Chapter 219: Swallowing Demonic Energy
Under the watchful eyes of all, Ling Zhan walked up to the demonic barrier.
The vast, dark demonic energy permeated the area. Even the elite students behind Ling Zhan could easily lose themselves and fall into the demonic path upon contact with this evil energy, becoming mere machines of slaughter.
This was why not all first-year students were sent to aid in the demon extermination.
Typical first-tier experts could not resist the demonic energy. Even Zhu Yaoguang and Ji Wuming needed the protection of their teachers to participate.
"What method will he use to break the array? Is he planning to use brute force?"
"He can't use brute force... This spirit array has an absorbing function that can withstand the bombardment of a group of level 60 experts."
The elite students behind Ling Zhan discussed with serious expressions.
They leaned toward calling their teachers to break the array with brute force.
Emergency teleportation points were set up so that the leading teachers stationed at the war zone headquarters could instantly teleport here if needed.
The teachers didn't accompany them to prevent being lured away by a potential diversion and ensuring no third-tier demon remnants appeared in other villages.
Ignoring the discussions, Ling Zhan placed his hand directly on the demonic barrier!
Touching the demonic energy directly!
Was he not afraid of dying!?
The elite students were stunned!
They instinctively took battle stances, fearing the immensely powerful Ling Zhan might fall into the demonic path and turn against them!
They couldn't handle him if that happened!
The demon remnants burst into laughter at the sight.
"Haha! A mere non-specialist dares to touch the holy demonic energy directly. He's seeking death!"
One of the remnants standing next to the leader couldn't help but voice his surprise, "Huh? This guy is a non-specialist?"
He carefully examined Ling Zhan and then exclaimed.
He quickly turned to the leader, "Deputy Bishop! This guy seems to be the target on the Demon Arrival's wanted list!"
The level 65 deputy bishop realized it and sneered, "Oh! So it's the legendary non-specialist, Ling Zhan... How convenient! The bishops have ordered that he must be captured, dead or alive!"
"Perfect, he'll fall into the demonic path on his own, saving us the trouble!"
"But just in case, let's retrieve his body!"
He raised his hand, revealing his arm covered in ghastly demonic runes and several fanged mouths, turning him into a true monster.
With a fervent voice, he commanded:
"Everyone, target this non-specialist! Capturing him means a rich reward from the bishops!"
"Maybe even a chance to receive higher-grade demonic blood!"
At the mention of 'higher-grade demonic blood,' the already fanatical eyes of the demon remnants grew even crazier.
Like starving hounds smelling fresh meat, they howled madly!
Bzzz!
Ling Zhan, with his hand on the demonic barrier, sensed dozens of hostile intentions locking onto him!
Simultaneously...
The vast demonic energy within the barrier surged towards Ling Zhan, entangling him!
It seemed to be dragging him into the demonic path!
Meanwhile...
Boom!
Hundreds of second-tier demon remnants' concentrated attacks were aimed at Ling Zhan!
Dazzling magical flames, razor-sharp armor-piercing arrows, grim ghostly soldiers, powerful bullets, and control debuffs...
Even Shou Jingyuan would have to retreat from such a fearsome barrage!
However...
Ling Zhan appeared bound by the demonic energy, unable to move, yet showed no sign of retreating!
Certain death!
"Damn it!"
The elite students behind him gritted their teeth, frustrated and angry.
They couldn't help but blame him internally!
This non-specialist was too arrogant!
They shouldn't have let him take the lead!
But despite their complaints...
The ingrained principle of 'never abandoning a comrade' pushed them to act.
They were seasoned warriors from the front lines!
Without hesitation, several holy guardians stepped forward, their bodies glowing with white light.
On battlefields and in sieges, warriors often had skills to transfer their allies' damage to themselves.
This protective skill greatly shielded the vulnerable rear-line classes.
Facing such overwhelming attacks, several warriors needed to act together to protect Ling Zhan.
Bzzz!
In that instant...
An unexpected change occurred!
The vast demonic energy seemed to find an outlet and crazily surged into Ling Zhan's body!
It wasn't an invasion but Ling Zhan actively devouring the demonic energy!
Simultaneously...
Ling Zhan's body became transparent, allowing the incoming attacks to pass through him harmlessly.
Even the holy guardians' protective skills failed to lock onto him!
This...
Everyone was stunned!
Boom!
Before they could react, the relentless barrage struck the ground behind Ling Zhan, creating a massive explosion!
The road at the village entrance collapsed under the concentrated attacks, raising a vast cloud of dust and debris.
Visibility was lost in an instant!
