Chapter 123: Killing the Three-Headed Lich
Li Qing looked at the three-headed lich from afar and shouted loudly:
"You're too late!"
He spread his wings and rushed towards the three-headed lich.
When the battle reached this point, the three-headed lich had not yet broken through the Scourge Lord's divine domain and obtained Salar's life box, which doomed him to failure.
Supernatural powers are not as good as destiny.
Everything in this world is not what I want it to be, and there are not so many "just right" or "almost enough".
When Li Qing relied on his powerful strength to quickly destroy the core mage tower, causing the underground space to collapse, the speed was extremely fast, which resulted in the three-headed lich's plan being only half implemented, and it was still a long way from successfully breaking through the core tower of the Scourge Lord.
Li Qing's behavior at this time was no longer just taking advantage of the situation. After a series of battles and accidents, his overall strength had surpassed that of the Scourge Lord and the three-headed lich.
At this point it can no longer be called taking advantage of the situation, it should be called a frontal assault.
At the beginning, it was a three-way melee, and no one could do anything to anyone. Later, Li Qing fought and retreated, slowly moving away from the core tower of the Scourge Lord. The heroes who presided over the Scourge Realm also tacitly contracted their defenses, allowing Li Qing, the Dragon Guardian and the Lava Crystal Dragon to besiege the three-headed lich.
For the Scourge heroes, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, they just need to hold on and wait for the Scourge heroes to rebuild their bodies and revive.
The best outcome would be if both Li Qing and the three-headed lich could be defeated or one of them could be killed.
After all, when the Scourge Lord is resurrected, these two will be enemies. At that time, the difference between having only one enemy and having two enemies will be quite large.
As for whether the Lord of the Scourge could defeat Li Qing after his resurrection, he couldn't care less. After all, it was better than a three-way fight.
Without any interference from a third party, Li Qing led his three men to frantically besiege the three-headed lich.
This guy has three heads, all of which are eighth-level wizards. They can cast spells individually or together. Their strength should be very strong.
But Li Qing is not weak either. Although Li Qing is only at the fifth level, with his descent from God and the blood of the ancient dragon, he can challenge higher levels. His combat power is probably not as good as that of an eighth-level mage, and he can't do anything about it under normal circumstances. But the three-headed lich doesn't have the bonus of the mage tower, so it can't do anything to him either.
Not to mention the Lava Crystal Dragon, a seventh-order upper dragon, even if the three-headed lich stood still, it couldn't do anything to him.
Even if Long Shou and Long Fa joined forces, they could not defeat the three-headed lich, but they were not the main force. The main force was Li Qing. The two of them stayed far away and intercepted according to the situation.
Li Qing rushed forward without fear, charging into the various seven-ring and eight-ring negative spells cast in turn by the three heads of the three-headed lich. A large part of the spells were completely ineffective against him, and those that were effective could not control him for long.
Many direct damage spells will work on him, but they are not enough to kill him.
Especially the lethal spells of various undead factions, the seventh and eighth ring necromancy spells that could easily kill a transcendental warrior in seconds, could only cause Li Qing some injuries, but he recovered quickly with his strong physique and regenerative ability.
Every time the three-headed lich finally cast multiple powerful spells in succession to injure Li Qing and was about to collapse, the lava crystal dragon lying below the battlefield would raise its head and breathe out a dragon's breath.
The dragon's breath swept across continuously, forcing the three liches to dodge continuously.
By the time the dragon's breath was finished, Li Qing had almost recovered and pounced on him again.
Next, Li Qing used the same tactics as before and attacked the three-headed lich frantically, relying on his own speed and strength. He would occasionally use flash and the magic door to get close. Once he was close to the attack distance, he would launch a crazy attack.
With his current strength, he can easily break low-level defensive spells with just a wave of his hand. Even a seventh or eighth-ring defensive spell cannot withstand his repeated powerful blows.
In particular, he stores a large number of weapons in the space in his palm, and uses different weapons to face the different defensive spells of the three-headed lich.
What threatened the three-headed lich the most was the occasional javelin throwing. During the chase, he almost never stopped taking out the fine steel standards from the space in his palm and throwing them with all his might.
With his strength, one shot from his spear would pierce through the thick city gate.
Canovino's defensive spells cannot be stopped. If they are stopped and he is caught by the opportunity, his body may be pierced.
Facing this kind of opponent who can threaten himself but has super strong defense resistance and no blind spots is the most headache for the mage. He can neither kill nor escape. How can he not be headached?
"No, if we continue like this, we will die here!"
The left head of the three-headed lich said loudly:
"We can't go on like this, maybe we need to take a little risk!"
