Chapter 564: Chapter 23: Killing Intent!

A highly concentrated spiritual power, enhanced by the extreme Sharpness of [Spiritual Focus] and the absolute precision of [Grid Circuit], pierced like countless invisible probes into the “Power Nodes” and “Weak Points of Secret Skill Structure” of Anderson’s pure white Light Spear with stunning accuracy!

The seemingly perfect attack structure of Anderson was riddled with flaws under the insight of the Grid. Lynch’s spiritual probes invaded like the most lethal virus, instantly disrupting and damaging the internal balance!

Another spiritual power turned into something as fluid as mercury, penetrating every crevice. It didn’t directly confront Kano’s dark quagmire but cleverly utilized the grid coordinates to create countless subtle “vortices” and “channels” within the surge of Dark Erosion, actively guiding the viscous dark energy to flow and collide along paths set by Lynch!

In just a moment of collision, the two spiritual forces of Anderson and Kano coming from both sides collapsed like a breached dam.

“Boom!”

A ripple based on spiritual power spread out instantly, stirring waves within the hall.

“What?!”

“Impossible!”

Anderson and Kano exclaimed simultaneously!

Anderson felt his core spiritual power jolted violently, with intense chaos and stinging erupting inside the cohesive attack structure, as if struck by countless tiny needles at vital points. The pure white light flickered frantically, almost losing control and collapsing! He had to divert a considerable amount of mental focus to stabilize his own secret skill, causing the offense to crumble instantly, even suffering a slight backlash on his own spiritual power!

Kano was even more shocked! His proud Dark Erosion, at this moment, seemed like a runaway wild horse, being drawn by a more exquisite and powerful guiding force. Instead of contaminating Lynch, his energy was used against him, with parts of it even uncontrollably crashing towards Anderson!

He felt like he was manipulating a slippery, poisonous grease, prone to backlash if not careful. He could only embarrassingly retract his force, focusing entirely on solidifying his Spirit Defense, to avoid being completely led astray by Lynch’s bizarre methods!

In the hall, the pure white light and viscous darkness fiercely collided and annihilated each other under Lynch’s ingenious control, releasing dazzling energy turbulence!

Yet Lynch himself was like the calmest point in the eye of the storm, observing the two whose expressions drastically changed with cold gray eyes. By relying on the [Grid Circuit]’s extraordinary analytical and control capabilities, he had forcefully suppressed two Late-stage Mystical Level Witch Masters in a mental confrontation!

Anderson’s face was ashen, with veins bulging on his forehead, while the shadows hiding under Kano’s hood undulated violently. Both felt tremendous pressure and spiritual sting, with Lynch’s precision counterattacks striking their most discomforting points; continuing like this, their core spiritual powers could suffer serious damage!

It was clear to everyone by now that the struggle between the two sides had reached a conclusion, with Lynch overwhelmingly suppressing Anderson and Kano.

Had it been a mere sparring session, this duel should have ended here.

But reality was different.

Dominating as he was, Lynch had no intention of stopping, instead releasing his spiritual power like a flood of mercury.

His gaze grew colder.

Lynch’s philosophy was to avoid conflict unless necessary, but once forced to act, he would resolve things once and for all!

Since these two were courting death, then…

Today’s grudges would all be settled!

“Lord Saphiro!”

Anderson’s voice rang out, carrying a hint of retreat: “Our spar can end here!”

He clearly felt the hint of murderous intent embedded in Lynch’s spiritual power.

This murderous intent chilled him to the bone.

Yet facing Anderson’s plea, Lynch feigned ignorance, completely disregarding him. Not only did he refrain from retracting any spiritual power, but he actually intensified it.

The mountainous pressure weighed down, nearly causing Anderson’s spiritual power to collapse.

“Saphiro!”

His voice grew louder; seeing Lynch ignore him, Anderson gritted his teeth, preparing to fight Lynch to the end.

Jeraf and Sophia exchanged glances, tacitly retreating while casting Defensive Magic on themselves.

A fierce battle seemed inevitable.

At this critical moment——

“Enough!”

A deep, commanding roar, as if carrying ancient echoes, erupted like thunder in the hall!

From above everyone, within the writhing mass of huge black tendrils, emerged the phantom of a giant snake head, formed by these tendrils and dark green energy! It was the Giant Python Asdot, who had previously guided them into the Trial Road!

The snake head phantom’s eyes, like burning emerald flames, enveloped the entire scene with cold will, forcibly suppressing all chaotic energy and spiritual fluctuations. The Spiritual Field entangling Lynch, Anderson, and Kano was like being pried apart by an invisible giant hand, instantly severed.

Lynch frowned.

“No private fighting within the Decaying Tower!” Asdot’s voice carried undeniable Rule Power, with each syllable seemingly striking at one’s soul, “Should there be a next time, whoever it may be, will be immediately stripped of their trial qualifications and expelled from the Tower!”

This stern warning was like a dousing of ice water. A flicker of resentment and venom passed through Anderson’s eyes, but there was more a sense of relief, like finding an escape. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

He forcibly suppressed his roiling blood and spiritual agitation, quickly retracting all exposed power; the pure white light dimmed, snorting coldly, grinding his teeth as he said, “Hmph! Saphiro! Very well, very well, I’ll remember you!”

Saying this, he turned without hesitation, moving towards a corner of the hall far from Lynch, sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes for meditation, clearly unwilling to speak further.

Kano also gave Lynch a deep glance, with a look full of fear and a deeply concealed dread. He said nothing, silently retreating into deeper shadows, as if to completely merge with the flowing Jade energy barrier on the walls.

Asdot’s snake head phantom swept its gaze warningly around, especially pausing on Lynch for a moment, where a subtle, indescribable meaning seemed to flicker in those emerald eyes, before slowly retracting back into the entwined tendrils and disappearing.

The tense atmosphere in the hall gradually dissipated with Asdot’s intervention and Anderson’s retreat.

Sophia curiously looked at Anderson meditating, then at Kano in the shadows, finally focusing on the still-calm Lynch, her mouth forming a silent “wow” shape.

Jeraf took a deep breath, his eyes almost physically weighted with gravity. The strength and methods Lynch displayed surpassed his estimations.

Lynch was indifferent to Asdot’s warnings and Anderson’s harsh words. He didn’t even glance at the retreating duo, as though the brief, dangerous conflict before was merely the brushing away of dust.

He simply squinted, deep in thought.

Since matters had reached this stage, both parties were locked in a deathless struggle, so was it really time to stop?

This pet of the Rotten Wood Elder, he could sense the strength.

But,

Lynch was confident that he was even stronger!

So,

As someone with absolute power, should he really heed the command and miss this once-and-for-all opportunity?

Lynch squinted, the killing intent in his eyes growing ever more intense!
