Chapter 742 The Importance of the Mysterious Altar (Two Chapters in One)
“Peng.”
A large ball of flame suddenly ignited in the smoke-filled area.
The purple skeleton sensed the psychic energy fluctuations erupting in the smoke, and the dancing flames in the dark eye sockets flickered.
“Phew.”
A blazing orange-red fireball with a diameter of two meters flew out of the smoke-filled area and hit the purple skeleton at high speed.
"Be careful, adults."
The tall green skeleton and the short green skeleton subconsciously exclaimed when they saw the fireball.
The purple skeleton reacted very quickly. It immediately dodged to the side and was more than ten meters away in an instant.
Then, the blazing orange fireball was not avoided.
"Huh?" The purple skeleton was slightly surprised when it found that the fireball turned a corner in mid-air and continued to chase towards itself.
Then, the purple skeleton stopped hiding and stood there, letting the blazing orange fireball hit itself.
"Boom..."
The fireball with a diameter of two meters exploded, the flames roared, the earth-shattering sound and the shock wave generated by the explosion spread around.
Some gray skeletons that were closer were affected by the explosion and were immediately blown away.
Black smoke billowed into the sky, and the blown rocks fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
"It hurts! If I hadn't blocked its fist just now and let it hit my chest, I would have suffered some injuries."
Lin Li walked out of the ruins , he said to himself while shaking his numb and aching arms.
After being knocked away just now, Lin Li fired back at the purple skull with a fireball.
Although he hit the opponent, Lin Li didn't think that he could kill the purple skeleton with a middle-level third-level cultivation with just one fireball.
"That guy was punched by an adult, but he didn't suffer serious injuries." The short green skeleton was very surprised when he saw that Lin Li's clothes were dirty after he was hit.
"When this human being fought against me, he didn't try his best!" The tall green skeleton, who had fought against Lin Li before, looked at Lin Li with bright eyes and thought to himself.
"Tap, step, step..."
Steady footsteps sounded, and a purple skeleton walked out of the center of the explosion filled with black smoke.
A pale golden light appeared on its body. It seemed that it had made sufficient defensive preparations to catch the fireball just now.
Lin Li patted the dust on his body and found that no matter how hard he patted, his clothes were still dirty. "After I get home, I have to take a shower immediately."
"Human, why have you not even thought about escaping now? No?" The purple skeleton did not attack Lin Li immediately, but asked in confusion.
Logically speaking, if anyone were to face a purple skeleton emitting mid-level third-stage psychic energy fluctuations, they should run away immediately.
As a result, so far, Lin Li showed no signs of escaping, and even launched a counterattack against the purple skeleton.
Such a unique reaction has never been encountered by the purple skeleton.
"I will naturally leave when it's time to leave. Nowadays, it's rare to encounter an opponent in the middle of the third level. It would be a pity to leave without making any gestures..." Lin Li replied with a smile.
"..." The purple skeleton was surprised and silent after hearing what Lin Li said.
In its view, Lin Li’s remarks were simply bizarre.
“This human being is about to die and still dares to say such things. Is he scared out of his mind?” The short green skeleton said to his companions.
"Looking at his current state, he doesn't look crazy..." the tall green skeleton said calmly.
"If you're not crazy, how dare you say such things in front of adults?" said the short green skeleton.
"Maybe...if my guess is correct, this human being dares to say such things, so he should have the means to escape." The tall green skeleton analyzed.
"Haha..." The short green skeleton sneered, "That human doesn't know that since you have decided to take action, no matter what escape methods you use, it will be useless."
"Yes! Any means of escape will not work in front of adults." The tall green skeleton nodded.
The purple skeleton looked at Lin Li in silence for a while, and then the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from him became surging again.
After all, the strength gap between the two sides was there. Although Lin Lili looked very relaxed on the surface, he was still a little nervous in his heart and was always wary of the other party.
What he said just now was not a lie. It was indeed the first time he encountered such an opponent. He wanted to compare himself with the opponent to see the gap between himself at the beginning of the third stage and the enemy at the middle stage of the third stage. How big.
