Chapter 913: Who Told You My Master Was Dead?
That black thread was extremely thin.
If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even notice it.
But this thread was actually woven from a trillion magical energy strands!
You could consider it a "thick rope" twisted from countless tiny threads.
The skill 'Final Curtain of Ten Thousand Phoenixes' was meant to spread these energy strands to form a massive cage under the Scarlet Phoenix Demon Lord's control.
But now, he concentrated them all to pierce one target—Ling Zhan.
Clearly, he feared even this wouldn't be enough to kill the non-specialist.
A trillion magical strands fell upon Ling Zhan.
That meant a trillion individual hits!
Each strand was an independent unit.
And the damage from each was calculated separately.
So…
Even if each strand only did minor damage—
Together, they dealt a trillion points of damage!
And more than that…
Each strand had the power of an S-rank skill!
Meaning Ling Zhan was hit by a trillion S-rank attacks in an instant!
No matter how much health he had, it would be obliterated!
This was the Demon Lord's ultimate killer move!
Said to be capable of destroying the world itself!
In that moment…
Everyone watched in shock as Ling Zhan's body, pierced through by the terrifying skill, dropped like a broken kite.
His life force was like a snuffed candle—utterly gone.
Whoosh!!
This time—
Both the Demon-Slaying Legion and the Ten Thousand Demons erupted in uproar.
The demons were filled with joyous surprise!
He was dead!
They had finally killed that damn non-specialist!
Their Lord had won!
Lemoris Fortress was saved!
The humans' plan had been crushed again!
As expected…
The Ten Thousand Demons were the victors!
The noble race destined to rule the lower realm!
"Long live the Scarlet Phoenix Demon Lord!"
"Long live!"
Cheers surged like waves!
High in the sky, the exhausted Demon Lord heard the cheers and finally smiled with satisfaction.
That skill truly was terrifying!
He may have had the lowest level among the thirty fortress lords—
But the Demon Lord had been chosen to guard Lemoris for a reason.
His power, especially after using this skill, ranked him in the top ten!
He was no weakling.
Of course…
The cost of such a skill was immense.
It drained 70% of his mana.
Naturally…
The stronger the skill, the higher the mana cost.
It was only used when certain of a kill.
And after all his earlier fighting, his mana was nearly gone.
But it didn't matter.
In five minutes, his vast mana would regenerate.
Killing the non-specialist made it all worthwhile.
Once recovered, he'd turn to the ground battle!
Another crisis resolved by the Scarlet Phoenix Demon Lord!
After this, the flesh fortress must be upgraded at all costs!
Who knew the humans had developed a top-tier deactivation agent against Lemoris?
Hmph!!
But it didn't matter anymore.
That agent would soon be useless against the upgraded fortress!
All their research would become trash!
And he had slain a rising non-specialist star!
This was a massive win!
When the Demon Lord turned to the Demon-Slaying Legion—
Whoosh!!
Their faces turned pale!
Morale plummeted. They felt like prey before a predator!
"It's over…"
"The commander's dead!"
Their hard-earned morale collapsed as they saw Ling Zhan fall!
"Hahahaha!"
"Didn't expect the tables to turn so fast, did you, filthy humans?!"
"And you five beasts too!"
The Demon Emperors were ecstatic!
They now targeted Yun Man, Meng Shuang, Chang Yue, the little Golden Crow, and the little Holy Dragon.
These five divine beasts were all contracted to Ling Zhan!
But then…
Expecting to see despair, the Demon Emperors instead saw scornful smiles on the beasts' faces!
What…?
"Dead?"
"Who told you my master was dead?"
Yun Man raised her blazing bird head, divine fire surging stronger!
Her proud voice rang out clearly.
"What a joke!"
"The mighty Scarlet Phoenix Demon Lord got excited over killing a clone of my master? And you dare declare our defeat?"
As her voice fell—
"Huh?!"
Every demon—and even the despondent Legion—froze in shock!
Ling Zhan…
Wasn't dead!?
It was true—
Ling Zhan had survived.
Because in the very next instant—
Boom!!
A thunderous bang echoed across the world!
But sound was too slow!
By the time the world heard it—
A terrifying bullet had already pierced the shield the Demon Emperors guarded!
Splat!!
In their hopeless eyes, the fortress brain was ruthlessly pierced by a bullet faster than light!
Boom!!
The moment it struck—
Every attached skill effect exploded!
"Ah!!"
The nearest Demon Emperors were devoured by black flames!
And the fortress brain screamed—writhing in unbearable pain!
