Chapter 49: Battle at the Top of the Tower! Gadi, Tortured to the Limit!

"Ah~"

The sonic attack produced by the short, less-than-a-second Painful Wail made Gadi feel a wave of dizziness.

A pained expression immediately appeared on his face, and he involuntarily covered his ears with his hands.

The sonic attack had forcibly interrupted his Void Evasion.

"Ah~ ah~ ah~"

Following that, short, flat, and rapid sounds were emitted from time to time from Xiduo's mouth, causing Gadi, who had just begun to feel a bit better, to fall back into a frenzy.

"Xiduo, stop, hurry and stop!"

"I, I can't take it anymore!"

Although Gadi was an S-Grade Calamity Hero and his strength was indeed formidable, he had a quite fatal weakness.

That was that he was extremely afraid of sonic attacks.

Under the sonic waves, his tongue had already gone stiff, and he couldn't even pronounce his words correctly.

Different from Xiduo's previous heart-wrenching long notes, after changing to these short notes, it didn't sound quite as terrifying.

Instead, it added a bit of an indescribable nuance to it.

Not to mention that Gadi couldn't stand hearing it, even Zhou Chu, who was on the side, couldn't help but feel a little excited after hearing it.

This was just too soul-stirring.

Facts proved that under this method of execution by Xiduo, Painful Wail not only reduced the consumption of Soul Power to a certain extent but also played a very obvious restraining role.

It even disrupted Gadi's state of mind.

Seeing Gadi tortured into such a state by the sonic attack, Xiduo immediately used an Iron Chain Binding to bind the opponent tightly.

At the same time, the cold air on the iron chains instantly solidified, forming a layer of ice on Gadi's body.

Furthermore, the continuous damage from Iron Chain Binding caused Gadi's Blood Value to drop crazily.

Very quickly, Zhou Chu was able to see Gadi's true Blood Value.

【Blood Value: /】

As an S-Grade Calamity Hero, his Blood Value reached as high as 1 million.

Zhou Chu admitted that when he saw this Blood Value, he was deeply shocked.

From this, it could be seen that this Void Assassin must be wearing high-quality equipment that added to his Blood Value.

Seeing this, Zhou Chu's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart filled with joy.

Good opportunity!

Strike while the iron is hot!

Zhou Chu quickly drew his bow, and arrows flickering with dark power shot toward the bound Gadi like meteors.

The arrows struck the ice layer on Gadi's body, emitting "bang bang" sounds, and cracks appeared on the ice layer.

But the scene before him left Zhou Chu dumbfounded.

When Gadi's Blood Value dropped below 50%, a layer of halo suddenly flashed and enveloped his body.

It not only immunized him against this series of Zhou Chu's attacks but even broke him free from the ice chain's binding, and the ice layer covering his body instantly turned into fragments.

Damn it!

An S-Grade Calamity Hero really has some tricks up his sleeve.

This skill can not only immunize against attacks but even purge freezing negative effects as well.

The next second, the Gadi before him, with lightning speed, flashed his figure and escaped into the void.

This is bad!

Zhou Chu couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, and a thick sense of crisis instantly surged up.

Once Gadi successfully escapes into the void, it enters his hunting moment.

And he and Xiduo would then become lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

He also didn't know just how high Gadi's attack was.

Presumably, this level 50 S-Grade Calamity Hero's attack shouldn't be low.

Moreover, Assassin Class professions are known for high-damage combos and finishing moves, so their burst power must be impressive.

At this moment, Xina and Xiduo's Blood Qi was only a little over 100,000, only one-tenth of the opponent's.

It was not impossible for them to be taken out in one combo by the opponent.

Now, the timing has become particularly important.

As long as he can grasp the timing of Gadi emerging from the void, while avoiding being taken out in one combo, he must try his best to control him again.

Zhou Chu was certain that Gadi's damage immunity and negative effect purging skill would not trigger again in a short period of time.

It's just that the enemy is in the dark while he is in the light; it is truly difficult to judge Gadi's timing and method of attack, so he can only rely on his intuition.

Now Zhou Chu can only pray that he won't be taken out in one combo.

