A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

57: A god of wealth descended from the sky!Under Bai Tian’s sharp gaze, the identity of the newcomer was clear.

An NPC, level 57, a being above the Third Transfer, actually intended to plunder a player’s spiritual beast mount.

This scene was unbelievable, as if the game world had overturned common sense.

”What if I refuse to hand over the spiritual beast?”

Bai Tian’s tone was cold. Simultaneously, he unhesitatingly burned 12,800 mana points to bless himself with an indestructible [Cold Abyss Shield], enough to withstand 160,000 damage.

However, the unknown villain’s speed was beyond imagination. Almost at the instant Bai Tian cast the shield, he delivered a sweeping kick with thunderous force.

Bai Tian had no way to dodge and was violently knocked off his horse by this heavy blow.

With a loud bang, Bai Tian’s health bar jumped violently, instantly taking a terrifying 168,000 damage.

Although the Cold Abyss Shield shattered, the unknown villain also suffered 40 times the Rebound damage. He spat out a mouthful of blood and also fell from his horse.

”Re... Rebound?”

The unknown villain’s eyes were full of disbelief. He stared at Bai Tian, seemingly realizing something.

Bai Tian took this opportunity to quickly consume medicinal pills to recover his status, preparing for a life-and-death struggle with this unknown enemy.

Just as Bai Tian was preparing to counterattack, his mount, the Ancestral Return Strange Horse, suddenly attacked, turning into a white flash and charging at the unknown villain.

This was exactly the Ancestral Return Strange Horse’s ultimate technique, [Flying Swallow Kick].

Bai Tian also simultaneously activated [Cold Abyss Burst]. Although his mana was insufficient and it only increased by one tier, its power was still not to be underestimated.

Seeing this, the unknown villain stomped his left foot on the ground, and golden Battle Qi erupted from his entire body, standing as firm as a mountain.

After the Ancestral Return Strange Horse crashed into him, a deafening bang rang out. It didn’t hurt him in the slightest, but instead sent the horse flying backward.

The extreme cold energy released by Bai Tian’s skill, Cold Abyss Burst, struck the unknown villain like a violent storm.

However, surprisingly, this force did not cause him any damage. Instead, it was as if it hit an invisible barrier and was swallowed by the golden Battle Qi surrounding him.

Bai Tian and his spiritual beast joined forces, but despite their best efforts, they still couldn’t break the unknown villain’s defense. All attacks were like a stone sinking into the ocean, leaving no trace.

The unknown villain let out a mocking laugh, his voice like a cold wind in midwinter, piercing and icy.

”Humble otherworld adventurer, you are as weak as an ant. You simply don’t deserve to own a spiritual beast of heaven and earth.”

His words were full of contempt and disdain.

Then, he made a vacuuming motion from a distance. Bai Tian was pulled by an invisible force and instantly appeared in his hand, firmly controlled.

Seeing its master captured, the Ancestral Return Strange Horse let out a heaven-shaking roar of anger and unhesitatingly activated its ultimate move, [Extreme Cold Storm].

The powers of water and wind intertwined, forming a surging storm that headed straight for the unknown villain.

However, facing this powerful attack, the unknown villain only gave a contemptuous smile. With a wave of his bare hand, a burst of golden energy instantly dispersed the Extreme Cold Storm.

He was clearly an NPC with high intelligence. After learning that Bai Tian had the Rebound Talent, he did not choose to continue attacking but instead chose to control Bai Tian.

He looked at Bai Tian mockingly, his tone full of arrogance and confidence.

”Powerless trash, did you think your Rebound would leave me helpless?”

”If you don’t hand over the spiritual beast to me, I will crush you under a giant rock and torture you until you wish for death but cannot find it.”

However, just as he was about to act, a deafening roar suddenly came from Bai Tian’s mouth.

This sonic skill spread out like a hurricane, instantly covering a radius of five hundred meters.

Under the attack of this sound wave, the unknown villain’s body suddenly stiffened, traces of blood flowed from his eyes, and his expression was full of panic and fear.

This was precisely Bai Tian’s S-grade divine skill, [Tiger Roar Shakes Mountains and Rivers].