The right head immediately objected:
"No, they have the ability to kill us. The risk is too great."
The head on the left immediately asked:
"Then what do you think we should do? If we continue like this, we will soon run out of mana and lose our combat effectiveness."
The head on the right said in a deep voice:
"In fact, we can think in a different way. There is no deep hatred between us and him. What he needs is not absolutely in conflict with what we need. If we are willing to pay a certain price in exchange for his neutrality, it is not impossible."
The other two heads immediately understood what the head on the right wanted to say and remained silent.
Not objecting was tacit agreement, and they responded immediately as a trinity.
The central head dodged Li Qing's javelin and said loudly:
"Human Destiny, there is no deep hatred between us. Perhaps we don't need to fight like this. I remember that you really want some magical knowledge. I will give you all the magical knowledge of the school in exchange for you not interfering in the battle between me and the Lord of the Scourge."
Li Qing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and laughed:
"Are you stupid? If I kill you, everything you own will be mine."
The three heads of the three-headed lich were obviously stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something, but Li Qing had already killed him at this time, forcing him to dodge and fight back.
Because these three liches have three heads, they can cast three spells at the same time. After being blessed with the flying skill, they can also find time to cast flash and dodge through the magic door during the battle. Otherwise, the normal magician's flying skill is not as flexible as real flying.
The mana of a wizard is limited. Even though a lich has more mana than a normal wizard, and three heads and three wills have three times the mana, it is not infinite.
Seventh- and eighth-ring spells themselves consume a lot of mana, and even a three-headed lich cannot use them infinitely.
After being chased by Li Qing for nearly ten minutes, the three-headed lich had less than a quarter of its remaining mana, while the opponent was still alive and kicking. The three heads of the three liches were now in a chaotic quarrel.
The rational head wants to withdraw first and find an opportunity later.
The irritable head is unwilling to give in and wants to take a risk.
The central head seemed somewhat hesitant, or rather unwilling.
If you hesitate in this situation, you are obviously more inclined to take a risk.
"We can't leave. If we leave now, we will never have another chance. If we give up everything, even if the school is destroyed, all our efforts will be in vain."
The central leader, Canovino, quickly made up his mind, put his hand on his forehead, a strange emblem appeared on his forehead, and an inexplicable aura slowly spread out.
The head on the right looked at the head in the middle and said:
"Think it through. This is the mark of the scourge bestowed by the Lord. It can only be used once. If you use it now, how will you seize the destiny of the lord of the scourge later?"
Canovino said lightly:
"If we can't kill him now, how can we kill him later?"
The right side of the head stopped talking.
Canovino took a deep breath, pressed the mark of natural disaster with his finger, and chanted a spell.
The other two heads cast two powerful defensive spells on themselves in one breath. Seeing that he was standing still in the air, Li Qing spread his dragon wings and pounced towards him.
However, halfway through, he saw the three heads of the lich all looking at him, with soul fire flickering in their eye sockets, as if mocking him.
Li Qing suddenly felt something was wrong and stopped subconsciously. Before he could turn around, he saw the three-headed lich disappear in an instant. Then the sky and the earth darkened, and an extremely huge face filled his entire field of vision.
A pair of indifferent and ruthless pupils slowly looked over, and a cold voice sounded in my ears:
"Death Stare!"
The pupil instantly felt a terrifying attraction, and Li Qing felt like he was falling into a black hole, falling into the pupil without any power to resist.
From the outside, it seemed that Li Qing was rushing straight towards the three-headed lich. Invisible ripples appeared between the eyebrows of the central head of the three-headed lich. A beam of dark golden light spurted out from the strange rune on Canovino's forehead and shot into Li Qing's forehead.
Then Li Qing stopped when he pounced in front of the three-headed lich, and his eyes became blank, his head drooped, his hands and feet became limp, and the weapon in his hand fell out of his hand.
The two heads, one on the left and one on the right, showed joy on their faces. They clasped their hands together and then opened them. A transparent sword blade was slowly pulled out from between their hands.
However, the sword blade had only been pulled out to a width less than a palm's width when the two heads and the central head shook at the same time, with shock and horror on their faces. They heard a dragon's roar that shook their souls and terrified their wills, and the dark golden beam that shot into Li Qing's brow turned around.
"This is impossible!"
They only heard the trembling sound of fear coming from the main head and then lost consciousness.
When the two heads on the left and right came back to their senses from the shock of the dragon's might, they could not sense the existence of the central head at first.
He opened his eyes as quickly as possible and saw the central head turning into powder and disappearing.
Looking forward again, Li Qingzheng took a long breath with a look of satisfaction, his eyes shining brightly.
