BXBX NOVEL Chapter 181 - New Change (I)
Chapter 181: New Change (I)
The masked man had defeated the Wild Lion first, and then fought the Raging Bear and the Demonic Elephant without being forced to take a single step back. He was also about to face a pincer attack from the remaining three members of the Thunder God Mercenary Group.
Whether they were really going to fight one against six was only a topic of conversation before the two sides started to fight. Other than a few people who knew about the background of the masked man, no one had seriously considered this possibility.
However, everyone’s relaxed expressions started to turn serious after Wild Lion was easily defeated. All their gazes were attracted by the battle in front of them.
Could the masked man really fight six people alone?
With the Thunder God Mercenary Group joining forces with the Beast Sect, would they be able to win? Or would it be a draw? Or would they lose?
If it was a draw or a defeat, with such a fierce person forcefully intervening, the distribution of the valley’s resources would change again. The share that was distributed to the masked man would definitely be redistributed from the share given to all the factions present.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was attracted by the battle, a small group of people rushed into the rainforest without hesitation and left the valley.
This small group was led by the Myriad Phenomena Sect and the Jiyang Sect.
The Myriad Phenomena Sect was one of the top factions present, and Zhou Xuesheng was the one who had suggested peacefully distributing the resources in the valley.
Most of the people were still waiting for the situation to change. No one had expected such a thing to happen.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
In an instant, Chen Yiming’s left fist met the Raging Bear’s palm, and his sword met the Demonic Elephant’s stomp.
Immediately, a loud explosion rang out on the battlefield. Countless streams of energy flew in all directions, raising clouds of dust.
“Ah!”
The screams of the Raging Bear and the Demonic Elephant rang out.
When the people at the edge of the valley who were paying attention to the outcome of the battle heard these two screams, their hearts skipped a beat.
This was the worst outcome. Although there were still three people from the Thunder God Mercenary Group left among the six of them who would immediately join in the encirclement from behind the masked man, the three humanoid mutant beasts from the Beast Sect had all been defeated. No one thought highly of the Thunder God Mercenary Group which was weaker than them.
After all, these were six people who had teamed up at the last minute. Under the circumstances that their cultivation techniques could not work together, they were limited by the space in the arena, so it was difficult for them to attack the masked man at the same time.
Immediately after, the six-meter-tall Raging Bear was sent flying out of the dust clouds. One of its front limbs had already disappeared, and a huge bloody hole had appeared on the side of its chest.
From the bloody hole, one could see the inside of the Raging Bear’s body. The heart, the source of life, could no longer be found. The hole in its chest was full of internal organs that had been blown to pieces.
No matter what stage one reached in the warrior realm, one’s body would still be made of flesh and blood. Unless one had a special recovery ability, once one’s protective internal force was shattered, one’s body would usually be unable to resist the internal force attacks.
Raging Bear Zhang Dingkai was killed by the masked man with one blow.
At the same time,
a large hole formed in the back of the seven-meter-tall Demonic Elephant, and a violent internal force spewed out along with a large amount of flesh and internal organs.
This was caused by the huge sword formed by the strength-based internal force that broke through the Demonic Elephant’s internal force armor and pierced through its abdomen.
The hunter would one day become the hunted. The Demonic Elephant had relied on its size to crush countless enemies into meat paste in the past. On this day, he had encountered Chen Yiming, who had upgraded his talent using the system.
In a clash of strength, the weaker side would undoubtedly be defeated.
The Demonic Elephant Xu Changxiong was killed by the masked man with one strike.
“Run!”
The Wild Lion Yu Changliang watched helplessly as the Raging Bear and the Demonic Elephant died tragically. The thought of joining forces with the Raging Bear and the Demonic Elephant to attack the masked man instantly disappeared.
Could it be that the masked man was at the third stage of the warrior realm?
Wild Lion instantly rejected this guess. This was because Mist Island was being watched by various factions. It was impossible for him to openly break the rules and make a move.
Various thoughts flashed across his mind, but all he could think about was how to escape.
“Slash!”
Seeing that Wild Lion was about to turn around and escape, Chen Yiming swung his sword down.
