Chapter 232

The massive amount of life force that those pseudo-wizards "wasted" and "dissipated" when casting spells was actually "sacrificed" to the real illegal wizard behind them through an extremely hidden and special method.

Since there was such a "network cable" between the two sides that was always kept connected, the other party could naturally perceive the wizards' search traces through the sudden death of these "base stations."

Thereby making advance judgments and evading.

And the wizard squad they met just now had been chasing all the way from another continent.

Jie Ming and David flew at high speed while summarizing and aggregating the information they had just exchanged from them with their own findings over the past two years.

All clues pointed to the same area, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

"It can be confirmed." In Jie Ming's eyes, massive data streams flashed, "That illegal wizard should now be hiding in the middle of the ocean, on some inconspicuous desert island!"

Jie Ming spent these full two years, using his massive computing power as a Tier 2 wizard, coupled with the ability of the "Eye of Universality," to finally crack the other party's eerie life force transmission path and trajectory.

Moreover, Jie Ming also successfully tracked back along this invisible "network cable" and caught the approximate coordinates where this illegal wizard was currently located!

With the approximate location, Jie Ming and the others arrived at the target sea area quickly at their speed.

After crossing a certain climate zone, the ocean weather immediately became harsh.

Storms raged, and dark clouds pressed down on the sea surface like lead blocks.

The two soon arrived at the target location surrounded by storms and reefs.

Under that violent thundercloud storm, a pitch-black, isolated island emitting an ominous aura appeared and disappeared.

Just as they were preparing to break directly into that uninhabited small island, as expected, they encountered a large number of crazy obstructions on the periphery!

"They're here!" David said in a low voice.

I saw that in the turbid seawater, twisted figures broke through the water one after another.

They felt the surging life aura on Jie Ming and David, and like sharks that smelled blood, they flew into the sky crazily, blocking the two's path.

That was a group of "pseudo-wizards" who looked like dried corpses whose life force had been completely sucked dry!

There was clearly no normal life force fluctuation to be felt on these people anymore, but they seemed to still retain residual combat consciousness and extremely powerful mobility.

What surprised Jie Ming even more was that, judging from the pure and violent negative energy fluctuations emanating from their bodies, the strength of every "pseudo-wizard" here had actually steadily reached the Tier 2 level!

More importantly, this was not all.

Besides the dozen or so "pseudo-wizards" in the front maintaining human form, behind them, there were monsters that might have numbered over a thousand, dense and packed, which one could tell at a glance were transformed from various powerful marine creatures!

They were also withered in body, as if their flesh and blood had been drained, but the powerful energy fluctuations in their bodies were no weaker than the human-shaped pseudo-wizards.

A great battle was on the verge of breaking out!

Jie Ming and David greeted them directly without any communication!

Boom!

David took the lead, and that ferocious pitch-black heavy armor erupted with a dull roar.

His fighting style was so wild that he didn't look like a wizard at all, but more like a humanoid tyrannosaurus.

No spells, no techniques, he directly slammed into the densest group of monsters!

A heavy punch wrapped in substantial earthy-yellow energy slammed out, and the head of a giant whale corpse monster comparable to a small hill, which was harder than refined steel, exploded like a fragile clay pot instantly.

A side kick with great force and momentum directly kicked three human-shaped pseudo-wizards in half, and the remains turned into fly ash in the air.

Every one of his attacks was simple, rough, and efficient, with power crushing to the extreme, clearing out patches of vacuum zones in the dense enemy crowd!

And on the other side, Jie Ming, after judging the situation in an instant, unexpectedly did not cast spells from a distance, but also chose to rush up with David.

As soon as he engaged the enemy, Jie Ming felt huge pressure.

Jie Ming keenly perceived that the eerie negative energy emanating from these monsters had extremely strong corrosiveness to energy shields, and at the same time had an extremely strong erosion effect on the life force of the attacked.

Those thick-skinned sea beast corpses roared and formed a solid wall of flesh, using their massive bodies to take Jie Ming's attacks head-on, hindering his movement.

And in the rear, those human-shaped pseudo-wizards frantically released dense pitch-black fireballs.

These fireballs were not only powerful, but also carried bone-chilling cold and a strong life force absorption effect.

The most troublesome thing was that their attacks did not distinguish between friend and foe, violently covering the entire front-line battlefield.

But strangely, the pitch-black flames burning on those sea beast corpses and the pseudo-wizards themselves not only didn't cause damage, but like the best tonic, quickly repaired the damage Jie Ming and David had dealt to them!

