Chapter 80: Support

After Yun Ye was pushed away, various killing intents erupted.

The high-level monsters that had silently killed Pan Ming reappeared, and countless threads enveloped Yun Ye, aiming to slice him apart.

However, the extreme temperature of Azure Flame blocked the threads, melting them upon contact and destroying their spirit. Unable to control them any longer, the monsters found themselves yanked towards Yun Ye.

The master of the threads was a four-eyed water spider, a Water Element monster whose innate ability was to spin webs.

The threads, infused with spirit energy, appeared ordinary but moved at high speed; once ensnared, even metal would be cut instantly.

The only downside was that the threads could be severed by high temperatures, and Yun Ye’s Azure Flame was particularly effective against them.

After burning through the threads with a few swift movements, Yun Ye continued toward the Thunder Light Snake, this time paying close attention to the movements of the surrounding monsters, not wanting to give them any opportunities.

Yet, during this brief moment, the Thunder Light Snake’s injuries healed quickly. It raised its head and roared in anger, gathering a massive amount of lightning from its tail to its head, forming a highly compressed ball of lightning.

The power of this attack far exceeded that of the Thunder Beam!

“So it has mastered a second supernatural ability!”

Yun Ye had been observing with Spirit Sense; sensing trouble as the Thunder Light Snake charged its attack, he immediately unleashed his strength and accelerated closer.

Half of his power converted into Heart Fire, while the other half, he used Black Flame to activate the Bathing Fire Feather Coat and launched the Song of the Flame Sword Dance, dramatically increasing his speed!

The greatest strength of the Song of the Flame Sword Dance lay in its ability to change direction at any time. In the water, Yun Ye could flicker and, after forcibly avoiding numerous monster assaults, appeared like a ghost at the side of the Thunder Light Snake.

The Thunder Light Snake sensed Yun Ye’s approach, twisting its body to aim the lightning ball at him.

Then it exploded, shooting out a massive beam of light that pierced through the water and shot directly into the bottom of the valley!

Second Supernatural Ability: Thunder Light Cannon!

The power of this strike had clearly reached the level of major Spiritual Law, making it nearly impossible to evade.

However, Yun Ye’s speed surpassed the Thunder Light Snake’s reaction time, and in the final moment, all that was affected was a mere afterimage.

If the Song of the Flame Sword Dance was practiced to a Minor Achievement, it would leave afterimages in the air; a series of impressions would look like a painting of sword dancing, hence the name Song of the Flame Sword Dance.

After awakening his Spirit Sense, Yun Ye’s Song of the Flame Sword Dance stepped into the realm of Minor Achievement, enhancing his technique significantly.

As the Thunder Light Snake assessed whether it had dealt with its target, Yun Ye’s figure suddenly appeared, and with one sword strike, he severed its head!

Gazing at the gathering spirit energy of the snake’s head, Yun Ye unleashed a tremendous wave of light from his body, obscuring the vision of all surrounding monsters.

Halo Fire!

Although some monsters did not rely on sight, the blocking power was undoubtedly greatly diminished. Yun Ye quickly maneuvered through, cutting down large numbers of threatening monsters.

The few high-level monsters present were nearly all eradicated by him, including the four-eyed water spider.

Then, Yun Ye swiftly left the bottom of the water and rushed back to the fortress.

There were too many ordinary monsters; if he continued to fight, his strength would soon be depleted. With the threat of high-level monsters gone, the fortress could hold for a while longer.

When Yun Ye returned to the fortress, he found that three Black Armored Spiritual Law masters had already joined the fray.

They held their weapons and stood at the front of the fortress, while numerous dismembered bodies of monsters lay scattered across the surface of the water.

Reinforcements from Baishi Town had arrived!

Seeing Yun Ye, whose entire body was wrapped in a thick killing aura, the three Black Armored Spiritual Law masters felt surprised.

Through Xiang Yande’s words, they had already learned that the one taking the mission was a civilian newcomer.

A civilian had the strength to fight back against the tide of Soul-less Ghost Fish monsters? That was strange.

“I have dealt with five high-level monsters, but there are too many ordinary monsters. I have exhausted my spirit energy, and the rest is up to you.”

Yun Ye spoke first, leaping onto the fortress and finding a place to rest.

One of the armored soldiers twirled his spear and said, “Being able to take down the Thunder Light Snake shows that this civilian is indeed impressive. No wonder he could defeat you; his strength is probably not less than that of veterans with five or six years of experience.”

“Yang the Spiritual Law Master’s flames are innate spirit fire. It is not surprising that ordinary flames could not break his defenses and that he has grown to this level.”

The voice from beneath the mask was cooling and belonged to Xiao Yue, who had already joined a squad of the Black Armored Army.

Or rather…

Tong Huo Yang!

The man slammed the tail of his spear into the water’s surface, and an astonishing statue rose from behind. He said, “It’s good that we’ve dealt with the Thunder Light Snake; there shouldn’t be another here. Let’s use major Spiritual Law to destroy the tide of water and the Soul-less Ghost Fish. I will handle it.”

“…Understood.”

Tong Huo Yang and another Black Armored Spiritual Law master responded simultaneously.

In the next second,

The two awakened their Spiritual Roots, and two massive Flame Dragons leaped up, directly diving into the tide.

After all, this tide was merely created by a water elemental spiritual law—it was no different from human-made Water Elemental Spiritual Law.

As soon as the Flame Dragons landed, large swathes of the tide evaporated, and many monsters were boiled to the surface.

One by one, the hidden Soul-less Ghost Fish revealed themselves, dying completely.

However, this death toll was nothing compared to the hundreds of monsters still charging towards the three.

“Such ferocity…”

Yun Ye gasped in shock.

Xiao Yue’s strength had seen explosive growth compared to February; her major Spiritual Law had significantly increased in power.

However, her lifespan had also dropped from 68 to 65.

In just half a year, Xiao Yue had lost three years of her life.

The team’s exploitation of Xiao Yue was too harsh!

It is essential to note that Xiao Yue had achieved major Spiritual Law, completely different from those poor ordinary civilians. Using Spiritual Roots revival placed a smaller burden on her, and to lose three years of life under such circumstances, how many missions had she undertaken?

Couldn’t she do fewer?

Soon, Yun Ye thought of Wang Lixian…

His lips twitched.

In this world, those nurtured by families must pay back to their families—there is no freedom in that regard.

Born into a noble family, Xiao Yue was merely a useful tool; refusing missions would undoubtedly lead to dire consequences. That was completely different from Yun Ye’s independent lifestyle as a civilian.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The leading man was incredibly powerful, constructing a statue that reshaped the terrain, swiftly exterminating monsters that had lost their home advantage and charging into the Moon Reflection Water Pool to deal with the remaining monsters.

In front of this man, quantity meant nothing. Yun Ye saw a continuous flow of power surge from the ground into the statue, indicating that this man had mastered a perpetual combat spiritual law similar to the Immortal Flame.

Hundreds or even thousands of monsters fell before him.

Though he did not display overwhelming individual strength, he was undoubtedly a strong figure, probably akin to Xiang Liangren.

“The mission is complete…”

Yun Ye felt the tokens vibrating and did not stay any longer; he left directly.

This task was merely a requirement imposed by the authorities, and now that it was settled, he had no interest in lingering.

Overthinking would not be as beneficial as focusing on cultivation.

Otherwise, when would he have the chance to take revenge?

“However, it will be soon.”

Yun Ye had already vaguely envisioned the constructs of his revenge in his heart.
