Under the moonlight, the two Wind Demon Horses were chasing each other as fast as smoke.
In the blink of an eye, a night had passed. The "game" of chasing was still not over, but Chen Rui clearly knew that the Wind Demon Horse was reaching its limit.
However, the strategy should be successful. Chen Rui knew that there was still a gap between his strength and Barnacle's, so he used a delaying strategy. This night was a consumption for Barnacle who urged the demonic fire to control and stimulate the Wind Demon Horse; but for Chen Rui who used < Analytical Eyes > to communicate with the Wind Demon Horse, and used potions and astral body to recover, it was recovery.
This could further narrow the gap between the two, and it could also increase the intensity of the battle and the possibility of breaking through the bottleneck. Of course, the final result was not only victory or defeat, but also life and death.
Chen Rui exchanged four bottles of potions and drank them. This time, it was not the recovery potions from before, but the true series of black potions: Great Strength, Strong Spirit, Iron Wall, and Wind Demon. Each of them could increase the basic ability by 60%, and the duration was 20 minutes.
Barnacle saw the enemy in front of him throwing the potion bottles behind him again, and he cursed in his heart. This kind of "bomb" attack was not lethal, but it was a kind of naked humiliation.
Suddenly, the enemy "threw" himself out too!
At this moment, it was as if the galloping Wind Demon Horse slowed down. He saw the enemy's palm was like a knife, swinging toward him with strong inertia. Years of combat experience made Barnacle have an instinctive intuition that the palm was like a real knife. He had always believed in his intuition, so he made the most correct response, teleportation.
However, he was still half a beat too late. The enemy's palm swung across, and the Wind Demon Horse's head suddenly flew up. The power was still half a meter away from the body, yet it was not weakened at all. Barnacle felt a pain in his shoulder. His shoulder armor was split in half, and blood spurted out from the side of his shoulder.
In fact, it was just a blink of an eye. Chen Rui jumped off the Wind Demon Horse, somersaulted in the air, and landed on the ground. Barnacle teleported to a distance, and a bloodstain appeared on his shoulder. Meanwhile, the Wind Demon Horse that Barnacle was riding was already decapitated.
Barnacle ignored the injury on his shoulder. His pupils contracted, and his eyes fell on Chen Rui's slightly glowing palm. He revealed a dignified expression, and the demonic fire burned. He held the scythe horizontally, putting up a defensive stance.
Chen Rui knew that the effectiveness of the black potions was limited, so < Aura Blade > slashed again. Barnacle blocked with his scythe, and < Aura Blade > slashed on the handle of the scythe, making a crisp sound. It was actually unscathed. It seemed that this scythe was not only infused with Barnacle's power, but the material was also very special. Chen Rui's < Aura Blade > could cut open Athena's greatsword, but it couldn't damage this weird scythe.
This time, he learned his lesson and avoided the invisible sword in time. But Barnacle was time. Chen Rui approached and began a fierce attack. Barnacle was surprised to find that his opponent's strength, speed, and other aspects had been significantly enhanced. Sometimes he would launch a strange and sharp palm strike, and sometimes it would be replaced by a surging force. Barnacle's defense couldn't be as relaxed as before, and he faintly felt that his hands and feet were tied.
However, Barnacle not only knew how to defend, but his attack was also quite sharp. Although Chen Rui drank the black potion, Barnacle was the peak of Higher Demon who could already feel the threshold of Demon King. His strength was better than Chen Rui. For a while, Chen Rui suffered a few heavy blows and was seriously injured.
Barnacle teleported to avoid the blow of his < Aura Blade >. As soon as he stood firm, he saw his opponent's five fingers opened and aimed at his position. Just when he felt something was wrong, a ball of light had been shot at him at high speed.
This kind of attack was like two martial arts masters fighting hand-to-hand, and someone suddenly took out a pistol and fired a shot. If one wasn't particularly prepared or reacted in advance, one couldn't avoid this shot and could only take it head-on.
This was the first time Chen Rui used [Aurora Shot] in battle after two hundred days of special training at the surfy sea.
If Paglio was there, he would definitely show a surprised expression because this [Aurora Shot] was one-third smaller than the original, but the destructive power contained in it had increased by more than one-third!
The ball of light had rushed to Barnacle in an instant. Barnacle couldn't avoid it. Feeling the terrifying power of the ball of light close at hand, the flames on his body rose instantly. He held the scythe with both hands and blocked the [Aurora Shot] horizontally!
At the moment when the scythe and the white ball of light touched, Barnacle's body suddenly trembled and his face showed an uncomfortable expression. He felt that the defensive ability that he had always been proud of seemed extremely strenuous in the face of such a terrifying attack. His feet began to move backward involuntarily. Even the magic scythe, which could be called a masterpiece of a mechanic master, showed signs of collapsing.
Barnacle was pushed faster and faster. Even the trees behind him were broken, but he still couldn't stop his retreat. Barnacle clenched his teeth and held on. He knew that he could only hold on. Once his defense collapsed, his body would also collapse!
This enemy who hadn't even reached the peak of Higher Demon actually had such a terrifying talent!
