Chapter 270

If this is the case, these Saint-Grade Lords should possess at least some Saint-Grade materials.

If throwing a single piece of Supreme-Sharp Steel could break the shield, what would there be left to fight?

Therefore, Lu Cang decided to rest.

Waiting for events to unfold naturally; sometimes, action does not yield results.

Time is needed for a buffer.

This brief period of leisure.

For the other Lords, it was peace, a buffer, and finally a respite from being provoked by Lu Cang.

It was a period of easing.

But for Lu Cang,

this period was a rapid, unceasing ascent.

While the person rested, the strength of his territory grew wildly.

The benefits originally gained during the campaign were still being digested continuously.

【Analysis of the Black Tortoise Shell completed】

【Special Gene Acquired: Shock-Reflecting Keratin】

【Shock-Reflecting Keratin: Your keratin layer has become incredibly hard, capable of defending against the vast majority of physical attacks. When any physical attack strikes you, a shock-reflecting effect will occur.】

【This shock-reflecting effect occurs through spatial resonance, reflecting the same type of damage, and can take effect across long distances.】

"Good thing it's not muscle tissue~."

Lu Cang was very afraid that this shell analysis would yield the ability of muscle tissue.

That would conflict with the Secret Steel tissue.

Both are defense types.

But generally, only one can be activated in a single part.

Blood, however, can be activated multiple times.

Mixing blood with multiple effects.

But for parts like muscle,

simultaneous activation serves no purpose.

They cannot be mixed to improve.

"Shock-Reflecting Keratin is still quite universal."

The keratin layer, to put it plainly, is just a layer of skin.

The vast majority of Lu Cang's troops possess a keratin layer.

And all of them can make use of it.

Most importantly, it is that shock-reflecting ability.

Making the enemy kill a thousand, yet lose eight hundred themselves.

And even more importantly...

Lu Cang slowly beckoned with his right hand.

A pale yellow shell appeared in Lu Cang's hand.

【Flesh and Blood Consumed: 10,000,000】

【Reverse Transcription Used】

【You have Reverse Transcribed Item: Black Tortoise Shell】

This pale yellow shell was nothing other than the item dropped by the previous BOSS, the Black Tortoise Shell.

It also possesses the ability to reflect shock.

And it can form a barrier defending against physical attacks.

"Hmm..."

Lu Cang thought briefly, then looked at the Blood Giant 【Tai】 before him.

"Attack me."

"As you command."

Without any hesitation.

After receiving Lu Cang's order,

Tai's right hand instantly transformed into a 【Thin Blade】.

This massive-sized 【Tai】 used his own weight to strike down fiercely at Lu Cang on the ground!

At the same time, the Weapon Combat Skill activated!

【Brutal Heavy Slash】

【Tai】 had already mastered various Weapon Combat Skills, unleashing powerful damage far exceeding the weapon's original might.

And the Supreme-Sharp Fibers activated as well, adding their enhancement.

Plus the immense force inherent in his own body.

Bang!

This strike fell from the sky.

It hit Lu Cang's head with perfect accuracy!

Boom!

The tremendous impact force drove Lu Cang directly into the earth.

The ground beneath Lu Cang's feet caved inward, forming a giant flesh crater.

The surrounding flesh and blood burst with blood due to the crushing pressure.

This scene was strikingly similar to a certain skill of the Hellblood Demon God from a game in his past life.

But...

Lu Cang was not merely taking the beating.

Instead, he activated all of his defensive measures.

Moreover, the flesh and blood on his body tightly interwove, forming a round shield toward the sky to block the attack.

【Secret Steel Tissue】

【Rebound Keratin】

【Black Turtle Carapace】

Boom!

Tai's strike plummeted down.

The cutting bonus from the Absolute Sharp Fibers gave the airflow powerful cutting ability.

The airflow that did not hit Lu Cang's body swept over the ground.

The impact alone caused a huge crack to split the flesh-and-blood earth beneath Lu Cang's feet.

Yet Lu Cang's body remained unharmed.

But on Tai's body, a thin horizontal line appeared.

Crack—

It was only an instant.

Tai's upper body actually began to shift.

Then, it slowly slid down.

Thunderous crash.

Tai's strike that landed on Lu Cang was perfectly rebounded back.

Moreover, it was in the same form of attack.

This strike was cutting damage.

So what was rebounded back was also cutting.

If this strike had been shock damage, what was rebounded back would also have been shock.

And even more terrifying was this:

This rebound was not a single rebound.

Rather, the 【Rebound Keratin】 performed one rebound.

And the 【Black Turtle Carapace】 performed a second rebound.
