Chapter 2293 Confrontation

"Bang!"

With a single punch, Vannes, not having exerted his full strength, immediately suffered a major setback, being pushed back by Fang Heng for the first time!

"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

On the ground, spikes shot rapidly towards Vannes!

The sharp spikes left enormous wounds on Vannes's body!

"Ka!"

Finally, Vannes heavily crashed into the wooden wall behind him.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The vines entwined on the wall immediately coiled towards Vannes!

In almost an instant, they completely covered Vannes's body!

Then, slowly, they began to absorb him into the wooden wall!

"Vannes!"

Another elder, Ian, who had been driving back a group of Lickers while protecting the Leaf tribe team evacuating from the Temple of Incantation, saw Vannes in trouble. He immediately gathered imprints in front of him with both hands.

He had not expected Fang Heng to be so difficult to deal with!

"Don't worry about me!"

Wrapped up in dark red vines, Vannes shouted explosively.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, the natural energy surging around Vannes instantly blasted away the vines encircling him!

Explosive!

Tier 2!

Plant armor!

Dark green runes of incantations appeared on Vannes's body, his expression chilling.

A human actually forcing him to use Tier 2 abilities.

During this period, due to the damage to the divine tree sapling, his strength had fallen by nearly 30% compared to his peak.

However, even so, there was no reason to be humiliated like that by a human!

Vannes's physical attributes surged once more. With a gentle tap of his toe on the ground, he transformed into a streak of lightning, rapidly closing in on Fang Heng in midair!

In his rage, Vannes had long forgotten about the Great Elder's instructions and only wanted to kill Fang Heng!

"Bam!!"

A punch thundered out!

This punch was unleashed with all his strength, without holding back at all.

What?!

Vannes' eyes flashed with disbelief.

He actually blocked it?

Fang Heng's hands held up in front of him, and he was simply knocked backward by Vannes!

[Hint: The player receives an attack from Vannes, taking 2,891 points of impact damage and an additional 350,000 points of bonus impact damage. The player's pa.s.sive skill activates, transferring this damage to nearby zombie clones.]

Fang Heng put down his hands in front of him and his heart also jumped.

He had clearly blocked it completely, but he still suffered additional shock damage.

Indeed, as outsiders say, Vannes's strength among the Leaf tribe was second only to Great Elder Senzo.

It was indeed troublesome.

"Fang Heng!"

Vannes saw that Fang Heng was fine after blocking the punch. He was even angrier. He stepped forward again and chased after Fang Heng!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Following that were continuous strikes!

Every punch of Vannes contained a powerful impact!

For a moment, Fang Heng struggled to resist. Even with full defense, each punch could still cause hundreds of thousands of damage.

It looked like he was being suppressed all the way, but it was not a big problem.

The additional skill effects provided by the talent meant that all damage Fang Heng received will be evenly distributed among nearby zombie clones.

Inside the temple, there were approximately over two thousand zombie clones. With the damage evenly distributed, each zombie clone received only a few hundred points of damage on average. Thanks to their undying trait, they could recover this damage instantly every second.

Watching as the prolonged a.s.sault made no headway, Vannes's eyes began to redden.

"What's going on?!"

He clearly had a huge advantage.

Why couldn't he do anything to this human?

"Alright! Stubborn, are you? Let's see how long can you hold out!"

Vannes was even more furious, and he swung his fists again and again!

On the other side, Ian led the Leaf tribe back to the outer hall, still swiftly clearing out the Licker horde.

Soon, he realized the problem.

His gaze was focused on the magic array that was faintly moving in the center of the hall.

There was something wrong with this temple!

"Vannes! Be careful! There's something wrong with the temple! Retreat first!"

Vannes, consumed by rage, paid no heed to Ian's urging. He continued his relentless a.s.sault on Fang Heng, his mind set on tearing him apart completely!

Fang Heng kept blocking Vannes' attacks, feeling a little impressed.

Ignoring Vannes's foul temper, he was indeed a formidable opponent.

Under Vannes's relentless onslaught, Fang Heng couldn't even find an opportunity to counterattack.

However...

Vannes was still tired.

According to the game hint, Fang Heng noticed clearly that Vannes's attack damage started around 500,000 to 600,000, gradually decreasing over time, now fluctuating between 400,000 to 550,000.

If they continue to drag out the fight slowly...

At the same time, Abe Akaya sensed a spiritual connection with the souls.

Not good.

The dimensional energy was depleting rapidly. It would be completely consumed in three minutes at most.

Without the dimensional energy, Abe Akaya's strength would be reduced by half.

Alright then!

Fang Heng swept his gaze across the hall.

Under the leaders.h.i.+p of Ian, another elder of the Leaf tribe, a quarter of the Licker horde has been cleared out.

It seems that he could not afford to continue this depletion any longer.

One wave then!

Fang Heng's eyes narrowed slightly as he sent the last wave of spiritual perception to Abe Akaya.

"Bang!!!"

Once again, Fang Heng took Vannes's punch head-on. As he stepped back, he leaped high, evading, and gathering an imprint in front of him. In his right eye, the pupil reflected a rapidly spinning magic array.

"Huh?"

Vannes, relentlessly pursuing Fang Heng with fierce attacks, noticed for the first time Fang Heng stepping back.

"Can't hold on anymore?"

Vannes was overjoyed. He was about to speed up and chase after them when his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He realized that a strange force was rapidly gathering in the center of the hall.

What?!

This rapidly condensing and bursting strength?

Ian also realized the situation was dire, closely watching the rapidly spinning magic array at the center of the hall. He immediately reinforced his defensive barriers and shouted, "Vannes! Be careful!"

"Boom!"

With a deafening explosion ringing in his ears, Vannes momentarily faltered. Instantly, his plant armor hardened, and he crossed his arms in front of him to s.h.i.+eld himself.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

In the next moment, a violent shockwave came! In an instant, Vannes was drowned!

The entire building, including the large magic array, exploded violently!

"Chi!"

A ma.s.sive wooden spike shot up from beneath the ground, aiming directly at Vannes who was thrown into the air!

...

Outside the Temple of Incantation, the Federation lay in ambush, ever vigilant over the temple's domain.

Through the communicator at the command post, crackling electrical noises filled the air.

"Prepare for action! I repeat, prepare for action! Maintain high alert and be ready to move at any moment!"

"Boom!!!"

The next moment, a loud, intense explosion rocked the Temple of Incantation!

Like a volcanic eruption, a visible mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

A wave of red energy rippled outward from the center of the temple!
