Chapter 4172 Blockade

Chapter 4172 Blockade
"Ding, skill successfully used." The familiar notification sound appeared, and Linton was overjoyed; it really worked.

Then, in the next second, Linton saw that the system Xiao Hei's body stiffened visibly, as if it had been frozen in place.

Just as he was excitedly about to grab the person, "whoosh," the system, Little Black, vanished from Linton's sight again, teleporting away once more.

"Huh?" Linton was stunned. Wait, what's going on? Why did the person still leave? Wasn't the skill supposed to be successfully used? Why was he able to teleport?
This left Linton somewhat bewildered.

What he could confirm was that the notification sound had indicated success, and he could clearly see the system's little black figure stiffen slightly, looking quite unnatural. This meant it had indeed succeeded, but the fact remained that the other party had still been teleported away.

After a moment's thought, Linton came to a conclusion. Perhaps it was due to his own inappropriate word choice?
That's right, I just casually shouted "Thief, don't run away!" and the other party really didn't leave. It felt like he was frozen in place. But maybe the teleportation didn't require him to move, so he was teleported away?

No, this is way too unintelligent. Linton thought this skill was incredibly intelligent when he used it before.

You see, when he shouted "the wind is rising," it really was windy, and it wasn't some kind of exaggerated gale like a tornado or typhoon.

Linton's initial thought was simply to create some wind to disperse the surrounding smoke and dust, and also to test his skills. The actual outcome was exactly as he had imagined.

In other words, although Linton used this skill as if it meant his words would become law, the actual result was that the situation developed exactly as Linton had envisioned.

The subsequent rock explosions were basically the same; Linton precisely targeted only one rock to explode, exactly as he intended, rather than blowing up all the rocks on the mountain.

After testing it twice, Linton felt he understood the skill. Anyway, what was said was just a signal; what he thought was the key, right?

However, this time it was strange. I was trying to prevent the opponent from teleporting away, but the skill just stiffly froze the person instead of directly disabling teleportation.

This made Linton less confident again, as he felt he still didn't quite understand the skill.

Of course, if you don't understand something, just keep trying. You'll eventually master it, right? Linton felt like all the training he skipped by spending money to buy the skill was wasted on this piece of crap. But he was also upset about throwing away a skill that cost him hundreds of millions. He really wanted to go back and see what he was thinking when he bought it.

Linton opened the portal again and found the panicked System Black. This time, Linton didn't even reach out, but just looked at the other side through the portal, which frightened System Black so much that it prepared to run away again.

Of course, he knew that if he kept running like this, he would eventually be finished, but now that he saw Linton, he really panicked. He had never felt so panicked before. He didn't even have time to think properly. He was being chased and was running for his life.

"Blockdown!" This time, Linton wasn't going to use any fancy words; he simply pointed at the system, Little Black, which was trying to activate teleportation again.

The next moment, a rather strange thing happened. Several beams of light suddenly appeared around the system, Xiao Hei. These beams of light quickly connected and formed a kind of transparent rectangle, which completely enveloped Xiao Hei.

That's right, this thing looks like a transparent coffin, perfectly enclosing the system, Xiao Hei.

The system, Xiao Hei, frozen again within the rectangular frame, much like the previous situation, but this time it seemed to be an upgraded version. Indeed, this time Xiao Hei wasn't teleported away; instead, it was truly frozen in place, maintaining the same panicked and tense expression it had when it first saw Linton.

"What is this again..." Linton realized that the current situation was more like a freeze in space or time, which had directly fixed the area around System Black.

After thinking about it, it does seem quite similar to the blockade that Linton mentioned. However, this situation seems to be something Linton hadn't anticipated.

So, is this something that suits our tastes or not? I'm a little confused.

Linton reached out and grabbed the rectangular coffin on the other side of the portal, while the system on this side remained motionless. Linton tried pulling it towards him, and the thing quickly passed through the portal and arrived beside him.

"You..." Linton still had a headache looking at the system Xiao Hei that had been frozen in place and pulled to his side.

This thing looks like a sealing skill. I don't know if the system Xiao Hei sealed inside is aware of it, whether it knows it's sealed and there's nothing it can do, or whether it has completely lost consciousness.

This is because the opponent's previous attacks didn't break through their defenses, nor did they trigger auto-battle, making it difficult to assess their current situation. If auto-battle ended, it would be possible to accurately determine the opponent's mental state, which would be a convenient feature.

But Linton is going to beat him up now, to put it simply, to assault him. How can he fight like this?

He also thought of sealing it, but he thought it should involve setting up an area similar to the Four Purple Flames Array around it, and prohibiting teleportation within it.

But the actual result is this: it's close to the correct answer but with some deviation. Is this skill messing with me?

So actually, there are some compatibility issues between this skill and myself, after all... this skill can't carry me flying, right?

"Spatial sealing barrier, deploy!" Linton decided to be a bit dramatic and state his request more precisely to see if he could achieve it.

As he spoke, he spread his arms wide, as if he were about to create a large barrier.

This action is honestly... a little embarrassing. If there's no reaction at all, Linton thinks it would be incredibly awkward. Especially in front of hundreds of millions of viewers.

Linton said that if there was no reaction, he would just destroy the world on the spot.

Fortunately, the situation wasn't as dire as he had imagined, because something resembling a domain suddenly unfolded around his body, quickly enveloping System Xiao Hei, Matsumoto Yoshiji, and the others.

"Ding, skill successfully used."

This shield is purple, that's right, the color of the Four Purple Flame Array that Linton just mentioned. Aside from the shape, it really does look somewhat similar. Could it be because Linton just thought of the Four Purple Flame Array?
The space has been created, but will it actually be able to seal off the space? Linton decided to test it immediately.
