Chapter 165

"Lissa!"

"What's going on? What happened?"

"Be careful, don't get close—he doesn't seem ordinary."

……

The noise outside the cave was loud, compounded by the earlier attack.

The other members of the Six Demons Generals also burst out of the cave, and upon emerging, they saw Lissa barely clinging to life.

Even the dumbest could tell the opponent meant harm.

"You must be Brian."

"Then come with me."

His calm words carried a thread of pressure, brimming with an unyielding tone.

At the same time, he flicked his right hand, tossing the half-dead Lissa at Brian's feet.

Looking down at Lissa at his feet, Brian's face turned grim—he had never endured such provocation as the leader of the Six Demons.

"Attack!"

Before Brian could speak, two figures lunged forward!

They were Cobra Kobra and Hotei.

Both had been chosen by Brian to become one of the Six Demons Generals.

Naturally, neither was ordinary, especially Kobra, a powerful Dragon-Slaying Mage.

As Hotei unleashed earth magic to block the opponent's escape route, Kobra seized the moment, coordinating with his companion Qubelio beneath him, swiftly closing in on Lin Cheng.

The distance between them was less than five meters!

From receiving the telepathic message to appearing, no more than one or two minutes had passed.

To eliminate Lissa so swiftly and locate their position meant the opponent possessed formidable strength.

Thus, Kobra held nothing back—he unleashed a powerful Dragon-Slaying spell at once!

"Poison Dragon's Iron Fist!"

Kobra leapt forward, his fist wreathed in purple-black toxic mist, slamming toward Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng didn't dodge—he casually threw a punch at Kobra.

The punch was slow, even sluggish; every person present clearly saw the trajectory of Lin Cheng's strike.

Kobra, striking out, wore a smug smile.

Yet…

That simple punch grew larger in Kobra's vision, then completely swallowed him!

Boom—!

A powerful force surged through his abdomen.

Kobra's smug grin twisted instantly into agony, then his body shot backward like an arrow, crashing violently into the forest beside him.

Boom—rumble—!

After smashing through dozens of trees, Kobra struggled to his feet, blood slowly dripping from his lips.

Just that one blow had already broken several of his bones.

Damn it!

Didn't I hear the sound of his attack direction?

Why didn't I dodge?!

And what is this power—it's like a monster!

"Impossible! Kobra was hit?!"

"Did he forget to activate his Divine Ear?"

At the moment Kobra was struck, the other Six Demons Generals all showed expressions of shock.

Kobra, besides his Dragon-Slaying magic, possessed a sound-based magic.

His ears could hear everything—including any information he sought, anyone's thoughts and inner voices.

In battle, he could use sound to detect the opponent's attack movements.

Combined with his Dragon-Slaying magic, his sound magic made his combat nearly invincible!

But this time, Kobra didn't land a single hit—and he didn't even dodge the opponent's attack!

"Did Kobra forget to use his magic?"

"No, Kobra did dodge—the problem lies with that man."

Unlike the others, Brian, experienced and having witnessed most magics, had noticed something from the exchange.

Kobra hadn't failed to dodge—he'd sensed the attack, but at the critical moment, the man emitted a strange field.

That field was the true reason Kobra, despite awareness, couldn't evade.

'Could it be gravity magic?'

Brian murmured.

Gravity magic could freely manipulate gravity and alter its direction.

What the man had just used was, in a sense, very similar to gravity magic.

Altering gravity's direction, repelling everything.

"Poison Dragon's Claw!"

From within the forest, Kobra launched another attack.

But the result was the same—he never got close before the strange field flung him back again.

"Damn it, even if I hear your thoughts, I still can't avoid it?" Kebula's face darkened.

"Earth Merge!"

Hotei slammed his palms onto the ground and roared loudly.

Since a direct advance is impossible, attack from beneath the ground!

As magic flowed in, the terrain beneath Lin Cheng began to shift—the entire ground sank dozens of meters in an instant!

"Join!"

He clapped his hands together, and the split ground sealed once more!

Yet, just before it fully closed, Lin Cheng's figure shot upward into the sky.

Kona beside him had already prepared, swiftly drawing out the Keys of the Zodiac!

"Open! The Gate of Scorpio!"

"Weare!" The Scorpio Spirit appeared, its massive tail unleashing a terrifying sandstorm!

"Sand Magic!"

"Hmph!" Lin Cheng snorted, releasing an invisible ripple.

The incoming sandstorm vanished instantly!

"Poison Dragon's Roar!" Absorbing the poison gas exhaled by his pet Qubeirio, he felt his magic surge.

Kebula drew a deep breath, then opened his mouth—terrible toxic mist erupted forth with magical force!

"．「Hum—!"

Without the slightest surprise, not a wisp of the poison could approach Lin Cheng's person.

Worse still, the poison spread outward in all directions, forcing the Six Demon Generals to retreat swiftly.

As comrades, they knew all too well how terrifying Kebula's poison mist could be.
