Chapter 142: Scourge! (1/2)
As much as Zhao Li would have loved to reject Lucien's claims and try to prove him wrong, he knew Lucien wasn't lying! While he may be strong and have a higher cultivation level, he could not best Lucien in a short time because he was more of a support type mage than a combat type. With little means of killing the kid, he had let the battle last long enough for Lucien to gain the upper hand.
Should all eight magic towers focus their attacks on him, alongside the six beast assimilation phantom images and the nameless with Lucien aiding from a distance, he may not even survive one joint attack not to talk of three. A great man knows his strength and also knows his weaknesses. Once a man is aware of his weaknesses and is ready to admit defeat when necessary, he or she will definitely live a long and peaceful life.
”Stop attacking!” Zhao Li gritted his teeth as he gave the order and even though his subordinates were reluctant to obey, but they had no choice but to do as they are told. Their master is now at the mercy of the enemy so it would be considered foolish antagonizing the enemy!
”Just name your price, we will pay!” The gray-haired spirit realm elder said with a reddened face due to embarrassment as he bowed respectfully towards Lucien's fleeting figure.
Many considered Zhao Li's order an act of good faith and as someone from an important background in the Libet empire, a mere Baron like Lucien would be eager to negotiate with him and try to form relations from this event but contrary to their beliefs, that didn't happen. The sinister smile on Lucien's face didn't fade and his eyes were still pinned on Zhao Li as he asked a question.
”What are you doing?” Lucien asked with a confused look on his face.
His question left everyone presents confused as well since they noticed Lucien was genuinely confused.
”What do you mean?” Zhao Li asked as he felt cold sweat trickling down his back, making him feel uncomfortable.
”Why did you stop the fighting? Why did you stop your men from attacking? I remember you all shamelessly came here in masses to take my head but now you are at a disadvantage, you think you can just stop the fight? DON'T MESS WITH ME!” Lucien's calm tone slowly grew furious as his silver aura exploded and he shot forward!
Roar!
The Chinese blue serpent dragon over his head let out a loud scream as shot towards the enemy while the blue azure dragon spear appeared in Lucien's hands.
”RIP!” Lucien growled as the spear began rotating and a massive whirlpool of scorching blue flames filled the entire sky and surged down like the divine judgment of a deity!
After his new upgrade, his strength could easily rival that of Rakuzen when he took over his body, so Lucien was no inferior in any way, making his techniques more flashy and captivating!
”Has he gone mad?”
”He dares try to kill Zhao Li of the Zhao clan! They are the fourth most powerful clan in the Libet empire! Who could consciously try to kill an important figure from such an important family in one of the great three empires?”
”This youth is crazy!”
”Impulsive!”
Many cursed under their breath but a few were more amazed and appreciative of Lucien's actions. They believed those from prominent clans have become too cocky because they always have a way out of bad situations. If everyone is like Lucien, these reckless nobles will think first before they act!
”YOU DARE!” Zhao Li growled as he summoned a transparent force shield to block the surging flames but at that moment, he saw the grim reaper hovering over his head. His body jerked forward instinctively as he summoned another invisible shield at his back to tank the attack and just as he expected, it was a beam of mana energy that was shot at him by one of the magic towers.
Bang!
Whoosh!
He suddenly planned to move forward but he was stopped by a sudden change in the weather! Gusts of wind surrounded the entire battlefield and thanks to it, the constant surge of blue flames, and the continuous waves of beams Zhao Li was trapped, making it impossible to move.
”Domain spells?” Zhao Li muttered as he summoned ten invisible shields that formed a reinforced rectangular dome.
”HOW LONG DO YOU THINK YOU CAN HOLD OUT? DO YOU THINK YOU CAN KEEP HIDING WITHIN THIS PLACE? LAST TIME I CHECKED, EVEN SPIRIT REALM MASTERS NEED TO BREATHE, HOW DO YOU PLAN TO SURVIVE?” Lucien said as the blue flames stopped and from instead, a purple mist spread across the entire battlefield.
”Acid?” Zhao Li muttered in shock as he watched all forms of vegetation below reduce to nothing, making him wonder how many magic beasts Lucien has consumed to possess two domain spells!
Bang!
