Chapter 382: Combined Technique—Hell Heaven (Three-in-one chapter, please)

As one of the most important buildings of the Lin family, the Treasure Pavilion naturally has a powerful Restriction guarding it.

Of course, this so-called power is only relative to the Local Power.

Just as Rolling was about to crash into the Treasure Pavilion, suddenly, a layer of bright earthy-yellow radiance emerged, instantly enveloping the entire Treasure Pavilion.

Pop~

Rolling came with great momentum; when it hit the earthy-yellow Restriction, the Restriction began to show ripples, but there was not the slightest sign of it breaking.

The defensive strength of the earthy-yellow Restriction clearly exceeded the attack strength of Rolling.

Chirp~

In the sky, accompanied by a loud cry, the Flame Bird opened its sharp Bird Beak, and countless fire-red light spots gathered, spraying a scorching Dragon Breath that landed surgingly on the earthy-yellow Restriction.

Compared to Rolling, the Flame Bird's realm is clearly higher, and the power of the Dragon Breath naturally exceeds Rolling's Rolling.

It is just that this is, after all, a Restriction the Lin family painstakingly created, using quite a lot of precious materials; even if the Flame Bird tried its best, it was still difficult to shake this layer of earthy-yellow Restriction.

However, as long as one perseveres, breaking the Restriction is only a matter of time.

It was also at this time that a short, fat middle-aged man appeared inside the Treasure Pavilion gate; he was Lin Hedong, and at this moment, he was staring at Li Changsheng with an ugly expression.

As a prominent figure in Luo City, Lin Hedong naturally recognized Li Changsheng; at the thought of Li Changsheng's nearly exaggerated battle record at the Academy Exchange Tournament, Lin Hedong inexplicably felt uneasy.

Lin Hedong immediately suppressed the anxiety in his heart; relying on the Treasure Pavilion's Restriction, he had a certain amount of confidence to confront Li Changsheng, or at the very least, he could hold out for a period of time.

At this moment, Lin Hedong flipped his hand, and a gilded token appeared in his palm; this token could manipulate the Treasure Pavilion's Restriction at will.

In order to pin down Li Changsheng, Lin Hedong immediately released several Demon Pets, commanding them to unleash light-beam-type attacks.

The moment they launched their attacks, the token in Lin Hedong's hand emitted a burst of light, and the earthy-yellow Restriction immediately revealed several large holes, just enough for the several energy beams to pass through, flying toward the Flame Bird and Rolling.

The instant these light beams rushed out of the Restriction, the several large holes in the earthy-yellow Restriction disappeared immediately after.

In the sky, the Flame Bird moved laterally, first dodging one energy beam; seeing another energy beam about to hit it, it unhurriedly sprayed scorching flames from its mouth, instantly neutralizing it.

On the ground, Rolling's body surface was wrapped in a Wind Barrier; although the fire beam eventually broke through the Wind Barrier, it did not cause any heavy injuries to Rolling in the end.

But in this way, the Flame Bird and Rolling were successfully pinned down by Lin Hedong and could no longer continue to destroy the earthy-yellow Restriction.

"Come out!"

Without hesitation, Li Changsheng summoned Day and Night.

Night falls!

At the first moment, the pitch-black night curtain spread rapidly from Night, covering a hundred-meter radius in the blink of an eye; because it was already night, the night curtain's characteristics could exert a stronger effect, beginning to obscure the surrounding light.

At the same time, the Dark Vision Aura was activated; Li Changsheng's several Demon Pets stepped on the pitch-black aura, and even in such a dark environment, their vision was not affected much.

Unlike Li Changsheng, Lin Hedong's several Demon Pets were clearly affected, so Lin Hedong had to use his projected Mental Power to command the several Demon Pets to launch attacks from different directions.

"Day, Night, let him see your recent results!"

Under Li Changsheng's command, Day and Night relied on the special nature of the Light-Dark Twin Symbiote to simultaneously launch their strongest skills.

Shengsheng Tiantang!

Day's whole body shone brightly, and the blinding radiance gathered like the Sun Banner; countless light-element energies swarmed toward the sky above the Treasure Pavilion, forming a huge milky-white ring of light in the blink of an eye.

Death Wither!

Night emitted rich black energy, which also surged toward the sky above the Treasure Pavilion, eventually forming a huge pitch-black ring of light.

