"Patriarch Matthews really likes to joke, so many of us came to the Demon Slayer Valley, of course, to get some things back, otherwise could it be that we are here to enjoy the mountains and rivers?"

Lin Li always had a polite smile on his face, and the words that came out of his mouth were even more tepid, anyone who saw it would probably think that he was gossiping with an old friend.

Only old Merlin wouldn't think so...... Because the place where he is floating now is only a hundred meters away from the opponent, he can clearly feel that a violent magic fluctuation is emanating from the young magician, this is an incomparably powerful force, although the old Merlin has some psychological preparation, but at this time he feels it personally, he still can't help but feel terrified, this power is too powerful, so strong that he has a feeling of being breathless, on the edge of magic fluctuations, but it is like facing a giant dragon.

"It's terrible...... old Merlin's heart gradually sank, he knew that the growth of this young magician had completely exceeded his imagination.

Although as early as when Garros was around, he knew that this young magician's talent was amazing, and one day, he would definitely reach a terrifying height, but he never thought that this day would come so quickly, and in just a few months, he would grow from an eighth-level magician to a terrifying existence that even he couldn't compete with...... "Hey......" Old Merlin sighed softly, for the first time, he felt that he had really done something wrong, he knew that it would be such an ending, and he should have taken care of Cromwell in the first place, If he is not allowed to provoke the Emerald Tower, let alone provoke this terrible young magician, then everything after that will naturally not happen, although the pace of the Emerald Tower's domination of Garros cannot be reversed, but at least, the Merlin family can survive, and Cromwell will not die in Dawn Square...... It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now.

The Merlin family has decayed, Cromwell has died, and even himself has to throw himself into the nest of shadows, and everything is a foregone conclusion.

Old Merlin's expression of remorse flickered slightly, and when he looked up again, his eyes were already full of determination, now that everything was done, all he had to do was defeat the young magician, repel the attack of the Emerald Tower, and then with the help of the Nest of Shadows, restore the Merlin family's former glory, this was his only chance - although this opportunity was almost negligible...... The magic fluctuations on the two of them exploded almost at the same time, and in that instant, as if a gust of wind suddenly blew, the two black robes bulged up at the same time, and the surging magic fluctuations rose up, and the air above the Demon Slayer Valley seemed to be boiling.

Old Merlin's incantation was extremely hoarse, and at this time, even he had to admit that he really didn't even have the slightest certainty in the face of this terrifying young magician.

This battle may be the most uncertain one in Old Merlin's life, when he was in Garros, even in the face of Gray, he always believed that all he needed was a little luck, but now, Old Merlin knew that he needed many, many more than luck...... Because, he had already seen, a curtain of aqua blue light was rising over the young magician.

Old Merlin knew that it was the Source Water Shield—it was the Source Water Shield that belonged to the Sixteenth-level Great Magician...... Old Merlin was thinking about something, Lin Li didn't care at all, at this time, he was under the protection of the source water shield, chanting the spell intently, a spell of frost touch gurgling in the air...... The two of them chanted the incantation almost at the same time.

A touch of frost, a storm of flames, in an instant, two completely different powers, one ice and one fire, stirred up a dazzling light in the sky above the Demon Slayer Valley, flying snowflakes, scattered flames, crystal ice blue, brilliant fire red, the two lights were tightly entangled, and suddenly created a dreamlike color.

This old and young are all great magicians, and their understanding of the rules of magic is far above that of ordinary magicians, in the eyes of everyone, the casting speed of these two people is simply amazing, just in the blink of an eye, the two of them have made several offensive and defensive switches.

Whether it is the old Merlin, who has been famous for decades, or the young magician who shocked the entire Garros, the strength shown in this battle has reached a breathtaking height, this is definitely the highest level of battle in Garros in recent decades, almost every magician looked at the sky dumbfounded, looking at the two figures that were moving quickly...... "Damn, it's really a great magician...... Grean swallowed his saliva with difficulty, this time he really understood, The kid who was floating above the Demon Slayer Valley had indeed broken through the realm of the Great Magister, and that one levitation technique had nothing to do with equipment, nothing to do with potions, it was purely the power of the Great Magus himself!

Moreover, he is also a sixteenth-level archmage...... The thought of this made Grean a little crazy.

