Chapter 220: Chapter 219 Worm of Erosion (Nine)_1
Liang Yuntian’s reaction undoubtedly confirmed Fu Qian’s speculation.
Before encountering Fu Qian and Liu Yi, this individual had already devoured someone else.
And it was very likely one of the individuals on the library card.
“Using your own words,”
Fu Qian pointed to his own head.
“Although we are all the chosen, the Chosen Ones also have rankings.”
“Your little tricks, thinking you can fool me, it’s still quite difficult.”
Liang Yuntian’s massive body shook.
“You don’t need to scare me. Before you met me, you probably did the same, right? And where did Liu Yi go?”
“Hmph, I’m not surprised. Once I left, she had only one fate.”
Liang Yuntian sneered.
“Every one of us, when granted these talents, also embraced the desire to devour.”
“In fact, it was because the guy looked at me the wrong way that I struck first to gain the upper hand.”
“But what you said just now is correct, the Chosen Ones do have rankings, and although I took a bigger risk just now, my gains are definitely much greater than yours.”
Fu Qian seriously looked the opponent up and down.
“Remarkable bone structure.”
“What I worried about most just now was that you would run away. I didn’t expect you to be foolish enough to stay here.”
“After running away, you actually dared to come back, it seems you really want to try your luck against me.”
Fu Qian was also unreserved.
Liang Yuntian let out a series of sinister laughter.
The next moment, his body lurched forward in a strange way, launching a punch at Fu Qian.
Sharp bone spikes had grown on his finger joints without notice.
Being hit by this thing would definitely be quite painful.
Fu Qian remarked lightly, easily dodging the strike.
Though imposing, Liang Yuntian was clearly a novice in the art of killing.
His punches and kicks were almost purely instinctual, the intent behind his attacks couldn’t be more clear.
Despite some awkwardness in body control, for Fu Qian, it was still an easy feat, even allowing him to counter with a slap after dodging.
Liang Yuntian’s face was solidly slapped, nearly causing him to stagger.
However, having devoured two people, his resilience to taking hits was obviously not bad.
Merely seconds later, he rallied and surged forward again, entering a state of fury.
Unfortunately, it was still nothing more than an angry, useless flurry of punches.
Without a significant difference in speed, it posed little threat to Fu Qian.
Meanwhile, Fu Qian’s counters while dodging were solid and caused damage that kept accumulating.
Soon, this individual was covered in wounds.
Unable to prevail after a long assault and consumed with rage, Liang Yuntian paused and let out a heart-wrenching roar.
The next instant, sharp bone spikes erupted from every joint on his body.
The white bone spikes rapidly grew and bent, eventually overlapping and covering the surface of his body, forming a suit of bone armor.
The longest dozen or so bone spikes all grew from the spine and now spread out behind him, faintly forming the shape of a pair of wings.
Why do I have this odd sense of déjà vu?
Seeing this transformation, Fu Qian couldn’t help but recall Six-legged Brother’s brain unfolding.
So, the act of “eating” does absorb and integrate some abilities?
“I really have to thank you!”
After transforming, Liang Yuntian’s voice became hoarse.
“I can feel it, the integration with power has progressed even further.”
“This was a qualitative change, the previous me had no understanding of its true nature.”
“Maybe the worm’s leg stretched too long and poked your brain.”
Facing this generosity and passion, Fu Qian inwardly scoffed.
The next moment, with speed that was almost impossible to catch, a sharp spike shot out like lightning from behind Liang Yuntian.
For those with insufficient skill, resort to black tech?
That’s when you reap the consequences of poor control.
Although Fu Qian had anticipated the other’s attack intentions beforehand, his body’s speed clearly couldn’t keep up with his mind.
In a spray of blood, his left shoulder was pierced through.
That was only because he swiftly dodged the vital area; if he’d been any slower, his heart might have been directly punctured.
Liang Yuntian’s laughter was filled with bloodlust.
The very next moment, all the bone spurs on his back stiffened, attacking from all directions.
Speed aside, there was simply no room to dodge such an all-encompassing strike in this narrow space.
Consequently, streaks of blood sprayed out, and in almost an instant, Fu Qian’s body was covered in wounds.
While holding the hole in his neck, Fu Qian looked around at the office, now in ruins.
“This is why you should always lock your door after hours.”
“Your baseless confidence really pisses me off.”
The bone spurs on Liang Yuntian’s back shook, flinging blood in all directions.
“Actually, this confidence isn’t baseless.”
Fu Qian revealed a smile, letting go of the hand holding his neck.
The bleeding had not only stopped, but his neck was now also covered in layer upon layer of Bone Armor.
Without this protection, he could very well have been decapitated just now.
The threat of death seemed to stimulate the “real me,” making the bond with this body even tighter.
Fu Qian had the feeling that if he just pushed a little harder, he could fully synchronize with this body and obtain inconceivable abilities.
Then the current Liang Yuntian would no longer be a threat.
In fact, that’s exactly what he had done just now, only to stop at the last moment.
“Baseless confidence?”
Fu Qian muttered to himself, head lowered as if he had thought of something.
The next moment, with a light scratch from his nails, fresh blood sprayed from the wound on his neck again.
Liang Yuntian was clearly shocked by his actions and paused.
This guy isn’t planning to kill himself, is he?
“Thanks for the reminder.”
“People are always easily misled by their own thoughts.”
“Like your earlier pretentious analysis that led to a laughable conclusion you took for granted.”
“Are the facts that I take for granted really the truth?”
Fu Qian looked at Liang Yuntian in front of him, his fingertips already digging into the wound.
“I am someone who is good at introspection. The phrase ‘baseless confidence’ has led me to an unbelievable truth.”
Liang Yuntian clearly didn’t understand him anymore.
“So I’ve decided to test a possibility, the possibility that a certain truth exists.”
Fu Qian revealed a smile that could only be described as insane, his hand groping in a mass of bloody flesh.
In the throes of severe pain, he could feel his connection to this body on the verge of collapsing.
Finally, his fingers touched something long, sharp, and claw-like.
In that moment, he felt as though he was shaking hands with himself.
“Next, the time has come to witness a miracle.”
Grasping “himself,” Fu Qian fiercely pulled outwards.
