Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 657 Practical Test
Sanctuary Paradise, Lailai Cult training ground.

[Tip: Advanced training mode has been enabled, current cost: 60000 Paradise Points/hour]

[Tip: I have accepted the training merger invitation of "The Deathbringer" and am currently in the same "Advanced Training Module" with "The Deathbringer"]

"Let me confirm first. Each person only has one life, right?"

On the silver-white training ground, Xin Lailai, who had already entered the elf assimilation state, held Yuan Mo, looked at the Death Bearer standing 500 meters away from him, and spoke.

"Ah."

A cold response was heard. The executioner in the distance simply responded, then leaned forward slightly. He placed his right hand lightly on the hilt of the knife. Xin Lailai's figure was reflected in his dark blue pupils, and he made a gesture to draw his knife and prepare for battle.

"Very good, that's no problem."

Upon hearing this, Xin Lailai smiled slightly, then lowered her eyes, held Yuan Mo in both hands, and stared at the person in front of them with Ling Yuzi. The fighting spirit in her pupils began to rise rapidly.

[Hint: The "Death Bearer" has sent you a "battle" invitation, do you accept it? ]

[Confirmed. "Advanced Combat Mode" is about to start. During this period, the equipment durability/skill cooldown/physical load of both parties will be locked, and the health value will be reduced to a maximum of 0.01%]

[Currently selected battlefield: Universal Blood Sand Land, battlefield generation in progress...]

[Countdown 10…9…8…]

As the cold prompt sound fell, the pure white field under the feet of the two people began to collapse into a layer of dark red gravel at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally pure white dome also began to quickly turn into a blood-red sky. The setting sun like dusk was still on the distant horizon. The simulated strong wind swept up the blood-red sand all over the sky, slapping on the faces of the two people, bringing an extremely real touch.

【3…2…1……】

Om-! !

As the countdown gradually drew to an end, two similar yet completely different dark auras slowly rose from both sides of the blood sand battlefield, and then...

[The timer ends and the battle begins! ]

Pong!
Almost at the moment the announcement was made, Xin Lailai and the Death Bearer on both sides of the battlefield disappeared from their original positions at the same time. The Youlin Sky Feathers behind Xin Lailai spread out, causing his body to suddenly retreat a long distance. At the same time, his mental power moved, and he released two spells towards the area in front of him without hesitation.

Rock Creation Magic: Wrath of the Earth Dragon!
Crystal Gravity Technique: 30 times amplification!
boom--! !

A huge roar was heard, and a rock dragon head that was hundreds of meters wide roared out from the ground and bit the path that the deceased had to take. At the same time, an extremely heavy traction force descended from the sky, causing the wind and sand wherever it passed to sink suddenly downwards.

When the Death Eater faced this scene, there was no panic in his eyes. He stepped his right foot with all his strength in mid-air, and while his body was spinning with the force, he instantly drew out the pitch-black sword in his hand, and while accelerating against 30 times the gravity, he slashed downwards with all his strength!
Dark Slash: Draw the Sword.

Zheng——! !

A sharp clanging sound rang out, and in mid-air, an arc-shaped pitch-black slash flashed by, instantly splitting the rock dragon head that was biting towards the Death Bearer into two. The Death Bearer himself stepped on the ground with all his strength, creating a huge sonic boom, and forcibly increased his body speed to the limit despite the 30 times gravity. The blade in his hand swept through the air, leaving a pitch-black slash mark, and instantly broke through the gravity area at an unimaginable speed, slashing towards Xin Lailai.

So fast…!
Xin Lailai looked at this scene, his pupils shrank slightly, and he decisively gave up using spells to consume the magic. A circle of crystal platforms formed under his feet, and he stepped forward heavily in mid-air, raising his sword to block the direction of the dead man.

Dark Slash·Death Strike!

Boom——! !

There was no sonorous metal collision sound as imagined, but a loud rumbling sound like two high-speed trains colliding with each other. The Death Master slashed at the Yuan Mo in Xin Lailai's hand with a slashing move. The kinetic energy amplified by the master of kicking skills and the strength of the master of swordsmanship exploded on the blade, causing Xin Lailai to groan and take a small step back.