Although Tiger Roar Shakes Mountains and Rivers successfully stunned the unknown villain, making him unable to take any action for four seconds, the damage caused to him was minimal, only about 16,000.

Bai Tian’s heart tightened. From the look of it, there was no way to kill this bastard.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.

”Horse, come and help me quickly!”

The mount, the Ancestral Return Strange Horse, galloped over like a bolt of lightning.

Bai Tian leaped onto it while grabbing the unknown villain who was still unable to move.

”Charge toward the edge of the cliff at full speed!”

He decisively ordered.

The Ancestral Return Strange Horse immediately increased its speed to the limit, running eighty meters in just two seconds.

A moment before the unknown villain regained his ability to move, Bai Tian had already thrown him violently off the cliff.

”Bastard! You damn kid!”

The unknown villain roared, a crazed light flashing in his eyes.

He knew his life was hanging by a thread, and his wariness of Bai Tian vanished.

He exerted all his strength and blasted a palm strike at Bai Tian from a distance.

With a loud ”boom,” the golden palm force struck Bai Tian’s chest like a flying dagger.

Damage: -469,000!

However, after delivering this palm strike, the unknown villain’s entire body sprayed a mist of blood, suffering 40 times the Rebound.

Damage: -18,760,000!

Bai Tian’s Longevity passive skill played its role again, allowing him to survive without dying.

However, looking at the unknown villain who had fallen off the cliff, Bai Tian’s expression remained tense.

Although he had just rebounded over 18 million of the opponent’s health, the opponent still stubbornly clung to a sliver of health.

The opponent had lost over 22 million health through his Rebounds before and after, yet still hadn’t died.

The strength of an NPC above the Third Transfer was truly shocking.

Bai Tian quickly swallowed several pills to restore his status.

He knew that if this unknown villain didn’t die, he would never have peace.

He had to pull up the roots to eliminate the problem, never allowing any future trouble to remain.

Falling from such a high cliff, even if he didn’t die, the opponent would surely be heavily injured.

Bai Tian firmly believed he had a chance to kill him.

He made up his mind and began searching for a path down the cliff.

Just then, a crisp system notification sounded in his ear:

—”(Ding-dong!)”

”(You have killed the Native Resident villain Lame Old Eighth, gaining 500 Reputation points.)”

Dead?

Lame Old Eighth?

This name made Bai Tian suddenly freeze.

Isn’t he the Warehouse Manager of Border Wild City?

This masked NPC in black was actually Lame Old Eighth?

Bai Tian’s heart was full of doubt and shock.

But soon, Bai Tian looked pained: ”What a pity!”

This bastard was a level 57 existence; he must have died from the fall after hitting the bottom of the cliff.

Because the distance was too far, he didn’t get any experience. Otherwise, he might have leveled up several times in a row.

Did any treasures drop?

Bai Tian couldn’t help but feel a bit of expectation, wondering if this corpse would drop any precious items.

Bai Tian’s eyes flickered, and he unhesitatingly looked for a path down the cliff, hoping to reach the scene as soon as possible to pick up this unexpected harvest.

Just after Bai Tian left on the Ancestral Return Strange Horse and headed down the mountain road.

Two figures suddenly appeared at the previous location, a monk and a Woman. Their appearance was silent, as if they had stepped out of the void.

”Smelly Monk, your second disciple is truly amazing, actually mastering a divine technique of Soul Attack.”

The Woman said coldly.

The monk smiled proudly and replied, ”Of course, a famous teacher produces a fine student.”

”However, this disciple of mine really surprised me. He actually managed to deal with Lame Old Eighth without us having to step in.”

The Woman snorted coldly and said disdainfully, ”Lame Old Eighth didn’t follow the rules; he deserved to die.”

”If we really had to step in just now, his end would have been even more miserable.”

—

Bai Tian was completely unaware of all this.

He was fully focused on finding the path down the cliff, his heart full of expectation and tension.

Half an hour later, hard work paid off, and Bai Tian finally reached the bottom of the cliff.

And he found a corpse that had been smashed beyond recognition, its bones shattered.

