Chapter 545: Lifeline

After Yang Ling used the Teleportation Gate to leave far away, he turned his head around to take a glance at the boundless sea before he heaved a sigh of relief.

“The Sea Demon King is really the king of Sea Demons. As expected of a powerful High-Level Deity.”

Yang Ling used the Ground Protection Spell, as well as the Battle Soul Blade, to exchange two moves with the Sea Demon King. He didn’t just manage to destroy the Sea Demon King’s armor; he still left a deep wound on his chest. But despite this, Yang Ling knew clearly that if they fought with their real power, he wouldn’t be a match for the Sea Demon King for now.

It wasn’t an issue for him to deal with a Low-Level Deity or a Mid-Level Deity, but if he ran into a High-Level Deity, he would be in danger.

“I wonder whether I will be able to control the Battle Soul Blade freely once I advance into the Soul Wizard’s Mid-Stage?” Yang Ling stroked the Battle Soul Blade’s hilt and furrowed his brows. The Battle Soul Blade possessed great power, and even the careless Sea Demon King sustained injuries in its face. But, it consumed a large amount of Wizard Power and Mental Energy.

Even a solemn Soul Wizard could at most use just three blade strikes!

Yang Ling shook his head and sped up toward Meccans Island. The Sea Demon King’s God-Level Forbidden Spell was too terrifying, and its might was even greater in the sea. He had already left the Demon Island’s sea area far away, but he must quickly leave the ocean as a precaution.

Swoosh!

Yang Ling consumed a Magical Beast’s Blood Orb before he raised his flying speed. He streaked across the air and crossed innumerable unknown isles, as well as desolate sea areas. He traveled directly to Meccans Island. There was a Restriction Spell where he could temporarily take shelter there, and there was also a Teleportation Formation Spell leading to the other station. As long as he reached Meccans Island, he would be safe and sound.

Two or three thousand miles wasn’t a great distance to a God-Level Expert, and Yang Ling shortly managed to reach Meccans Island. When he saw the peaceful sea and the intact Teleportation Formation Spell, he heaved a sigh of relief. He rested on a reef near the sea and started observing his chest’s wound carefully.

The Hemostatic Powder made by Alice was quite effective, and the wound had already stopped bleeding and formed a scar. However, when Yang Ling stroked the scar that extended from his left shoulder to his belly’s right side, he still felt his scalp turning numb. The power of the Sea Demon King’s blade was too terrifying, and even the Ground Spell that was known for its great defensive power was destroyed by a single blade strike. The great harm the blade would have inflicted upon him if it hacked him directly was really unimaginable!

When Yang Ling just approached a reef and was about to sit on it, a strange sound suddenly transmitted from the vicinity, and the Wizard Pagoda’s symbol between his brows started throbbing intensely. Soon after, a scarlet light beam rushed out of the sky and quickly pounced at Yang Ling. “Hahaha, where you can still escape? Die!”

“The Sea Demon King?”

Yang Ling was shocked. He didn’t expect that the enemy overtook him, and he had even set an ambush here long ago. When Yang Ling discerned that he couldn’t dodge the attack, he pulled out his Battle Soul Blade hurriedly to block the enemy’s strong Ghost Head Blade.

Ding!

As a crisp sound echoed out, Yang Ling that gnashed his teeth blocked the Sea Demon King’s Ghost Head Blade, but the enemy’s clone suddenly appeared behind him before he could take a breather and thousands upon thousands of Wind Blades flew at him.

“Hahaha, die, die!” The Sea Demon King laughed loudly and pounced at Yang Ling. After the Sea Demon King’s understood Yang Ling’s intentions, he set up an ambush in the vicinity with meticulous care, and he suddenly attacked when Yang Ling’s guard was lax.

Sizzle!

The Wind Blades were quite swift, and they engulfed an area of several hundred feet. Yang Ling didn’t have any room for escape, and the blades-like Wind Blades instantly hacked his body before he could wear the Ice-Sealing Armor or use the Ground Protection Spell. In an instant, Yang Ling felt intense pain, and many fine wounds appeared on his body. It was fortunate that his body was quite staunch thanks to the Body Honing Wizard Mantra’s effects, and if an ordinary Low-Level Deity were in his place, he would have been torn into pieces.

