Chapter 528: Insane Old Witch

After instructing the Dark Dragon King, Corpse Wizard King, and the rest of the group to clean up the battlefield, Yang Ling headed straight for the Teleportation Formation on McKenzie Island, disappointingly realizing that the Teleportation Formation cannot be used to get them directly to Evil Demon Island. It was clear that just as Figo had said, the Sea Demons guarding Evil Demon Island had already caught wind of the news and shut down the Teleportation Formation leading to McKenzie Island.
The plan of launching a surprise attack on Evil Demon Island has failed, and he had no choice but to change it into a forceful invasion. However, there were several pieces of good news in other areas.
According to the statements of a few Sealmen, the army of the Sea Demon King had only surrounded the headquarters of the Dark Association at Balark City for the time being and had not truly launched an attack. After realizing that their old nest at the Evil Demon Island was under threat and that the five Teleportation Formations along the way are rendered unusable, the resolve of the Sea Demon King’s army will definitely waver. That will relieve the Dark Association of some pressure.
Furthermore, after he moved tens of thousands of ordinary members of the Sea Tribes from McKenzie Island into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, he had completely shaken the faith of the many Sea Tribes. To free their tribes from the control of Evil Demon Island, as well as to seize a piece of territory in the ocean of the Wizard Pagoda’s Space as soon as possible, the Sea Tribes voluntarily requested to participate in the attack of Evil Demon Island, prepared to move all of their members living around the perimeter of Evil Demon Island into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space and permanently live there.
Whoosh…
After resting for half a day and setting up a large-scale restriction on McKenzie Island to guarantee a path of retreat, Yang Ling flew up into the air and rushed quickly toward Evil Demon Island five thousand miles away, gliding through the air like a comet. After having advanced to the divine level, he could fly in the air without the help of any Magical Beasts. He was fast, slightly faster than even the Dark Dragon King.
Balark City, where the Dark Association was located, was a great distance away from Evil Demon Island. Without the Teleportation Formations, Yang Ling believed that the Sea Demon King would not be able to rush back in time to provide reinforcements no matter how strong he was. Of course, to prevent any accidents, it was better for him to think of ways to topple Evil Demon Island as soon as possible.
After passing through an unnamed uninhabited island, Yang Ling stopped to rest for a moment. He consumed a handful of Magical Beast Blood Orbs to replenish the Wizard Power and mental energy he had spent and set up a restriction on the island. He then set up a small Teleportation Formation. Even though he could fly in the air after having advanced to the divine level, but he had to expend a great deal of Wizard Power and mental energy the faster and further he flew.
Rumble…
Just as Yang Ling was about to leave and continue his journey quickly toward Evil Demon Island, the waters of the ocean nearby suddenly rumbled. Following that, a group of dragon-shaped Magical Beasts emerged from under the crashing waves. They had two wings on their backs, their physique not much larger than an ordinary Dark Dragon. They were covered in silver scales.
Sea Dragons?
Remembering what Figo had said about the Sea Dragons guarding Evil Demon Island, Yang Ling did not dare to be careless. He quickly unleashed his Ice-sealing Domain and conjured a rotating Ice Wind Storm to protect his body.
“Tsk tsk, I had thought that the so-called Great Demon King had three heads and six limbs. To think that he is just a despicable human!” A Sea Demon with a wrinkled complexion rode on the largest Sea Dragon, looking down at Yang Ling with a belittling gaze from above. Her tone was shrill and sharp, which made Yang Ling think that she was an old witch.
“At the very least, I am much more powerful than an old monster with waterways on her face!” Yang Ling smiled, feigning hesitation as he said, “However, I can’t understand something. Even though the mother demon gave birth to the both of you, why is a monster like you so different from Eliza, could it be a male and female?”
A mother demon gave birth to us, one male and the other female?
After a temporary silence, the Sea Dragons stifled their laughter, while the wrinkled old lady trembled in fury, “You… You bastard, I will kill you! Space Bind, go, and die!”
In her fury, the old lady muttered to herself and waved her hands to release a dark light, enveloping a radius of several miles. In that instant, Yang Ling sensed a strange ripple of energy in the air. That sinister sensation was as if a poisonous snake was approaching him. His speed became greatly limited, and even worse, the radius of his Divine Knowledge became drastically smaller. He instantly lost his connection with the Wizard Pagoda’s Space.
Soul Restriction?
In his alarm, Yang Ling tilted his body to avoid the heavy attack of a Sea Dragon. The old lady’s domain was extremely strange. It did not attack his soul, but instead greatly limited the sensory radius of his Divine Knowledge and perception, forcefully severing his connection with the outside world. It was rather similar to the Soul Restriction recorded on the stele.
“Hahaha, there’s no way you can escape now that you are in my Space Bind!” Seeing the many Sea Dragons attacking Yang Ling, who was dodging from side to side, the old witch cackled loudly, “Hand over Eliza as soon as possible, or I’ll make your life worse than death. I’ll subject you to the eighteen methods of torture back on Evil Demon Island!”
The old witch cackled loudly, full of confidence in her Space Bind. She had unintentionally found this mysterious spell in an ancient relic at the bottom of the ocean a few thousand years ago. Over the years, both the Crab King or the powerful Sea Dragon King, who lorded over the seas, were not able to escape after falling into her Space Bind. In her eyes, the so-called Great Demon King Yang Ling, who was only a Low-level Deity, was no exception.
Space Bind, coupled with the powerful Sea Dragons, was enough to kill the detestable Yang Ling several times over.
