Drawing Cards With My Lifespan: Starting By Gamifying Reality - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Closing the Gap (1)
The blood light descended and transformed into Yang Zhichao original body.

At this moment, his clothes were tattered, his face was pale, and his aura was unstable.

There was no doubt that he was heavily injured, and it was even possible that his origin was injured.

However, he did not care about his current situation. He looked at the girl with a fiery gaze.

The girl seemed to have sensed the danger behind her.

She turned her head and saw Yang Zhichao, and her expression suddenly became frightened.

Without saying a word, they ran away.

However, her body was suddenly unable to move.

The blood in her body betrayed her will at this moment.

Instead, she turned around and walked toward Yang Zhichao.

Yang Zhichao smiled.

He opened the jade bottle he carried with him.

Facing the potion in the bottle that emitted a strong fishy smell and stench.

He took a deep breath and showed an expression of enjoyment.

He raised the bottle and swallowed the sticky paste that was glowing with a scarlet light.

“Pa!”

The sound of the jade bottle shattering echoed clearly in the alley.

Immediately, Yang Zhichao’s body began to undergo a strange change.

His skin was covered in a layer of dark red.

Streams of blood flowed under his skin like twisted snakes, protruding and growing.

Soon, his entire body was filled with the raging bloodline, making him look like a monster.

When Su Mo saw this, he could not help but gasp.

This guy actually chose to advance even when there were still pursuers.

Was he crazy?

Considering that the mind of an evil profession might be contaminated by the origin power/energy and become crazy.

It should be very normal for them to do such a thing.

There was also another possibility that he didn’t care about the pursuers at all.

He thought that the pursuers could not interfere with his advancement ritual, so he was so arrogant.

Su Mo did not know what the truth was.

He did not care about the so-called truth.

There was only one thing in front of him, and that was to stop him!

Su Mo took a deep breath and released two light of life to recover his stamina.

Then, he stomped his feet and rushed toward Yang Zhichao.

“finger sword!”

“storm sword!”

“soul-freezing technique!”

Su Mo struck three times.

Yang Zhichao’s body slowed down for a very short moment before he recovered.

The finger sword left a wound on his shoulder.

The storm sword did not even leave a wound.

At this moment, under the effect of the magic drug, he was already infinitely close to the fourth level.

According to the usual usage in fantasy novels, it could even be called Quasi-Tier 4.

Su Mo also did not think that he could kill him so easily.

His target had been the girl beside him from the beginning.

He raised his hand and knocked her unconscious.

He grabbed it and used the instant sword to escape into the distance.

Although he had already used the instant sword many times before.

He even had to bring a burden with him now.

However, the longer he persisted, the more he would be able to endure.

Yang Zhichao’s advancement ritual, which lacked the key materials, was more likely to fail.

Now, it was time to see who could last longer.

“I hope [Super Endurance] can be more powerful!”

Su Mo thought to himself as he slashed out the third instant sword.

Huixin suddenly transmitted a strong sense of danger to him.

Su Mo did not say anything and hugged the girl as he rolled to the side.

In the next second, a shocking explosion sounded.

A huge ravine had been slashed out in the original spot.

Looking at Yang Zhichao, who was holding the purple blood sword, Su Mo was dumbfounded.

Are you the Sword Saint or am I the Sword Saint?

Just as he was about to continue fleeing with the girl, he suddenly felt the blood in his entire body flow in a turbulent manner. He let out a muffled groan.

“This blood manipulation is even further away than before?!”

The girl beside him slowly stood up and walked toward Yang Zhichao like a puppet.

Su Mo’s expression changed, and his eyes became sharp as he raised his sword and slashed at the girl.

“You dare!”

Yang Zhichao, who had always been calm, was instantly enraged.

He pushed the girl away and raised his hand to shatter the sword light.

Seeing this, Su Mo coldly laughed.”

“Why wouldn’t I dare?”

A torrential storm of sword energy erupted from his hand and slashed at the girl not far away.

Yang Zhichao’s expression was fierce as he moved in front of him.

The sword qi immediately left countless wounds on his body.

It looked extremely tragic.

But soon, those wounds were all healed.

Su Mo naturally knew that this move could not do anything to Yang Zhichao.

He only wanted to test the other party’s attitude, and at the same time, he wanted to pave the way for the follow-up killing move.

