Chapter 118

Just as their group was all questioning their lives, another five bolts of thunder were summoned forth.

They slew the remaining five Flame Demons in quick succession.

And the members of the Giant Eagle squad finally confirmed it—this thunder was clearly summoned by that tall, burly Holy Knight!!

"A level 16 Holy Knight can actually be this strong?!"

"Quick, tell me—am I dreaming right now?"

"This lightning damage is just absurd!"

"And have you noticed? This Holy Knight carries a special kind of sacred aura!"

Because Zhou Yi's level 5.0 was too low, no one had paid him much attention earlier.

Now, focusing their attention, they immediately noticed what was special about Zhou Yi.

It was a sacred and majestic aura, different from that of an ordinary person!!

"One bolt of lightning instantly one-shots a Flame Demon—so this one is the real big shot!!"

"This explains it now too. Those demons really were so terrified because of the Holy Light Blessing that Holy Knight cast!"

"......"

The members of the Giant Eagle squad finally understood at this moment.

So that group of five really was so powerful only because of that Holy Knight's amplification!

"Have we fallen behind the times? A level 16 Holy Knight can deal this kind of damage?"

Under the fierce and devastating damage of Zhou Yi's spell skills.

Even the usually steady captain Sun Hao felt his whole worldview had been overturned.

But as captain, he quickly came back to his senses.

He took a deep breath and said encouragingly:

"Everyone, get ready. Follow me, and let's start breaking out with this Holy Knight!"

"Yes!"

The remaining members of the Giant Eagle squad hurriedly replied, their voices filled with excitement.

Zhou Yi's strength finally gave them hope of breaking out and surviving!

PS: Begging for flowers and votes~

On the other side, Zhou Yi, who had just dealt with six Flame Demons, flipped down from his Swift Wind Wolf mount.

He saw Jiang Churan striding over with her long, slender legs.

Then he felt a gust of fragrance as a soft, delicate body threw itself into his arms.

"Zhou Yi, thank goodness."

Jiang Churan hugged Zhou Yi tightly, her breathtakingly beautiful face carrying the joy of having survived a disaster.

"It's okay, it's okay now."

Held by Jiang Churan, Zhou Yi could only feel a curvaceous, delicate body pressed against him.

Moreover, Jiang Churan's leather armor had long been somewhat damaged.

So, he only had to lower his head slightly.

And he could see that glimpse of snowy white scenery.

Facing this scene, Zhou Yi didn't know whether to hold her or not.

He could only gently stroke Jiang Churan's hair as a form of comfort.

Zhou Yi was at a loss, and for Jiang Churan as well.

This was also her first time being so close to a guy.

But smelling that faint masculine scent, feeling Zhou Yi's warm gentle stroke on her head.

She couldn't help but immerse herself in it, unwilling to let go.

But she also knew the current situation was very dangerous, so she quickly let go.

"How is it, feeling better now?" Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"Mm." Jiang Churan let out a soft hum, her delicate, lovely little face tinged with an enticing blush.

That hug just now was driven by emotion; now, coming back to her senses.

She only then realized her actions seemed a bit bold.

However.

It did feel pretty good, that's all.

Since things had already happened, Jiang Churan wasn't the type of girl to be coy about it.

She quickly calmed her heart, her beautiful eyes looking at Zhou Yi, and asked curiously:

"What magic scroll did you just use? You could actually summon such powerful light-attribute lightning and instantly kill all those demons."

Before Zhou Yi could answer, she went on talking to herself:

28

"That magic scroll must be very expensive. Once we're back at school, I'll treat you to a meal, and by the way, I'll compensate you for the scroll."

Jiang Churan was a very cheerful and lively girl.

Although life and death were uncertain from here on, her face still beamed with a smile.

Infected by her emotions, Zhou Yi also smiled and teased:

"Treating me to a meal is fine, but compensating for the scroll isn't necessary. If you want to compensate, just compensate me with a bottle of mana recovery potion."

"Mana recovery potion? Why would I compensate you with that?"

"You used a scroll, not a skill that consumed your own mana to cast......"

At this point, Jiang Churan suddenly realized what was going on, her eyes widening as she said in disbelief:

"You're not going to tell me those lightning bolts from just now were skills you summoned, are you?"

Zhou Yi smiled faintly and said nothing.

"???"

Taking his silence as confirmation, Jiang Churan froze on the spot.

A month ago, although she had been defeated by Zhou Yi, she still had her own hidden trump card—the power of the succubus.

Because of that, she didn't feel much of a sense of defeat from losing.

Now, she had activated the succubus power within her body.

Yet the Flame Demon she still couldn't handle had been instantly killed by Zhou Yi with ease!

This enormous gap left her, the proud top scholar of Sichuan Province, momentarily unable to accept it.

After a long while, she finally came back to her senses and said with a bitter smile:

"Zhou Yi, you're way too monstrous."

"But this is good too—with you here, we can try to break out."

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Churan quickly accepted reality.

As an opponent, Zhou Yi was undoubtedly a terrifying enemy like a nightmare.

But as a friend fighting side by side, Zhou Yi was undoubtedly the most reliable companion!

Especially now, in such a dangerous situation.

The mighty Zhou Yi could give people the greatest sense of security.

"How's the dark-attribute power in your body? How much longer can you maintain it?"

Zhou Yi didn't respond immediately, and instead asked.

"If I don't use it at full strength, I can probably maintain it for about twenty minutes."

"Twenty minutes from now, when the power fades, I'll enter a Weakness phase lasting three whole days, and my strength will decline greatly."

Jiang Churan said helplessly.

This was also one of the reasons she didn't want to use the succubus power.

Because her level was too low, her body hadn't reached the point where she could freely use the succubus power.

Every time she finished using the succubus power, she would briefly enter a weakened state.

"Twenty minutes is enough." Zhou Yi's gaze sharpened.
