Chapter 740: The Lion Shook Its Head

At this critical juncture, Grand Wizard Houtu locked onto the Soul Ripples of the Lich King and launched a deadly attack suddenly.

The Lich King’s Heavenly Curtain of Darkness had a large scope, and one wouldn’t even be able to see their fingers within its scope. It was also able to greatly weaken the Divine Knowledge’s detection scope. But it was a pity that it was only effective against ordinary Dimensional Wanderers, and it couldn’t obstruct the powerful Grand Wizard Houtu.

As long as Grand Wizard Houtu locked onto a wisp of the Lich King’s Soul Ripples, he would be able to easily detect his location.

“Ah… save…”

The Lich King was in great pain, and he loudly cried for help. He waited expectantly for the rescue of the long-browed ancestor and Adjudicator Chris in the vicinity. However, he suffered the deadly strike of Grand Wizard Houtu before the arrival of reinforcement. Houtu pulled back his bloody hand and grabbed the Godhead swiftly and strongly. But he didn’t shatter it; he just inflicted great pain on the Lich King, who was in so much pain that he almost lost consciousness. Soon after, a crisp noise echoed, and the Lich King’s larynx was shattered. The Lich King also felt intense pain from his crotch because Houtu grabbed the former’s legs and tore them into shreds.

Ah!

After the Lich King let out a miserable cry, his body fell heavily on the ground with a rumble. His limbs were spasming, and his scarlet blood was sprinkled on the ground. Even his internal organs and intestines were spilling out.

“A Great Lich King was killed with bare hands like so?” Upon seeing the Lich King torn into shreds, the wanderers watching this from the distance turned pale with fright, and their scalps got numb.

After they got news about this, they rushed over from various lands to observe the battle. News quickly passed from mouth to mouth, and more people rushed over here. At first, when they witnessed the powerful army of three Great Divine Branches, the Algernon Divine Branch, Lich King Faction and another faction, as well as an Adjudicator holding the lines, every wanderer watching the battle assumed that the Magical Beast Divine Branch was doomed. They assumed that its army would be quickly wiped out.

They didn’t expect the situation’s development to be the complete opposite.

The three Great Divine Branches’ allied armies underestimated the enemy and ventured deeply. They got caught in the Great Wizard World and layers of Restriction Spells. They couldn’t free themselves, and they sustained quickly disastrous casualties. As for the Lich King, long-browed ancestor and Adjudicator Chris, they were all being bothered. This was especially the case for the ominous Lich King, who was unexpectedly torn to shreds by Yang Ling’s guard that had a snake tail.

The wanderers observed the ground soaked with fresh blood and looked at the spasming limbs of the Lich King, as well as his intestines, which were still wiggling. They all couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. Upon witnessing this terrifying sight, they finally personally experienced what real brutality and madness were. At this moment, they experienced the terror of the Magical Beast Divine Branch’s power.

“Sir, sir…”

“Retreat, retreat quickly!”

…

The lofty Lich King, who had unfathomable power, was torn to shreds. Upon witnessing this, the three Great Divine Branches’ troops turned pale with fright, and they lost their fighting spirit as well as their valor. They dispersed in confusion and retreated in a fluster. But it was a pity that they were constricted by Yang Ling’s Great Wizard World and the layers of Restriction Spells. Their speed and power were greatly weakened, and they were torn to pieces by the Magical Beasts that chased them relentlessly.

At this moment, they weren’t just unable to retreat.

“Humph, anyone who resists the punishment of the Creator’s envoys must die.”

Adjudicator Chris looked at the Lich King, who suffered a miserable death, before he looked at Yang Ling. He was both startled and angered by this. He just hesitated for a moment and didn’t expect that he would fail to rescue the Lich King in time due to this. He could only look on helplessly as the Lich King was torn to pieces. He was stunned by the great power of Grand Wizard Houtu, and he was also greatly angered by this.

Since he followed the supreme Creator and became a lofty Adjudicator, no one dared to act so impudently in front of him, and this was always the case for innumerable years. Even the Wanderer Alliance’s hidden peerless powerhouses didn’t dare to act so brazenly in his face.