"Human, if you surrender now, I can forgive you for all the offenses you have committed against me before." The purple skeleton said.
"You talk so much nonsense! If you want to take action, do it quickly." Lin Li said with a smile, then raised his left hand and snapped his fingers.
“Pa.”
A flash of light flashed between his fingers, and clusters of tiny orange-red flames shot out.
These seemingly fragile small flames expanded rapidly in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen huge burning fireballs with a diameter of two and a half meters appeared in front of Lin Li.
The heat wave spread to all directions, and the site immediately became extremely dry.
Compared with the fireballs that exploded previously, the power of the dozen or so fireballs Lin Li created this time was obviously more powerful.
"Although this human created so many fireballs at once, his spiritual energy fluctuations showed no signs of weakening at all. What's going on?" The short green skeleton discovered something was wrong.
"Under normal circumstances, if we use our abilities like this, the psychic fluctuations will definitely weaken, but the aura exuded by this human being is still very strong, something is indeed wrong." The tall green skeleton had similar doubts as his companions.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
This time Lin Li did not wait for the purple skeleton to take action and launched the attack first.
As he thought, huge fireballs floating in front of him immediately burst out.
The purple skeleton did not stand still and bear the fireball attack like before. He quickly dodged it.
Lin Li controlled the fireballs from the air to change direction, either to pursue or to surround them.
However, the purple skeleton is very fast and can always avoid fireballs at the critical moment.
"Tsk..."
"If I continue like this, my psychic energy will be consumed too much."
Lin Li controlled the fireball to attack the purple skeleton from the air, but nothing happened. If he could hit the opponent, he thought about it and then changed his battle plan.
The purple skeleton once again dodged the fireball attack, but suddenly found that the clinging fireball was no longer chasing him.
With rich combat experience, it immediately understood what was going on, so it reminded its subordinates in the distance.
"Get away..."
"Eh?!!!"
The tall green skeleton and the short green skeleton saw the fireball heading towards them. Flying over from the direction he was in, he was suddenly startled, and then ordered his men to evade quickly.
Although Lin Li couldn't hit the purple skeletons with his fireball, it was easy to attack the gray skeletons gathered together. "Click, click, click..."
The gray skeleton ran away in all directions, but the fireball came so fast that there was no time to avoid it.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
One after another, blazing fireballs with a diameter of two and a half meters fell on the skeleton army, causing an astonishing explosion that shook the earth. .
Black smoke billowed into the sky, and as far as the eye could see, there were gray skeletons scattered on the ground.
Lin Li's fireball attack brought extremely heavy losses to the Skeleton Legion.
"Bastard." The short green skeleton saw many of his men being wiped out, and the anger in his heart burst out uncontrollably.
"Calm down, remember that our first priority now is to protect the altar..." The tall green skeleton saw his companion looking like he was about to rush forward to attack Lin Li, and quickly spoke to persuade him.
The short green skeleton raised his foot angrily and stamped on the ground. The flat ground immediately cracked, and a shallow pit was created.
The location where the fireball exploded just now was very close to the altar. If some measures were not taken, the shock wave generated by the explosion would definitely hit the altar.
At this moment, two green skeletons with the first stage of third-level cultivation were raising their hands, palms facing outward, creating an energy barrier to block all the shock waves caused by the fireball explosion.
Lin Li turned his head when he heard the short green skeleton yelling angrily.
He was naturally not afraid of the other party's threat. When he saw two green skeletons with the third-stage initial cultivation level, they did not choose to escape, but stood in front of the altar to create an energy barrier, which gave him some confidence. Speculation.
“Pa.”
In order to verify his speculation, Lin Li raised his hand again and snapped his fingers, creating a fireball and throwing it towards the altar in the distance.
“Whoops.”
After the fireball flew out, Lin Li saw that the two green skeletons with the first stage of third-level cultivation standing in front of the altar still did not avoid it.
"Human, you are too arrogant."
A dull voice rang in his ears, and then, a purple skeleton instantly appeared in front of Lin Li.
