Chapter 713: Explosion
Eight figures.
All at level 145!
Including the two attackers from before, a total of ten level 145 elites!
Truly a grand display!
These eight figures clearly targeted Ling Zhan, who was left seemingly isolated.
Without the typical wasted words seen in TV dramas, Ling Zhan had no intention of foolishly asking for their identities.
The eight figures launched an overwhelming assault on Ling Zhan and Ansely!
First, two Archmages stepped forward!
One wielded blazing flames, the other wielded icy frost!
Without any incantations or casting delay...
Roar!!
A fiery dragon forged of flames and an icy dragon sculpted from frost surged forward, roaring as they charged at Ling Zhan and Ansely!
Order Skill: Flame Dragon Burst!
Order Skill: Frost Dragon Spiral!
Facing these two order-infused skills with earth-shattering might, Ansely's pale and fragile face turned ashen.
Yet Ling Zhan wrapped his arm around Ansely's slender waist, and with a light tap of his toes...
Swish!
Their figures instantly teleported three kilometers away!
Skill: Leap of Light!
After activation, allows up to three consecutive teleports within 60 seconds, with each teleport covering a maximum distance of 1,500 meters.
When upgraded to SS-level, the teleport count increases to five, and the maximum distance per teleport becomes 3,000 meters!
"Hmph! Do you think you can escape?"
Seeing the now-empty cave, the eight figures sneered coldly.
Both magical skills were imbued with the power of order, granting them a "guaranteed hit" causal law effect.
Unless the target escaped into an entirely separate dimension...
These two spells would pursue their targets to the ends of the earth.
Swish!!
Sure enough.
The two magical attacks immediately changed course, speeding toward another direction!
"Follow them! That boy must die tonight!"
"If we succeed, Elder Sun will surely reward us handsomely!"
The eight figures instantly gave chase.
As expected of order-infused skills.
The three-kilometer gap was closed in just four or five seconds.
Held tightly in Ling Zhan's arms, Ansely was about to suggest casting an order-level magical shield to block the attacks.
However, Ling Zhan teleported for the second time, covering another three kilometers!
"Damn it! This guy sure knows how to run!"
"Keep chasing!"
The eight figures cursed and continued their pursuit.
But then...
Swish!!
Ling Zhan and Ansely vanished again!
The third teleport!
"What the hell!"
The eight figures were now thoroughly enraged.
At the same time, they were shocked by the boy's escape abilities, capable of teleporting such vast distances consecutively!
But...
Did you think that was the end?
Swish!!
Swish!!
The fourth teleport!
The fifth teleport!
"Argh!! Kid, stop running if you dare!"
The eight figures were utterly infuriated!
This brat...
He was a real rat!
No!
Not even a rat could flee this well!
Meanwhile, in Ling Zhan's arms, Ansely's initial fear of the eight attackers had completely dissipated.
She lifted her cold yet beautiful face, her watery eyes reflecting Ling Zhan's incomparably handsome and celestial-like countenance. Surrounded by his scent, her panicked heart gradually steadied.
A feeling of "security" began to well up.
Ling Zhan had now used up all five teleports.
The two magical attacks closed in within four seconds.
Behind them, the eight gnashing, vengeful attackers followed closely, eager to tear Ling Zhan apart.
Facing the incoming magical assaults, Ling Zhan calmly raised his hand.
Buzz!!
The space before him rippled, and a spatial gate suddenly appeared!
Swish!!
The fire dragon and frost dragon, charging at full speed, plunged directly into the spatial gate.
Influenced by the power of order, the two spells seemed almost sentient and attempted to retreat from the chaotic space.
But Ling Zhan clenched his hand.
Crack!
The spatial gate closed instantly, trapping the two order-infused skills within the chaotic dimension.
Skill: Space Dominion!
An SS-level innate talent!
"Is that even possible!?"
The eight attackers, witnessing this, grew visibly tense.
They hadn't expected the boy to possess such domineering spatial abilities!
But it didn't matter.
"Boy! Aren't you good at running? Keep running! No matter how far you run, we'll hunt you down!"
One of the older attackers shouted angrily, his voice hoarse with fury.
Though these attackers were all level 145, they were also advanced in age, the eldest over 400 years old.
A 400-year-old Sword Saint, with 1.6 million strength in his main attribute, had 400,000 less than the 140-level prodigy Yamashita Shin.
This was the difference between ordinary Professionals and geniuses.
For such mediocre Professionals to reach level 145 after 400 years, they must have had immense luck, rare opportunities, and treasures to help them cross the level 100 threshold and complete their fourth-tier trials.
"I have no need to run anymore because you're already dead." Ling Zhan, hovering in midair, spoke calmly, shaking his head.
His words caused not just the eight attackers but also Ansely, resting her cheek on his shoulder, to freeze in shock.
Already… dead?
"Pfft…"
"Hahaha!!"
"Did you hear that? This brat thinks we're already dead!"
"He must've lost his mind from fear!"
"Enough talk. Kill him now, and as for the woman... heh, she'll make a fine slave!"
"You old pervert! At 400 years old, you think you can still handle it?"
"Hmph! An old blade still cuts deep! Ten women a night wouldn't faze me!"
"You're full of crap!"
After a round of mocking laughter, the eight attackers advanced menacingly toward Ling Zhan.
Ansely hesitated, wanting to leave Ling Zhan's arms to buff him with support spells.
But feeling the firm grip around her waist, she couldn't bear to let go.
She knew this man held her close to facilitate their escape.
If she left now, when would she have another chance to be held by him?
Ling Zhan paid no mind to the thoughts of the woman in his arms.
Facing the advancing attackers, he calmly extended a finger, pointing at the shadowy elder known as "Ice Old Demon."
Then, he gently tapped the air.
"Explode."
At that moment, as Ling Zhan's cold voice fell...
Boom!!
Under the horrified gazes of the attackers, the level-145 Ice Old Demon's body exploded, disintegrating into a green mist of blood.
Everyone: !!!
