"Heh, it seems I overestimated your formation!"
Feeling the auras of the ten people before him, Ye Cangtian’s face revealed a disdainful smile.
He had initially thought that the formation composed of cardinals would at least elevate them to the quasi-Heavenly level, but their current auras were merely at the peak of the Earthly level.
Although their combat power had increased significantly, it still did not meet Ye Cangtian's expectations.
"Kill!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian’s mockery, the ten cardinals were instantly enraged. With a roar, they charged forward.
Clang, clang, clang...
The sounds of clashing weapons immediately filled the air.
Initially, these ten individuals had given Ye Cangtian a small surprise. Although their strength did not meet his expectations, their coordination was almost flawless.
After all, they were brothers who had fought in the Silver Knight Order for decades, so their tacit understanding was second to none.
Therefore, even though Ye Cangtian's strength far surpassed his opponents, he found it difficult to gain the upper hand for a moment.
Their defensive cover and attacks were simply too timely and sharp.
Seeing this, Eugene, who was watching from the sidelines, also showed a disdainful smile, thinking that Dawn was nothing special.
He even thought that he wouldn't need to appear himself; his subordinates alone would be enough to take down Dawn.
However, the smile on his face did not last long.
On the field, Ye Cangtian, with his "one force breaks ten thousand techniques" approach, forcefully killed one of them.
From then on, Ye Cangtian seized the initiative on the field. As time went by, one cardinal after another was killed on the spot, with the intervals between them becoming shorter and shorter.
Bang!
When the last cardinal fell in a pool of blood, Eugene's entire body began to tremble.
Although he could also break through the encirclement of ten people, it took him much longer than Dawn, and he couldn't achieve "one force breaks ten thousand techniques."
The reason was simple: if he adopted such an aggressive attack, the other cardinals would definitely seize the opportunity to heavily injure him.
At that time, he would have no chance to turn the tide.
But Dawn had accomplished all of this and killed everyone in such a short period, which undoubtedly demonstrated Dawn's formidable strength.
"Hey! Is it comfortable sitting on that bamboo chair?"
"Shouldn't it be time to get down and stretch your legs?"
Dawn's voice reached him, and Eugene snapped back to reality, his face instantly darkening as if it were about to bleed.
Now that the opponent had killed his ten cardinals, the pawns around him would only serve as cannon fodder. The only one in the entire arena who could contend with Dawn was him.
But the hope of him winning was not great.
This made him feel a hint of retreat. Instead of dying here, it would be better to go back and regroup.
With that thought, he jumped down from the bamboo chair and said, "Brothers, today it's either he dies, or we perish! Are you willing to face this challenge with me?"
"Willing!"
The surrounding squad members were not fools. If they didn't join forces with Eugene against such a strong opponent, they would have a hard time leaving alive, so they roared in agreement.
"Good! All listen to my command, target Dawn!"
"Kill!"
With an order, the black cardinals and divine envoys instantly charged towards Dawn.
And just at that moment, Eugene quietly dashed in the opposite direction.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian smiled as he watched Eugene's fleeing back and shouted loudly, "Eugene, do you really think I came alone? You are too naive!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian's figure flickered, and the dagger in his hand turned into a cold light, constantly being swung.
Since these pawns were desperately resisting, he naturally wouldn't show any mercy.
As his voice fell, Eugene, who was fleeing, instantly stopped.
In front of him, three figures appeared: two women and one man, two wearing golden masks, and one wearing a silver mask.
That's right, the three were Hong Mo, Lan Yue, and Fei Yan.
They had arrived later and had not joined up with Dawn. After all, there were quite a few members of the Light Squad, and they needed to prevent the opponent from escaping.
So they had laid an ambush around the area.
Now, seeing Eugene fleeing, they naturally wouldn't give him this chance.
"Hong Mo, you defeated subordinate, dare to block my path? Get out of my way!"
Facing the three, Eugene roared, but he wasn't looking at Hong Mo; he was aiming for Lan Yue.
Among the three, Hong Mo and Lan Yue were on the sides, and Fei Yan, the weakest, was in the middle. If he attacked Fei Yan, he would have to endure attacks from both of them.
Therefore, Eugene ultimately chose Lan Yue.
After all, she was only an Earthly level deacon, and her strength should also be only at the Earthly level.
Boom!
On the other side, Lan Yue met his palm without hesitation. As a result, Lan Yue stood firm on the spot, while Eugene was forced back more than ten steps before he stopped.
"No! Impossible!"
