Chapter 161: 161

“How is it? Have you discovered that not only is the Black fire unable to be extinguished, but the more you use your mageforce to attack it, the more powerful it becomes?”

Lin Lei descended from the skies, laughing as he spoke.

“And this… is actually the true characteristic of theBlack Fire Absolute Kill Technique: it is indestructible!”

“After the flames are born, they would use all the elements in the world as ingredients and devour them crazily. Regardless of whether the elements could restrain them or not, they could absorb them as they wished and use them as ingredients to keep themselves alive.”

“As long as I don’t take the initiative to let them dissipate, they will continue to burn like this.”

“More importantly, if I use you as the target of the spell, they will continue to entangle you until all the mageforce and blood essence in your body are completely dissolved. Only then will they leave you and attach themselves to the next target.”

“Therefore, once you are entangled by this spell, it is basically equivalent to a death sentence.”

“Unless your own strength is stronger than the person who cast this mystic ability, then you can use the difference in level to forcibly make up for the difference in detection between you, otherwise…”

“In the face of this Black Fire Absolute Kill Technique, there is only one outcome…”

“And that is death.”

Lin Lei slowly spat out the word ‘fire’. After saying these words, he gently raised his right hand and pointed towards the black fire that was enveloping the bodies of Walton and the other two.

Those three balls of Black fire that Walton and the others were unable to shake off floated in mid-air. And then, very quickly, they gathered between Lin Lei’s fingers.

And then, like three conscious spirits, they moved between Lin Lei’s fingers.

Finally, their bodies of flame slowly melted into thin air…

They had disappeared.

This…

This…

Seeing this, the eyes of Walton and the other two, aside from surprise, no other color could be seen in them.

And very quickly, after a long period of silence, a surge of excitement appeared in the hearts of the three of them.

And then, when they looked at Lin Lei again, their eyes were filled with blazing light.

Lin Lei… was even more powerful than they had imagined!

Lin Lei’s methods were even more unpredictable and unpredictable!

This was a good thing for them!

Because from now on, they would be on the same side as Lin Lei.

And just as Lin Lei had said before, he would have his methods imparted to them.

Thus, when they thought of this, the three of them couldn’t help but feel excited.

They hoped that they would soon be able to hear Lin Lei explain to them the key to learning the Black Fire Absolute Kill Technique.

However, what they hadn’t expected was that after Lin Lei had finished speaking, it seemed as though he wasn’t allowed to say anything else.

With his hands behind his back, he continued to laugh as he looked at them.

This caused the three of them to feel rather dazed.

What did he mean?

Was Lin Lei master waiting for us to ask him for advice?

The three of them were rather dazed as they thought about this.

After a long period of silence, William couldn’t help but ask the first question.

However, what he was asking wasn’t the training method for Black Fire Absolute Kill Technique, but…

“Lin Lei… Master Lin, forgive me for being presumptuous, but I would like to ask you…”

“Right now… have you reached a higher level of insight beyond the first rank of the Great Sage?”

William mustered up his courage to ask. After asking, his chest began to rise and fall, he was unable to calm down for a long time…

Next to him, after hearing his question, Walton and Bud’s breathing began to quicken as well.

Especially Walton.

Actually, just now, when he realized that he hadn’t been able to extinguish that black fire, he had the same thought.

Only, he had never dared to believe it before.

After all, Lin Lei had only recently become a grand sage…

There was no need for him to become a grand sage so quickly, right?

How long only had it been?

You can’t be a genius like this!

Walton couldn’t help but grumble in his heart.

Thus, his eyes were staring expectantly at Lin Lei as well.

As for Lin Lei, when he saw the three pairs of eyes staring at him, he simply laughed.

He slowly nodded, then looked at William as though he was praising him. Laughing, he replied,

“What you see is correct. I am already at the third rank of the Great Sage.”

“However, this is just a division of the realms.”

“If I were to go into more detail, the attack power I am currently capable of unleashing should be at the fifth rank of the Great Sage. After all, as you saw just now, different types of mystic abilities can always be combined to unleash a power that is higher than that of one’s realm itself.”

“And if we’re talking about defensive power, at this moment, I should be able to defend against the Great Sage’s tier 8-9 attacks.”

“The reason for this is very simple. I believe that everyone has seen it just now. I was lucky enough to obtain the Eastern Emperor’s Bell, and I also comprehended the Eastern Emperor’s Bell’s mnemonic formula, awakening the first mystic ability of the Eastern Emperor’s Bell.”

“Therefore, if we take everything into consideration, at this moment, my strength should be around a tier 5 grand sage.”

“If I were to use a single unit of strength… Emm… All I can say is that for someone like Walton, I can fight ten of them… No, twelve. Twelve shouldn’t be a problem. In addition… I can also wipe them all out in one blow.”

Lin Lei shrugged and laughed as he spoke.

When he said these words, his tone was very relaxed. But when William and the other two heard his words, they were instantly shocked to their core…

There was nothing they could do. Linley’s words contained too much information!

What offensive power? What defensive power? Let’s not talk about that for now.

There were three points that entered William and the other two’s ears and never came out again.

These three points were:

1. Within a month or so, Lin Lei had actually risen from the first rank of the Great Sage to the third rank of the great sage!

And from what he had said, using the word ‘third rank’ to describe him seemed to be a bit unfair to him…

2. Linley really did have the East Emperor’s Bell! His defensive power had increased dramatically!

And, most importantly, he had also solved the mnemonic chant of the Eastern Emperor’s Bell, which was the Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s Supreme Art!

God d*mn it!

This mnemonic chant had once been a mnemonic chant that countless people would never be able to acquire in their entire lives!

He had actually acquired it so easily?

3. The third and most important point was that he had actually said that he would be able to kill Walton in one blow!

And that he could kill twelve of them in one blow!

It was hard for the three of them to tell if this was just boasting or not.

After all, Lin Lei still hadn’t displayed his true power yet.

But what made them angry the most was that when this fellow spoke those words, his tone was so light, as though Walton wasn’t even worth mentioning at all!

Could it be that he didn’t think that this was very impressive?

The three of them continued to feel numb…

For a long time, they were unable to recover from their shock.

But when Lin Lei saw their dazed expressions, he couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh,

“You guys… you really don’t have to be so shocked.”

“Actually, all of this really isn’t worth mentioning. I would like for you to advance to the third stage of the Great Sage faster than me. That’s only normal having me as your master.”

“Because a calamity is brewing in the east.”

“Soon, we may encounter a crisis of extermination…”
