Divine-level Base

Although Grand Commander Adnan was only at the Great Spirit Master Peak, he was the core of the entire Royal Guard. As long as he was present, the Royal Guard could even fight against an expert of the Spirit Sect Realm.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A cold glint flashed in Adnan’s eyes as he activated his Spiritual Power and fired a Triple Shot. Three gray beams of light blasted toward Shu Feng’s head almost instantly.

Inside the Mysterious Base, the heads of three Kings of Goblins exploded, splattering blood everywhere.

Shu Feng tumbled away, rolling awkwardly into a corner of the grand hall.

A look of surprise flashed through Adnan’s eyes. ’He’s not dead? His Blood Contract Skill is that strong?’

SWOOSH!

Camilla opened her Moon’s Eye. Two crescent moons appeared in her pupils as she drew her bow and fired. A streak of black Moonlight shot toward Adnan like a shooting star.

Adnan’s expression changed drastically. A blue Spirit Shield materialized around him as he dropped and rolled.

The black Moonlight slammed into the blue Spirit Shield, pierced right through it, and stabbed into Adnan’s left hand.

Adnan gritted his teeth against the searing pain, dodged into a corner, and fired back a gray beam of light at Camilla.

Camilla, also a battle-hardened, Top Level expert, swayed slightly after her shot and ducked into another corner.

"Bastard, go to hell!!"

Hiding in a corner, furious and alarmed, Shu Feng waved his hand. A dense swarm of Black Iron Demon Sparrows suddenly flew out, pouncing on the surrounding Royal Guards of the Leiyin Republic.

A Royal Guard of the Leiyin Republic had just cut down a Ghost-devouring Demon with his sword when three Black Iron Demon Sparrows descended from above, their claws swiping at his head.

"Damn it!"

The Royal Guard’s face fell. He swung his sword upward, slicing one of the Black Iron Demon Sparrows out of the air.

CRUNCH!

Two Black Dog Illusion Demons suddenly lunged out, biting off the Royal Guard’s legs in a single snap. More Black Dog Illusion Demons swarmed him, tearing the Spirit Master Ninth Layer Royal Guard to pieces.

The Royal Guards of the Leiyin Republic might have been able to hold on for a moment longer, but with the appearance of the Black Iron Demon Sparrows, the integrated air and ground assault instantly crushed their resistance. One after another, the Royal Guards fell in pools of their own blood.

Hundreds of Black Iron Demon Sparrows flew out from the grand hall like a dark cloud, swooping directly toward Adnan.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Wary of Camilla, Adnan didn’t act. The dozens of Top Level Royal Guards beside him opened fire, shooting down the Black Iron Demon Sparrows and the charging Black Dog Illusion Demons one by one.

A vicious glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. With a wave of his hand, a group of giant species polluters appeared.

BOOM! BOOM!

Wielding Steel Pillars, the giant species polluters smashed violently against the palace walls. Like bulldozers, they pulverized the walls one by one.

One after another, the giant species polluters charged directly at the dozens of Top Level Royal Guards surrounding Adnan.

The dozens of Top Level Royal Guards had no choice but to divert some of their firepower to shoot down the giant species polluters. As seasoned veterans, they quickly locked onto the polluters’ vital spots—their heads, chests, and hearts. They soon identified their weaknesses and gunned them down one by one.

Under the cover of the giant species polluters, Ghost-devouring Demons charged out and pounced on the Royal Guards, engaging the Top Level guards in a bloody melee.

Throughout this, Camilla didn’t fire a single arrow, and likewise, Adnan didn’t fire a single shot. They were both Top Level marksmen possessing terrifying long-range power capable of threatening even Spirit Sect Realm experts. Whoever made the first move would be at a disadvantage.

Shu Feng’s figure flickered. He dashed out of the grand hall, using cover to dart toward the exit of the Imperial Palace.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Suddenly, a powerful sense of danger washed over Shu Feng. He twisted his body slightly and dodged behind a rockery.

Two of the three gray beams missed entirely, but the third slammed into Shu Feng’s right shoulder. It shattered a Water Mirror Spirit Shield and hit him squarely. Inside the Base Space, the right shoulder of a King of Goblins exploded into fragments.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Three Arrows, like shooting stars, flew directly toward Adnan, who was hidden in a corner.

Adnan rolled on the ground, taking cover behind a wall.

’Found you!’

At Shu Feng’s command, a thousand Black Iron Demon Sparrows were released, forming a massive dark cloud that swooped directly toward Adnan’s position.

’Damn it!! How does he have so many Summoned Beasts?’

Hiding behind the wall, Adnan watched the thousand Black Iron Demon Sparrows approach, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him. If Camilla weren’t pinning him down, he could have easily kited the thousand Black Iron Demon Sparrows and shot them down one by one.

But in a duel between two Top Level marksmen, being exposed once was enough to put one at a disadvantage. If Adnan were to shoot at the Black Iron Demon Sparrows, he would reveal his own position.

’Damn it!’

Adnan let out a soft sigh, activated a Secret Technique, and flickered away, rapidly fleeing outside the palace.

Shu Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. ’So decisive! This guy is definitely a terrifying enemy! It’s a shame I couldn’t finish him off here.’

Adnan’s Spear Technique was Extraordinary, and his combat experience was incredibly sharp. If he were to advance to the Spirit Sect Realm, he would undoubtedly become an even more terrifying expert than Ah Fei Fei or Su Hamu III.

In fact, even though Ah Fei Fei and Su Hamu III were both Spirit Sect Level experts, they wouldn’t necessarily be a match for Adnan in a real fight. After all, while their cultivation was high, their practical combat experience was far inferior to his.

With Adnan’s escape, the remaining Royal Guards suffered heavy casualties under the siege of the Black Iron Demon Sparrows, Ghost-devouring Demons, Kings of Goblins, Black Dog Illusion Demons, and other Synthetic Warriors. One by one, they were devoured.

Shu Feng no longer rushed to escape the Imperial Palace. Instead, he hid in a corner and used Dominator Mode to possess a Black Iron Demon Sparrow, flying into the battlefield to observe the fight.

Inside the Imperial Palace, the Steel Beast had activated its Two-stage Transformation and was savagely unparalleled. One of Ah Fei Fei’s arms had already been severed by the Steel Beast, and his body was covered in cuts so deep that bone was visible, making him look like a man bathed in blood.

Su Hamu III had also lost an arm. Wielding a Long Sword, he executed the Overlord Dragon Swordsmanship, barely managing to hold his own against the Steel Beast.

Even with the two Spirit Sect Realm experts fighting the Steel Beast together, they were still at a disadvantage. Covered in wounds, their defeat was only a matter of time.

’Ah Fei Fei, I’m sorry, but you’ll have to be the sacrifice!’

Su Hamu III gritted his teeth and suddenly retreated, exposing Ah Fei Fei to the Steel Beast’s blades.
