79: Chapter 79: A Heaven-Defying Defense Comparable to a Level 5 Martial King!

Hum—!

The invisible ripple of the Taunt Aura spread out instantly.

The Shadow Bat King that had already charged in front of Instructor Lei Zhan and was about to extend its claws...

Its body suddenly stiffened.

It stopped dead in mid-air.

The eyes that were originally staring at Li Laishi underwent a strange change.

Confusion. Struggle. Then, it was instantly replaced by monstrous rage!

Boom—! Its sanity collapsed instantly. It abruptly turned its head to look at Lin Fan!

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!!!" The piercing shriek echoed through the sky.

It wasn't just this one. All the Shadow Bat Kings that had been charging toward Instructor Lei Zhan turned around in that instant.

That uniform motion was even more standard than a trained army.

"Well come!" Lin Fan watched the black shadows charging toward him, blotting out the sky. Far from being afraid, he excitedly licked his lips.

"I get rewards for being hit, and there's a chance to drop equipment if I kill you. This place is simply heaven."

Seeing the Shadow Bat Kings turning around to rush out, Instructor Lei Zhan did not hesitate. He continued to activate his talent, [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder]!

Soon, an exaggerated arc of lightning appeared on his alloy battle blade!

"His forced aggro skill can even pull a Level 5 Monster... I must seize this opportunity!"

This group of Shadow Bat Kings now had all their attention on Lin Fan; their backs were completely exposed! These were living targets!

"Die!!!" Instructor Lei Zhan let out a violent shout, transforming into a bolt of thunder as he rushed out instantly. The battle blade in his hand, wreathed in arcs of thunder, slashed repeatedly!

Thunder light exploded!

"Crackle—!"

"Pfft!"

With a wave of his hand, the blade fell. A chaotic mix of sounds arose—flesh being struck by arcs of electricity and bodies being slashed.

A Shadow Bat King flying at the very back didn't even have time to scream before it was slashed several times and chopped into pieces!

Blood and viscera splattered all over the ground. But this did not scare off the other Shadow Bat Kings.

Under the effect of the Taunt Aura, they were now like a pack of rabid dogs that had lost their sanity. Even if their companions died behind them, they would only stare at Lin Fan and bite!

Only a small number of them showed a hint of struggle in their eyes! There were clear signs of wanting to break free from the Taunt Aura. However, they couldn't do it!

Bang! Bang! Bang! The dense sound of collisions rang out again. Lin Fan was instantly submerged by the dark, oppressive herd of beasts.

[Received attack from Shadow Bat King's Shadow Impact skill! Defense +400!]

[Received attack from Shadow Bat King's Sonic Wave skill! Defense +450!]

[Received attack from Shadow Bat King's Blood-Sucking Claw Strike! Defense +460!]

[Damage taken triggered Thorn Armor! Rebounded 200% of damage!]

[...]

For a moment, a beautiful symphony leaped wildly in Lin Fan's ears.

Many Shadow Bat Kings were also directly killed by the rebound of their own damage!

They were already injured to begin with, let alone enduring the rebound damage from the Thorn Armor again. Especially since they were attacking Lin Fan without reservation, adding up to four or even six times the damage. It was equivalent to being attacked at full strength by a monster of the same level six times! How could they not die!

"The Defense points have decreased. It seems the previous increase in Defense Level is the reason why my Defense has reached a new level."

Lin Fan didn't care about the attacks around him at all; he was even analyzing why the Defense points had decreased. He took a quick glance at his panel.

[Host: Lin Fan]

[Defense Level: lv27 (9800 / 58000)]

[Strength: 22]

[Defense: 5380]

[Spirit: 140 (+40)]

[Speed: 21]

Compared to the 3550 Defense points at level 26, it had now reached 5380 Defense points! This exaggerated leap in Defense points! Lin Fan's eyes lit up when he saw it!

Of course, he was too lazy to look at the other panel values. They only increased by one or two points per level up.

"No wonder these Shadow Bat Kings don't hurt as much when they hit me!"

"I have 5380 Defense, for crying out loud! A low-stage Level 5 Martial King only has 5000 Defense points!"

"Leveling up once took me straight from a Level 4 Grandmaster to a Level 5 Martial King!"

Lin Fan really didn't expect such a large increase! If he hadn't felt that it didn't hurt as much and checked his panel, he really wouldn't have thought he could increase so much in just one level!

"Although it's just Defense, it's enough!"

Hearing his still vigorous muttering, Instructor Lei Zhan, who was on the periphery of the Shadow Bat King swarm, breathed a sigh of relief.

"This kid is truly a freak; he's fine even after this! And he's talking about a Level 5 Martial King? Is he falling asleep and starting to dream right in the middle of the siege!"

However, the thunder battle blade in his hand did not pause for a second! With one slash, he decapitated a Shadow Bat King that was still under the effect of the Taunt Aura, his gaze never leaving Lin Fan's side.

"Squeak..." Many Shadow Bat Kings saw that many of their companions around them had already died, and sanity finally regained the upper hand. They broke free from the effects of the Taunt Aura!

Fear had overcome the effect of the Taunt Aura!

[Received bite from Level 5 Monster Shadow Bat King! Defense +380!]

[Received sonic impact from Level 5 Monster Shadow Bat King! Shock Resistance +100!]

[Thorn Armor triggered! Rebounded 200% physical damage!]

[Passive skill: Pain Conversion activated! Adrenaline surge!]

Lin Fan was pressed to the very bottom, still being relentlessly attacked.

"The attack frequency has dropped, huh?"

He felt that the notification sounds in his ears had slowed down significantly. He saw that many of the surrounding Shadow Bat Kings had already broken free from the effects of his Taunt Aura. He looked at his Spirit, which was not left with much.

"Is the fear greater than the Taunt effect? If so, then I won't continue to waste Spirit."

The next second, he turned off the Taunt Aura.

"Swish—!"

The dozen or so surviving Shadow Bat Kings turned around and wanted to flee! But Instructor Lei Zhan was still chasing them from behind, hacking away like he was chopping vegetables!

"Swish, swish, swish—!"

Blue arcs of electricity flashed back and forth in the air. The electric light dancing at Instructor Lei Zhan's fingertips instantly empowered the alloy battle blade in his hand. Every time he slashed, it was accompanied by the flesh and blood of the Shadow Bat Kings flying! Blood splattered all over the ground!

The Shadow Bat Kings' expressions changed drastically. They had forgotten that there was still a butcher-like guy behind them, chasing and hacking at them!

"Squeak!!"

Several of the Shadow Bat Kings immediately opened their mouths toward Instructor Lei Zhan and launched a sonic attack! The invisible sonic wave surged toward Instructor Lei Zhan!

Instructor Lei Zhan's gaze was resolute; he held his battle blade horizontally in front of him with his right hand, pulled an alloy knife from his pant leg with his left hand, and instantly slashed it quickly against the battle blade!

"Thunder Roar!"

An extreme clashing sound of iron and steel, accompanied by hundreds of jumping blue arcs of electricity, collided head-on with the sonic wave!

The two collided violently in the air, erupting into a powerful shockwave that spread in all directions! Boom—!

Instructor Lei Zhan's military cap was blown away by the shockwave, but his expression remained incomparably resolute!

"None of you will leave alive!"

Just then, Lin Fan's voice rang out from not far away.

"Little Bull! Add some power for Instructor Lei!"

"Moo—!"

Blue arcs of electricity instantly filled the skin of the Thunder Prison Mad Bull! It was also an electric type!