He lowered his head and looked at the three liches' heads that were still in a daze, and said with a smile:
"To thank you for this great gift, let me personally send you back to reunite with your brothers!"
He grabbed the lich with both hands, with only two heads left, and opened his mouth to spit out a breath of dragon.
The flaming dragon's breath washed over the lich, burning it so much that it struggled hard. However, it was not easy to escape once it was caught by the lich. In addition, the main head suddenly fell off, and the two secondary heads had no time to enter the main body. Their control over the body was not as strong as before, so they could not escape at all.
In just fifteen seconds , the dragon's breath was finally finished.
When the flames disappeared, Li Qing had nothing in his hands.
He opened his hands and let the ashes in his hands float away. The next second, points of light in the sky gathered towards him.
At the entrance of the passage, the eight War Lord apprentices suddenly turned around and saw countless points of light suddenly flying out from the collapsed underground space. They penetrated through the hard stone ground and gathered towards them, turning into a torrent of light and flying into the Calamity Divine Realm on the other side of the passage.
"This is……"
They could see it and guessed it almost instantly.
"Oh my god, did Lord Li Qing really kill those three liches?"
"The spoils are starting to coalesce, it must be real."
"Hiss, a wizard city-state with a population of over 100,000, plus more than 20 great wizards, including three eighth-level great wizards. How rich is the spoils?"
Everyone was speechless, and after a while someone sighed:
“I can only say it’s awesome!”
"I am sure that Lord Li Qing will be among the top three in this experience."
“It’s taking off!”
It took off indeed.
Threads of light from the sky gathered towards him and condensed into a huge ball of light. Li Qing reached out and took out a golden treasure chest from it.
Not opened, no time to look at the loot now.
But one thing is for sure, the loot inside this thing is absolutely explosive.
Theoretically speaking, this Mage City-State corresponds to the Serpent King City, because the Mage City-State is the most powerful city-state in the Underground United Kingdom.
Of course , the Snakeman Kingdom is a unified civilization, and the Underground United Kingdom is a city-state system. The Mage City-State does not account for as much of the entire underground strength as the Snakeman King City. Its overall proportion cannot compare to the proportion of the Snakeman King City in the Snakeman Kingdom, and its spoils are naturally not as good as those of the Snakeman King City.
However, even if it was only half of the Snakeman Kingdom, it would be ten times the spoils of a Snakeman city.
"Cool!"
Even if you fail to defeat the Scourge Lord later, this gain alone is worth the price of admission.
In fact, at this time Li Qing was full of confidence in defeating the Lord of Natural Disasters.
I have already killed them once, and the remaining strength is less than 20%. The main elite undead army is all buried under the earth. If you still have no confidence, then go play in the mud.
After collecting the spoils, Li Qing looked up at the tall tower in the center of the Calamity Divine Realm, then turned around and returned to the entrance.
At this time, his subordinates had advanced less than a hundred meters. A steady stream of skeleton zombies were pouring in from all corners of the divine domain, using their lives to resist his elite troops and the rain of fireballs and fire that washed the ground.
There are still hundreds of thousands of undead in this divine domain with a diameter of two or three kilometers. Most of them are cannon fodder, which can be used for training troops.
Anyway, the situation is basically stable this time, so there is no need to rush forward.
It is worth mentioning that the reason why we don't attack the core of the Scourge's divine domain immediately before the Scourge Lord is resurrected is mainly because killing the Scourge Lord after he is resurrected again can slightly improve the quality of the spoils.
If this hadn't happened, he certainly wouldn't dare to do so.
But now it's stable, so increasing the difficulty a little bit won't be a problem.
An endless stream of undead came to die, which in the eyes of the undead hero presiding over the divine realm was buying time for the lord's resurrection. Both sides had no intention of attacking and were in a stalemate at the gate of the divine realm.
Time passed, and about half an hour later, a bright beam of light shot up into the sky from the central tower of the divine realm. Li Qing immediately felt that the entire divine realm seemed to have come alive, and he realized that the Scourge Lord Salar had been resurrected.
The resurrected Salar hung in the core of the tower with his hands open. A lich hero was standing beside him and introducing him to what had happened during this period.
Before he could even finish his introduction, the soul fire in the eyes of the newly resurrected Salar suddenly jumped, and he shouted in shock and anger:
"Why are my troops gone? Why are there only these few left?"
The lich hero immediately reported to him what had just happened. When he heard that after his death, the underground space where the neighboring mage city-state was located collapsed, the city-state and its main force were all destroyed, and that the three-headed lich who had obtained the mark of natural disasters died at the hands of the human war lord, Salar fell silent.
