Chapter 299: Came under orders

A look of stubbornness appeared on his entire face.

"Do not hurt her.

I will go with you!"

The voice fell, his eyes staring fixedly at Cynthia.

"Heh heh, quite sensible. Since that's the case, then you can go!"

Seeing such a scene, Cynthia said with a smile.

Then, her figure flashed, and she swept toward the outer perimeter.

She prepared to flee from this place.

As long as she returned to the Illusion Domain, her mission would be complete.

"Hmph!"

And Ash, upon seeing that Cynthia was about to leave.

The long saber in his hand swung out.

"Clatter!"

The scorching saber aura whistled out like thunder.

It slashed straight onto Cynthia's body.

The opponent turned into dust in an instant and was thoroughly slaughtered.

And Ash, at this moment, could no longer hold on.

In his mind, the familiar system sound rang out.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission, please choose your reward!"

A smile appeared on Ash's face.

Because he clearly knew the preciousness of this reward.

Then, in his mind, he issued the command.

"System, give me the strongest illusion technique, 'Illusion Demon Art'!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Illusion Demon Art.

Attributes:

Amplification: Every time you level up, the charm value doubles.

The higher the skill level, the better the effect.

Note: The Illusion Demon Art can be stacked, but it requires the host to increase their strength!"

Upon hearing the voice, a look of excitement appeared on Ash's face.

The Illusion Demon Art was an extremely domineering skill.

It could allow one to briefly possess the strength of an Illusion Spirit Snake.

However, the side effects were great.

One would become extremely bloodthirsty, depending on the strength of the caster and the amount of charm value.

The final result often varied.

But at this moment, Ash did not care at all.

In his view, he just wanted revenge, and he didn't care about anything else.

As for the aftereffects, he would deal with them later.

At this moment, after obtaining the skill, Ash did not cultivate it immediately.

Instead, he came before the unconscious May.

"Little sister, don't worry, big brother will definitely heal you!"

Looking at May lying on the ground, unconscious.

His voice carried a deep sense of worry.

On the other side, at this moment, Cynthia had also converged with those few illusion beasts.

A look of anxiety appeared on their faces.

Especially Cynthia, whose eyes revealed traces of fear.

At this moment, she wished she could leave immediately.

However, having just been chased by Ash, it was very difficult to escape now.

And just at this moment.

In the distant mountain forest, two figures were walking slowly.

One of them was the Dean of the Royal City Academy.

At this moment, seeing his disciple injured, the anger in his eyes was about to erupt.

And on the other side was the Elder of the Great Desolation Sect.

The two of them had clearly received news long ago and had come to find their disciples.

"Cynthia, you dare to kill our disciples.

You are truly courting death!"

The Dean shouted coldly.

At this moment, his eye sockets were red.

His own disciple had been killed by someone; how could he not be furious?

"Who are you!"

And just after his voice fell.

Cynthia asked in return.

"Dean of the Great Desolation Academy, Zhang Zhang Yongsheng!"

Upon hearing the voice, Cynthia's pupils could not help but shrink.

The Great Desolation Academy was a top-tier power in the Great Desolation County, although not as good as the Imperial Family.

But it was not far off.

And this Dean was one of the top five experts on the continent.

Back then, he had even helped her once.

She had not expected him to appear here.

"Dean Zhang, this matter is a misunderstanding!

You cannot kill me, otherwise, His Majesty will definitely not spare me!"

Cynthia shouted in a panic.

She had come under orders this time.

She had originally thought that her mission was complete.

But she had not expected.

This time, she had encountered the Dean of the Great Desolation Academy.

She was no match for him.

And upon hearing the voice, Zhang Zhang Yongsheng let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, how can His Majesty's orders be defied?

Today, you must die!"

A cold voice rang out, and the next moment, he threw a punch.

His speed was extremely fast, and the fist aura crisscrossed the heavens and earth.

The pressure it contained almost covered the entire space.

The power of this punch was terrifying.

"Bang!"

With a booming sound.

Cynthia was sent flying directly.

Blood spilled from her mouth.

A ferocious look appeared on her face.

Then, she shouted.

"Dean Zhang, I am an Imperial Princess; if you kill me.

The Emperor will not let this go!"

