After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 775 - 532, Xilin Defense Break

Lin Da flew through the air, gazing up at the Sheep-Horned Demon like a towering mountain and nodded faintly.

"Among the Sacred Rank individuals I know, only Bailuo can condense a Law Giant named ’Sword-Toothed Snow Leopard.’"

Who would have thought my little sister’s insight could be this profound.

In a game setting, she would probably be a Limit Five Stars.

"However, if you plan on using this move to defeat me, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed."

Lin Da smirked, biting his finger and letting his blood scatter into the air.

A violet ancient magic circle rapidly took shape.

All the Demons atop the mountain froze in place.

In the pitch-black eye sockets of Delgon, faint lights flickered.

"Dragonman Soldier, arise!"

It was the Ancient Soul distilled from Lin Da’s ultimate skill, the Dragon King Sword! fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

With a single command, the deep roar of a dragon shook the heavens and echoed endlessly.

ROAR!!!

The air seemed filled with countless invisible blades; many Demons had their eardrums ruptured by the roar and fainted on the spot!

On the opposite peak, even the Sheep-Horned Demon warrior’s pupils revealed traces of fear.

According to legend, Sheep-Horned Demons were born of a ship at sea, where famished demons attacked goats, resulting in the hybrid monstrosity that is the Sheep-Horned Demon.

How could such mongrels ever compare to one of the most powerful mythical races on the continent?

Even if Lin Da had summoned only a single Dragonman Soldier, it was no match for a sheep!

BOOM!

A single hand of the Dragonman Soldier landed on the edge of the mountaintop, instantly causing rocks to tumble and dust to fill the skies.

The Demons staggered and collapsed, sitting on the ground in disarray.

Meanwhile, the Dragonman Soldier’s other hand gripped a Sawtooth Greatsword, its gleaming edge menacing, reflecting sunlight like a silver staircase reaching to the heavens.

It was clad in corroded bronze armor, its decayed head burning with blue soul fire, though its body had perished thousands of years ago, its Dragon’s Might remained undiminished.

The four Heaven Rank demons visibly changed their expressions.

They were Heaven Rank, yet none of them could employ such a power as a Law Giant.

Theoretically, only Law Tier could master it.

A rare few geniuses could wield such power even at Heaven Rank or Sacred Rank.

Throughout history, every Legend has demonstrated their ability to use a Law Giant during their Sacred Rank days.

This could perhaps serve as a benchmark for determining if someone has the potential to ascend to Legend...

If Lin Da were let go, it might not be long before he became another formidable enemy to the Demons.

Delgon stared at Lin Da, the corners of his mouth curving into a cold smile beneath the Magical Dragon mask.

Xilin bit her silver teeth, thrusting the Magic Spear forward: "Go, kill that lizard!"

"Dragonman Soldier, finish off that sheep in front of you!"

HOWL——

BAAH——

The two Law Giants let out their deep, prolonged roars!

The Dragonman Soldier lifted its Sawtooth Greatsword.

The Sheep-Horned Demon thrust forth the Trident Demon Spear.

"Dodge quickly!"

Anna, in her giant bat form, realized the danger and scooped up Lia, leaping off the mountain peak.

The other Demons scattered like startled beasts and birds, eager to avoid the fallout.

Only the four Heaven Rank demons and their leader Delgon soared a thousand meters into the sky to observe the battle.

The Bull-Horned Demon’s palm was sweaty as he prayed silently, His Majesty the Demon King, please grant Xilin victory!

BOOM!

In the next moment, the two Law Giants clashed head-on.

The Sawtooth Greatsword crashed against the tip of the Trident Demon Spear, unleashing shockwaves across the land, causing the mountain peak to collapse, with boulders falling endlessly toward the earth.

Dust clouds swirled like a storm, scattering the sky’s clouds.

The might of the impact was so vast, it could be heard from a thousand miles away.