“Ice-sealing Slash!”

The angry Adjudicator Chris let out a shout and consumed a large amount of Divine Power to launch an all-out attack. He cast his unstoppable supreme skill, Ice-sealing Slash. The Ice-sealing Finger was the move he used to make a name for himself, but the Ice-sealing Slash was his true killing move. In the past, he comprehended the Ice-sealing Law’s ultimate mystery in God Prison, and he managed to grasp this technique. He had used this technique only three times for the past years. The first time, he killed a Deacon Elder of the Wanderer Alliance; another time, he killed the famous Ebberon Core Deity, who didn’t accept the Adjudicator’s punishment. The last time he used it was 510,000 years ago, and he killed the Purple Crystal Dragon known as an invincible beast.

Sizzle!

The sharp Sword Energy let out a sizzling noise and created many ghastly spatial fissures. It also flew toward Yang Ling from all directions. But the deadliest thing about this attack wasn’t the dense Sword Energy, but the sword flying toward Yang Ling’s forehead that had turned into a cold light beam.

There weren’t any ear-piercing flying noises or suffocating pressure waves. It seemed like Adjudicator Chris’s large Divine Power was instantly concentrated on the small end of the sword.

“Oh no!”

When Yang Ling saw this shocking sword that was flying toward him, his pupils contracted, and he weaved Wizard Seals subconsciously. He wanted to teleport far away, but he couldn’t teleport for now. This might have been because of the innumerable spatial fissures that were disrupting the Spatial Law, but it might have also been because Adjudicator Chris’s sword strike contained a special, mysterious power. It was difficult for Yang Ling to even move, and he was also unable to enter the Wizard Pagoda’s Space and take refuge in it. He felt like he was instantly trapped in a formless prison.

“Soul Explosion!”

After Yang Ling, who discerned that he couldn’t dodge the attack, got over his shock, he gnashed his teeth and thrust the sharp Battle Soul Blade forward. Meanwhile, he also cast the Soul Explosion Wizard Spell with his whole power. He attacked Adjudicator Chris’s soul at close range. Even if he would be killed by this sword strike, he would still bring down Chris with him and kill him.

Swoosh!

Adjudicator Chris, who wore an ice-cold expression, was determined to kill the Magical Beast Core Deity, Yang Ling, and he sped up again. He also stretched his left hand out and reached for Yang Ling’s sharp Battle Soul Blade. As for his right hand, it strongly thrust the long sword forward, which contained his whole body’s Divine Power, and he penetrated Yang Ling’s chest. Even if he had to lose his left hand and even if his soul would sustain grave damages, he would still continue to shatter Yang Ling’s Godhead with a single strike.

“Awful! The lord…”

“Ah…”

…

When the Corpse Wizard King, Golden Roc, and other people raised their heads and witnessed Yang Ling’s dire situation, they cried out involuntarily, and they pounced toward him recklessly. Even the Dark Dragon King, Giant Ape King, and others who were bravely fighting the remaining experts of the three Great Divine Branches, also pounced toward Yang Ling crazily and roared loudly. But it was a pity that Adjudicator Chris was very swift, and when the crowd had just rushed out, the sharp sword already penetrated Yang Ling’s chest.

“Lord…”

The Blood Angel, Ophilia, holding a large blade couldn’t provide help in time, and she floated blankly in the air. Her cheeks were streaming with tears. As for the Corpse Wizard King and other people, their eyes turned bloodshot, and their minds went blank for a moment. The wanderers were observing this nervously without blinking, and they didn’t even dare to let out a breath.

The Adjudicator was a killing machine affiliated with the supreme Creator, and their power was beyond ordinary Dimension Wanderers. He had thrust his sword fiercely, and even the Multicolored Dragon Crystal in the legend, which was known as the hardest material, would be shattered, let alone a body of flesh and blood.

Roar!

At this crucial juncture, Ophilia and her companions closed their eyes in despair, and everybody assumed that Yang Ling would be killed on the spot. However, at this moment, a pair of bloody hands grabbed Adjudicator Chris’s sword tightly, and this man let out muffled roars that resembled a wounded wild beasts’ road. He held the sword tightly and didn’t let go of it.

