The full moon hung high in the sky.
The shadows of the trees overlapped.
In another valley.
Ling Zhan, who had been running desperately, suddenly stopped.
"Die!!"
Fang Bo, who was in hot pursuit, no longer bothered to waste words with this ant.
A razor-sharp shadow spike seemed to disregard the space between them. Just moments ago, he saw Fang Bo's hand movement.
But in the next moment, the shadow spike had already arrived in front of Ling Zhan's chest!
The speed was astonishing!
Shadow Spike.
Truly worthy of a second-tier profession.
Whether it was speed or killing power, it far surpassed Zhu Yaoguang, who was an assassin.
If it were any other genius from Tianyan Academy facing this shadow spike that pierced through the void, they would have been instantly killed.
There would be no exceptions.
Including Zhu Yaoguang.
With demonization and the attribute boost from his second-tier passive skills.
Fang Bo's strength far surpassed that of an ordinary second-tier expert!
Watching closely.
Ling Zhan had no way to avoid it.
Fang Bo had already shown a greedy and arrogant smile of triumph.
However...
The next second.
His smile froze on his face.
Because the image reflected in his pupils was not Ling Zhan's head being severed.
Instead, it was Ling Zhan extending a single hand and catching the shadow spike that pierced through the void with just two fingers!
Bare-handedly catching a blade!
How is this possible!!
The attack of a dignified second-tier expert was caught bare-handed by a non-specialist in twenties level!
This...
Despite feeling puzzled and terrified by the phenomenon before him.
The sudden situation forced Fang Bo to stop his attack and retreat first.
But the problem quickly reappeared.
He couldn't pull it out!!
He couldn't pull it out!
The sharp dagger covered in demonic runes was tightly pinched by Ling Zhan's two fingers.
No matter how hard Fang Bo pulled with all his strength, it remained immobile!
He suddenly looked up.
He met Ling Zhan's cold and murderous eyes.
At this moment, he finally realized what was wrong.
This guy was pretending to be weak on purpose!
Without any hesitation.
He gritted his teeth and let go of the dagger, retreating backward.
Crack!!
To Fang Bo's shock, the moment he retreated.
The dagger held between Ling Zhan's fingers instantly turned into powder and completely dispersed.
This was the precious weapon bestowed upon him by the sacrificial lord!
This Level 40 gold-grade weapon, not only blessed by the demon lord but also made of extremely special materials.
Yet in Ling Zhan's hands, it was easily crushed!
What on earth is going on?
Looking at the terrified Fang Bo, Ling Zhan's expression remained unchanged.
He lightly flicked the weapon's dust in his hand, letting it drift away with the wind.
'Clothing Explosion Technique.'
That's right.
Just a moment ago, Ling Zhan used this skill, which sounded extremely lewd.
Earlier, he had already completed the system's skill progression task.
And the Clothing Removal Technique had undergone a significant evolution, directly becoming an S-rank divine skill!
[Clothing Explosion Technique (S): Can crush any equipment or clothing you touch into powder.]
Notes:
1. This skill is exclusively produced by the system.
2. This skill can ignore the level, quality, and passives of all equipment.
3. This skill can be turned on and off at any time, with no cooldown period.
At that time, Ling Zhan thought the system was leading him further down the path of lewdness.
But after receiving the reward.
Ling Zhan felt that all his previous efforts were worth it.
Being disliked by girls, being called a lewd man.
Now, he finally reaped the rewards.
Fang Bo probably couldn't comprehend it now.
Why his weapon inexplicably shattered.
Why the power of this non-specialist was so terrifying that he could catch the blade bare-handed.
But it's okay...
What happens next will confuse him even more!
Roar!!
At this moment.
Ling Zhan couldn't even be bothered to waste words with Fang Bo.
His body was instantly covered in roaring black flames!
The surrounding temperature skyrocketed under the influence of the black flames!
'Solar Blaze'!
When Fang Bo saw these black flames descend.
A strong sense of threat and the breath of death immediately surged in his mind!
Without any hesitation.
He crossed his arms in front of him, assumed a horse stance, and the countless demonic eyes on his body opened wide!!
He roared to the sky, "Demon Eyes Descend..."
But unfortunately...
Before he could finish his words.
His pupils were already filled with a figure!
That figure, wielding a halberd, seemed to shatter the void as it descended upon Fang Bo at an incredibly terrifying speed!
'Light Leap'!
Swish!!
A halberd had already swept across, carrying black flames that seemed capable of burning everything and a terrifying penetrating force that even ignored the opponent's demonic body reinforcement. With a slicing sound.
A head flew high into the air.
Boom!!
The follow-up splash explosion effect of 'City Breaker' shattered that head into pieces!!
The wound on the body also suffered from the splash explosion!
Thud!!
Finally.
The body that had been in a horse stance fell straight down at this moment.
The dozens of demonic eyes covering the body seemed to lose their supporting power and closed again.
Fang Bo!
Physical death!
He didn't even have time to unleash his killer move!
However.
Ling Zhan still did not relax.
The City Breaker halberd in his hand transformed back into the Thousand Mechanisms Ring, but his left hand immediately switched to a staff.
From the staff, a ghostly black light rose, directly enveloping the eerie demonic eye corpse.
'Mental Strangle'!
A wizard's basic skill!
"Ahhhh!!"
From the wrecked demonic eye corpse, the hidden original spirit let out a horrific scream!
But the scream lasted only a brief half-second before it completely stopped.
Because, the staff in Ling Zhan's hand radiated light once more.
'Soul Cage'!
Buzz!!
The severely weakened original spirit was firmly imprisoned by the soul cage woven from fluorescent threads.
Ling Zhan opened his palm.
The small, round soul cage fell into his hand.
One could faintly see the face of Fang Bo's original spirit.
"Ling Zhan... Ling Zhan! I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"
"Please spare me! I'm willing to serve you like a horse or an ox!"
At this moment.
The once arrogant and overbearing Fang Bo finally pleaded for mercy.
"Heh!"
A mocking smile finally appeared on Ling Zhan's previously indifferent and handsome face.
The reason he completely exterminated Fang Bo.
Was it because he was compassionate?
No.
He just wanted to use more cruel methods to torment Fang Bo!
Just as Ling Zhan was about to store the soul cage into his internal space.
Suddenly.
A demonic eye on the supposedly dead corpse suddenly opened wide!
Buzz!!
A black beam filled with destructive energy shot directly at Ling Zhan!
However.
Ling Zhan's combat instincts were extremely sharp.
In response to this sudden situation, he simply sidestepped.
He dodged the powerful black beam.
But...
Ling Zhan's brow furrowed.
Because the soul cage in his hand had already shattered, and Fang Bo's original spirit had been completely annihilated by that black beam!
At the same time.
On Fang Bo's corpse, an eerie woman's face suddenly appeared...