Damn, what the hell is this?

Why did Lao Tzu study magic for decades, and now he is only a fifteenth-level archmage, why is this little rabbit cub only able to break through the sixteenth-level archmage after only two months in Orana? Look at the battle over the Demon Slayer Valley, Matthews, who was on par with Lao Tzu back then, didn't even have the strength to fight back under this little rabbit cub...... What the hell is this...... "What the is this world......" Gray scolded angrily, venting his dissatisfaction on the thieves of the Nest of Shadows.

After Lin Li flew into the sky to face Old Merlin, the command power naturally fell into the hands of Gray's hand, and at this time, the middle-aged fat man was waving his hands excitedly, and commanded the magicians behind him hoarsely, carrying out indiscriminate magic strikes again and again on the Demon Slayer Valley below.

All of a sudden, the smoke in the Demon Slayer Valley was filled, and the surging magic elements were like a flood that had broken through the floodgates, frantically impacting everything in the Demon Slaying Valley, the storm and the flames, the thunder and the frost, at this moment, it seemed to suddenly boil, and under the magic bombardment one after another, the entire Demon Slayer Valley could no longer find a complete piece of land.

As many as hundreds of magicians, once they occupy the geographical advantage, the power that erupts can definitely be described as terrifying, countless magic fell from the cliff, turning the entire demon slayer valley over, the sentry towers turned into ashes in the firelight, the tents were condensed into ice, and as for the members of the Shadow Nest who were scattered and fled, they often ran and ran, and found that their heads and necks were separated...... This is a rough and brutal battle, there is no sneak attack or detour, some just stand there in the open, and release the magic they are good at one after another, this is an extremely simple process, even the magic apprentices who have not broken through the fifth level can do it, but when hundreds of magicians do it at the same time, it becomes extremely terrifying...... "This is simply ridiculous......" Ronald desperately supported his fighting spirit, barely ensuring that he was not hurt by magic, but the subordinates beside him, But they fell one after another, there was no way, the other party's magic blows were too dense, and there were no dead ends in the Demon Slayer Valley, the only thing he could do was to watch them fall...... Ronald hadn't thought of fighting back, in fact, from the very beginning of the battle, he had sent a squad of thieves to sneak up the cliffs in the hope that they would infiltrate the mage's phalanx and cause chaos with assassinations - just like he had done when he attacked the Valley of the Demons, but unfortunately, trying all things to do today seems ridiculous.

Nearly thirty thieves, as soon as they sneaked out of the valley, were wiped out, hundreds of wind blades swept by, tearing apart the air and their bodies, and in an instant, all they saw blood and stumps all over the ground.

At this time, Ronald really couldn't cry, he really wanted to ask, which bastard was like such a boring attack?

Damn, does this bastard really think this is a child's house? It's completely unreasonable, relying on the fact that there are hundreds of magicians under his command, he pressed to the gate of the Demon Slayer Valley with great fanfare, and used this almost child's play tactic to blast it there, damn, do you know what tactics are, do you understand what is a combination of arms, and do you understand what is a roundabout outflanking?

"Damn, the dog doesn't understand anything, and he can still make Lao Tzu breathless......" Ronald was so angry that he vomited blood, but there was nothing he could do but watch as the group of damn magicians blasted the Demon Slayer Valley into a scorched earth.

At this time, Ronald really has no way at all, the only thing he can count on is probably only the old Merlin floating in the sky, he can only hope that the old Merlin will kill that Ferre as soon as possible, and then quickly pull out to help himself, without the magic help of the old Merlin, the thieves and warriors under his own hands, under the suppression of the magician, can't even lift their heads at all.

Actually, old Merlin really wanted to take time out to help him.

It's a pity that the current old Merlin can't even protect himself, so how can he have the strength to pull out?

Gray's vision is indeed very poisonous, although at the beginning of the battle, Old Merlin can still fight with Ferre undefeated, but at that time, Gray's eyes have already seen that this great magician, who is on par with himself, has no power to fight back in front of Ferrey.

And this is indeed the case, it only took Lin Li a minute to prove that Grean was really not wrong.

