Chapter 173: Fierce Battle Against the Martial King!
🕑 Added 2024-10-04 05:28:42 +0000 UTCLin Luoluo frowned, her gaze sharp as she glanced toward the approaching figures.
Upon closer inspection, she saw a large group of warriors advancing toward her, exuding a powerful and intimidating aura.
"Martial Masters?"
Ye Fan was also taken aback at the sight. A few mercenaries had been here earlier, but they had left. Now, a large group had appeared. Could it be…
"There she is," said Huang Zhenyan, leading the group, as he spoke quietly to a bald, muscular man standing beside him.
The bald man, heavily armored and carrying a massive battle axe on his back, sneered as he looked at Lin Luoluo.
"Looks just like the wanted poster," the bald warrior said coldly, his gaze fixed on Lin Luoluo. Around them, the warriors moved to block her escape.
Lin Luoluo’s eyes narrowed. During her time spent hunting beasts and cultivating, she had avoided conflict with other warriors. But now, it was clear these people had hostile intentions.
"The Crystal Ice Jiao?"
"So, you found that beast but couldn’t defeat it? Why didn’t you call me sooner?" the bald warrior said with a cold laugh, glancing at the fallen beast’s body.
"I didn’t have time to call you, sir," Huang Zhenyan quickly replied, his face full of flattery. He dared not show any disrespect to the man before him.
This bald warrior was a Martial King.
"Martial King…"
Lin Luoluo's powerful senses immediately identified the man’s strength.
"A Martial King?"
"So that's why he's so arrogant," Ye Fan remarked coldly. "But with Lin Luoluo’s current strength, defeating a Martial King should be no problem."
"And if we defeat this Martial King, I should be able to gain at least a million evolution points, right?"
Ye Fan grew excited at the thought. If they killed this man, they would reach the next level of evolution. The prospect of finally evolving thrilled him.
"Hey, didn’t you hear me? I asked if you're Lin Luoluo of the Silver Clan?" the bald warrior called out, his eyes locked on her.
Lin Luoluo’s gaze remained cold, and she didn’t bother to respond.
"Hey, you can’t hear our leader?" another warrior shouted angrily.
Shing—
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Luoluo raised her Soul Severing Sword and slashed through the air. A powerful wave of sword energy sliced the man’s body clean in half, splattering blood onto his nearby companions.
[Killed an eighth-level warrior, gained 8,000 evolution points]
[Absorbed eighth-level warrior blood, gained 8 energy points]
[Absorbed eighth-level warrior blood, gained 8 energy points]
…
As the warrior’s lifeblood flowed, it was quickly drawn into the Soul Severing Sword.
"Just like the wanted posters said, a sword that can absorb blood," the bald warrior said, unfazed by the death of his comrade. Instead, he seemed excited.
"Did you know? The empire has said that anyone who captures you and takes that sword will be promoted to General and receive countless rewards."
A sinister grin spread across the bald man’s face. Without further delay, he lunged toward Lin Luoluo.
Whoosh—
Though his massive frame made him seem cumbersome, his speed was extraordinary. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from sight and reappeared directly in front of Lin Luoluo, swinging his giant battle axe down with terrifying force.
Lin Luoluo sidestepped just as the axe came crashing down.
Boom—
The impact of the strike created a massive crater where she had been standing just moments before.
"Not bad, your reflexes are quick," the bald man sneered, turning to face Lin Luoluo, who had already moved to another position.
"But you won’t escape," he said, as purple energy radiated from his body, spreading across the ground.
"The power of a Martial King’s domain…"
Huang Zhenyan murmured in awe. A domain was a unique power that only Martial Kings could unleash, granting them control over their surroundings. Within this domain, the user could enhance their strength, speed, and even gain special abilities.
"This is my Wind Domain," the bald man said with a cruel smile.
In his domain, wind currents surged, boosting his speed and amplifying the power of his wind-based techniques.
[Ninth-level martial technique: Gale Slash]
With a swift motion, the bald warrior swung his battle axe, unleashing a powerful gust of wind that tore through the ground, creating deep scars in the earth as it sped toward Lin Luoluo.
Lin Luoluo’s expression shifted slightly as she realized the speed and power of the attack. There was no time to dodge.
In an instant, she focused her energy, summoning a shield of water.
[Eighth-level martial technique: Water Dragon Shield]
A massive water barrier formed around her just as the wind energy slammed into it.
Boom—
The wind crashed against the water shield, shattering it into droplets, and the remaining force struck Lin Luoluo directly.
But before it could cause any damage, a white light radiated from her clothes.
A mysterious force erupted from her Fairy Feather Garment, nullifying the attack and leaving Lin Luoluo unscathed, though she was pushed back a few steps.
"Impossible!"
The bald man’s eyes widened in shock. His attack had been completely negated, something he had never experienced before.
