Chapter 731: Knowing One's Own Death
"Ling Zhan!!"
Compared to the vigilance of the Demon Dragon Palace and the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance.
The originally despairing Ansely, upon seeing Ling Zhan, her beautiful eyes instantly lit up with joy!
Even her anxious heart finally relaxed completely!
After all, she had witnessed Ling Zhan's extraordinary and terrifying strength firsthand!
Eight 145-tier veterans, all killed instantly by Ling Zhan without exception!
Though there were many enemies present now, they were all just Professionals above level 130.
She didn't know if Ling Zhan could defeat the hundreds of people here, but what she did know was that she was finally safe!
At the very least, her and Adolphus' lives were no longer in danger!
Honestly...
No one expected the Sacred Secret Realm to separate companions right after entry.
As a healer-class Professional, it was inherently disadvantageous, lacking offensive skills and being weak in combat. Even escaping was hard, so encountering enemies almost always meant death.
Luckily, Adolphus, a frontline-class Professional, was transported not far from her location. Otherwise, Ansely would have long been targeted.
After all, a woman as stunning as her, with a fiery, sensual body, was the easiest prey in a lawless, perilous secret realm like this.
Adolphus, the straightforward dragonkin man, showed a flash of joy upon seeing Ling Zhan appear, but it quickly turned to worry.
He had never seen Ling Zhan's strength.
Surrounded by so many enemies, it looked grim.
"Kid! All I can say is, you came at the right time! I was just wondering how to find you, and here you are, delivering yourself to me!"
Zhang Hu's sinister eyes fixed on Ling Zhan, his grin growing with delight.
Tang Wei, who had been standing off to the side, now walked forward at a slow pace, joining Zhang Hu.
After all, the rewards for killing this kid were immense, and there was no way Zhang Hu would monopolize all the credit.
Ling Zhan heard this but didn't reply. He calmly walked up to stand in front of Adolphus and Ansely, hands in his pockets, with a faint smile. "Trash, stop wasting time. If you're going to fight, do it now. Don't waste my time!"
The calm yet overbearing words shocked the Professionals secretly observing the situation.
This kid!!
He really wasn't afraid of death!
Even seeing his companions in a dire situation, he still jumped in.
If it were them, they'd have turned tail and left without hesitation.
As the saying goes: better a dead friend than a dead self.
In this perilous world of Professionals, looking out for yourself is the only smart choice.
"Good! Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"
"Everyone, attack! Tear this brat into pieces!"
Zhang Hu roared arrogantly!
He led the charge, unleashing the terrifying aura unique to a level 100 Martial God, enveloped in overwhelming martial intent, attacking Ling Zhan without hesitation!
Tang Wei, not to be outdone, immediately summoned his beast companions.
Under the profound magic fluctuations, massive, menacing beast companions appeared, so large they threatened to break the ceiling of the stone chamber.
Without hesitation, these ferocious beasts roared and lunged at Ling Zhan!
"Damn! Zhang Hu and Tang Wei joined forces! They clearly have a kill-on-sight vendetta against Ling Zhan!"
"No need to think about it. This non-specialist is definitely dead under this wave of attacks!"
"What a pity. That beautiful priestess is about to be ruined!"
The Professionals secretly observing from a distance shook their heads and clicked their tongues.
In their eyes, Ling Zhan's death was already certain.
He was facing the combined assault of Zhang Hu and Tang Wei!
Behind them, their subordinates were charging in with murderous intent!
In such circumstances, even a level 140 Professional would have no choice but to flee or face certain death.
The outcome was obvious!
Ansely quickly raised her delicate hand, casting two buffs on Ling Zhan.
'Oracle's Blessing'!
'Holy Spirit's Favor'!
Oracle's Blessing, infused with the power of Order, had evolved into an Order skill, increasing Ling Zhan's overall attributes by 500%!
Holy Spirit's Favor, an authentic SS-tier skill, granted an 80% damage reduction shield, while boosting Ling Zhan's armor, magic resistance, and health by 500%, along with a 60% increase in movement speed.
Feeling the buffs on him, Ling Zhan chuckled softly. Truthfully, he could handle the situation easily without Ansely's support.
But since his teammate buffed him, so be it.
Facing Zhang Hu, who lunged with a murderous expression, Ling Zhan smiled faintly. He didn't adopt any stance, only raised a finger and pointed towards Tang Wei at the rear.
Tang Wei felt a sudden surge of unease as Ling Zhan pointed at him!
Damn it!
He's targeting me!
But…
Tang Wei couldn't understand what method this kid could use against him!
While pondering in confusion...
Buzz!!
A feeling of weightlessness overtook him, and he found himself in a strange state of suspension!
"It's over!"
"I'm being teleported!"
Tang Wei's composed expression finally crumbled in shock!
He was all too familiar with the sensation of spatial teleportation!
The key was, as a Beastmaster, he couldn't counteract this teleportation!
Moreover, he could sense the high priority level of this spatial method!
This…
Swoosh!!
Before Tang Wei could say more, his figure disappeared from where he stood!
"You brat! Die!!"
Zhang Hu roared as he charged, all buffs activated, unleashing his ultimate move!
'Order • Annihilation Fist'!!
Originally an S-tier skill, 'Annihilation Fist' had been enhanced by the power of Order, upgrading it to an SS-tier ultimate move!
It dealt massive damage and had high armor penetration. Even if the target wore top-tier spiritual gear, taking this full-force punch from the Martial God would at least mean serious injury, if not death!
But just as Zhang Hu threw his punch...
"Huh?! Why is it you?!"
Zhang Hu screamed in shock!
Even the beast companions, mid-pounce, widened their eyes in confusion!
Ling Zhan had vanished from their sight.
Replacing him was Tang Wei, his face full of despair and utter disbelief!!
"This…"
Zhang Hu froze!
But the punch couldn't be withdrawn or canceled.
The beast companions' claws, mid-swipe, couldn't stop either, their sharp talons slashing straight at Tang Wei's face!
The arrow was already on the bowstring; it couldn't be stopped.
In this moment, Tang Wei felt the overwhelming threat of death.
He knew he was doomed!