At this time, Grand Wizard Houtu, who tore the Lich King into shreds didn’t bother with devouring the Lich King’s Energy Essence, and he rushed over recklessly.

“Die!”

Adjudicator Chris failed at the last moment, and he couldn’t help but let out a shout. He recklessly thrust the sword forward with his whole power, and he tried to shatter Yang Ling’s Godhead. But the sword was tightly held by Grand Wizard Houtu, and its sharp end was clasped by Yang Ling’s strong muscles. Even after Adjudicator Chris used his body’s last bit of power, he still couldn’t move the sword forward.

Ding!

Adjudicator Chris was very fierce, but the long-haired Grand Wizard Houtu, was fiercer, and he shook his head strongly. His head was harder than a meteorite, and it bashed against Adjudicator Chris’s head directly. The Grand Wizard, Gonggong, had once knocked down the Buzhou Mountain in the past with his head. Houtu wasn’t as terrifying as Gonggong, and he still didn’t recover his whole power. But his strike was thunderous, and it had a terrifying force of impact. It wasn’t any different than a falling meteorite’s strike.

In an instant, Adjudicator Chris near Houtu felt like his head suffered a hammer’s strike, and a large dent had even appeared on his head. Soon after, many fissures appeared on his head, and blood oozed out of it. Even his brain’s fluid flowed out, and his head was almost crushed like a melon.

Adjudicator Chris was a powerful Adjudicator, and his comprehension of the Laws’ many mysteries was higher than ordinary Dimensional Wanderers. It was even higher than ordinary Adjudicators. But his body wasn’t as tough as Grand Wizard Houtu, which excelled at close-quarter fights back in the day.

What was worse was that the thrust of Grand Wizard Houtu didn’t just nearly crush his head, it had also created a deadly crack on his soul defense, and Yang Ling’s precise Soul Attacks managed to pass through it and inflict heavy damage upon his soul.

“Ah… Magical Beast Divine Branch, I will come back.”

Adjudicator Chris’s soul was almost extinguished, but he was very experienced, and he still retained a bit of his mind. He quickly opened a Teleportation Scroll filled with symbols, and he didn’t bother even with picking up his rare Ice Sword. He let out a shout and entered the Teleportation Portal in a flurry. As a swooshing sound echoed out, he disappeared, and he left the Chaos Dimension through a life-saving scroll bestowed upon him by the Creator in the past.

“Darn it, he ran quicker than a rabbit.” Yang Ling pulled out the sharp Ice-sealing Sword and covered the wound on his chest with his hand. He let out a groan and said, “Kill them! Kill all of them, and don’t spare anyone.”

Adjudicator Chris had a Teleportation Scroll, which could be activated quickly, and it was left behind for him by the Creator for running for his life. But the three Great Divine Branches’ remaining troops didn’t have such a good lock, and they all couldn’t escape the hunt of numerous Magical Beasts. Yang Ling wanted to take revenge and intimidate other Divine Branches that harbored ill intentions toward the Magical Beast Divine Branch, and this was why he ordered them to slaughter everyone.

“Kill! Kill all of them!”

“Don’t spare anyone, kill!”

…

When the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and their companies saw the blood oozing out of Yang Ling’s chest, they roared loudly, and their bloodthirsty eyes turned bloodshot. They crazily attacked the troops of the three Great Divine Branches. The long-browed ancestor had discerned that the situation was far from good, and he wasn’t as arrogant as he was before. He turned around to escape, but when he had just turned around, he discovered that Grand Wizard Houtu, who had a man’s body and a snake’s tail, blocked his way out. In addition, when he turned around again and took a look, he discovered that the ferocious Corpse Wizard King, Golden Roc, Mother Empress and the other two valiant generals had encircled him

However, the reason why he became very uneasy was that Yang Ling, who survived a great calamity, wore a gloomy expression and sat cross-legged on the Great Wizard Altar atop the mountain’s peak. Yang Ling was weaving hand signs ceaselessly, and every time he weaved a hand sign, a wisp of obscure Energy Ripples would appear in the air. In an instant, layers of Restriction Spells were laid and an inescapable net was formed.
