Chapter 480: Rooting Out the Problem (Fourth Update Request)
The most significant aspect was their observation of how these ten ninth-level experts treated Zhao Hai. It’s essential to understand that ninth-level experts are among the most elite on the continent; they wouldn’t bow to just anyone. Even if they did, it would only be to another ninth-level expert. Regardless of one’s identity, they would not bow to you, not even if you were the king of the Roson Empire.
However, the ten ninth-level experts of the budah family bowed to Zhao Hai and appeared completely submissive, which starkly contrasted with how other families would treat ninth-level experts.
Such an attitude astonished Lando and the others, and even the ninth-level experts in the sky were taken aback. They genuinely did not expect such a scene.
Generally, the combat power of the ninth-level experts from the orc tribe is higher than that of the human race. However, they are also prouder and would never engage with humans, let alone become a patron for a human family. But what seemed impossible was becoming a reality with Zhao Hai.
At this moment, they had no time to think further as the ninth-level experts of the budah family had already lunged at the remnant wolf evil sword, and twenty ninth-level experts were engaged in fierce combat.
Dark Demon stared blankly at the situation. He had never expected someone would intervene forcefully, especially with ten ninth-level experts. This was even more powerful than their Karlqi family, and it was terrifying.
Meigen and the others stood behind Zhao Hai, not moving at all. They knew those individuals could not escape. These were just ten ninth-level experts, and they had already gained the upper hand. Not to mention, there were thirty more ninth-level experts in Zhao Hai's space who were stronger than these ten.
Lando stared blankly at Zhao Hai, who was chatting with Meigen. Fear gripped his heart—not because Zhao Hai was too powerful, but due to past events.
He had once considered asking ninth-level experts to deal with Zhao Hai. Had he followed through with that plan, it would have been disastrous for the Karlqi family.
The battle among the ninth-level experts could not be resolved quickly. Although the budah family’s ninth-level experts had gained the upper hand, it was unlikely they would defeat the ninth-level experts of the robert family in a short time. Thus, the battle continued.
However, at that moment, Dark Demon and the others joined the fray. The remnant wolf evil sword was already at a disadvantage, and with Dark Demon’s involvement, the situation became even more perilous for them.
The battle in the sky raged on while the fight on the ground was nearing its conclusion. At this time, the undead beings Zhao Hai had sent to attack Shadow Soldier Mountain had already charged up the mountain, surrounding the robert family members, leaving them with no chance to escape.
At that moment, Robert and Terry's faces turned as bitter as gall. They could never have imagined today would turn out like this.
Terry glared at Zhao Hai, his eyes seemingly ready to spit fire. He believed his entire life had been ruined by Zhao Hai, losing everything to him. He was determined to kill Zhao Hai.
Thinking of this, Terry instinctively reached into his bosom, where he had a magic scroll—an ancient magic scroll. Many types of ancient magic scrolls existed, but most were random-direction scrolls; only a few were quality fixed-point scrolls or powerful forbidden spell scrolls.
By chance, Terry had obtained a fixed-point magic scroll. This scroll was extraordinary; once someone tore it open, they could instantaneously teleport to anywhere within a hundred square miles that the person desired. Such scrolls were extremely rare, even in ancient times.
Terry understood that the whip in Zhao Hai's hand was not ordinary; it was likely an ancient magical item with special abilities. However, the whip was coiled around Zhao Hai's waist, and as a mage, he could not move as quickly as a warrior. If he could tear the scroll and teleport right in front of Zhao Hai, he would have the confidence to strike and kill Zhao Hai in one blow.
