Global Towers: Starting With The SSS-Rank Talent, God-Tier Extraction-Chapter 868 - The Only Chance
868 The Only Chance
After all, dealing with Flame Demon King was extremely important to Liu Yan.
Firstly, the Origin Territory participated in the clean-up of Flaming Mountain. If they could not get rid of Flame Demon King, Flame Demon King would recover from its injuries and become stronger in the future. It would come back for revenge, and the Origin Territory would naturally be in trouble.
Secondly, killing Flame Demon King was a condition to complete the S-grade mission.
Liu Yan had to deal with Flame Demon King to fulfill the mission conditions and complete the S-grade mission [Clean up Flaming Mountain]. From there, he would receive generous rewards and increase the overall strength of Origin Territory.
The third most important reason was the SSS-grade weapon, the Flame Demonic Spear, that Liu Yan had just subdued.
The Flame Demonic Spear was a powerful SSS-grade weapon. Although Liu Yan had not seen the Flame Demonic Spear’s specific attributes panel, he naturally trusted the Flaming Magic Spear’s power.
Liu Yan already had special SSS-grade equipment, Wings of Wind God.
However, Wings of Wind God was a relatively unique piece of equipment. It was not a piece of equipment with complete combat attributes. Moreover, Wings of Wind God was still sealed, so it had not fully displayed the power of a piece of SSS-grade equipment.
However, this SSS-grade weapon, the Flame Demonic Spear, was different. It was a weapon for combat.
If Liu Yan could repair the Flame Demonic Spear, it would undoubtedly give a huge boost to Liu Yan’s strength.
Right now, he had to deal with Flame Demon King. Using its soul to repair the weapon spirit of the Flame Demonic Spear was undoubtedly the most important thing.
Liu Yan kept thinking of a way to deal with Flame Demon King.
Although the experts of Team Lighthouse were still fighting fiercely with Flame Demon King, they were still in the middle of the battle.
However, the battle situation was one-sided. Flame Demon King completely suppressed the many experts of the Team Lighthouse.
The subsequent situation was predictable. The experts of Team Lighthouse must have been defeated by Flame Demon King and left through a special method.
Liu Yan’s eyes could not help but light up when thinking of this.
Wasn’t that the best time for him to make a move?
Liu Yan knew Flame Demon King, who had experienced intense battles with the experts of the Team Lighthouse, had suffered more severe injuries.
Since Flame Demon King had used its essence and released the power of the blood essence it had collected previously, Flame Demon King would suffer more injuries. It was a good time for Liu Yan to make a move.
If he waited until the battle was over and allowed Flame Demon King to recover or let Flame Demon King release more blood essence to increase his strength, Liu Yan would have no way to deal with Flame Demon King.
Liu Yan watched the battle situation on the ground while thinking about the timing of his attack.
Liu Yan knew Flame Demon King already had peak 18-star combat strength, or even close to 19-star combat strength.
After the battle, Liu Yan had the opportunity to deal with Flame Demon King, who had suffered heavy losses.
However, the timing of the attack had to be grasped well. It had to be a one-hit kill.
If he failed once, he might not have another chance.
After all, Liu Yan’s current battle prowess was only at 17-star. There was still a gap between him and Flame Demon King.
Moreover, Flame Demon King might still have some blood essence that it had not released, so it still had reserved strength.
The current situation on the ground was undoubtedly disadvantageous to the many experts of Team Lighthouse.
After a great battle, even though the many experts of the Team Lighthouse surrounded Flame Demon King and used all their trump cards, they only caused a certain amount of light injuries to Flame Demon King.
As for the members of Team Lighthouse, all of them were injured. Some were seriously injured and almost lost their combat strength.
At this moment, members of Team Lighthouse realized they had no way to deal with Flame Demon King.
“No, this Flame Demon King is too strong. We are no match for him.”
“If we were at our peak condition, we might still have a chance. We’ve lost too much energy previously, and we’re no match for them now.”
“We can’t continue fighting. If we continue, we will lose.”
“But we’re just one step away from completing the S-grade mission. Just one more step!”
…
The experts of Team Lighthouse were undoubtedly conflicted.
If they continued to fight, they would not be a match for Flame Demon King. They were already at the end of their rope.
However, they would not complete this S-grade mission if they did not fight and retreated.
Although they had a chance to deal with Flame Demon King in their peak condition, they still had a chance.
However, when they all recovered, they would return to fight Flame Demon King the next time.
Flame Demon King might not be able to escape from here. Even if Flame Demon King was still here, he might have recovered a lot. At that time, they would still be no match for him.
In other words, this might be their last chance to get rid of Flame Demon King and complete the S-grade mission.
“Just a little bit more, just a little bit more!” Luo Rui said furiously at this time.
Wei Feng reminded him calmly, “There’s no other way. We can’t continue fighting. We have to preserve our strength.”
Lu Dajiang nodded and said, “If they all die here, it’ll be too much of a loss.”
Luo Feng looked at the severely injured Flame Demon King and gritted his teeth. He was unwilling but quickly regained his rationality and said, “This won’t do. Everyone retreats in an orderly manner immediately. We’ll talk about it next time. We have to preserve our strength first!”
Hearing Luo Feng’s order, the initially confused and struggling Team Lighthouse members immediately woke up.
Team Lighthouse’s experts had already experienced many battles. They had experienced even more dangerous fights than this one several times, so they naturally had a lot of battle experience.
At this moment, even though they were facing the powerful and troublesome Flame Demon King, the experts of the Team Lighthouse were seriously injured but could still retreat in an orderly manner.
The strongest Luo Feng, Luo Rui, Lu Dajiang, and Wei Feng stayed behind to restrain Flame Demon King.
All the other experts of Team Lighthouse withdrew from the battle on the spot, then pressed the button to return to the city and teleport away.
The Origin Territory was a level 5 territory, so the time needed to return to the territory was also reduced a lot.
In less than four seconds, the experts of team Origin had already retreated.
Luo Feng, Luo Rui, Lu Dajiang, and Wei Feng restrained Flame Demon King while preparing to retreat.
Fortunately, Flame Demon King was also seriously injured. Although his strength was stronger than the combined strength of the many experts of Team Lighthouse, he was still injured.
However, the injured Flame Demon King could not do anything to the retreating experts of Team Lighthouse.
Seeing that the last four were about to retreat, Flame Demon King immediately followed as if he wanted to make Luo Feng and the others stay.
At this moment, Liu Yan was hiding in the dark sky. He was prepared to make his move.
Liu Yan couldn’t wait for Flame Demon King to rush up and finish off Luo Feng and Luo Rui.
This way, Lu Dajiang and Wei Feng might also be in danger. It was not what Liu Yan wanted to see.
On the other hand, this was also Liu Yan’s last chance to make a move.
Taking advantage of the fact that Flame Demon King was injured and was chasing after him to launch a sneak attack, this was the best time for Liu Yan to attack.
If he waited until the battle with Flame Demon King was over before taking action, the chances of success would undoubtedly be much lower.
Liu Yan, who had long been prepared, immediately took action.
