92: Annihilation power, threat of death!

Space-type abilities, regardless of the variety, are quite troublesome.

Boom!

The powerful impact hit the old man again, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea, unable to cause any effect on the opponent.

Eye of Insight!

Mysterious Old Man (Lord): Rank 50

health: ???

Attack: ???

Skills: ???

Since the Rank exceeded the limit of the Eye of Insight, he could only see that the old man was at the Lord-tier level of strength; all other data appeared as question marks.

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow; it seemed this ruin was indeed quite interesting.

Although the old man hadn't taken any damage, Lin Yue's Casting Speed was simply too fast, making it very difficult for the old man to mount an effective counterattack.

For a moment, the two were deadlocked at the entrance of Phoenix Village—one outputting full power, the other defending with all his might.

Just like that, a minute passed.

The old man was completely unfazed, whereas Lin Yue's mana was starting to run dry.

Replacing his equipment with full mana-boosting gear and drinking a mana potion, Lin Yue's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Although the current battle was tense, it suited his appetite perfectly.

Previously, he had always felt that wild monsters were too easy to farm, making it hard to stack health, but now there was this freakish NPC of an old man.

Stacking health would be too easy.

Ineffective attacks.

Since Lin Yue couldn't kill the old man, he could naturally keep stacking his health indefinitely.

"Attacks like these are useless."

The old man took a leisurely stroll; simply by standing there, he could block all of Lin Yue's attacks.

There was no need for the old man to remind him; Lin Yue had understood long ago. He was still bombarding the opponent without a moment's pause solely to stack health.

Boom, boom, boom!

As fireballs continuously flew toward the old man,

The temperature in the air began to rise steadily, creating ripples of distorted heat waves.

Firelight blazed all around as the white-haired old man was completely enveloped in flames and lightning; endless roars of explosions sounded as he was totally submerged in a sea of Spells.

Fireballs were launched continuously.

Every time, although they didn't cause effective damage, they could push the old man back bit by bit, producing a certain knockback effect.

There seemed to be an invisible protective shield around the old man. With his hands guarding his body, he could easily intercept the fireballs and lightning no matter which angle they attacked from.

health +4.

health +4.

Lin Yue was having the time of his life stacking health.

In just over a minute, his health had suddenly increased by 6,000 points.

Wasn't this efficiency much more satisfying than farming wild monsters?

Before Lin Yue could celebrate for long, the old man was pushed back a certain distance by his strikes.

Immediately after, his figure flashed, and another identical old man appeared.

Without a word, it charged rapidly toward Lin Yue.

"Bagua!"

With a soft shout, his withered hands suddenly swelled into thick arms, carrying a sharp palm wind as he aimed a strike directly at Lin Yue's face!

Lin Yue's expression changed. He had been very happy in a one-on-one.

But now that the old man had used a Clone, the battle situation underwent a subtle shift.

Anyone could see the old man was a master; even with full output, Lin Yue could only barely hold his own against him.

But now, with an identical Clone attacking, the result was completely different.

MISS!

The sharp palm wind whistled past Lin Yue's ear. In the moment of crisis, he quickly twisted his body and dodged the strike.

However, his high-frequency attacks also suffered a brief pause.

Before Lin Yue could breathe a sigh of relief, the attack he had just dodged exploded violently two meters behind him.

A massive cloud of dust filled the air, and a crater over a meter deep appeared behind him!

Hiss!

Taking a quick glance, Lin Yue felt his heart race with alarm. If that kind of output had hit him directly, he would definitely have lost a huge chunk of health.

"Quick reflexes, Young Man."

The old man looked at Lin Yue quite relaxedly, yet his Bagua Palms never stopped. His broad palms moved like swimming dragons, each strike aimed at Lin Yue's head.

At the same time, on the other side, because a gap had appeared in Lin Yue's attack frequency, the old man who had been passively defending also began his counterattack.

"Annihilation!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, the old man withdrew one hand, and a massive black sphere began to condense within it.

A pressure that felt as if it would cause Soul Emergence suddenly appeared. The massive black ball began to continuously absorb energy from the space around it, then gave a sudden jolt and started to shrink.

Shrink, shrink, shrink!

The black sphere, originally half the size of a person, shrunk to the size of a ping-pong ball right before his eyes.

The immense pressure didn't disappear; instead, it grew even stronger.

Even Lin Yue's movements as he dodged the Clone's attacks stiffened, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at the black light sphere in the original old man's hand!

Not good, I absolutely cannot take that thing!

Feeling an inexplicable sense of dread, Lin Yue felt that if he took a hit from the old man's attack, he would be half-dead even if he didn't die.

Sprint!

He immediately activated the Sprint skill. The special effects of the Boots of Gale always managed to turn the tide of battle.

It was just too useful.

Sure enough, with his speed suddenly increased by fifty percent, although the original old man held the black light sphere, he hesitated to throw it.

Smack, smack!

-15,555!

-15,555!

Although Lin Yue's speed had increased, because he was constantly watching the light sphere in the original old man's hand, he was inadvertently struck twice by the Clone's Bagua Palms.

float!

The moment Lin Yue took the Bagua Palms, his body was sent flying, entering a float state.

Not only was the damage insane, but it even had this special effect?

Lin Yue's gaze narrowed slightly.

Now! The original old man made his move. The ping-pong-ball-sized black sphere seemed to slice through the Void Realm.

It flew at an extremely high speed toward the floating Lin Yue.

Purify!

Wings of Gale!

Lin Yue's pupils suddenly constricted.

The black ball was incredibly fast, and the distance between him and the original old man was less than ten meters.

There was simply no reaction time; subconsciously, Lin Yue used both skills simultaneously.

Rumble!

A deafening sound rang out as massive clouds of dust filled the entire village entrance. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were under attack by a Demon God!

Did it hit?

The old man squinted, staring intently at the spot where Lin Yue had just been; it was hard to tell immediately if the attack had been successful.

-188,888!

Lin Yue's figure shot out rapidly from the dust. He clutched his left shoulder tightly, his face filled with shock.

It hit, but not completely!

The old man's attack just now had been too fast—so fast it was hard to react to.

He had used Purify plus Wings of Gale to dodge immediately, but he had still been grazed by a tiny bit.

Just that tiny bit had directly caused a terrifying damage figure of nearly two hundred thousand.

Meanwhile, the main body of the black light sphere flew into a nearby boulder; the entire boulder was silently annihilated, replaced by a massive crater five meters in diameter.

Terrifying, simply too terrifying!

Looking at his health bar, which had been reduced by nearly one-seventh, this was the first time he had felt a death threat in the Land of the Final End...