“Sword Qi Slash!”

This was another Level 3 killing move that he had been hiding for a long time. At the same time, it was also his strongest close-combat killing move at the moment.

The sword slashed at Yang Zhichao with pure white sword Qi as fast as lightning.

Yang Zhichao’s expression changed for the first time. He raised his hand and formed a blood shield.

However, after the sword Qi broke through the blood shield, it still left a huge wound on his body.

Through the wound, one could even see broken bones and twisted blood vessels.

And the recovery speed of his injuries was far inferior to the previous few times.

“You’re courting death!”

Yang Zhichao flew into a rage and was about to launch an attack.

“finger sword!”

Su Mo raised his hand and pointed at the girl not far away.

Yang Zhichao’s expression froze. He quickly rushed to the side and clenched his fist to disperse the sword light.

A bloody wound was left on the back of his hand.

“soul-freezing technique!”

“Sword Qi Slash!”

“finger sword!”

“soul-freezing technique!”

“Sword Qi Slash!”

“finger sword!”

..

Su Mo used the kiting tactic to keep Yang Zhichao hanging, cutting his flesh with a blunt knife.

Every time he wanted to charge up, Su Mo would mercilessly attack the girl.

Even though Yang Zhichao felt aggrieved, he could only protect the girl.

After a few rounds, his entire body was covered in blood.

If not for the blood priest’s powerful self-recovery ability, the blood priest would not have died.

He had long since been tortured to death by Su Mo.

However, the closer he got to being heavily injured, the more wary Su Mo became.

He asked himself if he was faced with such a predicament.

Even if the ritual failed, he had to die together with the enemy.

Therefore, he was prepared to run away at any time.

He could not afford to offend a Quasi-Tier 4 who was going all out.

Just as he was thinking this.

Yang Zhichao, who was not far away, suddenly began to change.

His skin turned from dark red to dark black.

The fingernails on his fingers fell off.

His eyeballs were bulging and bloodshot.

He let out an inhuman-like breath.

His face became extremely distorted like an abstract painting.

“No!”

Yang Zhichao let out a desperate scream.

His entire body suddenly exploded, and countless writhing bloodlines appeared on the ground, as if they were alive.

Su Mo was completely shocked by this strange scene.

He had never thought that the outcome of failing the ritual would be so tragic.

If his advancement ritual also failed…

“No, I can’t! No! I’m a man with a game panel!”

Su Mo consoled himself, but his gaze suddenly froze.

He realized that the lifespan on the interface was actually increasing!!

He could actually absorb the vitality of extraordinary humans?!

In an instant, Su Mo felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Scenes from the past flashed through his mind.

That’s right, the interface never said that only demons could increase lifespan.

It was just that he thought that it was limited to the level of demons.

Any creature with supernatural powers could increase his lifespan.

If that was the case, then this cheat would be quite heaven-defying.

“It’s a pity that Great Chu has already unified the world. The Dawn Society has suppressed the entire Transcendent World.

It would be very difficult for the Extraordinary War from two hundred years ago to happen again.

Even the evil profession were hiding like rats.

It was probably very difficult to increase one’s lifespan by killing supernatural beings.

The big one is still with the demons.”

Su Mo immediately understood.”

“Although it is difficult for demons to appear in this world, and with the supervision of the Bureau of the Chaos, even if they appear, they might not necessarily fall into his hands.

However, as long as he thought of a way to advance to Tier 5 and head to the border to participate in the Origin World War, that would be the time for him to harvest crazily. He might even be able to save enough lifespan to advance to Tier 9.

To others, the border was chaotic and dangerous, but to him, it was a true paradise.

It seemed that he had to hurry up and rush to Tier 5 so that he could reach the border as soon as possible.”

Su Mo made up his mind and suddenly froze.

This was because he realized that the lifespan on his interface was no longer increasing.

In its place, the flesh and blood of Yang Zhichao, who had already died, suddenly twisted and trembled, gathering crazily in one place as if it had a life of its own.

His aura continued to rise during this process, and soon, he broke through Tier 4 and rushed toward Tier 5…

A terrifying monster covered in flesh and blood appeared on the spot.

He opened his mouth and said in an old and gloomy voice,”

“I searched for six years and finally found more than ten suitable candidates. Now, one of them has been destroyed by you.”
