Legendary Son-in-Law: The Man with Poison Talismans

The Rainbow Demon Lord would occasionally turn his head to scan the area warily, and even rush a few steps in a certain direction, but Lin Mu would immediately disappear after poisoning him, giving the Rainbow Demon Lord no chance at all.

At the same time, Lin Mu's technique became smoother and more skillful.

Half an hour later, Lin Mu felt that he still had energy left.

He glanced at the poison damage numbers still jumping above the Rainbow Demon Lord's head, then swept his gaze towards the west city wall.

The barrier over there was being severely impacted. Monsters were crowding at the base of the city wall, frantically attacking the huge blue-white pillar of light. The defenders were frantically attacking the monsters through the pillar of light.

He thought for a moment, then teleported to the foot of the west city wall and sprinkled handfuls of red and green poison onto the horde of monsters that were attacking the barrier.

The gray-green and dark red mist exploded, spread, and diffused among the monsters, like ripples being pushed aside, enveloping swathes of monsters in the poisonous fog.

Before long, damage numbers popped up above the heads of the monsters outside the barrier below the city wall, a dense array of -110, -110, -110.

The defenders were still frantically throwing fire talismans and lightning bolts into the monster horde when they suddenly noticed that the monsters seemed to be held back by something, their movements slowed down significantly, and the damage numbers above their heads jumped out one after another. When their skills hit, the monsters' health dropped visibly.

Someone stopped what they were doing, peered down, then looked up at the white figure that was appearing and disappearing in the distance, muttering, "What's going on?"

The mage next to him was also stunned, forgetting to cast his lightning spell. "Why do I feel like my damage has increased?"

A murmur rippled through the city walls. Someone whispered, "It's not that we've gotten stronger, it's that those monsters have been poisoned, right?"

But no one can say for sure, so they could only steal glances into the distance while fighting.

At this moment, the Empress was standing at the highest point of the west city wall, with the Soul-Devouring Staff at her side. Her gaze swept across the entire battlefield and landed on the area outside the north city wall that was being rapidly covered by poisonous fog.

For the first time, undisguised amazement appeared in those usually calm eyes.

She saw the damage numbers jumping above the monsters' heads, saw them falling one after another, and saw the white figure crouching behind the wreckage, steadily spreading poison under the cover of two layers of invisibility.

Just then, another commotion arose inside the west city wall.

The figure of the Woma leader reappeared at a street corner in the city. With a flash of white light, he landed in the middle of a team that was transferring supplies. With a swing of his thick claw arm, electric current surged through his palm, and he sent one person flying. The person crashed into the wall and rolled down, losing a lot of health. He lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.

A Taoist priest nearby reacted quickly, raising his hand to apply both red and green poison to the Woma leader with precision.

But the Woma leader didn't take the Taoist priest seriously at all. His gaze was still fixed on the person on the ground who hadn't gotten up, and he raised his paw to deliver the final blow.

Just then, a white light exploded beside it. The moment the Empress landed, the Soul-Devouring Staff was already raised, and a Heaven-Extinguishing Flame wrapped in a purplish-black flame slammed into the back of the Woma Leader. With a bang, it blasted its body forward two steps, and the second claw that was about to fall was also broken.

The Woma leader turned his head and glared at the Empress with his blood-red eyes.

His eyes blazed with fury, as if to say: This human woman keeps chasing me and beating me, is she never going to stop?

But the Empress didn't give it a chance to fight back. With a wave of her staff, another Heaven-Destroying Flame, wrapped in a purplish-black flame core, chased after it and burned. The pillar of fire exploded at the feet of the Woma leader, and the debris and heat wave forced it to retreat several steps to the side.

Chapter 305 The Sun-Chasing Sword Technique, the Aura of the Moon Spirit

The Woma leader's carapace was burning hot from the heat. He let out a low roar, and with a flash of white light, he teleported away again. The Empress followed closely behind, also turning into a beam of white light and chasing after him. The two beams of light flashed one after the other in the streets and alleys, neither able to shake the other off.

Lin Mu watched this scene from afar, and now he understood.

The Empress's teleportation wasn't a teleportation ring's blink or teleportation; it was an ultimate mage skill in this world, even more powerful than a teleportation ring—instantaneous movement.

It can be activated purely through one's own understanding of space, allowing one to move from one place to another in the blink of an eye.

There are no skill books to learn this skill; only a very few people with exceptional talent and good luck can comprehend it on their own.

The fact that the Empress was able to master teleportation at such a young age is probably not just due to talent and luck; she has paid a much higher price for it than others can see.

