"All of you, retreat!"
"Go inform the city lord!"
Wang Qiang ordered his subordinates, his eyes cold and focused.
In the fierce battle just now, many of the guards had already died!
"Yes!"
The guards, who were now too terrified to join the fight, heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Wang Qiang's command and quickly retreated from the area.
"Who exactly are you?"
Wang Qiang glared at Lin Luoluo with a grim expression.
The use of the forbidden technique had come at a cost—his very life force was being drained!
Lin Luoluo remained silent, her cold eyes locked onto Wang Qiang, seemingly contemplating how best to kill him.
"Hmph!"
With Lin Luoluo's face obscured by her veiled hat, Wang Qiang couldn't clearly see her features.
With a sneer, he lunged at Lin Luoluo with lightning speed, swinging his greatsword down toward her body.
Phantom Dance!
In that moment, Lin Luoluo activated her skill, her body instantly transforming into countless shadows.
Clang, clang, clang—
Soul Sever relentlessly slashed at Wang Qiang's greatsword!
In the next instant, his greatsword shattered into pieces!
Soul Sever then pierced directly through Wang Qiang's chest.
Wang Qiang's eyes widened as he released his grip on the sword handle and swung a fist toward Lin Luoluo's chest.
Boom—
However, Lin Luoluo reacted swiftly, raising her left arm to block the blow.
Crack—
A sharp sound echoed as Lin Luoluo was sent flying backward.
Her right hand still gripping Soul Sever, she pulled the sword from Wang Qiang's body as she was thrown back.
She staggered for a good distance before finally steadying herself.
A gust of wind blew through the area.
Lin Luoluo's hat was swept away, revealing her long, flowing hair and her delicate, beautiful face.
"So, you really are a woman."
Wang Qiang sneered coldly at the sight.
Lin Luoluo looked far too young, which left him deeply surprised.
"I wonder which family you belong to."
"But it doesn't matter. Today, you've killed Yang Feng of the Yang family and so many guards. Your entire family will die."
Wang Qiang grinned maliciously as his gaze fixed on Lin Luoluo.
"Shut up."
The mention of her "family" caused Lin Luoluo's expression to turn even colder.
"Tsk, tsk, did I say something wrong?"
"Do you even realize who you've offended?"
Wang Qiang thought he had successfully threatened Lin Luoluo and smiled wickedly.
"Hand over the sword, and maybe I'll leave your body intact."
"Perhaps your family won't die in such a miserable way."
Wang Qiang continued to taunt her.
"I told you... to shut up!"
At that moment, an overwhelming aura exploded from Lin Luoluo's body.
Boom—
As her aura surged, a fierce wind whipped around the area.
Before Wang Qiang's eyes, Lin Luoluo's hair began turning silver at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wang Qiang's eyes widened in shock.
Her hair... had suddenly turned silver...
Wait, could she be from the Silver Clan!?
And just earlier, hadn't Yang Feng paid an astronomical price for a silver skeleton?
Now that he thought about it, everything made sense.
"So, you're from the Silver Clan."
Wang Qiang's voice turned cold.
"I didn't expect any of the Silver Clan to still be alive."
"The last one... our city lord melted his body down completely just to obtain that perfect skeleton..."
Wang Qiang deliberately sought to enrage her, knowing that anger would cloud her judgment.
In a fit of rage, people often lost their cool, providing the perfect opportunity to strike.
Sure enough, Lin Luoluo's eyes widened in fury as her body trembled slightly.
In that moment, a massive surge of source energy flooded into Soul Sever.
Light attribute energy exploded from the sword.
Her left arm, previously twisted from the earlier fracture, began to heal rapidly as Lin Luoluo braced it with her right hand and drove Soul Sever into the ground for support.
In no time, her fractured arm had completely healed.
Healed again!?
Wang Qiang's expression drastically shifted as he watched.
Lin Luoluo moved!
Swoosh—
In the blink of an eye, she appeared right in front of Wang Qiang.
With Soul Sever in hand, she thrust it forward.
Wang Qiang's arm was already covered in blood-red energy that had formed into armor.
He intended to use his arm to block the sword.
But Soul Sever was far too sharp!
It pierced straight through his arm, shattering the bones within!
"Argh!!!"
Wang Qiang roared in pain.
He swung his left fist at Lin Luoluo's body.
Swoosh—
Lin Luoluo swiftly dodged the punch, sidestepping effortlessly.
In that moment, she pulled Soul Sever free and slashed down at his left arm!
Bang—
The sharp blade of Soul Sever sliced through his left arm, severing it completely!
"Die!"
Lin Luoluo didn't stop. She continued her relentless assault, hacking at Wang Qiang with Soul Sever.
His blood-formed armor couldn't withstand the blows!
Without his weapon, Wang Qiang was quickly overwhelmed and cut down.
[Killed Ninth-Tier Warrior, gained 9000 Evolution Points]
[Absorbed blood essence from Ninth-Tier Warrior, gained 9 Energy Points]
[Absorbed blood essence from Ninth-Tier Warrior, gained 9 Energy Points]
...
As the system notifications continued, Soul Sever rapidly absorbed Wang Qiang's blood essence and energy.
Soon, the energy Lin Luoluo had expended earlier was fully replenished.
"I almost died there."
Ye Fan remarked with relief.
Lin Luoluo had burned through a lot of her blood essence during the battle.
If she hadn't killed Wang Qiang, she might not have been able to recover.
Additionally, by absorbing part of Wang Qiang's energy, Lin Luoluo's strength had also increased.
As her emotions gradually settled, her silver hair slowly returned to its original black color.
After taking Wang Qiang's storage ring, Lin Luoluo quickly left the area.
Although she wanted to kill the city lord of Spear City as well, she knew her strength wasn't enough yet.
After all, the city lord of Spear City was said to be a Martial Master-level warrior!
