After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

The bathroom, the walls, the balcony, the living room...

Every scene the Crow brought back made Xilin's eyes go black.

Upon learning that Lin Da was indulging in pleasures and shirking responsibilities, she felt utterly disappointed.

Yet somehow, relieved.

A 59-level brother, easily handled.

But how did a year pass...

And Lin Da became level 69?

She was the same level as Lin Da because she had received the Demon King's blessing.

Lin Da, an ordinary adventurer, how could he be the same level as her?!

And moreover, he had mastered 72 Rule Fragments!

Even the simplest and most accessible Magic Law was already astonishing.

At the mountain summit, more than three hundred demons wore grave expressions.

Reaching Limit Saint Level before the age of 30.

Not to mention advancing to Legend in the future, attaining level-80 Law Tier was practically guaranteed.

Across Mystic Continent, only a few hundred people had reached Law Tier.

They absolutely couldn't let him leave alive...

Similar thoughts sprouted in every demon's mind.

Delgon stroked his chin and nodded lightly: "Being able to kill the Green-faced Beast brothers and Sares' daughter, his strength isn't bad. He might qualify to serve His Majesty the Demon King.

Conversely, if this man resists stubbornly to the death...

Xilin, you understand what to do, right?

As servants of His Majesty, even if the one blocking our path is kin, we will kill them without hesitation."

"Understood,"

Xilin stared coldly at Lin Da, black mist surging from her eyes: "If he won't surrender, then let him die."

She shouted deeply, spreading bat-like wings and soaring into the air.

The Magic Spear stirred up a storm, its terrifying dark magic power causing spatial distortions.

Some weaker demons grew pale, forced to channel their full strength for defense.

This was outside the battle zone.

Inside the battle zone, the pressure Lin Da endured could only be imagined.

"Rare Technique, Illusion Demon Spear!"

In an instant, thousands of spear shadows blotted out the sky. By comparison, Lin Da's figure seemed tiny and insignificant, like a mantis trying to stop a cart, utterly fragile.

The four Heaven Rank demons smiled one after another, thinking: "Dying under Xilin's Rare Technique—this kid should feel honored."

His potential was undoubtedly remarkable, but if he couldn't serve the demons, he was an infinite calamity that must be destroyed early.

Just then, Lin Da moved.

His left hand flicked lightly, sending purple ripples outward.

Rare Technique, Fragile Aura!

All the demons present frowned as cracks began appearing on their shields, resembling glass on the verge of shattering.

Lin Da then released Verdant Shield.

After shattering his own shield, he deployed the Radiant Technique "Abandon Armor and Fight!"

The more shields he abandoned, the greater the strength of his next three attacks!

At this moment, Xilin descended to three meters above.

The Magic Spear was wrapped in swirling black currents, resembling a massive drill.

The countless spear shadows launched their thunderous attack simultaneously.

Suddenly, Lin Da disappeared.

Xilin was momentarily stunned, her mind barely having time to question the situation before the sharp sensation of a blade at her back hit her.

Terrified, she turned her head.

Without anyone noticing when, Lin Da had appeared behind her. His features were icy as bulging veins surfaced on his thick arms. A massive fist emerged—he punched!

"Urgh—"

Xilin's abdomen took the hit. Her eyes bulged, her mouth forming a perfect O.

Acid surged up her esophagus and spewed out.

This punch showed absolutely no "cherishing fragility!"

Where fist met belly, a white shockwave burst forth.

Bang!

Like a pink "cannonball," she shot straight out, dust pluming, carving a terrifying trench into the ground.

She barely stopped as she neared the edge of the mountain summit.

Lin Da retracted his Light Wings and landed calmly.

"The Witch, nothing more than this."

On the mountaintop, an eerie silence descended.

Over three hundred demons stood dumbfounded.

Xilin... had lost?

From the outbreak of this battle to its end, not more than three seconds had passed.

Their prideful Twelve Belongings member, Xilin, titled [Gluttony], had been defeated by this man in three seconds?

The crowd of demons had difficulty accepting reality.

The Witch was their elite warrior, while the Twelve Belongings were the elite of the elites.

Xilin's defeat felt like a resounding slap to their collective egos.

They couldn't help but feel the sting, as if branded by a scorching iron.

"Lady Xilin!"

One member of the Bull Horn Demon Tribe shouted anxiously.

He was Xilin's subordinate, one of the four Heaven Rank demons, and owed his current position to her promotion.

The Bull Horn Demon Tribe member pulled out an azure gemstone Magic Wand, glaring fiercely at Lin Da: "Dared to hurt Lady Xilin? Kid, I'll make you pay with your life!"

A Heaven Rank Spell gathered power, a massive azure magic array stretching across the sky, plunging the summit into darkness.

"Captain, watch out!"

Anna growled, her black dress tearing, her gray fur growing wildly.

The pure and lovely girl's face transformed into an ugly, rodent-like beast mouth as she spread her arms and pounded her chest, revealing her true form: the Ancient Giant Bat.

Drool dripped from her massive jaws as she strode forward in heavy, powerful steps, thudding toward Lin Da.

Anna used her double-edged battle axe as a shield, preparing to block the Heaven Rank spell.

Lin Da, however, seemed entirely unfazed, gazing toward the end of the trench as if waiting for something.

"Witch, your moment of attention has ended."

As his voice fell, a loud "boom" echoed, and an explosion of dirt blasted skyward from the trench.

A pink figure unfurled its wings and soared forth.

"Lady Xilin!" exclaimed the Bull Horn Demon Tribe demon, overjoyed.

The Xilin who appeared before everyone had a drastically altered appearance.

Her pink hair extended to her toes, her skin engraved with thorny patterns, eerie and captivating. Her dark magic power compressed to its utmost, releasing arcs of electricity into the air.

Though merely at Sacred Rank, she radiated crushing pressure that weighed down everyone present.

Lin Da exhaled deeply; not only did he need to defeat her, but he also had to capture her alive. The difficulty skyrocketed.

He unsheathed the Wind Shadow Sword, aiming it at the pink-haired girl whose hair danced wildly: "Let's begin, the real battle."

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two piercing sounds ripped through the air.

Most demons couldn't discern what happened, only hearing the deafening sounds of explosions.

Black and pink light clashed repeatedly in the air, each collision unleashing terrifying shockwaves that swept in all directions.

A few unlucky demons too close to the fight were struck by the shockwave, vomiting blood and falling like broken dolls towards the base of the mountain.

The Heaven Rank demons among the crowd had to join forces to channel Rule Fragments, erecting protective barriers to shield their subordinates.

Lia and Anna, witnessing Lin Da's full strength for the first time, stood slack-jawed, feeling deeply shaken.

So this was how strong Lin Da had become.

In the airborne clash, Lin Da consistently dominated the battle against Xilin's Witch State!

Why was Xilin's Illusion Demon Spear unable to destroy Lin Da's shield, despite hitting him?

Why was that teleport-like skill used six times and still available?

And with just one Healing Art, Lin Da was fully restored...

Objectively speaking, Lin Da fell short of Xilin in only one aspect: speed.

Yet the thrust-style techniques Magic Flame Strike and Feathered Snake Soaring perfectly compensated for this.

With King Snake Swordsmanship for offense, Verdant Shield and Healing Art for defense—he was a watertight warrior with no apparent weaknesses.

Even with Xilin entering Witch State, she was still being pressured and pushed back by Lin Da!