Just when Old Merlin shot a burning fireball, but could only make the source water shield ripple in circles, Lin Li went against the previous spell casting rules, instead of returning the color immediately, he used the levitation technique to make himself retreat quickly, and then, a magic feedback shot...... "Oops! Old Merlin's mouth just opened, the expression on his face suddenly froze, at this moment, Old Merlin only felt a chill rising from his back, making his whole person seem to have fallen into an ice cave, he never thought that there was such a terrible spell casting technique in this world, this is just like the legendary prophet of the future, from the beginning of his own chanting, the flow of magic power is cut off, the whole process will definitely not exceed a tenth of a second, this is simply as if it was rehearsed in advance...... The moment the flow of magic was cut off, Old Merlin's face suddenly turned pale.

Although the previous battle was difficult, after all, he maintained an undefeated streak, but with this magic feedback, he couldn't even maintain the apparent balance of power.

Old Merlin stared at Lin Li with a pair of eyes, his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, at this time, the only thing he could do was to make a desperate bet, only to see that Old Merlin was supported by the flotation technique, desperately retreated nearly ten meters, and then quickly took out a scroll from his pocket with one hand...... "Hell!" Originally, Gray was excitedly directing a group of magicians to bombard indiscriminately, but at the moment when Old Merlin took out the scroll, the middle-aged fat man suddenly came out with a foul language, which made a group of magicians around him stunned for a moment.

"Damn, this old immortal is really shameless!"

The scroll that Old Merlin took out may not be known to ordinary magicians, but how could Grean not know? That was the Soul Storm Scroll that was bought at a low price by the Merlin family when the Emerald Tower was down!

Even if the Emerald Tower has now unified the entire Garros, when Gray and Ryan see this Psychic Storm Scroll again, he still can't help but swear, this is one of the most valuable magical items in the Emerald Tower's collection, and the transcription on it is up to the eighteenth level of Psychic Storm magic, the most terrifying thing is that this scroll has undergone special treatment, which can be triggered by any great magician, as long as he has sufficient magic power, he can always maintain the effect of Psychic Storm, Until the last vestige of the enemy's mana is burned out...... "Damn, Ferre is in trouble......"

Gray was anxious, he really wanted to be able to immediately cast the levitation technique, fly to the sky above the Demon Slayer Valley to stop the old Merlin, but unfortunately, the magic collapsed, let alone the levitation technique, even putting a wind blade seemed too reluctant, at this time, the only thing Grean could do was probably to put his hands to his mouth, desperately shouting to Lin Li, who was chanting a spell in a low voice: "Quick, Ferry, stop the old immortal, can't let him open the scroll!" ”

Unfortunately, Lin Li couldn't hear what he was shouting at all, and he was just concentrating on chanting the incantation of the Flame Explosion Technique.

Immediately after, the scroll in the hand of the old Merlin turned into a dazzling golden light, and in an instant, it enveloped Lin Li's entire person, at this time, if you are a little more careful, you must be able to see very clearly that between the two great magicians, there seems to be a golden silk thread, which is faintly flickering...... This is the sign of guiding magic...... "It's over......" Gray's fat face suddenly turned pale, the power of the mental storm, he really knows it very well, once this dazzling golden light is covered, it will definitely devour the magic power of any magician within ten seconds, even if Fei Lei, a monster with almost infinite magic power, will definitely not be spared under this eighteenth-level magic, the only difference, I'm afraid it can only be a little longer, but what difference is this? Whether it's ten seconds or twenty seconds, as long as Old Merlin's guidance is not interrupted, it is only a matter of time before the magic power is completely devoured, and the longer the time drags on, it is nothing more than adding more pain...... The only way, I'm afraid, is to interrupt Old Merlin's guidance.

But Psychic Storm is an eighteenth-level magic, how can it be so easily interrupted? You know, in addition to burning magic power, the psychic storm itself has a forbidden effect, and under the shroud of the psychic storm, even if it is as strong as Fei Lei, it will never have the opportunity to cast spells, and if you can't cast spells, how can you interrupt the guidance of old Merlin, do you poke it with your fingers?

And then...... Lin Li answered Gray's question with a simple action.

