Chapter 680: The Death of the Old Witch King
As expected by the three university sects, when the three new Witch Kings appeared on the battlefield, the morale of the coalition forces was significantly improved, and even the leaders of the major forces expressed goodwill to them.
The three leaders of the Spirit Tribe did not make any immediate move. Instead, they hid their auras and cooperated with the commander of the coalition forces. When the vine giant of the fungus man entered the formation, he suddenly burst out. The three wizard kings surrounded him and trapped him in one fell swoop.
Kill the vine giant.
The mushroom man was frightened and quickly retreated. The old wizard king made a decisive decision and clung to the other seventh-level lava mushroom man. He endured the violent bombardment of three emperor-level mushroom men despite being injured, and finally killed three new wizard kings.
The vine giant then freed up his hands and left the second Mushroom Emperor-level expert on the battlefield. He captured him alive and trapped him with a special witch formation.
On the occasion of this great victory, the coalition forces swept away their previously low morale and surged, and the reputation of the three of them increased instantly.
They did not waste this surge in morale and reputation. After discussing with the commander of the coalition forces, they launched a full-scale counterattack. They swept across the entire small world in one breath and killed the mushroom people in front of the last fortress in this world in only half a year.
There are masters among the Sons of the Spiritual Realm when it comes to controlling emotions. Through the battle, they constantly suppressed the morale of the wizard coalition and Lin Xiao's reputation. They suppressed it until it reached the bottom and then suddenly exploded, establishing a huge reputation among the coalition in one fell swoop.
During these six months, they did not just counterattack. During this period, they kept in contact with the leaders of the major forces. They made no secret of their ambition to replace the former Witch King and made bold promises to win over the major forces.
Even if they can't be won over, they will be given enough benefits to keep them neutral, or it will be enough to give them a break at a critical moment.
If we ask them to rebel against the current Witch King, many major forces will not agree, but if they just remain neutral or slow down at critical times, most forces will agree.
After all, he has only been the Witch King for a short time, and his relationship with the major forces is not much better.
Strictly speaking, these three sects have been established in this world for thousands of years and have a certain relationship with the major forces themselves. However, it has only been a few hundred years since Lin Xiaoman's arrival.
He spends part of his time in the world of Neptune. To all the forces, he is actually a sudden outsider.
If it weren't for the fact that the old Witch King was about to run out of life, he would have been the only new Witch King to take on this great responsibility. As long as there were other seventh-level powerful men, the position of Witch King would never have been his turn.
so.....
In the Witch King's Tower, Lin Xiao, who had finished his retreat, sat quietly in the center of the star observatory. In front of him was the projection of the old Witch King. He picked up the refreshing tea on the crystal coffee table in front of him and took a sip, put down the tea cup and said with a smile:
"So, the three of them have plans to replace me?"
He smiled and poured another cup of refreshing tea, drank it slowly, and said leisurely:
"Well, Haocha, this is normal. Normal people have ambitions. It's not surprising. The three sects of them are in the same spirit and must want to seize my position as a lonely outsider. I already know it, but you, your Excellency,
Does your injury matter?"
The old Witch King also held up a cup of refreshing tea in front of him, and with a slight sip, a white mist rose from the tea on the surface of the cup, and quickly rolled into a tornado of white mist that flew into his nose, and soon a large puff of it flew into his nose.
The white mist tornado was sucked away, and the tea in the cup disappeared.
Taking a breath of white air, the old Witch King said:
"The severity of my injury is not important. Anyway, I am old and don't have a few more years to live. But if they want to take your position, there will definitely be a dispute. This is a loss for this world."
Lin Xiao's eyes fell on the delicate tea cup in front of him, turned around, and suddenly answered something unexpected:
"Guess, your Excellency, if I fight with them, who will win and who will lose?"
The old Witch King thought for a while and said:
"Normally speaking, they have a better chance of winning, but for some reason, I always feel that you don't look like you will lose. Although I'm not here in person, the Witch King Tower also has a witch formation that suppresses perception. I can't sense your strength now, but this time
Sitting in front of you at this moment, I don’t know why I feel like I’m having heart palpitations.”
Speaking of this, the old wizard king looked at Lin Xiao seriously and asked:
"Tell me, did you have a breakthrough?"
Lin Xiao smiled slightly and nodded:
"I have successfully condensed my second true body!"
The old Witch King's pupils suddenly swelled, and his eyes were full of disbelief as he said:
"Isn't it about advancing to the eighth level and condensing the second true body?"
"I made it very clear!"
The worry in the eyes of the old Witch King was instantly wiped away. He poured himself a cup of refreshing tea and drank it. His whole body seemed to feel much more relaxed. After drinking, he smacked his lips and said with a smile:
"That being the case, I'm relieved."
He didn't ask how he got promoted at all. As a boss who has lived for more than 200,000 years, he still knew some taboos. Unless he said it himself, he could never ask.
