Although Yang Ling's family background is powerful, Meriel believes that as long as she can kill him with one blow and eliminate the evidence after getting rid of Yang Ling, no one will be able to find any clues.

  As Meryl habitually stroked the crystal nucleus at the top of her staff, the dark knights and magicians around her understood her meaning without needing to be told, and they all gathered their strength in preparation. Under the full mobilization of the fighting spirit within their bodies, almost all of the knights' long spears emitted a circle of black light.

  Sharp long spears, icy eyes, and unfathomable aura... From a distance, they seem like killing gods from hell.

  After sensing the opponent's overwhelming killing intent, Yang Ling no longer hesitated and summoned all of his demonic beasts.

  A thorny, withered wooden warrior stood at the front, followed closely by a swift stone statue and a horned wasp beast, protecting the array of evil eyes. Even the blood-sucking bats were arranged in formation under the command of the bat king, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

  Is this...the power of an ancient summoner?

  Watching Yang Ling's dense and numerous demonic beast army, whether it was Meriel or the dark knight with icy eyes, they were all shocked. Although they knew that Yang Ling was a summoner who was different from others, no one expected him to be able to summon so many demonic beasts for battle!

  Ants are numerous, even mammoths are no match for them!

  Take a look at the dense spiders around, and then take a look at the demon army beside Yang Ling. Merrill and others subconsciously took a few cold breaths. The ordinary spiders in the valley are nothing to worry about, but the demons beside Yang Ling are not simple, and they all seem to have evolved into intermediate demons, with combat power that is not trivial!

  "Lord Yang Ling, that spider is also one of the magical beasts you summoned, right? It killed two of our knights and a wizard. You must provide reasonable compensation, otherwise..."

  It seems that the situation is not quite right. Even if they win, they will have to pay a terrible price. Meryl's eyes rolled over and decided to advance by retreating. Prepare to wait for the next opportunity to find a more suitable time, and then think of a way to kill Yang Ling, this hateful summoner.

  "Oh, no problem, thank you Miss Meryl for the trouble, just name a price! Yang Ling saw an opportunity and smiled before continuing: "In any case, one can't let themselves be outdone by a beast!"

  Can't you get along with a brute?

  Meryl's face turned red with rage as Yang Ling made a double-edged remark, and she almost lost control, raising her hand to cast a string of fireballs. Gnashing her teeth, she forced herself to calm down. "Yang Ling, 100,000 purple crystal coins per person is already the lowest compensation. Otherwise... if the elder of our Dark Association finds out what happened, it won't be just a matter of paying a few crystal coins!"

  One million amethyst coins?

  Not to mention the Heavenly Fox Yuna beside Yang Ling, even the Dark Knights who were waiting in ambush were shocked. Who would have thought that Meriel would actually take a heavenly price with just one bite?

  "Heh heh. Just three million purple crystal coins, no problem!" After a cold laugh, Yang Ling said: "Beautiful Miss Merile. Next, it's time to talk about the compensation you should pay. Trespassing on my territory, I won't pursue this anymore, but every spider has cost me countless effort, and one dead spider costs 500,000 purple crystal coins, isn't that reasonable?"

  Trespassing on his territory, a dead spider costs 500,000 purple crystal coins?

  When Yang Ling said this, people were stunned and petrified, unable to come back to their senses for a long time. Especially Meryl, who had not been triumphant for long, was struck like a hammer, her sexy mouth unable to close for half a day.

  Unexpected, it's really too unexpected!

  No one could have imagined that Yang Ling would actually claim the distant Spider Valley as his own territory, and even more unimaginable was that every time a spider died, he would open his mouth to demand 50,000 purple crystal coins!

  I've seen shameless people and I've seen despicable people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless and despicable as this guy!

  Looking at Yang Ling with a seemingly nonchalant expression, looking at the faint smile on his face, Meriel was furious again. If she could, she would have used black magic to turn Yang Ling into a skull and then trample his ribs one by one, burning his soul with hellfire...

  Under the great fire, Merileis once again harbored murderous intentions and was prepared to take down Yang Ling at all costs. Under her command, the Dark Knights also fully mobilized their inner fighting spirit, preparing to charge forward fiercely and forcefully break through the opponent's large formation.

  After successfully provoking the other party's anger, Yang Ling smiled coldly. Anger makes people impulsive, and the more impulsive the other party is, the more advantageous it is for oneself. Merile's group had an unknown origin and a lingering presence, so it was better to take advantage of the opportunity to catch them off guard rather than letting them lurk around like a time bomb.

  Although the opponent is powerful, he believes that in front of his own demon army, the opponent will surely have no return. After advancing to the land witch and condensing the witch's dan, he was full of confidence in his own strength.

  After a brief stalemate, Meryl gritted her teeth and ordered the knights to attack. Since they had already fallen out with Yang Ling, it was better to take him down directly rather than waiting for his counterattack. Under Meryl's command, the dark knights formed a sharp triangular formation under their leader's lead, charging forward like an avalanche. Although there were only over two hundred of them, they emitted a formidable killing aura that seemed to shake the heavens.