I saw that he was shrouded in golden light, but he didn't look flustered at all, and even had a little smile on his face, as if the magic power that was rapidly draining had nothing to do with him, at this time, Lin Li only made one action, that is, he gently raised the Firmament Staff in his hand...... In that moment, Gray seemed to see that the gem at the top of the staff seemed to shimmer with a faint yellow light.

Immediately after, the dazzling golden light suddenly became dim, like ice and snow in the sun, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Hey......" While Grean was dumbfounded, Old Merlin sighed softly, he knew that the last chance was also buried by himself, in front of this great magician as high as level sixteen, the magical power that he was proud of was so weak, he couldn't resist and couldn't escape, and even the desperate Mind Storm Scroll was like a child's trick in the eyes of the other party.

"It's a pity, Patriarch Matthews......" Lin Li still had a relaxed smile on his face, but the chanting of the spell was fast and urgent, and at the moment when the golden light dissipated, a flame explosion technique had already blasted out with a long tail flame...... "Boom!"

There was a heavy and heavy muffled sound, even if it was hundreds of meters away, everyone could hear it clearly, the flying firelight, the raging flames, lost the protection of the elemental shield, Old Merlin looked so weak under the fire explosion technique, almost at the moment when the fire explosion technique hit, his whole body burned, there was no struggle, no scream, the whole person was like a fireball, straight down to the land of the Demon Slayer Valley...... "......" Gray Ryan looked at the falling fireball in a daze, for a while, The mood is extremely complicated, Matthews, who single-handedly brought the Merlin family to glory, Matthews, who was once called the strongest magician in Garros with himself, died without warning...... The magic attack on the cliff suddenly stopped, and everyone's eyes fell on the burning fireball, especially the leaders of the sixteen forces, who all felt that their feet were weak, and the scene that had just happened really frightened them, the patriarch of the Merlin family, the old Merlin, who was as powerful as Gray's, didn't even have the ability to fight back in front of Ferrey Magician, and the whole battle was not shocked, from the beginning to the end, it seemed so logical, as if this young man, It should have been easy to kill Garros' strongest magician...... "Damn, retreat!" "Old Merlin's death, like the last straw on the camel's body, finally made Ronald collapse, and now the entire Demon Slayer Valley is under magical attack, and the most powerful magician in his hand has died in an unknown way, Ronald knows that he has lost, and he has lost completely...... At this time, retreat is the only option.

Although the Demon Slayer Valley is rich, it is not worth exchanging the surnames of all the brothers.

No matter how strong the Nest of Shadows is, it can't compete with the entire Garros City, not to mention, there is a hellish Ferre magician on the other side, damn, how did this monster come out, not only brought the entire Garros magician, but also killed Old Merlin with a single move, is he really a legendary monster wearing human skin?

It's a pity that there is no time for Ronald to think more.

At the same time that Old Merlin turned into a ball of fire and fell from the sky, Ronald gave the order to retreat.

This "retreat" has just spread, and immediately got everyone's response, hundreds of thieves poured out from all directions, just like rabbits that are being chased by fierce beasts, scrambling to flee in the direction of the whispering forest, the whole scene seems chaotic and embarrassed, scrambling and trampling is happening at any time, in this rush to escape, I don't know how many thieves with poor physical strength died at the feet of their companions...... "Want to run?" Lin Li floated quietly in the sky, watching every move in the Demon Slayer Valley with an almost cruel gaze.

After bringing so many people to the Demon Slayer Valley, what Lin Li wanted, how could it be so simple as driving away the Nest of Shadows?

In this world, there is never a shortage of ambitious forces, and today there can be a nest of shadows, so who dares to guarantee that there will not be another nest of light tomorrow? Dealing with such forces, Lin Li has always had a lot of experience, the only feasible way is to beat them once and be afraid of the pain, so that they still feel their scalps numb when they think about it after hundreds of years, only in this way can those forces with ill intentions towards the Emerald Tower think about it before they start, and whether they can really afford the price of provoking the Emerald Tower...... I don't know why, when Lin Li was floating in the sky, he suddenly understood Osric...... However, Lin Li was not in a hurry to make a move, he just indulged in the levitation technique, allowing himself to follow the defeated soldiers of the Shadow Nest unhurriedly, Lin Li remembered that Aaron Marcis had told him that there seemed to be a rushing river not far ahead
