Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Chapter 220: Chapter 198: The Hunting Moment_2

And for human professionals, there is only one fatal injury: either by bursting their dog head or chopping it off, they could be killed instantly.

Therefore, without a second word, Old Iron’s eight spider spikes on his back transformed into streaks of black shadows, crazily stabbing towards the professional’s skull.

In the horrifying sound of “sizzle sizzle sizzle,” the sharp spider spikes moved like a pile driver, performing a piston-like motion in and out of the opponent’s skull.

The professional who still had half a health bar remaining had his health bar emptied in an instant, and the whole person turned into a puddle of mush and “plop” fell at Old Iron’s feet, dead beyond dead.

On the other side, the Spider Queen was still in a rough and tough guise, charging out from a pile of skeletons and zombies, heading straight for the Heretical Sect members.

This creature deliberately messed things up, causing a good amount of chaos in the formation of skeletons and zombies. However, the vast undead army quickly filled any gaps made by the Spider Queen within a few seconds.

Thinking of breaking out in those few seconds, honestly, those professionals who hadn’t reached Fourth Order LV80 were simply not up to par.

The Spider Queen, aggressively fighting face-to-face, wildly slashed with her dual blades while her spider legs were also busy at work.

The sharp claws easily penetrated the bodies of the Heretical Sect professionals and then performed a piercing strike, nailing the person to the ground, waiting to be minced into meat by the queen.

As for the various lethal skills frantically thrown by those professionals at the Spider Queen, they merely tickled her ineffectually, with some not even breaking her defense.

The biggest in size among them, the Demon Spider with a human face, was somewhat hindered in its movements by the forest terrain, making it the slowest among the three ace combatants.

However, this creature was equally fierce, not aiming to kill but to maim!

Any professional caught by the humanoid Demon Spider had their limbs chopped off and were then tossed aside on the ground, as it immediately rushed towards its next target.

Had Zi Liyuan not given the order to take prisoners alive, it’s likely that every move and attack of the humanoid Demon Spider would have been aimed towards the professionals’ heads or necks.

After all, beheading for an instant kill is much easier than the tedious task of chopping off limbs.

The reason Zi Liyuan wanted prisoners was obviously for interrogation.

How could anyone believe that these Heretical Sect members, daring to appear near the Imperial Capital, did so without any backing from powers within the capital?

Hence, he must extract information from these bastards who dared covet his wife.

Even if he couldn’t eliminate them within the Imperial Capital, he would at least know who his real enemies were and prevent them in advance, right?

Soon, Lord Zi would not be the kind of person who didn’t fight back when hit. In his philosophy, if someone attacked him, he must chop off that attacking limb!

Only by taking away their limbs could he minimize the threat they posed.

Of course, if he encountered them in the wilderness, well, sorry, self-delivery does not entail letting them go.

Crushing their bones and scattering their ashes, a one-stop service to ensure they would not plague the world again.

“So many have been killed already, and the target still hasn’t appeared. Could they have already escaped from here?”

Riding on the Ridgeback Tortoise and rushing within three kilometers of the cave, Zi Liyuan’s Spirit immediately began to scan the area.

The newly mutated skill “Elemental Map,” combined with the Eyes of Death and Shadow Eyes, laid bare everything above and below ground in his mind.

He then spotted the target of this mission, who was currently hiding on top of a rock outside the cave?

“Wow, this camouflage, not bad at all!”

The Elemental Map showed that the top of the cave was just an inconspicuous rock.

But the Eyes of Death revealed it to be a living being, and moreover, one with the strongest life force among all the present Heretical Sect professionals!

At the same time, Zi Liyuan also discovered five massive balls of yin energy, lurking inside the stone walls of the cave!

“Planning an ambush? These five balls of yin energy are nearly identical in strength; it seems it’s not the Shikigami Tanimura. This guy still had a trick up his sleeve.”

