Chapter 73: Djinn Queen

After several waves of fierce attacks, almost all the Djinn were attracted over.

More than two hundred Djinn spread out their formation, using the menacing Harpy Witches and Skeleton Warriors as their main bodies to summon Mirror Puppets one by one, forcibly blocking the fierce impact of the Lich Legion. They even organized sharp counterattacks time and again, attempting to charge into the main camp of the Lich Legion. Unfortunately, the calm Yisu was well prepared and accurately calculated the duration of the Mirror Puppets, actively retreating the camp a few miles. By the time the enemy rushed to the front of the camp, many puppets had already automatically disappeared. A dense wave of arrows rained down. The Djinn mixed in with the puppets were shot into hedgehogs before they could even cast their Mirror Magic.

The number of Skeleton Warriors and Harpy Witches was huge, but facts proved that in this battle, the role of the Yin Soul was crucial.

Facing the waves of attacks from the Lich Legion that grew higher and higher, the Djinn met the battle in haste. In their nervousness, they were inadvertently pounced upon by several eerie Yin Souls, and a cold air rushed over their faces. With a shiver of their bodies, the Magic Power within them vanished completely, and they were quickly submerged by the Lich Legion.

After losing more than a dozen companions, the remaining Djinn quickly discovered the Yin Souls mixed among the Skeleton Warriors and Harpy Witches, and decisively concentrated their forces to snipe them. Unfortunately, the drifting Yin Souls despicably hid behind the Skeleton Warriors, their figures erratic. The vast majority of the attacks landed on the Skeleton Warriors and Harpy Witches.

What was the greatest advantage of the Lich Legion?

Numbers, vast numbers.

They had nothing else, but there were plenty of low-rank Skeleton Warriors and Harpy Witches. If a row of Skeleton Warriors fell, several rows of Skeleton immediately took their place. The Skeleton Warriors and Harpy Witches charged recklessly in the front, while the Yin Souls looked for opportunities to strike from behind. The continuous offensive brought immense pressure to the mere two hundred or so Djinn.

Under Yisu’s calculations, the Djinn, who were passively taking a beating, were in an increasingly bad situation. With the wave after wave of fierce impact from the Lich Legion, slowly, their casualties grew larger and larger.

Besides the Innate Divine Ability of Mirror Puppets, the power of the Djinn’s flame attacks was also extraordinary. With a swing of the flames in their hands, large swathes of scorching flames appeared on the ground and in the air, burning the pouncing Harpy Witches and Skeleton Warriors alive to ashes. The lethality was astonishing, but every time they used it, they consumed a lot of Magic Power, which was exactly what Hu Feng and the others wanted.

When their Magic Power was exhausted, that would be their time of death!

Every high-rank creature in the Lich Legion was quietly waiting in the dark for the moment to strike. All creatures with strength above the Eighth Step, under Yisu’s command, silently sneaked near the mountaintop.

“Little Demon, the safety of Commander Yisu is in the hands of you and Udely. The time has not come yet, neither of you is allowed to attack!”

Turning around to give a few instructions, Hu Feng suddenly spread his huge Dark Wings and disappeared with a ‘whoosh’. The next moment, he suddenly appeared behind an injured Djinn, stabbing his sharp Dark Magic Pen into her heart from behind. With a thought, a huge Demon God Phantom appeared behind him. With four faces and eight arms, it opened its mouth and sucked in the struggling Djinn.

“Hmm, Thought Incarnation, Soul division?”

Hu Feng closed his eyes, spread his Dark Wings, and floated quietly in the air, refining the Djinn’s memory and Soul on the spot, plundering her Innate Divine Ability. Soon, a trace of understanding appeared in his heart. The laws of Mirror Magic were actually somewhat similar to the phantom-filled Thousand Layer Slash. To a certain extent, the Mirror Puppets copied by the Djinn were just powerful phantoms!

Whoosh…

Hu Feng, who suddenly appeared on the battlefield, immediately attracted the attention of all the Djinn.

Seeing a companion being swallowed alive by him, every Djinn’s eyes turned red with anger. More than a dozen nearby Djinn pounced over desperately. However, just as they were preparing to use Hu Feng as the main body to cast Mirror Magic, their vision blurred and they lost his figure. After a shrill scream, an injured Djinn dozens of meters away died by his hand again, swallowed clean by the huge Demon God Phantom!

