Yang Ling acted first, releasing a wave of Soul Roar while he was still over a hundred steps away. Caught off guard, even the Templars of the Church could not have avoided this attack. Yang Ling did not believe that this attack would be completely ineffective toward this so-called evil demons. As long as the soul of the other party was damaged, their battle abilities would definitely be impacted together with it!
Ah…
After letting out a pathetic cry, the Great Evil Demon wielding a giant scythe trembled, a sharp pain assaulting its head as if a million ants had just dug into its brain. It had wanted to slice down on Yang Ling and his group in order to consume their Blood Essences and souls. It did not expect the other party to possess such a terrifying soul attack.
“Go, kill it!”
This was an opportunity not to be missed. Seeing the Great Evil Demon press on its head and let out pitiful moans, how could Yang Ling miss such a great opportunity. He led the group in pouncing forward. The Dark Dragon King transformed into a massive Dark Dragon, pouncing forward with a flap of his wings, his sturdy, powerful claws crashing fiercely down onto the Great Evil Demon’s head; Seylius, who had transformed into a Twin-legged Flying Dragon followed closely behind, charging straight for the Great Evil Demon’s back.
The Flying Dragon King Seylius was fast, but the Dark Dragon King was faster, arriving in front of the Dark Dragon King in the blink of an eye; However, compared to Winnink who was wearing the Enchanted Shadow Cape and had cultivated the skills of a Shadow Wizard, they were still a great deal slower. After a cold glint flashed past, the throat of the Great Evil Demon had been sliced open by the invisible Winnink’s blade, blood spraying everywhere.
“Roar… Die, go and die!”
The wound on the Great Evil Demon’s throat did not cause any fatal damage but instead caused it to slip into a complete frenzy. It advanced after letting out a roar, raising its sharp giant scythe as it pounced straight for the Dark Dragon King and Flying Dragon King, fiercely slicing it downward. The impact left a deep wound onto the sturdy claws of the Dark Dragon King.
“Hmph, Dragon Domain!” After tilting its body to avoid the Great Evil Demon’s sharp blade, the Dark Dragon King let out a cold grunt, immediately casting the Dragon Domain.
In that instant, the Great Evil Demon that had been prepared to continue the chase trembled, feeling a strong sense of pressure. Looking at the Flying Dragon King Seylius charging toward it at lightning speed, then seeing Yang Ling wielding the crystal skull, then thinking about the invisible killer that it could not trace, it grew alarmed and furious, having no choice but to retreat after letting out a cold grunt.
“Hehe, come, sacrifice your Blood Essence and soul to the noble leader of the Magical Beast Territory!” Looking at the Great Evil Demon that had only realized to retreat now, Yang Ling let out an evil laugh, adopting the words used by the many Great Evil Demons. He let out a Soul Roar at close distance, followed by a Soul Assimilating Light Ray. Finally, he suddenly accelerated while raising his Blood Elf Dagger, pouncing fiercely toward his target.
Ah…
After taking two close-ranged soul attacks in succession, the Great Evil Demon knew that the situation was dire under its intense pain. It muttered an incantation and was prepared to teleport out, even if it meant exhausting its mental energy. Unexpectedly, it was still one step too late. A sharp dagger pierced through the defences of its physical body, directly piercing through its heart. The Blood Essence in its body seemed to have come across a bottomless hole, welling out like the tide!
“You… You are a Blood Demon?”
Sensing that the blood in its body was uncontrollably welling into the terrifying dagger, the Great Evil Demon had a thought, remembering the legendary elusive Blood Demon from the Demonic Plane as it swallowed with difficulty. To think that it had finally regained a shred of consciousness from the Pharaoh’s Blood Curse and had not even had the chance to absorb a sufficient amount of Blood Essence and souls in the Tailun Continent before it encountered the legendary Blood Demon.
After recovering from its shock, the Great Evil Demon had wanted to use its final breath to drag the legendary Blood Demon Yang Ling to the grave together with it. However, it had just raised its giant scythe when its right hand was sliced off by the hidden Winnink. Following that, its left ear was swiped off by the Flying Dragon King Seylius; Its right leg was chewed off by the Dark Dragon King, and his back was stabbed by the withered hands of the Corpse Wizard King…
“Hehe, that’s right, I am a Blood Demon. You should feel lucky that you are dying by my hand!” Looking at the Great Evil Demon with an alarming amount of vitality, not dropping dead even after the heavy attacks of the group, Yang Ling let out a cold smile. He slammed his fist fiercely outward, and with a dull thud, completely smashed the other party’s skull. He then silently recited a Wizard Mantra, subjugating its soul with the Soul Tampering Technique.
After having advanced to high-level Divine Wizard, his Soul Tampering Technique had reached an expert’s level of mastery. He could almost instantly subjugate the soul of the Great Evil Demon. As a black vapor entered his brain, Yang Ling felt extremely comfortable, as if he had just drunk a large bottle of Water from the Spring of Life. His Soul Energy increased considerably and his mental energy improved dramatically as if he had just swallowed an elixir.
The soul of an evil demon is exceptional indeed!
Yang Ling was elated after sensing the changes in his body. According to the explanation on the stele, the greatest obstacles that prevented him from advancing from high-level Divine Wizard to Soul Wizard was not only the master of Wizard Techniques but also the size of his Soul Power. If he did not have enough Soul Power, he would not be able to advance a step further no matter how high he cultivated his Wizard Techniques to, and would forever be unable to become a powerful Soul Wizard. If he could absorb the Soul Power of all of the evil demons in this plaza, he might perhaps be able to advance to the level of Soul Wizard not long after, officially stepping into the ranks of a Great Soul Wizard.