With the enemy’s hiding place now clear, Lord Zi still didn’t act rashly.

He had witnessed the power of Shikigami on the flying airship; they could shake the formation on it. These creatures’ strength was not to be underestimated at all.

This is the real world, and he definitely didn’t want to capsize in the gutter, so just to be safe, he decided to finish off the rest of the Heretical Sect members first before ganging up on this little “sunshine”, to teach him a lesson about why the flowers are so red.

The eradication was very swift; after all, the strongest of these Heretical Sect members was merely at the Third Order, with some only at the level of the Second Order.

In a situation where Lord Zi hadn’t even shown his face, this squad of a hundred was beaten and captured.

Most of them died, and only about twenty higher-ranking members were left alive, having had their limbs cut off.

Zi Liyuan casually tossed these guys aside to the Wraith Mages for interrogation.

After all, as mages who play with souls, although Wraith Mages aren’t quite at the level of necromancers, they are not too far behind; extracting useful intelligence from souls isn’t too difficult for them.

Mostly, Zi Liyuan hadn’t planned on leaving any survivors, which allowed for a less humane approach to interrogation, making the process much easier.

Next up was hunting the prime target.

He really didn’t expect that Gui Tianyangyi could be so tolerant, hiding at the entrance of the cave, perfectly disguised as a rock, not moving an inch, even if it killed him.

Why say “even if it killed him”?

Because Zi Liyuan, on purpose, had a Wraith Mage throw a high-powered exploding dark fireball at the cave entrance.

The spell required a build-up of power, so it was incredibly potent.

The explosion reached Gui Tianyangyi, yet he didn’t move at all.

Zi Liyuan, using the Eyes of Death, saw that Gui Tianyangyi’s life force decreased a bit in the blast, confirming he had been harmed, but didn’t see any damage numbers floating up.

This was very interesting. An item that could evade damage numbers would be a fantastic piece of equipment for any assassin if used correctly.

“Pretending, huh? Wait and see how you’ll keep up your act!”

Zi Liyuan, still over a hundred meters away, didn’t move closer but instead took out an Array Plate from his Spatial Backpack, and placing a Spiritual Power crystal into it.

He then released his most recently fused and mutated control skill towards the cave entrance—”Forbidden Magic Array”!

Under the cover of the Spirit, all elemental forces within the area were expelled.

In that moment, a radius of three thousand meters became a magic-forbidden zone!

“Little rascal, you’re from the Yinyang Holy Palace, right? Now that the magic-forbidden zone is established, let’s see how you manage to use your Yin-Yang Techniques!”

Xu Fu defected and took the Yin-Yang Techniques to the Wokou country, then established the Yinyang Holy Palace.

It can be said that any Wokou emerging from the Yinyang Holy Palace, once they enter the territory of the Great Xia Empire, will appear on the Empire’s military hit list.

This was because Xu Fu’s actions had caused great trouble to the newly established Great Xia Empire back then.

Zi Liyuan felt all the elements around him being expelled, his lips curling into a smirk.

Then, without any hesitation, he began to cast his spell.

Elemental Arrow is a skill of silver hero quality, one that exceeds the limitations of the Forbidden Magic Array.

The various elements that had just been expelled came rushing back, condensing into a multi-colored arrow radiating dazzling light right in front of Zi Liyuan.

As the casting concluded, the arrow transformed into a streak of light, shooting forth like a rainbow lightning bolt.

Almost instantly, it crossed the distance of a hundred meters, striking directly at the rock that Gui Tianyangyi had disguised himself as!

A thunderous explosion sounded, shattering the cave entrance into flying rubble.

“Ah…”

A miserable scream followed by a “splat”, and a short, thin figure fell headfirst from the top of the cave, performing a faceplant masterpiece for Zi Liyuan’s viewing.

At this moment, Gui Tianyangyi was dressed in tattered robes like a beggar’s outfit, with charred marks all over his exposed skin.
