447: Chapter 446 The Road to Departure

The condensation of each Slash only consumed 10 points of spirituality value, plus the 5 points of spirituality value attached for the Fire of Nirvana.

Three consecutive Slashes consumed a total of 45 points of spirituality value.

Wrapped in the Fire of Nirvana, they were like black blades shimmering with cold light, leaving bone-chilling wounds on Li Na's head, neck, and waist/abdomen.

The Fire of Nirvana hissed and burned.

The next second, Li Na's figure dissipated like a bubble.

[You have killed an Eerie Clone, your spirituality value +100]

[You have received damage from a Slash, your health points -2]

[Current health points: 5298]

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

This result was not much different from his expectations.

This was the weakest degree of Slash he could use; not to mention a level 10 Transcendent, as long as one's stamina attribute reached 70 points, even if a vital point was struck, it might not necessarily kill the opponent.

But the true damage added by the Fire of Nirvana was different.

[Fire of Nirvana LV.5: You need to consume spirituality value, with a maximum consumption of 5 points per second, to make your attacks carry the Fire of Nirvana, and cause additional true damage to the burned target equivalent to 50% of your attack, and this true damage is not less than 5 times the spirituality value you consume per second.

The burned target will suffer intense pain in both body and Soul, and when taking damage, an equal amount of spirituality will be burned and absorbed by you; when the target completely loses their spirituality, the damage caused by the Fire of Nirvana will be increased by 50%; when the target dies, the target's spirituality value will be instantly burned away, and the Dark World cannot recover it.]

This Eerie Clone that condensed into Li Na had no excess spirituality value; even if the damage dealt by the Slash to the opponent was only "0", the true damage caused by the Fire of Nirvana was still around 37-38 points.

Three consecutive Slashes, yet the opponent only had 100 health points, making it easy to kill her.

As for the consumed spirituality value, Chu Xuan had previously killed the Minotaur, Shen Ba, Longshan, and others in succession, and at this moment, he possessed over 14,000 points of spirituality value.

A hundred or eighty points of spirituality value were already not worth mentioning to the current Chu Xuan.

Moreover, killing an Eerie Clone could also yield 100 points of spirituality value; calculating it overall, he actually made a profit of 55 points of spirituality value.

Not a loss!

However, what surprised Chu Xuan was that he only felt the Slash applied to his body, but did not perceive the true damage caused by the Fire of Nirvana to himself.

"This ability to return attacks to the caster might only be aimed at physical attacks, or perhaps it is because the Fire of Nirvana is ineffective against me..."

Chu Xuan raised his hand and lightly stroked his neck with his fingertips, leaving only a faint bloodstain.

The Slash on his neck caused him 2 points of damage to his health points, equivalent to 0.0377% of his total health points.

As for the Slashes on his head and waist/abdomen, they did not cause any damage, having only a slight stinging sensation, like being scratched by the tip of a toothpick before he became a Transcendent.

After experiencing it firsthand, Chu Xuan had a plan in mind and no longer had any scruples, immediately taking the lead and continuing toward the second floor.

"You have finally arrived!!"

Just as they reached the second floor, angry shouts rang out from the corridors on both the left and right sides. The Double Cannon Brothers materialized, coming from both left and right, and while still twenty or thirty meters away, they had already gathered their strength and punched out.

Before the fists even arrived, there was a booming sound of vibration, and everyone present felt their bodies stiffen slightly, as if suppressed by an invisible force.

Everyone was just about to dodge or block.

Clang!!

Six Slashes flew toward the left and right.

The Slashes were directly dispersed by the fists, but the remaining Fire of Nirvana caused fatal true damage.

While still halfway there, the two turned into black shadows and dissipated, leaving only faint echoes reverberating in the area and some black stains left on the ground.

[Your spirituality value +200]

Chu Xuan rubbed his fist, feeling a slight, imperceptible stinging sensation on his knuckles; this time, his health points did not decrease.

"No way, Boss Chu, are you actually this fierce?"

Cai Hou was completely stunned: "Even if they only had 100 health points, they shouldn't be this fragile, right?"

The rest of the group was equally shocked.

Chu Xuan lowered his eyes slightly.

