"Who I am is not important."
Ye Ling smiled slightly at the gray-robed walker and then pushed Davies, who was trembling behind him, forward. "The key is that this girl needs to level up and requires your experience."
"My experience?"
The gray-robed walker was stunned by Ye Ling's words. He then carefully scanned Ye Ling and Davies again. One was level 1, the other level 20…
"With just the two of you?"
Seeing their levels, the gray-robed walker almost burst into laughter.
Even if Ye Ling had used some item to hide his level, he couldn't be much higher if he was associated with a level 20 girl.
At most, level 50.
The gray-robed walker believed he could kill a basketful of such trash with one hand.
Barton, seeing someone interfering, secretly rejoiced. He immediately buried his head in the water, healing his injuries, and simultaneously planning his escape route.
Although it could contend with the gray-robed walker, it could only contend. It knew it was no match for him.
Now that Ye Ling had intervened, regardless of whether Ye Ling could defeat the gray-robed walker, it needed to escape.
The gray-robed walker glanced at Barton, who had submerged himself in the water, and realized what Barton was plotting. A hint of gloom flashed in his slender eyes as he shook his staff towards Ye Ling and Davies.
"If it were any other time, I might have the leisure to play with you two little brats. But now, I have important matters to attend to, so I can only send you to your deaths immediately."
"Death Mist!"
The gray-robed walker shouted, and the staff in his hand glowed with golden light. Then, a black mist, which had just corroded Barton's tough snake scales, condensed at the tip of his staff.
However, his staff only flashed once before disappearing, and the condensed black mist instantly dissipated.
"Hmm?"
The gray-robed walker was stunned. He shook his staff again, but still, Death Mist could not be cast.
"Out of mana?"
The gray-robed walker thought he had run out of energy. He took a blue potion from his pocket and swallowed it whole.
Blue light emanated from him, and his aura rapidly increased!
"That's more like it!"
A sinister grin spread across the gray-robed walker's lips as he shook his staff towards Ye Ling again.
"Death Mist!"
The gray-robed walker roared, but this time, even his staff didn't light up, let alone the appearance of Death Mist!
Davies, standing on the shore, and Barton, hiding underwater observing the situation and waiting for an opportunity to escape, were all dumbfounded!
"Impossible!"
This was the first time the gray-robed walker had encountered such a situation. He was flustered and took another blue potion from his pocket, swallowing it directly!
"Death Mist! Death Mist! Damn it, cast it!" The gray-robed walker shook his staff frantically, but no matter how hard he tried, he looked like a madman swinging a fire poker, not a high-level mage.
Barton, seeing the gray-robed walker's state from underwater, although it didn't know what had happened, it knew this was its chance for a comeback!
Without hesitation, Barton rushed out of the water and lunged at the gray-robed walker with its gaping maw.
"Die!"
Barton bared its sharp fangs, intending to inject its venom, capable of killing gods, into the gray-robed walker!
"Scram."
However, just as Barton was about to bite the gray-robed walker, Ye Ling's cold voice echoed around them. Barton, as if hearing an irrefutable command from its father, showed fear in its eyes, immediately veered away from the gray-robed walker, and crashed heavily into the cave wall!
Boom!!!
Barton's massive body hit the cave wall, causing the entire cave to shake violently.
The gray-robed walker, suspended in the air, was now completely terrified. He looked at Ye Ling with a face full of horror, not understanding when he had provoked such a formidable being!
Anyone who could influence the legendary serpent with a single word was either a paramount figure of level 100 or above, or a deity possessing at least a higher divinity!
Either of these existences was not someone a level 70 gray-robed walker could afford to provoke!
Although the gray-robed walker had also slain gods, he had only killed a mid-tier deity at level 40 who had not yet grown strong…
Mid-tier gods and higher-tier gods were entirely different existences!
Ye Ling smiled as he looked at the terrified gray-robed walker in the air and beckoned him with a finger. "Come here."
The gray-robed walker's body no longer obeyed his rational command. He could not suppress the urge to approach Ye Ling, landed on the shore, and knelt before Ye Ling.
Ye Ling looked at Davies and asked, "Are you ready?"
Davies, seeing the gray-robed walker, who was renowned in the Purple Luo Empire, kneeling before her, couldn't help but purse her lips, her body trembling.
However, Davies's trembling this time was not from fear, but from uncontrollable excitement and anticipation.
Killing the gray-robed walker would at least allow her to reach level 60!
A strong individual of this level, even in the royal city, would be enough to serve as a court mage, the most elite power in the empire!
An hour ago, she was still a weakling at level 10. Who would have thought that in such a short time, she would be reborn!
Suppressing her excitement and nervousness, Davies nodded to Ye Ling. "Yes… I'm ready!"
"Mm."
Ye Ling nodded slightly. Ignoring the gray-robed walker's wails, he modified the gray-robed walker's thoughts using the Ink Domain.
The next moment, under Barton's terrified gaze, the gray-robed walker began to mutilate himself wildly!
"He's gone mad!"
Barton watched as the gray-robed walker cried and begged for mercy while self-mutilating. Its eyes filled with growing fear. It looked at Ye Ling, feeling that this man, who was only level 1, was even more terrifying than its father!
With endless fear in its heart, Barton stealthily submerged itself into the water, preparing to escape through the underwater dark river. However, Ye Ling turned his head to look at it.
Seeing Ye Ling's gaze, Barton trembled all over. Its massive body froze on the spot, daring not to move again!
It had a premonition… if it dared to run, its fate would be even more miserable than the gray-robed walker's!
Amidst Barton's unease and fear, the blood-soaked gray-robed walker collapsed onto the ground, on the verge of death.
Ye Ling observed the gray-robed walker's state, estimating that he had only one breath left. He then withdrew the Ink Domain and instructed Davies, "Make your move."
"Mm!"
Davies gripped her wooden staff, her eyes becoming serious. She solemnly swung her wooden staff.
"Fireball!!!"
A massive fireball hurtled towards the gray-robed walker!
"-0".
A white number floated above the gray-robed walker's head. The smile on Ye Ling's face instantly froze.
