Chapter 108: A Drop of Water in Need, Repaid with a Gushing Spring

Tan Qingjiang and his group had not yet recovered from their shock.

Without any fluctuation of power, a living person had been directly annihilated; they had never seen such eerie methods before.

"I understand now, did you obtain the eighth ancient artifact of origin!" Tan Qingjiang was both shocked and delighted, his eyes filled with a greedy glow.

This is the interior of the Gate of Apocalypse, after all; anything that could cause Zhuge Qianxing to fight so fiercely and even lose his life must be a treasure no weaker than an ancient artifact of origin, even if it isn't one.

If the other party possessed an ancient artifact of origin, then everything would be explained, as ancient artifacts of origin are synonymous with terror.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lichuan and the others found their breathing becoming heavy; that was an ancient artifact of origin, something that would make even the top-tier class-changers feel tempted.

But the people from the Class-Changer Guild did not make a move, choosing instead to sit and watch the tigers fight.

Ye Lin did not offer any explanation, raising his hand to cast a full-power Fireball spell.

A crimson-gold sun appeared in the air and smashed toward Tan Qingjiang and the others.

Tan Qingjiang’s expression changed, and he retreated rapidly; with a flip of his palm, a bow appeared in his hand.

The bow body was made of a dark gold material, shimmering with a sharp luster, while the bowstring was woven from an unknown silver fiber, emitting a cold aura.

A cold glint flashed in Tan Qingjiang’s eyes as he quickly pulled the bowstring taut, aiming at the incoming crimson-gold sun.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp sound of piercing through the air rang out; Tan Qingjiang released his fingers, and the bow and arrow transformed into a meteor, shooting straight at the center of the fireball.

The moment the arrow made contact with the fireball, it was like Hou Yi shooting the sun; the fireball was directly torn apart by the power of the arrow, and the exploding flames were forcibly suppressed, scattering into countless fire snakes.

"Cover me!"

Tan Qingjiang barked orders at his subordinates, then pulled the bowstring taut again, aiming the arrowhead at Ye Lin.

He was a level 62 Holy Bow Hunter, and at this distance, he was completely confident of hitting his mark every time!

"Whoosh!"

The sharp arrow turned into a stream of light, striking toward the center of Ye Lin’s brow.

Before the arrow even arrived, Ye Lin already felt a stinging sensation at the center of his brow.

"Earth-Escaping Technique!"

The Earth-Escaping Technique was sublimated to the extreme into Spatial Leap; Ye Lin’s figure shattered like a puzzle, and that lethal arrow fell into empty space.

"Wood-element spell, fire-element spell, and now an earth-element spell—what exactly is this kid’s class?" Tan Qingjiang exclaimed, his eyes full of fury.

How could one person be proficient in three completely different types of spells at the same time? Could he be an Elemental Mage?

Just as he was filled with astonishment, Ye Lin’s figure appeared once again; he did not choose to flee, but instead appeared like a ghost behind a tall, thin man.

Ye Lin was not a person who held grudges; he generally took revenge on the spot, and if his strength was insufficient, he would wait until the next meeting to take revenge.

This tall, thin man had tried to kill him in the Investigation Bureau’s prison, and for a drop of water in need, Ye Lin would naturally repay with a gushing spring.

"Surging Water Curtain!"

[Class talent sublimated to the extreme activated; Surging Water Curtain has been strengthened into Wrath of the Sea God.]

[Forbidden Spell — Wrath of the Sea God: The Forbidden Spellcaster sacrifices their own two kidneys, condenses surrounding water elements, and summons a phantom of the Sea God’s Trident. When cast in a place with abundant water sources, the power is increased by 200%.]

The water elements in the surrounding air instantly rioted, continuously gathering together to form a phantom of a golden trident; a terrifying aura rose from the trident, and the surrounding space seemed to be locked by this power.

The tall, thin man felt a chill behind his back, his hair standing on end; a strong sense of crisis made his soul tremble with fear. He wanted to run, but it was already too late!

The golden trident phantom thrust down fiercely toward the tall, thin man.

"No! My lord, save me!"

The tall, thin man was terrified; he tried his best to escape, but the golden trident was like a maggot on a tarsal bone, locking onto him tightly and piercing through his back!

Blood gushed from the tall, thin man’s mouth, and he clearly felt his life force slipping away continuously.

When he met Ye Lin’s cold gaze, he subconsciously felt that the other party’s eyes looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where, and his consciousness slowly sank into darkness.

"Let’s see how you run this time!"

Tan Qingjiang pulled his bow and arrow again, and a sharp arrow shot toward the center of Ye Lin’s brow.

He actually had the opportunity to save the tall, thin man just now, but he didn't, because the tall, thin man’s life was not worth mentioning compared to killing Ye Lin and obtaining the ancient artifact of origin.

