Kill Shikigami In A Flash And Scare Away Sakura Country

The two stepped into the dungeon once more.

Ning Yiyi quickly activated the Cooling Talisman.

A few seconds later, they re-entered the dungeon.

"What are they doing?" someone wondered aloud.

"Why did they exit as soon as they entered? And then go back in again?" another questioned, perplexed.

"Using the Cooling Talisman like that is a waste!"

"Could they really be that rich and willful?"

Those still confronting each other outside the dungeon stood in stunned silence, unable to comprehend Lin Moyu and Ning Yiyi's actions.

Even if they racked their brains, they wouldn't grasp that the duo was clearing a mermaid dungeon on nightmare difficulty—successfully done in just ten minutes.

Only Jiang Taotao and her friends understood the true situation.

They exchanged shocked glances, fully aware of Lin Moyu's capacity to solo the mermaid dungeons.

But finishing it in ten minutes? That was incredible!

Even leisurely exploring the dungeon would likely take longer than that.

Following their strategy, Lin Moyu guided Ning Yiyi to complete the dungeon again.

"Wow! This time it took just 8 minutes and 58 seconds—over 30 seconds faster than last time!" Ning Yiyi exclaimed, checking the timer on her communicator, which was actually counting down.

Lin Moyu chuckled, finding her enthusiasm amusing. While others approached the trial as a chore, Ning Yiyi treated it like a game.

This time, after clearing the dungeon, they didn't enter again but returned to the Shenxia Empire team.

"The Cooling Talisman has run out of uses," she announced.

"What a waste of money," someone scoffed.

"Why don't you try going in again, if you dare?" jeered the members of Sakura Country, their disdain evident.

However, envy flickered in their eyes, clearly wishing to snatch the Cooling Talisman from Ning Yiyi's grasp.

Once Lin Moyu and Ning Yiyi rejoined Jiang Taotao, she asked, "Did you get it?"

Lin Moyu handed over the Mermaid Tears to her.

As a team in this trial, Jiang Taotao, the captain, was responsible for completing the final task.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "The dungeon has vanished!"

The cry echoed like thunder, drawing everyone's attention.

The vortex at the dungeon's entrance had completely dissipated after a few shakes.

"How could the dungeon disappear?" someone exclaimed. "This is impossible unless all three Mermaid Tears were collected. Did that person really go in three times?"

"Could it be they got the Mermaid's Tears?"

"Clearing the nightmare difficulty level? Is that even possible?"

Whether it was possible or not, the facts were undeniable.

The dungeon had simply vanished.

There was no way to obtain the Mermaid Tears now.

"Let's go!" Lin Moyu said softly. With the Mermaid's Tear secured, there was no need to linger.

"They can't leave!"

"The Mermaid's Tears must be with them; they have to hand them over!"

"Get them back!"

"Hand over the Mermaid's Tears, or you'll never leave!"

The members of Sakura Country surged forward, anger blazing in their eyes.

The Shenxia Empire team, equally perplexed, glanced at Jiang Taotao. "Did you really get the Mermaid's Tears?"

Jiang Taotao didn't deny it. "Yes, the Mermaid's Tears are indeed in my possession."

A collective gasp echoed through the crowd.

This confirmed they had cleared the dungeon moments ago.

Especially the last two attempts, completed by just two people.

"How did they manage that?" Doubts swirled in almost everyone's eyes.

Ling Zhen's heart raced, yelling in his mind, "It's impossible! They can't have cleared the dungeon!"

Yet, despite his confusion, he felt the pressure from the Sakura Country members.

In contrast, the Shenxia Empire, Xiajing Academy, and Qianlong Academy stood united.

They quickly formed a battle formation.

"Step back!"

"How dare you act recklessly in front of the Shenxia Empire!"

"If you want the Mermaid's Tears, you'll have to fight for them!"

Suddenly, a roar shattered the air.

The wind swept away the clouds, revealing two massive shikigami hovering above.

At that moment, the onmyoji finally stopped hiding, revealing himself.

He sat astride a shikigami, exuding a powerful aura.

From his presence alone, it was evident he was no less than level 30.

A unique onmyoji from Sakura Country, a legendary occupation, and he commanded a formidable shikigami.

This was not an enemy to underestimate!

Jiang Taotao felt a twinge of nervousness, her brow furrowing. "That person is at least level 30."

But then she remembered that even a powerful queen like the mermaid wouldn't last two or three minutes against Lin Moyu.

