Two more fifth rank supreme experts lost their lives at the hands of Young Master Wei, marking the twenty-first kill he has made. Out of the enemy's team of eighty, only nineteen remain!
However, Young Master Wei also paid a considerable price during this wave of ambush. The enemies consisted of fifth rank supreme experts, far beyond the previous third and fourth ranks. Even when struck, they were capable of a deadly counterattack. Young Master Wei was dealt a severe blow to his left shoulder, and it was this counterattack that nearly allowed the two protectors to encircle him together.
Watching helplessly as the green figure darted into the forest, leaving no trace, the two protectors looked defeated, their powerlessness evident.
They had never expected that this “fortuitous encounter” would evolve into such a dire situation.
Just a moment of greed led to such heavy and dire consequences?
“It is pointless to say anything further!” the Second Protector decisively stated, “We must leave this forest at full speed and plan our next move.”
“Understood!” Miao Zhendong's eyes burned with fury, “I will make this monster pay dearly!”
With their minds made up, they signaled the remaining nineteen to fly up into the treetops.
Miao Zhendong said, “The monster's greatest advantage is its ability to use the forest for stealth, so we must leave the wooded area. For the time being, we will maintain a high-altitude trajectory, only landing briefly to rest and catch our breath when our internal energy begins to wane. In the open sky, without any cover, we believe we can react in time to any of this monster's attacks. Even if we can't retaliate, at least we can avoid further casualties!”
“Agreed!”
Everyone responded in unison. This method was indeed the safest way to proceed. While prolonged flight would deplete their cultivation level, the choice between exhausting their energy and maintaining their lives was obvious.
Just as the word “good” left his lips, a sixth rank supreme expert in the middle of the group suddenly let out an exclamation, and then his entire body plummeted down as if pulled by some tremendous force. The trees shook violently, and the sound of a powerful fist struck the air.
The remaining eighteen rushed to rescue him at the fastest speed, only to see a mass of green shadows enveloping the sixth rank supreme expert, beating him mercilessly!
“Stop it, monster!” The two protectors shouted in unison, drawing their weapons.
A sinister laugh echoed back, “Did you think you could just fly above me without consequence? Feel free to try, go ahead and try…”
Before the voice faded from their ears, the figure had already vanished without a trace.
The ambushed sixth rank supreme expert lay on the ground, his bones completely shattered, blood bubbling from his mouth. His eyes, wide with horror, betrayed his helplessness; he couldn't utter a single word.
He was clearly on the brink of complete destruction of his spirit. With such injuries, even a supreme expert could only await death.
“That damned monster! It actually destroyed his dantian and vital energy first! We are unable to save him!” the Second Protector gritted his teeth, the muscles in his face twitching.
This was the first casualty among the sixth rank supreme experts.
It was well-known that cultivators at the sixth rank supreme had already crossed the boundary between immortal and mortal, reaching the level of eternal spirit anchoring. If their source was not destroyed, even if their physical body died, their spiritual consciousness could still survive.
But this monster was clearly aware of that and destroyed the Essence right from the start! It severed his chance of survival completely!
The sixth rank supreme expert gasped for breath, looking pleadingly at the others. For him at this moment, struggling to survive was merely endless torment; he could only pray for a swift death!
Miao Zhendong sighed deeply, “Go… it’s my fault that you’re suffering…”
