Chapter 1006: Picking Stars

Killing intent filled the space beneath the human skin.

Under the effect of the Tier 8 [Blood Garment], the headless Hongxiu's body visibly regenerated flesh, and pale bones grew again beneath the withered skin. Everything that had been stolen by the Silver King was slowly recovering...

Asura leader, bones growing flesh, rebirth from a drop of blood!

The Silver King stole her organs, but even if she was torn to pieces, she could still regrow everything inside her body, nearly immortal and indestructible.

Bai Ye's "memory theft" was ineffective against Hongxiu, and Chi Tong's "material theft" was also unable to do anything to the regenerative Hongxiu. The failure of both paths made the Silver King's face extremely gloomy.

But he was, after all, a demigod who had stolen the entire "Path of the Thief God," and the Thief God paths in his hands were far more than just these.

"No matter how well you can fight, you are only Tier 8..."

As the Silver King spoke slowly, countless Thief God paths began to outline themselves behind him. He raised his arm, as if wanting to grab something from the divine path behind him...

Hongxiu's flesh and bones had recovered more than halfway. She suddenly gripped the spear, and her figure, as if riding lightning, killed toward the Silver King again!

Although she had no head and no expression could be seen, Hongxiu's killing intent was already unstoppable. Dense tentacles of killing intent covered the sky, like a raging tide, instantly swallowing the Silver King!

Amidst the vast killing intent, a point of spear light pierced the sky and earth, heading straight for the Silver King's brow!

Just at this moment,

a path was dragged out from the "Path of the Thief God" by the Silver King by force!!

……

Wuji Realm, Clock Tower.

A huge clock rotated slowly at the top of the ancient clock tower, making a dull creaking sound... Behind the hollowed-out patterns, a figure stood calmly, eyes fixed on the roaring battlefield in the distance.

"Brother Xiao Li... the thunder outside is so loud." A-Qian buried her head behind Ying Fu, her small face pale with fright.

"Are they still not done fighting?"

"...Not yet." Ying Fu covered A-Qian's ears with one hand and spoke slowly, "However, it should be over soon."

"Okay..."

A-Qian replied in a low voice.

Just as Ying Fu was watching the battlefield with full concentration, a figure hurried to his back.

"Your Majesty...!" It was none other than Mo Lian, who should have been guarding the entrance of the clock tower. At this moment, he was sweating profusely, as if he had just rushed up in a hurry.

"What's the rush?"

"Your Majesty, something seems wrong..."

As Mo Lian spoke, his face turned visibly pale. He slowly raised his hands and said in a tone bordering on collapse:

"My [Picking Stars] path... seems to have been stolen."

Hearing this, Ying Fu's pupils contracted slightly, and then, as if thinking of something, he suddenly looked back at the battlefield!

……

In the void, a path gradually solidified in the Silver King's palm. Eight twinkling stars connected to each other, slowly outlining the silhouette of a Western knight's spear!

Path of the Thief God, [Picking Stars] path.

As the eight stars on this path suddenly lit up, an indescribable aura locked onto the speeding Hongxiu!

The next moment, the tide of killing intent that filled the sky vanished into thin air, as if a portion of Hongxiu's power had been forcibly stolen... Immediately after, the killing intent spear she held tightly suddenly disintegrated into thin air, dissipating into nothingness.

Hongxiu's [Asura] skills were being stolen one by one by the [Picking Stars] path!

Tier 8 skill, Tier 7 skill, Tier 6 skill...

For every skill Hongxiu lost, the killing intent around her lost a variation. At the same time, one star on the spear in the Silver King's hand turned black, sealing the stolen skill within it!

Tier 5 skill, Tier 4 skill...

The killing intent thunder roaring in the clouds disintegrated and disappeared. Hongxiu, having lost almost all her buffs, did not hesitate in the slightest, still like an unstoppable god of slaughter, throwing her bare fists at the Silver King.

The Silver King retreated continuously, but at this moment, he seemed to have lost the power to steal space and could not teleport, so he could only stumble backward, barely dodging Hongxiu's attacks...

Bang bang—!!

Although she lost her skills, Hongxiu's physical combat power was still terrifying. Two punches grazed the Silver King's body, bursting out large clouds of blood mist. At this time, the seventh star on the spear in the Silver King's hand had turned black!

The Silver King's eyes narrowed slightly. Facing Hongxiu's next punch, he did not dodge, but threw the spear in his hand with a whistle!!

Facing the spear that tore through the sky, Hongxiu showed no fear. She raised her fist, carrying the power of a thousand armies, and smashed it toward the tip of the spear, as if to blast it into scrap metal!

One person and one spear approached rapidly in the air!

Just as Hongxiu's fist was about to touch the tip of the spear, the eighth star on the spear turned pitch black like ink.

[Asura] path Tier 1 skill—Blood Garment.

The moment she lost the Blood Garment, Hongxiu's body seemed to be drained. Her incomplete bones and flesh stopped growing, and her chest was instantly pierced by the whistling spear tip...

A withered and powerless body instantly streaked across half of the Wuji Realm, like a falling black meteor.

Everyone saw this scene;

her figure streaked across the sky, and her blood spilled across Wuji, like a bright, silent rain, drizzling down into the human world.

Cao Jun felt a blur before his eyes and subconsciously reached out to touch his cheek.

As he lowered his head slightly, he saw thick, deep red blood flowing slowly between his fingers...

Warm and slippery.

Cao Jun stared blankly at this splash of scarlet, standing in place like a statue.

Thud—!!

The spear pierced through Hongxiu's chest, swept across half of the Wuji Realm, and finally nailed her to the city wall of the realm.

Hongxiu, having had her [Blood Garment] stolen, had lost her monstrous regenerative ability. Her body was nailed to the wall, swaying silently in the wind...

Like a garment stained red with blood.

The entire Wuji Realm fell into a deathly silence.

The black sun failed to rise in the Wuji Realm, and the heavy haze once again covered the sky. From this moment on, a deeper despair once again shrouded the earth.

Swish, swish, swish—

A figure walked slowly through the hazy street, the black British trench coat swaying silently, and finally stopped in front of the city wall where Hongxiu was nailed.

He looked up, and in those deep blue eyes, Hongxiu's remains, swaying in the wind, were clearly reflected...

"To go this far and still not be able to kill you... [Asura] leader, you are indeed hard to kill."

"However..."

"You are no different from dead now."

The Silver King did not pull out the spear; it was precisely because of the spear's existence that Hongxiu's skills were stolen and sealed...

If those skills were allowed to return to Hongxiu's body, no one knew if this woman would crawl up again like a cockroach and fight him to the death.
