I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 316 - Devil Sacrifice


Under the dark purple sky, a black figure, like an arrow released from a bowstring, streaked across the low altitude. The air current generated by his Night Demon Wings created fleeting white streaks in the demonic energy.Li Qi gritted his teeth, tasting a faint metallic tang of blood on his tongue. The wound on his back was still seeping, a fresh scrape from the silver-winged demon's sharp claws."Damn it!" he roared, his wings accelerating violently, leaving afterimages in the air.Yet, the dozen or so silver lights behind him remained like ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) shadows. The silver-winged demons flapped their wings at an astonishing speed, the sharp whistling of their wingtips cutting through the air like countless small knives at his ears.When the demonic tide erupted, he was lurking in a crevice of the cliff on the outskirts of the Demon Cave. Originally, under the cover of the surging demonic energy, even high-level demons would have difficulty detecting his presence, but a destructive demonic light, part of those damned demons' internal conflict, exploded outside the crevice, causing his vital energy to churn and his spiritual energy to fluctuate uncontrollably for an instant.That single moment of fluctuation was like a torch lit in the dark, instantly igniting the bloodlust of all the surrounding demons.The demons, who had been tearing at each other, suddenly stopped and turned their heads in unison towards the crevice. The next second, all of them lunged towards his hiding place.Li Qi quickly burst out of the crevice, immediately manifesting his Night Demon Wings and ascending into the air.He dared not pause for a moment, nor even look back. Under the demonic tide's amplification, the demons' aura was several times more ferocious than usual. The sheer number of dense, red heat signatures within his Perception range was enough to make his scalp tingle.But he had underestimated these silver-winged demons.These creatures had faces as black as ink, with only their eyes a venomous emerald green. Their silver wings were as thin as cicada wings, yet their edges were sharp enough to cleave rock.Their speed defied logic. Li Qi had pushed his Night Demon Wings to their limit, yet he still couldn't shake off this group of silver-winged demons."Fufufu—"A strange laugh came from behind, like rusty iron scraping, carrying a chilling mockery.Li Qi sharply dodged sideways, narrowly avoiding a demonic claw strike. The claw marks left three scorched imprints in the air before his chest.He could feel the scorching pain even through his clothes.Just as he was about to counterattack, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a shadow flashing low on his left.Three wingless lava demons were crouched on the rock wall, spewing three pillars of magma. The sulfur-scented flames traced three arcs through the demonic energy, precisely blocking his escape routes."This is bad!" Li Qi's heart sank. He could only force himself to ascend higher, but that half-second delay allowed the silver-winged demons behind him to catch up."Lah!"A silver wing, like a blade, swept across his back. His night suit was instantly torn open with three bone-deep gashes. Blood spurted out, leaving a crimson trail in the night sky.The intense pain made Li Qi's wings tremble, and his flight path became momentarily erratic.This momentary instability became a fatal flaw.The roar of flapping wings suddenly came from his right. Seven more silver-winged demons burst out from an oblique angle. They fanned out to encircle him, their silver wings interlocking to form an impenetrable silver net.The claws glowed with a faint blue demonic light, clearly indicating they were highly venomous.Even more terrifying was the ground. Countless demonized worms were burrowing out of the earth, spitting out viscous fluid that transformed into poisonous webs in the air. Dozens of goat-horned demons, wielding giant axes, let out deafening roars at the sky, and demonic energy condensed into spheres above their heads, clearly brewing area-of-effect attacks.In Li Qi's perception, the dense red dots had already merged into a single mass, trapping him in the center, like a death net about to tighten."Boss, I can't hold on much longer!" His face was pale, and he screamed frantically in his mind.The leader of the silver-winged demons behind him let out a piercing shriek. All the silver-winged demons accelerated