Chapter 667: Chapter 667
Because Du You was shielded by others in the front, no one was able to influence him, which allowed him to fully engage in guiding the spell. The fireball in the sky grew larger and larger, and the surrounding temperature kept rising.
However, due to the dark magic, the people below felt a chill in their hearts. That feeling of being simultaneously subjected to heat and cold made the people instinctively want to distance themselves. Even the crazed Murlocs wanted to flee at this moment. Unfortunately, the island was just too small, and they did not have time to escape amidst the battle.
When the timing reached a minute, the power of the fireball escalated an entire tier, which was beyond the reach of those third-tier creatures.
They could feel that once the fireball fell, half of the island would be destroyed.
Though the aim of the fireball was at the back, who knew if they would be affected. At this point, many people’s battle rhythm slowed down, prepared to turn and run at any moment.
Suddenly, with a wave of Du You’s hand, the fireball in the sky disconnected from the magic array and started to descend, the sense of danger intensifying.
However, what Du You didn’t expect was that the next moment, a powerful force suddenly erupted from beneath the island. A crescent-like bright light transformed into a sharp blade and soared towards the sky, accurately hitting the fireball.
The terrifying momentum, like the moon striking the earth, swept across everything. Creatures that had not reached the third tier were instantly swept up, and even those at the third tier were resisting this force with all their might.
Fire flared up, countless sparks fell onto the ground, eventually forming a multitude of Destruction Evil Dogs.
However, because this move had been forcibly disrupted, the flames decreased significantly, thus reducing the number and strength of the Destruction Evil Dogs.
"I didn’t expect such a master to come. Killing you will surely grieve the Divine Flame Empire greatly."
From the back of the island, a silhouette slowly emerged. He didn’t have a towering figure, yet he made people feel like they were looking at a giant. Suppressing in the dark, even Du You from a distance felt it difficult to breathe.
"Another one without a label on his head. This power, he must have reached the fourth tier." Du You sensed something and vaguely worked out a guess in his heart, as if understanding something.
The opponent held a sword that was like a Great Guan Blade. The attack that just chopped through the fireball was launched by it.
The enemy’s power locked onto Du You, leaving him no chance to escape. He was certain that he wouldn’t be able to dodge if the enemy attacked.
"Who are you?" Du You asked, with caution rising in his heart. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
At the same time, Du You’s Summoned Beasts and his two sisters all stopped their attack. Even the Unicorn’s enhancement dispersed automatically. Du You was not compromising; he was buying time.
After ending a fight, there’s a period during which he can’t leave. Knowing that he was no match, Du You wouldn’t risk his life for the so-called Divine Flame Empire. So, the best thing to do was to stall for time.
As long as he could delay till the fight lock time runs out, he could submit his mission and leave immediately. Du You was anxiously waiting in front of the panel that had already appeared. As soon as the time was up, he would run away.
Considering that his enemy was confident about catching Du You, he simply took his time and slowly approached.
The enemy’s momentum kept suppressing him, but luckily, it hadn’t reached the level of an attack. Many people around had already stopped, but some were still fighting. Not that they didn’t want to stop, but their opponents wouldn’t stop.
The crazed Murlocs would never pay attention to any situation. They would simply launch an attack at any creature of another species.
"Who am I? A dead man has no need to know. You just need to know, henceforth, the southern part of the continent will be the territory of our Kingdom of Hanhai. The Divine Flame Empire might be very powerful, but they have too many enemies."
The enemy was slowly approaching Du You, gradually getting into the best range for attacking. Meanwhile, there was a growing sense of horror in Du You’s heart, something he couldn’t control.
The power of the fourth tier was truly terrifying. Du You initially thought he would be able to hang on against a fourth-tier expert for a while. Even if he couldn’t win, he could still escape, but it seemed that he was too confident about himself.
The enemy’s mere momentum was enough to suppress him, making him unable to bear.
At this point, it was too late to level up by staking crystal coins. Also, an impulsive level-up wouldn’t bring a significant increase in his power. The power that he couldn’t control would only cause him to die faster.
Unexpectedly, an unexpected moment happened. Just as the enemy was about to attack, a black shadow suddenly bolted out.
"The little Kingdom of Hanhai is really arrogant, thinking that with some cunning tricks they can win."
A familiar voice rang out. Du You found the always low-key Gray Sparrow actually rushing out. At this moment, the power of the Gray Sparrow burst forth, and its concealed momentum was even stronger than the enemy’s.
The guy with the Guan Blade was taken aback for a moment and was stabbed by the dagger in the Gray Sparrow’s hand into the gap of his armor. A series of sounds merged into one, and the enemy was suddenly knocked away.
In mid-air, the enemy’s figure flipped and forcibly stabilized himself, but the wound on his body spurted out blood, his aura greatly reduced. Apparently, the sneak attack just now had severely injured him. If he hadn’t reacted quickly and used Dou Qi to protect himself, he would have lost his life.
"Damn, you hid a fourth-tier assassin. The Divine Flame Empire is so despicable."
"And you dare to use the word ’despicable.’" The Gray Sparrow didn’t hesitate and charged out once more, obviously faster than the enemy. Because of his injuries, the expert from the Kingdom of Hanhai could only fend him off hard, having no strength to counterattack.
"Bad, we’ve been calculated. Hurry, hurry up and use that thing, or we’re done for."
Seeing such a huge turn of events, a group of researchers in the rear began to panic.
Meanwhile, Du You let out a long breath. He had almost left just now. Leaving would have been one thing, but his territory would have definitely run into problems, it might even get destroyed.
Thankfully, now he didn’t have to give up his territory. Lifting his head, Du You felt a chill in his heart. "So this was their plan."
Du You understood. The Kingdom of Hanhai wanted to use this place to attract the experts of the Divine Flame Empire to attack and then eradicate them all at once. The Divine Flame Empire wanted to turn the tables, knowing beforehand that there was an ambush here, and thus hiding an expert.
As for letting him come, it was probably because his destructive power was strong, and they thought he could divert the enemy’s attention.
