Chapter 55 The Anomaly: The Effects of the Dark Blood Potion!
A chill instantly spread throughout the entire cave, causing the surrounding temperature to drop by dozens of degrees.
This 5th-rank Martial Artist's talent and Origin Power were both of the ice attribute.
With a flash of his body, his speed was startlingly fast as his battle saber, carrying a bone-chilling cold, slashed toward Chu Han's neck.
"Ice Slash!"
The blade's light transformed into a white streak as it attacked, and Chu Han immediately swung the battle saber in his hand to meet it.
"Clang!"
The battle sabers collided, producing a crisp metallic clashing sound.
The chill on the opponent's blade met Chu Han's fire attribute Origin Power, instantly forming a cloud of white mist.
Chu Han felt a slight vibration and a frigid chill travel through his arm.
The dark red energy within the Lava Crystal Armor flowed rapidly, quickly dispelling this chill.
The Lava Crystal Armor greatly increased his defense and strength, allowing him to hold his own against a 5th-rank Martial Artist without being disadvantaged.
"What?!"
Feeling the scorching aura coming from the blade, the 5th-rank Martial Artist's expression changed drastically, and he let out an incredulous cry.
He hadn't expected Chu Han's strength to be so great after activating his talent!
"Could your talent be S-rank?!"
Chu Han didn't answer. Holding his blood shadow battle saber, he took the initiative to attack the opponent.
The battle saber was empowered by fire attribute Origin Power, with every strike containing violent flame power.
He used the Raging Wind Blade Technique to attack the opponent fiercely, clashing violently with the opponent's ice weapon.
For a time, red and white light constantly collided within the cave—a duel between cold and heat.
Chu Han's Raging Wind Blade Technique had already reached the Realm of Peak Mastery, each strike faster than the last.
With the support of immense strength, he forced the 5th-rank Martial Artist back repeatedly, soon exposing a flaw.
Chu Han spotted the opening and flicked the opponent's battle saber away with his own, leaving him completely exposed.
"Take this punch!"
Seizing the opportunity, Chu Han condensed a large amount of fire attribute Origin Power in his other hand and threw a punch!
"Not good! This punch is dangerous!"
The 5th-rank Martial Artist was terrified and hurriedly gathered all his ice attribute Origin Power to form an ice wall in front of him.
"Mystic Ice Wall!"
"Flame Burst Fist!"
Chu Han's fist of flames slammed heavily into the Mystic Ice Wall, and a massive amount of fire instantly exploded.
With a "crack," the majestic flame energy instantly shattered the Mystic Ice Wall and consumed the 5th-rank Martial Artist.
The entire cave passage was transformed into a sea of fire.
"Ah!"
Screams echoed from within the flames.
Aside from the 5th-rank Martial Artist consumed by the fire, the other low-rank Martial Artists watching were not spared either.
Chu Han released his Mental Energy and discovered through the flames that the 5th-rank Martial Artist's Yuan Qi Armor was rapidly melting, and the man was using the cover of the fire to flee toward the cave entrance.
"Trying to escape!"
Chu Han instantly charged through the sea of fire and gave chase.
The battle saber in his hand traced a red glow. "Seven Forms of Army Breaking, Fifth Form!"
"Ah!"
Accompanied by a scream of despair, the 5th-rank Martial Artist's body was split in two by Chu Han.
On the blood shadow battle saber, the crimson droplets of blood were instantly evaporated by the heat.
Chu Han stood with his saber, looking like a god or demon!
The surviving Black Crow Organization Martial Artists watched this scene, their eyes filled with nothing but intense fear.
In the blink of an eye, the leader and two 5th-rank Martial Artists had been killed by this person! Additionally, he had killed a large number of 4th-rank and Third-Tier Martial Artists.
Such a record left them with no desire to fight whatsoever.
"Run!"
No one knew who shouted first, but the remaining Black Crow members immediately fled frantically toward the depths of the cave like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow.
Seeing this, Chu Han let out a long breath, and the Lava Crystal Armor on his body disappeared.
The battle just now had been extremely taxing for him.
Especially when clashing with the 5th-rank Martial Artist, constantly drawing upon the fire attribute Origin Power within the Lava Crystal Armor had pushed it almost to its limit.
The battle had also taken a significant toll on his physical strength; after deactivating the Lava Crystal Armor, Chu Han suddenly felt a wave of soreness throughout his body.