Under the control of Day and Night, the two rings of light of different colors began to fuse, emitting a sizzling sound from within; the two completely opposing energies fused and dissolved, eventually giving birth to a peculiar gray energy.

"Quick, hurry and attack the ring of light above!" Sensing this gray energy, Lin Hedong was clearly taken aback; he could vaguely feel a property that destroys everything from the gray energy.

This is a brand-new energy that Li Changsheng calls the Power of Annihilation; in terms of destructive power alone, it far exceeds the Fire Element and Thunder Attribute energies known for their destructive power.

However, no matter how Li Changsheng experimented, he could not get other Demon Pets to fuse a similar power, nor could he directly incorporate the Power of Annihilation for his own use.

Under Lin Hedong's command, his several Demon Pets launched various energy beams toward the gray ring of light about to form in the sky.

Meow~ Meow~

Day and Night let out loud cat cries, but they felt very bad; their limbs trembled violently, and every time they performed this move, it made them feel a huge burden.

Combined Technique—Hell Heaven!

In an instant, the gray ring of light fell while rotating.

It was also at this time that several energy beams landed on the ring of light one after another, but they were completely unable to destroy the gray ring of light, at most only slightly delaying the downward trend of the gray ring of light.

In almost the blink of an eye, the gray ring of light made contact with the earthy-yellow Restriction; the earthy-yellow Restriction twisted violently, and some weak points were even annihilated, invaded by the Power of Annihilation.

When the two made contact, as the Power of Annihilation was consumed, the gray ring of light also gradually shrank.

Crack~ Crack~

Before the gray ring of light disappeared, the earthy-yellow Restriction could no longer hold on, emitting a sound of being unable to bear the burden, and finally disappeared.

Boom~

Only a thin layer of the gray ring of light remained, which then collided with the roof of the Treasure Pavilion; accompanied by an explosion, the roof of the Treasure Pavilion shattered, and countless fragments quickly submerged the second floor.

"Damn it!" After the earthy-yellow Restriction disappeared, Lin Hedong's face turned livid, and he prepared to head to the core area of the Treasure Pavilion, wanting to rely on the Treasure Pavilion's core Restriction to resist Li Changsheng.

Roar~

Suddenly, Aixi, who had just been summoned, let out a loud roar; the sound was like thunder, and an intense Pressure permeated, quickly enveloping Lin Hedong and his several Demon Pets.

Under this Pressure, Lin Hedong himself was fine, but his several Demon Pets were clearly frightened, with looks of terror in their eyes; among them, a Terror Wolf trembled violently all over, collapsed limply to the ground, and directly fell into a Cowering state.

Lin Hedong subconsciously stopped in his tracks and loudly ordered the Terror Wolf to stand up quickly, but no matter how he commanded it, the Terror Wolf, dominated by fear, still had weak limbs and could not stand up even though it wanted to.

Not far away, Kailan seized this fleeting opportunity; more than a dozen thick vines drilled out arrogantly from the ground. Lin Hedong was startled, but before he could react, he was tied up tightly by the vines.

Lin Hedong's remaining several Demon Pets were shocked and wanted to help Lin Hedong break free from the vine restraints.

"Kill!"

Under Li Changsheng's command, Aixi's huge tiger body barely squeezed into the Treasure Pavilion and bit the neck of the Terror Wolf lying limply on the ground.

Crack~ Howl~

Accompanied by the sound of bone shattering, the Terror Wolf wailed, and a large amount of blood sprayed directly from the broken part, dyeing the ground bright red.

Aixi bit down on the Terror Wolf's neck, and after the Terror Wolf struggled powerlessly a few times, its head lolled to the side, and it lost its life instantly.

At the moment of the Terror Wolf's death, Lin Hedong, who was about to break free from the vine restraints, turned pale instantly, his Consciousness Sea shook violently, and he opened his mouth to spray out a mouthful of blood.

Leaf Blade Slash!

Just at this moment, Kailan also flew into the Treasure Pavilion, and countless green energy compressed and gathered, transforming into the shape of a leaf blade, slashing straight toward Lin Hedong.

Roar~

At the critical moment, a Thunder Roaring Tiger disregarded the danger, using its sturdy tiger body to block in front of Lin Hedong, preparing to take the Leaf Blade Slash head-on.

