Chapter 21 – Coronary heart Linking Method

There have been two ghosts who had vanished and couldn’t be situated. Utilizing the 5 Phases Swordplay, Dugu Zhuo solidified a wind sword in midair, which he stepped onto, surveying the courtyard from above.

The fabric protecting the sky must be the treasure of ghostkind, Sunshade, able to quickly blocking out daylight and permitting ghosts to be at full energy through the day. After ghosts solidified a type, it might not have any use for them.

Identical to human cultivators had the phases of Qi Refining, Basis Institution, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, and so forth, ghost cultivators had been cut up into the phases of Soul Gathering, Soul Condensing, Soul Solidification, Physique Solidification, Ghost Common, and so forth. Physique Solidification was equal to Nascent Soul stage in a human, and earlier than a ghost reached that, the Sunshade was an extremely highly effective artifact.

Who knew the place these gamers had gotten one thing so spectacular. Even Ye Zhou’s sword couldn’t cleave by it.

Happily, in an effort to keep the Sunshade, one ghost needed to regularly provide spirit stones, principally equal to how that they had Black Cat sustaining the Misdirection Array. Black Cat was additionally equally hidden, lurking on the shadowy roof eaves.

Everybody within the get together knew the Misdirection Array, although, so even when Black Cat was discovered, any of the remaining 4 might take over sustaining it. Nevertheless, the opposite staff had solely two ghosts. As an alternative of combating the jiangshi and demons head-on, they could as effectively spend their efforts on coping with the ghosts. If the Sunshade’s impact wore off, the veiled staff would haven’t any fight means underneath the sunshine of midday.

Dugu Zhuo didn’t know, nevertheless, whether or not the artifact and battle ways he was aware of could be the identical on this world.

Simply then, he heard Ye Zhou communicate within the get together chat. “The factor blocking the sunshine is Sunshade, a power-up merchandise for ghosts from the PC model. It might solely be utilized by ghosts, so we simply must eliminate the 2 ghost gamers. I simply don’t know whether or not this requirement has been modified within the VR recreation.”

It appeared like they had been the identical. Ye Zhou’s phrases banished Dugu Zhuo’s doubts.

“It’s price making an attempt,” Dugu Zhuo stated. “Everybody else, hold the three different gamers busy, I’ll cope with the ghosts.”

“Black Cat, switch the array’s management to me,” he ordered.

“You retain calling me Black Cat. Can’t you name me Jet?” Black Cat swished his tail backwards and forwards in dissatisfaction, however transferred the management of the array over to his get together member.

The opposite individual needed to be a celebration member and know the array for the switch to achieve success. Nevertheless, Black Cat presently held all of the spirit stones, so as soon as Dugu Zhuo expended an excessive amount of of the non secular power, he must switch it again to Black Cat.

Circulating his non secular power, Dugu Zhuo modified the array’s phantasm from white mist right into a forest of peach timber.

He then transferred the array again to Black Cat and ordered, “Add spirit stones.”

“No means! You expended half the non secular power without delay?” All 99 spirit stones held lower than half of their unique non secular power, with over a dozen already at 5%. Black Cat shortly changed eighteen of the stones, leaving him with solely nineteen.

“I can solely keep it for 2 extra minutes!” Black Cat cried. “After two minutes, we’ll lose the flexibility to cover and be defenseless going through the opponents’ power-up!”

“It’s sufficient,” Dugu Zhuo stated.

Inside the forest, Ye Zhou, Aotian, and Qingyue employed guerrilla ways in opposition to their opponents underneath the duvet of the array. They had been all low-level and didn’t have a lot fight energy, purely counting on maneuvering, stamina, and endurance. The group of three slunk by the forest, retreating after each assault, incessantly carrying down the opponents’ stamina and well being.

In the meantime, the demons and jiangshi tanked their assaults with their excessive defenses and well being.

Ye Zhou struck a essential hit along with his sword, which doubled his attacking energy and took out 60% of the jiangshi’s well being without delay.

One in all their enemies was near falling. But the subsequent time Qingyue swung her whip, the jiangshi grabbed it, pulling Qingyue over.

Aotian introduced out his fan, about to chop by Qingyue’s whip, when the jiangshi plucked out his two canine tooth and threw them at Qingyue’s neck. Two holes appeared on Qingyue’s neck, dropping her HP by 60%, whereas the jiangshi was absolutely healed.

