309: He ran and he chased, but there was no escape.

The Witch also looked at Gu Qinghan with a face full of surprise and doubt; she hadn't expected Gu Qinghan to possess such a terrifyingly powerful skill.

But what she didn't know was that this wasn't Gu Qinghan's skill, but Deaths Touch's.

After Gu Qinghan made Deaths Touch his subordinate, he finally obtained all of its information.

However, at that time, he also received a prompt: currently, he could only master a portion of Deaths Touch's abilities.

Simply put, he was too weak at the moment, and only later would he gradually be able to unlock Deaths Touch's full power.

【Deaths Touch (Emperor): Level 40】

【Combat Power: 400,000】

【Introduction: Originally an overlord of the deep sea, reborn under the catalysis of hatred and death】

【Attachment/Descent: Deaths Touch can attach to other units to fight. In attached state, it can use skills.

Deaths Touch descends into the water, using its main body to fight.】

【Undying and Indestructible: In attached combat state, greatly increases the host's vitality and mana recovery speed.

In main body combat state, severed limbs regenerate at an extremely fast speed.】

【Death Coil: In attached state, can use small tentacles to attack. Enemies entangled by tentacles will gradually lose combat ability until death.

Stores one tentacle every 10 minutes; current cap: 8.】

【Mighty Lash: In attached state, can release large tentacles for powerful strikes. Each strike causes armor-shattering effect and massive damage.

Stores one tentacle every 30 minutes; current cap: 4.】

400,000 combat power—it was the first time Gu Qinghan had encountered such a thing!

Moreover, the originally monarch-level Deaths Touch, perhaps due to its incomplete body and absorbing too much death energy, had now actually transformed into an Emperor-level being.

Although there were only four skills, they still shocked Gu Qinghan for a long time.

Because Deaths Touch could actually attach to other units to fight.

That tentacle that suddenly attacked earlier was actually just one of Death Coil's tendrils.

And Gu Qinghan discovered that while Deaths Touch was attached, his mana recovered at a visible speed.

Out of combat, a normal person's mana recovery speed is about 1% per minute.

This means that without recovery items or skills, a Professional would need to waste nearly two hours to recover after running out of mana.

Gu Qinghan previously had a soul fire enhancement effect, which randomly restored a small amount of mana for every enemy killed.

But as his strength increased, his mana had reached a terrifying amount, and the recovery effect of this skill seemed a bit inadequate.

Now, in combat, Gu Qinghan could recover about 1% of his vitality and mana every 10 seconds!

Coupled with the existence of advanced vitality potions, the word 'endurance' was no longer sufficient to describe Gu Qinghan.

“Is that all you’ve got? Huh?”

Torres roared, Gu Qinghan's previous attack had almost hit, making his heart race significantly.

Countless blood threads shot out from his lower body, twisting that tentacle into lumps of black energy.

However, behind Gu Qinghan, tentacles appeared once again.

Only this time, there were seven.

Gu Qinghan released all remaining tentacles, intending to directly incapacitate Torres.

Torres's expression changed, as if he had truly transformed into a giant spider, moving frantically between buildings.

Gu Qinghan, meanwhile, leaned slightly on the Crow King, controlling the remaining seven tentacles to chase his opponent.

A chase began silently in this city devoid of life.

As Torres leaped, he continuously set up blood-red threads in Gu Qinghan's path.

Some splashing rocks that hit these blood-red threads split in half as if they were tofu.

Gu Qinghan, facing these deadly traps, adopted the most violent approach.

A tentacle suddenly shot out, grabbing these threads like a parent fed up with a child's antics.

Then, with a sudden tug!

Under this domineering offensive, the tentacle snapped, but it still pulled down a large bundle of blood-red threads.

Black and red energies dissipated in the air, revealing Torres's somewhat grim expression behind them.

“You're forcing my hand! Then no one will have an easy time!”

He roared in his heart, then suddenly his face turned pale.

Immediately after, thick blood rapidly flowed from his seven orifices.

After this blood appeared, Torres himself visibly thinned by several circles.

Not a normal thinning, but as if he had been drained, his skin becoming loose.

The thick blood quickly left Torres's body, expanding in the air at an incredible speed.

Gu Qinghan looked from afar, as if a terrifying monster was struggling within it, about to break free.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he showed no sign of slowing down the Crow King.

The Witch, beside Gu Qinghan, watched with a pale face as the viscous blood mass blocked all their paths.

Just as they were less than twenty meters from the blood mass, a black tentacle several meters thick suddenly emerged from the ground.

The moment the black tentacle appeared, it smashed towards the blood mass with lightning speed.

The Witch only felt a black shadow flash before her, and then found that the blood mass blocking their way had disappeared.

“Was there something just now...?”

She looked back blankly, only to see the large shopping mall behind her split in half as if by a giant axe.

That night, when Gu Qinghan took Luo Mu to play by the sea, he had tested these skills.

But there were no Mutated Creatures in the sea at the time, and he didn't dare to attack Luo Mu with full force, so he couldn't intuitively understand the power of Deaths Touch.

But now, he had experienced it.

This Emperor-level existence possessed power that could destroy heaven and earth.

And this was with Gu Qinghan unable to unleash its full power; if Deaths Touch were in its peak state, it would be even more terrifying.

It was also at this moment that Gu Qinghan gained a newfound reverence for that Giant Whale.

Shaking off the distracting thoughts in his mind, Gu Qinghan looked at the approaching Torres, killing intent surging like a tide.

“This is impossible!”

Torres was running ahead, and when he looked back and saw his life-saving method so easily broken, he almost fainted.

But very quickly, he revealed an expression of despair.

Because at this moment, the distance between Gu Qinghan and him was already very close, and even the remaining six tentacles directly began to grab at Torres.

Torres moved quickly, and the speed of the blood-red threads he shot out also increased significantly.

But Gu Qinghan would absolutely not give him any chance to escape, directly blocking all his escape routes with six tentacles.

Torres exerted all his strength, severing three of the tentacles, but was still entangled around the waist by one.

Immediately, his momentum of escape halted, and he was left dangling in mid-air.

His grayish-white spider legs on his lower body immediately flailed, trying to free him.

However, the remaining two tentacles wrapped around him like pythons, binding him tightly.

Gu Qinghan stopped a dozen meters away from Torres and raised his chin.

“Run, why aren’t you running now?”