“Ice Wind Storm!” Yang Ling let out a violent cry, turning his body to dodge the attacks of several Sea Dragons before charging straight for the old witch riding on the Sea Dragon King.
Whoosh…
The Ice Wind Storm, which harbored a soul attack spread outward, heading straight toward the old witch’s head. It was fast as lightning, bringing with it a deafening sonic boom.
Ah…
The petite old witch clenched tightly onto the body of the Sea Demon King, narrowly avoiding the terrifying Ice Wind Storm. However, the Sea Dragon behind her that had been unable to dodge the attack in time was in trouble. A sore-like wound appeared on its head, and fresh blood splattered out. It fell from the sky after letting out a pitiful cry. It crashed onto the surface of the sea, motionlessly swept along by the waves.
One move was enough to kill!
The old witch was shocked to see Yang Ling kill a Sea Dragon with abilities at the level of a Domain Expert with one hit, realizing that the reputation of Yang Ling as a Great Demon King was not just for show. She instructed the many Sea Dragons to attack with all their might, “Quick, attack together, kill him!”
Roar…
Tens of Sea Dragons roared loudly and unleashed a ferocious attack on Yang Ling. They glided through the air with their giant claws aimed straight toward Yang Ling’s vital points, their speed unparalleled. Under the limitation of the Space Bind, Yang Ling’s Divine Knowledge and speed were drastically restricted, while the converse was true for the Sea Dragons. Not only did their speed not decrease, but they could also even use the thick black vapor to hide their bodies, giving them a boost in power.
Boom…
A Sea Dragon craftily launched a surprise attack after hiding at the side, fiercely throwing its claw towards Yang Ling’s chest. It had thought that it could slice open a huge wound on his chest, or even directly gouge Yang Ling’s heart out. Unexpectedly, the sharp dragon claw seemed to have crashed into a sturdy steel board, merely slicing open Yang Ling’s shirt and leaving a faint mark on Yang Ling’s naked chest.
After been strengthened time and time again under the effects of the Body Honing Wizard Mantra, the defenses of his physical body have reached a terrifying state even though he was still a great distance from the level of a top-notch Wizard Warrior recorded on the stele. If even the sharp giant claws of the Dark Dragon King was not able to penetrate Yang Ling’s physical defenses even without him wearing the Ice-sealing Armor or casting Ground Guardian, how would a mere Sea Dragon be able to injure him?
Not good!
After being unable to severely injure Yang Ling with its best efforts, the Sea Dragon, who had launched the surprise attack, became alarmed, instinctively pulling his body back in retreat. Unfortunately, it was one step too late!
Crackle…
Yang Ling’s fist produced an ear-piercing crackle before fiercely being planted onto the back of the Sea Dragon’s head. The fist tore open its scales and snapped its bones. His entire right arm followed through with the impact, completely penetrating the head of the Sea Dragon. His thick fist came out directly through the throat of the Sea Dragon.
After letting out a pitiful wail, not only did the Sea Dragon fail in its surprise attack, it instead got killed on the spot, fresh blood, and brain matter splattering out of its wound!
Demon King, he is indeed a terrifying Demon King!
Witnessing this terrifying scene, the Sea Dragons who had been prepared to surround and attack Yang Ling turned to retreat. The strength of Yang Ling’s body and his terrifying abilities was far from what they had imagined. All this time, the Sea Dragons had been extremely proud of their powerful bodies. In their eyes, an ordinary member of the Sea Tribe or Magical Beast was no different from a weak ant.
They only realized how much of a difference there was when they saw how powerful Yang Ling was!
How powerful must his body be, to be able to take the claw of a Sea Dragon with abilities at the peak of Domain Expert head on! How terrifying must his strength be, to be able to penetrate the skull of a Sea Dragon with his bare fist! Even the Sea Dragon King, who was just one step away from advancing to the divine level, had to admit that he could not reach such a terrifying state even after training a hundred years, or even a thousand years more, much less an ordinary Sea Dragon!
“The Magical Beast Territory does not have eighteen forms of torture, but no one has ever seen such an awful looking thousand-year-old Sea Demon. If I strip an androgynous old witch like you and release you at the Magical Beast Plaza, I’ll definitely attract the attention of everyone in my territory. They’ll want to catch a glimpse of you even if it costs them money.
Yang Ling’s speed was considerably slower under the effects of the so-called Space Bind. However, even if that was the case, he did not pale in comparison with the Sea Dragons. In fact, he might still be a little faster! The Sea Dragons were the guardians of the Evil Demon Island, and the old witch who could command the Sea Dragon King must be a figure of authority. Killing an old monster like this will definitely impact the guards in Evil Demon Island considerably. Of course, it would be even better if he could capture her alive!
Strip her and make people pay to catch a glimpse?
The old witch trembled in fury. On an average day, even the powerful Sea Dragon King had to be respectful toward her, not daring to breathe around her, much less an ordinary member of the Sea Tribes. To think that Yang Ling would disregard her like this! She had wanted to be arrogant around Yang Ling after leading a large group of Sea Dragons to ambush him. She did not expect to have encountered a person who was even more arrogant than she was!
“Bastards, why are you still not using your Draconic Magic? Crush him, burn him, drown him with water…” In her fury, the old witch used her magical staff as a torch, hitting the head of the Sea Dragon King under her, ordering him to risk his life to deal with Yang Ling.
In her eyes, Yang Ling was a true Great Demon King. If she did not kill him now, she might have died in anger even before she gets killed by him!
