Jiang Zhong had never seen Shang Jun fight before; this was his first time. The members of the Hunter Group had extreme confidence in their abilities and usually operated alone, only pairing up for special missions.
As a spiritual warrior at the peak of the Qi Hai realm, Shang Jun had never acted with anyone else.
Witnessing Shang Jun's strength for the first time, not only was Luo Ganfu, who died with his skull crushed by Shang Jun, shocked, but Jiang Zhong was also greatly surprised. He looked at his blade, noticing shallow finger imprints on both sides, left by Shang Jun when he gripped the blade with his fingers earlier.
To leave an imprint on a spirit-energy-infused weapon with just the strength of his fingers, how immense must that power be?
Jiang Zhong was momentarily dazed, then turned to look at the other battle. Lu Ze'er was standing not far from the fray, drawing his bow and firing an arrow, shattering the shoulder of a member of the Z Church.
Jiang Zhong raised the blade in his hand, flipped the edge, and shook it gently twice, making a unique gesture.
Lu Ze'er, who was surveying the entire battle, saw it immediately. He abandoned the other engagement and ran towards Jiang Zhong.
Lu Ze'er, carrying a nearly two-meter-long black bow, reached Jiang Zhong's side. He first looked Jiang Zhong up and down, confirming he was unharmed, then turned his gaze to Shang Jun.
"Captain, the Z Church members over there are almost dealt with."
Shang Jun nodded, raised his hand, pointed at the yacht on the sea, and said coldly, "Sink it."
"Yes."
Lu Ze'er did not hesitate. He took half a step back with his right foot, drawing the black bow. A black arrow rapidly materialized, and the next moment, the black arrow shot out, drawing a straight line through the air and hurtling towards the yacht.
In an instant,
The arrow flew nearly ten miles, arriving directly in front of the yacht. This was Lu Ze'er's full-power shot. As a manifestation-type ability user who had surpassed the seventh stage of the gene lock, reaching the Divine level, that bow was his weapon. His powerful mental energy allowed him to lock onto any target ten miles away.
But the moment the arrow struck the yacht,
A white talisman flew from the yacht. Its pattern was intricate and it shimmered with white light, directly meeting the black arrow.
The black arrow and the white talisman collided, but instead of the expected explosion, they silently disappeared. The white talisman acted like a spatial vortex, absorbing the black arrow, and then the white talisman itself dissipated in the air.
Seeing this, Lu Ze'er was stunned, then his face turned red as he prepared to shoot another arrow.
"Enough. The distance is too great, and the arrow's power will be diminished. Wait for them to come," Shang Jun stopped Lu Ze'er, but his own expression was also ashen.
Just as Susan had said, facing those monsters would instill fear in anyone.
Even with his spiritual power at the peak of the Qi Hai realm, he wondered if he could fight a god if he broke through to the Grandmaster realm.
But there was no time. If he had ten more years, he believed his talent would allow him to break through to Grandmaster. However, many things did not go as planned, and he had to accept this reality.
Lu Ze'er lowered his black bow. He no longer dwelled on the previous arrow. Instead, he turned his gaze towards the southwest, where there was a faint aura, but it seemed like two, with both spiritual and mental energy.
The spiritual energy had reached the Yun Ling realm, and the mental energy was at the second stage of the gene lock.
Who was there?
And with such low strength.
Everyone on this battlefield, regardless of who they were, had a spiritual cultivation above the Kai Shi realm, and their gene locks were basically above the seventh stage.
Let alone the spiritual cultivation of the Yun Ling realm, just the second stage gene lock, was this a joke?
Shang Jun and Jiang Zhong couldn't sense it because they were spiritual warriors. Lu Ze'er, after firing his full-power arrow, had his mental energy spread out for a moment, naturally sensing someone hidden in the southwest.
He was about to tell Shang Jun about someone in the southwest, but before he could say anything, the yacht on the sea had approached, and a talisman flew from the yacht. Unlike the previous talisman, this one had a simpler pattern, with only a few strokes.
Jiang Zhong reached out and pushed Lu Ze'er aside. "Old Black, stand back, don't get instantly killed." As he spoke, Jiang Zhong leaped out fiercely, swinging his blade and unleashing a green spiritual energy slash. While cleaving the talisman, the slash's power remained undiminished, heading straight for the yacht.
Lu Ze'er stumbled and glanced towards the southwest again. He was still uneasy. Even when hunting a rabbit, one should use their full strength. Although they were proud, they were not arrogant. They knew they were doing life-threatening work, and any slight variation could cost them their lives.
Lu Ze'er stopped thinking and, while repositioning, fired an arrow towards the sand dunes in the southwest.
He Li, hidden behind the sand dunes, cursed inwardly and darted out, sticking close to the ground. He landed in another spot, and immediately, the sand dune was blasted with a huge gap by the black arrow.
He Li looked at the sand dune and cursed, "This son of a bitch, his perception is truly sensitive. He could 'see' me from five miles away."
Xiao Yue pursed her lips and smiled, saying with a hint of schadenfreude, "That black guy's gene lock has surpassed the seventh stage and reached a higher level. He could lock onto the yacht from ten miles away earlier, let alone you.
Alright, don't be depressed. Your old friend is about to make an appearance."
He Li was stunned. What old friend? He looked confusedly towards the distant battlefield.
He saw that the slash had been neutralized by a talisman, and then a figure flew from the ship. With a simple hand seal, the figure released a talisman towards Shang Jun on the island below.
Shang Jun looked up at the talisman hurtling towards him, pulled open his long coat, drew the short sword hanging at his waist, and unleashed a spiritual energy slash. While shattering the talisman, the slash attacked the person in the air.
More talismans flew out, and intricate talismans appeared again.
"Divine Talisman - Profound Armor."
The figure shouted, and the talisman absorbed Shang Jun's slash once more.
He Li blinked as he looked at the figure. "Isn't that... Huh? What was his name again?"
"Mo Lin. He was originally your divine envoy, but he looked down on your branch and defected to someone else," Xiao Yue said with a chuckle.
"Oh, it's him. If he's here, it means the god he defected to has also arrived." He Li's gaze shifted towards the yacht.
At this moment,
The situation had changed again. The Z Church members had all been dealt with. It seemed that way. Some people thought they were great, but compared to others, they were not even trash, just garbage.
Luo Ganfu had led his men with great fanfare, confidently declaring they would eliminate everyone on the island.
As a result, all of them, including him, were dead.
The six members of the Hunter Group quickly arrived behind Shang Jun. Everyone had a solemn expression.
Because three more people flew from the yacht and slowly landed on the beach. Judging by their positions, two were behind, and the two in front walked side by side.
The man who could use talismans earlier stood respectfully behind a woman.
