Chapter 281 Smoke but No Injury
This [Soul-Destroying Death Ray] is the fastest and most concentrated in power, containing the core destructive laws of Dark Corruption City and Kael'thas's ultimate killing intent at this moment. It is a true killing blow!
Its aim is to penetrate all defenses and directly obliterate the soul!
In an instant, the energy torrent of [Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts] (covering an entire area), the Netherworld Bone Spear of [Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart] (penetrating at high speed), and the deadly ray of [Soul-Destroying Death Ray] (single-target ultimate attack) appeared!
The three attacks, almost indistinguishable in sequence yet distinct in their layers, form a near-perfect death trap capable of utterly tearing any enemy caught in it to shreds and annihilating their soul!
Kael'thas grinned savagely.
He could almost see Lin Tian's ridiculous pale blue shield shatter like a bubble under the triple destructive attack, and he could see Lin Tian and his clone being swallowed by the energy torrent, pierced by the bone spear, and annihilated by the death ray!
"Die! Die! This is the consequence of opposing the Abyss! This is the consequence of provoking me, Kael'thas!!"
He frantically channeled his power, maintaining the intensity of the triple attack, his dark red eyes filled with savage pleasure.
The torrent of energy engulfed everything, the explosions of bone spears and the roar of energy collisions resounded together, and the [Soul Annihilation Ray] struck its target, exploding into a blinding dark red ball of destruction!
The aftershocks of the attack raged, plunging the ground in that area several meters lower again. Smoke and dust mixed with chaotic energy surged into the sky, forming a huge, churning, chaotic region that completely obscured the view inside.
Kael'thas stopped casting spells, his chest rising and falling slightly. Launching such a fierce attack in succession, even with the energy support of the Thousand Soul Wall, had taken a heavy toll on his mental strength.
But he didn't care at all, he just stared intently at the area shrouded in smoke and energy turbulence, a victor's smile spreading across his face.
ended.
It's absolutely over.
No one could survive an attack of that magnitude!
Even a true level 85 or 90 powerhouse would be either killed or crippled if they took this attack head-on!
Not to mention that human?
"Hahaha...hahaha..." Kael'thas initially chuckled softly, but then his laughter grew louder and more arrogant, filled with the extreme joy of surviving a calamity and avenging a great grudge.
"Dead! Finally dead! No matter how bizarre your clones were, no matter how powerful your skills, before absolute power, you were ultimately nothing but an ant! Hahahaha!!"
He seemed to be venting all his previous fear, humiliation, and embarrassment through this laughter.
"Celia! My dear niece!"
Kael'thas turned his head to look at Celia, who was pale-faced and clenched her fists in the distance. His smile turned cruel and triumphant.
"See that? This is the backer you found? This is the consequence of betraying your family and the Abyss! Soon, you'll end up like him... No, I'll let you live, so you can watch as I ascend to an even higher throne using the complete [Abyss Blood Core]!"
He was smug, as if he had everything under control. The damage to Dark Eclipse City could be repaired slowly; as long as the [Abyssal Blood Core] was retrieved, all the costs would be worthwhile.
This strangely powerful human is dead. The greatest threat is eliminated. All that's left is to clean up the mess.
However, at the very moment when Kael'thas's laughter was at its most hearty and his emotions were at their peak—
The billowing dust and turbulent energy flow did not subside quickly as he had expected due to the loss of energy support. Instead, it began to contract and settle inward at an unnatural, slow pace.
It was as if something inside was absorbing this chaotic energy.
Kael'thas's laughter abruptly stopped.
His smile froze, his brows furrowed, and a hint of doubt and... a very subtle unease that even he himself was unwilling to admit flashed in his dark red eyes.
What's going on? The energy dissipation shouldn't have subsided so quickly... and this settling trend...
Immediately afterwards, a calm, clear voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, emerged like a ghost from the center of the thinning smoke, clearly penetrating Kael'thas's ears:
"Oh? You're done?"
The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry some strange power, causing Kael'thas's heart to clench violently!
"The noise was quite loud, and the smoke effects were pretty good."
The voice continued, its tone as relaxed as if it were commenting on a fireworks display that had nothing to do with it, "It almost reminded me of an ancient law..."
The smoke and dust continued to settle, revealing the blurry outline of the interior.
That seemed to be... a human figure still standing? And there was another one next to it?
Kael'thas's pupils began to contract uncontrollably.
"It seems to be called... the 'No Harm from Smoke' law?" The voice lingered with a hint of reminiscence before confirming, "Yes, that should be it."
The moment the last word was uttered, the last wisp of smoke and turbulent energy obstructing the view completely dissipated.
The scene in the center of the battlefield was fully presented to Kael'thas and Celia, who was holding her breath in the distance.
In the center of the charred, sunken ground, Lin Tian himself still stood there quietly.
His robes were spotless, without even the slightest wrinkle.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, as if the devastating triple attack was just a gentle breeze.
The pale blue [magic shield] around him still remained!
However, compared to its initial state of shimmering with a dreamlike glow when it first solidified, the magic shield now appears much dimmer, with an almost transparent texture, like a thin layer of crystal glass, barely maintaining its oval shape.
Occasionally, tiny, electric-like energy ripples flash across the surface of the shield, indicating that its internal energy is slowly and steadily regenerating on its own.
But in any case—it didn't break!
Just a step away from Lin Tian, the Shadow Clone also stood holding a staff, its body shrouded in a transparent yet undeniably real magical shield.
The clone's expression remained indifferent, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with it.
One person and one clone, both intact.
Not a single strand of hair was out of place.
Only the scorched crater beneath their feet, several meters deeper than the surrounding area, and the remaining, not-yet-completely-extinguished dark red energy sparks and scattered fragments of bone spears at the bottom of the crater, silently testified to the ferocity of the attack just now.
