Chapter 166: A Full Breakthrough
After killing the giant spirit statue in the air, the falling Nicole did a beautiful backflip and landed on the ground. She crouched down, supporting herself with one hand, her posture elegant and graceful, making one can’t help but applaud.
Chen Ran didn’t have time to be depressed about the fact that he didn’t get any blood essence for dealing with such a big guy. He quickly cast this set of holy word seals on the other two main forces on the field.
Three golden characters with different effects spun around Mihawk and Klose one after another, and then they disappeared into their bodies. And the aura of their bodies also became incredibly thick at that moment.
Faced with a giant spirit statue that was more than ten times their size, Klose stood in front of the halberd-wielding giant spirit statue and no longer dodged.
The long halberd swept over again, heading straight for Klose. He didn’t run or dodge, and still stood in the strong wind. Klose also quickly sidestepped and dodged the giant halberd’s slash. And the moment he dodged that blow, he actually walked over and directly hugged the long halberd, which was much larger than him, with both hands. The thirty-meter-tall giant spirit statue was actually unable to pull back its weapon for a moment…
“Big guy, do you think you’re very strong?”
A hint of mockery appeared on Klose’s lips. The muscles all over his body suddenly bulged, becoming much more sinewy and explosive, as if they could burst at any moment.
“Fall down for me!”
Everyone couldn’t believe their eyes. They saw that the giant spirit statue’s body, which weighed dozens of tons, was actually lifted by Klose alone. Then, with a throwing posture, he moved the entire body of the giant spirit statue. The shocking visual sense made people feel incredible. The giant spirit statue couldn’t stabilize its body at all and leaned back inertially…
Boom!
The whole world shook heavily, splashing up a cloud of dust. Mihawk, who had been waiting there, gave a thumbs-up in Klose’s direction and easily jumped onto the head of the fallen giant spirit statue. He raised his right fist high and struck down heavily…
Crystal fragments splattered everywhere. The giant spirit statue finally quieted down, and its real color faded again, returning to the normal stone color. There was no more movement.
“You!”
The Dark Temple elder, who was floating in the sky, pointed at Chen Ran and the others in a fit of anger. He had not expected this group of people to be able to break the two ninth-tier giant spirit statues in this way. Because of the failure of the giant spirit statues, the entire space couldn’t help but dim a little, and the energy was no longer as solid as before. The Dark Temple elder was finally furious and completely released the power that the dark temple elites in the magic array had simultaneously enhanced, and began to bombard the ground wantonly.
Taking advantage of the free time, Chen Ran cast a Mass Heal on the brothers who had been injured in the battle with the giant spirit statues, restoring their injuries. But the old man in the sky seemed to have gone mad, and he was throwing down dark flame pillars as if his life depended on it. Streaks of black flame shot up into the sky, and the momentum was incredibly frightening.
Frightening was frightening, but it had to hit someone, right? The group of brothers who had been enhanced by Chen Ran were running faster than rabbits. If this continued, even a magus wouldn’t be able to withstand the consumption. It seemed that that guy had already made up his mind to fail…
Then, Chen Ran was wrong. The strange old man quickly realized that this would not be able to withstand the consumption. The energy increased exponentially. It seemed that he was preparing some kind of large-scale super spell…
“Brothers, deal with that guy in the sky!”
Chen Ran suddenly found that this old man was quite smart. He was just bullying them for not having an effective ground-to-air strength. And looking at the super energy shield outside that old guy, it was like a huge black fireball. It would have no effect to just throw ordinary weapons at it.
On the other side, Klose also extended his hand and greeted Nicole, who was not far away.
“Come, little girl. We’ll send you up.”
Klose nodded to Mihawk. The latter understood. The two of them bent down at the same time, their ten fingers intertwined, in a lifting gesture. Nicole quickly understood their idea, and the corner of her mouth curled up.
Nicole strode over. When she ran in front of Mihawk and Klose, her feet very naturally stepped onto their hands. She bent her body, in a leaping posture. The two of them exerted their strength at the same time, suddenly straightened their bodies, and threw Nicole up heavily. Nicole also took the opportunity to leap…
A figure rose high into the sky, straight toward the Dark Temple elder.
Nicole drew the Demon’s Defiance from her back, her pupils contracted, and a burning light flame shone on the sword again. She gathered her momentum in mid-air and drew an arc of holy flame…
“Heavenly Lock, Slaying Moon!”
It was as if the sky had been split apart. The dazzling light made one’s eyes blur. And what was displayed before everyone was a semi-circular crescent moon that had not yet dissipated, piercing through the black sphere where the Dark Temple elder was. That light was so beautiful that it made one feel lost…
“Impossible!”
The Dark Temple elder’s incredulous voice came. His voice became extremely hoarse, and the entire energy ball flickered, becoming extremely unstable…
Everyone couldn’t help but cover their faces…
Boom boom boom boom!
A series of explosions, earth-shattering. The falling Nicole was affected by the shockwave. With a cry of surprise, her body lost its previous balance, and her whole person fell from the sky. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, two hands timely extended out and caught the sinking figure. The huge inertia made her sink a lot, but she was still steadily caught just as she was about to land.
