Chapter 63

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The sound of metal clashing was endless.

Countless attacks hit the Man-Butcher Iron Cavalry.

Even a level-25 lord creature couldn't withstand the full-firepower Void Mantis, and its health bar dropped rapidly.

The Man-Butcher Iron Cavalry wasn't without resistance.

Qingniao and the Predator’s slowing skills, plus the Silver Moon Wolves’ physical slowing,

caused the Man-Butcher Iron Cavalry’s movements to be extremely sluggish, and all its attacks were blocked by the Predator!

"Roar!"

Just then,

the Man-Butcher Iron Cavalry roared in fury, and the hammer smashed heavily into the ground.

"Boom!"

For a moment,

Li Yao only felt a few stars spinning around his head.

The ten Silver Moon Wolves and the three chess pieces were all stunned in place without exception.

The existence of [King’s Might] allowed Li Yao to wake up in a short time, and he immediately discovered

that the hammer in the Man-Butcher Iron Cavalry’s hand was held high, its momentum rising steadily; it was clearly charging a big move.

Almost without any hesitation,

Qingniao being a ranged unit, the distance was far enough, so Li Yao directly put the Shelter shield on the Void Mantis.

The moment the yellow light shield appeared,

"Boom!"

The hammer smashed down, and the unparalleled powerful air wave swept across all summoned creatures in front of the Man-Butcher Iron Cavalry.

The ten Silver Moon Wolf phantoms were directly blown away by this air wave.

Two shocking damage numbers appeared above the heads of the Void Mantis and the Predator.

[-4741]

[-4512] ===== CHAPTER 139 =====

"Is this? A big move?"

Li Yao exclaimed.

Professionals have big moves, and monsters can have big moves too.

The Man-Butcher Iron Cavalry’s strength value is seven hundred, and it can deal over ten thousand damage; the damage coefficient of this skill is simply terrifying to the extreme.

The Void Mantis’s health value had just broken ten thousand; if it weren't for the Shelter being given in time,

eating this move would have meant death or severe injury!

Fortunately, Li Yao knew the principle that even a lion uses its full strength to fight a rabbit,

so he didn't capsize in the gutter.

"The tenth floor of the Tower of Heaven really cannot be underestimated."

As the words fell,

the Void Mantis and the Predator lunged at the Man-Butcher Iron Cavalry, which was now in a weakened state.

In less than a minute,

"Clack clack."

The sound of teeth gnawing on metal rang out.

[Killed a lord-level creature above your level, Man-Butcher Iron Cavalry, EXP +30%]

[Note: The professional is currently in an unlevelable state; excess EXP is stored, and the stored EXP will disappear after twenty-four hours.]

[Void Predator completed evolutionary devouring, gained maximum health.]

"Hmm? There are actually gold coins?"

The Tower of Heaven does not drop any loot; all gains for professionals are settled uniformly when leaving the Tower of Heaven.

Li Yao was a bit excited; he didn't expect an unexpected surprise!

The Tongue-Ripping Empress dropped forty-seven; even if the Man-Butcher Iron Cavalry is slightly weaker, it shouldn't be much less, right?

Li Yao picked up the gold coins and counted them; there were exactly forty, no more, no less.

In this case, the number of gold coins he possessed was completely enough to upgrade the Void Mantis to SSS-rank!

Next, he would be dealing with the Dark Wings; he knew nothing about the opponent’s strength.

To be safe, Li Yao decided to upgrade the Void Mantis’s star level now!

Suddenly,

Li Yao’s figure stalled.

As if sensing something, Li Yao looked down at his feet.

"Challenger, you are very keen."

Black mist rose suddenly all around, and in an instant, it merged and gathered, turning into a pool of black water.

The black water boiled and splashed, and a figure slowly rose from it.

Red hair, wearing a dark purple ancient robe; if it weren't for the two sharp horns on its head, its appearance would be almost indistinguishable from a human.

