Resources are rapidly transformed.

The power of the green dragon, Dust Thorn, instantly fell into Wu Chen's hands. Aside from Dust Thorn's dragon soul, which he had yet to utilize and would only don the dragon sacrifice mask when the time was right, everything of value on the dragon was now his.

He raised his hand.

The dazed Paladins in front of him made a move. The leader of the Knights, who was carrying one of the Holy Kingdom's greatest treasures, the Holy Sword Safarisia, hurried forward, looking anxious and wanting to say something.

'Peng——'

The wind is howling.

The wind interrupted whatever words she was about to say.

The dark sword carried by the green dragon "Poison Thorn", which was two meters long, weighed nearly a hundred pounds and had the power to destroy demons, broke through the air under the traction of the mind and landed on Wu Chen's raised right hand.

The sword's name was 'Shen Ye'—he knew, of course, that the appearance of the Poison Thorn had nothing to do with the Knights before him. But he could sense a subtle hint of hostility within the Knights, and this was the perfect excuse to dispel that hostility.

"Aren't you going to attack?" Then he said, "I'll give you time to prepare. Or, I can go first."

His voice just fell.

A member of the Knights' Order, a Heroic Priest named Kuirat, responded. A ball of invisible light suddenly burst out from the end of her staff, and the next moment, the wind around her stopped flowing!

The third level of magic, silence.

The sound within the area was instantly silenced, and untrained magic casters lost the ability to cast spells. And in the next instant, a dazzling light suddenly lit up!

Third-tier magic, strong light.

It wasn't a blinding spell that directly affected the target, but rather a powerful beam of light that didn't factor in the opponent's magic resistance strategy. The Paladins, already accustomed to this tactic, had already reacted. The strongest Knight Commander even drew his holy sword and, roaring silently, sped towards Wu Chen's direction!

unexpected.

It was indeed unexpected.

In the twelve days since Wu Chen embarked on the Path of Power, he had indeed not properly engaged in effective tactical interactions with opponents of the same level who had no restraint relationship with him. However, this did not mean that he was unable to cope with the current situation!
Should I flee? Use teleportation to create distance and then take action?

Or should he abandon the previous declaration of not harming lives and directly unleash elemental aura around him, or continuously release high-damage spells such as elemental shock at close range?
No, not at all.

Because he was completely different from before. The secrets of casting high-level magic were now within his grasp. Even if he couldn't hear or see for a moment, he could still take action.

Inside the elemental orb, magic power is activated.

Fifth-level magic, fossils into mud, unfold.

With Wu Chen's feet as the center, within a radius of one hundred meters, the smooth earth instantly transformed into a thin muddy slurry. All the paladins, whether mounted or on foot, fell on empty air. Even though they were elite warriors capable of reacting in a timely manner, they were unable to act effectively at this moment!
There are only two combatants who can correctly understand the current situation.

Kuirat, who had already been suspended in the air, gave himself a third-level flight. Remedios leaped from her warhorse, treading through the mud as if striding across flat ground as she lunged towards Wu Chen's position!

A dozen meters in a single leap, the holy sword in the Knight Commander's hand emanated a faint glow. This ancient artifact could discern the wielder's alignment. The more evil the target, the greater its radiance. If it were the other way around, its brightness would plummet until it reached zero.

This is the perfect identifier.

Without hesitation, she swung at Wu Chen, who was within arm's reach. Amidst a silent roar, a divine glow flickered faintly at the tip of the blade. Even more divine power poured into it!

Strengthen the Holy Strike!

That brilliant light, which blazed like a towering tower against the evil, faded into a faint shimmer just as it was about to strike its target! He was a good person, the undoubted good person in the human order.

The Paladin leader's pupils shrank sharply, and the killing intent she had barely mustered vanished. Only the will to fight for her family and friends remained. Regardless of the situation, her posture and movements were captured by the threads of telekinesis that Wu Chen had spread all around her!

This is the difference between telekinesis and telekinesis.

The former is more dispersed and flexible. Even when Wu Chen was a beginner, he could divide his telekinesis into fifteen beams. Now, after advancing and being strengthened by the order of the other world, he can even increase the total number of telekinesis beams to three digits!

Breathe in.

Fingers clenched.

The ability is increased, the gust of wind and the strong wrist attack are activated immediately.

And that precise slash, which was almost identical to the result of Du Ji's decades of practice, was swung out rapidly with Wu Chen holding it in one hand!
Jade Slash.

The target of the slash was not Remedios's body, but the center of the holy sword in her hand.

The holy strike light that should have had a significant effect disintegrated and shattered the moment the sword blades touched, and the next moment, the powerful impact penetrated into the knight's sword-wielding hand!
"Bang—" If there hadn't been a silencing spell, there would have been such a loud noise.

Even without a sound, the Knight Commander's solid, seamless armor was ripped apart and flung away by the exploding, shattering energy. Remedios had chosen this, letting her armor and right arm absorb the force of the sword's impact, sparing herself from being swatted away like a fly.

So strong.

The defeat only revived the Knight Commander's flagging fighting spirit, and large patches of blood splattered across her exposed white right arm. However, the amplified support from Kuirat landed squarely on her.

good chance.

At this moment, she infused her left fist with strength, her speed increasing further thanks to the 'Water Acceleration' technique. Without hesitation, she seized the moment the opponent swung his sword and swung her fist at the magic caster, who theoretically shouldn't be very good at close combat!
Combat skills, hard strike.

The force of the blow even stirred up a cloud of white mist around the fist. This was the only chance to get close, and even if it forced the opponent to evade, it would be considered a considerable achievement.

She had high hopes for this punch.

However, the next moment, her fist, which she swung with all her might, hit the wrong thing prematurely!

'Ding!' The sound still did not exist.

But her fist stopped on a thick piece of steel.

It's a sword.

The massive sword, which shouldn't have been there, blocked her fist. And the powerful punch that could have knocked the demihuman king back with one blow was completely unable to shake the sword!
Combat skills, instant reflex.

The Knight Commander couldn't imagine the kind of training a magic caster must have gone through to be able to unleash multiple powerful martial arts in such a short period of time. However, she knew that if the opponent's initial Jade Slash had targeted her neck or even her chest, then she would probably only be able to hope for Kuirat's resurrection spell.

Lost...

She felt regretful, but calmly closed her eyes. At the same moment, a huge hand of power clenched into a fist and slammed down on her from the side.

A dull pain accompanied by darkness hit her, and she was knocked to her knees, and then her consciousness suddenly stopped.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw the entire Knight Order, hundreds of elite paladins, lying twisted and grotesquely on the ground. And her proud and talented sister was bound in mid-air by several light bands. It was clearly the light binding technique that Kuirat was best at, but at this moment, it bound Kuirat himself.

The man named Dust was still standing there, unharmed, without moving a step.

This is the final outcome.