Those Wind Blades possessed great power, and they were stronger than Elder Brent’s Wind Blades Wave by an unknown amount of time.

“Mt. Hua Splitting Strike, die.”

At this critical juncture, Yang Ling used a fake attack before he applied the Ground Protection Spell on himself, and as a swooshing sound echoed out, he teleported behind the Sea Demon King’s clone and thrust his blade at him. He wanted to kill this hateful clone, and he didn’t mind to take the Sea Demon King’s blade strike to do so.

Ah!

The Sea Demon King’s clone was obviously not like the main body, and it wasn’t adept at close-quarters combat. At this moment, it became flustered, and it raised its Magic Staff to block Yang Ling’s Battle Soul Blade. At this critical juncture, it managed to move its head out of the way and dodged Yang Ling’s deadly strike narrowly, but its left arm was still chopped off from the shoulder, and the clone let out a miserable shriek.

Meanwhile, Yang Ling’s Ground Protection Spell crumbled upon taking the blade strike of the Sea Demon King’s main body, and the blade hacked Yang Ling’s back, so fiercely that blood flowed out of it.

Yang Ling didn’t mind taking injuries, and he got the arm of the Sea Demon King’s clone in exchange for the wound he suffered.

Swoosh!

After Yang Ling let out a soft groan, he rolled around to dodge the Sea Demon King’s attack before he rushed toward Meccans Island. He had already used his blade two times in succession, and the Wizard Power, as well as the Mental Energy in his body, dropped to the lowest point. If he didn’t retreat hurriedly, the consequences would be too horrible to imagine.

“Ah! Damned b*stard!”

The Sea Demon King’s eyes were bloodshot, and he pursed Yang Ling like his shadow. His speed was higher than Yang Ling by a whole fold, and he still set up an ambush with the utmost care. He had assumed that he would manage to kill Yang Ling with a single strike, and didn’t expect that Yang Ling would manage to run away before chopping off his clone’s left arm. He was so infuriated by this that he flew into a rage!

The Sea Demon King killed many demons stronger than Yang Ling in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, but he still had never seen someone so thorny as Yang Ling. This guy was quite swift and adept at creating diversions. He was more sly than the Chaos Plane’s succubi and more ferocious than the Abyss Plane’s Fire Lord.

Sizzle!

Yang Ling managed to reach the island and hide in the Restriction Spell set up by him beforehand before the myriad Wind Blades reached him, but the Sea Demon King’s angry shout transmitted before him before he could heave a sigh of relief, and the Sea Demon King waved his blade in the air. As an explosion sound echoed out, a deep crevice appeared on the island, and the simple Restriction Spell on it disappeared. What was worse was that the Teleportation Formation Spell was also split in half by the Blade Beam and turned useless.

Awful!

Yang Ling turned his head around and left. He rushed toward an unknown isle several thousand miles from here. The Sea Demon King behind him, whose clone was injured, turned crazy, and his bloodthirsty eyes were bloodshot. Yang Ling didn’t want to risk his life against this lunatic.

“Damned b*stard, where can you escape?” Yang Ling was quite swift, but the Sea Demon King that was a High-Level Deity was swifter, and he managed to overtake Yang Ling in the twinkling of an eye.

“What a high speed!”

Yang Ling didn’t turn his head around, and he gnashed his teeth to consume the last wisp of Wizard Power in his body to teleport. As a swooshing sound echoed out, he appeared several hundred miles away from his former place, and he consumed some Magical Beasts’ Blood Orbs as well as several drops of the Life Spring’s water. He was trying to recover his exhausted Wizard Power and Mental Energy at the highest speed possible, but he still didn’t stop in his tracks, and he rushed toward the nearest Teleportation Formation Spell.

The berserk Sea Demon King could destroy the island’s and Restriction Spell and Teleportation Formation Spell with a single blade strike, and his terrifying power could be discerned from this. Simple Restriction Spells set up hurriedly wouldn’t be able to trap the Sea Demon King, and he wouldn’t manage to trap him unless he lured him into Wissen Castle’s large-scale Restriction Spell or....

As Yang Ling recalled the powerful Three Heads of Darkness, he got an idea. It would be better to lure the terrifying Sea Demon King into the Dark Association’s headquarters in Balark City rather than taking risks and luring him into his own domain. They could then join hands to dispose of the Sea Demon King and get rid of all troubles.

