74: Wind forbidden spell, banish the seventh-level great magician
Lin Ling began to consider the possibility of eliminating Jiang Shan Yi in his mind.
But he quickly abandoned the idea; the risk was too great and not worth it.
When he named Tornado earlier, he received a reward of zero-cost casting for that skill. Tornado did not consume his Child of Elements passive.
In other words, Lin Ling still held a Forbidden Spell in his hand.
Lin Ling's gaze fell on the skill bar, and the Child of Elements passive was indeed still there.
He had already decided that if this old man had any ill intentions towards him, he would directly send him away with a plane ticket.
A Thousand Miles Away had an unavoidable setting: even a Seven-Rotation Grand Magus would be sent flying without fail.
"Young man, you are very good, don't be so nervous. With me here, no one can harm you..."
Jiang Shan Yi said, but halfway through his sentence, his old face turned completely red.
He had just said these words, but in reality, if this little fellow hadn't had his own abilities, he would probably be completely dead by now.
A hint of guilt quietly arose in his heart.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Jiang Shan Yi coughed twice to ease the awkwardness. "Young man, come with me, let's have a couple of drinks and chat."
Jiang Shan Yi's tone was amiable, without any pretense of a Seven-Rotation Strong.
"No, if I didn't have a trump card just now, I would be lying on the ground as a corpse," Lin Ling said pitifully, accurately catching the guilt in Jiang Shan Yi's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan Yi's guilt deepened a few more points.
What a pitiful child. He should have been celebrated after awakening an SSS-grade talent, but because the country was in trouble, he was labeled with a useless talent.
These past two days, he must have suffered many cold stares and grievances, and now, due to my carelessness, he almost died.
The country let him down, and I let him down too.
No, I must compensate him well. I must heal all the wounds in this child's young heart.
Jiang Shan Yi thought to himself, looking at Lin Ling with eyes full of apology.
And Lin Ling, feeling his gaze, immediately started to scheme in his mind.
He was a very realistic person. This was definitely a sign that he could gain a huge advantage.
Taking advantage of others would make him uncomfortable for a while, but not taking advantage when there was one might make him uncomfortable for a lifetime.
Lin Ling was about to extort him when he suddenly noticed the other two red dots he had observed earlier were rapidly approaching.
At the same time, Jiang Shan Yi also seemed to sense their arrival. A hint of disdain appeared in his eyes, and a slight cold smile played on his lips.
His figure instantly blurred, like a ghost floating in the air.
The next second, a dozen figures from the north appeared in the air, while the few people from the west, upon discovering those from the north, concealed themselves within the tree canopy.
Lin Ling immediately cast Heros Eye.
The leader of the people from the north was a Six-Rotation assassin of European-American descent named Kardia. The killing intent in his eyes was not concealed at all; his target was clearly Lin Ling.
The other group, however, was Chinese. Their leader was also a Six-Rotation assassin named Zhao Wu Hu, whose appearance bore some resemblance to Big Head Jun.
Clearly, both groups were ill-intentioned.
Both groups glanced at the kilometer-wide vacuum zone created by the wind-element Forbidden Spell, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes simultaneously.
But they quickly recovered and locked their gaze on Lin Ling.
"Lin Ling? Consistent with the photo. If I'm not mistaken, you are Ye Xiu, right?" Kardia looked coldly at Lin Ling.
"So what if I am?" Lin Ling's lips curved slightly. He knew very well that as he gained prominence, his Ye Xiu alias would be exposed sooner or later.
"Very arrogant, aren't you? If so, then die!"
Kardia let out a cold shout and instantly charged towards Lin Ling.
This time, the higher-ups had given a death order: only dead, not alive. He didn't hesitate at all and chose to act.
However, Zhao Wu Hu, who was in the tree canopy nearby, suddenly appeared and blocked Lin Ling's path.
Kardia immediately became vigilant, apparently not expecting anyone to be hidden in the tree canopy.
"I knew it! How could Dragon Country not protect such a genius? As expected, there are masters hidden in the dark, but with just you, it's not enough to protect him."
Kardia said coldly. He had no intention of returning alive this time, and he didn't even consider Zhao Wu Hu a threat.
"You might have some misunderstanding. I'm not here to protect this kid. Moreover, I can pretend not to have seen you, but I have something to ask this kid," Zhao Wu Hu said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Kardia's face, but his vigilance did not relax in the slightest. Only they knew whether it was a trick or not.
He raised a hand, gesturing for Zhao Wu Hu to proceed, while he remained ready for battle at any moment.
"Kid, have you seen Zhao Yijun?" Zhao Wu Hu adopted a condescending posture as he looked at Lin Ling.
His tone, like a superior despising an ant, made Lin Ling very uncomfortable.
As for Big Head Jun, he would absolutely not admit to it.
He wasn't afraid, though. At worst, he would use Magic God Dew and let these people listen to a concert.
However, with so many people, both openly and covertly, if he wasn't careful, the fact that he could use Forbidden Spells would be leaked.
In that case, the trouble would only multiply.
If he didn't act, then so be it, but once he acted, he had to kill them all.
Furthermore, Jiang Shan Yi had made his stance clear; not acting after speaking would be unacceptable.
Sometimes, it was necessary to borrow a knife to kill.
How could he make that old man act?
Was it too comfortable for him to hide in the dark and watch the show?
It would be best to uproot the Zhao family completely. If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back with the spring breeze.
Only when the Zhao family was completely finished could the trouble truly be eliminated.
"Who is Zhao Yijun? Is he very famous?" Lin Ling said indifferently.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Zhao Wu Hu's eyes. He was a dignified Six-Rotation Strong, and this kid actually had such an attitude.
