Chapter 022 Challenge Azure Snake Lord
Assassin is a branch of scouts, originally meant for gathering intelligence and surveying dangers. It later became associated with killing.
"Be careful, if something goes wrong, come back immediately," Yang Chen said with concern.
Lu Ying turned to look at Yang Chen, her eyes filled with emotion, and nodded firmly before using Ghostly Step to explore the unknown.
"Everyone, be cautious. Even though we have twenty-eight Fighting Spirits, it's better to be safe! Losing even one brother would make me regret it," Yang Chen said solemnly.
"Isn't Leader overthinking? We faced forty Fourth-Order Monsters outside before, and we made it through just fine," Zhang Tian replied.
"This is different from outside. The strongest Fourth-Order Monster we just encountered was only a four-star Five-Star, equivalent to our Five-Star Battle Spirit level. However, the Demon Beasts guarding this area should be at least four-star Five-Star," Yang Chen explained, his expression filled with worry.
"Moreover, there will definitely be Fourth Stage Perfection Demon Beasts." Just as he finished speaking, Lu Ying flew back from a distance.
Kneeling before Yang Chen, she respectfully reported, "Report Leader, there are forty-one Demon Beasts five hundred meters ahead: twenty four-star Five-Star Demon Beasts, ten six-star Demon Beasts, six seven-star Demon Beasts, three eight-star Demon Beasts, no ninth-order monsters, and one fourth stage perfection. Additionally, there is an Azure Snake Beast undergoing Molting, with dragon-like horns already growing on its head. It is expected to complete its Molting in less than three hours. The fourth stage perfection is also an Azure Snake, likely a pair."
Upon hearing Lu Ying's report, Yang Chen felt relieved and said, "The difficulty won't be too great. Breakthrough Legion, you lead your people from the Breakthrough Camp to kill a four-star six-star Demon Beast as quickly as possible, then retreat immediately. If I'm not mistaken, all the Demon Beasts below four-star six-star will come after you."
"Understood." Zhang Tian knelt respectfully with fifteen members of the Spirit Realm, accepting the order before rising and leaving with his group of sixteen.
Half a minute later, a piercing roar of a beast echoed, followed by the sounds of battle. About ten seconds later, a voice filled with despair emerged once again.
"Roar." "Roar." Dozens of angry roars resounded in the sky. In the white mist, sixteen figures appeared.
"Form ranks!" The eighty or so figures around Yang Chen immediately entered combat mode.
"Those at the Battle Master level, form groups of thirty, with half from the Heavenly Kill Camp and half from the Breaking Army Camp. You sixty will engage two of the heads; if it becomes too difficult, withdraw immediately!" After saying this, he leaped away, and everyone closely followed.
"Lu Ying, let's work together to quickly hunt down a four-star Six Star beast. The rest at the Battle Spirit level will each take on one; those who can win should do their best, while those who cannot should hold it off!" At the same time, he plunged his Dragon Thread Sword fiercely into the ground. Within a five hundred meter radius, all hostile creatures had their attributes reduced by 10%.
"Understood!" This response was filled with fighting spirit!
"Lu Ying, the spider on the far left. Deceitful Ghost Step! Trickery!" As soon as he finished speaking, his figure soared onto the back of a four-star six-stage spider, and Lu Ying's figure also appeared there. Undoubtedly, in a state of fear, the spider had no defensive power at all. Two seconds later, it fell to the ground as a corpse, its green essence surging towards Yang Chen's Nine-Pointed Star.
"Xiao Tian, you take care of cleaning up the Battlefield." After saying this, he jumped into the Battlefield at the Battle Master level and quickly joined the fight to reduce their pressure. Although Deceitful Ghost Step was still on cooldown, Backstab Throat Kiss could still inflict significant damage on the beasts. During the cooldown of Deceitful Ghost Step, Yang Chen's main task was to ensure balance in battle and prevent his team members from facing life-threatening situations. Their only hope now rested in Lu Ying and Zhang Tian's hands—not to mention Xie Yao. With Lu Ying and Zhang Tian working together, they could kill a four-star Six Star beast in about five minutes.
However, Xie Yao was even more terrifying; with just one dagger, she could hunt down a four-star Six Star beast in five minutes. In Yang Chen's eyes, this was still her intentionally holding back. The system had already informed Yang Chen of Xie Yao's level. The reason Yang Chen dared to venture into the beast's lair was that Xie Yao's presence was his greatest support.
Everything proceeded smoothly without major incidents. Whenever there was an opportunity, Yang Chen would strike twice at a beast; as soon as Deceitful Ghost Step cooled down, another beast would fall. Originally, it took Lu Ying and Zhang Tian five minutes to hunt down one beast; however, as time went on and fewer beasts remained while more Battle Spirits withdrew from combat, within three minutes another beast would lie dead here, its essence contributing to Yang Chen. Half an hour later, after Xiao Tian handed him the last four-star Five-Star Demon Core, it signified that the battle had come to an end.
Aside from a few members at the Battle Master level who sustained minor injuries, everyone else merely consumed some fighting energy. All the corpses of the beasts on the ground were shriveled beyond recognition; their harvest was immense.
"Everyone gather around me and sit cross-legged." Yang Chen instructed, and everyone complied. Eighty or ninety green threads emanated from Yang Chen's body and entered between everyone's brows forming Hexagrams. The essence from forty four-star beasts may not be enormous individually; however, collectively it was substantial. When evenly distributed among everyone, it helped each person recover their fighting energy while some of those at the Battle Master level even advanced by one rank.
After everyone had recovered, Yang Chen said, "If we go deeper, we will encounter Fourth Stage Seven Stars, Eight-Star, and even peak-level monsters. Brothers below the Spirit Fighting realm, you should leave first and regroup with the others outside."
"Understood." Sixty to seventy people then left.
Yang Chen stepped forward slowly, picked up the Dragon Lure Sword that was stuck in the ground, and said, "There’s no need to elaborate on the dangers inside. If I dare to keep you here, I have the confidence to bring you out." After saying this, Yang Chen glanced at Xie Yao and subtly nodded. Then, Xie Yao's figure disappeared.
Everyone's gaze was focused on Yang Chen, naturally unaware of anything else. "In our group, there are twenty-eight Spirit Fighters: two Six Star Spirit Fighters, six Five-Star Spirit Fighters, twelve Four Star Spirit Fighters, six Three Star Spirit Fighters, and two Two Star Spirit Fighters. (Xie Yao is counted among the Five-Star Spirit Fighters.) We still have some confidence in dealing with six Fourth Stage Seven Stars monsters. Do you believe in me?"
"We do!"
"I believe in you; you are all the best. You are not cowards!" Yang Chen shouted loudly to boost morale and fill them with fighting spirit so they wouldn't fear the monsters and could unleash their full potential.
"Let's go, set off!" Yang Chen commanded.
"We are the best; we are not cowards!" After shouting this, everyone's eyes were filled with fierce flames of battle.
As the group continued to advance into the monster gathering area, they discovered six Fourth Stage Seven Stars monsters lying flat on the ground. Behind these six monsters, an Azure Giant Serpent was staring intently at a certain spot in the sky, its eyes revealing deep despair.
