166: Facing the Fallen Angel (3/3)

“Huh?”

“Why hasn’t Li Kuangtu come out yet?”

Wind Trace felt a bit strange; based on his understanding of Li Si’s strength, he should have cleared the trial in three hours at most.

But now, eight hours had passed, and the portal to the Trial Land remained still.

“Master, Li Kuangtu has always been a maverick. Why don’t you check on him?” the Wandering Swordsman said cautiously.

“Hmm.”

Wind Trace raised his hand, summoning a breeze that condensed into a light screen in the air, like a projector, displaying Li Si’s figure.

“Hiss…”

The Wandering Swordsman immediately gasped. Good heavens, this kid! He had clearly completed the trial, so why wasn’t he coming out?

“You despicable little scoundrel, get out here!”

Wind Trace condensed a wind blade, cutting open the spatial barrier. Then, the wind blade transformed into a wind rope, pulling Li Si out of the Trial Land and back to Tafeng Canyon.

“What the hell? What’s going on?”

Li Si was having a blast grinding, with the Limiter triggering and the gale sword embryo devouring, a double boost.

Being suddenly interrupted, he was naturally displeased.

“Li Kuangtu, the Trial Land is the foundation of the Wind-Treading Tiger; you cannot enter again,” Wind Trace said with a forced smile.

“Alright.”

Li Si agreed.

“Heh heh, don’t even think about using the Great Teleportation Technique to get there. You can try, though.”

“Don’t accuse me; I wasn’t thinking of using the Great Teleportation Technique. But since you mentioned it, I’ll give it a try.”

Li Si activated the Great Teleportation Technique.

“Beep!”

“Teleportation failed.”

“Reason for failure: The target area is confined by a special barrier.”

“…”

Li Si felt helpless. Wind Trace had left no room, sealing off the Trial Land completely.

If he couldn’t go, then so be it.

“Today is a good day, everything I wish for will come true.”

“Today is a good day…”

Singing loudly, Li Si opened the data interface for the gale sword embryo.

…

This was an unprecedented, massive improvement!

An unprecedented attribute change!

The 500% percentage bonus had already reached 50% of the gale sword embryo’s peak attributes.

And at this moment, Li Si’s speed was already defying the heavens.

Attack Speed Gain: 575%.

Attack Speed Cap: 24.10.

Movement Speed Gain: 695%.

Movement Speed Cap: 1397.6.

“Heh heh—”

This level of speed was already invincible.

With just his movement speed, he could almost stand undefeated.

“Pop—”

A True God-tier scroll radiated light in Li Si’s palm.

Space vibrated.

It transported him to the trial grounds.

“Beep!”

“Congratulations! You have arrived at the Trial Area — Dawn Camp (Level 99-100).”

“Trial Content: Defend the Dawn Camp from destruction by the Fallen God Disturbance. Success in this is considered passing the trial.”

“Fallen God Disturbance?”

This… Li Si was stunned by the trial content.

A Level 99 to 100 area.

Coupled with terms like Fallen God Disturbance, it all highlighted the difficulty of the trial.

Just then, a massive figure swept over the Dawn Camp from above.

“Boom—”

Endless flames spread across the heavens and earth.

“Beep!”

“Warning: Affected by the divine power of the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree, you take 1 million points of flame damage per second until the divine power of the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree disappears.”

“Warning: Affected by the divine power of the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree, you take 1 million points of flame damage per second until the divine power of the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree disappears.”

System notifications buzzed frantically in his ears.

Li Si’s heart pounded.

Countering the interference of the fallen divine power was a piece of cake for him; the difficult part was protecting the Dawn Camp.

Just as he was at a loss, the NPCs in the camp appeared.

“The Fallen God is here!”

The armored general roared, and immediately, under his leadership, thousands of soldiers surged their magic power into the banner within the camp.

“Whoosh la la…”

The crimson banner rustled violently in mid-air, then burst forth with divine light, enveloping the Dawn Camp.

“Beep!”

“Protected by the Tiance Flag, you are immune to the effects of the flame divine power.”

“Tiance Flag?”

Li Si felt this name was familiar.

After a moment of recollection, he remembered the origin of the Tiance Flag.

This was the banner of the Heavenly Policy Army Prefecture.

And this Dawn Camp should be the camp of the Heavenly Policy Army Prefecture from tens of thousands of years ago.

The Twisted Flame Ancient Tree circled in the sky, unconsciously scattering endless flames.

“Boom boom boom…”

Terrifying divine power roared, frantically impacting the Tiance Flag, consuming the banner’s durability.

“The Tiance Flag won’t last much longer.”

Li Si used his Divine Pupil of Illusion Breaking to check the banner’s status; in two minutes at most, the Tiance Flag’s durability would drop to zero.

“Beep!”

“Warning: Please protect the Dawn Camp from destruction.”

“Hint: The Tiance War God will arrive in three minutes.”

“Hint: Please protect the Dawn Camp from harm before the Tiance War God arrives.”

“Hint: If you protect the Dawn Camp soldiers from dying, you will receive an additional reward.”

“Damn it!”

The Tiance Flag could still hold on for two minutes, which meant he had to lure away the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree.

“I’ll risk it!”

Li Si immediately ascended into the air.

“Splat—”

A sonic boom exploded.

The next second, he appeared 1400 meters high in the sky.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh…”

The Great Wilderness Bow unleashed its formidable power, rapidly firing 24 arrows per second at the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree from its maximum attack range of 2100 meters.

-4.386121 million! Skill - Life Scourge

-4.386121 million! Skill - Life Scourge

-4.386121 million! Skill - Life Scourge

…

Dense damage numbers popped up, with total damage instantly exceeding 100 million. However, this terrifying true damage had no effect on the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree.

The damage Li Si dealt wasn’t even as fast as the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree’s recovery.

Because this was a difference in power levels.

There was an insurmountable chasm between magic power and divine power.

However, Li Si’s goal was only to lure away the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree.

Clearly, his attacks could achieve that.

“Ant, die!”

The Twisted Flame Ancient Tree disdained Li Si, and in an instant, crimson-black flames struck across the sky.

“Flash!”

Space vibrated.

Li Si appeared over ten thousand meters away, turned back to give the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree the middle finger, and simultaneously activated his Divine Pupil of Illusion Breaking to check the Twisted Flame Ancient Tree’s attributes.