No matter how strong the onmyoji was, he couldn't possibly clear the nightmare mermaid dungeon either.

Lin Moyu's skeletons were formidable.

With that thought, Jiang Taotao felt her nerves settle.

The onmyoji's eyes fixed on her. "Hand over the Mermaid Tears, or you won't be able to leave."

Both shikigami turned to glare at Jiang Taotao, their gazes cold and menacing.

Before she could respond, Lin Moyu made his move.

A flicker of fire ignited in his palm.

Skill: Soul Flame!

A flame erupted above one of the shikigami.

In an instant, the fire penetrated the creature's body.

"Aaaah!"

The shikigami let out a bone-chilling scream.

The wind howled as the shrieks echoed, twisting and contorting the shikigami's form.

The onmyoji's expression darkened as he swiftly cast his skills to stabilize the shikigami.

His cold gaze turned toward Lin Moyu. "You're dead!"

Another terrifying shikigami appeared in the sky.

This one towered over three meters tall, clad in armor, with a serpent's head atop a human body, wielding a colossal axe.

As soon as it emerged, it lunged toward Lin Moyu.

"Attack!"

A melee erupted once more.

Qianlong Academy unleashed a torrent of attacks on the giant-axe-wielding shikigami.

But it was like throwing a pebble into the ocean—utterly ineffective.

Everyone quickly realized that this shikigami was immensely powerful.

The onmyoji sneered. "Your attacks are nothing but tickles to my giant axe."

Five skeleton warriors materialized beside Lin Moyu.

In unison, they leapt high to confront the descending giant-axe shikigami.

Skill: Frenzied Strike!

The red light of the sword in the skeleton warrior's grasp flared to life.

As the skill activated, its power soared to an astonishing 5400—an incredible display of strength.

The strike doubled the attack once again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The seemingly formidable shikigami crumbled before them, dissolving into a cloud of blue smoke that quickly dissipated.

"So weak?" Lin Moyu was momentarily taken aback.

What had appeared to be a fearsome shikigami had turned out to be surprisingly frail.

Everyone else was equally stunned.

While their attacks had been ineffectual, Lin Moyu's skeleton had dispatched the enemy shikigami in just a few hits.

Was it that the shikigami was truly weak, or was Lin Moyu's skeleton exceptionally strong?

With the shikigami defeated, the onmyoji—its master—suffered heavy losses as well.

His face turned pale, and he coughed up blood.

At that moment, flames erupted once more from Lin Moyu's hand.

The screaming shikigami endured another brutal assault.

Two skeleton warriors silently appeared beside it, raising their weapons high before delivering a lethal strike.

That shikigami was also swiftly vanquished.

The onmyoji screamed in despair.

He hastily maneuvered his remaining shikigami to soar high, fleeing from Lin Moyu's onslaught.

Resentment and fear glimmered in his eyes as he regarded Lin Moyu.

The crowd stood frozen in shock.

Both sides paused, eyes wide with horror.

"How can his skeletons be so powerful?"

"That's a shikigami, yet it was defeated so easily!"

"What kind of skeleton is this? What is his profession? How high is his level?"

Questions surged in their minds.

The members of Sakura Country were left doubting Lin Moyu's occupation and rank.

Wearing a shield badge obscured their ability to discern his true identity.

Yet the onmyoji in the sky recognized that Lin Moyu was merely level 17, a necromancer.

To be so powerful at level 17 was a testament to the terrifying nature of his profession.

It was evident that Lin Moyu had awakened a remarkable talent.

The onmyoji realized he needed to report this information back: there was a formidable professional in the Shenxia Empire.

With that in mind, he turned his shikigami and fled without looking back.

Having lost two shikigami in quick succession, his heart ached at the loss.

Ten skeletal warriors marched forward, side by side, filling the arena.

Their bluish-white glow and glinting weapons sent chills down spines, and their soul fire flickered ominously in the wind.

Just their presence was enough to terrify the faint of heart.

Faced with the skeleton warriors, no one from Sakura Country dared to make a move.

If the onmyoji had been easily vanquished, how could they hope to withstand the skeletons?

They could only retreat.

Lin Moyu turned to Jiang Taotao, who was just regaining her composure. "Shall we go?"

"Yes," she replied, her voice steadying as they began their departure.

"No one can stop us!" Ning Yiyi chimed in, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

With the Mermaid's Tears secured, they strode confidently away.

As the last echoes of the battle faded, the members of Sakura Country could only watch helplessly, their hearts filled with rage and disbelief.

They were powerless to stop them.