simultaneously, the sharp tearing sound of their claws through the air converging into a prelude to death.Li Qi suddenly turned, crossing his Night Demon Wings in front of him like a shield, while simultaneously pouring all his remaining spiritual energy into his wings. He knew he couldn't escape. He could only use his last ounce of strength to buy even a second for Qin Tian's arrival.Just as the silver wings were about to touch him, he vaguely saw a silver light flash from his side.Puff~The anticipated intense pain didn't arrive. Instead, a warm energy flowed through his meridians, and the tearing wound on his back healed at a visible speed.Li Qi spread his palm, looking at the faint green halo lingering on his fingertips. He knew whose power this was.He turned his head and saw Qin Tian hovering beside him. Countless dark green vines interwoven into a translucent shield, blocking all the silver-winged demons' claws and the lava demons' magma pillars."Boss." Li Qi lowered his head in shame, his ear tips burning. If Qin Tian hadn't arrived in time, he would probably have become the demons' blood-food, and his supposed stealth reconnaissance would have been a joke."You go first." Qin Tian's voice was calm and unwavering, but the hand gripping his shoulder held an undeniable strength. "Leave the rest to me."Before he finished speaking, Li Qi felt a silver flash before his eyes, and he was thrown into a swirling Gate of Void.The moment the Gate of Void closed, the green vine shield suddenly dissipated, turning into countless specks of light.Qin Tian slowly turned. His black sniper rifle, Hidden Kill, was already held across his chest. Dark gold patterns flowed along the gun body, and a faint sense of excitement emanated from within the barrel.He surveyed his surroundings. A dozen or so silver-winged demons hovered high in the sky, their faint blue venom dripping from their claws, corroding the air into trails of green smoke. On the black earth below, the poisonous webs spat out by the demonized worms had woven into a dome. The goat-horned demons, holding burning giant axes, had roars rumbling in their throats, about to erupt.The dense red dots pulsed in his heat signature sense, like a red-hot giant net, surrounding the sky impenetrably.Seeing this, Qin Tian's lips slowly curved into a smile. His dark purple pupils glowed astonishingly in the demonic energy:"Finally, I've arrived at the battlefield most suitable for me."Boom!The moment his words fell, the surrounding demonic energy was drawn by an invisible vortex, surging wildly towards his body.Black currents formed a visible vortex around him, rushing madly into his body. That was the Lord of Weapons operating. Although this blue talent couldn't strengthen his physique, it perfectly mimicked the aura of a demon, causing the goat-horned demons below to hesitate and stop their actions. There was less killing intent in their eyes, and more of a peer's scrutiny.Just then, two dense black mists suddenly exploded behind Qin Tian.As the black mists dissipated, a pair of enormous demon king wings slowly unfurled, with a wingspan of five meters, precisely twice as wide as Li Qi's Night Demon Wings.The wing membranes were a deep, dark purple, covered with lightning-shaped golden demonic patterns. They pulsed gently with his breathing, as if alive and flowing with luster. Each wing bone was as thick as an elephant's tusk, yet its tip bore sharp barbs, shimmering with a cold light capable of tearing space.With a gentle flap of the great wings, a majestic pressure spread out, causing the silver-winged demons in the high sky to momentarily stiffen their wing movements.For the first time, surprise appeared in their emerald green pupils. The aura emanating from these wings was even more terrifying than their leader's pressure!Qin Tian's fingers, holding Hidden Kill, moved slightly. The gun body let out a faint hum, as if responding to his battle intent."Today, with your blood—"Qin Tian murmured, his dark purple pupils reflecting the dense demons below, the smile on his lips growing colder, "—I will awaken Hidden Kill's gun soul."With the nurturing of the two purple talents, 【Gun Body Soul】 and Lord of Weapons, Hidden Kill's performance had steadily increased, and a faint spirituality had already been born within it.It was the nascent form of a gun soul.However, for this spirituality to evolve into a true gun soul, a blood sacrifice was still needed.And the demons of the Demon Suppression Abyss were the best offerings.