But you can ask other questions, and after chatting for a few words, the old Witch King suddenly asked as if he had thought of something:
"By the way, you went to the Emerald Dream before to help Lord Tishar suppress the balance of the Emerald Dream. What's going on now? Why can't I feel her presence with the Emerald Dream?"
"this...."
Lin Xiao was startled for a moment, drank the refreshing tea in his mouth, raised his head and said:
"Before that, there is one thing I want to tell you. Tishar is now my wife."
This time it was the old Witch King's turn to be stunned, and he was stunned for quite a long time. It took him a long time to recover, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes, and he said:
"I see."
Lin Xiao didn't care about the old Witch King's strangeness. There was nothing to say. With the Jade Queen's beauty and temperament, any man would fall in love with her. It was normal for the Old Witch King to fall in love with her after knowing her for so long.
Just like a beautiful woman on the street will definitely attract the attention of a man passing by, he will not be angry just because others take a look at her.
He continued:
"The Emerald Dream has disappeared. She has now merged with another self in the depths of the Emerald Dream, and has now turned into a mark and left it on my body."
At their level, most things can be understood at a glance. There is no need for him to explain it in words. The old Witch King can understand it as soon as he hears it.
After hearing him let out a long sigh, he said to him seriously:
"Protect her well!"
He nodded seriously:
"I will."
There was a long silence, and the two kept drinking tea. After a while, the old Witch King came to his senses and said to him:
"What do you need from me?"
Lin Xiao knew what he was referring to, shook his head and said:
"There are only three people who have just been promoted to the seventh level. Do you think I will be afraid?"
Even if there are three of them together, he can easily suppress them. The second real form is so confident.
"But I do need your help with something."
"What's up?"
"I can't stay in this world for long. I still have very important things to do. Originally, I was planning to wait for thousands of years for the new guardian to arrive before passing on the throne, but now the plan can't keep up with the change. I have already condensed it twice.
My real body is strong enough to do something, so I need to leave, but the position of the Witch King cannot remain vacant, and I don’t want to take advantage of the Eldar people, so I need a new guardian to take over my position.”
"this...."
The old Witch King frowned and shook his head:
"I can't help you with this matter. I only have a lifespan of a few hundred years. After this injury, I can only live less than a hundred years. I can't take over. There is no new guardian born in this world. I'm afraid..."
"No, you can."
"???"
The old Witch King looked puzzled.
Lin Xiao said:
"I have a secret method that can strip you of all your current power, allowing your soul to retain its existing memories and reincarnate again. When you reincarnate, I will give you all your current power. It will only take a few decades for you to be reincarnated.
If you can advance to the seventh level and become a guardian, you can return to the eighth level in less than a hundred years, enough to live for hundreds of thousands of years, and maybe even one step further in the future."
This might have been a bit troublesome in the past, but after being promoted to the second real body, Lin Xiao's strength is by no means inferior to any powerful divine power, and he has mastered the corresponding priesthood...
Well, now it's called a law.
Especially now that he has mastered half of the laws of time, plus he is the chief guardian of the world, and the old Witch King himself is the former guardian, it is almost effortless to operate it.
Although the old Witch King knew his destiny and was ready to die, he was still in a daze when he suddenly heard the news that he could live again, and his uncontrollable desire for a new life continued.
This is human nature and anyone would be willing to do it.
"Without further ado, your true form can come back now."
Reincarnate early and take over the responsibility early, Lin Xiao himself can hardly wait.
However, the old Witch King was not as anxious as he was. He said:
"There's no need to be so anxious. This life is coming to an end anyway, so just let me burn my last strength and wait for me for a month!"
Lin Xiao understood what he meant and nodded.
The projection of the Old Witch King disintegrated, turning into starlight that filled the sky and merged into a beam of light, which disappeared into the void.
Half a month later, Lin Xiao received news from the front line that the old wizard king suddenly rushed into the mushroom camp. During the battle, he burned his own strength and mental power and exploded, severely injuring the two mushroom kings and three powerful men from the spirit tribe who were caught off guard.
Although it was a surprise, nothing happened, so he immediately took advantage of the situation and cooperated with the burning old wizard king to kill the two mushroom emperors on the battlefield in one fell swoop.
The coalition forces took advantage of the situation and launched an all-out attack, defeating the Fungus people in one fell swoop and capturing the Fungus people's portal base in this small world. Now the major forces are quickly mobilizing forces from the main world to prepare for an expedition against the Fungus people's home world.
But this has nothing to do with Lin Xiao and the old Witch King. After killing the two mushroom emperors, the old Witch King, who was seriously injured and dying, left the small world and returned to the main world.
Everyone knows that the old Witch King's move is to burn his remaining life to open up the situation for the main world. He will die after returning. After the news spread, all the forces of the ancient contract spontaneously mourned, even the three leaders of the Spiritual Tribe.
Every moment is filled with admiration.
Whether it is for his contribution or for the fact that he has protected the main world for more than 200,000 years, he deserves their admiration and respect.
