515: They stole the treasure and fled!
The wheel of destiny still stood quietly in place, with Qian Yuanqing laughing so hard he was bent over, and Gu Qinghan looking somewhat solemn.
Gu Qinghan absolutely could not accept the punishment of all skill costs being doubled.
Perhaps for others, the effect of this punishment was nothing, but for him, this effect was truly difficult to bear.
“Is there any way to remove this effect?”
Gu Qinghan ignored Qian Yuanqing, who was now gasping for air from laughter, and silently pondered in his heart.
The rootless fruit might be able to remove this effect, but the Masked Man had said before that each person could only use the rootless fruit once.
Even if Gu Qinghan accepted several more punishments and then used the rootless fruit to eliminate these negative restrictions, would he then no longer use the wheel of destiny in the future?
Gu Qinghan was a bit greedy; a huge treasure was laid out before him, and he didn't want to give up such an opportunity.
However, these uncertain negative effects gave him a massive headache, and could even cause his combat power to plummet.
“If only I could transfer these negative effects, then I would only enjoy the benefits brought by the wheel of destiny…”
Gu Qinghan thought this, but quickly remembered something.
He could use the power of curses; could he use this curse to transfer the negative effects he possessed to his enemies?
He didn't have such a skill currently, but who was to say he wouldn't in the future?
It was at this moment that the Giant Palace, which had been relatively calm, suddenly began to tremble violently.
Seeing this, Gu Qinghan immediately put away the wheel of destiny and also recalled Gu Qingyuan.
Qian Yuanqing also stopped his wild laughter, his expression serious as he looked over.
The majestic palace was now shaking frantically, huge stones crashing down with a rumbling sound, like the end of the world.
Within a few seconds, a group of figures rushed out, followed closely by another group of figures pursuing them.
Among those in pursuit, Gu Qinghan saw a golden figure—that was Chu Tian.
At this moment, Chu Tian's upper garment was completely shattered, and faint cracks were visible on his skin, from which golden light emanated, revealing immense power.
However, Chu Tian was continuously attacking the group of people in front, seeming very angry.
Chu Tian was clearly not a Cleric, yet his combat power had always been very high, even comparable to a High-level Cleric in actual combat.
The reason for this phenomenon was Chu Tian's continuously unsealed layers of seals.
Each time he leveled up, Chu Tian could release some of his power, but at this moment, Chu Tian had clearly exceeded his current limit.
Behind Chu Tian followed a group of Chinese Clerics, all of whom bore injuries, but their expressions were incredibly grim.
Because the items dropped by the Lord of the Secret Realm they had just killed had been snatched!
It seemed to be a somewhat incomplete medal, and another item that the crowd hadn't seen clearly, but it was directly stolen by a foreign Cleric.
Things happened too quickly; by the time the Clerics from China and several other countries reacted, this person had already rushed out of the Giant Palace.
Moreover, this person's teammates had conserved their strength beforehand, and with careful planning against unpreparedness, they caught everyone off guard.
Chu Tian had originally wanted to unseal himself again, but he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front.
That seemed to be… Gu Qinghan!
“Gu Qinghan! Stop them! They stole the stuff!”
Chu Tian's voice carried anger, but also a sense of relief.
If Gu Qinghan was there, then there was still a chance for things to turn around.
This man had brought too many miracles, and as these miracles became more frequent, it instilled an almost unconditional trust in him.
Gu Qinghan glanced at Qian Yuanqing next to him and said:
“There are quite a few of them; let's attack together.”
There were at least a dozen Clerics being chased; it was unlikely for Gu Qinghan to confront them head-on.
What's more, his current consumption was doubled.
Qian Yuanqing nodded, and then the shadow beneath him quickly disappeared.
Gu Qinghan also immediately released his subordinates, forming a siege around these Clerics.
“Get lost! Or I'll kill you!
Five-fold Enlargement, Holy Skill, Qi Burst!”
The leader of the fleeing group roared in anger upon seeing this.
At the same time, the air in front of him suddenly condensed rapidly, then violently exploded, creating a blast wave with a radius of over a hundred meters!
With this blast wave, Gu Qinghan's Death Knights were immediately sent flying.
Even the Dragon Bear, as huge as a mountain, was forced back several steps by this immense force before it could barely stabilize itself.
Gu Qinghan's expression changed; he seemed to have heard the word “Enlargement” just now?
Did the opponent also have an item like his own?
Qian Yuanqing clenched his hand slightly, as if grabbing a rope from a distance, and let out a low shout:
“Holy Skill, Shadow Bind!”
From the shadows of the fleeing people, a large quantity of black threads suddenly surged out, rapidly coiling around them.
This bizarre attack method clearly caught these people off guard, but soon someone in the crowd released a group crowd control removal skill.
The black threads on everyone loosened, and were quickly broken by these Clerics.
Qian Yuanqing's face turned pale; he was already injured, and distributing his skill among so many Clerics was a bit too much.
However, thankfully, his and Gu Qinghan's obstruction had an effect, and Chu Tian and the others had already caught up with their pursuers.
“Holy Skill, Floating Cloud Sword!”
The Bai family Cleric whom Gu Qinghan had seen before made his move; he unleashed a cloud of mist, from which layers of sword shadows erupted.
These sword shadows enveloped several Clerics like mist, and the illusory attacks immediately threw them into a panic.
And the other Clerics also attacked one after another, but at this moment, the Cleric who had snatched the spoils of war once again released a skill:
“Eight-fold Enlargement, Holy Skill, Wind Surge!”
In an instant, a tornado dozens of meters in diameter unfolded with that person as the center, even sending the Clerics who were about to act flying.
Gu Qinghan was also thrown back by the immense wind force, but he stared intently at the guy who used the skill.
This guy pulled out a magic potion bottle and drank it all at once, indicating a massive consumption.
But Gu Qinghan's eyes gradually became fervent; the effect the opponent used was definitely the Enlargement effect he had used before.
And it seemed he could even control the Enlargement multiplier!
Evidently, the consumption after Enlargement was enormous, but the resulting effect made Gu Qinghan incredibly envious.
Without even thinking, this must have been snatched from the Giant Palace, otherwise, everyone wouldn't have had such a difficult fight before.
The guy in the wind vortex, aided by his teammates, was rapidly recovering with the help of the howling tornado.
The wind vortex could temporarily block most skills, and those that did break through would have their power greatly reduced, quickly being fended off by those people.
Gu Qinghan's eyes suddenly turned green; the Soul Blade, which had not been used until now, finally found its purpose.
