Chapter 69 - Lord of Silver Descends

“Mental Shock!” The flame-ascending elder Mage released the spell at the first opportunity, a kind of magic that could interfere with the opponent’s casting of skills, somewhat similar to Lu Hong’s intimidation.

“Soul Shell.” Lai Li had anticipated such a move, and immediately released a defensive barrier, perfectly blocking the assault.

At the same time, another Third Transition rogue had already closed in on Lai Li: “Night Blade Slash!”

This was the rogue’s strongest armor-piercing skill, almost capable of breaking through defenses that were three levels higher than their own.

But the overconfident strike from the rogue was like hitting cotton candy, the advanced dagger didn’t pierce the barrier but got stuck in it.

“Soul Devouring!” Lai Li initiated the skill once more, the defensive barrier instantly expanded and swelled in an attempt to pull the rogue within.

“Ghost Leap!” The rogue made a swift decision, abandoning the dagger that couldn’t be pulled free.

Dropping the dagger, the rogue’s figure became a blur, evading Lai Li’s devouring, and then recondensing ten meters behind, glaring at Lai Li with a wary expression.

“Step aside, I’ll handle this!” A storm priest shouted angrily from the sky, the dark clouds tumbling and pressing down, making it somewhat difficult for Lu Hong to breathe.

“Thunder Fury!” The power of the Third Transition storm priest was formidable, and where the thunder hammer pointed, a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket poured toward Lai Li.

“I hate storm priests the most.” Lai Li looked disdainfully at the silhouette in the sky, completely ignoring the raging thunder coming towards her, and with a slight grasp of her fingers towards the storm priest: “Soul Rip!”

This time’s Soul Rip was completely different from before, targeting a Third Transition profession clearly with her full strength.

Before the thunder arrived, the priest in the sky felt a tearing pain, as if countless invisible arms were relentlessly tearing at his soul: “Ah!”

The storm priest screamed tragically and fell from the sky, fortunately caught by a Third Transition Knight who rushed over, but the priest was covered in blood and weak.

“Quick!

Call the Lord of Silver White over here.” The hand of the weakened priest that clung to the Knight’s cloak soon dropped listlessly.

“Kaqiu!” The Knight urgently invoked the power of Holy Light in an attempt to heal the storm priest, but the damage to the soul was not something Holy Light could heal.

Looking at Lai Li, the torrents of lightning that could have annihilated Lu Hong a hundred and eighty times had not caused her any damage.

This is unscientific!

Even Lu Hong was shocked; logically, souls are most vulnerable to thunder and flame, any thunder or flame magic should cause at least double the damage to Lai Li.

Although these Third Transition powerhouses were much lower in level than Lai Li, with their counteracting attributes, how could there be no damage?

“I possess an artifact immune to both thunder and flame.” Seeing Lu Hong’s confusion, Lai Li lifted her wrist, and as her sleeve slipped down, a delicate bracelet was revealed to Lu Hong: “This is my divine weapon, the Bracelet of Immunity.”

“Bull…

Bullshit!” Lu Hong was at a loss for words—this was exactly like having a cheat enabled!

With Lai Li being a soul walker, she had completely bypassed her professional nemesis.

“Damn it!

Fire Dragon Breath!” The aged fire Mage’s chant was already complete, and scorching flames surged from behind him, transforming into a roaring dragon, as the dragon’s fiery breath enveloped the sky.

“I also despise fire Mages.” Lai Li looked contemptuously at the old Mage: “Soul Wilt!”

As Lai Li cast her spell, a sudden malicious breeze picked up.

The other nearby Third Transition powerhouses who were waiting to strike also suffered the attack.

As for our elder Mage, he was directly in the path of the ghoulish wind, and it felt like his soul was being blown out of his body.

Struck by such a soulful blow, the dragon head in the sky could no longer be maintained and quickly collapsed, raining down a storm of flames.

“Holy Light Blessing!” The Third Transition Knight, sensing the power of this malignant breeze, hurriedly released a defensive skill and barely managed to fend off the force of the malicious wind.

“Shall we continue?

I’ve just warmed up.” After releasing the skill, Lai Li stood unaffected, and the remaining eight Third Transition powerhouses no longer dared to attack.

How could this woman be so strong?

“Send a signal, call for the Lord of Silver White to come!” The old Mage, most gravely poisoned, was now at half-life just like the priest.

It’s evident when an expert makes a move, these Third Transition professions did not dare to be complacent any longer; another Third Transition Mage, the Frost Chanter, hurriedly activated a magical device, calling for the Lord of Silver White to come.

“Hey, you better finish this fight quickly, we still have important things to do.” Seeing the call for reinforcements, Lu Hong said to Lai Li somewhat anxiously.

In Lu Hong’s opinion, ending the fight as quickly as possible, breaking the array and heading straight for the Sea of Flames was the normal course of action.

“No rush, I haven’t had enough fun, and since I’m out here, I might as well enjoy myself.” Obviously, Caesar guessed right; once Lai Li got going, she was like a demolition derby husky, not stopping until she had her fill.

