Chapter 670 - 667: Pure Water Stake

Bai Pu pierced Napo Gang with a spear.

However, his expression changed.

Bai Pu, who had experienced countless battles, was very familiar with the sensation of a blade entering the body.

The recent thrust felt like stabbing into the air, lacking the sense of hitting a solid entity.

With a pop, "Napo Gang’s" body dissipated into nothingness like a bubble.

Napo Gang’s true body appeared twenty to thirty meters behind Bai Pu. With a cold expression, he raised his hand, and a nearly transparent liquid spike pointed at Bai Pu, sending out a thought sensation fluctuation:

"Pure Water Stake!"

Bai Pu’s recent thrust missed, and there was no time to use his body technique to dodge, resulting in a strike from a distance.

The liquid spike, upon touching the surface of Bai Pu’s body, shattered with a crash into countless water droplets, flowing along the gaps in Bai Pu’s armor.

It looked like a mischievous child spraying with a toy water gun.

But Bai Pu’s golden armor became mottled and cracked, as if it had been soaked in water for a decade or more, with some parts already dissolved.

From a data perspective, the durability of the golden armor plummeted instantly, drastically reducing the protection it offered!

"Pure Water Stake... seems like a top-grade mystical art: Dissolving related skill, only Prince Napo Gang’s dissolving mystical art has surpassed the master level, reaching the true intent prototype level, with extremely outstanding effects."

Bai Pu’s skin touched the scattered droplets of the [Pure Water Stake], experiencing a burning pain, and the skin felt as if it was being dissolved. This was despite his Heart of Evolution talent switching to mitigate water and ice element damage and effects.

Bai Pu flashed forward with Gang Step, arriving in front of Prince Napo Gang, sweeping with his long spear.

Pop, the sound of a bubble bursting appeared again, and Prince Napo Gang’s form dissipated like a bubble.\p>

The true body simultaneously appeared twenty meters behind Bai Pu, and another Pure Water Stake struck Bai Pu.

"My perception...was deceived."

Bai Pu could clearly sense that the moment the long spear swept out, the target was indeed Prince Napo Gang’s true body.

Yet, at the moment the spear touched Prince Napo Gang, he employed a technique similar to "Position Shifting", exchanging places with a certain bubble.

This ability reminded Bai Pu of the Dragon King.

The Dragon King’s mystical arts system [Illusory Thunder Shadow] has a move called Illusory Thunder Clone, capable of instantly exchanging places with the main body.

However, every clone position of the Dragon King’s Illusory Thunder Clone is fixed, making it relatively easier to predict the main body’s location after exchanging positions.

Prince Napo Gang’s Position Shifting only requires exchanging places with a bubble, and by this point, the battlefield is already teeming with dozens, hundreds of bubbles, with new bubbles continuously rising!

How is one to deduce the location of his true body release point?

Swoosh, the third Pure Water Stake struck Bai Pu’s golden armor.

With a crackling explosion, the golden armor shattered completely.

This piece of golden equipment, which had accompanied Bai Pu for a long time, was thoroughly destroyed.

In fact, Huaxia’s senior officials had opened up the equipment warehouse, allowing Bai Pu to select gear and replace the mid-to-low-end equipment on him.

However, the number of dark gold equipment Bai Pu could wear was nearing its limit.

Based on professional energy strength, every Awakened can equip a limited number of dark gold equipment, most can only possess one, while Hero Professions can wear two to three pieces.

King-level purple weapon, golden named relic equipment, and dark gold equipment all have upper limits.

At this time, Bai Pu possessed Sufferer’s Shoulder Armor, The Demon Spider Empress’s Warning, Sand of Thought, totaling three pieces of dark gold equipment, plus the King-level purple weapon [Doomsday].

Although Bai Pu’s energy strength was remarkable, he could not accommodate more dark gold or higher quality equipment.

To switch out, he could only replace with some golden equipment, along with putting in effort to strengthen them, but Bai Pu simply chose not to replace them.

The shattered armor revealed Bai Pu’s tall and robust physique.

Skin tainted by pure water faintly displayed dark red marks, resembling scars — an indication of partially dissolved skin under the influence of the dissolving mystical art, becoming thinner.

In terms of the data layer, this manifested as a decrease in the "natural armor" accompanying Bai Pu’s constitution.

Prince Napo Gang’s form appeared not far away.

"What a strong body, it’s like a wild beast."

Prince Napo Gang praised, "After taking three hits from my Pure Water Stake, you’re still standing strong... Your resilience is far superior to Gaton’s."

Poor Prince Gaton was once again brought up to be dissed, but what Napo Gang said was true, Prince Gaton’s Hundred Weapons Dao Body was suited for combatting physical output, incapable of deflecting magic attacks, certainly not as resilient as Bai Pu.

Bai Pu’s Gang Steps flashed repeatedly, dodging Water Arrows from the Waterman Monsters while also pursuing Prince Napo Gang.

Bai Pu no longer struck rashly, approaching and only probing with feints.

But Prince Napo Gang was able to maintain composure, sensing that Bai Pu’s attacks lacked real power, he didn’t evade, the layer of Pure Water Shield on his surface was enough to take Bai Pu’s probing attacks.

The group of azure water beings below were no pushovers, continuously releasing a barrage towards Bai Pu.

Bai Pu finally understood the Dragon King’s past struggle, fighting amidst a barrage from a group of archers, it wasn’t easy, he had to continuously step with Gang Step, changing positions to evade incoming Water Arrows.

When unable to dodge, he reduced damage using the Gang Wind Body Protection skill.

Bai Pu was somewhat trapped into a dead end.

Probing with feints yielded no results against the opponent, while continuously being focused upon.

Charging real attacks resulted in Prince Napo Gang employing Position Shifting to escape, capitalizing on Bai Pu tiring as he launched a [Pure Water Stake].

"Looks like you’ve exhausted your tactics. Considering abandoning your companions and running away?" Prince Napo Gang laughed. He was internally anxious, worried that Bai Pu might truly be ruthless, ditching Wushan Divine Lady and Blood Spider, the two hostages, to escape the Demon Fighting World.

"Napo Gang, the outcome is still uncertain."

A vortex of sand appeared in Bai Pu’s palm.

He covered himself in Magic Sand, forming the Armor of Sand! To shield against the [Pure Water Stake] attacks.

The earth element’s restraint on the water element was quite obvious, with Pure Water Stake hitting Bai Pu’s Armor of Sand, its power was diminished, not dissolving Bai Pu’s skin.

This turned it into a battle of attrition.

Bai Pu knew well in his heart that every time Prince Napo Gang used Position Shifting or water element magic, there was inevitably a cost involved. Sustaining that group of Waterman Monsters’ existence probably consumed no small amount.

Prince Napo Gang, a great magic practitioner, understood even more that Bai Pu’s Magic Sand was refined from magic power, surely having an upper limit. Once the magic power of Magic Sand was depleted, Napo Gang could regain the upper hand.

However, the longer it dragged on, the greater the uncertainties.

Prince Napo Gang did not wish to prolong the fight, he had to intensify the pressure, forcing Bai Pu to make mistakes.

Casually, he said, "Gangxin, your strength isn’t bad. I’m willing to keep playing with you, but your two companions may not hold out much longer."
