Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge-Chapter 860 - 522 Hunt_2

Chapter 860 -522 Hunt_2

The treasure that could seal a seventh-tier space was incredibly rare.

Even Zi Liyuan, that fellow, had never obtained one.

Therefore, he was completely unable to seal the space to restrict the old witch.

The only way to defeat her was to engage in a consumption battle, depleting her power in the King’s Domain, grinding her strength down to the next major rank, regressing to the sixth tier legendary level.

Otherwise, with Zi Liyuan’s current methods, even if he went all out, it was impossible to easily slay a seventh-grade sanctum, unless the opponent recklessly fought to the death with him.

Now enveloping the entire city in the Death Domain was merely a temporary measure to ensure the old witch wouldn’t escape outside the city.

Once she tried to escape, breaking through the Death Domain’s blockade would reveal her position and direction, making the pursuit much quicker then.

There was no need to worry about the old witch quietly disappearing, making him completely lose the target.

And at this moment, Heavenly Phoenix City had already descended into chaos.

The sudden activation of the City Defense Barrier, the appearance of two domains in succession, with deathly black fog shrouding the sky.

Along with the powerful dignity pressure of death, all beings within the city felt their souls tremble and the threat of death.

Temporarily losing the target of the old witch, Zi Liyuan immediately locked onto another one.

Heavenly Phoenix City was vast, with a magnificent palace complex in the central area, the residence and base of the old witch.

Outside the palace complex were four city districts divided into east, south, west, and north, each with a City Lord’s Mansion.

The city’s defense barrier was extremely complex, and to activate it to cover the entire city, it required simultaneously activating the four City Lord’s Mansions, then using the central palace as the array eye to successfully complete activation.

Zi Liyuan and his team entered through the North City Gate, so their attack target was naturally the North City Lord’s Mansion.

The resistance here was much weaker than he imagined.

It wasn’t that there were no sixth-tier legends guarding it, but the opponents simply didn’t engage in hard combat; instead, after the Death Domain descended, most of the officials in the North City Lord’s Mansion scattered in a panic, fleeing in all directions.

Only one sixth-tier legend and four fifth-tier epics remained in the North City Lord’s Mansion.

However, their will to resist was also extremely weak, and with a few casual death spells from Zi Liyuan, they were knocked down like dead dogs, lying on the ground and not getting up.

In fact, the spells didn’t cause them much damage, just about one-fifth of the effect.

But they couldn’t resist, these guys were playing dirty!

They just withstood one spell attack from Zi Liyuan, then used various protective tools. After taking another hit, a damage number floated above their heads, and they lay on the ground, unwilling to get up again.

To be honest, these fellows’ sneaky maneuvers truly opened Zi Liyuan’s eyes.

However, for survival’s sake, there was nothing shabby about their actions.

Just thinking, the old witch controlled the life and death of many fifth-tier experts, gaining their servitude.

He then had a sudden epiphany.

If he guessed correctly, the remnants in the North City Lord’s Mansion who didn’t flee were all loyal confidants and direct members controlled by the old witch.

Such loyal confidants generally wouldn’t rebel under normal circumstances.

But the news of the old witch ambushing the noble families had spread throughout the Heavenly Phoenix City territory, causing unrest among her loyal troops, and their loyalty hit a historic low.

Prisoners were indeed captured, but Zi Liyuan wouldn’t dare use these types seeking gain through betrayal.

However, with their guidance, all the hidden facilities in the North City Lord’s Mansion were easily unlocked.

But upon reaching the basement, Zi Liyuan found that he couldn’t obtain the central energy core.

With the activation of the city’s defense barrier, the central energy core beneath the North City Lord’s Mansion had entered the output state.

Thus, a small protective barrier was formed here, and its strength was extremely high, reaching the seventh tier directly!

To break this thing from the outside would require continual bursts of seventh-tier damage, and then this barrier could complete repairs in a very short time.

“Damn it, the city’s defense barrier of Heavenly Phoenix City is a quadruple formation. To destroy it, you must break all four simultaneously.”

Even if the Death Domain enveloped the entire city, Zi Liyuan couldn’t simultaneously control four streams of death power to attack the four City Lord’s Mansions and break the activated small protective barriers.

There was no point in taking down the City Lord’s Mansion if they couldn’t access the central energy core.

Given this, Zi Liyuan shifted his focus once more.

Meanwhile, the old witch had temporarily escaped Zi Liyuan’s pursuit with an unexpected surge of power.

Then she quickly dashed into an unremarkable small courtyard within the North City District.

When it came to hiding spots, the old witch had controlled the city for over a hundred years, with countless hidden measures, numbering in the hundreds at least.

“The activation of the city’s defense barrier equates to isolation from inside and out. That’s not enough; without a special token, no detection skills can be used inside the city.”

The Death Lord was unable to use detection skills, thus unable to effectively track her location.

Even if she wanted to make a strategic change, she could easily evade Zi Liyuan’s pursuit with quiet secrecy.

Upon entering the small courtyard and passing through the secret passage, she reached the underground tunnel.

This was actually an extremely covert escape route, with one end in the unremarkable North City District, and the other exit within the central palace complex.

There were as many as eight such tunnels, leading to eight different directions.

As for those who knew about them, they had been dealt with by the old witch long after their construction.

In other words, except for her, no one knew of these eight escape routes.

The old witch made a quick move, speeding through the tunnel, avoiding traps, and soon returned to the central area of the palace complex.

When the city’s defense barrier was activated and fully charged, there were actually three layers of barriers within the whole of Heavenly Phoenix City, each more powerful than the last.

The outermost layer on the city walls provided a city-wide coverage barrier for the first time.

The second layer only covered the central palace complex, and this protective barrier’s strength had reached a pseudo-seventh tier.

The third layer was at the central energy core points of the east, south, west, north city districts, and the array eye palace.

This protective barrier strength had reached the true seventh tier.

Only someone like the old witch, who had scavenged resources for over a hundred years, could sustain such a massive barrier consumption.

If it were Zi Liyuan, fully operating the city’s defense barrier, he likely couldn’t sustain it for even a minute before depleting his resources.

The old witch entered the central palace complex through the underground passage without needing to disable the barrier.

At present, she didn’t stop but began emptying the warehouses she had in the palace complex.

Over a hundred years of accumulation, apart from extremely precious items taken into her space column, other resources stocked in specially established storage warehouses.

Now, having decided to abandon her stronghold in Heavenly Phoenix City, she naturally sought to reap enough benefits.

With the Death Lord already having entered the city, the city districts would soon fall into chaos, and those noble families would surely suffer Zi Liyuan’s purge.

This gave the old witch a breather, allowing her to transfer resources more swiftly.

Moving from one warehouse-like palace to another, the old witch took out special spatial treasures, emptying the palaces.

Everything was emptied, except for the palaces themselves, even dust was packed and placed into the spatial treasures.

Meanwhile, through special communication means, the old witch had unveiled her final trump card.

This was a special team under her control, using a secret technique.

All members were sixth-tier legends, totaling thirty-six people, forming a small formation that could unleash the early-stage seventh-tier sanctum’s combat power.
