Chapter 749: Chapter 749
The six-eyed lizard monster, that was basking in the sun, was attacked unexpectedly. It was so aggrieved to die this way, without having the chance to demonstrate its dominance over the area.
"Master, this creature is so weak. Is it really a 9-star?"
Du You shrugged: "I’m not sure, but presumably yes, due to its verified status by the authentication agency."
"Even their certification has a possibility of error. An 8-star is easier to find, but a 9-star..." Lin Yucha also felt unreliable due to the weak strength of the creature.
Perhaps, we might just be too powerful, Du You thought to himself.
"No need to worry, let’s validate it." Du You stepped forward and verified using a special tool. "It is indeed a 9-star, no mistake about it." Saying so, Du You took out the Celestial Star Bottle.
He then directed the bottle towards the monster’s head, whispering the spell, attracting the glimmers of starlight into the bottle little by little.
Just as the absorption was about to complete, a whirlwind suddenly swept across the air, enveloping Du You from all sides. Sensing the danger, Du You cast a Shield Spell, forming a spherical space that enveloped and protected the three of them from the Wind Blades. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
Innumerable Wind Blades whirled around, but didn’t cause the slightest harm or vibration to the shield.
"Who’s there?" A flash of anger crossed Du You’s eyes. He was attacked again, for the second time. The same happened last time when he was using the Celestial Star Bottle to collect souls.
"It’s probably because someone covets the Celestial Star Bottle. It could be the person who claimed the bounty."
The Celestial Star Bottle is a very rare item with strong and versatile functions, so it was no wonder that people were eyeing it. Of course, they might have underestimated his capabilities, taking him lightly.
Suddenly, three shadows leaped out from the dark. One waved a Magic Staff in front of him, releasing numerous Wind Blades towards Du You.
The other two were an Archer and a Warrior. The Warrior sped towards him so quickly that the average person couldn’t even catch their shadow. Meanwhile, the Archer unleashed a barrage of arrows towards them.
"Seeking death." Lin Yushi used an Explosive Scattering against the Archer. Numerous arrows collided in mid-air, neither conceding. The other party was surprised to find out that Lin Yushi, an Archer, was stronger.
On the other side, despite the Warrior’s speed, Lin Yucha wasn’t an easy opponent either.
She summoned a Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf, unleashing 29 level-29 golden Demon Wolves. With a loud bang, the Warrior collided with a Demon Wolf, and their instinctive attacks shredded the wolf instantly. But the remaining wolves surrounded him.
Without hesitation, Lin Yucha cast a lethal Poisonous Snipe. The Warrior had no choice but to dodge, but surrounded by a pack of wolves and faced with a strong Archer, he was no match.
As the battle progressed, he did not get closer but kept becoming more distant.
In the face of the onslaught, Du You created a Dark Absorption in front of him. The black vortex completely absorbed the flying Wind Blades. Taking advantage of the moment, Du You managed to stow away the Celestial Star Bottle in his personal space.
"Good boy, you’ve got some skills. Hand over the Celestial Star Bottle now, and we’ll spare your life."
Du You scoffed: "And who are you to be asking for my life?"
"We three may not be strong enough, but would you dare defy the Dark Night Mercenary Group?"
"Dark Night Mercenary Group? So, it’s you, the trash!" A look of disgust flashed across Du You’s eyes. He had heard of this infamous group.
Rather than calling it a mercenary group, it is more like an army. They have their own stationed city, known only to a few. They bully others by stealing their loot and forcefully taking over their tasks.
Often, they even resort to killing over trivial conflicts. But because there is no concrete evidence and they keep a good public image, nobody can touch them.
It’s a wide-spread belief to either flee or kill all members of the Dark Night Mercenary Group. Never ever leave some alive, or they will chase you to the ends of the world. The reason why the group has a strong following is that their members seem quite united.
"Great, how dare you disrespect us like that. Now, you’ll know your place. Once we capture you, you’re dead," Lin Ming shouted loudly, continuing to release wind spells.
The surrounding air seemed to thicken, making Du You feel uncomfortable.
"We are running out of time. We should finish them off quickly, or else it could become troublesome," Du You thought, observing his surroundings, thinking of a plan to get rid of them quickly.
Suddenly, Du You noticed the Warrior being surrounded by the pack. This was a good opportunity. The surrounding Demon Extermination Spirits also started enclosing.
With this thought, Du You didn’t hold back anymore. He cast nine Soul Pierce spells on the Warrior, who was dealing with Lin Yucha. The Warrior screamed in agony, but it didn’t persist long. A Spiral Snipe burst through his forehead, exploding his head instantly, causing irreparable damage.
"Damn!" It all happened so fast, the other two didn’t have a chance to react. Who would have thought that their companion would be killed instantly?
Meanwhile, Lin Ming felt insulted as Du You managed to attack others while battling against him, as if undermining him. He had noticed Du You hiding his true power from the start.
"Idiot." Du You smirked and didn’t hide his power either, throwing an Energy Gathering Magic Cannon towards Lin Ming. Without charging it fully, the spell was still horrifyingly powerful.
The moment Du You raised his hand, Lin Ming ripped open a scroll, vanishing only to reappear five meters away. Just as he moved, a deep hole was blasted where he had been standing by a black spell. If it had hit him, he’d have had no chance of surviving, regardless of his defensive spells.