But in the next moment, Xin Lailai swung the deep ink in his hand, relying on the suppression power brought by the strong body and the heavy sword master, and shook the blade of the Death Holder with a sword in the flashing black light of the demon crystal, and slashed at the Death Holder with a sword. Facing this powerful and heavy blow, the Death Holder did not seem to want to dodge at all, and just let the deep ink slash at his body, and then...

Wow——! !

The spatial fluctuations that were so obscure that they were almost imperceptible spread out. At the moment when Yuan Mo was about to touch the person holding the dead, his body surface was covered with a circle of dark color. At the same time, his figure became extremely illusory, allowing Yuan Mo to pass directly through his body.

As expected, he plans to rely on Netherworld to regain the initiative!
When Xin Lailai faced this scene, a deep light flashed across his dark pupils, as if he had already expected it.

Netherworld.

Different from ordinary space travel, the essence of Netherworld is to pull the dead into a "Netherworld Space" between the sub-space and the deep space. Because the space layer where it is located is independent of the conventional sub-space and deep space, it is impossible to attack it by breaking the Dragon Shadow Flash and traveling through space with it. It can be called a rogue-level counter-attack skill.

Zheng——! !

The crisp sound of clanging blades was heard, and the Death Bearer, who had dodged Xin Lailai's attack by using the Netherworld, did not hesitate at all. His figure instantly turned into several dark afterimages, which passed through Xin Lailai's body, then stopped at once and slashed at Xin Lailai from several different angles.

As expected, after becoming a netherworld, he will immediately be in the Instant Prison? !
Xin Lailai looked at this scene, his eyes moved slightly, and his spiritual field instantly expanded to the extreme, accurately locking onto the real body of the Death Master hidden in the death clone.

Dark Slash: Instant Prison.

Based on the clone condensed from the Netherworld death energy, it relies on "Netherworldization" to block the opponent's perception while launching ultra-high-speed slashes from multiple directions together with the Netherworld clone. It can be said that this is the set of starting moves that the opponent is most accustomed to using when he was on the White Frontier Star. Although the damage caused is relatively low, it is good at stably injuring the enemy and making the enemy suffer the erosion effect of the Netherworld death energy.

The most important thing is that because the Deathbringer's own slashing attack is too threatening, even if the real body hidden in the Netherworld clone is discovered, the enemy, facing attacks from multiple directions, can only choose to prioritize resisting the attacks from the Deathbringer's real body, while choosing other ways to resolve or resist the Netherworld clone's slashing attack.

and……

Did he deliberately stagger the attack frequency of the Netherworld clones, and even let some of the Netherworld clones launch attacks from the subspace, in order to restrain his blocking and space-travelling abilities?

Xin Lailai sensed the eight Netherworld clones around him that were charging at varying speeds, and felt the icy cold threat coming from all directions. He grinned, a burning look in his eyes, and took a decisive step forward. In the reflection of the dark blue pupils of the Death Holder, he slashed at the opponent's body with a sword.

If they were in the past, facing this kind of rogue combo, they would have had no choice but to withstand part of the attack, forcing themselves to be corroded by the Netherworld's death energy and fall into a passive state, but now -

Tangled Blade·Domineering Slash!

Dark Slash, Cutting Off the Flow!

boom--! !

The next moment, the heavy giant sword shining with pitch-black color and the blade condensed with terrifying deathly aura collided heavily with each other, and a huge black storm was set off from the spot, which rolled up the blood-red sand below to create a large concave pit. The figure of the death-taker was also sent flying by this blow, and Xin Lailai's figure was slightly paused by the impact of the opponent's full-strength slash.

Wow!
Almost at the moment when it paused, seven pitch-black blades from different directions and even different spatial layers rushed out from the storm and slashed at Xin Lailai at extremely tricky angles, not intending to give it a chance to breathe. However...

Ding ding ding ding——! !

