I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 228 228. Monster men and women

Sensing the danger behind him, Xia Feng remained calm and continued to draw his bow.

After all, he had already filled the shadows behind him with blood beasts, just waiting for the blind old man to come and kill him.

Repeat the old trick.

Bloodlust and mental manipulation surged into the depths of the old man's soul, causing him to pause as he held the giant hammer aloft.

However, to Xia Feng's surprise, the old man's mental strength was significantly higher than that of the viper.

Realizing he had fallen into a trap, the old man's figure, wreathed in blood and fire, vanished in an instant.

He appeared in the distance, his blind and indifferent eyes looking at the vast expanse of shadows surrounding the white-robed man. It seemed as if a dozen blood-red monsters were roaming within, ready to burst out of the sea of ​​shadows and devour anyone who entered.

"Deceptive tricks." The old man sneered, and a holy white scepter appeared in his hand, with a milky white gem shimmering and disappearing at its center.

He raised his scepter, and instantly, it shone brightly.

The old man, wreathed in flames, stood like a sun, illuminating the rugged road and quickly dispelling the large shadows cast by his light.

It was as if the shadow on the white paper had been erased by an eraser, leaving only a faint shadow hiding under Xia Feng's feet, trembling.

Xia Feng also sensed it; the Bloodthirsty Shadow was firmly suppressed under this light.

[Attacked by a B-grade spirit weapon, the Staff of Light. A replicable spirit weapon has been detected. Replicate?]

Xia Feng had a sudden thought.

[Copy successful]

The Staff of Light

[Grade: B]

[Light Protection: The scepter has a range of two meters, forming a spherical defensive shield that can withstand two full-force attacks from a B-grade offensive spirit armor. It lasts for 3 minutes and has a 24-hour cooldown.]

[Light Spirit: Consumes Spirit Particles to unleash endless light; concealment-type spirit suits are rendered useless under this light (below Rank B). Consumes Spirit Particles to convert into 'temporary mental energy,' with a conversion limit of 100 Soc.]

This magical artifact seems pretty good, so Xia Feng didn't hesitate and immediately started optimizing it.

[Optimization successful]

【B·Wand of Light·Optimized Version】

[Light Protection: Duration extended to 10 minutes, cooldown reduced to 6 hours.]

[Light Spirit: Can detect all stealth-type spirit garments, including those of Rank A and below. Spirit particle conversion to mental power cap is 300.]

At the same time, the blind old man moved, once again rushing towards Xia Feng through a trail of fiery afterimages.

Without the interference of the Bloodthirsty Beast, he could easily deal with the black-dressed woman's mental attacks, thanks to the temporary mental power boost from the Staff of Light.

"Kid, you really have a lot of talent."

The blind old man coldly and indifferently approached Xia Feng in the blink of an eye, saying, "But that's all."

As he spoke, a murderous intent surged within him, but his voice abruptly stopped, and the old man was astonished to discover—

He can't even sense his own magical artifact anymore?!

Without the light of the Staff of Light, the rugged road around Xia Feng was once again shrouded in shadow. The Bloodthirsty creatures, like the ghostly hands of hell, clung to the old man's ankles and thighs, surging into his soul.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he didn't have time to think about it. Lingzi covered his leg muscles and retreated again with a flash.

But to his surprise, the woman in the black dress's mental attack inexplicably intensified, making his retreat sluggish.

In the distance, a woman in a black dress was suspended in mid-air. Her silver hair danced wildly in the wind, and a mysterious purple crystal floated between her fair brows. Her spiritual pressure surged and broke through to the fourth rank!

That inexplicable mental attack was thus greatly amplified.

The old man's expression changed slightly; under the intense pain in his mind, he was now completely immobilized on the spot.

The woman in the black dress left an afterimage as she appeared directly in front of him, her palm grasping lightning, her gaze indifferent.

The blind old man's scalp tightened; he knew he couldn't hold back any longer! A狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) bloodshot vein instantly appeared in his lifeless pupils—

His spiritual power surged once more, and with a single step, he moved like a firebird flashing through a curtain of lightning—whoosh—

But in Mu Qingtong's eyes, this was nothing more than a death throes.

After actual combat, you gained a deeper understanding of the use of the trace spiritual particles covering the body's surface, further insights into combat techniques, and mastered "Advanced Instant Step".

The woman in the black dress stood still, but at the same time, a silver-haired figure in a black dress flashed into the sky above the path the blind old man had fled, her cold gaze sweeping down as she pressed her palm downwards. *Sizzle—*

Like divine punishment descending from the heavens, countless electric strands that had been moving through space suddenly coalesced, transforming into a terrifying pillar of lightning that crashed down.

