After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 531: 400, Slo divided in half, the judgment of the Imperial Knights



Chapter 531: 400, Slo divided in half, the judgment of the Imperial Knights

“Wait, wait!”

A chilling wind of death blew, like a bucket of cold water poured over Slo’s overheated head.

Slo shivered violently and snapped back to clarity.

He finally realized what he had done.

Fear, regret, resentment… a mix of emotions surged in his chest.

Looking up at the twenty-meter-tall shadow of the pitch-black great sword, Slo’s face drained of all color.

...

“I surrender, I surrender!”

In a panic, Slo raised his hand, shouting, “I surrender, you can’t attack me anymore, otherwise it would be a violation of imperial laws! I’m going back to the city, yes… going back to the city, I need to heal up. This summer, I will join the Ice Abyss Training Camp, I am the pride of Red Heart City, none of you can touch me!”

Having said that, Slo took out a blue teleportation stone and frantically channeled his battle Qi into it.

He was actually trying to escape.

The crowd watched Slo in astonishment, this panicked giant bore none of the dignity he once had.

Lin Da, furious, laughed bitterly, “Thinking of leaving after using your ultimate skill? Take my move first!”

From the moment Slo released his ultimate skill, it was judged as a malicious attack, and Lin Da, the victim, could retaliate without any restrictions.

“Slo, it’s my turn now, defend well and don’t disgrace the honor of Eight-Star Adventurers.”

Lin Da swung his long sword.

A huge shadow of a flame blade fell with it.

Black as ink, a twenty-meter tall crescent-shaped sword light plowed the earth into a deep trench, like a magic dragon devouring everything, roaring as it flew toward Slo.

“No!”

The Black Flame swallowed Slo, and a piercing scream echoed across the plains.

The fire armor and life barrier on Slo’s body, fragile as tofu, were effortlessly destroyed by the sword light of Black Flame.

The sword light cut through Slo in the middle, cleaving him diagonally into two halves.

Thereafter, it continued flying for hundreds of meters. Any wild grass it passed turned into gray-white dust, creating a terrifying gash in the earth that only slowly dissipated.

Fry looked on blankly at the trench beneath his feet; he happened to be standing not far behind Slo, and when the Black Flame sword light sliced by, it missed taking him along by just ten centimeters.

He wasn’t sure if Lin Da had intentionally aimed the sword in his direction.

Fry was scared half to death.

Unstoppable, absolutely unstoppable!

This was no ordinary Star Rank technique!

Looking at Lin Da’s expressionless face, Fry’s throat turned dry, the bow and arrow he had been ready to use for a sneak attack felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, his trembling fingers completely devoid of strength.

Taking advantage of Lin Da’s distraction, Fry silently replaced the bow and arrow on his back.

At the same moment, in the viewing towers of both White Dove City and Red Heart City, over two hundred thousand people fell into a bizarre silence.

What was that pitch-black sword light?

Forget Star Rank, even Moon Rank Adventurers would need to reconsider whether they could withstand it.

The combat ability Lin Da displayed was nothing like that of a Star Rank!

In a dark private box at the top floor of the Red Heart City viewing tower, a pale-skinned middle-aged man gently swayed the high glass in his hand, the thick red liquid resembling fresh blood swirled, leaving a faint red layer on the glass walls.

“Lin Da…? Is he a member of Lia’s team?” he asked with interest.

“Um, father, Lia kicked him out half a year ago,” Dawen stated awkwardly, standing behind the man.

“…”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, frowning as he scrutinized the screen and noticed that Lin Da’s adventurer badge was indeed different from Lia’s pristine white goose.

Click!

The high-stemmed glass could not withstand the force in the man’s hand and shattered with a bang.

Tiny fragments fell to the floor, while the viscous liquid inside the glass magnetically clung to his palm, forming a smooth sphere.

After swallowing the blood-red orb, the man’s pale face eased slightly, and with a cold laugh, he looked towards Lia on the screen and sneered, “Trash is trash, can’t even retain a single team member!”

As soon as the insult was uttered, Lia in the screen sneezed, wiping her nose with the back of her hand, muttering to herself, “Who’s cursing me?”

What the audience didn’t know was that this live event was being watched not just by adventurers from White Dove City and Red Heart City, but also by personnel from the Constitutional Department of the Imperial Knights, who were supervising it.

The conflict involving dozens of Star-ranked adventurers was too critical for anyone to take lightly.

In the lobby of the White Dove City Law Enforcement Bureau, Yao and other team leaders stared solemnly at the screen.

It was replaying the scene where Slo used his Ultimate Skill to attack Lin Da and then Lin Da’s counterattack.

Yao’s heart leaped when he saw the fiery red giant axe phantom chopping towards Lin Da, and his own daughter Isa ran fearlessly toward Lin Da.

But then he saw Lin Da withstand Slo’s Ultimate Skill suffering only minor injuries, while his daughter and the blonde Mage were perfectly unharmed.

Only then did Yao breathe a sigh of relief.

After a good while, Yao realized something was amiss.

What was the deal with this adventurer Lin Da, and just how much had his defensive growth reached?

Upon leveling up, an adventurer’s baseline Ability value increases.

However, this increase isn’t fixed; for example, Heavy Armored Warriors gain more defensive power while Mages increase their Magic Power.

Even within the same profession, two people might not have the same increase in Ability values.

The extent of increase in Ability values is an important aspect of showing one’s “talent.”

And Lin Da’s talent in defensive abilities seemed to have reached a terrifying level.

Moreover, possessing healing abilities and the destructive power of the Black Flame…

Yao marveled internally, the discrepancy between adventurers could be greater than that between humans and dogs.

He raised his hand, addressing the Minister, “I believe Lin Da’s retaliation was self-defense.

The moment Slo used his Ultimate Skill on Lin Da, he was no longer protected by Imperial laws.

Lin Da was justified to fight back by any means.”

The Minister, a tall, bespectacled blonde middle-aged man, nodded faintly, “I agree. Lin Da, not guilty!”

Even Red Heart City, with its ironclad evidence, couldn’t falsely accuse Lin Da.

Slo’s launching an Ultimate Skill sneak attack in front of over two hundred thousand people certainly sealed his fate, a Light Rank Adventurer couldn’t save him either.

In the viewing building of White Dove City, everyone was staring intensely at the screen, seemingly stupefied.

The impact of the black sword light was too much for their minds to process immediately.

“Lin Da… is he really that strong?”

“I’m from the big city and have seen Nine Star Adventurers in action live; they weren’t this powerful!”

“Cough, I’ve previously spent some time at the renowned Ice Abyss Training Camp and met quite a few Nine Star Adventurers. No more than three of them could match Lin Da.

But those three were purely combat-focused adventurers.

Personally, I think if Lin Da were a Nine Star, he would definitely rank first among Nine Star Adventurers.”

The statement from a bearded man drew everyone’s attention.

He was robust, with a deep aura of Battle Qi.

Upon inquiry, it was learned that the bearded man, named Saine, was a Moon Rank Adventurer from Great Sky City.

In his youth, he had spent three months at the Ice Abyss Training Camp.
