "assassin." A powerful NPC could kill him in one hit, so he doesn't dare let the NPC make the first move. In the past, he relied on his range advantage to kill the opponent before they could attack, making sure he could kill them safely.

The old man in the yellow robe was now within a hundred meters of Lu Chaoding, a distance that already posed a risk to Lu Chaoding.

"Arrogant brat! Do you even know who I am?"

The old man in the yellow robe clearly recognized Lu Chaoding and shouted at him, "I am Huang Zuiying, also known as the Drunken Shadow Hermit. I was already famous throughout the twelve states more than two hundred years ago. I have fought countless battles and clashed with countless powerful figures. I have only suffered three defeats: the first was against the Eternal Heavenly Demon Ye Longxing, the second was against the peerless genius Dao Cangkong, and the third was against the Demon Shadow Drowning Heaven Yan Shangjing. Apart from these three, I am invincible. Even the Peach Blossom Sword God, who is known as the number one person in the Three Thousand Mile Sea, is not worth my attention. You are just a minor sect leader of an insignificant sect, of low rank and unknown. How could you possibly be my opponent? It is impossible for you to kill me."

Lu Chao remained expressionless and silent, and immediately took action.

At this moment, his multi-treasure characteristic was partially activated, and he was only equipped with one flying insect sword. The flying insect sword transformed into 1296 flying insects, and each flying insect further divided into 256 sword shadow flying insects. In the Black Blade Tiger Tank form, all the flying insects and sword shadow flying insects transformed into mechanical missiles, which amounted to 333072 missiles.

At this moment, the 333072 mechanical missiles rushed directly towards the old man in the yellow robe.

"This... is a mere trick; I, I am not afraid!"

The old man in the yellow robe was shocked. His flying horse stumbled. He couldn't escape in time and was immediately bombarded!

"-13! Bites!"

"+2000! Bloodmelting Flower!"

"-13! Bites!"

"+2000! Bloodmelting Flower!"

……

"Toughness broken, -51120!"

"+2000! Bloodmelting Flower!"

……

"-568!"

"+2000! Bloodmelting Flower!"

……

"-94308368! Flame Explosion!"

"+2000, Bloodmelting Flower!"

"-282825404! Second blast!"

"+2000, Bloodmelting Flower!"

A bizarre scene unfolded: red damage numbers flashed wildly on the left side of the old man's head, while green healing numbers surged on the right. His health bar increased instead of decreasing, even "stacking," reaching six bars at one point. Even after the last two fire explosions triggered, which cost him nearly four bars of health, he still had more than two bars left, with a remaining health of 200499492, more than 100 million more than before he was attacked!

"Holy crap, this guy has a spirit that heals him when he gets hurt! And I actually healed him?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Chao's eyes widened as he recalled the healing herb in his private cave.

That Healing Grass is a one-star Earthly Deity, whose ability is to restore health to the wearer upon taking any damage.

The combination of the "Outrageous Splitting Light Sword Shadow" and the "Flying Insect Sword" results in explosive damage, but it is not invincible. Lu Chaoding's biggest fear is opponents with damage reflection or attack healing abilities. Unexpectedly, he has finally encountered one today.

The next moment, he and the old man in the yellow robe entered the battle space together!

"Good brat, your attack is so high! But I have a four-star Earthly God Blood Fusion Flower. I am invincible! Hahahaha, brat, you've seen how powerful I am now! You can't hurt me at all. Kneel down now, kowtow and admit your mistake, and maybe I'll spare your life!"

The old man in the yellow robe roared, his excited expression clearly showing the joy of surviving a calamity.

Lu Chaoding was not in a hurry. He transformed the Black Saber-toothed Tiger into a saber-toothed tiger form, and immediately a black-handled broadsword appeared in his hand. He also replaced the Flying Insect Sword with the Super Commoner Sword, increasing his attack power to 16524!

One minute later, the preparation time ended, and Lu Chao said expressionlessly, "Old man, you're celebrating too soon! Today I'll show you my long-unused ultimate technique, the Twelve Hates of the Sword Immortal!"

After he finished speaking, large characters began to appear above Lu Chao's head.

"I deeply regret that Tianquan has not emerged!"

"Secondly, the location of the Earth God is difficult to find!"

"Three regrets..."

Lu Chao brandished his broadsword, making continuous feints at the old man in yellow robes from a distance. Meanwhile, the other Super Commoner Swords and their shadows above him flew towards the old man in yellow robes again and again.

"-39657! Mounted Slash! Repel! Refine!"

"+2000, Bloodmelting Flower!"

"-1652!"

"+2000, Bloodmelting Flower!"

……

"-9812923, Flame Explosion!"

"+2000, Bloodmelting Flower!"

"-29439069, secondary explosion!"

"+2000, Bloodmelting Flower!"

After the nine sword strikes were completed, Lu Chaoding's total damage exceeded 5887 million, while the old man in the yellow robe recovered 2355 million health. Lu Chaoding's actual damage was 35327838. The old man in the yellow robe's health bar decreased by one bar, leaving him with 165171654 health points.

During these nine attacks, Lu Chaoding recovered a total of 524 points of fighting spirit and 580 points of resilience through the extraordinary characteristics of the [Great Absurd Splitting Light and Shadow Sword]!

In addition, the old man in the yellow robe was repelled 9 times, with a repelling distance of 270%!

"this……"

The old man in the yellow robe turned pale, seemingly both frightened and furious. He trembled all over and gritted his teeth, saying, "Child's play! Even if I stand still and let you hit me, what can you do? You are no match for me. Kneel down now, kowtow to me and admit your mistake, and I might spare your life!"

"Drunken Shadow Hermit, is that it? You really aren't afraid of death? Then continue!"

Lu Chao smiled and said it was his turn to take over.

Looking at his 500-plus points of battle spirit, Lu Chao felt excited and continued to unleash the [Sword Immortal Twelve Hatreds], taking away another 3532 million of the old man's health.

"A mere trick, it can't harm me in the slightest. Young man, considering how hard you've worked to cultivate, apologize to me and I'll let you off the hook, okay?"

"not good!"

"You brat, you have no martial ethics! I've let you strike me so many times, do you dare let me strike you even once?"

"Sorry, this fight is entirely my turn. You'll just have to take the hits!"

Lu Chao laughed heartily and entered the third round, once again unleashing the [Twelve Hates of the Sword Immortal], reducing the old man in the yellow robe's health to below one hundred million.

Then, in the fourth round, just as Lu Chaoding was about to unleash the Twelve Hates of the Sword Immortal again, the old man in the yellow robe who called himself "Drunken Shadow Hermit" suddenly knelt down on one knee. He cupped his hands to Lu Chaoding and said, "Sect Leader, your martial arts are excellent. Although you are still no match for me, you are still considered a master among masters in the world. My disciple did not misjudge you! He earnestly invited me to join a reliable sword sect. His sincerity is overflowing, and I could not refuse his kind invitation. Well then, I will reluctantly agree!"

Lu Chao was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"

Huang Zuiying hurriedly kowtowed and said, "For the sake of my disciple, I will join the Reliable Sword Sect! Sect Leader, let's stop fighting amongst ourselves and unite against external threats, shall we?"
