Chapter 543 - 386: Jue Tian Takes Action (Part 2)
He couldn’t believe that Lin Feng’s squad dared to face them head-on. If they really dared, they might leave a few behind.
"We’ve been discovered," said Zhan Tianyu.
"Hmm, prepare to retreat."
Lin Feng nodded. Although they were ready, even if they could hunt, being too close to the core would be dangerous.
Hunting was not the goal; the lives of the team members were far more important than any sacrifice. Without necessity, Lin Feng would not put the team in danger.
Just as Lin Feng was planning to retreat, he suddenly said, "Wait."
Everyone stopped and looked towards the Abnormal Squad rapidly approaching.
"Looks like they’re planning to go head-to-head."
At this moment, Lin Feng’s eyes became interesting.
He guessed the opponent’s intention, and so did the other team members. They looked at Lin Feng with different expressions, but all waited silently for instructions.
Fifty meters away, Jue Tian was also silently watching the scene.
"Two minutes countdown—quick battle, quick resolve!"
Lin Feng said as the Celestial Punishment Sword appeared in his right hand. He kicked off a tree branch, shot towards the ground, and after landing, quickly charged towards the opponent. The others followed closely, entering combat mode and spreading out.
"They really have guts!"
Seeing that Lin Feng’s squad actually dared to come, Hongdu was a bit surprised and apprehensive, but not much afraid. After shouting, he slightly crouched, then leaped, appearing in front of Lin Feng like a cannonball. His right hand, equipped with sharp claws, swung towards Lin Feng’s face.
"So strong."
Facing his attack, Lin Feng remained motionless. In the next moment, a humanoid frenzied beast appeared where Lin Feng had been sitting.
"Such speed!"
Hongdu’s eyes showed a flash of shock. He knew Lin Feng had absorbed a Stand soul skill, but the speed of this replacement was still beyond his expectations!
Lin Feng and Ye Xing swapped positions and appeared beside Hongdu. He glanced at the latter, flashed by, and disappeared.
Few dared to face Ye Xing head-on; Hongdu was no exception. His figure flickered, conjuring two clones, constantly moving, making it difficult for Ye Xing to determine which was the real body.
"Roar!"
Ye Xing roared, paid no heed, and struck out a punch. The air howled shrilly, the frenzied power directly smashing a clone into smithereens. The rest of Lin Feng’s squad didn’t come forward to support; they each had their own tasks.
Ye Qiu and Yun Tianqi were positioned on either side of Lin Feng’s body.
Facing the three of them, the Abnormal Squad frantically released various attacks.
With such a wide range of attacks, the three could only dodge.
"Dark Night Star Mist!"
As a black mist spread from Ye Qiu’s body, the already dim night became so dark one couldn’t see their own hand. The black mist quickly enveloped the Abnormal Squad, plunging them into pitch darkness.
The feeling of being deprived of sight and perception was unsettling and frightening. Some Abnormal People released wind series soul skills, trying to blow away the mist, but the mist was very thick. Before they knew it, Lin Feng had appeared among the crowd. With an explosion, parasitic seeds scattered quickly through the air, accompanied by white flames that brought lethal pain.
Amidst the screams, Lin Feng and Ye Qiu switched places.
"Hell Dragon Flame."
Within the pitch-black mist, a black dragon pillar shot out from Ye Qiu’s mouth. The terrifying flames instantly ignited the people around, the harrowing screams causing one’s heart to tremble.
As a Divine Level soul skill, Hell Dragon Flame not only boasts frightening temperatures but also features an inextinguishable property. In just a few seconds, it reduced over a dozen people to ashes.
In the chaos, Yun Tianqi in Demon Transformation state flapped his wings, resembling a mantis, wielding scythe-like hands, rapidly reaping lives.
His kill speed was incredibly fast, with cold, emerald-green eyes.
Yu Qiao’s figure had long disappeared, only an occasional crimson dagger appearing in the field, each time claiming a life.