Also, the Woma Cult Leader's teleportation cooldown is really fast; he can fire one shot and move to another location, and his targets are extremely clear.

Aside from harassing the defenders on the city walls a few times at the beginning, they kept heading towards the junction of the city's inner barrier.

Each time it landed, it precisely chose a certain node, and with a swing of its claws, it smashed towards the faintly glowing rune pillar, forcing the Golden Guards guarding the node to scatter and dodge. Then, it would disappear in a flash of white light, and by the time the Empress chased after it, it had already run away, leaving behind a shaky node that the guards had to frantically recharge with energy.

The Empress has also gone head-to-head with the Woma leader, relying on the fact that her Instant Movement skill has no cooldown, and keeps a close eye on the giant beast.

Wherever the Woma Cult Leader teleported, the Empress followed. The moment she landed, a meteor shower or a raging inferno would rain down on her, forcing the Woma Cult Leader to compress the gaps between his attacks into ever shorter intervals.

Two beams of white light flashed back and forth in the city's streets and alleys, one running and the other chasing, making the city's residents and the Imperial Guards look up in disbelief, as if watching a cat-and-mouse game that no one dared to approach.

Meanwhile, Lin Mu's side, the Rainbow Demon Cult Leader was becoming increasingly agitated due to the poison.

After all, the green poison ticks every two seconds, and the damage numbers above its head keep popping up. No matter how much health you have, you can't withstand this kind of attrition indefinitely.

It began to frequently turn its head to scan its surroundings, occasionally rushing a few steps in a certain direction and then wildly slashing, as if trying to catch the person hiding in the shadows who was releasing the poison, but each time it rushed over, it missed.

Frustrated, it stopped waiting and strode to the west city wall, unleashing a series of attacks on the semi-transparent barrier.

A Heaven-Opening Slash came down first, the blade wrapped in a layer of silver-white blade light, and the sharp blade force flung out a huge blue-white energy sword that was 10 meters long, which slammed hard into the blue-white light pillar of the barrier.

The barrier's pillar of light was knocked inwards and bent significantly, causing the entire barrier to shake violently, with ripples spreading outwards in concentric circles.

The Heaven-Opening Slash had barely ended when the Sun-Chasing Sword Technique followed immediately.

"Drink—ah—ah—"

A layer of intense golden light surged from the Dragon Slayer Saber. The Rainbow Demon Lord flicked it upwards, assuming a forward thrusting posture. Then, the long and bright golden sword energy, still in a human-shaped forward thrusting posture, flew off the saber, like a golden spear shadow piercing through the heavens and earth, and slammed into the same spot as before.

The golden fire exploded, and the barrier trembled violently again, with a temporary crack being broken open. The violent energy rushed straight to the main body of the city wall, and the broken stones and debris fell down the city wall with a clatter.

Lin Mu's eyes widened in astonishment; he had previously come across related records in ancient books.

"The force of the sun is sharp enough to pierce through armor. Any magic shield or barrier will crack upon encountering it. Its power can penetrate metal and stone, and though it is strong, it cannot be sustained for long. Therefore, advanced combat tactics often begin with breaking through shields using this technique, followed by the Heaven-Opening Blazing Fire, which will immediately cause the magic to collapse."

This means that the Sun Chasing Sword Technique is specifically designed to counter magic shields and barrier-type defenses. Warriors often use it to break shields when fighting mages. Once the shield is broken, the Heaven-Opening Slash will follow up immediately, and the fragile mage will be gone on the spot.

Before the barrier's pillar of light could stabilize, the Fiery Sword Technique struck again.

This strike seemed even more ferocious, with towering crimson flames tightly enveloping the blade, and waves of heat rolling outwards. The crimson blade flames slashed at the surface of the barrier, causing the light curtain to sizzle and burn, with charred marks spreading layer by layer along a row of light pillars.

And so the Rainbow Demon Lord stood beneath the city wall, relentlessly slashing at the barrier with his sword. Once he had used up all his burst skills, he distanced himself and launched an assassination attack.

The sheer force of the attack turned the guards on the city wall pale. This thing was incredibly powerful; every strike caused the pillar of light in the barrier to tremble violently. The Golden Guards responsible for channeling energy at the junction were covered in sweat, and some were already gritting their teeth and enduring the pain.

Just as Lin Mu was seeing that the barrier was struggling to hold up, the light representing the Moon Spirit in his mind suddenly flashed, indicating that the Moon Spirit had grown up.

