Chapter 332: After the Catastrophe

Heaven-tier mid-grade martial art: Void Evasion.

Allows the user to blend into the surroundings while increasing movement speed by 30%, and the first attack after leaving the Void Evasion state deals 30% more damage.

This is the Void Evasion effect at the initial stage of proficiency.

The bonuses it provides are relatively modest for a Heaven-tier martial art.

But the most important aspect of this martial art is the ability to blend into the surrounding environment.

"I don't know how the stealth effect of this martial art compares to my Protective Coloration."

Protective Coloration is a skill Gu Han previously obtained from the Invisible Wolf King.

Unlike Void Evasion, which blends into the surroundings, Protective Coloration covers the user with an illusion to obscure the enemy's sight.

These two martial arts each have their own advantages and disadvantages, suited to different environments.

Anyway, Gu Han has more martial art experience than he knows what to do with.

After choosing to learn it, he immediately maxed out the experience for the Void Evasion martial art.

After Xiao Kai's death, Gu Han once again revealed his signature ability.

After taking everything Xiao Kai had on him, he dumped the corpse on the ground.

At the same time, he placed several fire-red beads on Xiao Kai's body.

Immediately afterward, Gu Han swiftly used the Void Evasion martial art to vanish into the void.

Gu Han's eyes seemed to be covered by a thin veil of light, making the scene before him appear somewhat blurred.

"So this is what Void Evasion feels like?"

He cautiously approached a massive Black Tide Monster whose aura was nearing that of a Martial Sovereign, the strongest among them.

But that Black Tide Monster acted as if it hadn't seen Gu Han at all, simply walking straight past him.

"It seems this Void Evasion martial art is quite handy."

Gu Han grinned and left without looking back.

Meanwhile, the surrounding Black Tide Monsters piled up layer by layer toward Xiao Kai's corpse.

Not long after, Gu Han, now far away, snapped his fingers.

The beads on Xiao Kai's body instantly emitted an unstable, violent surge.

Boom!

A fierce wave of fiery flames surged outward, instantly reducing all Black Tide Monsters within a radius of several hundred meters to ash!

White Tie and the others, who had already distanced themselves from the Black Tide, felt a wave of intense heat.

They turned their heads and glanced far off, seeing a patch of dark red in the night, and their pupils instantly contracted.

"Is this a battle between the Savior Heir and the one who defected to the Black Tide?"

White Tie and the others felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

With such terrifying power, even if they stayed there, they wouldn't be able to help in the slightest!

White Tie is at least the strongest fighter of Lu Chui Zhen.

He had thought that even if the Savior Heir was stronger than him, the difference would be limited.

But now it seems he had indeed underestimated the strength of those Savior Heirs!

However, not long after, they began to hear urgent whooshing sounds from behind them.

Everyone's hearts rang with alarm bells, the minds they had just relaxed suddenly tensed again.

White Tie and the others clenched their hammers tightly, ready to fight to the death!

If the one arriving is the Savior Heir who has allied with the Black Tide Monsters,

then they can only fight desperately to see if they can drive the enemy away!

At the same time, their gaze fell upon the handsome Little Wolf.

If they truly had to fight that traitorous Savior Heir who betrayed humanity,

would the Savior Heir's holy beast be able to help?

Cough cough!

The blacksmith supported by Wang Ye suddenly coughed up several mouthfuls of bruised blood!

These bruised blood drops fell to the ground, making everyone's scalp go numb.

Because the bruised blood kept bubbling, it emitted a sizzling sound!

Although they had never seen a Black Tide Monster cough up blood, this abnormal blood likely signals an imminent transformation into a Black Tide Monster.

Everyone's hearts sank.

It's likely that before the Savior Heir's battle ends, the blacksmith will turn into a Black Tide Monster.

"Wang... Wang Ye, kill me quickly!"

That person struggled, coughing up more fresh blood, and weakly shouted at Wang Ye,

The priest had already left with the main force; even killing him wouldn't stop his transformation into a Black Tide Monster.

But it could delay the speed of his transformation!

Wang Ye's mind was in turmoil, while the others nearby wore grim faces, none willing to strike.

The blacksmith, seeing this, had no strength left even to sigh; he gathered all his might, grabbed his weapon, and smashed it into his own chest!

"Gentlemen, glad to see you're all right—what a relief!"

Just then, a relaxed voice sounded in everyone's ears.

Hearing a somewhat familiar voice coming from behind, everyone let out a breath of relief, and their tension eased.

Wang Ye, quick-eyed and quick-handed, swiftly seized the blacksmith's weapon,

"You want to seek death? Not a chance!"

They all know that Gu Han has the ability to cleanse Black Tide aura.

Although the middle-aged one's injuries have already penetrated his five organs and six viscera, whether they can be healed, they have no certainty in their hearts.

But since the Savior Heir has already rushed back, there is still hope!

Gu Han moved at extreme speed and quickly arrived beside the group.

He sensed the blacksmith's injuries, and the demon king Yin Liyun within the obsidian demon stone shook his head.

"The aura has already corroded his five organs and six viscera. If I were still in my prime, I could help draw out the Black Tide aura, but as I am now, I cannot."

Gu Han, adhering to the principle of not wasting, only wanted Yin Liyun to try first.

Since Yin Liyun cannot do it, Gu Han then unveiled his final great killing weapon.

The Tianyu Spirit Fruit, long eager to heal wounds, immediately condensed into a jade‑green fruit.

Gu Han handed it to Wang Ye,

"Feed him the whole thing to swallow."

The middle‑aged blacksmith's complexion now is not only as pale as paper but already bears several black patches!

He now, let alone eating, has already lost the strength to even speak!

Seeing the intact fruit before him, Wang Ye, who knows its miraculous effect, instantly brightened.

Previously, when the three of them shared such a fruit, each could cleanse the Black Tide aura from their bodies.

Now that there is a whole fruit, it will surely be able to save the brother's life!

Wang Ye hurriedly took a funnel from a wine jar, crushed the fruit, and let the juice flow through the funnel into the middle‑aged blacksmith's mouth.

As the Tianyu Spirit Fruit gradually took effect, the middle‑aged blacksmith's complexion slowly regained color, and his aura visibly recovered.

A moment later, the middle‑aged man, now with some strength despite his body's weakness, knelt on the ground and performed a grand salute to Gu Han.

It was only after walking through the Gate of Ghosts that he truly understood how precious life is!

For Gu Han, this is not the first time he has bestowed the favor of rebirth upon him.

Back when they were still in Lu Chui Zhen, Gu Han had already helped him clear the Black Tide aura.

Now it is the second time he has saved his life!

"No need to be so formal; people like you shouldn't die here."

Gu Han waved his hand, indicating the middle‑aged man need not be overly courteous.

He is not a saint; he cannot save everyone he sees.

But for a blacksmith like this, who is willing to risk others' safety.

People who give their own lives.

Gu Han also would never stand by and do nothing.
