The arrival of this crimson moon was too sudden for both the Hunter Association and the monsters atop Sky Pillar Peak.
However, the rockets and grenades had already been fired and could not be recalled. The undead, having lost half their strength, suffered heavy casualties in an instant.
Those that could withstand it suddenly couldn't, those that could dodge suddenly couldn't, and those that could self-recover simply perished.
To put it simply, the effect was remarkable!
Sun Shanxing immediately realized that the superpowered individual creating the crimson moon was on their side, so he unhesitatingly ordered the artillery to fire two more volleys.
Seeing that the monsters outside had suffered significant casualties, Iliyate prepared to end the crimson moon. This thing not only restricted the undead but also superpowered individuals.
His next task was to infiltrate the cave and assassinate Wen Li. While the crimson moonlight of ordinary structures could easily penetrate, it was another matter for the Federal Peak, Sky Pillar Peak.
However, before ending the crimson moon, Iliyate directly unleashed a pillar of bloody energy, reducing the guarding slime monsters to dust. He also cleared the entrance, which had been contaminated by them, before finally ending the crimson moon in the sky.
Iliyate had been annoyed by the slime monsters for a long time. Such filthy beings should not exist in the world. Just looking at their appearance gave him goosebumps.
Following that, Iliyate transformed into a swarm of bloody bats and flitted into the cave with chirps and squeaks.
Along the way, there were some undead guards and undead maids, but all of them turned into mummified corpses as Iliyate passed by.
There were other high-ranking undead within the cave, but only two posed a true threat to Iliyate: his target, Wen Li, and the "Glutton," Yan Qi, who was always by Wen Li's side!
As Iliyate passed, Yan Qi merely watched him with cold eyes. He then picked up a mummified corpse, which instantly transformed into a giant piece of beef jerky. Yan Qi then began to eat it bit by bit.
Afterward, Iliyate saw Wen Li, seated on a throne, wearing a tilted crown.
Wen Li's face bore prominent scars, which made even his distinctive small eyes less noticeable. Upon seeing Iliyate, a hint of confusion appeared on his face.
According to the intelligence he possessed, there shouldn't have been such a true-order blood clan member coming to attack him.
"I am curious, what is your reason for assassinating me?"
Wen Li said, gently tapping the crown on his head. The crown was made entirely of gold and was inscribed with distorted undead patterns.
Iliyate did not reply, directly flinging a pillar of bloody energy.
His mission requirements did not include chatting with Wen Li. His task was to eliminate Wen Li before the Hunter Association arrived.
Wen Li let out a cold snort, extended his other hand, and condensed scarlet gas on it. Then, a scarlet energy beam of the same thickness shot out from his hand.
Iliyate's attack dispersed upon contact, and his arm was also turned into powder by the scarlet energy beam.
Wen Li stood up from his throne and stretched his muscles. Iliyate's attack was an unexpected situation for him, but he could handle this level of surprise.
"It should still be a few minutes before the Hunter Association arrives here. Until then, I'll use you to warm up."
Iliyate's arm instantly recovered, and a hint of madness that was not normally present appeared on his face as he licked his lips frantically.
He had already been influenced by the scarlet power.
...
After the cannon fire ceased, Sun Shanxing's figure shot out like a cannonball.
The other demon hunters, however, split into three teams and advanced steadily.
If Wen Li chose to flee, he would inevitably encounter a pair of demon hunters and face a encirclement.
If he did not flee, then these three teams would converge, and the outcome would be the same.
Wen Wen and Wu Liugen ran at the forefront. When they encountered a few monsters, before they could even make a move, the ranged attacks from the superpowered individuals behind them killed them directly.
Behind them were numerous superpowered individuals, including Gu Panxi and Kong Die.
However, they were all mixed in the crowd, not appearing particularly prominent. Only Chu Wei and the two unnamed mob demon hunters were close to Wen Wen and others.
Chu Wei's outstanding performance against the demonic-speech meat mountain was all seen by Wu Liugen, so there was no reason for Wen Wen to have Chu Wei stay in the first echelon.
As for the two mob demon hunters, they were simply running closer.
After running for a short while, Wen Wen and the others encountered the only pass that needed to be breached in this operation.
Since there were only three paths leading to the mountain cave, the undead had naturally stationed heavy troops on all three paths. Although these forces were now only at half strength, it was still enough to cause some trouble for Wen Wen and the others.
In fact, if not for Iliyate's crimson moon, the pass here would not have even suffered any casualties.
Here was a skeletal mage with upper-order strength, and among all upper-orders, he was one of the top-tier.
Normally, the moment the artillery barrage arrived, the skeletal mage could erect a barrier protecting the entire pass.
However, due to the crimson moon, the original bone plates had turned into a bone net, so the cannonballs had caused significant casualties.
Unfortunately, the crimson moon was gone now, so the skeletal mage was full of confidence.
Although he could not be an opponent for two true-orders, he could still hold them off.
This skeletal mage was never a particularly prominent undead. He looked like a mob character, and the skeletal barrier he set up also looked like cheap goods. If placed among other low-level skeletons, it would be difficult to distinguish him.
But this was not a disadvantage; it was an advantage!
Unless one knew him, no one would consider him an upper-order undead.
Therefore, Wen Wen, Wu Liugen, and the others naturally bypassed him and went to attack the more dangerous-looking undead.
The skeletal mage smirked, raised his staff, and prepared to give these arrogant living beings a surprise.
Just then, he saw two ordinary demon hunters with no distinguishing features rush towards him.
Wen Wen and the others bypassed him, not because they were leaving the skeletal mage alone, but because they believed that a bottom-tier undead like the skeletal mage did not require their intervention.
They would have other superpowered individuals accompanying them deal with him, so naturally, the ordinary demon hunters following Wen Wen came to deal with him.
The skeletal mage raised his hand, intending to instantly kill these two demon hunters before ambushing the two true-orders.
Then...
His head fell to the ground!
