420: Chapter 420 Emily's Rescue

The knight jumped down from the rock wall and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Although he was surprised by Amivika's beauty, in a world where strength is respected, it was completely unworthy of mention.

Upon sensing that the opponent only possessed the cultivation of a Fifth-Order Wizard, the knight recalled some information regarding Yishi Mansion.

"A Fifth-Order Wizard comparable to a Sixth-Order..."

The knight muttered to himself, his expression gradually becoming grave.

The difficulty of challenging across tiers was unquestionable; in his entire life, he hadn't seen many who could fight across major ranks.

Of course, those like Nie Ning, who could cross two major ranks and tangle with a Sixth-Order, were even rarer.

And for a normal Transcendent to want to fight across ranks, they must master something special.

Either they master powerful skills and spells, possess extraordinary artifacts, or simply set traps.

Even then, the chance of failure was ridiculously high; most people's frontal combat ability was actually not strong.

Like Amivika, a Fifth-Order Wizard capable of facing a Sixth-Order head-on must have mastered the corresponding Artistic Conception, and one that was completely beyond the normal range.

Because after reaching the Sixth-Order, everyone had more or less comprehended some Artistic Conception, it was just that the levels varied.

"If you leave now, perhaps I can spare you."

Amivika placed Nie Ning down and said with a cold, sharp gaze.

It would be better not to fight if possible; after all, their time was limited, and leaving here quickly was the priority.

Otherwise, if Yishi Mansion couldn't hold out, there was no way she would stay here to be buried with it.

"We have the advantage now. Even if you are strong, so what? As long as we drag you down, you won't be able to escape either."

The knight said, reaching out to recall his long spear; the answer was self-evident.

This time they had made full preparations, and destroying Yishi Mansion was imperative.

Even if Amivika was strong, it wouldn't be that easy to kill him. Once his teammates arrived, it was uncertain who would live and who would die.

Amivika did not continue to persuade him.

Those with great strength mostly had firm minds and would not easily compromise unless they faced a desperate situation.

The knight's battle aura erupted, and he transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Amivika.

Seeing this, Amivika lightly waved her arm, and a cyan silk ribbon floated in the air, wrapping towards the knight. Wherever it passed, the surrounding buildings were all sliced open.

After all, he was a Sixth-Order Transcendent; the power he erupted with instantly was immensely strong, and everywhere his spear pointed was pierced through.

The cyan silk ribbon was broken, and the knight arrived not far from Amivika.

Amivika seemed to have expected this; as she raised her hand, a large number of cyan threads rose from the ground.

The cyan threads were exceptionally sharp.

The knight's battle aura was broken, and upon mere contact with his armor, scratches appeared all over it.

Sensing that things were bad, the knight stomped his feet and quickly shot up into the air, narrowly avoiding being strangled by the web formed by the cyan threads.

The knight looked down at Amivika, a trace of retreat rising in his heart.

The opponent's defense might not be as good as his, but this destructive power was truly startling.

To be able to achieve this level at the Fifth-Order, her grasp of Artistic Conception must have reached a terrifying stage.

But the knight found it strange; with such strong talent, why was she still a Fifth-Order?

With the foundation of Yishi Mansion, it should have been enough to accumulate up to the Seventh-Order.

Amivika did not give the knight too much time to think.

Since she had decided to act, she naturally would not show mercy.

As countless Wind Blades attacked the knight, the knight could only use the long spear in his hand to block, secretly looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

Soon, Amivika seemed to fall into a state of magic stagnation, and the frequency of her releasing Wind Blades weakened.

The knight erupted with battle aura, white light gathering on the tip of his spear. The moment he thrust it towards Amivika, a beam of white light broke through the Wind Blades in front and enveloped Amivika.

Magic power circulated around Amivika, forming a magic barrier in front of her.

Just as the knight guessed, the opponent was limited by her magic level, and there was a significant difference between her defensive power and her damage output.

After all, she lacked the Sixth-Order defensive spell imprint, but being able to withstand his attack was already quite extraordinary.

In just an instant, cracks appeared on the barrier.

The knight was delighted and quickly approached Amivika with his forward momentum.

As long as he could get close to Amivika, he had an eighty percent chance of taking her out directly!

But the moment the knight got close, he suddenly saw Amivika's unruffled expression and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth.

For the sake of safety, the knight gave up the attack and quickly retreated, avoiding falling into Amivika's trap.

"You really fell for it."

Amivika smiled slightly, picked up Nie Ning, and fled into the distance.

"Damn it!"

Even with the knight's professional cultivation, he couldn't help but curse.

Realizing he had been played, the knight's battle aura erupted as if it were worthless, and he turned into a streak of light, chasing after the fleeing Amivika.

Looking at Amivika in front, the knight's expression was extremely gloomy.

That was why he really, really hated wizards!

Because compared to the straightforward knights, wizards could be said to be all devious schemers.

And the various means they mastered were enough to support their scheming.

Even more so for higher-order wizards.

They always liked to play tricks behind your back, yet forced you to be on guard.

The things wizards mastered were mostly immensely powerful; if you didn't guard against them, you wouldn't even know how you died. That was why he was so easily fooled, because he couldn't tell what was real and what was fake.

In a short while, Amivika, carrying Nie Ning, arrived near the exit of the canyon.

Her Spiritual Power swept over the knight behind her, and a cold look flashed in Amivika's eyes.

Unappreciative!

Amivika suddenly stopped, her right hand forming a sword finger. As a green light flashed from her fingertips, a magic array instantly appeared beneath the knight.

In fact, she had arrived long ago; this was the magic array she had prepared in advance.

After all, she was only a Fifth-Order; wanting to suppress and kill a late-stage Sixth-Order knight alone was still a bit difficult.

Moreover, time was limited. She didn't have time to dawdle here, so setting up a high-power magic array was imperative, and it was also the fastest way to resolve the battle.

Although the knight had already sensed the problem, it was too late to retreat now.

A green beam of light rose from the ground, trapping the knight in the middle of the barrier.

The knight couldn't care about anything else and erupted with battle aura, attacking the barrier.

'Ding~'

The long spear collided with the barrier, emitting a crisp sound, and at the same time, a slightly white crack appeared on the barrier.

Having tested the strength of the barrier, the knight did not hesitate any longer, preparing to break the magic array in one go and escape.

But since Amivika had set up the magic array here, it naturally wouldn't be that easy for the person inside to escape.

Amivika used a gentle breeze to support Nie Ning's body, while she herself formed several magic seals.

The magic array on the ground was activated, and surging energy gathered beneath the magic array.