  At the same time, Merille and several other magicians worked together to cast a speed-enhancing spell on the Dark Knights and their horses. As a result, the knights' speed increased, and they swept past like a whirlwind, crushing ordinary spiders that were too slow to dodge into meat paste.

  Watching the dark knight's fierce momentum, Yang Ling didn't dare to slack off and commanded the demon beast army to act quickly.

  ******

  Under the command of the Wolf Spider King, the spider army swarmed underground; the Golems and Stinger Beasts took to the air, waiting for orders, ready to strike at any moment; the Withered Warriors stood in a row, protecting the Evil Eye Army behind them...

  Fifty steps, forty-nine steps, forty-eight steps.

  As the distance rapidly narrowed, the Dark Knights stood up under the command of Tong Ling, with sharp long guns, ready to pierce Yang Ling's magic beast array. Seeing that there were no heavy infantry and no protective barriers in the enemy formation, a cold light flashed through their eyes, knowing that they had already taken the upper hand.

  Under the heavens, no one can stop the collective charge of the Dark Knights. The elite cavalry of the Ross Empire cannot do it, nor does the Templar dare to block their edge. The low-level demons in front may be numerous, but there will be no exception!

  As soon as the other side rushed over, Yang Ling no longer hesitated and ordered them to take action immediately.

  First to take action was the army of evil eyes, under the command of the Evil Eye Tyrant, they emitted a wave of dazzling rays that could cause blindness. Closely following, the spider army hiding underground began to launch a fierce attack, sending out waves of ground thorns rising and falling in succession!

  *ahem*

  Under the sudden attack, the leading dark knight and his warhorse's eyes were stabbed with pain, as if their eyeballs had been dug out alive. Before they could even react, they were pierced by the earth thorns that rose from the ground like a beehive!

  "Retreat, retreat quickly!"

  Something didn't seem right, the remaining Dark Knights hastily retreated, but unfortunately it was too late. The Golems and Wyverns' army swooped in with a loud "whoosh" and tore apart several knights at the front in an instant.

  The dark knights wore heavy armor, but in the face of the all-piercing horned beast and the stone statue's half-inch long sharp claws, it was completely useless!

  As she watched the dense, swarming Angle Beasts and Red-haired Wolf Spiders, their lightning-fast speed and sharp attacks, Merrill's heart sank further. She had never thought that after a period of not seeing them, these low-level magical beasts would once again advance, possessing such terrifying attacking power.

  Just as the Dark Knights were about to retreat, on the verge of total annihilation, suddenly, a ripple appeared in the air beside Meriel, followed by an old man in black robes who mysteriously materialized out of thin air.

  With a cold snort, the black-robed elder raised his hand and sent out a circle of dark light. Wherever it passed, whether it was the stone statue demons or the horned beasts, they all became motionless like carvings, even the spiders hiding underground were no exception.

  "Higher-order group petrification?"

  Witnessing the bizarre scene, Tian Huo Yuna was shocked and stepped in front of Yang Ling. With a murmured incantation, she emitted a pale red glow that enveloped herself and Yang Ling tightly.

  "Haha, not bad, it's getting more interesting!" After petrifying Yang Ling's beast army, the black-robed old man smiled faintly, seemingly deep in thought as he gazed at Yang Ling and Yuna.

  "Mentor, I..." The black-robed elder appeared and Meryl let out a sigh of relief. Originally, she wanted to explain a few more sentences, but after hearing the mentor's cold hum, she immediately shut her mouth tightly.

  "Yang, this is a group petrification spell. Without Saint-level strength, it's absolutely impossible to cast such a terrifying spell instantly!" Seeing Yang Ling's serious expression, Yuna quietly reminded him and prepared a retreat route.

  Master of Sacred Steps?

  Yang Ling swallowed hard, originally thinking that the other party was just a high-level magic guide. He never thought that the black-robed old man would be a Saint-level, no wonder one move could make most of the magical beasts lose their ability to act!

  Looking at the legendary Sacred Stair, looking at the unfathomable smile of the black-robed old man, his heart sank deeper. At this moment, he finally felt the power of the Sacred Stair, and in the face of their strong strength, even a large number of low-level demons were useless. Perhaps, only by taming a few spider-like monsters would they have any chance of winning!

  After the shock, Yang Ling quickly calmed down and thought of a way to retreat with all his might.

  After bringing Tian Hu You Na and the Unicorn into the Witch's Space, it might be possible to escape with the instantaneous earth teleportation magic, but wanting to save the Hornet Beast, Evil Eye, and Spider etc. magical beast army is not a small difficulty. After all, the enemy in front of them is not a Magic Seeker, nor some Royal Great Swordsman, but rather a high-ranking Saint from the Tai Leng Continent!