"I investigated, and in the Dark Association, only Dawn and Hong Mo reached the quasi-Heavenly level. How could you have also reached it?"
Eugene exclaimed in astonishment. He had expected to easily send Lan Yue flying with a single palm, but to his surprise, he was the one who was sent flying.
It was known that Lan Yue usually kept a low profile, and information about her strength in various factions was generally at the bottom among Earthly level experts.
But now, with that palm strike, Eugene realized that Lan Yue's cultivation was even higher than Hong Mo's. How could he tolerate this!
Most importantly, the members of the Light Squad couldn't hold off Dawn for much longer. Every moment they delayed, the scythe of the Grim Reaper drew closer to him.
Hmph!
Hearing Eugene's angry roar, Lan Yue snorted and said, "There's still a lot you don't know!"
With that, Lan Yue no longer paid attention to Eugene. Her gaze turned to Hong Mo, and she said, "It's time to redeem your past disgrace. I don't need to help, do I?"
Lan Yue knew that Ye Cangtian wouldn't compete for credit with Hong Mo, so she proactively gave him the opportunity to fight Eugene.
"No need!"
Hong Mo nodded at Lan Yue and then walked towards Eugene with a stoic expression.
Now that his strength had increased significantly, it was time for him to get his revenge!
Lan Yue, hearing Hong Mo's words, said nothing more and retreated to the side with Fei Yan.
"Haha, you defeated subordinate, you dare to face me alone? You're seeking death!"
"Fine, I'll fulfill your wish!"
Seeing Hong Mo approach, Eugene couldn't help but laugh disdainfully, and at the same time, he secretly chuckled.
Although Hong Mo appeared to have recovered from his injuries, he was still his defeated opponent. He could defeat him once, and he could defeat him again!
If he could defeat Hong Mo and take him hostage, he might be able to leave safely today.
With this thought, Eugene drew his silver cross sword.
The next moment, he charged forward. Time was running out, and he wanted to finish the battle before Dawn arrived.
Clang, clang, clang...
As their weapons collided, Eugene's expression turned grim again.
And the opponent's aura was no longer at the first heavenly level, but had leaped to the third heavenly level, matching his cultivation, and even slightly surpassing it.
The surge in strength, coupled with Hong Mo's ferocious fighting style, was truly overwhelming, and he gradually began to fall into a disadvantage.
"Hong Mo, what kind of divine elixir did you take!"
Eugene, in his fury, roared at Hong Mo repeatedly. He desperately wanted to know where the Dark Association had obtained such a miraculous pill.
At the same time, he wanted to distract Hong Mo, which would greatly increase his chances of winning.
Hmph!
Hong Mo snorted disdainfully and said, "I merely took a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. You people have plenty of these, don't you?"
Even as he spoke, Hong Mo showed no mercy, unleashing continuous fierce attacks on the opponent.
What?
Nine Revolutions Golden Pill? How is that possible?
Although the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill had a decent effect on improving cultivation, its efficacy was still limited, wasn't it? How could it have increased so much? Moreover, he was still injured!
With this thought, Eugene roared, "Hong Mo, you are so shameless, using such a lie to deceive me and distract me!"
"Hmph! Believe it or not!"
Hong Mo snorted and said no more. He had no time to explain to the opponent; all he wanted was the opponent's head.
"Heh, this is truly interesting!"
"To be so weak yourself, yet still try to distract with words, and now blaming Hong Mo. The people of the Light Hall are truly shameless!"
Fei Yan, who was watching from the side, sneered contemptuously upon hearing the conversation between the two during the fight.
"Just get used to it!"
"The Light Hall has always been shameless, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. You'll know more as you interact with them in the future."
Just as Lan Yue was about to speak, a voice came.
Turning his head, Ye Cangtian had already finished off all the pawns and was slowly approaching.
Furthermore, quite a few members of the Chu family appeared behind him.
Needless to say, they had also discovered the commotion outside and had come out specifically to watch and cheer them on.
"Dawn, you bastard, how dare you slander the Light Hall!"
"You wait for me, once I'm done with Hong Mo, I'll tear you to pieces..."
On the other side, hearing Dawn's words, Eugene instantly roared repeatedly. He couldn't tolerate anyone insulting the Light Hall.
However, before he could finish speaking, a muffled thud echoed from his chest. Hong Mo's iron fist had already slammed heavily into his chest, instantly turning him into a kite with a broken string.
Bang!
He fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Hong Mo didn't care whether the opponent was distracted or not; he only wanted his life!
