Chapter 535 - 533: An Old Acquaintance, Physically Speaking (Part 2)
He sensed that Saint Xi had lost her will to fight.
She had lost her courage, her will to fight.
Saint Xi could no longer fight.
Li Wei was also quite surprised. He didn’t know how Locks had managed it.
Saint Xi should have been immune to this kind of status effect.
Yet she had fallen for it, unable to pull herself out.
’I need to be careful,’ Li Wei thought, wary that he might fall for Locks’s strange tricks as well.
Locks glanced at the people surrounding Saint Xi and said, "You all, grab her."
"Erica, Punk, you’re with me. We’ll take care of him."
Hearing this, Li Wei subconsciously glanced at the person completely shrouded in a cloak.
The cloak was thrown back, revealing Erica’s face, which was covered with Magic Patterns.
The Magic Patterns were like centipedes, crawling across Erica’s face and neck.
Locks had subjected her to even deeper Biological Alchemy modifications.
Now, Erica’s power was even greater.
The last glimmer of light in Erica’s eyes was gone. They were now cold and merciless, like those of an intricate machine.
Punk was the man in official robes standing next to Locks.
He was the Jade Prince’s confidant.
A Tier Six Magic Prohibition Master.
Magic Prohibition Master, an exceedingly rare Extraordinary Profession.
Known as the Mage Slayer.
This was why Locks remained confident, even knowing how incredibly powerful Li Wei was.
Punk made his move. Two Arrays appeared in his palms.
He clapped his hands together, and the Arrays overlapped, rapidly expanding to cover the entire sky.
Wherever the Array passed, all Magic Elements fell silent.
The Fire Dragon Li Wei had created also dissipated with the wind, vanishing without a trace.
The Fire Elements that made up the Fire Dragon had been dispersed by Punk’s Magic Prohibition Array.
Li Wei’s eyes narrowed as he tried to command the surrounding Fire Elements.
But he found that the Fire Elements, usually so vibrant, were now as cold and solid as concrete, completely immovable.
He glanced at the strange Array that covered the sky.
’So this is what’s locking down the Magic Elements in the area?’
Li Wei looked at Punk with some surprise.
’He’s got some real skill.’
While Punk restricted Li Wei from casting Magic, Locks and Erica launched their attack.
BAM! BAM!
The two of them suddenly erupted with astonishing power and leaped up.
They attacked Li Wei from both sides in a pincer movement.
With the Magic Elements silenced, Li Wei couldn’t use Elemental Magic.
But that didn’t mean he had lost his ability to fight.
Li Wei used his Object Control Skill to fly higher, dodging Locks and Erica’s pincer attack.
Just as Locks and Erica were about to crash into each other, Locks suddenly spun one hundred and eighty degrees in mid-air, head down and feet up.
Erica crouched into a ball.
BAM!
Locks kicked out fiercely, and Erica shot toward Li Wei in the air like a rocket.
With their coordinated maneuver, Erica instantly closed the distance, appearing at Li Wei’s left.
Her hands turned into sharp claws, tearing at Li Wei’s body like blades.
SHRED! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
The sharp claws tore through the air, hitting Li Wei’s Invisible Armor Shield.
After shattering two layers of the Invisible Armor Shield, her claws lost their momentum.
Erica’s claws were deflected.
Just as she was about to attack again, a giant blue palm appeared above her head.
BAM! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
An oversized Mage’s Hand slammed down on Erica, driving her from mid-air toward the ground.
With no footing in the air, Erica couldn’t resist the immense Power from above.
She could only watch helplessly as she fell.
She attacked with all her might, trying to break the Mage’s Hand pressing down on her.
BAM!
Erica landed on the ground, and the Mage’s Hand exploded, turning into blue fragments that dissipated into the night sky.
Locks turned his head to glance at Punk, and the two exchanged a look.
After a brief, silent exchange, Locks charged Li Wei again.
Leaping up, he shot into the sky.
Li Wei looked at Punk, planning to deal with him first.
’Not being able to use Elemental Magic is a huge disadvantage.’
Li Wei flew up, dodged Locks, and flew towards Punk.
Suddenly, just as Locks was about to fall, the clothes on his back tore apart, and a pair of blood-red wings sprouted forth.
Locks’s eyes also turned into golden, vertical pupils.
He laughed sinisterly and charged towards Li Wei. "Li Wei, this body was tailor-made for you!"
