Chapter 473: Chapter 473

Having launched the Destruction Flames five times in a single breath, Du You felt immense pressure.

"I can’t keep this up. This magic expends a lot of magic power. If I continue , once my magic power is less than their crossbow arrows, I’m afraid we won’t be able to resist."

In reality, what Du You was truly concerned about wasn’t his magic power. Although his magic power was being rapidly depleted, he had a deep reserve and could sustain it for a long time. However, this pressure was making Du You very uncomfortable.

This was the first time Du You had used Destruction Flames continuously. In the past, when hunting demons, he used his magic intermittently to conserve magic power. After one use, he would switch to other magic, waiting for more demons before using it again.

But this kind of continuous use of Destruction Flames was a first. Du You had always thought that Destruction Flames required only channeling time and more magic power consumption, never imagining that there would also be a great deal of pressure exerted by this spell.

The continuous use caused Du You’s Spiritual Sea to churn and boil constantly. This kind of mental pressure was causing Du You significant discomfort.

Gradually, the speed at which Du You was releasing spells slowed. He had no choice but to allow his magic power to stabilize. Despite his magic power recovery being at the maximum level of 10, it was, after all, only a basic skill.

Enduring such immense backlash from magic power, how could Du You possibly remain unaffected? The channeling time was getting longer and longer.

What Du You didn’t know was that the opposing side was equally troubled. His spell-casting was so fast that a new flame would appear every ten seconds, requiring them to reload and aim their crossbow arrows within that time frame.

When Du You slightly slowed his spell casting speed, they didn’t even notice, because they were even more tired.

The commanding officer assured him, "Don’t worry, we have other measures in place. I’ve already sent our people in stealthily. The moment I give the command, they can take down that crossbow."

Du You nodded without saying anything further. As for those individuals who seemed amenable to die like soldiers, they wouldn’t actually die in this world. If they were able to destroy the enemy’s crossbow, it would be an impressive performance.

If they could escape after the destruction, it would prove their ability to be top-notch. Major forces would extend olive branches to them. How could they pass up such an opportunity to show off?

Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi were slowly squeezing out of the crowd and walking towards Du You. Unfortunately, the density of the army meant they couldn’t withdraw in a straight line, which slowed them down.

Du You continued to rain down his Destruction Flames, with the other side persistently using the Jinghong Crossbow Cannon to block his attacks. It was tit for tat, reminiscent of a fireworks display in the sky.

After an unknown period of time, Du You suddenly perceived a wave of danger sweeping over him. Almost instinctively, he abandoned his channeling of the Destruction Flames - the Magic Array and the flames in the sky instantly dispersed.

The moment the fire dissolved, a Jinghong suddenly rocketed into the sky, a wasted shot.

In the blink of an eye, Du You used a Shield Spell to protect his back. A shadow suddenly appeared, and his Spiritual Perception finally detected this dangerous figure that had appeared next to him.

Unbeknownst to him, someone had infiltrated his surroundings, their dagger thrusting straight at him.

The Shield Spell blocked them, but they didn’t seem concerned at all. Instead, they revealed a smile.

"You’re dead," their lips seemed to say. The next moment, an even greater sense of danger swept over him. Without thinking, Du You retreated. Suddenly, from within his own shadow, a black figure burst out.

At some unknown point, this black figure had assimilated into his shadow and was now launching a surprise attack from beneath his feet.

It would have caught any ordinary person off guard, but with the absolute control within the ten-meter radius provided by his Spiritual Lock and the double detection from his Spiritual Perception, Du You managed to react and avoid the sudden attack.

This impressive assassination technique, coupled with Du You’s quick dodge, instantly set the crowd outside ablaze.

Without a second thought, Du You executed Soul Pierce, knocking the figure away in an instant.

At that moment, Du You sensed that the danger hadn’t passed by. From within the shadow of the large tree behind him, another figure surged out. This was a chain assassination; his retreat direction and distance were calculated by the enemy.

The man in front of him continued thrusting his dagger at Du You. Du You couldn’t withdraw his Shield Spell otherwise he wouldn’t be able to evade the attack. But with the Shield Spell in place, he wouldn’t be able to release a second one.

It was too late to use the Shield Spell to form a circular barrier to protect himself. Acting almost instinctively, Du You launched the spell of Dark Swamp. Unlike its typical tendency to submerge the ground, the Dark Swamp floated in the air on this occasion.

The pitch black swamp formed a spherical layer, enveloping Du You himself.

A sharp attack hit the swamp, cutting it open in an instant, but it also slowed down the attacker. Thanks to this opportunity, Du You finally avoided a fatal attack; the dagger merely grazed his shoulder.

Next, the figure attacking Du You was physically ejected by the expanding Dark Swamp.

"Is this what you call foolproof?" Du You gritted his teeth and drank an antidote. The attacker clearly had poison, and it was a potent one at that. He smeared some Dark Swamp on the wound and used its corrosive power to neutralize the poison. He himself was immune to this corrosion, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to do so.

On the other side, the commander who saw Du You being attacked was still in shock when another person suddenly attacked him. Instead of emerging from a shadow, this person burrowed up from the ground.

A figure shot out from underground, coiling around the commander like a snake. Before the commander could mobilise his fighting power, he was completely entangled with the attacker.

Just as the attacker’s knife was about to plunge into the commander’s heart, the commander gave a loud yell, and a pale yellow flame started burning on his body. The flame erupted wildly, engulfing both the commander and the assassin.

A white light ring flashed, and both were simultaneously declared "dead", expelled from the world.

"Having a commander learn this kind of mutually destructive skill, is this a joke?" Du You was genuinely surprised. Some people were willing to learn this kind of mutually destructive skill, he really didn’t know what they were thinking.

At this moment, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi noticed that Du You was under attack. Without considering anything else, they broke free from the crowd and rushed towards him. Du You also had a clear visual of the three people who had attacked him, who astonishingly looked identical to each other. Were they triplets?
