Thunder Strike
Although it was just a finger pointing at his throat, Meng Tian felt it was more terrifying than a sharp, poisoned dagger.
"You... you are..." Feeling the coldness from those fingers, Meng Tian stammered. He was a very quick-witted person.
Putting everything else aside, just considering the boy's speed, even Chang, couldn't match it. If that hadn't been a finger, but a sword or some other sharp object, he probably wouldn't have gotten his neck back.
None of the people around, regardless of their side, could clearly see Li Wei's actions. However, the man called Chang looked at Li Wei with a hint of apprehension.
"Kid, let Meng Tian go, and I can let you leave safely on your own!" Chang said, while secretly taking out a card behind his back.
It was an attack card he obtained by chance, called <Wraith Strike>, which could unleash more than 20 wraiths to attack the enemy, with a one-hit kill effect.
Of course, this card was also a life-saving trump card that he would only use in an emergency, because even with his B1 level strength, he couldn't see how the other party had just moved there, which made him feel a sense of danger.
Li Wei ignored Chang behind him completely, and instead moved his fingers, saying to Meng Tian, "Give me that Scent-Seeking Bee, and I'll spare your life!"
Meng Tian was filled with hatred, but he couldn't figure out what kind of killing move the young man in front of him had, so he dared not speak. Chang, on the other hand, angrily said, "Kid, don't push your luck. If you're so ungrateful, then you can stay here forever!"
After saying that, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly jumped up and threw a punch at Li Wei.
These Iron Fist are his primary killing move when facing an enemy. By consuming a large number of magic crystals, he gained the ability to strengthen his fists. Even the hardest steel would be reduced to a pile of deformed scrap metal under the impact of these Iron Fist.
Moreover, what would happen if it hit a person?
Feeling the strong wind coming from behind him, Li Wei smiled, not even looking, and flicked out a bolt of lightning with his backhand. With a crackling sound, the once arrogant and domineering Chang screamed and was sent flying backward.
After falling to the ground, he rolled backward for several meters. Under the attack of lightning, Chang's face was covered in black ash, and there were many burns on his body. Most of his hair had fallen out, and he looked extremely miserable.
"As expected of a B1 level, so tough and resilient, he didn't die!" Li Wei shook his head and sighed softly, seemingly very dissatisfied with the attack just now.
Little did he know that his casual lightning strike had caused immense horror among the surrounding adventurers.
To defeat a B1-level expert so easily—what level of skill would it take to do that? The one who felt this most deeply was undoubtedly Meng Tian.
He finally understood why the other party's mere finger could instill such fear in him. Just look at the lightning that the other party had used to knock down Chang; it had shot out from that finger. If the boy in front of him had used the same technique to strike his neck, Meng Tian didn't think he would still be alive.
Seeing Li Wei's eyes look at him again, Meng Tian readily took out the 'Scent-Seeking Bee' and revealed the method to control this magical creature. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the fingers pressing against his neck being removed.
At that moment, Meng Tian realized that, without realizing it, his back was covered in a layer of cold sweat, and a gust of wind made it feel chilly.
Li Wei put away the 'Scent-Seeking Bee' and turned to leave; he didn't want to waste any more time here.
But at that very moment, a sudden change occurred.
"Xiao Wang, since you're so powerful, then try this!" Chang, who had been knocked to the ground, got up and threw out a card with a ferocious expression.
With a 'bang', the card exploded, spewing out a cloud of black mist that transformed into dozens of black figures that hovered in mid-air, emitting terrifying screams.
"It's Wraith! Everyone be careful, don't let it touch you, or you'll be in trouble!" A worldly-wise adventurer quickly lay down on the ground.
The others were also horrified upon hearing this. Whether they were the adventurers who had been robbed or the adventurers who had been robbed, they all scattered and hid.
Li Wei, on the other hand, remained motionless, looking at the dozens of Wraith hovering in mid-air with a disdainful expression.
Wraith are indeed very troublesome monsters, but I wield the power of lightning, which makes me the nemesis of Wraith creatures, so I am naturally fearless.
Meng Tian, standing to the side, was also unsure whether to dodge or continue standing. Just then, Chang chanted a spell in the distance, and the Wraith hovering in the air rushed towards Li Wei as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
"Finger Thunder, fire!"
Forcing his true energy into his fingertips, Li Wei repeatedly pointed with both hands, sending out tiny bolts of lightning. Once the Wraith touched the Finger Thunder, they screamed and vanished into nothingness.
Before the twenty-odd Wraith even reached Li Wei, they were all Finger Thunder, turning into black smoke that filled the sky and vanished without a trace.