He closed his eyes and glanced through Yue Ling's perspective. There was still a quarter of the liquid left in the wooden barrel. The acorn powder had been completely absorbed, and the remaining liquid had become transparent, indicating that it didn't have much medicinal power left. Yue Ling seemed to have eaten her fill and was no longer absorbing anything.

He withdrew his senses and scanned Yue Ling's status bar:

【Moon Spirit】

HP: 3200

Attack: 200-400

[Defense: 20-20]

[Magic Control: 20-20]

[Health Regeneration: 2 points per second]

Attack power has increased significantly, and health has also increased. Although defense and magic resistance are still relatively weak, ranged units don't rely on brute force to survive.

Without hesitation, Lin Mu raised his hand and raised the Free and Easy Fan to summon the Moon Spirit.

Suddenly, the crimson moon in the sky condensed into a blood-red moonlight, thicker and more vibrant than before, like a drop of diluted blood falling from the sky, gathering, solidifying, and taking shape in front of Lin Mu.

The moon spirit appeared before him, but its color had changed.

The original emerald green flowing dress has been replaced with a light pink tulle dress. The fabric is much less than before, revealing the shoulders and arms. The skirt is also shorter, exposing most of the slender waist and long legs. The petite figure looks even more sexy and alluring than before.

She gently flapped her pair of delicate blue wings, hovering in mid-air. As soon as she appeared, she raised her hand to fan the air, her voice sweet and soft: "Master...it's so hot."

She then blew Lin Mu a kiss, her pink lips slightly pouting.

Lin Mu's scalp tingled at the address of "Master," and he quickly looked away, pointing towards the west city wall: "Now is not the time to be horny..."

Because at that moment, all the monsters around noticed Yue Ling and turned to look in her direction.

But Yue Ling wasn't flustered at all. She tilted her head and spoke before Lin Mu could finish, her tone light and airy: "Master, don't worry."

Chapter 306 Remote Blade Strike Amidst Blades

After glancing at her, the monsters turned back as if nothing had happened and continued to wriggle towards the city wall, as if they hadn't seen her at all.

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

Moon Spirit has been absorbing the essence of the Crimson Moon, and her body is already covered with the aura of the Crimson Moon.

How dare those lowly thugs hit her? They probably wouldn't even dare to get close, treating her as one of their own from Chiyue's side.

He felt relieved and immediately made up his mind: That's perfect, let's go straight for the Rainbow Demon Cult Leader.

He teleported to a spot not far behind the Rainbow Demon Lord and raised his hand to replenish the red and green poison that had just disappeared from the Rainbow Demon Lord's body.

The dark red mist precisely enveloped the dark golden figure, and the poison damage numbers above its head began to jump again.

Then he dodged to the side, disappearing back into the two layers of invisibility, leaving the battlefield to Yue Ling.

Yue Ling received the order and didn't hesitate.

She hovered in mid-air, her palms thrusting horizontally in front of her. Suddenly, a bright yellow magic circle lit up beneath her feet. The light spread across the ground like an ever-expanding spider web, drawing in the remaining energy from her feet and gathering it thread by thread at the center of the magic circle, flowing up her slender arms and into her palms.

In the blink of an eye, two yellow energy balls the size of a human head condensed between her palms. The yellow energy balls grew brighter and heavier. When the energy balls reached their maximum size, Yue Ling pushed them out with both hands at the same time. The two light balls intertwined and spun in the air like two yellow snakes, shooting out and hitting the Rainbow Demon Cult Master directly.

With a loud "boom," the ball of light exploded, and the dazzling yellow light engulfed half of the Rainbow Demon Lord's body. The shockwave sent several small spiders around it staggering back two steps.

The damage numbers then popped up.

-5621.

Lin Mu crouched in the shadows, staring at the number, his pupils contracting slightly.

This damage is even more devastating than the skeleton's fiery sword technique.

Furthermore, Yue Ling's second attack consisted of those two large yellow energy balls, which alternately intertwined and shot out, exploding on the Rainbow Demon Lord's body.

-5197.

The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...

Every time it was the same yellow energy ball, with the damage consistently around 5400; it was never one of those small blue energy projectiles.

Lin Mu, crouching in the shadows, watched in utter astonishment.

He had seen Moon Spirit in the game. Most of the time, that thing would throw out a small blue energy ball with mediocre damage, and only occasionally would it trigger a burst of double yellow balls.

But my own Moon Spirit is different; it's a double-yolk egg from beginning to end.

This is equivalent to the skeleton's fiery attacks, but it's a ranged version, so you don't have to tank the damage.
