WHOOSH.
WHOOSH.
WHOOSH.
Lin Li raised his right hand, which was glowing with a faint golden Spiritual Light. Instantly, crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blades materialized one after another and shot toward the distant thieves, whose eyes were filled with panic.
Although the thieves were panicked, they had already braced themselves and were on high alert ever since they realized the refined-looking young man before them was a powerful Cultivator who had awakened the Wind Blade Superpower.
So, the moment Lin Li raised his hand and launched his series of crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blades, they immediately moved to defend themselves.
BANG.
BANG.
BANG.
The incoming Wind Blades were shattered one by one by the four thieves using weapons that glowed with Spiritual Light.
As the Wind Blades shattered, they produced a series of loud explosions, accompanied by powerful gusts of wind that blew in all directions.
Although the thieves had blocked Lin Liās volley of Wind Blades, there was not a trace of joy on their faces.
The power behind that last volley of Wind Blades had been too immense. Even though they had blocked them, the hands holding their weapons trembled uncontrollably. The tremendous recoil had clearly numbed their arms.
Moreover, none of their weapons were Spiritual Weapons. After infusing them with Spiritual Energy to block Lin Liās Wind Blades, cracks had appeared on the surfaces of their ordinary weapons.
"San, this guyās Wind Blade attacks are too strong! We wonāt be able to block a few more waves," a thief with a metal collar around his neck said to San, his voice trembling.
"Damn it! If the big boss were here, this guy wouldnāt dare act so arrogantly," said a thief at the high stage of Tier One.
"How about we split up and run?" the weakest thief suggested.
He knew he was the weakest of the four thieves present. If the enemy launched another round of attacks, he would surely be the first to fall.
He only suggested splitting up to save his own life, but his suggestion was immediately rejected by San.
"We canāt split up. If we do, heāll just pick us off one by one..." San said, his expression grave.
"Then what do we do now? We canāt just sit here and wait for death, letting him hit us with wave after wave of his Superpower!" the Tier One high-stage thief said.
"If we want to live, our only choice is to charge him and fight for our lives..." San said in a low voice after a moment of thought.
"..." The three underlings fell silent upon hearing Sanās words.
They knew that if they charged that terrifying enemy together, even if they were lucky enough to win, the casualties would be heavy. The one who survived would most likely not be them.
"Why the silence? Scared of dying, are you?" San was displeased when his three underlings kept their mouths shut after he made his suggestion.
"San, itās not that Iām scared of dying. I just think charging in head-on isnāt a good idea. Maybe we can think of something else," the weakest thief said, his eyes darting around.
"San, you know me. Iām not afraid of death. Itās just... I donāt think we can use our full combat strength if we just charge straight in," the thief with the metal collar chimed in.
The Tier One high-stage thief glanced over at Zhu Xinru and Guard Chenās position and said,
"San, theyāre right! If we charge now, the Zhu Family guard and that Eldest Miss Zhu will probably take the opportunity to attack us from behind..."
"You..." Seeing his three underlings come up with all sorts of excuses, unwilling to charge the enemy with him, San couldnāt help but feel his anger rising.
āThey can say a thousand things, but it all comes down to this: they talk tough, but theyāre scared to death.ā
āAll their fine-sounding excuses... arenāt they just afraid theyāll charge in and become a stepping stone for the others to survive? As if I couldnāt see through their petty little schemes.ā
Just as the four thieves were hesitating, Lin Li launched a second wave of Superpower attacks at them.
WHOOSH.
WHOOSH.
WHOOSH.
Crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blades, slightly larger than the first wave, tore through the air with a piercing sound, speeding toward the four thieves.
BANG.
BANG.
"AHH..."
This time, the four thieves hit by Lin Liās Superpower attack failed to block all the incoming Cyan Wind Blades like they had before.
The weakest thief was struck on the wrist of his weapon hand by a Cyan Wind Blade, and he immediately let out a bloodcurdling scream.
CLANG. With his wrist injured, he naturally couldnāt hold his weapon. The machete in his hand fell to the ground with a sharp sound.
"Itās come to this, and youāre still cowering! Donāt you see the situation weāre in? If we donāt charge him and fight for our lives, none of us will make it out alive!" San roared at his underlings.
"Brothers, San is right! If we hesitate any longer, we wonāt have a chance! If we charge and fight for our lives now, thereās still a sliver of hope!"
The weakest thief, now with an injured right wrist, said to his comrades as he bent down and used his left hand to pick up his fallen weapon.
The pain from his wrist made sweat bead on his forehead, but it also ignited his ferocity. After picking up his weapon, he immediately shot a vicious glare at the enemy who had injured him with his Superpower.
"Alright, letās go together! Weāll fight him to the death!" After hearing the words of both San and their injured comrade, the other two underlings also had their ferocity sparked and immediately voiced their support for Sanās desperate proposal.
"Once we take care of this bastard and capture that Eldest Miss Zhu, the big boss will definitely reward us handsomely with money and women! Brothers, with me!" Seeing that no one objected anymore, San immediately gave a pre-battle pep talk.
"KILL!" The three underlingsā blood boiled at Sanās words. Roaring in unison, they actually took the lead and charged toward Lin Li.
"Sir, weāre here to help you!" Seeing the thieves charge at Lin Li, Zhu Xinru immediately brought Guard Chen with her and rushed forward to provide support.
āToo bad the Magical Little Tree on the Mysterious Small Island only needs the flesh and blood of Mutant Beasts. Otherwise, these thieves...ā
Faced with the menacingly charging thieves, Lin Li remained calm. He raised his right hand, which was glowing with a faint golden Spiritual Light, and a crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade nearly half a meter long materialized.
The three underlings who had charged ahead turned pale with fright when they saw the enemy conjure such a large, crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade.
A Wind Blade that large was simply not something they could block.
"Oh no! San, we canāt block his Superpower attack! Youāll have to take it... Huh? San?"
Upon seeing Lin Li conjure a Giant Wind Blade, the three underlings instinctively called out for San, their strongest member.
But when their shouts received no response, they quickly turned to look behind them.