The drag marks of the footprints on the ground continued for more than a hundred meters. Along the way, there were continuous traces of destruction. However, it finally stopped gradually. The dazzling white light also gradually weakened until it disappeared.
This time, it was Chen Rui's turn to shrink his pupils!
Barnacle actually defended against the [Aurora Shot] of the surfy sea cultivator. He didn't just bounce it off, but he completely defended against the power!
Among all the opponents of the same level that Chen Rui had encountered, Barnacle was the first person to completely resist the attack of [Aurora Shot]!
Barnacle looked very embarrassed. His leather armor had been deformed due to the pressure of the close distance. The wound on his shoulder was bleeding again. There were countless lacerations on his hands and body, but his eyes shot out a sharp light.
"I didn't expect to encounter an attack of this level. I have to praise you, Yang. Your actual level should still be a little bit away from the higher stage, but your combat power is definitely not below Paulus or Larks. You might even be stronger! The battle with me just now should have given you a lot of enlightenment. If you can survive today and meditate to understand that feeling, it won't take long for you to be promoted to the higher stage of Higher Demon. "
As Barnacle spoke, he tore off his tattered leather armor. He didn't even look at the bleeding wound on his shoulder. He just carried the scythe and walked over slowly, "Unfortunately, you won't have this chance. Even if your combat power is comparable to Paulus or Larks, so what? Even Paulus and Larks were defeated by me. You have absolutely no chance of winning! "
[Aurora Shot] consumed a considerable part of Chen Rui's Star Power, but he wasn't moved by Barnacle's words. He condensed his Star Power and prepared to launch another attack.
"What you drank earlier should be a white enhancement potion like the Strength Potion, right? So, after a few minutes, you will enter a period of weakness?" Barnacle stopped and held the scythe horizontally. "But, I won't attack you during that period. I will destroy your self-proclaimed strongest state and that overconfident confidence. Now is the time!"
As he spoke, Barnacle's scythe began to spin. Chen Rui only felt that his eyes were slightly blurred. When he focused, Barnacle was already divided into two!
When Barnacle fought with Paulus and Larks previously, Chen Rui secretly peeped at the side. Paulus was killed by this kind of doppelganger skill. This skill was definitely not like Jesse's doppelganger phantom, but a real entity! Both of them!
In the [Analytical Eyes], both Barnacle's display was: Great Demon, Comprehensive Strength: D!
Chen Rui's < Aura Blade > only had about two minutes left, and he only had one < Aurora Shot > left. Plus, he couldn't use it lightly because Barnacle's defense was too strong to deal a fatal blow in a frontal attack. Once his Star Power was exhausted, he would be dead.
Both Barnacles were in flames and attacked at the same time. They didn't hold back at all. Both doppelgangers went all out. As soon as they came into contact, Chen Rui clearly felt tense. His body was stabbed a few times. If he didn't dodge fast enough, he might even be in danger of death.
Each Barnacle was equivalent to about 70% of the strength of the original body, but both of them added up to 140%! For Chen Rui who was originally weaker than Barnacle, the danger was at least doubled. When he thought of something, the ring of "Dark Will" had already appeared on his ring finger.
Just at this moment of distraction, his ribs had been kicked heavily by Barnacle. He could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking. As he staggered back, he was stabbed in the back again.
A Barnacle appeared in front of him in an instant, and the scythe slashed at his throat like lightning. Chen Rui quickly bounced sideways and pulled his body a few meters away. When he just landed, there was a strong sense of crisis in his heart. His muscles had already keenly felt the faint fluctuations coming from behind.
The scene of Barnacle attacking Paoli appeared in Chen Rui's mind. He knew that another doppelganger had teleported to his back to launch a fatal blow.
In this split second, several thoughts turned in his mind. His eyes shone brightly, and he forcibly stopped the desire to launch "Dark Will" – When two sides meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins! Let's bet on this!
Chen Rui twisted his body fiercely. The blade that was originally aimed at his heart pierced into his right chest, but it was shallower than expected. The muscles were deliberately controlled to be very tight, so it didn't penetrate through the body. However, it still caused a serious injury.
Barnacle was a little surprised. As he was about to pull out the scythe, he saw the seriously injured Chen Rui had a strange smile on his face. He quickly grabbed the long handle of the scythe, and the other hand with a faint glow slashed down.
Barnacle's face suddenly changed because Chen Rui's scythe wasn't aimed at him, nor was it aimed at the long handle in the center of the scythe, but the purple skull crystal at the end of the scythe!
At this time, the other Barnacle could no longer use teleportation, and he actually threw the scythe in his hand over. Chen Rui did not hesitate to use [Aura Blade] and slashed with all his might. The skull crystal that was originally considered hard couldn't withstand it. After a clear sound, it was split into two.
Chen Rui cut off the crystal at the end of the scythe that pierced into his body, but the skull crystal at the end of the scythe that flew in the air also broke into two at the same time.
The scythe's momentum was reduced, and the blade was deeply embedded in Chen Rui's left shoulder. If it weren't for the crystal being destroyed, which greatly reduced its power, this scythe could have cut off his left arm.
Screams came at the same time. Not only the two Barnacles, but also the broken skull on the two scythes!