But honestly, isn't this bet a bit too reckless?

This is simply gambling with his life.

If he really gets taken out by Gadi in one combo, wouldn't it be a total disaster?

No, he cannot sit and wait for death; he must do something.

Xiduo, on the side, seeing Gadi escape into the void and knowing that danger was about to descend, immediately drove the iron chains on her body, turning them into an iron barrel to wrap both Zhou Chu and herself inside.

Although this move of Xiduo's was effective, it had a loophole.

That was at the position above their heads.

Zhou Chu knew, and Gadi must also know.

In other words, what Zhou Chu needs to do now is to keep an eye on the top.

Consequently, Zhou Chu pulled the longbow in his hand to its full draw and aimed upward, his focus highly concentrated to deal with Gadi's assault.

Sure enough, at the position directly overhead, the air twisted strangely, instantly turning into a transparent figure that shot downward.

It's here!

Zhou Chu could clearly feel a biting cold killing intent rushing straight down.

Almost at the same time, Zhou Chu released the taut bowstring.

Gadi, who had rushed out from the void, upon seeing the arrows strike, actually leaned his head back and leaped backward with his entire body without the aid of any support point.

The several arrows flying in parallel grazed past the tip of his nose.

He had actually used such an incredible movement to perfectly dodge the Scattering Skill that Zhou Chu had just realized.

At the same time, Gadi's figure appeared from the air; using the backflip, his head faced downward and his feet upward, and the black short blade in his hand thrust forward, swooping down toward Zhou Chu again like a hunting falcon.

Gadi's speed was truly too fast.

It was as if rocket thrusters were installed on the soles of his feet, making it simply impossible to dodge.

Although Zhou Chu tried his best to evade and managed to avoid a fatal blow to the head, the short blade in Gadi's hand still stabbed into his shoulder.

Puchi!

-!

Zhou Chu's Blood Value was instantly knocked down by half.

Thank goodness, thank goodness!

As long as I wasn't taken out in one hit, there is a chance for a comeback.

Just as Zhou Chu prepared to draw his bow again, he discovered his limbs were numb and his whole body was weak; even lifting his arm was a bit difficult.

Gadi's attack also carried a paralysis debuff!

I miscalculated!

At this moment, a sharp glint flashed in the corner of Gadi's eyes, and he let out a low, deep shout: "Go to hell..."

"Ah—"

Just as Gadi was about to use his finishing move on Zhou Chu, the sound of Xiduo's Painful Wail suddenly rang in his ears.

Struck by the sonic attack, Gadi's body staggered violently, and he painfully covered his ears with both hands.

He lost the opportunity to strike at Zhou Chu a second time.

Meanwhile, his health was affected by the sonic attack, and his Blood Qi instantly plummeted to 20%.

"Don't think you can defeat me just like this!"

Gadi suddenly roared, and a powerful Calamity Power erupted from his body, causing Xiduo's Iron Chain Formation to fall apart directly.

Stunned by the Calamity Power on Gadi's body, Xiduo's Blood Value was instantly knocked down by half.

And Zhou Chu, hit by this powerful shockwave, was sent flying directly.

Looking up to see his own health at less than 10%, he was so scared his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Fortunately, Xiduo did not fail the task; although already heavily injured, she gritted her teeth and successfully controlled the nearly maddened Gadi once more with an Iron Chain Binding.

Zhou Chu discovered that he had happened to fall right at the location of the Calamity Source Seed.

Influenced by the Purification Stone, it had already been successfully separated from the main energy body of the Secret Realm Tower.

However, it had not been completely purified; crack-like fissures were faintly visible on its surface, and it flickered with a weak light, listless and faint.

Zhou Chu grabbed it in his hand and, taking advantage of the Calamity Source Seed being extremely fragile, prepared to crush it with his bare hands.

Just at this moment, Xiduo's Painful Wail came to an abrupt end.

Her Soul Power Value was about to be completely exhausted, and she could no longer control Gadi.

But Xiduo still gritted her teeth tightly, supporting herself desperately, while saying in an incomparably weak voice: "Master, he is about to break free, quickly..."
