Chapter 93: Angel of the Vast Sea, a Prayer of Light!
"The Demon Race is here, move!" Ye Ling shouted in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the three of them reacted quickly.
The first to react was Wang Yuanyuan, who had experience in this area; she immediately used a space-type skill to move forward.
However, she could not attack those invisible members of the Demon Race; her opponents were only those who had revealed their forms.
But this was treating the symptoms, not the root cause; those invisible Luke Demons were the most troublesome.
"Our team has no priest, so we cannot use the True Eye series of skills to make them appear; we can only fight head-on now." Wang Yuanyuan was experienced.
The other two nodded as well.
They did not intend to sit and wait for death.
"Prepare to burst out at any time, follow me," Ye Ling said in a deep voice.
"Brother Ye Ling, do you have a way to figure out their location now?" Long Lingxi was somewhat surprised.
"I don't," Ye Ling shook his head, but then said firmly: "But the Light has a way."
Having said that, the Angel Holy Sword landed in his hand, the Light Element around him continuously gathered toward him, and he struck forward immediately: "Dance of Light."
The Fourth Rank skill Dance of Light: the user gathers their own Spiritual Power and the Light Element between heaven and earth, releasing countless Light Blades toward the front.
This skill belongs to the category of very normal area-of-effect skills.
But when combined with Ye Ling's terrifying affinity for light, it allows the Light Element to find its own hate points.
Well, the Light Element and the Dark Element belonging to the Demon Race are enemies among enemies to begin with; under Ye Ling's guidance, this move was like having auto-aim, instantly locking onto those members of the Demon Race and rushing into their bodies.
In just a moment, as this move landed on those members of the Demon Race, Ye Ling's Sacred Spiritual Power also burned completely at this moment, bringing them heart-wrenching pain.
Likewise, the Holy Light Fire burned on their bodies; amidst boundless wailing, these Yak Demons revealed their forms that were being continuously burned by the Holy Light Fire.
You must know that this is an ability that can only be used at the Seventh Rank, belonging to the burning of the Light Element when it reaches its most substantial state; how could these things of only the Third or Fourth Rank possibly block it? "Move directly!" Ye Ling said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words fell, the three people behind him acted accordingly; they were geniuses among geniuses, and their combat ability was extremely powerful.
Although the number of Demon Race members here was not small, under the weakening of the Holy Light Fire, the pressure they exerted was almost negligible; with one sword strike, countless Demon Race members died on the spot and vanished into thin air.
Soon, only a pile of Demon Race corpses remained.
On the side, Long Xingyu looked at this scene and smiled slightly: "Not bad, worthy of being my disciple and my daughter; this reaction speed is indeed not bad."
"To fight quickly is the best survival rule among the Demon Race; they have hit the essence of it."
Long Xingyu evaluated, but he also looked toward another location with surprise: "Oh? Someone actually came?"
"Is it that kid Fang? That's fine, letting them have some interaction is also good."
Long Xingyu dissipated.
Soon, six people slowly flew over from another place; the Knight in the lead was none other than Zhang Fangfang. At this moment, he immediately looked toward Ye Ling's position with surprise, his expression confused. Although he hadn't been able to see everything just now, he could clearly understand what had happened.
"This?"
"If I'm not mistaken, they are all a team of Third and Fourth Rank professionals, but this feeling has a sense of the Fifth Rank?"
Zhang Fangfang said with some astonishment.
"That's not very likely, Boss? Didn't the Tianyin Hall Master say they were just a group of Third and Fourth Ranks? Otherwise, there wouldn't be a need for us to step in and help, right?" Lao Wu, a warrior from the team, also stepped forward and said with confusion.
"Go up and take a look. We originally intended to follow secretly and then head to the mission location, but looking at it now, hiding here has no value. If they discover us later, it might even increase misunderstandings, and that would be quite troublesome," Zhang Fangfang said. Having said that, he led the team to catch up.
At this time, Ye Ling's team gradually eased their state; looking at the corpses all over the ground, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
These invisible Luke Demons were not strong; at least one-on-one, even Long Lingxi, who had just awakened, was not afraid at all.
But unfortunately, there were too many of them, and their forms were hidden; this was the most troublesome thing.
"Luckily for Ye Ling's Holy Light Fire, otherwise we could have easily been finished just now," Wang Yuanyuan sighed deeply. She had been confident in escaping just now, but that would have required paying a great price.
And now that Ye Ling was here, just that one move from before had directly blown those Demon Race members to pieces.
However, there was one point she was still very curious about: "But I'm wondering, Ye Ling, what's the situation with your Holy Light Fire?"
