A black stream of air was like constantly climbing and attaching itself flowing mud to envelop Bordeaux’s entire body.

At this moment, Bordeaux looked like a strange person whose entire body was covered in strange black patterns.

His entire body was filled with a mysterious, desolate aura. He looked like a savage who had walked out from ancient times—looking exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.

“This is Dark Dou Qi?”

“That’s right. I’ve heard that Bordeaux had found a method to train the Dark Dou Qi from an ancient tomb. I didn’t expect it to be true!”

“Shu Ke is dead for sure this time. It’s said that Dark Dou Qi will corrode the flesh and bones once it touches him. It’s very troublesome!”

..

“Dark Dou Qi?”

Shu Ke looked at Bordeaux with some curiosity. Naturally, he knew about Dark Dou Qi.

Dou Qi and magic were divided into different attributes. However, most people’s Dou Qi had no attribute, which was the so-called omnipotence. They could use any kind of fighting technique.

Similarly, this kind of Dou Qi did not have any additional effects on fighting techniques.

However, Dou Qi with attributes were different. They could only use fighting techniques with the same attributes. But at the same time, they would also have corresponding additional effects on fighting techniques. It was said that the highest could have an additional effect of several times—or even ten times the power of a fighting technique without attributes.

In addition, Dou Qi with attributes would often carry some attribute damage. For example, fire-type Dou Qi could cause burning damage to the enemy, while dark-type Dou Qi could corrode the enemy’s physical body—or even soul.

Therefore, many people believed that Dou Qi with attributes was far stronger than those without attributes. However, because Dou Qi with attributes required a unique training method, very few people were able to train it successfully.

At this moment, Bordeaux had used Dark Dou Qi right from the start. Clearly, he wanted to prove to everyone that Bordeaux was not necessarily inferior to Dreyer. The strongest position in the family in this generation might not necessarily belong to Dreyer!

“See? Dark Dou Qi. It has been many years since anyone in the family has successfully cultivated Dou Qi with attributes. It is your honor to be able to die in my hands!”

Bordeaux seemed to enjoy the attention of thousands of people. With an intoxicated expression, he started shouting at Shu Ke.

“Dark Dou Qi is indeed a very good thing. However, this also means that you will be restrained by the fire attribute and light attribute.”

Shu Ke nodded. From Shu Ke’s point of view, after Bordeaux used Dark Dou Qi, his strength had increased considerably. He was probably on par with Vincentius.

However, if it was a life and death battle, Shu Ke believed that Vincentius would definitely be the one to survive in the end. There was no other reason—only because Vincentius’ brain was much better than Bordeaux’s, this was much stronger.

“Hahaha!”

When he heard Shu Ke’s words, Bordeaux looked as though he had heard a huge joke. He immediately laughed towards the sky.

“Fire attribute? Light attribute? Who do you think you are? Do you know how to use these attribute’s fighting techniques?”

“If you don’t know how to use them, then you will only die!”

Bordeaux immediately let out a furious roar—his entire body was like a cannonball as he charged straight towards Shu Ke.

“BANG!!”

Bordeaux heavily punched the ground. Immediately, the black Dark Dou Qi seemed to have come to life. It wildly danced in all directions like a deadly poisonous snake.

A huge pit appeared on the spot. The hard stone ground melted like snow when it met the sun.

Only a layer of black, sticky substance-like mud was left at the bottom of the pit.

“Bordeaux probably has the strength of a high-tier Dou Master. Even Dreyer might not be able to defeat him. It seems that this kid named Shu Ke is in danger.”

Lilia slowly shook her head. Her regretful expression caused Rhode to frown.

“Let’s wait and see. I don’t think Shu Ke is that simple.”

Rhode had always disliked old-fashioned nobles, so he had more expectations for Shu Ke.

However, he also understood that Shu Ke wanted to defeat Bordeaux who possessed the Black Dou Qi.

“Wolf Sword Technique: Fire Wolf Strike!”

After dodging Bordeaux’s attack, Shu Ke landed steadily on the ground. He looked at Bordeaux with a determined gaze as he unsheathed his sword!

The moment the sword was unsheathed, a flash of fire flashed past. The entire blade of the sword was bathed in flames.

The shadow of a wolf appeared behind Shu Ke—along with a high-pitched wolf howl. Its blood-red eyes stared at Bordeaux with a hint of killing intent.

Shu Ke exerted strength under his feet. Instantly, his entire body was like an arrow that had left the bow as he charged straight towards Bordeaux.

“Fire-type?!”

Bordeaux looked at Shu Ke—whose blade was still burning fiercely—and charged straight towards him. A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.

He had never thought that Shu Ke would actually use a fire-type fighting technique.

“Even if you know how to use a fire-type fighting technique, you will still die today!”

Bordeaux let out a furious roar and stomped heavily on the ground with his right foot. Immediately, the Dark Dou Qi around his body began to boil like boiling water.

“Dark Water!”

Under Bordeaux’s control, the Dark Dou Qi continuously surged towards Shu Ke like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, the path that Shu Ke was on had already been filled. As long as Shu Ke stomped on it, the Black Dou Qi would swarm over and corrode him into a pile of white bones.

“Your usage of the Dark Dou Qi isn’t bad. Although this Dark Water is only a basic dark attribute in the fighting technique, it still has a pretty good effect under Bordeaux’s usage.”

Lilia immediately nodded and wasn’t stingy with her praise.

However, Rhode who was beside her—frowned—when he heard this. He looked at Lilia with a strange expression. How could this woman not see who had the upper hand now?

Whoosh!

A fire snake slithered across the ground and burned the water-like dark Dou Qi into an empty space.

At this moment, the road in front of Bordeaux was unobstructed. Shu Ke held a sharp sword bathed in flames and arrived in front of Bordeaux.

“Overconfident ant!!!”

Bordeaux roared and clenched his fists. A large amount of Dark Dou Qi condensed on it. “Undead hand!”

In an instant, Bordeaux’s thick arms seemed to have turned into white bones.

However, on closer look, it was still an arm that was as thick as an ordinary person’s thigh. There were no changes at all.

Shu Ke did not care about this at all. He only pushed the long sword in his hand forward and continued to stab towards Bordeaux’s face.

Bordeaux also roared and swung his fist towards Shu Ke. However, just as he moved, he felt a wave of pain from his ankles. He instantly lost balance and fell heavily onto the ground.

At the same time, Shu Ke’s sword pierced Bordeaux’s throat.

The terrifying flames engulfed Bordeaux’s huge body in an instant.

“Shu Ke the victor!”
