With 4000 paradise coins left, it was a bit too little after buying supplies. Qin Jie hesitated for a moment before contacting Qi Changwei again.
This time, he chose to sell a piece of equipment.
[hol horse's finger knife]
hol horse's finger knife
Quality: Green
Origin: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Naples
Durability: 25 / 25
Attack: 2-5
Equipment Requirements: Intelligence 8+, Agility 12+
Rating: 25
Description: Hol Horse's small knife, tiny and hard to detect, usually worn on a finger.
Price: 2000 paradise coins
Effect: Using this knife to wound someone will forcibly shrink them and apply a negative effect of -3 to Strength, Agility, Vitality, and Intelligence, lasting 120 seconds.
This weapon was somewhat useful in the JoJo world, and it debuffed many attributes, a total of 12 points.
But its damage was simply too low.
Because this weapon required causing a wound to debuff attributes, but Qin Jie tried it on himself; with his current 30 Vitality, vigorously slashing with this knife couldn't even leave a white mark, making it somewhat useless.
However, its effect was quite good, and low attack power could be enhanced with an Enchantment Spell. It would still be a decent self-defense weapon for a mage.
Qi Changwei's business efficiency was very high; this knife was ultimately sold for 8000, allowing Qin Jie to breathe a sigh of relief as his savings once again reached five digits.
Afterward, Qin Jie chose to stay in the arena. Although his current ranking meant slow matchmaking, he could read the medical books Emma left him during these waiting periods.
In fact, Qin Jie's academic performance in the real world wasn't outstanding, only slightly above average, but now he could delve into abstruse medical texts. It could only be said that this was inseparable from the Paradise's prompts.
[Reading medical book, proficiency +3]
[You have mastered the method of making cold medicine.]
If he had received prompts like "Proficiency +3" or "You have mastered the solution to inequalities" back in school, his grades probably would have improved even more.
Qin Jie sighed.
---A day passed in a flash, and the cooldown for the wrathful demon buddha was also ready.
With anticipation, Qin Jie once again used the wrathful demon buddha and began to challenge the enemy in his heart.
After using it, Qin Jie's vision went black, and a smoky smell wafted over. The surroundings had already transformed into a battlefield engulfed in raging flames.
Heh.
Qin Jie was very familiar with this place. If he wasn't mistaken, he was coming.
The next moment, a heatwave struck. He saw Shura tear through layers of flames and charge directly at Qin Jie. Flames of Hatred burned on his body, and he surprisingly held two Immortal Severance blades in his hands.
Two Sword Qi slashes, one red and one black, came. This Shura had actually used the cover of the flames to charge two Immortal Severance attacks in advance.
The Immortal Severance had an extremely wide attack range, and Qin Jie couldn't dodge in time. In just one encounter, he lost 6 Vitality. After Shura finished slashing in the air, he descended sharply, then gripped his weapons with both hands and slashed directly at Qin Jie.
This desire to attack was much stronger than the original.
Facing Shura descending from the sky, Qin Jie directly parried with his sword. The enhanced Parry had immense force, instantly sending Shura flying and tumbling into the fire.
Flames couldn't harm Shura; Qin Jie naturally knew this. Without a shield at this moment, he couldn't directly charge into the fire. So, Qin Jie activated Hunting Perspective, guarding against Shura rushing out of the fire again.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A large number of shurikens flew out from the flames. Qin Jie switched to the greatsword, swung it down, and all the shurikens were absorbed. Then, with a sudden flick, all the shurikens returned the way they came.
Since the opponent was unwilling to come out of the fire, Qin Jie would try a different approach.
Summoning the Sword Shadow, both the real and the fake simultaneously drew the decayed emissary and began to continuously fire in the direction locked by Hunting Perspective. A large number of bullets shot out like a swarm of locusts. With the boost from Hunting Perspective, locking onto Shura's position wasn't difficult.
It was just that the accuracy was a bit off.
If only he had a firearm specialization.
Qin Jie sighed.
However, even if the accuracy wasn't great, a total of eighteen bullets were bound to hit a few times no matter what. The characteristic of the decayed emissary was that it could weaken the opponent as long as it hit.
But the Wolf still didn't emerge from the fire. It seemed the enemy in his heart had much higher combat intelligence than Qin Jie had imagined.
Heh.
If he didn't come out, then he would keep shooting.
Qin Jie and Sword Shadow directly reloaded bullets at the cost of one layer of decay, firing another eighteen shots.
If this continued, the decay on the Wolf would eventually turn into debilitation, and at that point, one layer of debilitation would be 30% of maximum health damage.
Qin Jie really didn't believe the Wolf could hold his breath in the fire.
Sure enough, just as the bullets ran out and he was about to reload, the two Immortal Severance slashes, one black and one red, reappeared. But Qin Jie was already prepared this time; the health consumed by summoning Sword Shadow directly transformed into a shield, blocking this slash.
However, the shield also shattered under this slash. The next moment, the Wolf's figure charged out from the fire, his eyes glowing red. Qin Jie remembered this red glow.
The same as the Red Eyes Ogre.
Did the Wolf consume a red-eyed bead?
Qin Jie only then realized, and judging by the Wolf's appearance, it might not just be a red-eyed bead, but also the spirit possession of Yaksha Massacre.
"Clang!"
The Wolf's primary target was not Qin Jie, but Sword Shadow.
Their weapons clashed. At this moment, the Wolf's attributes had already increased significantly. In just an instant, Sword Shadow was diagonally cut from the left shoulder to the lower right, slain on the spot.
After slaying Sword Shadow, the Wolf's ninja blade immediately parried backward, blocking Qin Jie's incoming slash.
Even with a significant increase in attributes, the Wolf was only able to avoid being sent flying by this attack.
The two exchanged blows at inhuman speed, devouring abyss clashing with kusabimaru, erupting in a shower of sparks.
The Wolf's stature was short, and every attack was extremely tricky, aimed at vital points. Moreover, with the boost from the red-eyed bead, his attributes surged, seemingly overpowering Qin Jie. Fortunately, the greatsword form of devouring abyss had a pulling effect; as long as Qin Jie could swing the greatsword before the Wolf's attack arrived, he could deflect the opponent's attack.
For a time, neither side gained an advantage. The Wolf was the first to change; a large burst of fire suddenly erupted from his hand, followed by a string of firecrackers that immediately exploded. The battlefield was instantly filled with smoke, and the Wolf took the opportunity to conceal his figure.
Qin Jie had Hunting Perspective, so even if his vision was obstructed, he could still pinpoint the Wolf's location, though he couldn't see his movements clearly.
At this moment, the Wolf was—right behind him!
Qin Jie suddenly thrust his sword backward, but unexpectedly, this swift strike didn't hit the enemy. The greatsword blade of devouring abyss was actually stepped on by the Wolf, who then advanced directly by stepping on devouring abyss, his ninja blade, kusabimaru, slashing directly at Qin Jie's throat.
Qin Jie covered his throat with one hand, then roared, gripping the hilt of devouring abyss and flipping the Wolf off the blade.
Before being flipped, the Wolf's kusabimaru directly severed three of Qin Jie's fingers and left a shallow wound on his throat.
He almost slit Qin Jie's throat on the spot.