It must be said that the timing Tan Qingjiang chose was excellent, occurring exactly when Ye Lin’s old strength had been exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated.

If an ordinary mage were here, having released four skills in succession, they would certainly have some consumption.

But unfortunately, the one he was facing was the monster that is Ye Lin!

After the Eternal Balance was repaired by Zhuge Qianxing, Ye Lin’s Undying Body became even more terrifying, reaching the point of regenerating from a drop of blood.

The organs he had just sacrificed could even regrow in just a few breaths’ time.

"Earth-Escaping Technique!"

Ye Lin’s figure disappeared again, and when he reappeared, it was another plain and unremarkable ordinary skill that directly took the life of one of Tan Qingjiang’s subordinates.

"What?!"

Tan Qingjiang was filled with fear and shock; he did not expect that Ye Lin could perform another teleportation in such a short time. Did this guy’s skills have no consumption and no cooldown?

"Attack him for me!"

Tan Qingjiang was clearly a person who had experienced great storms; he forced himself to calm down and then drew his bow and arrow again.

However, this time, he did not act easily, but let his subordinates attack Ye Lin first.

Although skills like teleportation were powerful, as long as one paid close attention when the opponent used them, one could capture the fluctuations in space and predict the opponent’s landing point.

At that time, the opponent would be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

Tan Qingjiang’s subordinates attacked one after another; fire, frost, thunder, gale, sword light, blade energy—all kinds of skills smashed toward Ye Lin, covering the sky and the earth.

This time, Ye Lin did not choose to dodge using Spatial Leap, but instead raised his hand directly.

Great Sumeru Ring, activated instantly!

Any of the attacks from Tan Qingjiang’s subordinates that were in energy form were swallowed by an invisible force the moment they touched Ye Lin’s body, all pouring into the ancient ring on Ye Lin’s hand.

The Great Sumeru Ring, with runes flowing and light flickering, seemed to have a universe shrunk countless times rotating within it.

[Sumeru Hides a Mustard Seed: The wearer can absorb energy-form attacks into the Great Sumeru Ring and convert the energy into a temporary mental power bonus.]

In an instant, the mental power bonus of the Great Sumeru Ring, refined to three stars, increased from 160% to 220%!

As for physical attacks, Ye Lin would dodge if he could, and if he couldn't, he would take them head-on.

After his mental power was boosted, Ye Lin raised his hand and cast an area-of-effect fire skill.

"Fire Rain Descent!"

Under the sublimation to the extreme, Fire Rain Descent became a Forbidden Spell: Heavenly Fire Extinguishes the World.

Dark, ink-like storm clouds gathered in the sky, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Countless crimson-gold high-temperature flames condensed from the storm clouds and then poured down toward Tan Qingjiang and the others with the power to destroy the world!

"Not good, hurry and dodge!"

Tan Qingjiang’s expression changed drastically; he sensed the terror of this strike and hurriedly called out a warning.

However, the speed of the heavenly fire was too fast and the range too wide; Tan Qingjiang’s subordinates had nowhere to hide and could only watch helplessly as the fire rain fell, submerging their bodies. They struggled in the flames, unable to break free, and let out shrill screams.

Tan Qingjiang’s expression changed again and again; he really could not understand why a single Fire Rain Descent could have such terrifying power!

Seeing Ye Lin standing there calmly and composed, he gritted his teeth, sweat sliding down his cheeks; even if he attacked again, it would be impossible to hit the other party, and since that was the case...

A fierce look flashed in Tan Qingjiang’s eyes, and he turned to shoot an arrow at Zhuge Qianxing’s corpse!

He had already seen that Zhuge Qianxing seemed to be extremely important to the man in front of him; rather than aiming at a target that could teleport, it was simpler to aim at a dead person.

He was gambling! Gambling that Ye Lin would go to block this arrow! As long as Ye Lin wanted to block this arrow, it would inevitably give him a chance for a one-hit kill!

For this arrow, Tan Qingjiang held nothing back; it swept out with a violent aura, and with his level of 62, this arrow was enough to leave Zhuge Qianxing with no bones left.

However, just as the arrow was about to hit Zhuge Qianxing’s corpse, a violent fluctuation came from the space in front, and Ye Lin’s body teleported, appearing in front of Zhuge Qianxing.

Puchi!

The arrow shot by Tan Qingjiang instantly pierced through Ye Lin’s chest, and then the violent power attached to the arrow exploded, blasting a blood hole the size of a human head in Ye Lin’s chest!

Seeing this, a look of wild joy appeared in Tan Qingjiang’s eyes; he had bet correctly!

This kid was actually stupid enough to use his own body to block an arrow for a dead person! He was truly stupid beyond saving!