Clatter~

Even though the Thunder Roaring Tiger's hide was quite tough, the Leaf Blade Slash easily tore through the hide, carving out a wound deep enough to see bone and directly inflicting heavy damage on the opponent.

Among Lin Hedong's few Demon Pets, only the Thunder Roaring Tiger had reached the Elite grade, but it was only of Medium Grade quality, and there was a clear gap between it and Kailan.

At this time, with the help of a few Demon Pets, Lin Hedong finally broke free from the restraints of the vines.

Before he could continue to flee, Aixi slapped the Thunder Roaring Tiger's head heavily; the Thunder Roaring Tiger let out a mournful cry, its tiger head visibly caved in, blood flowed from its seven orifices, and it was beaten to death by Aixi on the spot.

Lin Hedong, witnessing this scene, felt his eyes split with rage, followed by an expression of extreme fear; unlike the Terror Wolf from just before, the Thunder Roaring Tiger was his Life-Bound Demon Pet, so the backlash it caused him was naturally far greater than that of the Terror Wolf.

"Ah!"

Lin Hedong's eyes were wide open, covered in a large amount of bloodshot veins; he let out a painful scream, clutched his head tightly with both hands, and collapsed onto the ground, as if countless steel needles had been driven into his brain, his entire Consciousness Sea surging violently, and a pain so intense it was hard to describe in words swept through his entire body.

Blood flowed from Lin Hedong's seven orifices, his expression was exceptionally ferocious, and he kept vomiting blood from his mouth, but his chest was still heaving; luckily he did not die immediately, but he had fallen into a coma.

Unfortunately, Lin Hedong did not escape with his life because of this; even if his remaining Demon Pets wanted to take him and flee the Treasure Pavilion, the exit had already been blocked by Aixi, and to leave, they had to defeat or knock Aixi aside.

As for the entrance to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, it was still wrapped in a layer of Restriction; at this time, Lin Hedong had already fallen into a complete coma, so it was naturally impossible for him to open the Restriction at the second-floor entrance.

In a desperate situation, one either falls into despair or fights back in the face of death, and due to Aixi's Intimidation, none of Lin Hedong's remaining Demon Pets had the courage to fight back in the face of death, which naturally sealed their fate.

In just a minute or two, the dust settled inside the Treasure Pavilion; Lin Hedong stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, no longer showing any signs of life.

"A Pure Grade White Tiger Bloodline, this can be considered an unexpected harvest!" While cleaning up the battlefield, Li Zhangsheng stored the corpse of the Thunder Roaring Tiger into his Space Ring.

After dealing with Lin Hedong, Li Zhangsheng obtained a Space Ring and a Restriction Token from his corpse, which meant that Li Zhangsheng could enter every corner of the Li Clan's Treasure Pavilion at will.

The first floor of the Treasure Pavilion stored a large number of items; Li Zhangsheng used his Mental Power to check them, but unfortunately, there were no treasures with strong energy fluctuations on the first floor.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

At the entrance to the second floor stood a bronze door wrapped in an energy Restriction.

Beside the bronze door was a groove, whose shape and size looked exactly the same as the Restriction Token.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng placed the Restriction Token into the groove.

The moment the Restriction Token was placed into the groove, the energy Restriction wrapping the bronze door flickered violently and slowly flowed into the dozens of fingernail-sized yellow gemstones embedded in the bronze door.

Click-clack~

The next moment, the heavy bronze door moved automatically, and when it stopped, it revealed the empty second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

Li Zhangsheng looked up; although the roof of the Treasure Pavilion had been broken open by Hell Heaven, there was still a layer of energy Restriction on the second floor, blocking a large amount of debris from the outside.

In terms of foundation, the Li Clan was deeper than the Li Clan; the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion was lined with over a hundred stone platforms about a meter high, each holding a box of different material and size.

These boxes had no locks and could be opened directly to view the items inside.

Li Zhangsheng came to the nearest stone platform, and after opening the box on it, a small, miniature red sword was revealed.

Above this stone platform, detailed information about the relevant item was also engraved.

This was an Intermediate Fire Element Treasure, forged entirely from Fire-Radiance Stone; at the hilt of the miniature sword, a Fire Element gemstone was embedded, which could increase the power of a Demon Pet's Fire Element skills.

