283: Addicted to stealing

The Han Dongxu that Gu Qinghan killed before was also a Necromancer and Contractor.

However, the situation back then was different from now; Gu Qinghan had the advantage of preparation.

This time, Gu Qinghan faced three powerhouses.

Any one of these three, if they appeared in the outside world, could undoubtedly stir up a bloody storm.

Of course, that's assuming they wanted to.

Piao Jun once again conjured a bone hand and directly grabbed towards the most densely populated area of the opposing crowd.

He had originally intended to use this skill at a critical moment, but now he had no choice.

"They're trying to snatch people!"

The Demon Contractor immediately realized Piao Jun's objective and quickly rushed forward, trying to interfere with Piao Jun using his tentacles.

Piao Jun was also somewhat annoyed; he manipulated the bone hand to constantly swing, trying to avoid the illusory tentacles.

From the stands, Piao Jun and this guy looked like they were playing a game of 'eagle catching chicks'.

"Gu Qinghan! You're infuriating me! Go get him!"

Piao Jun was so angry his teeth itched, but he could only throw another stolen Holy Skill near the Contractor.

This skill was originally a melee skill, but after Piao Jun stole it, it could actually be used as a ranged skill.

Seeing Piao Jun like this, Gu Qinghan quickly said,

"That woman's Holy Skill seems pretty good; try to steal it."

Piao Jun was on the verge of tears and could only explain,

"I can't. My Holy Skill can only be stolen when the opponent uses a certain skill.

Moreover, I can currently only steal one skill at a time.

If I steal that woman's skill now, I won't have any skills to attack with!"

Gu Qinghan thought for a moment, then leaned close to Piao Jun and said,

"That skill should be a skill that combines offense and defense; just steal it and you're done.

Now, if the opponent has a little less power, it's an advantage for us!"

Piao Jun thought about it and could only nod heavily.

Gu Qinghan took a deep breath; his main objective now was to force out the Holy Skill of the Cleric opposite him.

Fortunately, he had prepared for contingencies, and the gigantic Bone Whale above his head could attack one more time.

However, this last attack felt somewhat strained.

The enormous whale tail slowly moved, but this time it didn't lift; instead, it swept upwards from below.

A wave, much smaller than before, appeared and crashed towards the woman.

With the appearance of this shattered bone wave, the gigantic Bone Whale in the sky also collapsed with a roar, turning into a sky full of white light.

Torres had been watching Gu Qinghan's movements, and the moment the wave appeared, he immediately sent half of his undead to block it.

But facing the massive wave, the female Cleric was still somewhat afraid.

She looked at the grayish-white undead and finally unleashed one of her trump cards.

"Holy Skill: Illusory Foam Bubble!"

Foam, like a geyser, appeared in front of the woman, protecting her firmly.

Torres frowned, about to say something, when he noticed Piao Jun opposite him move.

"Holy Skill: Steal the Heavens!"

Piao Jun shouted loudly, directly extending his hand towards the woman in the distance.

This time, Gu Qinghan clearly saw what happened to Piao Jun.

It seemed as if a phantom of a hand quickly extended from his body, then grabbed towards the female Cleric.

The next moment, the wall of foam rapidly collapsed, making the woman's expression freeze!

"Impossible! I saw you use at least four Holy Skills! How can you still have mana!"

The woman roared in disbelief, but her disappearing skill told her that it had already happened.

Piao Jun chuckled, ignoring the woman, but gave Gu Qinghan a wink and said,

"Brother can steal more than just skills; he can also steal mana when attacking people!"

Gu Qinghan wasn't surprised; Piao Jun's strong sustained combat ability had made him somewhat guess this point.

But soon he thought of something and asked Piao Jun again,

"Why don't you just steal all their skills? Wouldn't that directly disable one person?"

Piao Jun almost spat out a mouthful of old blood and said in a pleading tone,

"Buddy, if I stole every skill I saw, then I'd truly be invincible.

If I stole another skill while already having one stolen skill...

Then the later stolen skill would overwrite the previous one, understand?

And the previously stolen skill would also disappear, returning to the person it was stolen from."

Gu Qinghan said "Oh," but still found Piao Jun's skill incredibly powerful.

If used well, this skill could completely change the tide of a battle.

After acquiring the new skill, Piao Jun immediately used it on the Demon Contractor.

This time, the Demon Contractor was clearly somewhat flustered, with even some tentacles being enveloped and weakened by the bubbles.

Torres forcibly suppressed the urge to curse and shifted his gaze away from the woman.

Gu Qinghan's final attack almost entirely hit his undead.

But to everyone's shock, although the skin and flesh of these undead were considerably torn, only one of them shattered.

Yes, when this undead died, it shattered like dry cement.

But all the remaining undead endured, and the torn white skin and flesh on their bodies were slowly recovering.

Gu Qinghan's gaze narrowed slightly; he naturally saw this scene.

These undead, he didn't know how they were made, but each one's strength was so absurd.

Suddenly, Torres waved at a fallen person.

The already somewhat broken corpse suddenly stood up and ran towards Gu Qinghan in a very strange running posture.

Gu Qinghan tried to control this corpse with Corpse Impact, but it had no effect.

Helpless, he could only have his Sky Eye Skeleton focus fire on this corpse.

With a bang, when more than ten crossbow bolts hit the corpse, a booming sound rang out.

People only saw that the running corpse from before had now shattered into countless pieces, and a deep pit had been blasted out in that spot.

Although the plaza was made of some unknown material and would gradually repair damaged areas.

Yet this scene alone left everyone speechless.

Gu Qinghan's brows furrowed tightly; this guy was surprisingly powerful.

If this was the power from blood, then this power was a bit too strong.

"Surprised? I told you I came to kill you."

Torres's exposed eyes were still smiling, and he even had time to chat with Gu Qinghan.

But just as he said this, Gu Qinghan opposite him suddenly used Death Manipulation.

A freshly fallen corpse was controlled by Gu Qinghan and rushed towards Torres.

Torres looked at the corpse, constantly spewing black Death Poison Mist, and couldn't help but laugh heartily.

He directly sent one of his undead to block it, forcefully tearing the corpse into two pieces.

"Death Poison Mist? Your ability is really good, but unfortunately, it will soon be mine."

Torres clearly noticed that his undead was affected by the poison mist, and his voice was filled with surprise.

But immediately after, his voice even carried a hint of greed.

Gu Qinghan's brows under his mask furrowed tightly; the other party actually said he was about to acquire his abilities.

Torres suddenly walked over to the cloaked summon from before and pulled off the cloak.

What was revealed was a monster seemingly pieced together from countless corpse parts.

"Go, kill these people, and then kill that guy."

Torres patted the monster's shoulder, his tone gentle, as if communicating with a child.

But the next moment, this "child's" body rapidly swelled up.

It was still a grayish-white undead, but this one was clearly more violent and much stronger.
