Chapter 61 Provocation

In the blink of an eye.

Three days had already passed since Chen Xiao left Jiangbei.

The evolved version of [All-Directional Feathers] was the [S-Class Skill Talent: Eight-Way Annihilation].

Description: To master space is to master the life and death of mortals.
Effect: Can instantly tear apart stable space within a designated area, forming a terrifying storm of spatial fragments.

His very first skill talent!

This evolved skill was indeed even more powerful.

In a team battle, it could very well become a trump card!

If he had possessed [Eight-Way Annihilation] during that great battle against the Tang family...

I'm afraid those awakened ones on the city walls wouldn't have lasted three seconds!

...

Only two days remained until Tang Shirou's grand wedding!

If his luck was bad today as well,

Chen Xiao planned to simply slip away. After all, the capital was a long way from here, and time was running out.

Fortunately.

The enhanced version of the [Disguise] talent!

[SS-Class Skill Talent: Invisibility]

Description: To master space is to master the supreme path of life and death.
Effect: Can become directly invisible upon activation, though it consumes a massive amount of personal stamina while active.
Note: Invisibility is cancelled once discovered.

His second skill talent!

It yielded the greatest reward possible!

As for the cost? Consuming his own stamina?
This Tyrannosaurus Rex of a man has stamina to spare!

"You wild man in this villa! Get your ass out here!"
"I want to see what kind of dog you look like, the man chosen by the Extreme Way Demoness!"

Suddenly, a string of curses echoed from outside the door, calling him out by name.

Chen Xiao glanced in confusion at Liu Ruyan, who had just woken up beside him.

"It's the Extreme Way Minotaur..."
"One of the leaders of the base. He's had his eyes on me for a while. I didn't expect him to find out you were here."

Liu Ruyan replied with a hint of embarrassment, then continued, "I can't get out of bed right now anyway, so you can deal with the trouble you caused yourself."

Then she rolled over and stopped looking at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao chuckled helplessly: "Fine, fine, I'm the one who caused the trouble, right?"

He threw on his clothes, walked down the stairs, and stepped out of the villa.

The intruder was a two-meter-tall muscular man with a thick beard, every inch of his skin taut with strength.

Notably, he was currently wielding a massive broadsword.

Behind him stood five equally burly men, though their aura was pathetically weak.
They were likely just ordinary awakened ones.

"So you're that wild man! Tell me, how far have you and Liu Ruyan gone?"

The Extreme Way Minotaur panted heavily. Hearing early this morning that the Extreme Way Demoness was keeping a kept man, he had flown into a rage and rushed right over.

He had pursued her so hard for so long, yet she had treated him with utter indifference.
And yet, she was keeping a kept man?!

This was completely unacceptable to him!
How was he supposed to hold his head high in the base from now on?

Chen Xiao feigned deep thought: "Everything you can possibly imagine."

"What the hell, you're practically asking for a death wish! Boss, go smash him to pieces!"
"You're the first person dares act so arrogant in front of our boss!"
"Even if you're the Extreme Way Demoness's kept man, she won't be able to protect you!"
"Can't you see the Extreme Way Demoness doesn't even dare to come out? She's already abandoned you!"

The five burly men flew into a rage, shouting one after another, their eyes looking as if they wanted to tear Chen Xiao apart alive!

Chen Xiao chuckled: "Sorry, we were too wild last night. She just can't get out of bed yet."

"Die!"

Hearing this, the Extreme Way Minotaur was consumed by fury. His thick eyebrows stood on end, and his gaze burned like torches!

The broadsword tightly gripped in his hand was instantly enveloped by a surging, turbulent black demonic energy, a power as dark as an abyss that sent chills down the spine.

S-Class Magic Talent: [Minotaur's Breath]!

Chen Xiao looked at the broadsword with keen interest. This was the first time he had ever seen an awakened beast be a minotaur, yet have a magic-type talent!

It seemed this Extreme Way Minotaur possessed some genuine strength.

"Rumble—"

The powerful magic energy surged, directly bombarding Chen Xiao's location.

"Hmph... Serves that kept man right for trying to act cool. He's about to bite the dust in a second, hahaha."
"Anyone capable of sleeping with the Extreme Way Demoness must have extraordinary backing. But what a pity, he ran into one of the top leaders of the base!"
"Once we take care of the kept man, we'll help the boss break open the Demoness's door and let the boss have a wonderful time!"

The onlookers could already picture the scene of Chen Xiao being sliced in half.

However, Chen Xiao now possessed nine major talents!

How could he possibly be injured by a mere S-Class talent?

He had ten thousand ways to evade it. This time, he chose [Divine Wind] + [Invisibility]!

A combo skill!

In the span of a single instant, Chen Xiao vanished right from where he stood!

The next moment, reappearing in physical form, he had already ambushed the Extreme Way Minotaur from behind!

"What?!"

In the blink of an eye, the Extreme Way Minotaur had lost his target!

What on earth just happened?
Why did this kept man have the Extreme Way Demoness's [Disguise] talent?!

"Holy shit, isn't that the Extreme Way Demoness's talent?"
"Oh crap, the boss didn't do his homework before coming. This feels like it's going to go sideways!"
"What are you panicking for? Have you ever seen the boss go all out?"
"Exactly! A trick that's only good for hiding is completely useless!"
"Hmph! With strength like that, he ultimately can't escape death!"

Yet the Extreme Way Minotaur, caught right in the middle of the battle, was not nearly as optimistic as his underlings.

He didn't even have time to overthink it.

Because all around him, space itself was shattering under the powerful energy shockwave, cracking open like fragile glass!

It transformed into invisible yet razor-sharp spatial blades, forming a chilling spatial blade field.

After swirling and circling in the air, they gradually converged into a single point, fusing and intertwining with one another.

As the power shifted, those invisible blades began to manifest tangible traces.

A deep and mystical crystalline blue flowed through them, resembling an inverted galaxy, dazzling and breathtaking!

[Eight-Way Annihilation] + [Water of All Things]!

Another combo skill!

"No, no, no! Who the hell are you?!"

The Extreme Way Minotaur panicked completely. He had never experienced a crisis of mortality like this before!

Even Tier 2 New Humans didn't possess this kind of capability!

"Who am I?"

Chen Xiao rubbed his chin and suddenly spoke:

"I am... the Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