Aotian’s fan lastly arrived, slicing by the whip, and Qingyue hid throughout the array once more.

As she left the vary of the bloodsucking assault, these two tooth returned to the jiangshi’s mouth.

“Come on! Didn’t you inform me that within the PC recreation, jiangshi needed to seize one other participant’s neck in an effort to suck their blood and heal themselves?” Qingyue yelled at Aotian, holding her neck. “How come now they’ll throw their tooth? If I’d recognized, I might’ve let go earlier!”

It wasn’t that she hadn’t been capable of escape, since she might’ve merely deserted her weapon. She nonetheless had a jade hairpin for close-ranged assaults, so she had been planning to stab the jiangshi with it as soon as he pulled her shut, in an effort to strike the ultimate blow in opposition to this opponent.

Who knew about this variation {that a} jiangshi might now throw tooth, turning their bloodsucking assault’s vary from ten centimeters to 2 meters!

“I suppose in a VR recreation, this sort of scene of grabbing somebody’s neck and sucking their blood received’t go the censors,” Aotian stated awkwardly.

Happily, he had introduced plenty of therapeutic drugs. Qingyue swallowed three or 4 without delay, bringing her well being to above 70%.

She had simply gotten up when the jiangshi pointed at them. “Over there!”

The 2 demons charged in direction of Qingyue, every hurling a ball of demonic hearth. Upon hitting Qingyue, the darkish inexperienced flames took her HP all the way down to 10%.

Qingyue touched the holes on her neck and instantly realized that the jiangshi had discovered her utilizing the yin power remaining in her wounds. “Stay away from me,” she referred to as out.

She was about to be overwhelmed, and nobody within the get together might revive, so she might solely wait to die.

Ye Zhou wished to again her up, however all of the sudden his whole physique felt chilly, and he discovered himself unable to manage his actions, swinging his sword towards Aotian.

Possession! This was the ghost race’s innate means, to enter a participant’s physique and take management of an enemy.

Among the many completely different races in 9 Heavens, people had essentially the most common stats with none explicit robust level, so that they had been the weakest race in the beginning. Ghosts, yao, demons, and spirits every had their very own innate skills, however people didn’t get something particular.

Ye Zhou’s strike hit Aotian. Ye Zhou’s sword was overwhelmingly highly effective, and even with no essential hit, it took out 50% of Aotian’s HP. Along with the earlier assaults of the demons, Aotian’s well being was now at a essential state.

“You’re nonetheless not prepared?” Black Cat yelled, as he always replenished spirit stones. “I’m down to 5 stones!”

Dugu Zhuo, who had been standing in midair and looking for the 2 ghosts all this time, fashioned two completely different hand seals in his arms, manifesting a wind sword and wooden sword.

Within the Eight Trigrams, Xun was wind, related to wooden within the 5 phases. Other than steel, wooden, water, hearth, and earth, the 5 Phases Swordplay might additionally manifest 5 by-product attributes. Dugu Zhuo couldn’t concurrently use swords of two completely different attributes, however he might use two completely different variations of the identical attribute.

The wind sword swept chaotically by the peach forest, stirring up a flurry of peach blossom petals, which lastly revealed the define of an individual on the door of the tofu workshop.

Peach timber protected in opposition to evil spirits, so although a ghost might go by strong objects, they wouldn’t have the ability to part by peach blossoms.

“Discovered one.” The second the ghost was seen, Dugu Zhuo struck with the wooden sword. The numerous peach blossoms reworked into blades, immediately eliminating the ghost in a thousand slashes.

With the demise of Ghost One, the Sunshade was about to fall. Ghost Two cried, “Oh no!” and instantly stopped possessing Ye Zhou, about to take over the Sunshade.

This was precisely the possibility Dugu Zhuo had been ready for. Wind blades and flower petals danced round Ye Zhou, and the second the ghost left his physique, the flower petals swallowed him and punched him stuffed with holes.

The Sunshade now fell, leaving the sunshine of midday to light up the remaining three.

The jiangshi cried out in ache and shielded his eyes. Qingyue, with solely a sliver of her well being remaining, introduced out her hairpin and stabbed him within the brow. He turned to ashes underneath the solar’s rays.

