Chapter 545 - Lifeline (1/2)

After Yang Ling used the Teleportation Gate to leave far away, he turned his head around to take a glance at the boundless sea before he heaved a sigh of relief.

”The Sea Demon King is really the king of Sea Demons. As expected of a powerful High-Level Deity.”

Yang Ling used the Ground Protection Spell, as well as the Battle Soul Blade, to exchange two moves with the Sea Demon King. He didn't just manage to destroy the Sea Demon King's armor; he still left a deep wound on his chest. But despite this, Yang Ling knew clearly that if they fought with their real power, he wouldn't be a match for the Sea Demon King for now.

It wasn't an issue for him to deal with a Low-Level Deity or a Mid-Level Deity, but if he ran into a High-Level Deity, he would be in danger.

”I wonder whether I will be able to control the Battle Soul Blade freely once I advance into the Soul Wizard's Mid-Stage?” Yang Ling stroked the Battle Soul Blade's hilt and furrowed his brows. The Battle Soul Blade possessed great power, and even the careless Sea Demon King sustained injuries in its face. But, it consumed a large amount of Wizard Power and Mental Energy.

Even a solemn Soul Wizard could at most use just three blade strikes!

Yang Ling shook his head and sped up toward Meccans Island. The Sea Demon King's God-Level Forbidden Spell was too terrifying, and its might was even greater in the sea. He had already left the Demon Island's sea area far away, but he must quickly leave the ocean as a precaution.

Swoosh!

Yang Ling consumed a Magical Beast's Blood Orb before he raised his flying speed. He streaked across the air and crossed innumerable unknown isles, as well as desolate sea areas. He traveled directly to Meccans Island. There was a Restriction Spell where he could temporarily take shelter there, and there was also a Teleportation Formation Spell leading to the other station. As long as he reached Meccans Island, he would be safe and sound.

Two or three thousand miles wasn't a great distance to a God-Level Expert, and Yang Ling shortly managed to reach Meccans Island. When he saw the peaceful sea and the intact Teleportation Formation Spell, he heaved a sigh of relief. He rested on a reef near the sea and started observing his chest's wound carefully.

The Hemostatic Powder made by Alice was quite effective, and the wound had already stopped bleeding and formed a scar. However, when Yang Ling stroked the scar that extended from his left shoulder to his belly's right side, he still felt his scalp turning numb. The power of the Sea Demon King's blade was too terrifying, and even the Ground Spell that was known for its great defensive power was destroyed by a single blade strike. The great harm the blade would have inflicted upon him if it hacked him directly was really unimaginable!

When Yang Ling just approached a reef and was about to sit on it, a strange sound suddenly transmitted from the vicinity, and the Wizard Pagoda's symbol between his brows started throbbing intensely. Soon after, a scarlet light beam rushed out of the sky and quickly pounced at Yang Ling. ”Hahaha, where you can still escape? Die!”

”The Sea Demon King?”

Yang Ling was shocked. He didn't expect that the enemy overtook him, and he had even set an ambush here long ago. When Yang Ling discerned that he couldn't dodge the attack, he pulled out his Battle Soul Blade hurriedly to block the enemy's strong Ghost Head Blade.

Ding!

As a crisp sound echoed out, Yang Ling that gnashed his teeth blocked the Sea Demon King's Ghost Head Blade, but the enemy's clone suddenly appeared behind him before he could take a breather and thousands upon thousands of Wind Blades flew at him.

”Hahaha, die, die!” The Sea Demon King laughed loudly and pounced at Yang Ling. After the Sea Demon King's understood Yang Ling's intentions, he set up an ambush in the vicinity with meticulous care, and he suddenly attacked when Yang Ling's guard was lax.

Sizzle!

The Wind Blades were quite swift, and they engulfed an area of several hundred feet. Yang Ling didn't have any room for escape, and the blades-like Wind Blades instantly hacked his body before he could wear the Ice-Sealing Armor or use the Ground Protection Spell. In an instant, Yang Ling felt intense pain, and many fine wounds appeared on his body. It was fortunate that his body was quite staunch thanks to the Body Honing Wizard Mantra's effects, and if an ordinary Low-Level Deity were in his place, he would have been torn into pieces.

Those Wind Blades possessed great power, and they were stronger than Elder Brent's Wind Blades Wave by an unknown amount of time.

”Mt. Hua Splitting Strike, die.”

At this critical juncture, Yang Ling used a fake attack before he applied the Ground Protection Spell on himself, and as a swooshing sound echoed out, he teleported behind the Sea Demon King's clone and thrust his blade at him. He wanted to kill this hateful clone, and he didn't mind to take the Sea Demon King's blade strike to do so.

Ah!

The Sea Demon King's clone was obviously not like the main body, and it wasn't adept at close-quarters combat. At this moment, it became fl.u.s.tered, and it raised its Magic Staff to block Yang Ling's Battle Soul Blade. At this critical juncture, it managed to move its head out of the way and dodged Yang Ling's deadly strike narrowly, but its left arm was still chopped off from the shoulder, and the clone let out a miserable shriek.

Meanwhile, Yang Ling's Ground Protection Spell crumbled upon taking the blade strike of the Sea Demon King's main body, and the blade hacked Yang Ling's back, so fiercely that blood flowed out of it.

Yang Ling didn't mind taking injuries, and he got the arm of the Sea Demon King's clone in exchange for the wound he suffered.

Swoosh!

After Yang Ling let out a soft groan, he rolled around to dodge the Sea Demon King's attack before he rushed toward Meccans Island. He had already used his blade two times in succession, and the Wizard Power, as well as the Mental Energy in his body, dropped to the lowest point. If he didn't retreat hurriedly, the consequences would be too horrible to imagine.

”Ah! Damned b*stard!”
