Chapter 755: Threatening Reminder
Following the creation of artificial beasts, Ling Zhan unleashed his contract spirit summoning technique!
Ling Zhan was tired of wasting words on Zhang Mingruo and the rest of this bunch of scum.
After all, in his eyes, these people were already dead.
What use was there in speaking to the dead?
As the contract summoning circles formed, a horde of bizarre-looking contract spirits emerged before everyone.
The professionals who had just been expelled from the Grand Treasury were immediately surrounded by the contract spirit army.
Among the encircled professionals were many Summoner-class players.
When they saw the contract spirits, their faces were filled with shock!
Because they realized these contract spirits were unlike anything they had ever seen!
"This..."
"Isn't that a Thornflower Sprite? No, wait! Since when did Thornflower Sprites become so burly and ferocious?"
"And isn't that a Goblin Archer? Why does it look so muscular and ripped now?"
"What the hell! Why do these F-tier contract spirits suddenly exude such powerful auras!?"
The summoners who had achieved their fourth-tier evolution into Spirit Masters were completely stunned!
Spirit Master was the fourth-tier class for summoners, known for commanding countless spirits that obeyed without question.
But what they didn't expect was...
These beginner-level contract spirits, usually only used by novice summoners, had transformed into monstrous and powerful entities in Ling Zhan's hands!
The aura these beginner contract spirits emitted was already comparable to that of their own SS-tier contract spirits!
But the key issue was...
Even though they could summon SS-tier contract spirits, their numbers were nowhere near this overwhelming!
With a rough estimate, there were over 10,000 contract spirits surrounding them!
And every single one of them had reached SS-tier!
It was truly spine-chilling!
Those who had witnessed Ling Zhan's battle with the Radiant Dragon King never expected him to have another ace up his sleeve after displaying such mastery over beast taming!
They were utterly convinced now!
Completely and utterly convinced!
It seemed that for this non-specialist, running out of mana simply wasn't a thing!
"Attack!"
With a casual wave of his hand, Ling Zhan commanded the contract spirit army to charge without giving Zhang Mingruo and the others any chance to speak.
"Roar!!"
The contract spirits, upon receiving their orders, charged relentlessly at the members of the Demon Dragon Palace, Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, Holy Sword Guild, Radiant Guild, and Shadowmoon Pavilion!
Bang!
The Thornflower Sprites took the lead. Once fragile and delicate, they now seemed like fierce warriors. Leading the charge, one of them delivered a punch that sent a level 130 professional flying!
The level 130 professional let out a miserable scream, their body launched like a cannonball into the mountainside, vomiting blood as they fell into critical condition.
"Hiss!"
The surrounding onlookers couldn't help but gasp!
What the hell was this!?
These Thornflower Sprites weren't just fast—they had terrifyingly high attack power!
A single punch had critically injured a level 130 professional, who hadn't even had time to react!
Contract spirit power wasn't solely dependent on their level; it also relied on the summoner's attributes.
The contract spirits inherited the attributes of their summoners.
In other words...
The higher the summoner's four core attributes, the stronger the contract spirit would be.
This included inherited attributes like armor, magic resistance, damage reduction, and critical damage.
At this moment...
The fact that these contract spirits could incapacitate a level 130 professional with one punch showed just how absurdly high Ling Zhan's four core attributes were!
Even higher-level professionals like Zhan Zicheng and the others, who were at level 140, felt their hearts sink.
The situation wasn't looking good...
Forget about killing Ling Zhan—
The real question was whether they could even escape!
"Zhan Zicheng, Qiao Duo, Liu Zheng, we need to team up if we want to survive!"
Zhang Mingruo's face darkened as he addressed the three men.
As team leaders of the Holy Sword Guild, Shadowmoon Pavilion, and Radiant Guild, they had decision-making authority.
Hearing this, the three exchanged glances, seeing the gravity of the situation reflected in each other's eyes. They nodded slowly.
Zhang Mingruo was right; the situation was critical.
Though they had brought many people, they wouldn't last long against such powerful contract spirits.
For now, the low-level members were acting as meat shields. Once they were wiped out, it would be their turn.
Therefore...
Their top priority was figuring out how to escape!
But just as they exchanged glances, Ling Zhan's cold, emotionless voice rang out.
"Stop struggling. The space here is sealed."
"If you want to escape, come and kill me first."
"Otherwise, you won't be leaving."
As his words fell, Zhang Mingruo and the others looked up in horror.
Sure enough...
The sky was blurred, and even the scenery around the black basin appeared hazy and distorted.
It was clear that Ling Zhan wasn't bluffing.
The space had indeed been sealed.
Their only way out was to either break through the spatial seal or kill Ling Zhan.
Otherwise, escape was impossible.
Realizing this, their already grim mood worsened.
"Ling Zhan! Are you really planning to make an enemy of the Holy Sword Guild?" Zhan Zicheng asked grimly.
"Ling Zhan! You've offended not just one organization, but five! Do you even understand what these five organizations represent on the Sacred Continent?" Qiao Duo roared in anger.
Hearing this, Ling Zhan's expression remained indifferent.
Meanwhile, Avril and Adolphus frowned.
The Sacred Continent was home to countless empires and organizations.
The Demon Dragon Palace, Holy Sword Guild, Shadowmoon Pavilion, and Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance were among the most powerful.
Although they weren't as influential as the official Holy Knights, they were not to be underestimated.
Especially since their leaders were all above level 190 and had long been renowned powerhouses.
As for Liu Zheng's Radiant Guild...
While it wasn't particularly strong, it was backed by the City Lord of Radiant City.
Liu Zheng's father, though only level 160 and serving as an acting city lord, was still someone even level 170 professionals dared not provoke.
If Ling Zhan killed them all today, it would bring him endless trouble.
Avril had initially wanted to speak, but she quickly stopped herself.
She knew that once Ling Zhan made a decision, no one could change his mind.
In response to the veiled threats from Zhan Zicheng and the others, Ling Zhan chuckled coldly.
His smile was chilling, like the grim reaper's.
The words he spoke were equally cold.
"All contract spirits, kill them!!"
