Absolute Death Game-Chapter 380 - 22 Chapter Nameless Jade Slip

Xiao Buli reached the Rat King, and the Rat King’s companions were instantly stunned, unable to muster the strength to come to his aid for a moment.

But the Rat King was no vegetarian, having spilled much blood and sweat to rise to his current station. Although his intelligence seemed somewhat higher, he was no stranger to battle.

Seeing Xiao Buli with a sword in his hand, standing right in front of him, the Rat King’s beady eyes glared, and finally with a sharp squeaking sound. The rat horde behind him quickly changed formation. The injured rats that could move dragged their broken bodies to the back, while those that couldn’t were tossed to the outskirts by the rats behind, leaving a group of relatively strong fighters to surround the Rat King and Xiao Buli, seemingly with the intention of cornering Xiao Buli.

Although Xiao Buli had no eyes on his back, he understood from the Rat King’s cries that he was strategizing.

He thought, "Even if the King of Heaven himself came today it wouldn’t make a difference, I am going to fight you to the death." Ignoring the multitude of rats behind him, he activated the Spiritual Energy Shield, and the automatic defense system began to protect his back. Facing the rats, he swung his treasured sword wildly at the Rat King.

The Rat King quickly turned, its tail as thick as steel bars, whipping through the air at Xiao Buli, who hastily jumped up. But this jump was careless, as I already mentioned this cave was just high enough for Xiao Buli to stand up. With that jump, his head hit the cave’s ceiling hard, causing him to see stars and a dizzying DEBUFF appeared above his head. Upon landing, Xiao Buli felt a buzzing in his ears. Seeing that his blow had hit — though actually, it was Xiao Buli who had hit himself — the Rat King turned around, its sharp foreclaws slashing down at Xiao Buli. Luckily, the Protective Shield was in place; otherwise, those claws would have caused Xiao Buli significant blood loss.

Xiao Buli couldn’t afford to be careless. Despite his head still feeling hazy, he waved his treasured sword wildly in front of him. Seeing the Rat King retreat, Xiao Buli immediately followed up, not giving it any chance to breathe. The Rat King saw the sharpness of Xiao Buli’s sword and dared not confront it head-on, using the sharp blades on its claws for defense while shrinking its head back. This seemed to be one of the Rat King’s defensive skills, tucking its head underneath its thick shell, using the keratin’s hardness for protection, a bit like a turtle’s head-retracting skill.

Unfortunately, as previously mentioned, the Rat King had a big belly, probably due to a life of luxury. The space that was supposed to accommodate its head was now filled with fatty tissue, making it impossible to tuck successfully. Xiao Buli took advantage of this and his sword strikes caused the Rat King to lose a lot of blood, as their heads were their weakest part. At this moment, the Rat King could no longer worry about any semblance of dignity, squeaking wildly as the rats behind him became restless. A few stronger-looking rats lunged forward with their claws. Fortunately, the battle group was compact; though there was a great number of rats, only a few could actually join the fight. Otherwise, Xiao Buli could have been overwhelmed in seconds. However, as time dragged on, even Xiao Buli began to feel unable to keep up. Although the Spiritual Energy Shield automatically bestowed protection and Resurrection Skills continued to regenerate his health, his True Qi could not withstand such waste.

Xiao Buli’s hand did not stop, giving the Rat King no opportunity to catch its breath, his mind rapidly working, trying to find a way to quickly repel the enemy. Otherwise, if he continued this battle of attrition, the pure waste of his True Qi would leave him without recourse from heaven or earth.

A spell suddenly appeared in his mind, the Heavenly Gang’s Thirty-six Transformations (Pseudo).

Although it was but a skill for intimidation, it was the most fitting to use at the moment. With that thought, Xiao Buli immediately put the Heavenly Gang’s Thirty-six Transformations into use, and mist began to rise around him, with specks of golden light emerging.

Witnessing Xiao Buli’s transformation, the rats that were indiscriminately scratching and biting at the periphery ceased their labor, looking curiously at the small human who unexpectedly began contorting violently in the air. With a pop, the once human had now become a giant beast, its body covered with black scales, long and coiled, with a triangular iron head held high, flickering its snake tongue, beneath which a pair of black wings were folded, revealing the Wing Soaring Snake, the most feared adversary of the rats. Their simple minds couldn’t comprehend why such a huge beast would suddenly appear in this narrow cave, but its status as their mortal enemy was undeniable, and in an instant, they had no time to care for the life or death of the Rat King, fleeing out of the cave in a desperate scramble. What was once a sea of rats had vanished in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Buli saw the tremendous effect of the Heavenly Gang transformation and rejoiced within. He hadn’t expected this seemingly useless Illusion Technique to prove so effective, especially against these low-intelligence wild-beast creatures. Turning to look at the Rat King, his face was a mess from Xiao Buli’s sword slashes, unrecognizable from before, with only his beady eyes blinking furiously, glaring hatefully at Xiao Buli as if unwilling to yield.
