"This won't do. I have to think of a way to get this guy down …" Serena looked at the figure floating in the sky, and her expression revealed some anxiety. "Aragon, I order you to think of a way to get out quickly!"
"I …" Aragon's face was dull, and his expression was uglier than crying. He thought to himself, Captain Serena, you think too highly of me. You want me to think of a way at this time, but what can I think of? Can I fly up to the sky and pull that fella down? I'm not an Archmage …
In fact, Serena herself knew that there was no other way at this time. They were two Legendary powerhouses. Apart from that reckless fella, who would dare to intervene in their battle? But the problem was that the reckless fella was the one who had saved her life. How could she watch him die? Serena knew that she could not do it …
"To hell with the Archmage!" Serena scolded fiercely, but she could not think of a feasible way.
The people of the Silver Hand were whispering, and the other mercenary corps were also discussing it. Almost everyone was guessing what this fella was doing in the sky. Some said that he wanted to help the Sword Sage of the Storm, but he did not do anything. Some said that he wanted to watch the show, but he was too close.
If he went up at this time, there would be no benefit other than being splashed with blood …
Among the people, only Hank and Elijah were the calmest.
They were the first to know Lin Li, and they had suffered the most fright. After tossing and turning a few times, they were already numb to it. They did not even think that something would happen to Lin Li. It was an almost instinctive reaction, just like how they ate when they were hungry or drank when they were thirsty. It was completely natural.
Lin Li was the focus of everyone's attention, but he did not move at all. He just floated in the air quietly, waiting for the fleeting opportunity.
The Sword Sage of the Storm had retreated to the edge of the Fire Plume Ridge, and was about to be forced into a hopeless situation.
This time, the Sword Sage of the Storm did not retreat anymore. He held his sword with both hands, and the silver flames surrounding his body surged. In an instant, the endless silver flames surged onto the sword. Under the surging silver flames, the three-foot-long sword actually expanded in an instant, and erected a silver fire wall that was at least 10 meters tall in front of him.
Boom! There was a loud bang, and the overwhelming silver flames swept across, emitting a destructive aura. Even Lin Li, who was in the sky, couldn't help but feel suffocated.
The bright red fire and the white sword aura stirred up a dream-like scene at the top of the Fire Plume Ridge in an instant. The two completely different colors, one cold and one hot, mixed together, were so gorgeous that it made people dizzy.
Amidst the overwhelming silver flames, a dot of light streaked across like a meteor.
Lin Li could clearly see that it was the sword in the hands of the Sword Sage of the Storm.
"Ang!"
What followed was a blood-curdling scream …
Even with the Salamander's incomparably strong body, it was finally unable to block the Sword Sage of the Storm's all-out attack. In its haste, it could only raise its tail and desperately protect its head and other vital parts. Following which, a silver light flashed and the Salamander's long tail was instantly chopped off by the Sword Sage of the Storm.
Bang!
After a long time, a muffled sound was heard …
The severed tail landed heavily on the ground, and in an instant, dark red blood flowed everywhere. It emitted a thick smell of blood, and even Lin Li, who was in the sky, couldn't help but frown. Shrill cries came one after another, almost spreading throughout the entire Fire Plume Ridge. Even the Fire Crows at the foot of the mountain were startled and flew away from the sky in flocks.
Under the stimulation of unprecedented pain, the ferocious head of the Salamander had already lifted up violently. Its pair of small eyes were filled with endless hatred. Its two sharp fangs were gleaming in the dazzling light of the fire. Its red tongue was spitting out continuously, and the hissing sound made everyone's scalp tingle uncontrollably.
"Sh * t!" Lin Li was in the sky, but he was extremely clear about the changes on the battlefield. Seeing the Salamander's red tongue spitting out, he knew that the situation was not good. That earth-shattering strike just now had almost exhausted all of the Sword Sage of the Storm's strength. If the Salamander were to launch an attack now, he would not have the slightest ability to resist.
As expected, just as Lin Li said "sh * t", the Salamander's sharp front claws had already left an afterimage …
"Hiss!" A tearing sound could be heard in the air, followed by a splatter of blood. At that moment, Lin Li even thought that Al 'Akir had been torn into two. The incomparably sharp claws dragged along his chest, and with a "chi la" sound, a long wound was opened up on the Sword Sage of the Storm's body …
Almost at the same time, a silver light shot out from the Sword Sage of the Storm's hand like a lightning bolt.
"Argh —" The Salamander's cry was even more shrill than before.
The Salamander's hideous head lifted up violently, and dark red blood spilled out from its right eye like rain. The sharp sword that was surrounded by silver flames was like a nail that was firmly nailed into the Salamander's right eye.