In the meantime, Ye Zhou and Aotian additionally took benefit of the sunshine and took out the 2 demons in a couple of assaults.

Now that the veiled staff had been totally eradicated, the Sunshade vanished, and on the similar time Black Cat misplaced the flexibility to keep up the Misdirection Array. It disappeared, returning the courtyard to regular.

“Don’t they go away corpses?” Qingyue rubbed her neck, discovering that the injuries on it had vanished underneath the daylight.

“I guessed they returned to their spawn level,” Aotian stated. “We spawn in Zhulong City, so we go away corpses right here. Ghosts and demons spawn within the Netherworld, so their corpses would return to the Netherworld and they might revive there.”

“I by no means imagined they might have an merchandise as highly effective because the Sunshade,” Ye Zhou stated. “This was a harmful struggle. Each member of our staff makes a speciality of offense. We’re lacking therapeutic, protection, and help.”

The opposite staff had lined all of the positions effectively, aside from therapeutic.

“It’ll be higher once we can be part of sects,” Aotian stated. “On the early phases, this was a fairly good final result. None of us had any strategies, simply regular assaults.”

“Talking of strategies, did you discover a treasure trove?” Black Cat stated to Dugu Zhuo. “How come you will have the Misdirection Array and in addition that unusual approach again then?”

“Proper!” Aotian stated in sudden realization. “The primary time we met Dugu, he used this method to eradicate a dozen monsters in a single strike. I used to be so scared I assumed he was a boss. You’re barely over degree 10 similar to us, so how come you’re so badass?”

After forcibly having used a twin sword type, Dugu Zhuo had not solely expended his non secular essence however wreaked havoc on his dantian. His sword qi had run out of his management and was inflicting harm all through his physique, injuring his inner organs.

Ye Zhou knew about Dugu Zhuo’s id as a mythic and the unusual properties of his blood, so didn’t suspect him. He seen that Dugu Zhuo appeared deathly pale and hurriedly opened his stats through the blood bond. He was instantly shocked. “How did your well being get so low? You’re at 10%… no, 9… 8… it’s nonetheless happening? How come? You’ve already used the approach!”

Ye Zhou supported Dugu Zhuo’s physique, grabbing therapeutic drugs from his bag and stuffing seven or eight sorts into Dugu Zhuo’s mouth. He gave him one every kind of therapeutic drugs he had collected, elevating his well being to 60%, nevertheless it shortly fell again to 10%.

“Isn’t the price of your approach means too harsh?” Ye Zhou stated anxiously.

Seeing his concern, Dugu Zhuo raised a hand and lined Ye Zhou’s eyes. “It’s high quality,” he stated quietly. “Merely an inner harm.”

“How will we deal with it?” stated Ye Zhou. “You’re shedding well being once more.”

Dugu Zhuo’s physique appeared to have an HP drain, with all of Ye Zhou’s medicines having no impact.

At this second, Ye Zhou all of the sudden heard a system notification. “Ding! Dugu Zhuo has been critically injured and can’t be cured. Finally, he’ll lose all his well being and die. Would you want to make use of your blood bond’s Coronary heart Linking Method in an effort to heal Dugu Zhuo? Sure/No”

“What’s the Coronary heart Linking Method?” Ye Zhou requested. “What’ll occur if he retains shedding well being?”

“He’ll utterly vanish from his recreation.” Ye Zhou hadn’t seen that the system was not speaking to him through dialogue packing containers, however was talking immediately into his thoughts like a dialog.

“You’ll lock his account?” Ye Zhou stated. “You may’t! He has a mythic account. Use the approach!”

Ye Zhou tapped the settle for button, and immediately, he felt like all of his inner organs had been being sliced by blades.

Rattling, he’d forgotten that he had raised his ache sensitivity to 50% right now. It critically harm! A chilly sweat broke out on his brow.

Dugu Zhuo was now not shedding well being, his pallor regularly bettering.

Why did it harm a lot? Ye Zhou didn’t need anybody to know that he had raised the ache sensitivity. He put down Dugu Zhuo and stated along with his again to everybody, “It’s nearly 12, so I’ve to log out. I’m going to eat lunch, then I’ll be again at 3.”

With these phrases, Ye Zhou hit the sign off button and vanished.