"It seems I need to adapt to the symptoms of using the Lava Crystal Armor in the future; otherwise, it could be fatal at a critical moment."
"I should recharge the laser gun first."
Chu Han immediately took the laser gun and a lower-grade energy crystal out of his space ring. After a dozen seconds, the laser gun's energy was full once again.
With this fully charged laser gun, Chu Han felt much more confident. As long as he didn't encounter a 6th-rank powerhouse, he could take them down with a single gun!
Having done all this, his gaze turned toward the iron door of the research lab.
"Next, it's time to save people."
He gripped his battle saber and walked quickly toward the research lab's iron door.
The iron door had been shut by the Black Crow Leader when he came out, and it was now locked with a password lock. Chu Han had to destroy the lock to get inside.
Chu Han gathered his strength and prepared to use the Explosive Fist to forcibly destroy the iron door.
But just as his fist was about to touch the iron door, a hair-raising aura suddenly came from behind him!
"Boom!"
The Black Crow Leader, who had been lying on the ground after being shot by the laser, suddenly erupted with dense black primordial energy that quickly spread throughout the cave.
The bloody hole in his chest where the laser gun had pierced was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even his aura was skyrocketing, returning to the level of a 5th-rank Peak in almost an instant!
"Not good!"
Chu Han was shocked. As soon as he turned around, overwhelming black primordial energy surged toward him.
"Bang!"
Chu Han didn't even see the figure within the black mist before he was struck by a massive force, his body slamming hard against the research lab's iron door, leaving a human-shaped indentation on it.
"Pfft!"
Chu Han spat out a mouthful of blood and noticed a pitch-black palm print on his chest.
In the next second, the Origin Power released from the black palm print was like maggots on a bone, frantically penetrating Chu Han's body.
The sparse Origin Power in his body was also instantly corroded by this black primordial energy, causing him intense pain.
"What ability is this?"
Chu Han was horrified. Ignoring his physical exhaustion, he forcibly activated his Lava Crystal Armor.
Black crystals covered his entire body as he tried to use the fire attribute Origin Power within to suppress the black primordial energy in his body.
But as soon as his fire attribute Origin Power touched the black primordial energy, it was instantly corroded and became part of the black primordial energy itself.
"How is this possible? My Origin Power is actually acting as fuel for this black primordial energy!"
He immediately deactivated his talent to prevent the black primordial energy from continuing to increase.
Fortunately, his Dantian could not store Origin Power, so the damage from the black primordial energy was only within his Meridians.
At that moment, the Black Crow Leader's figure gradually became clear.
Chu Han looked at the Black Crow Leader, his eyes full of shock.
Not only had the opponent been resurrected, but his injuries were completely healed, and the black primordial energy around him was denser than before, even carrying a hint of eerie vitality.
The Black Crow Leader cracked his neck, making a "cracking" sound.
The eyes beneath the white mask stared fixedly at Chu Han, his tone carrying a bit of surprise: "Interesting. You can still stand after being hit by my Origin-Eroding Palm. You really are quite strong."
"Someone else was hit by this move today and escaped. Do you think you can get away?"
When the Black Crow Leader spoke of the person who escaped, the killing intent in his eyes suddenly intensified, as if it were tangible.
"Someone else?"
Chu Han hadn't expected anyone else to be able to escape after being hit by this move; their strength must be anything but simple.
He gave a cold laugh and said, "I think I can get away!"
The moment the last word was spoken, the laser gun appeared in Chu Han's hand again, its muzzle aimed at the Black Crow Leader.
"You can try and see if this thing can kill me twice. If it doesn't work, this weapon will be mine."
The Black Crow Leader scoffed, and black mist immediately surged around him. black primordial energy erupted instantly, and his aura skyrocketed along with it.
"This is the 6th-rank! You actually hid your strength!"
Chu Han's pupils constricted, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
He didn't dare wait any longer; a 6th-rank Martial Artist's strength far exceeded that of a 5th-rank. If he delayed any further, the laser gun's lethality would become even lower!
"Sizzle!"
The white laser shot out instantly, penetrating the black primordial energy and hitting the Black Crow Leader's body.
This time, the laser failed to pierce through his body, only leaving a charred wound the size of a bowl on the Black Crow Leader's chest, with black blood seeping from it.
In the next second, a scene that shocked Chu Han occurred.
At the charred wound, black primordial energy surged wildly, and the damaged part was regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye!