Roar!

An angry shout transmitted from the horizon and the crazy Sea Demon King pursued Yang Ling swiftly. He could use the evil “Blood Sacrifice” spell to instantly detect Yang Ling’s approximate location no matter how far Yang Ling escaped. At this moment, the Sea Demon King’s eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were gnashed. He wished badly to kill Yang Ling!

The great feud of his wife murder and his clan extermination, as well as inflicting serious injuries on his clone. Those were all matters that made the Sea Demon King hate Yang Ling bitterly.

“Ah! Die!” Even though the two people were still separated by a large distance, the crazy Sea Demon King still released Wind Blades that engulfed the land and the sky. He was trying to intercept Yang Ling!

“Old b*stard! If you are so powerful, then chase me, and let’s see who will kill whoever in the end,” Yang Ling spoke as he weaved Wizard Seals with his hands. He used small-scale teleportation to dodge the Sea Demon King’s sharp Wind Blades before he gritted his teeth to speed up again. He streaked across the air like a shooting star!

The larger the teleportation’s distance, the larger the amount of Wizard Power and Mental Energy consumed by the Five Elements Evasion Spells. This was why Yang Ling didn’t dare to use long-distance teleportation frequently unless it was absolutely crucial. He had only a few Magical Beast’s Blood Orbs, and Life Spring’s water left that he could use to replenish his power, and if he consumed them before escaping from the terrifying Sea Demon King or before leading the Sea Demon King into the Dark Association’s headquarters, the consequences would be too horrible to imagine.

There were numerous Magical Beasts in the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension, but only a few could pose a threat to an expert at the Sea Demon King’s level. Yang Ling didn’t want to summon them and use them as cannon fodder unless it was absolutely necessary. Even the Eighth Level Twin-legged Flying Dragon or the Ninth Level Dragon King probably couldn’t approach a dozen feet radius around the Sea Demon King, let alone low-level Magical Beasts such as the Horned Bee Beasts and the Vampire Bats, and it was even more impossible for them to break the Sea Demon King’s defense.

If the Corpse Wizard King and the others managed to comprehend the Mighty Beasts Domain, Yang Ling might still have been able to command numerous high-level Magical Beasts and fight against the Sea Demon King. But, it was a pity that the Wizard Spell was quite complex, and even though the talented Corpse Wizard King, beauty Sala got Yang Ling’s directions, they still couldn’t comprehend the Wizard Spell in a short time.

Swoosh!

The two people were streaking across the air, one behind the other, and they were as swift as lightning.

The Sea Demon King’s speed was higher by a tad, and he also had abundant Divine Power, as well as great endurance. But, Yang Ling grasped Teleportation Spells, and he could dodge the Sea Demon King’s deadly attacks at crucial junctures before pulling open the distance between them. He also had innumerable Magical Beast’s Blood Orbs and Spring Life’s water that he could use to replenish his energy.

In the way, some Sea Tribe’s members hunting down prey just felt that a blur flickered before their eyes before they lost sight of the two people. Some assumed that their vision turned blurry for a moment, while others assumed that they met accidentally two swift Sea Eagles. Only a few strong Sea Tribe’s warriors or Spellcasters were shaken and understood that they ran into 2 God-Level Experts with terrifying power.

“Hahaha! Old b*stard, take my blade!”

“Mt. Hua Splitting Strike, die!”

...

Sometimes, Yang Ling would use his powerful Teleportation Spell to instantly pull close the distance between him and the Sea Demon King, and at other times, he would instantly teleport to the Sea Demon King’s side to mount a sneak attack on him, while he still frequently ran in circles with the Sea Demon King.

The crazy Sea Demon King was so irritated by this that smoke came out of his seven orifices. He couldn’t overtake his target, not could he hit him, and he still suffered the enemy’s sneak-attack by mistake. He felt like he was an elephant trying to hit a mosquito, and he couldn’t use his power at all. He was so frustrated by this that he had almost spouted blood!

Yang Ling continued acting violently at the front in the same way, while the Sea Demon King in the back pursued him fiercely, and the distance between them and the Dark Association’s headquarters situated in Balark City was pulled closer.