As it floated up, four light orbs were displayed in front of Li Yao.

"This is your reward. Choose two of them, then leave."

"Please wait a moment."

Li Yao didn't have time to look at the four light orbs now.

In his perception, the creature standing before him at this very moment was absolutely the strongest monster he had encountered so far.

Compared to the Tongue-Ripping Empress or the Man-Butcher Iron Cavalry just now, this creature was simply not on the same level!

You must know,

the Dark Wings was currently appearing only as a reward-giver and had no hostility toward him yet.

But even so,

the sense of oppression from the opponent was still so strong; if they really fought later, he would have already lost a step just in terms of momentum.

Li Yao wouldn't allow such a situation to occur.

Void Mantis, upgrade for me!

The figure hidden in the void was thus revealed.

"Hmm?"

The Dark Wings’ eyebrows twitched slightly.

It could feel a faint threat from within this mantis creature.

"An illusion?"

Li Yao didn't see the Dark Wings’ anomaly,

but was focused on checking the Void Mantis’s attributes after the star upgrade.

[Chess Piece: Void Mantis]

[Level: 20]

[Grade: SSS-rank]

[Bond: Assassin, Void Creature]

[Star Level: 4 stars (500 gold coins required for star upgrade above SSS-rank)]

[Health: 12450/12450]

[Strength: 3741]

[Spirit: 431]

[Agility: 608]

[Stamina: 429]

[Skill 1: Void Assault, hide in the void, enter level 9 stealth state, the first normal attack after stealth deals 500% physical damage, cooldown 9 seconds] ===== CHAPTER 140 =====

[Skill 2: Taste Their Fear, deal 500% physical damage to the target; when there are no enemy units within 2 meters of the target, this damage is doubled, cooldown 4 seconds]

[Skill 3: Void Spike, fire explosive spikes, deal 350% physical damage to enemies in the front range, cooldown: 13 seconds]

[Skill 4 (New): Void Leap: Enter the void tunnel, teleport to any position within a hundred-meter range, cooldown: 15 seconds]

"It’s finally here!"

Li Yao was overjoyed.

The displacement skill he had been longing for had finally arrived!

Not only that, after upgrading to four stars, the Void Mantis’s various attributes were significantly improved in all aspects.

Compared to before, it was simply a world of difference.

Simply put,

as long as you give the Void Mantis an ordinary healing professional, it could now single-handedly take down the previous Tongue-Ripping Empress.

The Tongue-Ripping Empress only crushed the Void Mantis in terms of health.

If the two were at the same health level,

with the Void Mantis’s damage, it could kill her in one encounter!

"Challenger, you have one minute left."

At this time, the Dark Wings’ impatient voice rang out.

It didn't like the feeling of having living creatures around.

Hearing this, Li Yao finally took a good look at these spoils that belonged to him.

Two beads of different colors, a long sword, a yellowed ancient book, and an iron hammer.

Unknown materials, equipment, skills.

The last one should be the weapon held by the Man-Butcher Iron Cavalry, right?

If he had to choose, it actually wouldn't be difficult.

The iron hammer was excluded first; what would a Summoner look like with an iron hammer?

As for the two beads, Li Yao didn't recognize them, so they were definitely excluded.

That left only the long sword and the skill book.

But these were all his things.

Why choose?

"I am an adult."

Li Yao said casually.

Dark Wings: "What do you mean?"

Li Yao tried to cast Appraisal on the Dark Wings.

The moment the Dark Wings’ attributes appeared in Li Yao’s mind,

a cold, lifeless chill descended suddenly.

"Cheap Appraisal."

"It seems you want to fight with me?"

The Dark Wings’ figure wasn't tall; if you didn't count the horns on its head, it was at most about one meter five.

Li Yao looked down at the creature before him with a smile.

"I said, I am an adult. These rewards..."

"I want them all!" ===== CHAPTER 141 =====
