Chapter 34: Slaying Zhai Xiuqi

Ye Lin chanted the incantation of the Forbidden Spell, and then, as a Forbidden Spellcaster, golden light began to flicker within his body; the light was brilliant yet gentle, dyeing Ye Lin’s entire being gold.

Those golden rays poured out from Ye Lin’s body incessantly, and with every bit that emerged, Ye Lin’s complexion grew a shade paler.

The golden light before him spun at high speed, colliding continuously, until it finally condensed into a brilliant, eye-catching golden spear!

This spear possessed an ancient and mysterious aura from the inside out, and the tip of the spear flickered with the sharp, cold glint unique to Eternal Geng Metal, as if it could pierce through all defenses in this world.

Ye Lin raised his hand to grasp the spear, a flash of determination in his eyes; he swung his arm violently, and the golden spear, accompanied by a whistling sound of tearing air, struck directly toward Zhai Xiuqi.

[Forbidden Spell — Eternal Geng Metal: The Forbidden Spellcaster sacrifices all metal elements within their body to condense a spear forged from Eternal Geng Metal; it breaks through everything and is indestructible.]

Ever since obtaining this Forbidden Spell, Ye Lin had never used it, because this thing was for single-target damage and had a severe casting wind-up, making it truly not as useful as World-Ending Wild Thunder or Karmic Fire Burning the Heavens.

But when facing an enemy as hard as a turtle like Zhai Xiuqi, Ye Lin still remembered this Forbidden Spell!

Seeing the golden spear whistling toward him, a look of shock and uncertainty flashed across Zhai Xiuqi’s face; the golden spear attacking him was something he found unfathomable.

But he still chose to trust his Rare-grade equipment that had been refined to seven stars!

Zhai Xiuqi gripped the battle axe in his hand tightly, then exerted his full strength to drive the defensive power of the Divine Light Black Armor, preparing to take this blow head-on.

The light radiating from the Divine Light Black Armor became even more dazzling, as if forming a light shield that completely enveloped Zhai Xiuqi.

The moment the golden spear made contact with the Divine Light Black Armor, there was no deafening roar, nor any earth-shattering fluctuation.

Just like a silver needle piercing a balloon, the golden spear broke the surface at a single point; Zhai Xiuqi’s pride-and-joy Divine Light Black Armor had no ability to resist before the spear condensed from Eternal Geng Metal and was instantly pierced through.

In an instant, the light shield was broken, and both the Divine Light Black Armor and Zhai Xiuqi’s body were left with a blood hole that went straight through from front to back.

This blood hole was not large, only the size of a fingertip, and it was not fatal, yet it left Zhai Xiuqi completely dazed.

"Impossible! How could this be!"

Zhai Xiuqi’s face was filled with disbelief; the Divine Light Black Armor had accompanied him through battles for so many years, experiencing countless fights both large and small, and it had never been damaged this severely before.

While he was distracted, Ye Lin had already swung the Star-Fall Heavenly Trace and charged over.

The Life-Yang Blade Technique, stacked to ninety-nine layers, was lethal with every strike, hacking Zhai Xiuqi until he retreated repeatedly; at this moment, Zhai Xiuqi’s mind was in chaos, and he was completely unable to resist.

Soon, he discovered an even more exaggerated fact: Ye Lin had been fighting him for so long, and blood flames had been burning on his body the entire time, which meant that Ye Lin had been keeping a Forbidden Spell active to burn his life force.

But after burning it for so long, why was Ye Lin completely fine?

"Kid, are you really an immortal being?" Zhai Xiuqi was both shocked and furious; what kind of monster had Boss Kensen provoked this time?

Not only could he keep a Forbidden Spell active to burn his life force for so long, but even after he had left so many wounds on him, he was still jumping around, showing no signs of dying at all—it was simply horrifying.

Ye Lin did not answer him, but instead raised his hand and smashed out another Forbidden Spell.

"Forbidden Spell — World-Ending Wild Thunder!"

Once again, the familiar Chaos Divine Thunder smashed down directly; Ye Lin did not hold back at all, attacking with full force.

Although the Divine Light Black Armor could still resist the attacks of the Chaos Divine Thunder, it was already in a damaged state, and the Chaos Divine Thunder poured in continuously through the gaps, wantonly destroying Zhai Xiuqi’s body.

Zhai Xiuqi was shocked and furious; if this continued, he would really die at Ye Lin’s hands!

But he was someone who had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood; facing the threat of death, Zhai Xiuqi was not afraid, but instead became even calmer.

Having regained his focus, Zhai Xiuqi swung his battle axe, once again suppressing Ye Lin; every axe strike was heavy and powerful.

Ye Lin did not indulge him either, raising his hand to unleash another Eternal Geng Metal, and the golden spear struck toward Zhai Xiuqi once more.

This time, Zhai Xiuqi did not dare to be stubborn and take it head-on; a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and then his figure flickered, his speed suddenly increasing explosively.

"Shadow-Swift Evasion!"

Zhai Xiuqi’s speed surged violently; it was hard to imagine that such a robust body could possess such fast speed.

He left an afterimage in place and dodged the golden spear Ye Lin had launched; his speed was so fast that before Ye Lin could even react, Zhai Xiuqi had already arrived in front of him!

"Sun-Shattering Holy Axe!"

A flash of an axe shadow streaked by like thunder and lightning, and a chill struck from the neck; Ye Lin’s head flew high into the air, then rolled onto the ground, his face still wearing a look of terror, leaving only a headless corpse standing blankly in place.

Zhai Xiuqi panted heavily; don't let the fact that he killed Ye Lin in one axe strike fool you—this was already his final trump card.

"Phew! I’ve chopped your head off; I don't believe you won't die this time!"

Zhai Xiuqi let out a long sigh of relief; only he knew how thrilling this battle had been—he had almost died at Ye Lin’s hands.

Just as he thought he had finished off Ye Lin, a long blade carrying starlight pierced through his heart without warning, destroying the vitality within his body!

Zhai Xiuqi turned his head in disbelief; the great battle had just ended, and at this moment, he had absolutely no defenses.

The one who had struck was none other than Ye Lin’s headless corpse!

After stabbing through Zhai Xiuqi’s heart with one blade, the headless corpse walked toward the fallen head, picked it up, aligned it a few times, and reattached it to the neck.

"You are strong, it’s just a pity that you were still too careless." Ye Lin calmly withdrew his blade, blood pouring incessantly from the wound, signaling that Zhai Xiuqi’s life was about to reach its end.

Facing death, Zhai Xiuqi looked at Ye Lin with a mix of shock and rage: "Careless your mother! You damn bastard really are an immortal being..."

After realizing this, Zhai Xiuqi clearly knew that his death was not unjust; facing a monster that possessed an immortal body and extremely formidable combat power, he had died exactly as he deserved.

After all, who could have imagined that an enemy whose head you had just chopped off could still walk over and stab you in the back?

Zhai Xiuqi did not say anything more to Ye Lin, but instead braced his body, rolled over, and looked toward a direction inside the black market, his eyes filled with worry.

"Boss Kensen... quick... run away... mon... monster!"