"Isn't this skill something that only a Seventh Rank Temple Knight can master?"
Ye Ling smiled and answered: "The core of this move lies in one's own affinity for the Light Element and the amount of Light Spiritual Power that can be triggered; if the quantity is terrifying enough, it is sufficient to burn."
"Although my cultivation is not yet strong, my own affinity for the Light Element is enough to make up for this."
Hearing this, Wang Yuanyuan nodded. She became more and more curious about Ye Ling; he really was a remarkable man.
Likewise, she was also incredibly curious about Ye Ling's Innate Internal Spiritual Power; what kind of terrifying existence could possess such talent? However, before she could ask, she saw Ye Ling raise the sword in his hand again, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, continuously gathering momentum toward the front, and he said in a deep voice: "Who's there?"
Hearing this, Ye Ling stepped forward, the Angel Holy Sword in his hand continuously gathering momentum, clearly ready to act at any moment.
"Brother Ye Ling, don't be hasty, it's me." However, the voice coming from inside was one Ye Ling was very familiar with; walking toward him was a handsome young man who looked very honest and sincere.
Ye Ling naturally recognized this person.
It was Zhang Fangfang, whom he had met once on the battlefield of Exorcist Pass, so he spoke immediately: "Brother Fangfang, why are you here?"
"The Tianyin Hall Master knew we were going on a mission and specifically asked us to follow you."
"He said it was your first time on a mission and wanted to see if we could help out a bit, but looking at it now, it's good enough that we didn't need you to help us," Zhang Fangfang said with a bitter smile.
There hadn't been any other feeling when the distance was too far just now, but after getting closer, he realized the extraordinary nature of the youth named Ye Ling in front of him; and it wasn't just him, even the team members beside him were the same.
Although the youngest girl was only Third Rank, the Light Spiritual Power on her body even made Zhang Fangfang feel a sense of being suppressed.
And the other two girls definitely possessed the aptitude and strength of a Demon Hunt Squad level; and now that the time hadn't come yet, after the Demon Hunt Squad Competition started in a while, they would surely be at the forefront of the same Temple.
And as for Ye Ling, there was no need to mention him; just by feeling his aura, one had a certain feeling.
Among their Shi Ji No. 3 Demon Hunt Squad, which was not weak in the same period, all the teammates except for himself could not compare to Ye Ling; Ye Ling could even be said to be crushing them.
Even he, a Fifth Rank existence, found it hard to surpass him by much. And this group of theirs, the oldest should be that girl with pink hair, but she was at most eighteen or nineteen years old, right? And she had this kind of strength?
Are these really a group of young boys and girls?
Zhang Fangfang was very suspicious.
"Then many thanks, Brother Fangfang."
"But looking at it now, it's not necessary; you can go and do your own mission well, let's part ways here." Ye Ling waved his hand slightly. Having said that, he and the three teammates looked at each other and walked toward their destination together.
If they were within the borders of Yulong Pass, Ye Ling would not mind discussing a thing or two with Zhang Fangfang; after all, the experience of a Fifth Rank Knight was quite good for him as well.
But this was within the territory of the Demon Race, and they had just experienced a major battle; the smell of blood was very heavy, and he estimated that it would soon attract quite a few demons here, which would be troublesome when that time came.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, it was better to leave quickly.
Zhang Fangfang also watched Ye Ling and the others leave; although his expression remained as usual, he truly could not suppress the surging waves in his heart.
Because just now, when the four of them left, Li Xin and Wang Yuanyuan were easy to explain, but it was Ye Ling and Long Lingxi—the powerful aura and Spiritual Power released by the two of them made even Zhang Fangfang, who had an Innate Internal Spiritual Power of over sixty points, feel a sense of submission from the bottom of his heart.
"I am somewhat looking forward to what kind of scene it will be in a few years when these young boys and girls participate in the Demon Hunt Squad Competition?" Zhang Fangfang's gaze was profound.
Thinking this way.
"Boss, you are thinking too much." The warrior Lao Wu from the side walked up, shouldering his axe, and said in a buzzing voice: "Although Hall Master Long has the intention to protect them."
"But they are still young after all, still young; their future might not necessarily surpass yours. Moreover, as Demon Hunters, our status is much higher than the status of these self-formed teams."
"It's one thing that their attitude isn't respectful, but you being so astonished when facing them is a bit much."
The others also each took a step forward, somewhat confused; clearly, they did not understand what was happening and even somewhat misunderstood Zhang Fangfang's thoughts and actions.
This made Zhang Fangfang somewhat helpless, and he held his forehead, saying: "You five, I told you before to put more effort into your cultivation and not to be obsessed with your own world."
