192: Ultimate Nen Shield

The four of them were startled. Lin Chuan hurriedly took No. 28 and followed the three Peak Masters as they rushed directly toward Kelli.

Upon arriving, they saw two Black-Robed Figures fighting Kelli. To their surprise, Kelli was clearly at a disadvantage; if not for the skills she borrowed from the Secret Realm, she would likely have been defeated long ago.

Peak Master Lie Huo saw this and was about to charge in, but Lin Chuan stopped him.

Lin Chuan said with a grave expression, "Don't go up there. Kelli is at Soul Transformation Peak. Since these two can suppress her, they must be at Soul Transformation Peak or the Void Refining Realm. It's useless for you to go up there!"

The three Peak Masters were originally only at the Nascent Soul stage. Over the past few months, thanks to the feedback of Spiritual Qi gained from leveling up in the Secret Realm, they had only just entered the Soul Transformation stage.

Peak Master Shen Mu nodded and said, "I will go notify the Sect Head right away!" Having said that, he immediately flew away.

Lin Chuan hurriedly sent No. 28 in.

No. 28 rushed into the battlefield and immediately activated the Nen Shield.

After the Nen Shield protected Kelli, No. 28 immediately activated Nen Beast: Dragon Tiger Roar.

Her fist, carrying the phantom images of a dragon and a tiger, struck directly at one of the Black-Robed Figures.

The Black-Robed Figure struggled to block two blows, black Qi overflowing from his body; he was clearly injured.

"Not good, we've been discovered, an expert has arrived! This woman's Spiritual Skill counters me too much! Retreat for now!" A hoarse, gloomy voice came from inside the black robe.

The other Black-Robed Figure did not speak, but unwilling to give up, threw a purple orb of light at Kelli. Seeing it easily blocked by the bright yellow shield, and knowing that it would be impossible to break through this defensive barrier in a short time, she immediately retreated.

She could not understand how that tall woman wielding dual guns, who clearly only had the strength of Soul Transformation Peak, could hold off the attacks of the two of them, relying only on those dual guns and her seemingly simple yet bizarre physical techniques.

She was somewhat unwilling, but she quickly disengaged from the fight with Kelli and moved toward the other Black-Robed Figure.

But No. 28's strength went without saying. She stood with her hands on her hips, gave a fierce shout, and unleashed her Nen power, stunning the Black-Robed Figure who had spoken for a brief moment.

Immediately after, No. 28 pushed her hands out forcefully, and a Spiral Nen Field struck directly at the Black-Robed Figure.

Large amounts of black Qi surged around the Black-Robed Figure's body, attempting to counter No. 28's skill.

But No. 28's skill not only had high power, it also carried light-attribute damage.

The Black-Robed Figure's black Qi was clearly countered by the light attribute, and a large amount of the black Qi vanished.

The Black-Robed Figure shouted, "Catherine, you go first, I can't leave!"

The other Black-Robed Figure, who had just disengaged from the fight with Kelli, hesitated for a moment before immediately turning around and trying to flee toward the Teleportation Array halfway up the mountain.

The Black-Robed Figure, having been attacked by No. 28's Spiral Nen Field, was now covered in wounds, and the black robe on his body had been shredded, revealing his true appearance.

It was an old man with white hair whose face was covered in black lines. There was an exaggerated scar on his face, stretching from his left eyebrow across the bridge of his nose and down to his right chin.

Logically, with this person's strength, he should have been able to remove the scar on his body long ago, but the old man had chosen not to do so.

The old man collapsed, kneeling on the ground. He first glanced in the direction where the other Black-Robed Figure had fled, then looked at No. 28 and said weakly, "Hehe, I hate the stench of light on you!"

"You beasts who claim to be righteous and bright, fall into Hell with me forever!"

After saying this, the small amount of black Qi left in his body suddenly surged violently again, and his body began to swell.

"Damn, these Demonic Path followers are all lunatics! He's going to self-destruct!" Peak Master Lie Huo said in terror.

Peak Master Jin Jian said despairingly, "A self-destruction at the Void Refining Realm will turn the entire Tianquan Peak into dust!"

Peak Master Lie Huo immediately grabbed Lin Chuan, picked up his Flying Sword, and wanted to flee. Although he knew the chances were slim, he decided to try and see if they could escape the range of the self-destruction.

The next moment, however, No. 28 stood with her hands on her hips and gave another light shout. A light shield, much larger than the previous Nen Shield, appeared instantly, enveloping everyone, including Lin Chuan and the others.

"Ultimate Nen Shield?" Lin Chuan smiled.

Lin Chuan broke free from Peak Master Lie Huo's arm and said, "No need to run, it's fine."

Before Peak Master Lie Huo could retort, a flash of white light appeared in the direction of the Black-Robed Figure, and a huge sound accompanied by a blinding light rushed toward them.

When Peak Master Lie Huo opened his eyes, he saw that the huge Nen Shield had disappeared. Looking at everyone present, not only had they not suffered any harm, but he also felt a healing power surge into his body.

Looking at the spot where the old man had self-destructed, there were no traces of space being torn, and not even a single blade of grass on the ordinary dirt ground of Tianquan Peak had died.

No. 28 stood there quietly, as if nothing had happened at all.

"This…?" Peak Master Lie Huo was completely dumbfounded, his eyes wide open.

Beside him, Peak Master Jin Jian, who had been prepared to die, was the same as Peak Master Lie Huo, his mouth wide open, looking at the scene before him in disbelief.

Lin Chuan opened his eyes, which were stung by the intense light, and saw that No. 28's Ultimate Nen Shield had disappeared. He understood that if it weren't for the special property of the Nen Shield to withstand one fatal attack, this self-destruction would likely have turned Tianquan Peak into dust, just as Peak Master Lie Huo had said.

Peak Master Lie Huo stammered, pointing at No. 28 as he said to Lin Chuan, "She… this… you…"

Lin Chuan helplessly interrupted Peak Master Lie Huo's words and said, "Alright, stop staring, don't forget there's still one more!"

Peak Master Lie Huo and Peak Master Jin Jian finally reacted, nodded hurriedly, and chased in the direction where the other Black-Robed Figure had fled.

Lin Chuan also took No. 28 and followed.

Just as they arrived halfway up the mountain, they heard the sounds of fighting.

It turned out that when Peak Master Shen Mu brought Spiritual Void Master and the others to provide support, they had coincidentally run into the other Black-Robed Figure who was about to escape.

That person did not want to fight, but kept fleeing toward the Teleportation Array, frantically casting magic when faced with obstruction.

That's right, it was magic, completely different from the battles in the Southern Territory, and more akin to the magic Lin Chuan was familiar with.

Elder Cui Si, who was coming over with Spiritual Void Master, saw the Black-Robed Figure's attack method and shouted directly, "Are you a Dark Elf?"

Hearing Elder Cui Si's shout, the Black-Robed Figure paused and turned to glance at Elder Cui Si.

"Oh? How come the noble Elf Clan has also abandoned its forest?" A woman's voice came from inside the black robe.

Elder Cui Si was extremely shocked and asked in disbelief, "How is that possible? How can the Dark Elf clan still exist today?"

The Black-Robed Figure laughed, "What, do you want to wipe us all out?"

Elder Cui Si stopped everyone's attacks and asked, "You seem to have a lot of hostility toward me?"
