Although his Spirit Attribute was too low, the level 30 Fireball Technique unleashed by the Dark Curtain Treasure only dealt about 3,000 damage, but it was still enough to burn the woman in front of him four times.
But what he couldn't have imagined was that the person standing in front of him was the number one on the Blue Star ranking list, a genuine peak Intermediate Sorcerer.
Although Yun Xi's Fireball Technique is only level 20, it can still unleash an attack of up to 7,100 points even if it consumes a minimum of 100 points of spiritual energy.
Upon contact, Yun Xi's fireball passed through the short man in black robes, and the attacks canceled each other out, leaving 4,000 points of attack power, which she then used to strike the short man in black robes.
He didn't even have time to let out a scream before he was instantly reduced to ashes by the fierce attack of the Fireball Technique, just like the fate he had previously predicted for Yun Xi.
Only a strangely shaped ring remained, emitting an eerie light.
The ring was too strange, Yun Xi didn't touch it. She first used her Appraisal Skill and Information Extraction Technique to examine it.
As she expected, this was a special defensive piece of equipment that could immunize against physical and magical attacks below 2000, making it a top-tier piece of equipment.
No wonder this guy is so arrogant. After all, at this stage, on the Blue Star rankings, apart from Yun Xi, who is number one at level 20, the other top 100 Blue Star powerhouses are only at level 12 or 13, and their spell attacks are only around 1,000, far from reaching 2,000.
Yun Xi continued to use her Information Extraction Technique to extract information from the ring multiple times. After ensuring that it had no other side effects or strange markings, she put it on herself.
If you don't need it in the future, you can sell it without wasting it.
With that matter settled, Yun Xi looked to the other side, where the Tall Black Robe Man had already engaged in combat with the officials.
The Tall Black Robe Man and the short man in black robes had similar defensive equipment, and both were able to launch attacks while protected by the Dark Curtain Treasure.
The officials were clearly struggling to cope, and some were even in despair.
"How is that possible? How can you be immune to all attacks?" one of the youths shouted.
Unlike the Tall Black Robe Man in black robes was not flamboyant. Hearing his questioning, he coldly said, "I advise you to hand over that item as soon as possible. It is something you should not have that has brought you this calamity. Although I can still find you even if you don't hand it over, less trouble will mean less suffering for you, won't it?"
"What are you talking about, 'the bottom'? What have we, the bottom of Jing City, done to offend you? Besides, even if there is something, couldn't you have come to us privately? Why did you have to launch this attack, causing the entire city to suffer annihilation? Don't you care about human lives?"
Despite their disheveled appearance, the Jing City leaders still stared sternly at the tall man in black robes.
After saying this, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His thigh had been burned, and if it weren't for the life-saving item he had, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on by now.
A young girl nearby saw this and quickly fed him Blood Replenishing Potion.
"Who exactly sent you?" The Jing City leader paused for a moment before asking the tall man in black robes again.
"I'll say it again: don't know what you shouldn't know, and just show us what you need to show, so we don't waste any more time."
"One last reminder: anyone in this city who has seen that thing will die. That's why my boss sent out the Dark Curtain Treasure. There is indeed some causal relationship between them, but you don't need to know. You're all going to die anyway."
Just then, Yun Xi arrived.
"What are you talking about? I'm curious too."
Upon hearing this, the Tall Black Robe Man looked at Yun Xi, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
How could that be? Didn't the shorter guy go find someone?
Why didn't the short guy come? Instead, this guy came looking for him.
"What about the short guy? What did you do to him?"
"What else can we do? Of course we've dealt with him. He who kills will be killed, won't he?" Yun Xi coldly.
"Impossible! He has that level of defensive equipment on him!" The Tall Black Robe Man' expression changed repeatedly.
The official personnel next to him, who had already suffered multiple setbacks, looked at Yun Xi with expectant eyes.
I initially thought Yun Xi, dressed in black robes, was part of the same group as this tall young man, but according to what the tall man in black robes said, that was not the case.
"You mean this?" Yun Xi raised her hand, showing the tall man in black robes the ring on her hand.
On her slender, jade-like fingers, a ring made of a special material emitted an eerie light.
"You... you really killed him?" The Tall Black Robe Man was incredulous. "Could it be that you're ranked number one on Blue Star's list?"
Only the first place, a level 20 warlock far surpassing everyone else, and a powerful individual with extraordinary encounters, could possibly unleash a spell attack exceeding 2,000 points.
The tall man was no longer as calm and composed as before. After learning Yun Xi's identity, he wanted to back down.
If he could unleash all the power of the Dark Curtain Treasure, he might be able to kill the number one on the list, but the problem is that he is not the one who has full control over the Dark Curtain Treasure.
He only has a sliver of control over the Dark Curtain Magic Treasure. At most, he can control a few small fireballs within a limited range and avoid attacks from the Dark Curtain Magic Treasure. He can't do anything more than that.
He knew the short guy well. Although the other guy had some flaws in his personality, he was more skilled at using the Dark Curtain Magic Treasure than him. Even he died at the hands of this guy who was ranked number one on the list... Needless to say, his fate was even worse.
With this in mind, he began to try to negotiate with Yun Xi.
"How about this, I'll tell you the whole truth, and you'll let me go? The value of the information I have behind me should be greater than my life, right?"
Besides, I can also apply to my superiors to suspend the use of the Dark Curtain Treasure. After all, if this continues, all those people hiding below Jing will die. My life is no match for the lives of the entire Jing family, is it?
Yun Xi understood his meaning. Putting aside the importance of the information this person was giving, the lives of ordinary people like Jing were indeed in the hands of the person behind the other party.
But this matter doesn't only concern her.
So Yun Xi turned her attention to Leader Jing, wanting him to make the decision.
Should we choose to release this person, obtain inside information, and save the lives of all the ordinary people in Jing, or should we choose to kill him and bear the risk that the Dark Curtain Treasure might continue to attack us?
The answer was obvious. The leader of Jing was looking at Yun Xi with pleading eyes. He hardly hesitated. His choice was the lives of tens of millions of people in Jing.
"Young friend, I'm counting on you."