Pale golden light bloomed in the center of the palm of the purple skeleton. The power of the palm it struck this time was much stronger than before.
Lin Li's face instantly became solemn. He did not dare to show any contempt, and immediately mobilized the spiritual energy in his Dantian to gather in his right hand, clenched his fingers into a fist, and hit the palm of the purple skull.
“Bang.”
The fist collided with the palm, and the air waves generated exploded in all directions.
The smoke and dust floating in the Zhou Dynasty were immediately blown away by the turbulent air waves.
The huge force was quickly transmitted back, Lin Li's right foot stepped on the ground, and there was a click, and the ground cracked.
"Boom..."
At this time, an extremely loud explosion sounded in the distance.
The huge fireball fired by Lin Li hit the energy barrier created by the tall green skeleton and the short green skeleton.
Same as before, in order to protect the altar, these two green skeletons with third-level initial cultivation did not choose to dodge when faced with attacks.
Lin Li jumped back and quickly distanced himself. After landing, he looked at the altar and muttered to himself, "It seems that the altar is very important to these guys..."
Purple Skull's patience had been worn out by Lin Li, and he said to Lin Li in a cold tone.
"Human, let me ask you one last time, surrender or die?"
Lin Li looked at the purple skeleton who tried to persuade him to surrender over and over again, and taunted him speechlessly. road.
“You are such a nagging person. If you think you can kill me, then go ahead and do it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the purple flames dancing in the dark eye sockets of the purple skull suddenly surged, and then an extremely terrifying purple beam shot out from the right eye socket.
“Phew.”
Lin Li, who was always vigilant, deflected to the left like a conditioned reflex the moment the purple beam of light was emitted.
The terrifying purple beam flew more than 20 centimeters in front of Lin Li and hit a house made of stones dozens of meters away.
“Boom.”
An explosion far more powerful than the fireball explosion suddenly occurred, and all the stone houses in a small area were reduced to rubble.
"The lethality of this purple beam is really huge! If it is hit without any precautions, even if I have the first stage of the third stage of cultivation, I will not be able to bear it." Lin Li looked at the ruins. Area, I thought to myself.
The Purple Skeleton had decided to kill Lin Li here, so he did not slow down his attack.
"Huh..."
A harsh whistling sound came from his ears. Lin Li knew that the purple skeleton was attacking again, so he jumped back quickly.
You attack and I dodge, Lin Li and the purple skeleton started a fierce confrontation in the square.
Explosions sounded from time to time, and the damaged area of the square expanded rapidly.
As for the buildings around the square, they were all reduced to ruins after Lin Li and the Purple Skeleton accelerated the pace of their battle.
"Why is this human so fast?" The short green skeleton saw Lin Li avoiding the purple skeleton's attacks again and again, and once again uttered a shocked voice to himself.
"The humans I met in the past who had the third-level initial level of cultivation were simply unable to reach such speeds without using their abilities." The tall green skeleton said.
Lin Li has taken the superpower fruit many times, and his physical fitness has been greatly improved, especially in terms of speed.
With his current speed, it is not easy for even a mid-level third-level practitioner to completely defeat him.
"Bang."
The two sides exchanged punches. The purple skeleton took a step back, and Lin Li took three or four steps back.
Although the purple skeleton cannot completely defeat Lin Li in terms of speed, in terms of strength, the purple skeleton has a greater advantage.
"Huh..."
After a fierce confrontation, Lin Li's dantian suffered a great loss of spiritual energy, but also a lot of physical strength. His aura now is not as orderly as it was at the beginning.
"It is more difficult than expected to remain undefeated against enemies in the middle of the third level." Lin Li muttered in his mind as he looked at the purple skeleton exuding a powerful aura.
"Tap, step, step..."
The purple skeleton stepped forward, slowly approaching Lin Li. The sound of the soles of its feet stepping on the ground, combined with the powerful aura exuding from its body, gave A feeling of breathless oppression.
"Crack..."
Just when Lin Li felt that he was almost done, he was about to retreat.
A strange sound suddenly came from the distance, making everyone present stunned for a moment.