"Was there a battle here before? Tell me in detail what happened!"
Zhao Wu Hu said in a commanding tone, while also raising his hand to point at the vacuum zone plowed out by the Forbidden Spell.
Lin Ling glanced at him and said somewhat mockingly, "The Zhao family truly lives up to its name as a military family. Foreign assassins have come right to your doorstep, yet you have no intention of killing the enemy and can even treat each other with respect. Tsk tsk, pillars of the nation, aren't you?"
"You're looking for death!" Zhao Wu Hu was furious.
"Fifth Master!"
A Four-Rotation Magus behind Zhao Wu Hu gently shook his head at him.
"Hmph, kid, my Zhao family is not something you can fathom. In Dragon Country, I kill whoever I want to kill, and if I don't want to kill someone, then they are not an enemy. Do you think a few words from you can make us fight?"
Zhao Wu Hu said coldly, then turned to look at Kardia.
"Hmph! Gentlemen, please proceed!"
As his voice fell, Zhao Wu Hu flashed to the side, once again becoming an observer.
He understood his subordinate's meaning. Since there was a Terminator to kill this kid, he had no need to act personally.
Lin Ling felt a little regretful; it seemed he wouldn't get to see the dog-eat-dog show.
A sinister smile flashed in Kardia's eyes. "Hahaha... Since Your Excellency finds it inconvenient to act, then enjoy the show."
As his voice fell, his figure instantly charged towards Lin Ling.
However, just then.
A cold snort, as if from the netherworld, suddenly resounded.
Hmph!
Kardia's face instantly changed drastically. He had just realized that someone else was hidden in the dark.
And just a cold snort had caused his mind to tremble, showing how terrifying this person's mental strength was.
"Seven-Rotation Strong!"
Kardia was startled, but he showed no intention of retreating. His attacking speed, in fact, increased slightly. However, no one noticed that he quietly dropped a black cube, only the size of a fingernail, onto the ground.
This was the terminal of a miniature teleportation array. The moment the teleportation array opened, a Seven-Rotation assassin from America-Alliance would be able to see everything happening here and could teleport over at any time. Today, they would kill Lin Ling at all costs.
However, at this moment, Jiang Shan Yi's figure suddenly appeared. He gently raised the staff in his hand.
Boom boom boom boom...
Kardia and the dozen Terminators accompanying him simultaneously exploded into a mist of blood.
Such a luxurious lineup didn't even have the ability to struggle. A Seven-Rotation assassin lurking thousands of miles away felt a hint of hesitation as he watched the scene before him.
This scene, however, made Zhao Wu Hu suddenly turn his head to look at Jiang Shan Yi.
"Air Burst? Are you Old Jiang?"
Jiang Shan Yi glanced at him coldly. "Zhao Wu Hu of Autumn Wild Blue Cloth City, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Wu Hu swallowed. This was truly a good show he had witnessed.
He quickly replied, "My young master, Zhao Yijun, might be in some trouble. The Family Head is worried about his safety and sent me to check. I wonder if Old Jiang has seen him?"
"Hmph!" Jiang Shan Yi snorted. "That little beast isn't dead yet? I haven't seen him here. Get lost."
"Old Jiang, Yijun is Father's favorite grandson. For the sake of my father's past service to the country..." Zhao Wu Hu said unwillingly.
However, his words stopped abruptly before he could finish.
A chilling killing intent silently locked onto him. It seemed that if he didn't leave now, he would never have another chance to depart.
Zhao Wu Hu hesitated slightly, still wanting to say something more, but seeing Jiang Shan Yi's cold gaze, he could only cup his fists, turn, and leave.
At this moment, Lin Ling couldn't help but touch his nose. He was somewhat regretful that he couldn't use Jiang Shan Yi's hand to eliminate the Zhao family's people.
At the same time, his apprehension towards Jiang Shan Yi increased. Such a powerful person posed too high a threat to him.
Lin Ling disliked this feeling of having his fate controlled by others.
He began to ponder again how to escape. Big Head Jun's backer had arrived so quickly; if he didn't leave soon, it would be trouble sooner or later.
"Kid, come with me!"
Jiang Shan Yi said in an irritated tone, watching the departing Zhao Wu Hu.
Lin Ling's nerves instantly tensed.
"Where to? Are you going to forcibly abduct me too?" Lin Ling asked, continuing to probe the old man's attitude.
Jiang Shan Yi's mood seemed genuinely much worse than before.
When Lin Ling questioned him, a surge of nameless anger burned in his heart.
But Lin Ling had no idea that this was entirely due to the Zhao family.
Zhao Long City, once a high-ranking official, fought for Dragon Country, but since his retirement, his sons and grandsons, relying on their status as descendants of a military family, had committed all sorts of evil deeds.
The War God Hall had long wanted to eradicate the Zhao family but had always lacked concrete evidence.
Just now, Jiang Shan Yi had personally witnessed Zhao Wu Hu's arrogance, so how could he not be angry?
"Kid, don't ask so many questions. Come with me." Jiang Shan Yi said again, simultaneously raising his hand to grab Lin Ling.
Lin Ling's nerves were taut, and almost instinctively, he used A Thousand Miles Away.
A melodious song instantly began to play.
"Sending you away, A Thousand Miles Away, your silent black and white."
"In a silent era, perhaps it shouldn't be, love so far away."
Jiang Shan Yi looked bewildered, his figure suddenly freezing.
"You're playing a song? This song is quite nice."
No sooner had he spoken than he felt a strong gust of wind instantly sweep him up.
This feeling of soaring ninety thousand miles into the sky was simply incredible.
His vision blurred, and he was already tumbling and flying A Thousand Miles Away.
Others played songs for money; Lin Ling played songs for lives.
