Ox Talisman, power amplification.
A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.
Gan's neck was snapped in an instant, and his entire body turned into a wisp of blue smoke, dissipating into the air.
Inside the main hall, deathly silence returned once more.
Lin Ci slowly descended from mid-air, his feet landing on the cold stone bricks without making a sound.
He looked at Dao Long, whose face was ashen, and his smile grew even colder.
"Now, you're the only one left."
Chapter 23 What a little glutton!
Dao Long's wrinkled old face turned completely gloomy.
Three powerful dark assassins, magical creations he was so proud of.
In just a few breaths, they were all wiped out by the young man in front of them as easily as crushing ants.
He didn't even react.
The air inside the castle hall seemed to freeze at that moment.
The flickering candlelight cast long shadows, making Daolong's figure appear even more lonely.
An unprecedented sense of crisis, like a cold, venomous snake, coiled around his heart.
"It seems I was too late."
Daolong's hoarse voice echoed in the hall, carrying a hint of barely perceptible regret.
He could feel that the power of the twelve talismans had completely merged with the young man in front of him.
The next second, however, his expression turned into a sinister grin.
"How dare you be so arrogant? Don't you know whose territory this is!"
Daolong suddenly raised his wand high, and the tip of the wand suddenly lit up, emitting an evil light.
He began to mutter incantations, each syllable seemingly carrying an ancient and twisted power.
"The front wheel doesn't turn, but the back wheel does!" (Just kidding, it's not true.)
A massive magical power began to gather around him, causing the stone bricks of the entire hall to tremble slightly.
Lin Ci possesses a dog talisman, granting him immortality.
But he had no interest in standing still and taking the opponent's ultimate move head-on.
Lin Ci's figure left a faint afterimage in the same spot.
A soft sound, like the tearing of cloth, seemed to echo in the air.
In the next instant, he appeared before Daolong like a ghost.
The magic wand, imbued with terrifying magical power, was less than half an inch from the tip of his nose.
Dao Long's cloudy pupils suddenly contracted to their maximum size.
His incantation abruptly ended.
A cold hand, like an iron clamp, gripped his dry throat tightly.
A playful smile played on Lin Ci's face.
"You really think you're invincible when you're casting a spell?!"
Daolong's neck was easily lifted by that hand, and his feet left the ground powerlessly.
He struggled violently, making a "hoarse" sound in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word.
With the power of the Ox Talisman, Lin Ci's arm remained as steady as a mountain.
All of Daolong's resistance seemed so pale and powerless.
Lin Ci lifted him into the air with one hand, and with the other hand facing the ground, gently uttered two words.
Without warning, the stone brick ground beneath Daolong's feet turned into quicksand, and a dark pit appeared out of thin air.
Lin Ci released his hand.
Daolong's body fell heavily, plunging straight into the bottomless pit.
The pit quickly closed up.
Only its head was visible, its face covered in dust and filled with horror.
Lin Ci walked up to him, squatted down, and wore a kind smile on her face.
"You just like burying people in the ground, don't you? Try it yourself and see how it feels."
"Cough...cough cough!"
Dao Long coughed violently, spitting out mouthfuls of mud and sand, his old face turning red from lack of oxygen.
"What exactly do you want! Kill me or torture me, just give me a quick death!"
Lin Ci held up one finger and shook it.
"I just wanted to talk to you, why are you so angry?"
Daolong's chest heaved violently; he was practically bursting with rage.
"You call this communication?!"
The smile on Lin Ci's face slowly faded, replaced by a calm expression.
"Okay, no kidding."
"I need you to connect to the Shadow Kingdom and use the spell to summon the Shadow Legion."
Upon hearing this, Dao Long's anger froze instantly, transforming into utter shock.
How did you know I had that spell?
After the Holy Lord's death, Daolong plotted to seize all of the demon's power for himself.
In addition to the twelve talismans, it also includes the Shadow Legion that Shendu once controlled.
He had spent a great deal of effort finding that curse in a tattered ancient book.
However, the spell is incomplete, and he is currently working hard to perfect it.
There is absolutely no one else in the world who knows about this except himself.
How did this kid in front of me know that?
"Then you don't need to worry about it."
Lin Ci stood up and looked down at him.
"You just need to cast the spell."
Daolong's mind raced.
He understood instantly.
This young man before me must also want to seize all the power left behind by the Holy Lord, just like me.
But he didn't have that crucial spell.
Therefore, he had no choice but to come to me for help.
Thinking of this, a cunning glint flashed in Daolong's cloudy eyes.
He suddenly laughed.
"Haha, I advise you to let me go."
Lin Ci raised an eyebrow.
Daolong's face broke into a victorious smile, and his tone became arrogant.
"All you want is the Dark Lord's Shadow Legion."
"But in this world, only I know the curse."
"If you don't let me go, you'll never know about that curse!"
Lin Ci almost burst out laughing when he heard this.
How did you know I wanted the Shadow Legion?
Dao Long's smile grew even more smug.
"Little brat, even a great mage is no match for me. Do you really think I can't see through your little schemes?"
Lin Ci smiled too.
"So what do you want?"
Dao Long cleared his throat, adopting a negotiating stance.
"Let me go first."
"Then, give me half of the spell's power, and I will give you that spell."
Lin Ci's eyes flickered.
"Why should I trust you?"
Daolong raised his chin slightly.
"Perhaps I am an evil sorcerer, but I still keep my word."
"Only dragons and demons are untrustworthy."
A meaningful smile curved at the corners of Lin Ci's lips.
"Are you talking about the Holy Lord?"
"Then leave it alone!"
Daolong urged impatiently.