"Damn it! So troublesome!" Jie Ming cursed secretly, his figure flashing rapidly in the dense rain of fireballs.

At first, that pervasive life force erosion made his movements slightly sluggish.

A wave of cold weakness constantly tried to drill into his body, extracting his power.

But the next moment, the body-tempering method he had forged through countless hardships began to operate on its own.

Facing this strange external energy stimulation, every cell of his was like a gluttonous beast waking up from sleep, frantically analyzing, parsing, and memorizing the characteristics of this negative energy.

Then it began to autonomously adjust the body tissue structure, producing powerful resistance!

In the intense high-speed movement and fighting, Jie Ming's body was undergoing a fierce evolution invisible to the naked eye.

The sluggishness brought by life force erosion faded rapidly, and that cold weakness disappeared like a receding tide.

In just a dozen breaths of time, he went from needing to be distracted to resist at first, to later just feeling slightly uncomfortable, until finally—

Hum!

An invisible barrier was generated from within his body!

That negative energy erosion, which had originally been like a maggot on a tarsal bone, now touched his body and was like a stream hitting an indestructible reef, unable to shake it in the slightest!

It only took a few hours for Jie Ming to become completely immune to this energy.

"Phew..."

Jie Ming let out a long breath, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

The final shackles had been broken, and his fighting style changed instantly.

His speed suddenly increased by a notch, his figure transformed into blurred afterimages that were hard to capture, perfectly avoiding the vast majority of fireball attacks.

On his hands, an energy field that was highly condensed and shining with complex brilliance instantly covered them, no longer a simple shield, but transformed into the sharpest weapon.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Every one of his strikes became precise and fatal.

No longer needing to blow up the entire monster, the hand blade covered with a rune force field was like the sharpest light blade, accurately cutting into the neck of the human-shaped pseudo-wizard or the energy core of the sea beast corpse.

With every flash, the soul fire of a monster was extinguished instantly, and the stiff corpses fell from the sky like dumplings.

The pressure instantly came to the monsters' side!

Jie Ming and David, one agile and one fierce, were like two red-hot sharp knives, cutting fiercely into the butter-like enemy formation, starting to break through toward the depths at high speed!

After a long time, when the last unwilling roar dissipated in the storm, this sky finally returned to calm.

On the sea surface, countless broken and withered corpses floated.

Jie Ming and David finally cleared out this enemy force on the periphery that was so large it could be called a "legion."

The two floated in mid-air, still emanating astonishing murderous aura.

They looked at each other, without a moment's rest, and transformed into streaks of light again, flying into the interior of the island shrouded in dark clouds!

Passing through that line of defense built by death and stepping onto the land of this isolated island, what came from beneath their feet was a kind of unsettling dead silence.

There was no vegetation on the island, not even moss with tenacious life force.

There were only pitch-black reefs that seemed to have been scorched, and the air was filled with a rich smell of blood and decay.

After arriving at the very center of this island, Jie Ming and David finally saw the inconspicuous figure who had been standing in the center of the island all along.

This person's body looked very normal, one could even say healthy.

Skin ruddy, limbs well-proportioned, not at all like the monsters outside whose life force had been completely extracted and whose bodies were withered like skeletons.

Their appearance was also unremarkable, wearing a simple gray cloth garment, with the traces of wind and frost carved on their face.

At first glance, it looked just like an ordinary farmer who had worked in the fields for a lifetime.

However, it was such a person who was emanating a powerful energy fluctuation that made one's heart palpitate!

In Jie Ming's eyes, the energy flow on this person was fluctuating crazily, and various data in his mind were refreshing crazily like a waterfall.

He carefully sensed the other party's massive and condensed energy fluctuation, and then his expression turned dark abruptly.

He couldn't help but turn his head, lowered his voice to David beside him, and complained angrily: "The academy's intelligence department can really be collectively dismissed this time! Where is this guy a Tier 2? This is clearly a genuine Tier 3!"

And... not the kind that just entered Tier 3!

Fortunately, the other party seemed to only use the wizard system as a way to improve power and hadn't seriously studied it.

David didn't answer, just shook his head slowly, his eyes hidden beneath the heavy armor visor exceptionally complex.

He was neither surprised nor afraid, just quietly looking at the familiar yet strange figure below.

The two slowly landed from mid-air, stepping on the hard black reef, making a slight sound.

Three figures formed a standoff situation in the center of this dead silent island.