The imagined sound of flesh being cut did not come, but instead, there was a series of extremely crisp collision sounds. Several golden lights flashed from Xin Lailai's body surface, and under the gaze of the slightly stunned blue pupils of the Death Executioner, all the attacks from the Netherworld clone were blocked.

As early as the first time they came into contact with the domineering state, they had already begun various researches on the body-protecting energy. However, because their perception ability and the strength of the body-protecting energy were not enough at that time, many things could only remain at the imagination level and could not be put into practice.

But when they were promoted to the Grandmaster level and their qualifications related to several Grandmaster abilities were upgraded to A-level, things were completely different.

With Soul Master LV.20 + Block Master LV.20 + Mana Master LV.20, their research on the protective energy is no longer as helpless as it was in the beginning. Although they cannot directly cast spells with the protective energy, it is not a difficult task for them now if they simply use mana to activate the protective energy locally.

When they combined this technology with the 'Automatic Shield Technique' in the spell, what was born was a spell that could automatically make a defensive response within 0.003 seconds based on the energy fluctuations on their body surface. It could be called a multi-stage + low-power + sneak attack nemesis spell.

Crystal Blocking Technique: Automatic Type! Ding——!!

There was a crisp and pleasant collision sound. It was the last attack from the Netherworld clone from behind. When the Death Blade in its hand appeared within 5 centimeters of Xin Lailai, a light golden crystal shield suddenly rose up at the landing point, and finally collided with the Death Blade in just a few tenths of a second, perfectly blocking the attack without any active operation from Xin Lailai throughout the whole process.

This is the power of the mage. For a technical mage, facing this kind of simultaneous attack from different directions, it is basically impossible to block them all without crushing the opponent's physical speed, unless you have several arms. However -

——For the wizard, he can have as many arms as he wants, called "Ritual"!

"It looks like flowing fire, falling red..."

Peng——! !

In mid-air, Xin Lailai, who relied on the Crystal Shield Technique·Automatic Type to perfectly resolve the combo of the Dead Man, did not hesitate at all. He fanned the black iron feathers behind him without hesitation, and instantly uttered a short chant while keeping the distance. But before he could finish, a gust of oppressive wind pressure attacked him, accompanied by a black long sword that slashed towards his face, causing his pupils to shrink.

Dark Slash·Death Strike.

clang--! !

The next moment, the pitch-black blade collided with the giant sword wrapped in chains, making a dull sound. The cold death energy exploded close to Xin Lailai's face, trying to interrupt his chanting. However, Xin Lailai seemed to be completely unaffected. While holding the sword and colliding with the Deathbringer, he quickly finished the chanting in his mouth:

"It all begins with separation and ends with death!"

The third-tier large-scale magic: Fall of Blue Flame!

"Roar--!!!"

In an instant, nine huge fire dragons rushed out from the rapidly forming vortex of flames, rushing towards the direction of the Death Holder and Xin Lailai with bared fangs and claws, as if they were planning to swallow up Xin Lailai. Not only that, as the magic was completed, a circle of extremely terrifying soul fluctuations quickly spread from Xin Lailai's brain, which was a sign of preparing to release the Soul-Destroying Gaze.

Seeing this, the Death Holder's eyes in dark blue pupils moved slightly, and he decisively activated his own ability, preparing to enter the "Netherworld" state again...

boom--! !

A silver-white light flashed, and a circle of extremely chaotic space fluctuations suddenly erupted around Xin Lailai, causing Xin Lailai and the Death Bearer to groan in unison, and their eyes briefly became distracted.

The only difference is that the signs of transformation to the underworld on the Death Holder's side were directly interrupted, while the release of the Soul-Destroying Gaze on Xin Lailai's side showed no signs of stopping!

'Odds! '

Soul-destroying gaze!