As the magical device sent out its distress signal to summon help, a giant rift tore open in the sky above Hope Sea City.

What was revealed through this spatial rift was not the endless void but a bustling city and the assembled soldiers of the Silver White family ready for battle.

Seeing this, Lu Hong was completely shaken—the other side of the space rift was the Silver White Dimension!

The Lord of Silver White originally hadn’t planned to come to the Continent of God’s Grace so casually, or at least not to arrive at the scene so quickly.

But at this time, the Silver White Summoning Spell had already established a stable passage between the Continent of God’s Grace and the Silver White dimension, which is why the Lord of Silver White was able to arrive here in an instant.

“What business do you call me here for?” the Lord of Silver White slowly descended from the rift, his gaze turning toward the direction of the eastern city gate.

“Esteemed Lord of Silver White, these two have come to destroy the Great Silver Array, and we are no match for them, therefore we summoned you here,” the warrior at the Third Transition Peak said with the deference of a servant in the presence of the Lord of Silver White.

“Is it really the Master of the Seven Towers that can suppress you all with just one person?” the Lord of Silver White said, his eyes focusing on Lai Li, while selectively ignoring Lu Hong.

At this time, Lai Li had already donned a mask; the Lord of Silver White was well-informed, and she did not want to expose her identity.

Besides, Lai Li had casually cast a defensive skill to protect Lu Hong—the scrutiny of the Lord of Silver White, a powerhouse at the Third Transition Peak, was not something an ordinary person could endure.

“Who are you?

Dare you show your true face?” the Lord of Silver White asked with interest, looking at Lai Li: “I always feel you are young, but why do you possess such strong power?”

Lai Li was fixed in the appearance of a young girl, thus her true age was completely obscured.

“You’re not worthy to know,” Lai Li huffed coldly.

“Hahaha, there are very few matters in this world that I am not worthy of,” the Lord of Silver White laughed heartily, and suddenly, a dazzling silver-white spear shot out of nowhere, heading straight for Lai Li’s forehead.

Lai Li seemed to be prepared, her fingertips wrapped in powerful Soul Power, touching the tip of the silver-white spear.

The obstructed silver-white spear burst into a roar and then shattered inch by inch, dissolving into nothingness.

“You old shameless thing, that’s a sneak attack!” Lu Hong cursed.

“Courting death!” the Lord of Silver White of course discerned Lu Hong’s level; how dare such a worthless First Transition warrior speak to him with such disrespect?

As the words fell, a silver light pierced down from the sky.

“Shit!

Big leg, save me!” Lu Hong couldn’t dodge in time and hastily cried out.

“Rise!” Lai Li raised a single hand upward, constructing a defense above Lu Hong’s head with Soul Power, firmly withstanding the silver light that was bearing down.

“Being able to block my two attacks, you can be said to be quite strong,” the Lord of Silver White stepped into the void and landed about a hundred meters in front of Lai Li.

“Are you a retainer of the Prolo family?” the Lord of Silver White ventured.

“No,” Lai Li answered coldly.

“Then, are you a member of the Shaha family?”

“No, as well.”

This puzzled the Lord of Silver White: “I am familiar with every powerful individual in the Prolo and Shaha families, none of whom are of similar age to you.

I am really curious, just where do you come from.”

“I’ve said, you’re not worthy to know,” Lai Li wouldn’t admit being a person from the Prolo family, of course.

“Do not try to anger me,” the Lord of Silver White said coldly; evidently, it had been quite a while since anyone had spoken to him in such a manner.

“I just want to anger you, then have a fight with you,” Lai Li was rather straightforward, sharing her intentions directly.

“You are not the master of the Towers, what makes you think you can fight me and still leave unscathed?” the Lord of Silver White apparently had great confidence in his own strength; that is to say, apart from the seven Tower Masters of the empire, he feared no one, at least it would be an even match.

“You’ll find out soon,” Lai Li’s eyes flashed with a strong desire to fight, as immense Power of Soul slowly rose within her.

“Get in here first,” Lai Li said as she drew out a magical washbowl and quickly swept Lu Hong into it.

“Hey!

What are you doing?” Lu Hong was startled and then asked out of curiosity.

“I’m protecting you, of course,” Lai Li knew well if she were to fight with the Lord of Silver White, she might not be able to attend to Lu Hong; if these eight Third Transition warriors indecently launched a sneak attack, Lu Hong would be finished.

Having been drawn into a magical artifact, Lu Hong took a careful look around.

Everything was pitch black, except for an object overhead similar to a mirror, which allowed him to see the outside world through Lai Li’s perspective.

What a magical artifact, this was Lu Hong’s first encounter with such; indeed, the older one gets, the more they collect.

From now on, if Lai Li brought out any other miraculous items, Lu Hong would not be surprised.

“This magical artifact of yours, it looks very much like the Gold Splendid Basin lost from the Beimei family a long time ago,” the Lord of Silver White seemed to recognize the washbowl.

“Why all the nonsense?” Lai Li said without further ado and went straight into action.
