Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1695: Chapter 1690: Prison and Peril

A hundredfold critical hit versus a hundred percent burst rate, which is stronger? This is a classic question.

Unexpectedly, today seems to offer a perfect opportunity to validate this in the three-dimensional world.

Fu Qian believes that, as a solid Second Phase, sensing the implications of the curse on him shouldn’t be difficult.

Although the opponent shows no reaction to this, the swirling vortex on his wings continues to lock onto him without hesitation, preparing for the second round of attack.

Such determination.

While pondering this, Fu Qian did exactly the same thing, showing no reaction to the opponent’s response and maintaining his lock.

Without any hint of retreat, the swelling in his left arm continues, as if the flesh from other parts of his body is being drawn in, causing the distortion index to rise infinitely.

For a master, the change remarkably reveals many aspects of his abilities.

However, as a strategist stepping decisively into the crisis, he clearly doesn’t mind revealing a small part of himself.

”Your ’Instant Thousand Strikes’ is indeed skillful, but I have a modest understanding of countering arts. Please appreciate this Physical Dark Dragon Wave.”

As Yuan Shan and the other watched silently, Fu Qian concentrated all his flesh, and his left arm, swollen to the limit, exploded. Hundreds and thousands of black-red tentacles twisted into a torrent, rushing towards the seemingly pure angel.

Although at the same time, part of the vortex on the Prison Angel Commander’s wings had already condensed...

Although Yuan Shan’s precedent proved that even a little damage under the opponent’s attacks could be magnified swiftly by a special Time Cage...

For Fu Qian, this effect could be even more severe, due to the uncertainty of whether the SAN Points loss from the attacks would be magnified as well...

But he still did it, speaking no more words, directly unleashing this fully destructive strike.

[SAN Points -10]

At the same time, he initiated Pseudo-Divine Being.

Yet this infinitely ferocious strike was ultimately engulfed only by emptiness, leaving Miss Wen’s exquisite furniture behind.

The fearless and taciturn Lord Angel hid at the peak of tension, forfeiting the clash.

...

Hmph—

As the saying goes, when heroes meet on a narrow path, the brave shall win.

Though the Super Physical Dark Dragon Wave failed to succeed, it fully unleashed momentum.

The tentacles slowly retracted at a much slower pace than when blasted out. Fu Qian, full of vigor, hummed and then turned to Wen Li, expressing apology.

”Sorry for wrecking your furniture.”

”No problem...”

Recently, Wen Li has been integrating quickly into the Supernatural Realm, becoming familiar with Fu Qian’s shocking tactics, but the visual impact of the Physical Dark Dragon Wave was indeed excessive.

Observing closely, even she couldn’t help but be a bit stunned.

This wasn’t bad since, as you can see, Chief Yuan, who should be much more knowledgeable and stood in front of her, was equally wide-eyed.

Perhaps affected by the darkness, but with a speechless expression, unable to decide on a comment.

Obviously more than Fu Qian’s combat style resembling his true form, what shocked her most was this combat strategy.

With lessons from the past, this guy still chose the clash?

Despite the grandiose appearance, the bizarre attack essentially didn’t surpass the realm of a demigod. This guy still concealed his true ranking.

The most astonishing thing was that the entity actually retreated...

How was this achieved?

”How many times?”

As if sensing her enthusiasm, Fu Qian turned his head suddenly and asked.

...

”Nine times.”

Momentarily stunned, Yuan Shan seemed to realize what Fu Qian was asking.

After instinctively answering, her eyes suddenly brightened.

”In our line of work, there’s a saying that one can only win a half chance against heaven by entering the game personally.”

”This angel may speak less, yet turns out to be a colleague.”

Not allowing her time to express her thoughts, Fu Qian slightly nodded and spoke directly.

”That overpowering Time Cage is effective on itself too... In this process, it’s like us; if damaged, it accumulates.”

Chief Yuan’s intuition in combat isn’t fake; with little guidance, she quickly connected the dots, revealing her insight.

”That’s why it dodged, because it doesn’t want to trade injury for injury.”

”Moreover, this special cage must be activated in advance, not a capability that intercepts and repeats time after everything has occurred, which is why despite no positive result, I still felt nine cycles—it’s pre-activated and can’t be canceled!”

There’s a term called sudden enlightenment, and under Master Fu’s guidance, Chief Yuan seemed to gradually understand everything, instantly tying all matters together.

”Strictly speaking, it likely doesn’t want to exchange severe injuries for severe injuries.”

Although still in a dark state, Fu Qian showed a teachable expression, acknowledged Yuan Shan’s answer, and supplemented details.

”The reason it retreated was that it judged that if struck by my attack, the consequences would be somewhat serious.”

...

Sensible... but how did you initially make this judgment?

And with such confidence, daringly entering the game, to validate this point?

Even if you are Second Phase, if guessed incorrectly, wouldn’t the loss be significant?

The strategist’s acknowledgment and on-site teaching are touching, but upon reflecting the entire process, Yuan Shan visibly still has some lingering fears about the evolution of the situation.

Hmph, that’s not blind confidence, but a cautious expectation judgment.

Considering the current situation, Yuan Shan hasn’t expressed these doubts, but for Fu Qian, noticing this is easy, as he assessed the surroundings and pondered.

Lord Angel continuously demonstrated ”Instant Thousand Strikes,” bringing undoubtedly remarkable pressure.

Despite initially withstanding the pressure, resolving this matter without exposing his ranking was impossible.

That’s likely one reason if truly dispatched by Corin, why it can shoulder this responsibility.

Indeed, Fu Qian still held to the guess that Corin was orchestrating from behind.

And the current situation can be perceived as a move of reluctant exposure of identity, desiring to test him to the utmost, showcasing an unknown yet sufficiently weighted trump card.

Then, he needs to find a method to break the deadlock caused by this significant disparity in hard power.

A meticulous arrangement by a cunning, strategic High-level Extraordinary.

Within the realm of costs he can bear.