“Hehe, next one, let’s go!” After killing the Great Evil Demon, Yang Ling became even more confident, leading the group as the charged straight for the Yaksha nearby. Just like the last time, he shot out a few bolts of Soul Roar from far away, taking the first move.
From the battle with the Great Evil Demon, he realized that these evil demons had extremely strong physical bodies and a stubborn vitality; However, their soul attacks and defences were relatively weaker. With the help of the Dark Dragon King, Shadow Wizard Winnink, Corpse Wizard King and the rest, he was confident that he would be able to kill the evil demons in this plaza one by one. He cannot fight them one on one, but he could attack them together with a bunch of elites and kill them.
He liked the feeling of ganging up on his opponents!
Just as Yang Ling had expected, after the soul of the evil demon got hit by waves upon waves of attacks, the speed and reactions of the Yaksha who had been about to unleash a massacre slowed down drastically. Under the Dragon Domain of the Dark Dragon King and the Mind Magic Field of the Corpse Wizard King, faced with the waves upon waves of attacks, the Yaksha got torn to shreds in the blink of an eye. Soon, Yang Ling once again consumed a powerful Soul Energy. Even though the Soul Energy was a little weaker than the one the Great Evil Demon had, it was still much better than consuming the souls of several hundred ordinary people and low-level Magical Beasts.
Tsk tsk, is this the Soul Tampering Technique, or am I smoking marijuana?
Sensing that his Soul Energy and mental energy had once again increased drastically, Yang Ling started to like this feeling of rapid progression more and more. The high he got was tens of times, even hundreds of times better than when he had improved a little after going through arduous training alone. This feeling was as if he was looking at someone else on a tattered bicycle while he was speeding past on a premium Maserati.
With the assistance of the Five Great Wizard Guards, the Corpse Wizard King and the Shadow Wizard Winnink, Yang Ling killed off all the evil demons that were charging forward and murdering the troops and adventurers one by one. Another person would be scared out of their wits when they saw the ferocious evil demons, while Yang Ling saw them as sparkling gemstones, killing them without a word. He had killed over twenty evil demons in just an hour. He had exhausted a great deal of Wizard Power, but his Soul Energy and mental energy improved by leaps and bounds, time and time again. That feeling was as if he was doing something he enjoyed doing with a different beautiful lady each time. Even though he was getting tired physically, he was going through climax after climax in his mind.
“Thank you, Sir, thank you, Your Lordship!”
“Hahaha, I’m not dead, I’m not dead yet. I’ve said this before, with His Lordship around, we do not have to fear even if the sky were to collapse!”
…
After being saved from the hands of the evil demon by Yang Ling at the critical moment, the troops and adventurers who were fortunate enough to survive shed tears of gratitude. In the past, a few of them had been unhappy with Yang Ling for snatching the Burning Fire Elves away, but at this moment, no one thought that way anymore. After receiving Yang Ling’s benevolence and averting crisis time and time again, even the most selfish of them were filled with gratitude, and at the same time, incredible awe. The impression that Yang Ling was unbeatable got deeply imprinted into their souls. No one would dare have any ill intentions within the influence of the Magical Beast Territory till the day they died.
The ordinary troops and adventurers were extremely awed when they saw Yang Ling’s alarming battle capabilities, while the various major factions like the Dark Association and the Borg family who were hailed as the Golden Lions were no exception.
Even though they had already known that Yang Ling’s abilities were powerful beyond comprehension and that he had a bunch of powerful followers, but no one could have expected him to be powerful to such an extent! Both Elder Klive and Stuart felt lucky that they had made the decision that they did, not getting into Yang Ling’s bad books just because their faction was stronger. Otherwise, they might have been exterminated just like the arrogant army of the Church.
Even though word has it that Elder Brown and his group had died in the hands of the undead, Elder Klive, Stuart and the rest knew in their hearts that things were not as simple as they sound. Without someone commanding them within the shadows, why would the army of the Church so coincidentally encounter the pursuit and ambush of a large group of undead creatures along the way? If not for having sensed something, why would the elder of the Church Templars hide at the outer perimeters of the underground tomb like a defeated dog, yet still coincidentally encounter the assault of a large group of undead creatures?
Yang Ling’s abilities were definitely not as simple as they seem on the surface!
Even though they did not say anything, the intelligent people knew in their hearts that Yang Ling’s abilities were not as simple as they had imagined. The unknown ancient family backing Yang Ling once again appeared in their minds. Other than hailing from a powerful and mysterious ancient family, they could not think of a possibility that an unknown young man could have gained this much strength within such a short period.
“Roar… Kill him!”
“Kill, attack him together and kill him!”
…
Seeing the lone evil demons fall by Yang Ling’s hand one by one, the rest of the evil demons were both alarmed and furious, all of them pouncing toward Yang Ling at the same time. Giant dragons with the wingspan of several hundred meters, Great Evil Demons with red eyes, Yakshas who were anxious for revenge, as well as those ten-meter-tall Earth Demons… They surrounded Yang Ling from all directions.
Getting ganged up by the evil demons?
Yang Ling’s heart shook when he saw the evil demons pounce toward him from all directions, swallowing with difficulty. He had to join forces with others to deal with one evil demon, how could he deal with several dozen evil demons pouncing toward him, baring their fangs?