Under this mangled corpse, a skill book and a black-and-white cloth bag had also dropped.

Fortunately, the dropped items hadn’t been Refreshed by the system.

Bai Tian was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up these two items.

—[Dragon Capturing Hand] B-grade!

(Consume 1% of health to activate Dragon Capturing Hand, which can forcibly pull a target within 50 yards into your palm and imprison them for 5 seconds.)

Learning conditions: Second Transfer or above, 100 Reputation points.

—[intermediate qiankun bag]!

(Special space-type storage tool.)

Status: Currently ownerless.

This guy is pretty poor!

He’s a level 57 Third Transfer NPC, yet he only dropped these two things.

Bai Tian couldn’t help but curl his lip.

[Dragon Capturing Hand] is a B-grade skill, and it doesn’t seem to have any class restrictions. Can I learn it?

Bai Tian tried to learn it.

—”(Ding-dong!)”

”(You consumed 100 Reputation points and successfully learned the skill [Dragon Capturing Hand]!)”

Haha!

I really can learn it.

Bai Tian smiled. He suddenly had another skill, and it even came with control.

Looking at this intermediate qiankun bag again, there was no other information besides the basic description.

How do I use it?

Bai Tian fiddled with it for a long time but couldn’t figure it out.

How about trying a drop of blood?

On a whim, Bai Tian bit his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood to smear on the intermediate qiankun bag.

—”(Ding-dong!)”

”(Blood recognition successful! You have become the new owner of the [intermediate qiankun bag].)”

This attempt actually succeeded!

Bai Tian was secretly proud. It seemed that the plots in those fantasy novels weren’t groundless.

He couldn’t wait to explore the internal space of the Qiankun Bag. However, the scene before him left him stunned.

Inside the Qiankun Bag, there was actually a vast space large enough to accommodate a high-rise building, and it was cleverly divided into three layers.

On the first layer, gold and silver coins were piled up like mountains. There were so many that it was dazzling; a rough estimate was at least over a million.

This windfall made Bai Tian ecstatic, as if he had become a millionaire overnight.

However, the even more shocking part was yet to come.

In the second layer, countless rare spiritual herbs of heaven and earth and exotic treasures were stored. The lowest grade was a Grade 1 Spiritual Herb.

There were so many that there were actually over ten thousand of them.

The market value of a Grade 1 Spiritual Herb was at least over three thousand, and the total value of over ten thousand spiritual herbs was even more incalculable.

In addition, there were spiritual herbs that surpassed Grade 1. This was undoubtedly a huge fortune.

Although the third layer had fewer items, every single one emitted an enticing spiritual light.

There was a set of equipment flashing with orange light, several mysterious scrolls, and three mysterious Pet Eggs. Every single item was enough to stimulate Bai Tian’s cerebral blood vessels.

—”Hiss!”

Bai Tian ヾ(o◕∀◕)ﾉヾ gasped in excitement.

He had turned a misfortune into a blessing and obtained a massive amount of wealth.

This Lame Old Eighth was simply a God of Wealth from the heavens!

As expected, a horse doesn’t get fat without night grass, and a man doesn’t get rich without windfall wealth!

This time, I’ve really hit the jackpot!

I’m completely ready to take off!

Bai Tian’s hands were trembling as he tried to take out the equipment, Pet Eggs, and so on from the third layer.

—”(Ding-dong!)”

”(Your level is not high enough. You must reach level 40 and complete the Third Transfer before you can take out items from the third layer of the intermediate qiankun bag.)”

You’ve got to be kidding me, right?!

Bai Tian was startled and quickly tried to take out the countless spiritual herbs from the second layer.

—”(Ding-dong!)”

”(Your level is not high enough. You must reach level 30 before you can take out items from the second layer of the intermediate qiankun bag.)”

Hearing the notification, Bai Tian almost stumbled and fell.

What the hell!

In this situation, it’s like a strong man who has used God Oil facing a peerless beauty of devastating beauty; he can only admire her with wide eyes but cannot truly possess her.

This kind of helplessness and longing is simply enough to make one burn with anxiety!
