Destroyer's City (3)
Xue Yan naturally saw the bee.
She found it strange; these kinds of insects rarely approached her because the murderous aura emanating from her could make many creatures instinctively stay away from her.
However, this bee is clearly not an ordinary creature. Its appearance is very special; it doesn't have the ferocity of other bees, but rather a certain cuteness.
"Everyone, charge! Capture them alive!" Aubrey roared from afar, and the group of attackers prepared to swarm forward.
"Is it coming?" Xue Yan prepared for a final stand.
She had decided that if she were to fall into enemy hands, she would rather die.
At that moment, a bolt of lightning flashed.
With a crack, a bolt of lightning flashed, splitting the ground open and creating a fissure. The scattered lightning blasted dozens of craters into the surrounding ground, sending dust flying everywhere.
Everyone around was stunned.
What happened with that sudden lightning strike?
After the lightning struck, no one spoke for a moment; everyone silently watched the cloud of dust that had been kicked up.
When the dust settled, a person appeared there.
"Is anyone there?"
Aubrey had an excellent memory; the moment he saw the person who suddenly appeared, he recognized him immediately.
"Is it that boy from the teleportation array? How could it be him!"
Xue Yan shared the same idea.
The person who suddenly appeared was none other than Li Wei.
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he had arrived just in time. He could tell what had happened just by looking at the scene before him.
No matter how you look at it, Xue Yan's side suffered a huge loss. Moreover, among the opposing side, there was someone dressed similarly to Xue Yan. If Li Wei remembered correctly, he had seen him inside the teleportation array before.
"A trap set by an insider and outsiders? Humph!" Li Wei knew that his guess was pretty accurate. Fortunately, he had the 'Scent-Seeking Bee' to guide him, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Li Wei glanced at Xue Yan's side and smiled, revealing his row of white teeth.
"You..." Xue Yan was about to speak when she saw Li Wei extend a hand.
"Swallow, wait a moment. Let me deal with them first, then we'll talk!" Ignoring Xue Yan's astonished gaze, Li Wei waved his hand, and the Thunder God's Sword flew into the air as if it were alive.
"Swallow?" Xue Yan was stunned. There were only a handful of people in the world who dared to call her Swallow. Why would this young man call her that?
After glancing at the group of people opposite him, Li Wei immediately spotted the man named Aubrey.
"The traitor... let's start with you!" With that, he made a sword gesture with his fingers, and lightning crackled on the Thunder God's Sword as it shot towards his opponent.
Aubrey's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly turned to a B1-level expert nearby for help. The B1-level expert chuckled and said with a hint of arrogance, "Don't worry, I'm here. He can't hurt you!"
With that, the man shouted and rushed to Aubrey. A burst of azure energy erupted from his hands, and with a wave of his arms, he actually caught the incoming Thunder God.
This is his special skill.
'Fighting spirit!'
This is a skill that can condense into a form of fighting spirit on the surface of the palm. Masters can rely on this fighting spirit to resist swords, wind, rain, thunder, and fire.
In his view, using this battle aura to protect himself would definitely be enough to block that lightning sword, but he still underestimated Li Wei.
They also underestimated the power of Thunder God's Sword!
The instant his hand grasped the blade, a burst of lightning erupted from the point of contact. The B3 expert screamed in agony as his arms turned into a cloud of blood mist under the violent lightning element. Soon, his scream abruptly ceased.
The sword pierced his chest, but because of this, Aubrey, whose face was splattered with blood, was saved from death.
With a single move, he instantly killed a B1-level expert. Just who was this person? The crowd was immediately in an uproar.
The most surprised person was undoubtedly Xue Yan.
At this moment, she understood why the boy hadn't been afraid of her back then—it was because he possessed strength no less than her own. Now it seemed she had misjudged him.
Moreover, unlike himself, who was only skilled in assassination, this young man was completely focused on direct confrontation with the enemy.
"Where have I seen his technique of controlling a sword remotely before?" Xue Yan thought with some doubt. At this moment, the attackers also turned their attention to the suddenly appearing boy.
Aubrey's mood was in turmoil. The plan was almost successful, but then this unexpected obstacle appeared.
"This guy must be Xue Yan's accomplice! Everyone, attack together and kill this brat!" Aubrey said as he retreated hastily.
How could Li Wei let this culprit escape? He sneered and looked at Aubrey with a mocking gaze.
