Chapter 210: Heated Fight

Surprised, Yellow Butterfly quickly dodged out of the way, but the flames had anticipated her reaction and chased after her. She dared not slow down. As soon as the flames licked at her, she jumped backward onto the water tank, out of the range of attack of Gao Yang’s fire.

Gao Yang didn’t blindly go after her. Instead, he picked up the Rune Circuit on the floor and put it back into his pocket.

“You didn’t honor your word.” Yellow Butterfly scoffed, but there was little surprise on her face.

Gao Yang retorted, “Why would I when dealing with someone who just ambushed her companions?”

Gray Bear’s and Black Sparrow’s death must not be in vain. He would avenge them here and now!

Without wasting any more breath, Yellow Butterfly made a powerful leap from the water tank, rushing straight at Gao Yang with the dagger in her hand aimed at his throat, her movement viciously efficient.

Clang!

Gao Yang quickly drew a shortsword and parried the blade Yellow Butterfly wielded midair. Making use of the counterforce, Yellow Butterfly made a leap over Gao Yang’s head and, while landing behind him, she swung the dagger at his back.

Halfway through the swing, her gaze darkened. Despite facing away from her, Gao Yang had sneakily tucked a hand under his armpit.

“Fire!”

Another blazing torrent swept over Yellow Butterfly.

“Ah!”

With a scream, she fell to the floor.

“Fire!”

Gao Yang didn’t give her a chance to react. His other palm joined in and shot level 3 Fire at full force. The two blazing streams converged to mercilessly burn the woman at his feet.

Two second, three second...

Gao Yang was confident that if he managed to burn her for more than five seconds, there would be no escaping for her. Only someone without a sense of pain would be able to maintain rationality and the ability to think under such terrible torture.

Swoosh!

Three deep violet bone stings broke out of the fire, thrusting straight at Gao Yang’s head.

Shocked, Gao Yang stepped out of the way, his fire dispersing.

One bone sting managed to leave a gash on his left cheek. Gao Yang felt a stabbing pain. He was bleeding.

The burning left a charred patch on the floor where Yellow Butterfly had been. Her frayed hair ran messily down her shoulders, and her clothes had almost been completely burned, leaving only precious few pieces of cloth covering parts of her body, which was littered with burns of different degrees.

Gao Yang hid his surprise. For any regular creature, the fire would’ve melted the skin, yet she only looked burned.

Stranger still, the three four-meter violet bone stings were her three fingers; or extensions of her three fingers, to be more precise.

Swoosh!

Unable to dodge the last, it hit him in the left shoulder.

“Ah!”

The concrete wall was right behind Gao Yang, and the bone sting pinned him to it. The other four bone stings burrowed into the wall as well, while one was still held in Gao Yang’s grasp.

Yellow Butterfly dashed at Gao Yang, perfectly coordinating the speed at which she retracted the bone stings and her advance. It almost felt like she was sucked in by the six bone stings.

Two seconds later, she was only half a meter away from Gao Yang.

As she continued to exert her power, the bone sting Gao Yang had grabbed onto with his right hand inched toward his chest.

Despite the violet scales covering her face, Gao Yang could still make out her beautiful facial features. Her deep violet eyes were crystal clear, and they were captivating under the moonlight.

“You’re not my match, Seven Shadow.” Yellow Butterfly had clearly lost some control over her emotions after transforming into a monster. Gone was the calm and composed look on her face. She looked bloodthirsty and murderous.

“You’re right...that I’m not your match...now.”

Gao Yang tightened his grip around the bone sting almost stabbing into his heart, his lips tugged into a smile. “But the next second...things will change.”

[You have accumulated 854 Luck points.]

During the fight with Niu Xuan, Gao Yang had accumulated at most a few dozen points. However, since entering the Rune Cave, the two hours spent fighting rune corpses had earned him close to 800 Luck points—all because the acquisition bonus considered only the level of danger and how long it lasted, and no other factors.

With Gao Yang rendered a regular human without Talent, the bonus dependent on the level of danger had stayed around 500 to 3000 times as he faced the rune corpses, as well as Li Zhuanghu and Xiang Xiaoqin as their respective Rune Circuit manipulated them.

That was the perfect embodiment of high risk, high reward.

—Max out my Strength, Agility, and Willpower! Put the rest of the points into Constitution and Endurance until the end of the fight!

[Understood.]

[Constitution: 344 Endurance: 344]

[Strength: 500 Agility: 500]

[Willpower: 500 Charisma: 97]

[Luck: 454]

Gao Yang had never increased his stats by this much at once. The change to his body even brought about a physical phenomenon.

Swoosh!

As soon as Gao Yang made the instruction to his system, a strong current burst out around him like the air was resonating with the energy quickly awakening inside his body.

The powerful gust messed up Yellow Butterfly’s hair and even forced her to close her eyes.

Shock and confusion flashed through her mind. What had happened to Gao Yang?

Crack.

With a cold, assured smile, Gao Yang shattered the bone sting in his grasp.
