93: How is that possible?

"Even if he's a Rank 50 Lord, he can't be this perverted, right?"

Hovering in mid-air, Lin Yue stabilized his figure and thought to himself in disbelief.

It wasn't that he hadn't fought Lord-grade enemies before, such as the Mountain Overlord of Demon Dragon Mountain or the Demon Dragon King of the Demon Dragon Instance Dungeon.

Those were all Lord-grade bosses, but none had ever put this much pressure on Lin Yue.

The ruins of the Four Divine Beasts were at a much higher level than a purgatory level Instance.

Lin Yue couldn't calculate exactly how high it was, but according to his estimates, the old man's Lord-grade status was definitely a fake.

At the very least, he was an Advanced Lord, or even possessed Overlord-grade strength.

Lin Yue continued to unleash Spell attacks frantically; as long as he had a moment to breathe, he wouldn't give up the chance to stack his health.

Moreover, he had just lost over two hundred thousand health and had to use Spell Lifesteal to suck it back.

He switched targets, aiming all his magic power output at the Clone.

Since the original body's damage was neutralized, the Clone surely couldn't be that strong.

Boom, boom, boom!

-8888!

-8888!

As expected.

Although the Clone's strength was formidable, there was still a gap between it and the old man's original body.

Removing the old man's staggering resistance, Lin Yue's thirty thousand magic power plus True Damage could still deal nearly nine thousand damage.

This was already quite good; at least he could lifesteal a significant amount back.

Otherwise, relying solely on the base recovery of one thousand points, it would take over twenty seconds to fully recover.

In less than two seconds, relying on the damage dealt to the Clone, Lin Yue quickly restored his health to full.

During this time, the old man's original body didn't move, instead quietly watching the battle between Lin Yue and the Clone with a look of admiration in his eyes.

He hadn't stretched his muscles in centuries, and this person sent from the outside world actually had some skill.

Finding the most advantageous way to fight immediately—based on this alone, the old man had begun to acknowledge Lin Yue's strength.

"Young Man, you're quite sturdy, but next, I won't be holding back."

Seeing Lin Yue restore his health to full, the old man spoke with a calm, unruffled expression.

In the next second, before Lin Yue could react, the old man's original body vanished from the spot.

"Where is he?"

As if he had seen a ghost, the hair on Lin Yue's body stood on end.

He was currently flying at a height of ten meters, using the advantage to relentlessly strike the old man's Clone.

But the old man's original body had disappeared as if he had never existed, causing alarm bells to ring in Lin Yue's brain.

Swoosh!

Faintly hearing the sound of air being torn, in an instant, the old man's original body suddenly Flashed into mid-air. With a gentle toss of a black sphere, it transformed into a black line, flying to Lin Yue's side in the blink of an eye.

Dodging and weaving, fortunately, Lin Yue's flying skills were becoming more and more proficient.

By a hair's breadth, the black sphere grazed Lin Yue's hair as it flew past.

Annihilation exploded in the distance, and the impact from the massive energy wave sent Lin Yue flying back a short distance.

In the air not far away, the entire spherical space within a ten-meter range was distorted and then annihilated like it was made of paper.

"Holy crap!"

His heart rate shot up to one hundred and eighty, and Lin Yue felt his mouth go dry.

The old man's black sphere attack could even distort the air; if it hit directly, he really would be annihilated.

"Again!"

Seeing that the strike failed, the old man's interest grew even more, his eyes full of excitement.

He hadn't had a satisfying battle in several hundred years.

Before his words even faded, he vanished again.

This was a technique of spatial movement; it was very difficult for Lin Yue to observe the old man's movements with just his naked eyes.

Chain Fireball!

The staff, Ryan, emitted flames. This time, while flying in the air, Lin Yue summoned the Fireball Spell but didn't attack the Clone. Instead, he used his Micro-control power to make them hover in the air, protecting himself.

In case Annihilation suddenly appeared from somewhere, Lin Yue could immediately control the Fireball Spell to deflect the opponent's attack trajectory.

"Good idea, but unfortunately, you're too late!"

An abrupt voice appeared. Just as Lin Yue was searching everywhere for the old man's original body, the old man appeared directly beneath him.

Two black spheres condensed again, one on the left and one on the right. This time they were even faster, not even aiming for the head but shooting straight toward Lin Yue's torso.

The old man was positioned directly below Lin Yue, with a distance of about eight meters between them.

The moment the black spheres turned into black lines, Lin Yue moved. As he shifted to the left in mid-air, four fireballs also whistled rapidly toward where the old man had appeared.

This was a detail Lin Yue had observed from the two waves of the old man's black sphere attacks.

At the moment the opponent attacked, there would be a brief moment of stiffness before he would escape into the Void Realm and disappear.

This stiffness was the window for Lin Yue's counterattack.

Swoosh, swoosh!

Dodging the two black sphere attacks, Lin Yue's fireballs also descended upon the old man's head.

"Genius, you really are a Genius, but..."

What the old man didn't expect was that Lin Yue had found his flaw in such a short time and even dared to counterattack.

A pity, his reactions were faster than Lin Yue imagined.

-miss!

-miss!

That's right, even with a 50% Accuracy bonus, Lin Yue's Fireball Spell was dodged by the old man.

The old man's original body escaped into the Void Realm once more.

At the same time, the old man's Clone moved. It began running rapidly from the ground and used the terrain to suddenly leap.

Eight Trigrams Wandering Dragon Palm!

Roar!

Leaping more than three meters into the air, the old man's Clone transformed its palms into dragons and unleashed an Eight Trigrams Wandering Dragon Palm at Lin Yue!

The golden Qi energy transformed into a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, flying toward Lin Yue amidst a roar.

He can do that too?

Lin Yue instinctively wanted to dodge, but this strike from the Clone had been planned for a long time, giving Lin Yue no time to react.

-55555!

-55555!

High damage numbers popped up from Lin Yue's head as he was struck hard in the chest by the golden Dragon. The powerful golden Qi energy forced Lin Yue to break through the ten-meter flight height limit, continuously knocking him back upward into the sky.

At this moment, Lin Yue tried to control his body, but the Purify cooldown wasn't up yet. Before this golden Dragon Qi energy dissipated, he had no way to escape the control.

At this very instant, the old man's original body appeared again. This time, a full five Annihilations were hovering around him.

Chain Fireball!

The moment the old man's original body appeared, Lin Yue seized the opportunity, firing off Fireball Spells at the opponent as if his life depended on it.

With a gentle flick of his finger, one Annihilation turned into a black stream of light, passing directly through the fireballs and whistling toward Lin Yue.

It pierced through four fireballs in a row before exploding with the fifth.

The massive flames and the air distorted together, and even the various Explosive Flames were swallowed whole, turning into nothingness.

Boom!

Before Lin Yue could adjust his position, the next Annihilation shot out instantly, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth simultaneously.

The four Annihilations blocked off Lin Yue's north, south, east, and west directions.

This strike was almost impossible to avoid.

And Lin Yue was still entangled by the golden Dragon Qi from the Eight Trigrams Wandering Dragon Palm.

Theoretically, these four Annihilations were guaranteed to hit!

The old man's original body showed a smile of victory, but in the next second, he was stunned.