WHOOSH!
Locks was incredibly fast, transforming into a streak of red-and-black Lightning as he chased Li Wei.
He flicked his left hand, and his arm transformed into a venomous snake, lunging at Li Wei.
Li Wei tried to dodge, but seeing he wouldn’t be fast enough, he prepared to block it with his Invisible Armor Shield.
Suddenly, he realized something was wrong.
He hesitated for a split second.
PFFT!
The venomous snake that was once Locks’s left arm actually pierced straight through the Invisible Armor Shield and appeared before him.
Li Wei’s right hand grabbed the snake’s neck, his eyes flashing with a golden glint.
His Giant Dragon vision allowed him to clearly see the incredibly fast snake.
The moment the snake pierced the Invisible Armor Shield, he grabbed it.
He hadn’t let Locks’s insidious move succeed.
Gripping the snake, Li Wei felt that it wasn’t real.
It felt like grasping a slippery, ice-cold gel.
It seemed as if it would slip out of his palm with even the slightest force.
This thing was obviously no longer a simple physical body.
HISS!
The venomous snake abruptly opened its cavernous mouth,
revealing two incomparably sharp fangs.
PFFT.
Two streams of venom shot out from the fangs, hitting the unprepared Li Wei.
SIZZLE!
The venom corroded the clothes on Li Wei’s chest.
A smug look appeared on Locks’s face. "You’re dead. This is a Netherworld Poisonous Serpent. No one can withstand its venom."
"Oh, is that so?"
Despite the unexpected attack, Li Wei’s expression remained calm.
Locks’s eyes narrowed, seeing that Li Wei’s chest was completely unharmed.
The Netherworld Poisonous Serpent’s deadly venom had only corroded his clothes.
The moment the venom hit Li Wei’s body, it was instantly evaporated by an incredibly high temperature.
He looked like an ordinary person, but in reality, he had already entered his Holy Flame Lord state.
Because of Punk’s Magic Prohibition Array,
the power of the Holy Flame could only burn within Li Wei’s body.
SIZZLE!
Locks felt a scorching pain.
Li Wei’s palm was like a red-hot branding iron.
The snake caught in his grasp gradually charred and carbonized.
CRACK!
With a tight squeeze, Li Wei crushed the snake into a cloud of dust.
Locks’s expression changed drastically.
"Damn it!"
Locks roared at Punk on the ground, "What are you waiting for!"
Punk calmly watched Li Wei, extended his right hand, and formed a sword-finger with his index and middle fingers.
He swiped vertically in front of him from top to bottom.
Instantly, Li Wei heard the sound of his Invisible Armor Shield shattering.
Punk had been waiting for an opportunity to break Li Wei’s defensive Shield.
Breaking Shields was a specialty of Magic Prohibition Masters.
"Hahaha, die!"
Seeing Li Wei’s Shield shatter, Locks laughed and threw a vicious punch at Li Wei’s head.
Now, he had no intention of showing mercy.
Even if he killed Li Wei, as long as part of the body remained,
he could bring Li Wei back to life.
BAM!
A look of astonishment appeared on Locks’s face.
His fist had been caught by a palm.
Locks stared at Li Wei in disbelief.
He knew his body possessed Power comparable to that of a Tier Six High Level Magic Beast.
Power was not this body’s specialty,
but it was still far beyond what any Mage should be able to withstand.
And yet, Li Wei had blocked it.
After Li Wei broke through to Tier Six, the Power he obtained from Saint Xi far exceeded what he had during his Tier Five period.
Furthermore, as Saint Xi’s strength increased, Li Wei’s Power also continued to increase.
Now, Li Wei’s physique had long since reached the Tier Six Peak level.
Even a Tier Six Peak Warrior might not match his Power.
Li Wei crushed Locks’s fist.
Locks’s face twisted—partly from excruciating pain, partly from sheer disbelief.
It wasn’t as simple as just crushing his fist.
White smoke rose from Locks’s right fist as astonishing heat transferred from Li Wei’s palm into Locks’s body,
burning his bones and flesh, making all the blood in his body boil.
Acrid smoke emitted from Locks’s entire body as he began to convulse violently.
In the end, his brain was burned to charcoal.
WHOOSH!
The corpse fell to the ground.
With a dull thud, Locks’s body shattered across the ground.
There was no blood; his flesh had already been turned to charcoal.
