216: One-time outbreak

Dead? Or controlled?

They couldn't understand, but they were deeply shaken.

Meanwhile, Li Wen, who had just gotten back on his feet, saw the wild joy on his face completely freeze before it had even fully faded.

He stared blankly at the two strangely confronting figures in the field.

What's going on?

Why did they stop?

Why didn't Your Excellency just poke that kid to death?

"Your Excellency, you..."

Li Wen called out tentatively.

However, there was no response.

The assistant with the black-rimmed glasses remained motionless, still in that rushing posture.

The two Tianqing Experts next to Li Wen also sensed that something was wrong.

They exchanged glances, both seeing horror in the other's eyes.

"You... what did you do to him?"

One of the experts mustered his courage and sternly questioned Lin Yu.

Lin Yu ignored him.

His attention was completely focused on the Visitor from the Abyss Domain who was being controlled.

He could feel that the opponent's life force was rapidly draining away.

But it wasn't fast enough.

The million-fold amplified 【Lightning Spell (Gold)】 indeed had power beyond his imagination.

But it was just a basic skill after all.

Trying to instantly kill an Abyss Domain elite whose strength far surpassed Chen Ao was still a bit difficult.

Lin Yu's fingers gently rubbed together.

Crack.

Another imperceptible soft sound.

The second golden electric arc shot out, accurately hitting the Visitor from the Abyss Domain.

This time, the opponent's body began to show visible changes.

Fine golden electrical patterns appeared on the surface of his skin, as if engraved with some mysterious runes.

His body began to tremble slightly.

That was the uncontrolled spasm of cells under the stimulation of electric current.

Painful?

Perhaps.

But more than that, it was fear from the depths of his soul.

"You..."

A hoarse, dry syllable, as if his vocal cords had been rubbed with sandpaper, was squeezed out of the assistant's throat with difficulty.

This was the last word he would leave in this world.

Lin Yu's movements didn't stop.

"Snap!"

The third one.

"Snap!"

The fourth one.

His finger-snapping motion became faster and more practiced.

With the Slow Spell, he had ample time to stack more damage.

And the slight paralyzing effect of the Lightning Spell also made it harder for the opponent to break free from the Slow Spell's control.

As he cast the Lightning Spell more and more often, his control over its form became increasingly precise.

At first, there would still be tiny electric arcs escaping.

Later, all the energy was perfectly confined within that golden electric arc, without any waste.

Silent, soundless.

Only the crisp sound of snapping fingers echoed rhythmically on the dead silent street.

"Snap!"

"Snap!"

"Snap!"

Li Wen and the others were completely dumbfounded.

They looked at Lin Yu as if he were a devil.

That 'Your Excellency' who had been so arrogant before, making them unable to even stand steadily, was now like a target fixed in place, allowing Lin Yu to 'whip his corpse' over and over again with that bizarre 'Lightning Spell'.

What terrified them most was this.

They felt nothing.

No energy fluctuations, no elemental aura, nothing.

Only that young man, snapping his fingers, over and over again.

This was more hair-raising than any earth-shattering scene.

Finally.

After Lin Yu snapped his fingers for the unknown number of times.

The 'Your Excellency' opposite him, that elite from the Abyss Domain, his body finally reached a critical point.

His body began to silently disintegrate.

It wasn't a bloody explosion, but a more bizarre, more thorough annihilation.

Starting from his fingertips, skin, muscles, bones—all material structures quietly turned into the smallest particles, dissipating into the air.

As if he wasn't a living being, but a humanoid figure made of sand, now gently brushed away by an invisible hand.

The effect of the 【Slow Spell】 also neared collapse under this extreme destruction.

The forcibly stretched sense of time in space began to rapidly rebound.

Just a split second before the assistant's body completely turned to dust.

The hundreds and thousands of million-fold amplified 【Lightning Spells】, forcibly delayed and confined in a time rift by the 【Slow Spell】, finally broke free.

Without warning.

"Boom!"

The world lost its sound and color.

An indescribable storm, composed purely of light and electricity, exploded with a roar, centered on the spot where Lin Yu and the assistant had stood.

It wasn't a single beam of light, but hundreds and thousands of golden lightning bolts, compressed to the extreme, wildly unleashing in all directions at the same instant.

Blinding white light devoured everything.

Li Wen had just gotten back on his feet, the relief of surviving a disaster not yet fully registered on his face, when he was completely submerged by this pure white sea of light.

His mind went blank; he couldn't think of anything.

Lin Yao and Wang Qingxuan subconsciously closed their eyes, but the light was so overpowering that it easily penetrated their thin eyelids.

Their world was left with only a dazzling white.

Immediately after, a faint but irresistible tingling sensation swept through everyone present.

This was merely the most insignificant ripple of the million-fold Lightning Spell's explosion.

But for ordinary people, this was not something easily withstood.

Li Wen and his two Tianqing Experts collapsed stiffly without even a groan, completely losing consciousness.

Wang Qingxuan grunted, feeling all her strength drained, her body going limp, about to fall.

Lin Yao, next to her, was slightly better, but not by much.

She managed to support Wang Qingxuan, and the two leaned against the wall, preventing themselves from collapsing to the ground.

After the numbness receded, there was a prolonged ringing in the ears and dizziness.

The world was terrifyingly quiet.

After a long time, perhaps just a minute, or perhaps ten minutes.

Lin Yao and Wang Qingxuan finally managed to adapt to the darkness before their eyes; they trembled and slowly opened their stiff eyelids.

But even after opening their eyes, it was still dark... until time flowed again, flowing... and light slowly returned.

However, the next second, they were completely stunned.

The scene before them made them wonder if they were hallucinating due to the earlier impact.

The originally empty and dilapidated street was now, at some unknown point, filled with people.

Dressed uniformly in black combat suits, covered with fine tactical armor, and wearing full-coverage tactical helmets, only their calm, indifferent eyes were visible.

They gripped oddly shaped gun-type weapons, each designed with different professional characteristics, their muzzles gleaming with dangerous, eerie blue light.

Dozens of red laser designator lines crisscrossed on the ground, forming an impenetrable net that completely sealed off the entire area.

Their stance, their posture, all exuded an aura of iron discipline and professionalism.

These were not ordinary police, nor even regular military.

These were true elites, a special operations unit that would only appear in the highest-level crisis events!

When did they arrive?

Why was there no sound at all?

Oh, perhaps everyone was blind and deaf just now... Lin Yao's heart leaped into her throat.

She subconsciously looked at her brother.

Lin Yu still stood in place.

He seemed completely unaffected by the terrifying explosion, not even a wrinkle on his clothes.