“Every strand of thought is an Avatar. A Thought Incarnation is a powerful Mirror Puppet!”

Hu Feng suddenly opened his eyes. With a wave of his cold Dark Magic Pen, he wrote a large character ‘Illusion’ in the air. Suddenly, an identical Djinn puppet appeared beside him. Whether it was the nose and eyebrows or the flame held in the hand, everything looked exactly like a real Djinn.

Grand Illusion Technique!

After consecutively devouring two powerful Djinn, he vaguely grasped the essence of Mirror Magic and performed it with decent proficiency, carrying a trace of the aura of the Grand Illusion Demon God. A new Demon God Phantom condensed within his body; it was shadowy, with facial features and body shape constantly changing.

Comprehending the Ancient Divine Ability and condensing the Demon God Phantom, this was the true path of Cultivation. Whether it was the phantom-filled Thousand Layer Slash or the Djinn’s Mirror Magic, they were all just branches of the Grand Illusion Technique. After killing the Demon Hunter Jian Yu and plundering his memory to comprehend the Thousand Layer Slash, Hu Feng had vaguely touched the laws of the Grand Illusion Technique. Now, devouring the souls of two Djinn, he finally took a crucial step.

The Djinn puppet conjured by Hu Feng was only similar in shape; it didn’t even have ten percent of the main body’s strength and existed for an extremely short time. A cold breeze blew past, and it quickly turned into a phantom and dissipated. But even so, it still gave the Djinn a big shock.

What is an Innate Divine Ability?

So-called innate means that it is something every race is born with. Others cannot learn it, nor can they steal it. After so many years, it was the first time seeing an Evil Prodigy like Hu Feng!

“Kill him!”

A Djinn with long flowing hair stepped forward, her voice cold and her tone unquestionable. One could tell at a glance that she was the leader of the many Djinn. At her command, a full twenty powerful Djinn pounced toward Hu Feng. Suddenly, a large area of scorching flames appeared in the air, submerging the area within a hundred meters of Hu Feng.

Sky-Burning Flame!

The tide-like waves of Harpy Witches and Skeleton Warriors made the Djinn feel unprecedented pressure, but Hu Feng, who suddenly appeared on the battlefield, made them feel even greater danger. The Djinn Queen, who had been pressing the battle from the side, could no longer hold back. She personally took action, leading a team of Djinn to surround Hu Feng tightly. A obscure Soul Fluctuation radiated from her body.

In an instant, an indescribable feeling suddenly surged into Hu Feng’s heart, as if he was being spied on by a venomous snake lurking in the dark, or locked onto by an evil Evil Eye targeting his Soul Fluctuation. The scorching flames were nothing, but this sudden feeling made people sense a strong danger. In great shock, without a word, his huge Dark Wings flapped hard and he suddenly disappeared from the spot, appearing behind a Djinn dozens of meters away.

After plundering the Witch Elder’s memory and power and comprehending the Great Mystery Technique, his Divine Sense induction range became even larger, and his premonitions became clearer.

“Huh…”

The Djinn Queen let out a cry of surprise. Originally, she was preparing to use Hu Feng as the main body to summon a few powerful puppets. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she lost the sense of his Soul, and the Mirror Magic was suddenly interrupted.

For thousands of years, wandering in the Underground World for so long, let alone creatures of the Fourteenth Step, she had even seen top creatures of the Fifteenth Step. But an enemy with such keen senses who could instantly break free from her Soul lock was something she encountered for the first time!

Strong enemy!

The Djinn Queen, with long hair draped over her shoulders, felt like she was facing a formidable enemy, her face covered in frost. With a wave of her right hand, a wall of flames soaring to the sky blocked the path of many Skeleton Warriors, stopping the impact of the Lich Legion. Following that, a black light flashed, and she used Harpy Witches as the main body to summon more than a dozen Mirror Puppets to snipe the Yin Souls hiding behind the Skeleton Warriors.

Fourteenth Step!

As soon as she made a move, the Djinn Queen displayed exceptionally powerful strength, charging murderously toward Hu Feng not far away. The defensive line retreated again and again. Not far behind her was the Djinn Grotto on the mountaintop; there was no retreat left. Killing Hu Feng, the Lich King, would give them a glimmer of hope for survival; otherwise, the Djinn would be submerged by the tide-like Undead Army!