Afterwards, his expression gradually became heavy, and looking at the position where Ye Ling had left, he said: "Not to mention the others, just that young man named Ye Ling alone is definitely not simple."
"I have met him before. Setting aside his status and background, whether in terms of temperament or his own strength, he is an absolute powerhouse!"
"It is fortunate that we will not be his opponents; otherwise, I could even say this: I would be done for."
Hearing this, they said unconvinced: "That's impossible! He is so young, at most he is just a beginner at the Fourth Rank. I am a Fourth Rank Level 7, how could I not be better than him?"
Zhang Fangfang shook his head and said: "You are too reckless, Lao Wu. Put away your lack of conviction."
"From any perspective, Ye Ling is worth befriending. This relationship might, in the end, be able to save our lives."
Hearing this, the members of the Shi Ji No. 3 Demon Hunt Squad were stunned, all of them unconvinced by this statement.
"Save our lives?"
"Hmph, I don't know about the future, but as for now, let us be the ones to save their lives."
After experiencing this battle, the four of them, Ye Ling included, became increasingly bold.
The whole group headed forward.
Although they were on a plain, relying on some of the obstacles within it, their speed became faster and faster; quite a few patrolling demons on the road were also killed by them.
The journey could be said to be unimpeded, and they went straight for five or six hundred miles.
They were only one step away from their reconnaissance destination.
"Brother Ye Ling, on the road during the battle just now, I used that Holy Saint Spiritual Stove, and I had a feeling that I could lock onto the opponent's soul."
"I could make the hostile demon only attack me, but I can only pull one demon right now. Even if that demon's strength is weaker than mine, I can feel that it is not a problem of Spiritual Power, but simply that I cannot progress further. What is the situation with this?"
On the road, Long Lingxi asked Ye Ling.
"This is a problem of Mental Power. Your Mental Power is actually not weak, but you cannot properly manipulate this part of your Mental Power, so you can only use basic abilities."
"After we go back, you can specifically train your Mental Power. By then, you will be able to have more wonderful uses. Although Mental Power is not systematic within the Holy Alliance, its importance is not inferior to Internal and External Spiritual Power at all."
Ye Ling explained.
Hearing this, Long Lingxi nodded vigorously.
She originally wanted to discuss some parts, but at this moment, Li Xin suddenly said in a low voice: "Stop talking for now, there are people fighting ahead."
Hearing this, Ye Ling immediately used his own Mental Power to probe forward. The people there did not react to him, and everything within was seen by him.
"It is a team of demons, with a Fifth Rank Great Demon leading a group of Fourth Rank small demons fighting there against our Human Demon Hunt Squad, and that Demon Hunt Squad..." Watching, Ye Ling suddenly froze: "Eh, Zhang Fangfang, how could it be him? It looks like they should have something in their hands that increases speed, otherwise they arrived here faster than us."
"Should we act?" Li Xin asked.
"Comrades." Ye Ling only replied with this one word.
On the battlefield below, at this moment, Zhang Fangfang's teammates were each blocking more than three small demons, while Zhang Fangfang himself was having a harder time; there were seven small demons attacking Zhang Fangfang together with that Fifth Rank Great Demon.
One against eight—even if he was fearless in a one-on-one, as a Guardian Knight, he did not have very strong explosive power, and now he could only remain in passive defense.
"Damn it, this group of demons is really difficult to deal with."
"I have to find a way to break free and then defeat them one by one." Zhang Fangfang thought, his long sword becoming more and more forceful in his hand, wanting to find a breakthrough, but these demons acted as if they were not afraid of death.
Even though he brought quite a few injuries to all the demons, the number was too high, and they filled the gaps instantly, making all of Zhang Fangfang's efforts useless.
He wanted to rely on his teammates, but the situation of his teammates was even harder to handle than his own; at most, they could only ensure they didn't die, but as the battle progressed, they would likely be in trouble. "Human, still thinking of running?"
"Daring to invade the noble Dead Spirit Demon God Territory, you have already brought death upon yourselves!" A Great Demon brandished the long blade in its hand and brought it down decisively; the target was precisely Zhang Fangfang's head.
Seeing this... Zhang Fangfang was also directly stunned.
His eyes were filled with despair.
He had finally become a Demon Hunter, and although he had encountered a group of useless teammates, he at least had hope, but now he was about to die on this mission... This made him very desperate and also very unwilling.
But... there seemed to be no way. However, at this moment, that bright moon above the sky surged with layers of light, slowly falling, and accompanied by the Light Element, it transformed into a brilliant angel in the void, flashing with powerful Spiritual Power. "Canghai Angel, Prayer of Light!"
