1038 Ambushed, Since I Can't Hide, I'll Fight!

Even though Liu Yan's strength had increased by a lot, even rising by 2 stars of combat strength at once, he did not let it go to his head and was still very cautious.

He knew how powerful Lakon Territory was, and he didn't want to expose himself and the Origin Territory to face the powerful Lakon Territory just yet. Right now, Liu Yan and Team Origin's strength was still far from enough.

As such, Liu Yan used the A-grade skill, Shadow Cloak, and the B-grade skill, Traceless Silence, just like how he had come. He then headed toward the outskirts of the Hallucinatory Forest.

When he had entered earlier, he did notice that there were Lakon Territory's scouts around. Hence, he was even more careful now, not wanting to bump into them.

He didn't want any more complications. He only wanted to head toward the outer area of the Hallucinatory Forest. When he was close enough to the Origin Territory, he would directly teleport back.

The teleportation square in the Origin Territory was currently at level 3, so the One-click Recall distance was still relatively limited. One could return to the Origin Territory with a One-click Recall when at the periphery of the Hallucinatory Forest, but in the depths, it was too far, so one could not do so.

Liu Yan maintained his invisibility and suppressed his aura at the same time as he slowly made his way to the outskirts of the Hallucinatory Forest.

To conceal himself as much as possible, he even slowed down quite a bit and did not advance at full speed.

The morning sun slowly shone down as Liu Yan moved forward in stealth.

Today was a brand new day. It was also the 28th day since the Origin Territory arrived at the sixth level of the tower, Wind Barrier.

There were only three days left until the territory barrier disappeared.

During this period, the Origin Territory encountered many changes and various dangers, but they had successfully survived all of them and even obtained a large number of benefits. The overall strength of Team Origin had rapidly increased.

Liu Yan naturally wanted to spend these last few days peacefully and did not want any more complications to arise.

Now, he had found the key material, the Hallucinatory Demonic Orchid, and even obtained the SS-grade treasure, the spiritual origin stone. He could build the essence poll as long as he returned to the Origin Territory safely, which would help the members of Team Origin increase their potential and speed up their growth. At the same time, he could also use the spiritual origin stone to help the members of Team Origin quickly improve their spirit energy.

Under the double upgrade, the improvement in the Team Origin members' strength would be rapid. In total, the overall improvement in Team Origin's strength would be shocking!

At this moment, Liu Yan was carefully advancing when he suddenly sensed a few powerful auras approaching.

While moving forward carefully, he kept his S-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight, activated.

Relying on the skill, he could sense that four powerful auras were coming toward him from four directions.

From the directions they were heading, they seemed to be heading toward him.

Noticing this, Liu Yan was quite surprised. He was now clearly in stealth mode and had deliberately suppressed his aura. It should be very difficult for ordinary people to discover him.

The four auras were not weak, having around 20-star combat strength.

However, although 20-star combat strength was already very strong, it was logically impossible for them to discover Liu Yan who was currently in stealth mode.

He maintained a trace of hope as he continued to suppress his aura and changed directions, heading another way.

Liu Yan wanted to see if it was a coincidence or if the other party had indeed discovered him.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he still did not want to make a move. After all, the other party was clearly Lakonions from the terrifying Lakon Territory.

If he acted rashly, he would likely attract the other party's attention and bring trouble to the Origin Territory.

At the time being, Liu Yan and the Origin Territory had to keep a low profile.

At the very least, before the Origin Territory had the strength to fight against the Lakon Territory, he should not expose himself. It would be best if the Lakon Territory did not discover the existence of the Origin Territory!

Yet, even after Liu Yan changed his direction, he was shocked to discover that the four powerful auras also changed their direction slightly. They were heading precisely in the direction that he was in.

Seeing this, Liu Yan gave up on the last trace of hope in his heart.

It seemed that the other party had some special method to discover his whereabouts.

Liu Yan's expression instantly turned cold.

He didn't want to provoke them, not because he was afraid of them, but because he didn't want to bring trouble to Team Origin.