"I told you, it starts with you. If you dare to touch Swallow, you should be prepared to die!" With that, Li Wei flicked his hand, Thunder God's Sword, which was stuck in the corpse of the B1 expert, pierced through the body and continued to stab at Aubrey, who was retreating rapidly.
"Oops!"
Aubrey repeated his old trick, using the iron shield to protect himself, but Thunder God's Sword pierced through the once indestructible shield as easily as cutting tofu. Aubrey stared wide-eyed as the sword blade, made of lightning, sliced open his chest.
A spurt of blood mixed with internal organs gushed from his chest, and with a thud, the body collapsed to the ground.
Even in his dying moments, he couldn't understand why this iron shield, capable of protecting against powerful physical attacks, could be so easily breached.
Glancing at the corpse, Li Wei sneered, "Idiot, how could a sword blade made of lightning possibly withstand ordinary iron!"
In the blink of an eye, Li Wei killed two people in succession, each move fatal. The attackers were immediately terrified, and even the two B3-level experts began to back down.
"Lord, what should we do? This man is no ordinary person. I'm afraid our men can't stop him!" An adventurer said from a distance, standing beside Lord Wang.
Beside him, the Lord Wang who had spoken to Aubrey at the beginning stared at Li Wei in the distance with a frosty expression, wishing he could skin him alive.
"What are you afraid of? We have two B3-level and five B2-level members. I don't believe that kid can be that powerful. Go tell them that the reward will be doubled after it's done!"
"Yes, sir!"
The man was somewhat tempted after hearing this, but after careful consideration, he gave up the idea of personally participating. After all, although the reward was generous, losing his life for it would be a loss that did not outweigh the gain.
The order was quickly transmitted, and the attackers who were initially somewhat frightened were now enraged by the generous reward, howling as they charged towards Li Wei.
"Court death!"
Li Wei didn't bother with any more words. He targeted the two B3-level attackers and used the 'Purification' skill on the shorter one.
"This B3-level enemy should be good at speed. Killing him first will be to my advantage!" Li Wei made a judgment in a short time.
In fact, even for Li Wei, his chances of winning against two B3, five B2, and a dozen B1 attackers would not exceed 10%.
Even with Xue Yan added, they still have no advantage.
Fortunately, Li Wei possesses a number of special skills and is particularly adept at guerrilla warfare. Lightning attacks are also the fastest type of attack. Therefore, as long as he uses the right methods, he is not entirely without a chance of winning against these people.
Controlling the B3-level expert known for his speed was the first step in Li Wei's battle plan.
The 'Purification' skill was very useful. Under the sudden attack, the B3-level expert's body froze, clearly having been hit and slowed down.
"Oh no, Da You, come protect me!" This B3-level expert felt as if the air around him had frozen, his skin was stinging, and every step he took required a great deal of effort, which terrified him.
He had just witnessed Li Wei killing people, and if the other party were to launch an attack now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Da You was his brother, another B3 level officer. When the latter saw his brother trapped, he quickly turned around and stood in front of him to protect him.
Li Wei, however, raised his right hand, his palm crackling with electricity, and then struck out fiercely.
It was as if it had been struck in the air, producing a crackling sound.
Countless bolts of lightning, like a spider web, spread out from the point of contact between Li Wei's palm and the air, instantly enveloping the several B2-level attackers who rushed in.
"Oh no, everyone retreat!" Among the group were some wary people surnamed Gao, who were also terrified upon seeing this and wanted to escape the electric fence.
However, compared to the speed of lightning, human mobility is utterly insignificant.
Unsurprisingly, the five B2-level experts were encased in the electric grid. Li Wei swung his hand, and countless currents surged from within the grid, causing flashes of lightning and thunderous roars. In just a few breaths, the five B2-level experts were reduced to charred remains, utterly dead.
"Hiss!" Lord Wang, who was watching from a distance, gasped.
"What kind of ability is this? It's insane!"
The adventurer standing nearby was also sweating profusely. He was glad that he hadn't rashly joined the battle because of the reward; otherwise, with his B1-level combat strength, he would have been courting death.
"Lord Wang, what should we do now?"
The loss of five B2-level soldiers was crucial to this battle. Although he was somewhat unwilling, he knew very well that today's meticulously planned strategy might fail.
"Damn it, let's go!" Lord Wang was not one to hesitate; otherwise, he would have died several times over. The reason he had managed to reach his current position was inseparable from his caution and prudence.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and something slowly emerged from the ground a kilometer behind them.
At that moment, Lord Wang and the adventurer suddenly looked behind them, only to be stunned by what they saw.
