Chapter 612

Almost the instant the thought crossed his mind, behind him, over sixty-one million seven hundred thousand daggers materialized in the air, spinning wildly like a spinning top.

Almost every dagger condensed an extremely powerful gale behind it; the daggers used their rotation to drive the wind.

They formed a vortex, and this wind vortex in turn amplified the daggers' killing power and thrusting speed.

Even Li Yue, watching, had to admit that the kid across from him had a pretty solid grasp of physics.

Suddenly, a heavenly sound rang out from the angelic dharma idol's mouth.

"Face judgment, mortal!"

Almost the moment the words fell, the golden-light holy sword held high by the angelic dharma idol came crashing down.

This time, it was no longer the half-hearted skirmish from before.

With that single swing from the angelic dharma idol, even the air was split apart.

Every tree within dozens of li on either side of the sword-light was pulverized by the terrifying sword qi.

Seeing this utterly spectacular sight, Li Yue couldn't help but think: a single sword cleaving flowing water, splitting open the ocean — surely it could only look like this.

This absurdly exaggerated sense of power made Li Yue's heart settle all the more.

And the instant the angelic dharma idol's golden-light holy sword came cleaving down, the tens of thousands of daggers behind Bendeng Ximo charged toward the sword-light without a shred of hesitation.

Yet, whether it was one strike, or ten.

Whether a hundred or a thousand daggers slammed into the sword-light, it was like stones sinking into the sea — no sound, no ripple.

The sword-light's might dimmed not one bit, while the daggers behind Bendeng Ximo grew fewer and fewer.

At this moment, his heart was filled with terror.

The power of that sword-light was simply too overwhelming; no matter how powerful the skill he used, he still couldn't shake that sword-light in the slightest.

At this moment, an extremely strong conviction rose within his heart.

"Run! I have to run!"

And the very instant he moved to flee, another heavenly sound suddenly rang out.

"Forest Prison Cage!"

Almost in an instant, tens of thousands of vines appeared around Bendeng Ximo.

The moment the vines appeared, they bound him completely; no matter how he struggled, it had no effect at all.

At this moment, he was even more desperate.

He couldn't figure it out — the mission clearly stated there was only one early-Legendary creature, so how could this be!

It had only been three days; from the moment he accepted the mission until now, he had been rushing here nonstop.

He could say with certainty that he was the fastest one, and yet.

What greeted him was not precious treasure, but a mountain of blades and a sea of blood.

Now, he finally understood why the backer, despite being so powerful, still needed to enlist the strength of the Blood Blade Tavern to deal with the man standing atop what appeared to be a Legendary dark dragon.

He slowly closed his eyes and accepted the fate that belonged to him.

"Puh!"

The sword-light swept across Bendeng Ximo's body without the slightest pause.

Only when it struck the earth did the overwhelmingly powerful sword-light, like a bubble, dissipate between heaven and earth.

Li Yue hurried to the spot where Bendeng Ximo had been slain, and a prompt appeared before his eyes.

【Detected: a creature you summoned has slain a solo Legendary-extreme creature. Reward energy: 100,000,000】

"?"

"One hundred million!"

"Why wasn't there one before when I killed Legendaries?"

【A solo creature does not belong to any faction or territory, so a separate reward can be obtained!】

【When a Legendary within a faction is slain, the energy will be converted into other rewards, presented in the form of treasure chests.】

This prompt made everything suddenly clear to Li Yue.

Although the system prompt said this ambusher was a solo creature, there was definitely someone behind him pulling the strings, or some profit driving him on.

Otherwise, why would someone pop out of nowhere just to try to kill him?

Recalling that the man earlier, like himself, possessed basic human features and showed no traits of any other creature.

So the one who ambushed him was absolutely from some clan, or some empire!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a jolt of panic.

In this Saint Na Ze Er Forest, many great powers had powerful existences backing them.

For him to wipe out their eyes like this would surely draw their attention.

Just this once, they had already sent a Legendary-extreme creature.

Next time, who knew whether a Holy-domain creature would come in person.

Thinking of this, cold sweat couldn't help but pour down his forehead.

If that were the case, his plan to grow stronger had to pick up the pace.

Immediately, after checking that no other creatures were present in the surroundings, Li Yue mounted the dark dragon and flew at top speed toward Lord Chenxi's territory.

At the place where Bendeng Ximo had died, terrifying black mist spread out in all directions.

All plants withered in an instant, and this black mist stretched for a full fifty li.

As for this, Li Yue was already long past being surprised.

Anyone who reached Legendary-extreme had a chance to set foot on the path toward godhood.

For one of them to be slain and trigger some strange phenomena was naturally nothing unusual.

Only this time, the phenomenon triggered by slaying a Legendary was actually different from the ones that had appeared before.

In Li Yue's mind, another record of a legendary death's strange phenomenon was added.

Now, adding this hundred million energy, the energy he possessed had reached a terrifying fourteen hundred million plus.

Moreover, there was still the goblin legion sent to sweep the lord's domain—Li Yue had not yet received their energy.

If all the treasures obtained from the Demon City treasury were sold, his energy would break through the one-billion barrier.

Reaching the grand checkpoint of two billion, and by then, it would also be time for Li Yue to use the Intermediate Time Scroll for closed-door cultivation.

Returning to Lord Chenxi's domain, Li Yue walked to the camp area.

From the storage space, he slowly took out the Shadow Spirit Body Camp Construction Blueprint.

Earlier, he had also searched the trading channel and found that there really were no similar ones, so he simply gave up the idea of synthesizing.

After all, his came from a legendary treasure chest, and among all the lords now, the one who could open a legendary treasure chest was probably only him alone!