Those Abnormal People who initially attempted to escape suddenly froze, as if puppets being controlled, attacking their companions nearby.
On the periphery, Yun Kai controlled flying swords to slaughter those fleeing.
Since the appearance of the Dark Night Star Mist, chaos and slaughter had erupted.
In just one minute, the Alien Race squad of more than forty was nearly wiped out.
At this moment, Hongdu, covered by blue crystal, was still in shock, with eyes full of despair and remorse.
The biting cold made it impossible for Hongdu to control his body, and with a plonk, he fell to the ground, body shattering into pieces, wounds smooth without blood.
As a King fell, the shadow behind He Jun trembled slightly, an intense energy, far exceeding before, appeared out of nowhere within the team members’ bodies.
The sacrifice of a King, the feedback power far exceeds that of a whole squad.
At that moment, Zhan Tianyu, who was stuck at the peak of Sixth Grade, directly broke through to Seventh Grade. Meanwhile, Huang Tianze and Yang Ningbing also broke through to the peak of Sixth Grade, just one step away from breaking into Seventh Grade.
As a Spirit King, the energy feedback from Hongdu also rapidly boosted the growth of the Demon Spirit. Ye Qiu and Yun Kai felt that their Lifebound Demon Spirits were about to break through to the Sixth Tier.
"Start retreating!"
Lin Feng suddenly shouted. At this time, the sound of slaughter was already coming from not far away.
As soon as Lin Feng’s voice fell, a ghostly figure quietly drifted towards Little Sister Dong.
At this moment, Little Sister Dong, along with He Jun and Hong Yi, was standing together, completely unaware. They hadn’t participated in this battle.
Hong Yi’s brows furrowed slightly, seeming to detect something, though the surrounding floating sand touched nothing.
"Something feels off, be careful..."
Hong Yi warned, the sand began to gather, still not discovering anything, yet there remained a sense of unusualness.
The sand constantly swirled around He Jun, ready to enclose him at any sign of danger.
"Worthy of a Spirit Medium."
Jue Tian looked on in amazement, slowly halting his steps.
He stood just three meters away from Hong Yi and the other two, yet they seemed blind to his presence, completely unaware.
Jue Tian stood still, a grain of sand passing through his body, his figure swayed slightly, moving like a shadow puppet, finally merging with Little Sister Dong’s shadow, eventually slipping into her body entirely.
Little Sister Dong’s body stiffened slightly but quickly returned to normal, not drawing Hong Yi’s attention. However, He Jun’s expression changed slightly, heart racing.
She knew who had come!
Though terrified, she restrained the urge to flee, acting as normal as possible.
If she showed anything unusual or tried to escape, Dong Yunan would surely die.
Not only He Jun, but Lin Feng and his group, having signed the contract, also had slight changes in expression.
"Let’s go."
Lin Feng’s gaze briefly met those of Zhan Tianyu and Yun Tianqi before shifting. The two came to Lin Feng’s side.
With Lin Feng and the others leading the retreat, Little Sister Dong kept her head slightly down and followed alongside He Jun as usual, though at some point, she had already gripped a dagger in her right hand.
Little Sister Dong slightly raised her head, her eyes revealing a hint of coldness.
She followed behind He Jun, secretly thinking, "Since you’re the most crucial in the team, I’ll kill you first!"
Little Sister Dong stepped quickly forward, striking with a swift hand, the sharp dagger aiming silently at He Jun’s back.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce He Jun, Little Sister Dong’s form vanished, suddenly appearing between Yun Tianqi and Zhan Tianyu.
Surprise and regret flickered in her eyes, but as everyone surrounded her, Little Sister Dong did not resist. Instead, she smiled and asked, "How did you find out?"
Although surrounded, Jue Tian showed no fear, because he had already taken control of Dong Yunan.
Kill him, and Dong Yunan would die too!
