Chapter 39 The Fifth Prince

Both Captain Wu and Ming were startled by the sudden appearance of the strange entity, but upon closer inspection, they immediately sensed its extraordinary nature.

Unlike the insectoid ghouls, this one was humanoid, its entire body encased in black bone armor. Even just standing there, it exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

"I-Instantly..."

Tower Lord Kuang's eyes widened, and he collapsed to the ground in fear.

He couldn't understand where these monsters were coming from.

The guy who had instantly killed Dark Tower Lord with a single sword was one thing, at least he was on Seventh Prince's side.

But what was this ghoul? It had also instantly killed Cloud-level expert Tower Lord Lei!

This hopeless disparity in power was an enemy he simply couldn't face!

Even Taurus, who was usually extremely calm, felt his muscles tense and cold sweat mingle with the night rain as he looked at this ghoul.

The top-notch open-air seating of the Juan Niao Tower had become a dangerous battlefield, where one wrong move could lead to instant death!

Fang Yue stared intently at the ghoul in black bone armor, his hand slowly reaching for the Tian Jian.

Buzz!!

Unexpectedly, the Tian Jian trembled, as if in fear of the being before them!

[!!!]

[Wait! Fang Yue, don't attack! That's... a Yu-level ghoul! And even among Yu-level, it's definitely not someone to be trifled with!]

Yu-level ghoul?!

Fang Yue's expression darkened, confirming his suspicions.

From the aura alone, Fang Yue had already sensed that this ghoul was extraordinary.

"Parchment, prepare to lend me your power..."

Just as Fang Yue was mentally communicating with the parchment, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"Prepare to retreat!"

Turning his head, he saw that it was Taurus who had spoken.

"Let the people of Juan Niao Tower hold it back, we don't have time to waste on ghouls. Next, we need to recruit the people from the Red Division and Lan Shan, gather more forces, and then attack the Phoenix Organization!"

Fang Yue hesitated upon hearing this.

Boom!!

Just then, thunder roared again.

The night rain intensified amidst the thunder, and along with the thunder came the... towering spirit tree!

An Dong'er... You Sisi...

Fang Yue gritted his teeth and was about to call out to Captain Wu to retreat together when he saw something rapidly shooting toward them from the distance.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!!

A dozen thuds shook the ground as dozens of Hei Chong (black insect) ghouls landed on the roof of Juan Niao Tower.

Most of those present were terrified at the sight of these towering insectoid ghouls.

Because they knew what kind of power these Hei Chong ghouls possessed!

Li-level!

Equivalent to human Cloud-level martial artists, and even far surpassing ordinary Cloud-level martial artists!

"Run, run! Everyone, run! Those are Li-level ghouls from the Uyu (black rain) tribe, the Hei Chong ghouls! They are Li-level ghouls!"

"Li-level ghouls! Unless the four Tower Lords work together, they can barely deal with one. There are so many of them, we are no match for them!"

The people of Juan Niao Tower paled in fear and fled.

The Hei Chong ghouls that landed, however, remained motionless, kneeling before the ghoul in black bone armor, as if waiting for something.

"Fifth Prince, please do not stray from our protection..."

One of the larger Hei Chong ghouls rumbled in its throat, making a sound.

The ghoul encased in black bone armor slowly opened its eyes, a faint black light emanating from them, and glanced lightly at the Hei Chong ghoul.

The Hei Chong ghoul shuddered in fear and quickly lowered its head, but it was too late.

The moment their eyes met.

Bang!!

The Fifth Prince appeared before it as if teleporting, and with a deafening explosion, the Hei Chong ghoul's insectoid body suddenly burst apart without warning, scattering insect fluids and turning into a pile of corpses.

Instantly… he killed a Li-level ghoul!

Everyone was horrified.

Fang Yue and the others felt their hearts sink.

At this moment, the Fifth Prince retracted the black light in his eyes, extended his right hand, and pointed at Fang Yue.

"Leave none alive, except for him."

"Yes!!"

The other Hei Chong ghouls responded loudly.

In the next instant, all the Hei Chong ghouls charged into the crowd like a whirlwind. In the blink of an eye, the people of Juan Niao Tower were thrown into chaos, and corpses flew everywhere.

"Retreat!!"

Taurus roared, already retreating back into Juan Niao Tower.

Captain Wu's eyes flashed with golden light, about to fight desperately, but Fang Yue grabbed his hand and jumped off the roof of Juan Niao Tower.

Ming, sitting on the Fifth Imperial Ghoul, had the ghoul grab the wall with its eight hands, descending quickly. At the same time, a figure from the adjacent high-rise jumped toward her, none other than the inseparable Nian Tianjiao!

For a moment, everyone scattered and fled using their own abilities.

In mid-air, Fang Yue did not forget to look back and immediately saw the Fifth Prince, who had somehow reached the edge of the roof, looking down and meeting his gaze.

Seeing the black light slowly lighting up in the other's eyes, Fang Yue's heart skipped a beat.

In the next instant.

The Fifth Prince's figure abruptly appeared before him, as if teleporting.

Before he could react, the Fifth Prince's extremely fast fist had already struck him in the chest!

A sharp pain shot through his chest, and he subconsciously released his grip. The surrounding scenery blurred as Fang Yue plummeted!

Thud!!

With a loud crash, a huge crater appeared, centered on Fang Yue's landing point, and dust billowed.

"So it's a fist..."

Unlike the previous two attacks, which were so fast that no one could even see the Fifth Prince's attack method.

This time, Fang Yue had truly felt the Fifth Prince's touch.

"And the black light in his eyes, a teleport-like way of moving..."

Fang Yue quickly got up while consuming pills.

Looking up…

"Uyu Tribe!!!"

Captain Wu's deafening roar rang out.

Mixed in with the roar was the sound of a phoenix cry!

A faint golden phoenix shadow appeared in mid-air, along with a rapidly falling black figure.

Thud!!

The already large crater sank even deeper.

And the one who landed in the crater was... Captain Wu!

Captain Wu's chest was caved in, revealing the broken golden bones inside!

That's right, Captain Wu's bones were actually golden!

Fang Yue was stunned for a moment, then saw Captain Wu grunt in pain twice before getting up from the ground. The golden bones in his chest quickly retracted into his chest cavity, and the broken bones reconnected as the caved-in chest bulged out.

Rubbing his chest, Captain Wu turned his head and saw Fang Yue next to him.

Captain Wu felt a little embarrassed.

Because he was the one who had shouted the loudest, but in the end, he was the one who had been smashed down.

"Where's that guy?" Fang Yue asked.

Captain Wu pointed in the direction of Juan Niao Tower.

The waist of Juan Niao Tower had been shattered, revealing its internal structure. Amidst the dust, a figure walked out from there, his feet treading on air, standing in mid-air, walking toward the two.

It was none other than... the Uyu Tribe's royal family member, the Fifth Prince!
