“No, we need to find a way to get this fella down…” Serena looked at the floating silhouette; she looked rather anxious. “Aragon, I order you to hurry and think of a way!”

“I…” Aragon was dumbfounded, his expression looked worse than crying.Captain Serena, you think too highly of me, asking me to come up with a solution now. What kind of solution can I come up with? How can I fly up there and bring that fella down? I am not an archmage…

In fact, Serena knew it herself. There was no solution available at this time. Those two fighting were legendary powerhouses. Other than that reckless fella, who else dared to interfere with their fight? Yet the problem was that that reckless fella had saved her life before. Serena could not watch on as he died…

“Damned Archmage!” Serena scolded harshly. She could not come up with a solution no matter how hard she thought about it.

The members of the Silver Hand were whispering to one another. Likewise, the other mercenary corps were also discussing. Almost everyone were speculating what this fella was trying to do by rushing into the sky. Some said he wanted to help the Sword Sage of the Storm, but he never made any moves. Some said he wanted to watch the fun, yet he was too close.

Going up there at this time would only result in severe injuries; nothing good would come out of it…

Amongst the crowd, it could be said that only Hank and Elijah were the most unperturbed.

They knew Lin Li the longest, and had gone through the most scare caused by him. After going through it repeatedly, they had already become numb to it. They even did not think that Lin Li would run into trouble. This was almost like an instinct—just like eating when you were hungry or drinking when you were thirsty. It was a completely logical and obvious train of thought.

Being the focus of the crowd’s gazes, Lin Li did not budge at all. He just floated in the sky quietly, waiting for that fleeting chance.

The Sword Sage of the Storm had already been pushed the borders of the Fire Plume Ridge, and it looked like he was about to be pushed into a hopeless situation where he could no longer retreat.

This time, the Sword Sage of the Storm did not retreat further. He grabbed the sword with both hands and the silver flame surrounding his body surged. Instantly, the infinite silver flames flushed to the sword’s body. Under this flush of silver flames, the almost one meter long sword instantly expanded, creating a silver fire wall that was up to ten meters tall.

“Boom!” There was a loud sound, the overspreading silver flames rolled up, and the apocalyptic aura dissipated. Even Lin Li, who was in the sky, felt stifled.

The red flames and white blade aura instantly invoked a florid scene that seemed like a dream. The two different colours, warm and cold, mixed together. The brilliance dazzled everyone.

Within the overspreading silver flames, a shimmering light shot through like a comet.

Lin Li clearly saw that it was the sword from the Sword Sage of the Storm’s hands.

“Aroo!”

This was closely followed by a shriek…

Even with the Salamander’s incomparable body, it finally gave way to the Sword Sage of the Storm’s all-out attack. In a hurry, it only barely managed to block its most vital part, its head. Next, silver light flashed by and the Salamander’s long tail was instantly chopped off by the Sword Sage of the Storm’s sword.

“Bom!”

The muffled sound could only be heard after a while..

The tail that was cleaved off heavily fell on the ground. Instantaneously, there was crimson red blood spewing everywhere. The thick scent of blood permeated the air. It was so suffocating that even Lin Li, who was in the sky, started to frown. Shrill roars came in quick succession and traveled throughout the whole Fire Plume Ridge. Even the Fire Crows at the bottom of the ridge were so frightened that they took to the skies in flocks.

Being provoked by pain that it had never felt before, the ferocious head of the Salamander fiercely rose up. Its small pair of eyes was filled with inexhaustible hatred. Two of its protruding teeth were shimmering in the dazzling flare, and its red tongue was flickering. The hiss it let out made everyone’s skin crawl.

“Sh*t!” Lin Li, being in the sky, was crystal clear on the changes in the battlefield. When he saw the Salamander flickering its tongue, he knew that situation was not going well. The earth-shaking strike just now had completely exhausted the Sword Sage of the Storm’s energy. If the Salamander were to attack now, he would not have the ability to resist it.

As expected, just when Lin Li said “sh*t”, the salamander’s front paw’s claws had already created an afterimage…

“Swish!” A tearing sound could be heard, and what followed was blood spewing. In that instant, Lin Li thought that Al’Akir had been ripped into two. The razor sharp claws slashed at the chest. With a “tchh”, it had ripped out a long wound on the Sword Sage of the Storm’s body…

Yet, simultaneously, a silver flight shot out from the Sword Sage of the Storm’s hand like lightning.

“Aroo…” Salamander’s shriek this time was more intense than the previous time.

The Salamander’s ferocious head arched backwards, and red blood spewed out from its right eye like rain drops. The sword that was surrounded by silver flames was like a nail hammered into the Salamander’s right eye.