Li Zhangsheng put down the miniature sword, and his Mental Power completely covered the entire second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

The next moment, a page similar to a radar appeared in Li Zhangsheng's mind, with over a hundred light spots of varying brightness appearing on it.

Unfortunately, not a single energy light spot met Li Zhangsheng's requirements.

"Huh, this stone platform is somewhat unusual!" Just as Li Zhangsheng was feeling a bit disappointed, he suddenly discovered that one of the stone platforms was faintly emitting an energy fluctuation; although this energy was subtle, it was quite persistent.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power was very sensitive to energy, he might have really missed it.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng found this stone platform, and regardless of what was inside the box on top, he casually tucked it into his pocket.

"Kailan!"

At Li Zhangsheng's command, Kailan immediately condensed a Leaf Blade Slash; this time, she cut very carefully, fearing that she might damage the treasure inside the stone platform.

Soon, the stone platform turned into fragments of varying sizes, revealing a square Prohibition Hub.

This was the Prohibition Hub of the Treasure Pavilion, and also its energy center, made from a large amount of precious materials.

Li Zhangsheng tried to open the Prohibition Hub with the Restriction Token; after inputting his Mental Power, a white light shot out from the Restriction Token and hit the Prohibition Hub.

For the sake of safety, Li Zhangsheng subconsciously retreated a certain distance and activated his Starlight Body Protection.

Crack!

The previously seamless Prohibition Hub made a strange noise, then opened from all sides, revealing the interior of the Prohibition Hub.

The moment the Prohibition Hub opened, based on the feedback from his Mental Power, Li Zhangsheng could immediately feel an earthy-yellow energy light spot with exceptionally strong energy fluctuations appear within the range, giving one a feeling of heaviness and creation.

Inside the Prohibition Hub, there were quite a few patterns made of Secret Silver; Secret Silver was a fairly precious material, its luster would not fade with time, its ductility was like Bronze, and it was harder than refined steel yet very lightweight, allowing it to be forged into armor and weapons that were stronger than steel yet as light as a goose feather.

At the same time, Secret Silver was also one of the top materials for energy compatibility among all metals.

However, as for these Secret Silver patterns, even if they were all melted down, I fear they would be no larger than a fingernail.

Besides the Secret Silver patterns, in the center of the Prohibition Hub, a treasure pearl the size of an infant's fist was suspended, faintly emitting an earthy-yellow luster.

This earthy-yellow treasure pearl gave Li Zhangsheng a feeling similar to the Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl he had obtained from Yuanling Academy.

"Could this be the Cangxuan Earth-Fixing Pearl?" Li Zhangsheng muttered to himself; judging from the feedback of his Mental Power, the energy fluctuations it emitted were almost identical to those of the Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl.

However, Li Zhangsheng also had a way to verify it, so he took out his own Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl.

The next moment, the Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl emitted a hazy water-blue radiance, and at the same time, the earthy-yellow treasure pearl on the Prohibition Hub likewise emitted an earthy-yellow radiance.

A resonance phenomenon appeared between the two; if it weren't for the lack of a Fire-Calming Pearl and a Wind-Calming Pearl, they might have merged directly.

After confirming that this was the Cangxuan Earth-Fixing Pearl, Li Zhangsheng carefully removed it from the Prohibition Hub, and together with the Prohibition Hub and the Restriction Token, he stored it all in his Space Ring.

The Prohibition Hub is still functional; as long as the Cangxuan Earth-Fixing Pearl is reinstalled and activated, the restriction on it can be triggered using a restriction token, and it can be installed within a building to form a complete defensive mechanism.

The Cangxuan Earth-Fixing Pearl can autonomously absorb Earth Element energy within a certain range, which is perhaps why the Lin Family uses it as a Prohibition Hub; otherwise, if they were to use Demon Cores, who knows how many would be consumed every year.

Furthermore, since the Cangxuan Earth-Fixing Pearl can be used, then the Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl must surely also be able to serve as an Energy Core for a Prohibition Hub, though its defensive strength would be inferior to the Earth Element.

When Li Zhangsheng broke into the Treasure Pavilion, the Lin Family members, having experienced the initial chaos, finally achieved a certain level of order; they gathered around the family's high-ranking members to fight back together.