Cynthia's voice carried a sense of resentment.

"Heh heh, if you don't say it, how would I know?

As long as I kill you.

Who would know what happened here?

I am the Dean of the Great Desolation County; who would care about killing you!"

Zhang Zhang Yongsheng said coldly.

Then, he actually lunged forward again.

At this moment, Cynthia felt as if her breathing had become somewhat stagnant.

"Roar!"

However, just as he was about to approach the opponent.

A roar rang out.

Immediately after, a giant tiger was seen blocking his path.

"Ang!"

The opponent's body was sturdy.

Its entire body emitted a terrifying aura.

"Divine Ability, Golden Lion Break!"

Just after the voice fell.

The giant tiger actually transformed into a golden-yellow fierce tiger.

Its four limbs stepped on the air, crashing toward Zhang Zhang Yongsheng.

"Get lost!"

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Zhang Yongsheng roared.

Then, he struck out with both palms.

"Bang!"

A violent collision rang out.

Golden light bloomed, as brilliant as fireworks.

Then, the giant tiger's body was knocked back hundreds of meters.

And Zhang Zhang Yongsheng's figure stood in place, motionless.

Clearly, under absolute strength.

The Golden Lion's attack could not do anything to him at all.

"Haha, do you think you can stop me?

You are simply dreaming!"

After seeing such a scene.

Zhang Zhang Yongsheng was not afraid at all.

He even revealed a smile.

Then, a cold glint flashed in his hand.

He actually took out a battle halberd from behind his back.

The sharp blade slashed down instantly.

The scorching saber aura made the void tremble incessantly.

Causing Xiao Qing to exclaim.

"Master, it's dangerous!"

The voice carried a deep sense of worry.

After all, Zhang Zhang Yongsheng was the Dean of the Great Desolation Academy.

His strength was peerlessly powerful.

Even Xiao Wei, under his hands, would probably not last three moves.

And Cynthia's pretty face was deathly pale.

Now, she understood in her heart that she was no match for the opponent at all.

However, just at this moment.

Xiao Jing said.

"Don't be afraid, I'll save you!"

As she spoke, she prepared to strike.

But Cynthia stopped her.

"Xiao Ling, don't be impulsive; this Dean is not someone you can provoke.

Since you are Ash's friends, let us join forces and fight to the death!"

The voice rang out.

At this moment, Cynthia had completely resigned herself to fate.

However, Ash, upon hearing the voice, fled toward the distance without hesitation.

"Haha, I was wondering who it was that dared to snatch things from my Great Desolation Academy.

So it's the son of that loser!

No wonder he can't even protect an ant!"

Zhang Zhang Yongsheng's voice rang out.

At the same time, the battle halberd in his hand swung out.

A mighty gust of wind swept toward them.

"Ang!"

And just at this moment, Xiao Jing let out a roar.

Within her body, scales emerged on the surface of her skin.

Then, she met it with a claw.

"Swoosh!"

In an instant, a mist of blood exploded outward.

A look of astonishment appeared in Zhang Zhang Yongsheng's eyes.

Then, he kicked out.

"Bang!"

Xiao Jing's body was kicked flying.

And at this moment, Ash was full of tears.

"Sister, you shouldn't have come!"

...... ..... 0

At this moment, his voice was choked with sobs.

Because his father was a great hero, but he had fallen.

All of this was caused by himself.

"Ash, sister is fine!"

Cynthia said.

Although she said she was fine, her eye sockets were red.

However, at this moment, Zhang Zhang Yongsheng did not hold back at all.

His figure flew over.

The battle halberd in his hand drew a brilliant streak, slashing toward everyone.

"Ang!"

And at this moment, the Golden Lion did not retreat but advanced instead.

Its sharp teeth extended, directly biting through Zhang Zhang Yongsheng's battle halberd.

At the same time, it pounced toward the opponent.

"Bang!"

The Golden Lion's head collided fiercely with the opponent.

Immediately, Zhang Zhang Yongsheng's body was sent flying.

However, he was not injured.

Instead, in the next moment, he stood firm.

At this moment, looking at the Golden Lion, a sinister look appeared in his eyes.

On the other side, Misty and the others were now gathered around Ash.

They had already decided to follow Ash.