This bloody scene caused everyone to be dumbfounded …
No one would have thought that the battle between two Legendary powerhouses would be so bloody and tragic.
Lin Li, who was in the sky, was secretly impressed. The Sword Sage of the Storm was indeed the Sword Sage of the Storm. Under the situation where his strength was almost exhausted, he could still rely on a sword that he threw out to severely injure a powerhouse like the Salamander. Just this unexpected sword alone had pulled the originally tilted balance of victory back.
But to Lin Li, it was no longer important whether it was pulled back or not.
Because the opportunity that he had been waiting for was right in front of him!
First, one of its tails was chopped off, and then one of its eyes was pierced. Even though the Salamander was a legendary magical beast, it had finally fallen into madness. Its earth-shattering roar was filled with pain and hatred. Its hideous head was constantly hitting the ground, and that dull "bang bang bang" sound seemed to be ringing in everyone's hearts. The body that had lost its tail was twisting crazily, and the scales that were covered in mud and sand made people's scalps go numb.
The flames on the heavily injured Salamander's body had all dissipated, and those densely packed scales looked dull and lifeless. This was a sign that its strength was declining. Only when it suffered a fatal blow would the Salamander retract the raging flames on its body to prevent it from being injured by its own flames after its strength had declined.
But this retraction did not mean that it had truly disappeared. It was just that the Salamander had used its natural ability to control flames to hide them deep within its body.
And this was the opportunity that Lin Li had been waiting for …
"Brother of the Salamander, it's time for you to take your medicine!" As soon as the raging flames retracted, Lin Li took off the Robe of the Void that he was wearing. A robe that was worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins was wrapped up into a ball by him in a few moments, and held in his hand like a bag. Then, he increased the output of his mana, and his whole body dived down like an arrow that had left the bow …
"W-w-what … What is he doing?" This sudden action instantly gave Serena a shock. She watched as that fellow descended from the sky like a meteor. Without any deviation, he headed straight for the raging Saruman Snake. "What the hell, is he looking for death?"
"Oh my God …" Aragorn was dumbfounded. He could not understand that weird fella in the sky at all. Ever since he had shot Thuzadin at Blackhills Town, everything that this fella had done seemed to be beyond everyone's expectations. Today, it was even worse. Unimaginable things happened one after another. From a low-level warrior, he had transformed into an extremely powerful Archmage. Now, he had even taken off his robe and charged at the Salamander. This, this, this … What was going on? Could it be that he meant that it would be easier for the Salamander to eat if he took off his robe?
The hundreds of adventurers from the six great mercenary corps exclaimed at the same time.
No one, including Hank and Elijah, knew what this fella was trying to do. They could only watch as he swooped down from the sky like a huge bird.
"I wish you a good appetite!" Lin Li rode on the strong wind, and swept past the Salamander at lightning speed.
Just as the man and beast brushed past each other, the parcel in Lin Li's hand had already been thrown into the Salamander's mouth.
After doing all this, Lin Li did not stop. It was as if he was helping it digest. Before he left, he threw an icicle.
And the target of this icicle was the Salamander's blinded right eye …
If it was any other time, this icicle would not even be comparable to a mosquito to the Salamander. Perhaps before the icicle could even get close, it would have been melted by the raging fire. But now, it was seriously injured. The fire magical element in its body had been restrained. Although its body temperature was high, it was not enough to melt the icicle.
So this ordinary icicle had miraculously pierced into the Salamander's right eye …
"Argh …" A heart-wrenching scream spread far. Almost everyone could feel the Salamander's anger.
In fact, even the people from the six great mercenary corps felt pity for it.
This was probably the so-called 'a tiger that fell to the plains is bullied by a dog'. A legendary magical beast was hit in the right eye by a level-one spell. If this were to spread, the natural enemies of the Salamander would probably laugh themselves to death.
To the Salamander, whose intelligence was not inferior to that of humans, this humiliating action was like a slap to its face. An unprecedented anger filled its heart, even making it forget about the injuries on its body and the other human who had hurt it. In the midst of the overwhelming dust and smoke, the Salamander turned into a red bolt of lightning and pounced towards Lin Li in the sky …
Unfortunately, Lin Li was not Al 'Akir. He did not even think about going head to head with the Salamander.
The moment the Salamander pounced, Lin Li's mana was raised to the limit. With the support of his almost demonic mana, the Archmage-level Levitation Spell had almost reached the effect of the Flight Spell. In that instant, Lin Li's entire body was like a stream of light, and he instantly swept past the Salamander.
Then, everyone saw him landing beside the Sword Sage of the Storm with a smile.
"President, do you need help?"
