"They're here, get hidden," Leng Shan, worthy of his hunter lineage, was the first to spot the enemy.
Everyone prepared to hide and slowly observed the approaching enemy.
The Myriad Races Church members charged into the camp.
With a "bang," flames erupted. The camp was torn apart by a massive explosion.
Zhang Mingming and Old Ghost, both radiating golden light, shot up into the sky. "Li Wenyen, come out and die!"
Li Wenyen and He Feng watched as the crystal core bomb exploded, causing dozens of casualties on the enemy side. They nodded with satisfaction.
Two Golden level martial artists from the enemy side soared into the air, issuing a challenge and naming Li Wenyen. The two exchanged a glance and then took to the sky to meet them.
"Who did I think it was? It turns out to be Zhang Mingming, you freak, and that old coffin." Li Wenyen, as a member of the Investigation Team, constantly fought against the Myriad Races Church and naturally knew the two well.
"t
The two, along with Little Gold, specifically targeted the Silver level martial artists engaging with the various sub-captains of the Investigation Team. The more than 30 Silver level martial artists of the Myriad Races Church were quickly being killed by these few and the sub-captains, leaving only seven or eight struggling to hold on.
On the other side, the Golden level battlefield where He Feng and his three companions fought was even more intense. Li Wenyen and Zhang Mingming were truly fighting with fury, disregarding their own injuries as they desperately attacked each other.
He Feng seized an opportunity. He dodged Old Ghost's attack and, at the moment Old Ghost was between breaths, he unleashed a counter-thrust, piercing Old Ghost's chest. He Feng twisted the spear, shredding Old Ghost's heart, then withdrew the spear and charged towards Zhang Mingming, who was fighting Li Wenyen.
Seeing Old Ghost killed, Zhang Mingming knew he was next. He endured a blow from Li Wenyen's iron rod and fled into the distance.
He Feng and Li Wenyen watched the fleeing Zhang Mingming. They knew that for Golden level martial artists, escaping was impossible for those of the same cultivation level who hadn't practiced movement techniques. They exchanged a helpless glance, neither of them having practiced movement techniques and knowing they couldn't catch up to Zhang Mingming.
Li Wenyen carried Old Ghost's head back to the battlefield and shouted, "Old Ghost is dead, and Zhang Mingming is injured and fled. Why don't you surrender?"
Upon seeing their leader dead and the other fleeing, the martial artists of the Myriad Races Church lost the will to fight. Nearly a hundred of them abandoned their comrades and turned to flee into the forest. The Silver level martial artists of the Myriad Races Church, who were being specially dealt with by Lin Zhan, the trio, and the sub-captains, were all eliminated.
With a loud explosion, the fleeing Myriad Races Church members stepped into Bai Qing's kill formation. Bai Qing detonated the formation, and flames erupted everywhere, combined with Anya's anesthetic gas deployed in the town. Only about thirty people, swaying, managed to escape towards the jungle.
"Don't pursue them. If we kill them all, who will report back? Without this bait, how can we catch the bigger fish?" Li Wenyen ordered the members of the Investigation Team. "Quickly tend to the wounded, bind the prisoners, clear the battlefield, and take stock of our losses."
"You go help too. Have Anya assist in treating the wounded. Lin Zhan, come find me," He Feng also instructed his classmates.
"Lin Zhan, you should have contracted your second spirit beast by now, right? Why didn't you release it to join the fight? That would have reduced some of our casualties. Are you still saving your trump card?" He Feng lectured Lin Zhan with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Teacher, you've misunderstood. I-I couldn't release it even if I wanted to. When I contracted Little Black, it was already on the verge of a breakthrough. It's currently in the process of advancing and is asleep in the spirit beast space," Lin Zhan explained to He Feng. After all, he didn't want everyone to misunderstand him over such a trivial matter.
In this era, the most important thing for humanity was to unite and overcome difficulties together.