How could these people know that the true damage of the Fire of Nirvana had always been Chu Xuan's greatest trump card against S-rank Specters before he ascended in rank.

Whether it was the Night Demon, the King, or the hospital security guards, as well as the Debt-Collecting Ghost, they were basically all worn down to death.

Especially the instant casting of All-Cutting Slash and the large-scale, dense group attacks, which pushed the power of the Fire of Nirvana to the extreme.

He could have also chosen not to use Slashes and instead engaged in close combat to kill the Eerie Clones.

The power used to kill these Eerie Clones, when acting on Chu Xuan himself, was only equivalent to a tickle.

However, this place was eerie after all, and the lingering black stains left behind after they dissipated upon death were unknown; it was better not to touch them and to kill them from a distance.

"Let's go."

Chu Xuan uttered only one word and continued to lead the group downstairs, soon arriving at the first floor.

As he stepped onto the ground, figures condensed out of the darkness ahead.

They were the deceased Minotaur, Longshan, Shen Ba, as well as Li Na and the Double Cannon Brothers, and so on. In addition to them, there were also the others from the Longshan Squad who had died on the Mountain Road earlier.

A total of thirteen people!

These many figures all appeared at this moment, surrounding the group at the staircase.

"So many people..." Cai Hou asked in a deep voice: "Even if you kill them all, Boss Chu, can you withstand the returned attack damage?"

"Remove the last word." Chu Xuan waved his hand, and the Slashes already condensed within his body were instantly released.

The sound of clanging rang out.

All evil dissipated!

He gained another thousand or so points of spirituality value; after deducting the consumption of Slashes and the Fire of Nirvana, he still earned over 700, a small profit.

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth curled up slightly.

He already had a rough idea of the Specter's plan here; it was clearly trying to wear down his health points through the attack return ability.

But unfortunately, the Slashes Chu Xuan just unleashed deliberately avoided the vital parts of those people, and he basically killed them with the true damage of the Fire of Nirvana.

Acting on Chu Xuan himself, he remained completely unharmed.

Chu Xuan glanced indifferently at the black stains scattered everywhere after the Eerie Clones died, and suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.

These things might really be problematic...

In the midst of his thoughts, Chu Xuan glanced at Fat Pig and the thin monkey; when they had just killed their opponents, they had gotten some black stains on their feet.

Looking closely now, those black stains were concentrated on the edges of their soles, just like stepping on a layer of black ink.

Their appearance was not very clear under the dim light of the desk lamp; even if one looked carefully, it was difficult to notice.

"What's wrong?" Cai Hou asked confusedly.

"It's nothing." Chu Xuan shook his head calmly; at this moment, he didn't know exactly what problems those things had, and saying more would be useless.

Before long, Chu Xuan had led the group to the front door on the first floor.

"Huh? Xuan Xuan didn't seem to appear just now, did she?" Lin Liguo frowned.

"Xuan Xuan didn't die; she escaped." Cai Hou had long known about this from Chu Xuan and immediately clarified it for the group.

Everyone suddenly realized.

Immediately afterward, upon learning that there was actually a "Death Immunity Token" capable of escaping the mandatory erasure punishment, people were not only amazed but also couldn't help but feel envious.

While everyone was talking, Chu Xuan raised his hand and grabbed the doorknob to open the door.

However, it didn't budge at all.

"Let me try!"

Lin Liguo shouted in a low voice, stepped forward, and grabbed the doorknob, but no matter how he pushed or pulled, it had no effect at all.

"Move aside, watch me, Fat Pig Charge!" Fat Pig roared, but he ended up bumping himself until he was dizzy and disoriented.

"Let me see if I can try digging underground!"

Cai Hou's figure spun around and sank into the ground, disappearing, but after a few seconds, he crawled back out from the side of the door.

"It doesn't work! There is a barrier in front; no matter how I move forward, I can't get through..." Cai Hou's expression was very ugly.

Afterward, the group joined forces again, but it was still useless.

Unable to leave!

Everyone's hearts sank again, and a trace of gloom couldn't help but arise.

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a short while, he suddenly thought of something and abruptly looked up at the stairs.

"The path to leave is on the rooftop!"