Yet, these few people did not just let him be. It seemed that they were determined to take him down, which really made him quite displeased.

"Do you think you can win against me?" Liu Yan smiled faintly.

Since he couldn't hide, then he wouldn't.

Although these four auras were powerful and their strength had reached 20-star combat strength, Liu Yan was not afraid.

After all, after the previous increase in strength, he had already reached 21-star combat strength. It was enough to crush them.

Never mind that he now had 21-star combat strength, even if he only had 19-star combat strength like how he was before he had entered the Hallucinatory Forest, he still had nothing to fear.

It was just four opponents with 20-star combat strength. Liu Yan was more than enough to deal with them!

Since he had decided to make a move, he did not hesitate. He immediately chose to make a decisive move.

The S-grade weapon, Blade of The Night, appeared in Liu Yan's hand.

The four powerful auras seemed to have immediately sensed that something was wrong. They stopped in their tracks and turned vigilant.

Liu Yan couldn't care less and directly used the S-grade skill, Prison of Giant Trees!

His attainments in the area of the wood attribute elemental powers were very high. He was even close to attaining the SSS-grade Wood Elemental Law.

As a result, he could use wood attribute skills with greater ease.

This was the case for the Prison of Giant Trees. The moment Liu Yan used it, a large amount of wood attribute elemental powers instantly condensed between heaven and earth.

The dense wood attribute elemental powers materialized, forming three Prison of Giant Trees that enveloped three of the Lakonians.

It was extremely fast. The three powerful Lakonians did not even have the time to react. They did not even have the time to escape before they were trapped.

The three Lakonians who were restricted immediately realized that something was wrong. They all cast their spells, wanting to break out of the Prison of Giant Trees.

However, they soon discovered to their surprise that it was extremely tough.

Even with their formidable strength of 20-star combat strength, they were still unable to break through the Prison of Giant Trees in a short time despite their desperate moves.

The only Lakonian who was not trapped by the Prison of Giant Trees thought that he was lucky. He hurriedly rushed toward a companion who was close to him, wanting to cooperate with the latter to help him break free from the terrifying Prison of Giant Trees.

Unfortunately, he did not know that it wasn't because Liu Yan could only condense three Prisons of Giant Trees that he did so. Rather, as long as Liu Yan wanted to, it would not be a problem for him to condense a few more.

The reason why he only condensed three was because he only needed three to restrain the other three Lakonians and prevent them from escaping.

The remaining Lakonian was the first person he would deal with.

Since Liu Yan had chosen to take action, he would not be merciful.

Now that four Lakonians were targeting him, he would deal with all four of them. He would not let any of them go.

S-grade skill, Sonic Speed, activated!

At 16 times Sonci Speed, Liu Yan's figure turned into a blur as he charged toward the Lakonian who was not restricted by the Prison of Giant Trees.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Yan had already appeared in front of him.

At the same time, the B-grade skill, Backstab, was activated!

Liu Yan, who was already extremely fast, disappeared into thin air.

In the next moment, he appeared behind the Lakonian.

The moment he did, the Blade of The Night stabbed down, heading straight for the Lakonian's heart.

It could be seen that the Lakonian was very powerful, having reached 20-star combat strength. The level of the armor on him was not low either. His defense was terrifying.

However, all of this was useless in front of Liu Yan.

Until now, this Lakonian still hadn't reacted.

It wasn't that his reaction speed was slow, but that Liu Yan's speed was too terrifying.

Liu Yan's agility attribute had already exceeded 100,000 points. It was extremely terrifying. Plus, he also used the S-grade skill, Sonic Speed, and the B-grade skill, Backstab, to teleport.

He could be considered to have maxed out his speed.

Even an ordinary 23-star combat strength Awakened could not compare to Liu Yan if he was moving at full speed, let alone this 20-star combat strength Lakonian.

Before he could even react, Liu Yan had already arrived behind him. The S-grade weapon, Blade of The Night, accurately stabbed his heart.
