Chapter 1727: I Don’t Have Time for You
The dense thorns intertwined, wrapping around each other to form giant ropes, their strength reaching a new level.
"It’s useless, no matter how many times you try, it won’t work.
Such moves can’t possibly work against me."
Scorching black magic power surged from Lux’s body. He spun around, facing the thorns, intending to rudely crash through them, creating a large opening to charge towards Yongfang Chunlan.
"Whether it works or not, it’s not up to you alone to decide."
Yang Yu’s voice sounded like a phantom next to Lux’s ear.
Unnoticed, Yang Yu appeared in front of Lux, blocking his path.
With a glare at Lux, Yang Yu once again activated his skill:
"[Taunt]"
Lux’s body involuntarily slashed towards Yang Yu again.
He raised his shield, the sharp red spurs neatly arranged. Lux’s Holy Sword struck Yang Yu’s shield, sending black-gold sparks flying, with a red current coursing along Lux’s arm, penetrating his heart, causing a counterattack injury.
A ton of thorns surged in and instantly engulfed both Yang Yu and Lux.
The thorns created by Yang Yu were composed of magic power, shriveling and burning fiercely upon touching Lux’s body, transforming back into magic power.
The same as before.
Yet, Yang Yu’s thorns showed no sign of stopping.
With a constant infusion of Yang Yu’s magic power, the purple thorns surged towards Lux like gushing springs.
Even though Lux’s black magic power could burn the thorns created by Yang Yu, dealing with such a great quantity of thorns at once required a significant amount of time.
The dense thorns blotted out the sky. Under the cover of countless thorns, Yang Yu’s sword blade repeatedly struck Lux, forcing him back.
Lux quickly thought of how to break through Yang Yu’s obstruction while trying to find a way to contact Yongfang Chunlan.
However, just as he established contact with Yongfang Chunlan, Bai Jin and the others’ attacks had already begun.
Through the surveillance magic she set up, Yongfang Chunlan witnessed the entire earlier battle, greatly surprised that Lux had been forced to such a situation by Yang Yu and his companions, being pushed back step by step.
Defeating demons, Yang Yu and the others proved they had extraordinary strength.
Perhaps they could indeed deal with Lux.
Yongfang Chunlan couldn’t, like Yang Yu and his companions, see others’ status panels. Her judgment of the battle was mostly based on her past experience.
Yongfang Chunlan didn’t know how much time Lux would need to fully control the power inherited from the Demon King.
Perhaps Yang Yu and his companions were in such a hurry, precisely because Lux hadn’t fully adapted to the Demon King’s power yet, wanting to decide the outcome at this point in time.
The other side was outnumbered and preparing thoroughly to deal with the Demon King, she absolutely couldn’t sit back and let them succeed.
Thinking she might be able to resolve the crisis for Lux, Yongfang Chunlan accelerated, crossing the sky.
She was completely unaware that she had already fallen into the trap set by Yang Yu and the others, and she was their true target.
Yang Yu and his companions hadn’t actually grasped an advantage; they went to great lengths to push Lux into a "predicament," just to lure her, by worrying about Lux’s safety, to appear before them!
Gao Yuanyi was the first to appear in Yongfang Chunlan’s line of sight, each small metal ball flapping its wings vigorously, hovering beside Lux.
"Trying to block me?
I don’t have time to play games with you!"
Raising her Zen Stick, ancient texts wove ancient magic, forming a circle around Yongfang Chunlan, building a solid shield magic for her.
Yongfang Chunlan resembled a comet with a purple tail, streaking across the sky.
Gao Yuanyi pointed forward, and each metal ball flew towards Yongfang Chunlan, launching strikes.
The magic power contained within these metal balls wasn’t Gao Yuanyi’s, but Li Yan and the others’.
Such attacks wouldn’t trigger the Green-faced Ghost King’s effect, allowing Gao Yuanyi to firmly control his damage.
When Yongfang Chunlan opened the Abyss Gate to summon demons, she consumed a lot; before arriving here, she battled with Black Diamond Lorne, and although she used Potions to adjust along the way, she hadn’t recovered to her best state.
"If we’re going to execute this plan, then let go entirely."
— This Yang Yu instructed, and Gao Yuanyi wouldn’t be polite.
The metal balls hit Yongfang Chunlan relentlessly with Bams, causing terrifying explosions and releasing a large amount of dust.
Fine cracks appeared on Yongfang Chunlan’s shield, but there were no signs of collapse. The ancient magic she weaved from ancient text far surpassed ordinary shield magic in strength.
Emerging from the dust, Yongfang Chunlan remained vigilant.
Gao Yuanyi’s figure suddenly vanished from her sight, going somewhere unknown.
The next second, an illusory ghost shadow appeared beside Yongfang Chunlan, a huge mechanical arm roaring, smashing the shield she was in.
Using [High-speed Circuit], Yongfang Chunlan’s speed suddenly increased, dodging Gao Yuanyi’s surprise attack, then used displacement magic to create distance from Gao Yuanyi.
Swinging her Zen Stick, a circular magic array formed above Yongfang Chunlan’s head, spinning and spewing out a large quantity of pure white snowflakes.
In an instant, the sky seemed to accumulate countless white fog, a vast expanse of white.
Yongfang Chunlan hid within the circular array’s gap, unaffected by the Ice Magic. She didn’t become complacent because her attack engulfed Gao Yuanyi; there was a vague, inexplicable unease in her heart, but she still decided to drive straight toward Lux’s direction.
When Lux needed her, she would never hide behind alone.
Unfortunately, just as she approached Lux’s direction, before she could figure out how to help Lux, Lux sent a telepathy:
"Don’t come!
Run as far as you can!
I can handle it alone. Their target is you!"
Lux was concise; upon hearing this, Yongfang Chunlan was first surprised, then suspicious, doubting this was Yang Yu and his companions’ interference to prevent her from joining the battle. But in the end, Yongfang Chunlan chose to change direction.
Because Yongfang Chunlan noticed Bai Jin and the others approaching aggressively, holding magic that was difficult to assess.
Lux must have discovered something amiss, which is why he told her to leave, to avoid her becoming a burden in the battle.
Too bad, during that brief moment of hesitation, Yongfang Chunlan missed the best chance to escape.
In the sky, Tico, Li Yan, and Bai Jin divided into three routes, flying towards Yongfang Chunlan, surrounding her from three sides.
