One-on-One? I Accept
This sudden turn of events surprised everyone.
Only after the light faded did the group of reincarnators realize what had just happened.
A person appeared between Lin Kun and Seventy-Two. It was this person who used a special ability to remove the Weakness Curse from Lin Kun. Upon seeing this person's appearance, Lin Kun's expression changed several times in an instant.
"Daoist... Daoist, what are you doing?" This time, his unchanging gloomy face finally changed color.
The Daoist in the gray robe glanced at Li Wei, who remained silent to the side, and then smiled at Lin Kun, saying, "The young friend you're dealing with is my friend. Let's let this go today for my sake!"
Just one sentence, yet it stirred up a thousand waves.
The Daoist was a figure of immense stature, standing at the very top of the pyramid among all reincarnators. Moreover, there was no known instance of him having a close relationship with any reincarnator to the point of standing up for them. Yet today, this legendary figure was actually taking action for someone. In an instant, everyone turned to look with curiosity.
"You want me to let it go? You just heard it yourself, this kid admitted to killing my brother. Are you still willing to stand up for him?" Lin Kun asked, unwilling to give up.
"Yes!" The Daoist nodded, his hands behind his back.
After a long while, Lin Kun finally let out a long breath, staring at Li Wei with eyes that seemed to want to devour him, and said hatefully, "Kid, you're lucky today. Since the Daoist has stepped in, I have no choice but to give him face. But remember, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. If you're still a man, don't keep cowering behind others, hmph!"
As he spoke, he recalled the bone spear.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding reincarnators knew that a fight was unlikely. At the same time, their respect for the Daoist rose even further. With just a few simple words, he had made Lin Kun, who wouldn't even give face to an A1-level expert like Seventy-Two, abandon his revenge. How could he have done that without extraordinary strength?
"This kid is really lucky; the Daoist actually stood up for him!" one of the reincarnators whispered to his companion.
"However, Lin Sheng is not wrong. No one can be lucky all their life. If we meet again alone, I'm afraid..." Although he didn't finish his sentence, the meaning of this reincarnator was self-evident.
Everyone was praising Li Wei's good luck, except for one person who stared at Li Wei with a meaningful smile.
This person was another legendary figure, the Great Wizard.
"The name is the same as that person's. I wonder if the surname is the same too?" The great wizard rubbed his Bone Jade Staff, staring intently at the figure.
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Li Wei stepped forward and said something that shocked everyone.
"Daoist, thank you, but this man is right. You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. Let's settle this score today." Li Wei walked past the Seventy-Two dumbfounded men, then patted them hard on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Good brother, let's drink and chat again later!"
As they passed the Daoist, the latter looked Li Wei up and down again, stroked his now-grown beard, and chuckled, "Just as I thought! It's truly amazing! Hehehe, well, young friend, you've never been one to suffer losses, so it's best to eliminate any potential danger sooner rather than later. We'll catch up again in a bit!"
Li Wei was taken aback.
Judging from the Daoist's expression, he seemed to have recognized him. Indeed, this Daoist's abilities were extraordinary.
"Then it's a deal!" Li Wei said, walking straight towards Lin Kun.
Li Wei's willingness to step forward surprised and delighted Lin Kun. Regardless of the circumstances, even if he killed the boy now, the Daoist Daoist probably wouldn't have anything to say, since the boy had willingly come out to his death.
As for Seventy-Two, Lin Kun was 70% confident of defeating him, so he was not a threat.
"Boy, you're asking for death!" Lin Kun sneered and shouted, "Since you've come out of retirement, you're not so bad after all. You killed my own brother, this is an irreconcilable feud. Today, don't say I'm bullying you, let's have a one-on-one duel, life or death is up to fate, how about it?"
Lin Kun stared at Li Wei, afraid that the other party would refuse.
"One-on-one? Heh heh, you just want a one-on-one fight? Fine, I accept, one-on-one, life or death is up to fate!" How could Li Wei be afraid of him?
Because of the unforgettable experience he had in the past, Li Wei had no mercy for his enemies. Rather than letting them grow stronger and seek revenge on him or his family, he preferred to nip the danger in the bud.
This Lin Kun must be killed today!
"Alright, everyone here today will bear witness for me, Daoist. Your young friend has voluntarily chosen to duel with me. You've heard it yourself: life and death are determined by fate, success and failure by heaven. Whatever the outcome, you must not hold grudges. What do you say?" In the end, Lin Kun was still somewhat afraid of the Daoist, which is why he spoke up to remind him.
"Haha, don't worry, I won't pursue who lives or dies!" The Daoist was also carefree. He knew that if this Li Wei was really the old friend from before, dealing with Lin Kun shouldn't be a problem.