Meanwhile, a blue streak of light near the southern end of the sky paused.

A young woman gazed at Dragon Fall Mountain Peak with a grave expression, muttering to herself:

"The process of consuming the Heavenly Spirit Secret Medicine is taking longer than I expected.

Lin Da, Anna, please hold on."

She took a deep breath as streams of water surged from her palms, like silk wrapped around her body.

With a light flap of her Light Wings, she shot forward a hundred meters in an instant.

The young woman’s mastery of the Rapid Flow Law allowed her to mimic the movement of fish in the sea, reducing air resistance and greatly enhancing her flight speed.

...

...

"Captain!"

Anna, still in her giant bat form, cradled Lia, dodged the rain of rubble, and plunged into the dust-filled "mountain top."

To be precise, they were positioned at the midway point of the mountain.

The collision of the Law Giants was like a sharp blade that sheared off the mountain’s peak.

Dragon Fall Mountain Peak’s height had been reduced by a third!

The current mountaintop was rugged and uneven, covered in scattered rubble with no vegetation, dominated by uniformly pitch-black soil.

The Demons unfurled their Light Wings and flew upward.

A black-haired young man, impeccably dressed, stepped slowly forward across the rubble in his brown boots, each step deliberate.

Ahead of him knelt a disheveled young woman.

Her hands gripped the soil, her shoulders trembling.

"You lost."

The Wind Shadow Sword hovered at the neck of the pink-haired girl’s pale skin as Lin Da spoke emotionlessly: "It’s time for you to honor your promise. Return with me and face the punishment you deserve."

Xilin remained silent, feeling as though she was trapped in a dream, where nothing felt real.

With the power granted to her by the Demon King, how could she lose to Lin Da?

Not only did she lose, but her very life was spared by Lin Da.

The Sheep-Horned Demon could not withstand the Dragonman Soldier’s assault; the Sawtooth Greatsword shattered it and then aimed for Xilin.

Lin Da darted swiftly, grabbing her and throwing her to the ground.

If not for Lin Da, she would have already been bisected by the Dragonman Soldier’s strike.

She had no face to lift her head before the man standing in front of her, nor had the shame to return to the Demon King’s Castle.

"Xilin, remember this.

His Majesty the Demon King does not favor failures.

Fail even once, and don’t bother returning.

Do you understand?"

One of the Four Heavenly Kings, Lady [Angel], her kind smile seemed so close.

[Angel] was the Demon King’s agent, all orders were conveyed through her.

Xilin was well aware that to receive the gift of immortality, she must win continuously.

Fail once, and she would be discarded.

"No... I cannot lose. Your Majesty, please grant me another chance!"

Xilin clutched her head in agony.

The mountaintop was eerily quiet.

Seeing Xilin kneeling on the ground, sunk into despair, all the Demons were dumbfounded.

Although Xilin was the last rank among the Twelve Belongings, her potential was immense, once praised by Lady [Angel] as having the hope of ascending to Legend.

How could she possibly lose to someone as unremarkable as Lin Da?

If it were one of the top ten adventurers on the Sacred Rankings, losing to them could still be understood.

[Eye of True Knowledge] Lin Da’s ranking on the Sacred Rankings was only seventeenth.

A far cry from the top ten!

"No, Lady Xilin, no...!"

The Bull-Horned Demon let out a wailing cry, his body going limp, his world spinning, his mind buzzing.

Ordinary Demons could lose, but for the Twelve Belongings, failure was forbidden!

Xilin could either die on the battlefield or return to the Demon King’s Castle.

And be executed by the Four Heavenly Kings.

"Such a pity, such a pity.

Lin Da, if only you had surrendered to the Demons, none of this would have needed to happen.

But now, I must erase you."

Delgon shook his head regretfully.

He signaled with his eyes to a brown-haired Demon.

The Demon understood instantly and raised his hand: "All troops, heed my command. Execute these three adventurers and... Witch Xilin."