This bloody scene made everyone freeze…

Nobody had thought that the battle between these two legendary powerhouses would be so bloody.

Lin Li, who was in the sky, was admiring it silently. The Sword Sage of the Storm was indeed the Sword Sage of the Storm. In such exhaustion, he still managed to severely wound a powerhouse like the Salamander with just a throw of his sword. Just with this unexpected strike, he had already pulled back the balance of power that was originally against him.

However, it was not important to Lin Li whether it had been pulled back.

It was because the chance that he wanted was right in front of his eyes!

First, the Salamander’s tail had been chopped off, and now, one of its eyes had been stabbed. Even if the Salamander was a legendary magical beast, it had finally lost its sanity. Its earth-shattering roar was filled with pain and hatred. It was pounding its ferocious head against the floor. The dull “bom bom bom” sounds could be felt in everyone’s chest. The body that lost a tail was flailing about. The scales that were covered in dirt and sand gave everyone goosebumps.

The heavily wounded Salamander started to lose the flames from its body. The numerous scales seemed to be dull. This was the sign of energy depletion. The salamander would retract the flames from its body only when it was severely wounded to prevent itself from being burned when it was exhausted.

However, such a retraction was not actually a complete disappearance. It was just that the Salamander used its innate ability to control the flames and hid them inside its body.

And this was the chance that Lin Li was waiting for…

“Salamander, bro, it’s time for you have a taste of some medicine!” Just as the flames receded, Lin Li took off his Robe of the Void. A robe that was worth hundred thousand of gold coins was made into a bundle by him in a matter of seconds. It was like a package held in his hands. He furiously enhanced his mana output; then, he charged down like an arrow that had just been shot by an arrow…

“He, he, he… What is he doing?” This sudden action instantly made Serena have a scare. She saw that fella descend like a meteor, plunging straight towards the raging Salamander. “What the hell, is he courting death?”

“Oh my God…” Aragon was dumbfounded. He could no longer understand anything anymore about that strange fella in the sky. Since killing Thuzadin at Blackhills Town, everything that this fella did seemed to be out of everyone’s expectations. Today was even worse, for unfathomable things came in consecutively. He had transformed from a low-level warrior into a powerful Archmage. And now, he had taken off his robe and charged towards the Salamander. This, this, this… What was this? Was he trying to say that it was easier to injured the Salamander by taking off the robe?

The hundreds of adventurers from the Six Great Mercenary Corps seemingly cried out in alarm simultaneously.

Nobody knew what he was thinking, including Hank and Elijah. They could only watch as he swooped down from the sky like a giant bird.

“Bon Appetit!” Lin Li rode the howling winds and flew past the Salamander’s body with lightning speed.

Just as both man and beast were in contact for a split second, the bundle in Lin Li’s hand was thrown out and landed inside the Salamander’s mouth.

After that, Lin Li did not stop. Before he left, he had shot out an icicle as though he was trying to help it with its digestion.

However, the target for this icicle was actually the Salamander’s blinded right eye.

If it was on any other day, even a mosquito would be stronger than this icicle for the Salamander, or maybe the icicle would have been melted by the searing flames before it even reached the Salamander. However, now it was severely injured. It had retracted all of the fire magical element surrounding its body. Although it had a high body temperature, it would not reach the level of melting the icicle.

As for this mediocre icicle, it had miraculously plunged into the Salamander’s right eye…

“Aroo…” This grievous, shrill cry echoed, and almost everyone could feel the Salamander’s rage.

In fact, even the members of the six great mercenary corps felt sympathy.

This what it meant to lose one’s dignity. A legendary magical beast had been struck in the right eye by a level-1 spell. If this news were to spread, it might be able to cause the Salamander’s enemies to die from laughing.

This action that was very insulting, like giving a slap to the Salamander which had an intelligence that was not inferior to humans. Its heart was filled with rage like never before. It even caused it to forget the wounds on its body and the other human that had injured it. Amidst the dust and smoke, the Salamander moved like a red-colored lightning and charged towards Lin Li who was in the sky…

Unfortunately, Lin Li was not Al’Akir. He had never thought about going head to head with the Salamander.

At the moment when the Salamander charged forward, Lin Li’s mana had already been raised to the maximum. With the support of his demon-like mana, the archmage level’s Levitation Spell almost had the effects of Power of Flight. In that instance, Lin Li was like a stream of light and whizzed past the Salamander’s body.

After that, the crowd saw him grinning while landing beside the Sword Sage of the Storm’s body.

“Guild Master, need any help?”