Soon, the Reincarnators cleared a space for the two of them. Li Wei and Lin Kun entered the space, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.
"Boy, no matter why you killed my brother, today is your death day!" Lin Kun grinned maliciously, then took out his Yellow Paper, chanted an incantation, and a burst of black smoke appeared, along with several coffins that materialized on the ground.
With a wave of his hand, the coffin lid flew open, revealing the scene inside.
Several coffins were crammed with corpses, more than a dozen in total. Seeing this, Seventy-Two shouted from a distance, "Be careful! Lin Kun can summon corpses; these corpses are his weapons!"
Li Wei nodded, but didn't seem to care at all.
How could someone at A1 level possibly defeat someone at the peak of A2 level?
Lin Kun glared fiercely at Li Wei and chanted an incantation. "Skeleton Summoning, activate!"
Suddenly, the corpses cracked open, and skeletons, still covered in flesh and blood, emerged from the coffins, staring menacingly at Li Wei, each clutching a weapon.
"Now, prepare to experience the terror of Undead Necromancer!" Lin Kun's hand gestures changed, and with a wave of his small Magic Wand, he continued casting necromancy, "Weakness Curse!"
It seems that even though he was confident of victory, he didn't hesitate at all when he struck. This is the quality of an A-level expert. If he had shown even the slightest bit of mercy, he wouldn't have survived until now.
Not only that, he also summoned a 'bone spear' and aimed it at Li Wei.
The first effect to take hold is the 'Weakness Curse'. As before, the red light particles fill a five-meter radius around Li Wei, and anyone within this curse's range will be affected.
Then came more than a dozen skeletons, these monsters creaking and groaning as they strode over, their presence terrifying. Ordinary people, weakened by the curse, would have no way to deal with these skeletons.
After all, if you are weaker, your opponent will be stronger!
Li Wei, however, simply smiled.
"Want to compete in summoning? I can do that too!" Li Wei's former skills have been restored under the intervention of the Main God. In addition to skills such as Stacking and Shifting Forms and Changing Positions, Li Wei's skill of 'Summon Holy Beast' has also been restored.
Li Wei took out the talismans that had been stored in his storage space for over a year. With a flick of his wrist, the talismans scattered and then gathered together.
'Roar!'
After a loud roar, a huge red mythical beast, 6 meters long and over 2 meters tall, appeared before everyone's eyes.
As soon as the divine beast appeared, the dozen or so skeletons paused for a moment, and then, under Lin Kun's control, charged forward, brandishing their weapons.
However, skeletons and mythical beasts are simply not on the same level.
Taking a deep breath, the divine beast stood on its hind legs, its chest swelled, and then it suddenly spewed out a burst of blazing flames.
Before the dozen or so skeletons could even get close, they were engulfed by the flames. When the flames subsided, not a single skeleton remained standing.
'Hiss!'
Lin Sheng gasped; the opponent's summoning skill was clearly much more advanced than his own.
Since skeletons won't work, let's use higher-level summoned monsters.
"Clay Giant, rise!" Under the Undead, the lifeless stones and soil gathered together and became a giant over 2 meters tall.
However, three seconds later, the earth giant was also reduced to scorched earth under the intense heat of the divine beast.
Lin Sheng stared wide-eyed, panting heavily.
The necromancer is the leader of the summoning sect, how could he possibly lose to this kid in front of him?
"Flesh Giant, rise!" With another necromancy spell, a gigantic monster covered in flesh and blood suddenly emerged from the ground.
The flesh giant possesses the special ability to attack and suck blood, making it quite troublesome, but the legendary beast will not give it a chance to get close.
Another burst of flames, and the flesh giant was completely transformed into a large piece of roasted meat, steaming hot.
"Iron Maiden, rise!"
Lin Sheng then took out another set of armor from his storage space, threw it on the ground, and then pointed his wand at the Magic Wand while chanting a spell.
With a hum, a series of teeth-grinding metallic twisting sounds rang out, and the armor rapidly deformed as if it were molten iron. Then, a humanoid monster stood up from the metal.
Li Wei raised an eyebrow. These Iron Maiden were exactly the same as those he had seen before. They were B2-level monsters with astonishing attack and defense capabilities. He just hadn't expected that they were actually created by a necromancer.
This time, the divine beast's fire attack was ineffective; the Iron Maiden moved incredibly fast, dodging the fire attack every time.
"Finger Thunder!" Li Wei pointed his finger, and a bolt of lightning shot out, striking the rapidly moving Iron Maiden. No matter how fast it was, it couldn't outrun lightning.
Before the paralyzing effect of the electric current had worn off, the Iron Maiden was slapped into a pile of metal fragments by the divine beast, completely turning into a lifeless mess.
