Chapter 996The dark energy surged toward Tang Shaoyang and entered his body through his mouth and nose. Dark Energy was a lethal poison for humans; it would rot the organs from inside slowly. In fact, it was one of the torture methods for Antorias. The moment the dark energy entered Tang Shaoyang's body, Antorias smiled triumphantly. The God of Undead thought he had won the fight already, as it was just a matter of time before Tang Shaoyang died.
Tang Shaoyang's lips curved into a smile, "It seems Yu Shun does not really know much about me. Unfortunately, your dark energy can't harm me. You are quite ignorant of God." Then he sent another punch with his left hand.
Antorias could not react in time for the second punch as he focused on moving the dark energy into Tang Shaoyang's body. The punch hit the belly, but Tang Shaoyang felt the punch did not hit the belly directly. He felt something separate the punch and the belly.
Fwoosh!
Despite the unknown sensation, Antorias was sent flying backward by force. It was just a brute punch, but it was not something the current Yu Shun could bear. The body broke the door and the wall, flying out of the main base.
Tang Shaoyang immediately chased after the flying Yu Shun out of the main base. He caught up to Yu Shun's body in no time in the air. His hand reached Yu Shun's neck and sent another punch to the belly. This time, he noticed what blocked his fist. The moment the punch was about to hit Yu Shun, the dark energy converged and blocked his punch. The dark energy detected the incoming threat and blocked the punch. It was as if the dark energy was alive.
"You have quite a useful defensive skill, huh?" Tang Shaoyang clicked his tongue, "Tched. I don't want to hurt the body, but I don't think I can capture him with just brute force."
An idea popped out in his head, the [Thousand Blast] skill. Tang Shaoyang repeatedly used the skill with a weapon, but what if he used the skill with a bare fist? He did not know if it would work or not, so he tried to use it. On top of that, he thought of the modification. Instead of Thousand Blast, he just wanted to send one blast punch. He was not going to risk destroying Yu Shun's body with the [Thousand Blast].
Tang Shaoyang had used the skill many times. He knew how the skill worked as he could sense how his mana moved when he activated the skill. With an additional [Mana Manipulation] skill, it was much easier to replicate one blast from the [Thousand Blast] skill.
Best
He focused his concentration on his right hand as mana gathered in his fist. When he felt the sensation, he delivered his fist toward Antorias' stomach. The mana swirled around his fist and hit the dark energy barrier.
Boom!
Yu Shun's body fell down like a rocket, creating a shock wave in the air. The second boom resounded as Yu Shun's body crashed into the ground. He successfully replicated the [Thousand Blast], but just one blast with his fist.
Tang Shaoyang was happy with his success, but he did not have time to celebrate. It was a huge feat to replicate the skill and alter the skill to his needs. He was about to follow the track, but then he heard a notification in his head. A notification that he never expected.
[You have successfully learned a new skill, [Impetus Strike]]
The notification told him that he had learned a new skill, meaning he did not create the skill as the skill existed in the system's skill list. He just found another way to learn a skill, not through class or talent. There were a lot of things he could try, but he threw the thoughts onto the back of his head.
Tang Shaoyang chased after Antorias, landing in the crater. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, the dust was swept by the wind, revealing a figure in the crater. Antorias stood up as red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. The God of Undead looked like he was in disbelief, looking at Tang Shaoyang from top to bottom.
"You looked surprised? I thought you were strong enough to kill me?" Tang Shaoyang mocked Antorias.
"If I am in my original body. I already killed you a thousand times!" Antorias' pride was hurt when the mortal mocked him. Someone that was far below him in rank. It was an utter huge humiliation for The God of Undead.
"Why are you so proud of that? How long have you been living? A thousand years, ten thousand years, or maybe a million years? I just experienced this stupid game about a year," Tang Shaoyang's red eyes turned sharp, "Just wait! I will find you and make you regret messing up my brother and my people."
"Bahahahaha…." Antorias let out a loud laugh as he found it ridiculous that the human in front of him threatened him, The God of Undead, the God who occupied several worlds, "You are just a lord of a small empire. Even if you have a million years, it will not be enough to kill me and my force. You are just an ant in this vast universe. But don't worry, there's no need for you to find me because I will find you and turn you and your people into my Undead armies."
"Also, I will not let you take my precious apostle, kuhuhu…." Antorias laughed as dark energy converged behind him. Tang Shaoyang thought Antorias would start to fight back, but he was wrong. The dark energy was forming a portal, "My plan failed because I underestimated you. I will make sure to destroy everything you have in our next meeting."
Antorias stepped back, and his right hand entered the portal. At that moment, Tang Shaoyang realized he had messed up and let the enemy escape. He did not know where the portal would go, meaning he would lose Yu Shun for sure if he let Antorias enter the portal.
His mind raced, thinking of a way to prevent Antorias from escaping. He could not think of any way, but his instinct kicked in the Slayer Energy. He did not know, but his guts told him to cut the portal with his Slayer Energy.
Tang Shaoyang formed Slayer Blade, and the blade moved toward the portal in the blink of an eye. He did not know if it would work or not, but he tried. The Slayer Blade slashed the portal in half, and to his surprise, it worked. The Slayer Blade cut through and canceled the portal.
Of course, it was not without a price. Yu Shun's right hand was also cut along with the portal. The remaining of Yu Shun's right hand disappeared along with the portal. At the same time, Antorias was also shocked that the portal was cut in half.
The God of Undead fell on his butt as he stared at the empty space where the portal was. Tang Shaoyang took the chance to close the distance between him and Antorias. He would not give Antorias another chance to escape. He caught Antorias by the neck and pinned the man down on the ground, making sure Antorias would not be able to move.
"You have Slayer Energy?" Antorias had a disbelieving look on his face as his eyes opened wide. What shocked him the most was that he discovered Slayer Energy in Tang Shaoyang.
