Chapter 585: Challenge a Psychic Master (III)
Long Haochen could also boost himself to the ninth step for a short period of time, but wasn’t in possession of a spiritual pellet. That was the gap separating him from the real ninth step. At the time he managed to kill the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell, a certain amount of luck was really involved. Crocell had no domain, and demon gods only had their magical crystal but no spiritual pellet. Furthermore, Crocell’s fighting strength was far from being as great as his ability of Clear Vision. Another demon god specialized in fighting could be a far tougher opponent for Long Haochen alone.
That Chen Hongyu was using his spiritual pellet from the beginning showed visibly that he didn’t look down on Long Haochen in the slightest, using his full strength from the beginning.
A soft white glint rimmed Chen Hongyu’s body as if producing a gate of light. As Lin Xin’s Bursting Fireball was already close to Chen Hongyu’s front, Chen Hongyu lifted his right hand, and a white radiance immediately drifted from it. In the midst of the six spiritual pellet images surrounding his body, a strange looking rabbit-like magical beast appeared, swallowing the Bursting Fireball whole.
What a strange sight! The high temperature and far larger fireball didn’t detonate upon striking that rabbit, but instead disappeared at a frightening speed. That rabbit-type magical beast’s belly suddenly enlarged, and when it reached the ground, a mouthful of flames was spurted toward Long Haochen’s group.
What kind of magical beast was that? Let alone Long Haochen who couldn’t recognize its type, even Chen Ying’er was dazed. She didn’t know about this kind of rabbit either!
At the start of the battle, the two sides already made a full power clash. Chen Hongyu’s incantatory chant started immediately then, but mysteriously, the six spiritual pellets surrounding his body seemed to resonate mystically to his chant. It seemed that seven identically pitched chants were produced.
Long Haochen parried the Heart of Fire shot back by the rabbit using the Divine Snail Shield in his left hand. In his right hand, the Aria of the Goddess of Light stagnated, tracing an upward trajectory from the ground. Immediately, a reddish golden blade projection was launched at the distant Chen Hongyu, filled with extremely sharp sword intent.
In fact, they were currently separated by about one hundred meters. A mere Bright Edge technique couldn’t possibly reach Chen Hongyu’s body.
However, Chen Hongyu sensed it differently. At the time Long Haochen launched this blade projection, he felt completely locked. Although it came from very far, the sharpness of that overwhelming sword intent acted directly on his chant, greatly affecting his incantation speed.
What a powerful sword intent! Chen Hongyu’s eyes contracted. He couldn’t believe that these youngsters would really give him such pleasant surprises.
At the same time Long Haochen’s attack was launched, he led the rest of the team to charge toward Chen Hongyu. No matter in which circumstances, the most effective for a close-quarter fighter against a mage is to decrease the gap between the two sides.
But not everyone charged at Chen Hongyu. Han Yu, Lin Xin, and Chen Ying’er were left behind.
Chen Ying’er already started sitting cross-legged, clasping her Crystal Ball in both her hands, with a focused and dedicated expression.
Lin Xin was also chanting, with a different stance from Chen Ying’er. During the chant, Lin Xin’s feet always remained on the move. Every one of his steps on the ground left a footprint carrying blue flames. These traces of flame started to fluctuate intensely with spiritual energy, amplifying his output of spiritual energy.
Han Yu was defending by their side, the Scarlet Blood sword inclined toward the ground, as his shield was held horizontally. One light spell after another was dispersed from his body.
As a Guardian Knight, Han Yu was always overshadowed behind Long Haochen, but this didn’t mean he was lacking in strength. Quite the opposite, if he was put in another team, his current strength would absolutely qualify him as a king grade Demon Hunt Squad’s captain.
His releases of halos followed at an extremely fast speed, not releasing them in a certain area but on set spots. Each halo was only aimed at one person, and provided at least a twice-higher amplification than area-targeted ones. Furthermore, these boosts wouldn’t decrease with the increase of distance from the target.
Long Haochen’s charging speed was extremely fast. At the very start, he launched Lightspeed Flash and spread out the four wings on his back, covering a hundred meters in a flash and confronting Chen Hongyu already. He unexpectedly followed right behind his projected Light Thorn. Once again, the Aria of the Goddess of Light chopped against his blade projectile, pouring its power back inside the divine sword, before slowly slashing at Chen Hongyu.
Chen Hongyu’s incantation didn’t stop from beginning to end. Right as Long Haochen arrived in front of them, the six spiritual pellet images surrounding his body enlarged and blasted at the same time, leaving six rings of light on his body.
