Chapter 88: The Unblinking Killer, Lian Yun
As Lian Yun moved, the Ten People naturally followed. However, whenever Zhou Tong and Murong Ying attempted to walk ahead of Lian Yun, he would accelerate.
After several unsuccessful attempts, the two decided not to push their luck and reluctantly trailed behind Lian Yun. The other eight members slightly spread out behind the three, forming an arrowhead formation.
Once this arrowhead was established, Lian Yun surged forward.
Like a bowstring being pulled taut, Lian Yun instantly increased the team's speed to its maximum, revealing the gaps between them!
The arrowhead shape quickly distorted, with the tip almost breaking away from the group, while the formation became uneven—some were far ahead while others lagged behind.
However, Lian Yun soon slowed down, reducing his speed to match that of Azure Flower, who was moving at only ninety percent of her capacity.
This meant that everyone could advance quickly while still maintaining a degree of flexibility to respond to unexpected situations!
Understanding Lian Yun's intention, Zhou Tong and Murong Ying couldn't help but feel a spark of realization.
Even in a dire situation, Murong Ying couldn't help but smile lightly and said, "It seems that Young Master Yun is indeed more suited to be the captain than we are!"
"Tch~~" Zhou Tong scoffed, feeling somewhat unconvinced. He had plenty of tricks up his sleeve; it was just that his own speed wasn't the fastest among their group, especially not in this eleven-member team.
It wasn't that he couldn't think of a solution; it was simply that he couldn't execute it.
Murong Ying didn't mock him; she merely smiled calmly.
She knew that in terms of grand battles, neither she nor Zhou Tong had ever encountered the kind of battlefield that Lian Yun faced three years ago. However, if it came down to who should be the captain, Lian Yun might not necessarily be more suitable than her and Zhou Tong.
The reason was simple: Lian Yun was overly protective and did not understand the need for certain sacrifices. For instance, right now, was it really wise for him to lead from the front? Had he considered that if something happened to him, the entire team would be thrown into chaos?
Clearly, he had not thought about this.
Although they had not known each other for long, Murong Ying still recognized some of Lian Yun's strengths. She felt that if even Lian Yun could not lead them out of this predicament, they would truly struggle to escape the current crisis.
The group pressed forward urgently and soon approached the battlefield of hundreds.
Before they even made contact, Zhou Tong shouted from a distance, "The Evil Spirit Tide is approaching from behind! If you don't want to die, run!"
His words indicated that they were not here to attack; they simply had no choice but to cross through the battlefield.
The mention of the Evil Spirit Tide seemed to silence even the most frenzied individuals. The chaotic battlefield of Howling of Ghosts and Wolves fell into an eerie quiet.
It was well-known that Evil Spirits were feared even by the Demon Clan, and the Evil Spirit Tide was not something a mere few hundred warriors could contend with.
Yet one person roared in anger, "Stop them!"
Zhu Yang had unexpectedly encountered a rival team tonight. He was determined to annihilate them even if it meant fighting at night. Having gained the upper hand, he believed victory was inevitable. He never expected someone would come out to disrupt his plans.
No matter the circumstances, his anger could not be diminished.
However, at his furious roar, Lian Yun merely curled the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, he cared not for right or wrong; he only wanted to lead his team out of danger. Facing hundreds from two teams might be perilous, but if it were just one team, the threat would be significantly reduced!
This way, the other team might not only refrain from attacking them but could also lend a helping hand.
In the silent arena, his shout echoed loudly, even in the night, making it particularly noticeable. With a clear target in mind, Lian Yun slightly adjusted his direction.
"Captain, should we retreat or fight?"
"Wait a moment. Regardless of their intentions, they are helping us. As long as they can take down a few of Zhu Yang's people, we will assist!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong and Murong Ying, who were following closely behind Lian Yun, exchanged glances while maintaining their pace.
This was because the implication behind those words was quite profound.
Only by eliminating a few of Zhu Yang's members could they ensure that the newcomers were not allies of Zhu Yang. Moreover, if they managed to kill members of Zhu Yang's team, this new team could turn their disadvantage into an advantage. Continuing the fight would increase their chances of victory.
This was also a great opportunity to eliminate an opponent.
However, Lian Yun did not dwell on such thoughts; instead, he coldly declared, "Those who block my path shall die!"
These four words spread like a chilling aura throughout the arena, causing hundreds to shiver in fear.
Including Zhou Tong and Murong Ying, the other Ten People felt a slight tension in their bodies.
They knew that Lian Yun, although righteous, was not afraid of slaughter; however, they had never imagined that Lian Yun could exude such a strong killing intent.
As for Lian Yun, before his words had even faded, he instantly broke away from the team, charging forward for a distance, passing through several people blocking the way ahead, and then swiftly returned to the group.
As the entire team approached the battlefield, the few people blocking their path fell silently to the ground. Several Ghost Battle Bodies disintegrated, releasing over twenty Spirits. Some fled quickly while others attacked Lian Yun and his companions.
This was likely the reason behind the chaotic scene that had unfolded among the hundreds of people earlier.
Perhaps after several of the Ten People had died, hundreds or thousands of Spirits gained their freedom and began attacking both teams.
Yet, the eleven did not seem to care, like a sharp sword piercing directly into the battlefield.
At this moment, Zhu Yang regained a bit of his rationality and suddenly felt an overwhelming fear, realizing he had offended someone he should not have.
But with the arrow already loosed, there was no turning back. Thus, he could only grit his teeth and roar, "Everyone, charge! Avenge our brothers!"
"Kill!"
On the other side, angry shouts echoed as well.
The battlefield, which had seemed to freeze in time, instantly returned to its previous chaos.
However, the situation was different at this moment, as eleven others, including Lian Yun, had joined the fray.
Lian Yun broke away from the team once more, taking down several foes ahead. Zhou Tong and Murong Ying quickly moved alongside each other, increasing the team's mobility to allow Lian Yun to return to them sooner, minimizing any potential unnecessary accidents.
But soon after, Zhou Tong suddenly shouted, "You bunch of fools! Your leader has fled, and you still come seeking death? Do you really think we won't wipe you out?"
At that moment, Zhou Tong was somewhat riding on Lian Yun's coattails. With Lian Yun up front acting as a decoy, Zhou Tong positioned himself as a figure akin to a captain in the rear.
If his subordinates were already so formidable and merciless in killing, how much more ruthless would this so-called captain be?
Then, some members of Zhu Yang's team noticed that Zhu Yang had quietly retreated. This caused Zhu Yang's team of over a hundred people to lose their fighting spirit and become increasingly anxious.
"Lay down your Ghost Slaves and weapons! Those who surrender to my Silver Prosperity Group will not be killed!"
Suddenly, more than half of the people in front of Lian Yun sheathed their Ghost Battle Bodies and dropped their weapons. Even those who did not put down their weapons hurriedly stepped aside, not daring to block Lian Yun's path.
Thus, a clear passage opened up for Lian Yun, leading directly toward Zhu Yang ahead.