"Idiot, don't you know that lightning has the power to Purification all ghosts and monsters?" Li Wei let out a long breath. He had just released a series of Finger Thunder, which had left him with a shortage of true energy. Fortunately, there were only about twenty Wraith. If there had been more, it would have been troublesome.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Chang now held a murderous intent.
This person cannot be allowed to live!
The latter was already paralyzed with fear, sitting on the ground. This <Striking of the Wraith> was his trump card. The person who sold him the card had said that making such a card was extremely difficult, not only because the materials were hard to find, but also because it required a lot of effort.
Therefore, the attack effect of this <Wraith Strike> is quite outstanding.
Below rank B, they can be instantly killed. Above rank B, once entangled by Wraith, you will be exhausted. The Wraith spirit's attacks cannot be defended against by physical means. In other words, no matter how thick your armor and shield are, you cannot withstand the Wraith's attacks. It will burrow into your body, tear at your soul, and make you feel exhausted. High-level Wraith can even instantly age your body.
Imagine a young person who, after being attacked by Wraith, is transformed into an old person. In such a situation, even the most powerful person would likely be killed.
Such a powerful attack was so easily neutralized by the young man that Chang had lost the courage to continue fighting.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Li Wei stretched out his palm and took out the Thunder God's Sword.
Seeing that Chang did not react, Li Wei used his sword control technique, and the Thunder God's Sword in his hand struck out like lightning.
"Then die!"
With a snap, Thunder God's Sword pierced through the opponent's body, unleashing a surge of electricity. Even a B-rank opponent instantly turned into a charred corpse after being struck by Thunder God's Sword.
After killing his opponent, Li Wei did not put away the Thunder God. He first glanced at Meng Tian, then leaped onto the Thunder God's Sword, pointed with his sword technique, and disappeared in a ball of lightning.
Only then did Meng Tian finally let out a long breath and slump to the ground. He had decided that he would never do this robbery business again.
After flying for a while, Li Wei stopped.
Using the Li Wei 'Thunder God's Sword to fly also served to intimidate others. In addition, he had very few flying cards left, and after condensing his second inner core, his true energy had doubled, making sword flight more than enough for him.
The speed of the Thunder God's Sword was much faster than that of an ordinary flying sword, perhaps due to its lightning attribute. Li Wei looked around, then took out the 'Scent-Seeking Bee' and released it as Meng Tian had instructed.
The Scent-Seeking Bee flew directly into the distance, Li Wei also urged the Thunder God's Sword to follow.
Level 4 Illusion Realm, Dragonbone Plains.
This place is very spacious, and as far as the eye can see, there are only skeletons and rocks. The occasional strong winds blow and make a 'whooshing' sound when they pass over the giant skeletons that protrude from the ground, making it a relatively famous location in this Illusion Realm.
Ever since entering this Dragonbone Plains, Xue Yan had a vague feeling that something was amiss.
However, I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong.
"Aubrey, do you think the thief is really hiding in this plain?"
Xue Yan took out her water bottle, took a sip, but her eyes swept over the young man walking at the front of the group.
The man named Aubrey quickly turned around and said earnestly, "Captain Xue, don't worry, that person is indeed hiding here. Moreover, it's said that the Free City of the Level 4 Illusion Realm will also appear in this Dragonbone Plains!"
Xue Yan nodded and then said nothing more.
After walking a while longer, a figure appeared in the distance. Xue Yan and the others immediately perked up and gave chase.
"Captain Xue, I'll go scout ahead!" Aubrey said, then used Stealth to rush out.
In this squad led by Xue Yan, every member was trained by Xue Yan herself. Their skills included Stealth, assassination, and throwing hidden weapons. Of course, they were all ability users who had consumed magic crystals. Aubrey, for example, had consumed a very special 'dark' attribute magic crystal, which allowed him to maximize his Stealth abilities.
Most people leave a silhouette in the air after Stealth, but he completely vanished.
After waiting for a while, the figure in front of them remained motionless, and Aubrey did not return either.
"Something's weird!" Xue Yan thought to herself, and suddenly entered Stealth mode.
At the same time, a whooshing sound came, and the female team member closest to Xue Yan suddenly tilted her head and fell to the ground.
Her eyes widened in disbelief. An arrow was still lodged in her neck, having pierced through and killed the female team member instantly.
Immediately, the other team members realized they had been ambushed. The well-trained team members tried to use their abilities to escape, but it was too late.
Several more whooshing sounds rang out, and two team members fell to the ground dead without uttering a sound, each with several arrows lodged in their vital organs.