Fingertip Lightning + Thunder Explosion + Concentric Thunder —

Fingertip lightning destroys the spiritual garment covering a spirit master's body, causing an explosion that annihilates the physical body and can even affect the soul. The lightning explosion can detonate the lightning, causing further damage. Combined with the five-fold amplified pain from the concentric lightning, which has a paralyzing effect, even a seasoned fifth-tier spirit master like the blind old man cannot withstand it.

Mu Qingtong appeared too suddenly, and the old man was unable to avoid her. He was directly engulfed by the terrifying lightning that roared towards him. His pupils contracted abnormally, his cheeks twitched, and he let out a painful growl from his throat.

Damn it! Damn it! He raised his arms to shield himself, his body thrown backward by the immense impact. Damn it! He couldn't understand what kind of monsters this man and woman were!

He had been a level 5 Spirit Master for at least 20 years, and he had never encountered anything so outrageous. Two level 3 kids were completely dominating him, a seasoned level 5 Spirit Master.

Even if that woman can temporarily possess fourth-level spiritual pressure, and even if I am just an ordinary fifth-level spiritual pressure, this is still unreasonable!
Fortunately, the man in white had probably exhausted his energy and was no longer able to fire the black beam that was meant to kill the viper.

The woman in the black dress's move could only destroy his body, but could not harm his soul.

As long as no one has the ability to kill him instantly, he won't die! After all, the physical and spiritual strength of a fifth-tier spiritual master cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

Boom——

Just then, he heard a roar and saw a jet-black arrow, like a black dragon, shoot out from behind him. Space twisted again, and it rushed straight toward him with overwhelming force!
"!!!"

Xia Feng's mental energy was indeed insufficient. Launching a level 5 light arrow required 300 Soc, and he only had 158 Soc left.

So he originally planned to use the Vermilion Bird Armor to double his mental power, but since he obtained the Staff of Light that can convert mental power, he didn't need to waste a chance to revive.

It consumed almost half of its spiritual energy and converted it into 142Soc of mental energy.

The terrifying level 5 light arrow quickly formed and was fired.

The blind old man was completely dumbfounded as he watched the roaring black light approach.

Ahead lay a pillar of dazzling golden lightning; the immense impact and paralyzing effect rendered him temporarily immobile.

Behind them was an even more powerful pillar of black light, impossible to avoid. Boom!
As the golden and black light converged, layers of light waves exploded outwards, creating waves of air. The man and woman standing at opposite ends were suspended in mid-air, their black and silver hair dancing wildly in the wind, their clothes fluttering in the breeze.

Soon.

The light faded, and a blood-red skeleton, almost entirely reduced to bones, spun through the air and fell with a soft thud.

It fell right onto the viper's corpse, its pitiful state almost identical to the one before it.

Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong landed slowly, and everything returned to silence.

At that moment, a semi-transparent spirit suddenly emerged from the old man's skull and fled into the distance.

It can only be said that he is indeed a fifth-level spirit master, and he is still alive. However, after exchanging a glance, Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong tacitly did not stop the other party from escaping.

The old man's frail spirit thus managed to escape to the side of the noble young master.

At this moment, Reno was still standing within the protective range defined by the Staff of Light, protected by a milky white light shield.

From the start to the end of the battle, it actually only lasted about five seconds.

But after a dazzling exchange of blows between the spirit suits on the battlefield, Butler Feng was completely crushed and crippled. Renault was still somewhat dazed, his eyes wide with shock, and he hadn't come to his senses yet.

Butler Feng told him to stay in this area and not move around, and to come right back. And he really did just run away and come right back!

Renault stiffened his neck, took several deep breaths to calm himself, and said in a hoarse voice, "Butler Feng, what exactly is going on?"

elder:"."

Neither Renault nor the old man understood that even within the Golden Flower family, there was only one super genius who could challenge a fourth-tier opponent from a third-tier level, let alone crush a fifth-tier opponent.

Even if the two of them worked together, it seemed impossible to them.

But reality is just that absurd.
So, what exactly are this man and woman?!

"Young Master Renault, forget about that for now. Has the summoning incantation been activated?" The old man forced down his fear and asked hurriedly.

"It's been activated for a while now," Renault transmitted in a deep voice, "but we still need to wait two more minutes before we can summon Mother!"

"That's enough!" Butler Feng felt a little relieved.

Although I don't understand why the connection with the artifact suddenly broke down and I can't sense anything, the protective effect of the Staff of Light is still there, which is a blessing in disguise.

The light shield can last for three minutes and can withstand two attacks from B-grade offensive spirit armors. He didn't believe that the monsters could still unleash B-grade spirit armors!
Now all we need to do is wait for Mother to arrive!