The Li Family was no longer as relaxed as before; even though those who came were Li Family elites, there were still significant casualties.

In the core area of the Lin Family, Li Wenbo's Earth Giant stretched out both hands, grabbed the body of a Lin Family member, and pulled with a sudden force.

"Ah!"

That person let out a miserable shriek and was then torn into two halves by the Earth Giant, fresh blood splashing out like a gushing spring; the Earth Giant casually threw away the corpse torn in two.

In an instant, the surrounding Lin Family members' eyes shrank, boundless terror surging in their hearts, and the previously orderly formation fell into some chaos.

"What are you still standing there for? Kill!"

Standing in the rear, Lin Hetu's expression was very ugly; while commanding his Demon Pet to block Li Wenbo, he couldn't help but stare at the corpses of the Lin Family members, especially the blood scattered all over the ground, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.

As long as he collected the blood of a few more Low-tier Monster Tamers to water the Blood Luo Fruit Tree, those three Blood Luo Fruits would fully ripen, and he would have the chance to use them to break through to the Fifth Rank; even if the breakthrough failed in the end, he would still become more powerful.

This was the only chance for a comeback that Lin Hetu could think of; even if he couldn't turn the tide, it would increase his chances of escaping.

"Sacrifice the few for the many; I am doing this to save more people!"

Lin Hetu's gaze flickered, but he made up his mind in his heart; he deliberately let an injured Demon Pet retreat, wanting to use Li Wenbo's blade to kill his own people.

Boom—

Consequently, an opening appeared for Li Wenbo's Emperor Rank Griffin; it immediately dove down, its massive body lunging as it extended its claws, instantly grabbing a Lin Family member and flying up again as its wings flapped.

The Griffin's claws were sharp and keen; no matter how the Lin Family member struggled, they were powerless to break free from the restraint.

In the blink of an eye, the Griffin flew to a height of several dozen meters; it released its claws directly, and the Lin Family member it had carried into the air screamed and plummeted straight down.

Boom—

Accompanied by a muffled thud, the Lin Family member's head smashed heavily onto the hard ground, red and white fluids splattering everywhere, dead beyond any doubt.

With Lin Hetu intentionally letting his guard down, the Griffin soon used its sharp Bird Beak to pierce directly through the neck of another Lin Family member.

Before long, there were several more mangled corpses of Lin Family members on the ground.

While the Griffin was acting as if it were in an empty land, Lin Hetu was also using his Mental Power to secretly collect blood.

"Almost there!"

At this moment, Lin Hetu felt a surge of joy in his heart and hurriedly said to the two Clan Elders gathered beside him: "Two Clan Elders, help me hold them off for a moment; I shall return shortly!"

"Understood!" The two Clan Elders felt somewhat strange, but they had no time to get to the bottom of it at this moment; they could only brace themselves and put up a resistance.

While Lin Hetu headed to the backyard to water the Blood Luo Fruit Tree, Li Wenbo's combat power was liberated; even though the two Clan Elders led the Lin Family members to resist with all their might, they still showed signs of collapse.

In less than half a minute, Lin Hetu returned from the backyard; he had already watered the Blood Luo Fruit Tree with blood, but the tree required a certain amount of digestion time; according to Lin Hetu's experience, it would take about ten more minutes for the Blood Luo Fruits to ripen.

In other words, he had to hold on for another ten minutes.

While Lin Hetu was confronting Li Wenbo, Li Zhangsheng left the Treasure Pavilion; he did not take anything else because there was absolutely no time for that, and besides, as long as the Li Family conquered the Lin Family, the things in the Treasure Pavilion would belong to the Li Family.

Those things were useless to him, but they could quickly strengthen the family's power.

Just as Li Zhangsheng was preparing to head to the central area of the Lin Clan Manor, Li Tianyu suddenly hurried over to stop him.

"Changsheng, please go quickly to the Lin Shi Yushouyuan; Clan Elder Li You is almost unable to hold on!"

Clan Elder Li You was the head of Li Tianyu's branch and also Li Tianyu's uncle; seeing that Clan Elder Li You was in crisis, he immediately came to find reinforcements.

There was no better candidate than Li Zhangsheng, because although Ning Bizhen had never made a move, she had been keeping her attention on Li Zhangsheng all along.

Today's goal: Three, Pig, Proof!