“I didn’t expect a beauty to fall from the sky,” Chen Ran said with a laugh, smiling at Nicole. “It seems you’ve been eating well recently. You’re a little heavier than I thought, but you feel good.” Originally, Nicole had wanted to say thank you, but after hearing this, her face was filled with shame and anger. She immediately pushed Chen Ran away and jumped down from his arms.
The battle was finally won, and everyone began to cheer.
It had entered the final stage.
Because of Nicole’s fatal slash, the Dark Temple elder had turned to ashes in the explosion, and the space he was in also began to collapse, instantly returning to the initial scene.
Then, the ground was covered with people. On a few special magic arrays, all the elites of the Dark Temple had fallen to the ground.
A few of his men went over to take a look. They were all not breathing and had just died not long ago.
A perfect victory. Not a single person on Chen Ran’s side had died.
Looking at the countless fresh red and green blood essence floating in the air, Chen Ran had never felt that happiness was so simple…
Congratulations on reaching level 41…
Congratulations on reaching level 42…
Congratulations on reaching level 43…
It wasn’t over yet. The energy was still rising…
Until it had risen to more than half of level 43, the blood essence value on the field was completely absorbed by Chen Ran. He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief, feeling refreshed and spirited, his kingly aura leaking out.
“Damn it, why didn’t you let me level up to 45 in one go!”
The insatiable Chen Ran couldn’t help but think this, humming a little tune, his mood seemed to be quite good.
The situation here in Diya City could finally come to an end.
Chen Ran found that Nicole was stunned on the spot, looking at her hand in disbelief.
He walked over and asked, “What’s wrong, beautiful? Where are you uncomfortable again?”
“I… I’ve broken through to the eighth tier…” Nicole clenched her fists, as if full of power. She looked up and repeated excitedly, “I’ve actually broken through again!”
“Uh…”
Hearing this tone, it seemed that this girl’s last breakthrough was not too long ago. And thinking of Nicole’s continuous amazing performance before, it seemed that a breakthrough was also to be expected…
To be able to reach the astonishing eighth tier at the age of about twenty, this talent was probably rare in the world. Those with this talent were now all famous big shots on the continent. And she had also settled such a big event in Diya City. It was foreseeable that this little girl’s promotion and fortune in the future…
Ignoring Nicole, who was immersed in happiness, Chen Ran went over to greet Mihawk and the others.
“How do you guys feel?”
“Great,” Klose said, flexing his biceps, his face filled with excitement. “I didn’t expect that at my age, I could still break through. I originally thought I would be stuck at the eighth-tier warrior for the rest of my life.”
Mihawk also nodded and said with a smile, “Although I don’t have the feeling of leveling up, the power in my body has also become more than a little more solid. I’m sure it will be easier to break through in the future.”
Several of his men also came over and said excitedly that their fighting spirit strength had also broken through the bottleneck and reached a higher tier.
At this, Johnson, who had performed well in this battle, also walked over, patted his bald head, and said with frustration, “Boss, why didn’t I break through…”
Go to hell! Why are you asking me this!
Looking at Klose and Mihawk, and Nicole, one ninth-tier, one nearly ninth-tier, and one eighth-tier, the experts had suddenly become as common as cabbage. Chen Ran was puzzled.
But after thinking about the effect of the Holy Word, he was relieved. The full status after the seal was applied was almost at the peak that the body could reach. At that time, the body’s perception was also the most sensitive. Not to mention that they had experienced a battle of this level, so it was reasonable that it was easier to break through.
Klose came over and patted Chen Ran’s shoulder with his big hand. “Little brother, I really didn’t come in vain this time. This battle was quite satisfying. If you have the chance in the future, remember to come to the southern sea of Ikadan. I’ll take you on a tour of the ocean world.”
Chen Ran readily agreed. “I’ll definitely go when I have time.”
Mihawk looked at his pocket watch. It was already dawn. It had been so long without him realizing it. He said to Chen Ran, “Brother Chen Ran, it’s getting late. We should retreat. After a night, the brothers are all tired. We’ll go back first.”
“Mmm,” Chen Ran nodded. “I’ll take care of the rest of the situation here. When you’ve rested enough, I’ll definitely pay a visit.”
Mihawk waved his hand, and a group of his brothers followed behind, and they all withdrew from this underground temple.
“Brothers, clean this place up. In the future, these territories will also be ours… Mmm, everyone will be rewarded when we go back tonight!”
“Long live the boss!”
Another round of cheers.
Just as Chen Ran was about to go out, one of his men called out to him.
“Boss, wait…”
Looking at the guy with the cheek-faced expression, Chen Ran stopped and said lazily with a yawn, “What’s the new situation?”
“Boss, we’ve been looking around the various rooms connected to the temple and found a secret door in a certain room. Looking at the collection in the room, it should be the Dark Temple elder’s room. My intuition tells me that nine out of ten, this is the treasure vault here!”