An extremely violent soul shock rushed out from Xin Lailai's mind, and slammed into the mind of the Death Holder along the lock of his mental power. At the same time, Xin Lailai, who had recovered from the space shock state first, did not hesitate at all, and decisively activated the space shuttle ability of Nether Sky Feather, and escaped into the subspace under the reflection of the fire dragon biting down from above.

boom! ! !
The next moment, a deafening explosion sounded from mid-air, and nine giant flaming dragons bombarded the position of the Death Eater, illuminating the entire battlefield in a fiery red. Xin Lailai, who was in the subspace, looked at this scene with a deep look in his eyes.

Crystal space technique: chaotic space.

This is another spell they developed in the past four days. Thanks to the Heart of the Extreme Blade and the Soul Master, although their perception of space fluctuations has not reached the level of senior space mages, they have already stepped into the threshold of being able to study space spells.

This "Chaos Space Technique" is the result of their research on space magic in the past four days. Although they are not able to use all kinds of powerful space spells like normal space wizards, if they simply generate a chaotic space wave to cause a small-scale space shock, it will no longer be an impossible task for them.

Zheng——! !

The crisp sound of clanging blades was heard, and in the air, the huge fireball that illuminated half of the battlefield lasted for less than a few tenths of a second before it was blasted into pieces by a wisp of tiny flames under the dark death energy that shot up into the sky.

On the battlefield, the executioner, with almost no burn marks except for the corners of his clothes and the ends of his hair, stood on a platform formed by the deathly aura of the underworld. On his left and right were two huge ghost hands that slowly dissipated.

Obviously, although the combo just now was quite perfect in terms of strategy, it only relied on a space shock + a third-level large magic + the soul-destroying gaze, which obviously could not pose much threat to the Death Master who was also in the outer-level team, but...

Om-! !

A faint spatial fluctuation flashed by, and Xin Lailai's figure reappeared in mid-air. He looked at the person holding the dead in front of him with a serious expression and said:
"I say... you didn't learn any soul resistance skills, did you?"

Although he himself had never thought that he could defeat the opponent with that little trick just now, the reaction of the Death Master when he was hit by the Soul-Destroying Gaze was obviously much lighter than last time. This was definitely not a normal phenomenon.

"I learned one."

The Death Holder answered indifferently, with no emotion visible in his dark blue pupils, as if the defeat just now was just a trivial matter.

Is that really the case?

Xin Lailai's eyes twitched slightly when he heard this.

He remembered that the Death Master had said at the beginning that the Nether Skill Points he had stored were some of his core abilities for the fourth level, and he didn't intend to use them at the third level, but now...

"Excuse me, how many dishes did you order?"

"Including the one just now, three."

Zheng——! !

The cold voice fell, followed by the whistling sound of a long sword cutting through the air. After a simple answer, the Death Eater stepped towards Xin Lailai without hesitation. His figure instantly turned into a residual shadow, and he slashed at Xin Lailai with a sword.

"..."

Very good, it looks like we might have to fail here today.

Seeing this, Xin Lailai did not try to avoid the attack of the Death Eater this time. Instead, he took a step forward like the other party. The sword in his hand flashed with a pitch-black light, and a burning fighting spirit rose in his eyes.

Since the Death Master was willing to spend all the professional skill points originally reserved for the fourth level for this battle, and he had already tested everything that needed to be tested, there was no need for them to be obsessed with the so-called victory or defeat!
"Come!"

On the bloody battlefield, Xin Lailai's figure flew through the air, and white spots of light floated up from his body, undisguisedly combining with the demonic power on his body, turning into extremely dazzling devouring crystals.

When the Death Eater saw this scene, a strange look first appeared in his dark blue pupils, and then an imperceptible smile flashed across his face. The fighting spirit in his pupils boiled again, and the death energy behind him soared into the sky, condensing into a huge ghost hundreds of meters high, following his movements and slashing towards Xin Lailai with a huge sense of oppression.

"continue!"

boom--! !

The next moment, the energy symbolizing annihilation and the huge ghost formed by the death energy collided with each other, and a blood-red sand waterfall rose up on the battlefield, like a curtain suddenly rising on the stage, swallowing up the figures of the two people.

Whether we win or lose, it doesn’t matter!
Now, they just want to enjoy this precious battle outside the discussion!
