Chapter 46: There’s A Half-Step Sage Realm Expert in this Barren Northernmost Land??

“Isn’t that Hoover from the Rose Family? Why is he here?!”

“Hoover is the future patriarch of the Rose family and will be in charge of the entire Rose family in the future. Why is he here at this time?”

“I heard some rumors. It seems that Hoover is looking for someone to break through to the half-step sage realm!”

“Oh my God, Hoover is about to break through to the half-step sage realm? Isn’t he only in his early thirties… his talent is too terrifying.”

“Yeah, even in the entire empire, Hoover’s talent is considered top-notch.”

“Let’s not talk about that for now. His brother Malina died tragically in front of Hoover. This mysterious man has started a blood feud with the Rose clan!”

Right now, on the ground in the northernmost region, quite a few people were chatting amongst themselves.

Hoover looked calmly at Lin Lei, one hand on his walking stick, the other behind his back. He stared down at Lin Lei as he spoke.

Lin Lei didn’t even look at Hoover. Right now, the mageforce in his body was surging constantly!

A brand new level of insight was being formed!

The sage level!

Right now, Lin leiwas at the critical moment of his breakthrough. With a single thought from Lin Lei, he would instantly break through to the sage level!

“You are indeed very arrogant.”

“I’m asking you a question, and you dared to ignore me.”

Hoover’s eyes were ice cold, so gloomy that it seemed as though water could be wrung out.

An invisible killing intent was slowly directed towards Lin Lei, who was on the airship.

Lin Lei slowly calmed down the mageforce fluctuations in his body, then turned to look in Hoover’s direction.

Lin Lei’s was silent, as though this was nothing to him at all.

“Isn’t it just killing a few people? What’s the big deal?”

Right now, Lin Lei didn’t care at all about this.

This sort of scum, born into the comfortable, pampered life of a large clan, was more like a beast. Killing Lin Lei would impose no psychological burden on him at all.

Hoover’s eyes were cold.

At this moment, a fierce, powerful aura suddenly burst forth from Hoover’s body!

Ninth level archmage!

Peak!

Hoover’s mana fluctuations were clearly displayed.

A great battle was about to break out at any moment!

A powerful aura burst out from Hoover’s body.

At this moment, because of this powerful mageforce fluctuation, Hoover’s suit was fluttering despite the windless weather and the his long hair was fluttering non-stop.

His eyes flickered, as if there was a terrifying existence within, so people did not dare to look directly at him.

He was intimidating to behold!

“As the eldest son of the Rose clan, Hoover, I order you to kowtow in front of me and admit your mistakes. If you follow me to the Rose clan and explain your sins, perhaps you will be spared.”

Lin Lei shook his head helplessly.

Why were these people from the Imperial Magus clan all so arrogant.

It was as though they were carved from the same mold.

Lin Lei said calmly, “How is your relationship with your little brother?”

Hoover was stunned by Lin Lei’s sudden question. He subconsciously replied, “My little brother, Malina, and I are family who share the same blood. Naturally, we are extremely close.”

Lin Lei nodded, then said calmly, “Since that’s the case, I imagine that your little brother must be very lonely in the infernal realm by himself. I’ll send you down as well.”

After speaking, Lin Lei slowly pointed his right hand towards Hoover.

A surge of powerful mageforce slowly began to condense.

The Hoover in front of him was merely the eldest son of the little Rose clan. He wasn’t worthy of Lin Lei’s Damocles sword at all.

As a half-step sage, Lin Lei had already placed his opponent at the sage level. Even a peak-stage Grand Magus of the ninth rank was nothing more than trash in Lin Lei’s eyes.

“You dare to attack me?”

“Interesting!”

Seeing that Lin Lei was planning to attack him, Hoover let out a cold snort, a disdainful look on his face.

“I’ll show you the wisdom of the past generations of the mighty figures of our Rose clan!”

“Rosette magic, rosette magic…”

Just as Hoover was speaking, Lin Leis voice rang out from the heavens.

“Lock.”

In almost an instant, Hoover’s entire body came to a halt.

In fact, both of his hands were still gesturing to unleash a spell. A mysterious energy suddenly charged into Hoover’s four limbs and bones, sealing off his mana circuits!

The half-used mageforce was forcibly dissipated by Hoover’s mana circuits.

It was as though he had used up all of his strength to punch a cotton ball. Hoover was feeling extremely uncomfortable!

What the hell was going on! ?

Hoover wanted to speak, but there was no way he could.

Just as Hoover was in deep thought, the shadow of Lin Lei’s foot had already appeared above his head.

Bang!

Lin Lei stomped down viciously on Hoover’s head, sending him crashing into the ground.

An enormous crater, shaped like Lin Lei’s shoe print, appeared on the ground of the northernmost region.

To those who were stronger than Lin Lei, locking spells seemed to be of no use.

But to those who were weaker than Lin Lei, in the face of the power of the locking spell, it was a one-sided massacre.

Rumble..!

At this moment, a green defensive barrier suddenly appeared around Hoover’s body, forcibly blocking most of the power of Lin Lei’s previous kick.

“A grandmaster-level defensive magical artifact?”

“He really is the eldest son of the first wife. The treatment he receives is different from those people.”

Lin Lei looked at the battered Hoover on the ground, and couldn’t help but nod.

“From the looks of it, if I don’t use my full strength, I won’t be able to take you down in a short period of time.”

In the next moment, Lin Lei’s mageforce was completely unleashed!

An incomparably terrifying pressure, centered around Lin Lei, spread out across the entire plains!

A wild wind howled!

Everyone held their breaths. Lin Lei’s power as a half-step sage had finally been completely revealed to everyone.

“Half-step sage!?”

“Oh my god, he’s actually a half-step sage!”

Countless people raised their heads, staring at the sky as they cried out in shock.

They had all been utterly stunned!

They had thought that Lin Lei’s power was at most at the peak of the Grand Magus realm, but now that Lin Lei had personally slapped them in the face, the mysterious elite in front of them was actually at the half-step sage-level.

And then, Lin Lei’s next foot directly stomped in Hoover’s direction!

Boom!

The green barrier protecting Hoover was now filled with cracks.

Seeing the incomparably powerful aura in the sky, Hoover’s heart was filled with incomparable shock.

“How can there be a half-step sage expert in this barren northernmost region?”

Before Hoover could recover from his shock, Linley’s foot stomped down once more!

Rumble!

The green barrier of light couldn’t hold on any longer. It shattered into pieces!

Right now, just the remaining shockwaves from Lin Lei’s foot, after most being blocked by the light barrier, caused Hoover’s entire body to bleed.

Even Hoover’s mageforce circuits were beginning to crack!

Having personally experienced how terrifying Lin Lei was, Hoover was now on the verge of collapse!

All he had done was put on a show to give himself a way out.

Otherwise, as the eldest son of the Rose clan, he would lose all of his dignity. How could he continue to become the leader of the Rose clan in the future?

But in the face of Lin Lei’s terrifying power, who cares about his little brother, or his clan’s honor for that fact? Compared to his own life, it didn’t matter at all.

He had only come to the northernmost region to find an opportunity to break through to the half-step sage realm!