Wild Lion had suffered an injury to one of his front limbs to begin with. When he felt the pressure from behind his head, he shouted in his heart,
“You’ll die if you can’t dodge it!”
Wild Lion unleashed all the potential in his body, and his speed increased by 10%. It seemed as though he had already run out of the attack range of the huge sword.
However, an unforeseen event that shocked everyone suddenly occurred. The huge sword increased in length from 20 meters to 50 meters in an instant, and a black shadow once again shrouded the path that Wild Lion had taken to escape.
“Boom!”
The 50-meter-long sword smashed down, crushing the Wild Lion into the ground.
With the previous examples of the Raging Bear and the Demonic Elephant, no one had expected that Wild Lion would be able to survive.
This was also the truth. The attributes of the Wild Lion’s body were more balanced, which also meant that his strength was inferior to that of the Raging Bear and the Demonic Elephant. Before he could even let out a scream, he was smashed into a pulp.
The Wild Lion Yu Changliang was killed by the masked man with a slash.
The three members of the Thunder God Mercenary Group had already stopped in their tracks and were preparing to attack the masked man when the Raging Bear and the Demonic Elephant screamed. At this moment, they had already turned around and were fleeing towards the sea.
However, how could Chen Yiming be so soft-hearted and let them live? The 50-meter-long sword instantly lengthened again until it was about 100 meters long.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
He swung his sword three times in a row.
In the middle of their escape, three members of the Thunder God Mercenary Group exploded like human bombs, turning into a bloody mist that filled the sky and dissipated into the rainforest.
The Thunder God Mercenary Group had been completely annihilated.
Chen Yiming’s talent was a top-notch talent that he had carefully selected from the system. Although his talent level was still very low, it was not something that the humans on the blue planet could compare to.
According to the talent system’s standards, the talents of the three bloodline warriors from the Beast Sect would not even be able to make it into the system’s list of talents.
In terms of numbers, the three bloodline warriors of the Beast Sect could reach about 1.2 times their normal strength with their bloodline abilities. On the other hand, Chen Yiming was able to increase his combat strength by 10 to 20 times.
The difference in talent caused a battle among those of the same level to end in a crushing defeat for one side.
“He’s too strong.”
The remaining people at the edge of the valley fell into a dead silence, and a layer of fog clouded over their hearts.
The joined forces of the Beast Sect and the Thunder God Mercenary Group did not reach a tie, nor had they lost. Instead, they had been annihilated. This outcome was too terrifying, and it exceeded everyone’s expectations.
From the beginning to the end, the masked man did not even frown. His expression remained the same, and his every move carried a casual air.
On the other hand, the six people from the Beast Sect and the Thunder God Mercenary Group had died on the spot one after another without causing any damage to their opponent.
They were all at the same level, so why was there such a huge difference in their combat strength?
Did they have to join forces to fight the masked man?
For a moment, the various factions present did not know what to do. They all looked towards where Zhou Xuesheng had been.
In the next moment,
“Where is he?”
A huge question mark appeared in everyone’s hearts. They were all stunned and stood rooted to the spot.
Everyone’s expressions froze as they realized a serious problem.
Those who had already escaped along with Zhou Xuesheng must have known some insider information in advance.
Otherwise, there was no reason for them to give up the entire valley without even thinking about resisting or discussing it with the masked man.
This valley was the most valuable area other than the willow tree king in the middle of the island.
“Where is he?”
Chen Yiming swept his gaze across the area and asked the same question in his heart.
He had originally planned to first intimidate all the factions present, then discuss the distribution of the resources in the valley with his master, Zhou Xuesheng. However, now that his master had disappeared, there was no need for any further discussion.
He retracted his huge sword to a length of three meters and dug out the corpse of the Wild Lion from the ground. He then started to loot the body in front of everyone.
Next, he did the same with the other five corpses.
“The valley is mine. Do you have any objections?”
Chen Yiming arrived at the edge of the valley. On his back was a bag of willow tree cores that he had found on the corpses.
The collar of his cloak was raised high, covering a portion of his face, allowing the person in front of him to see only his terrifying gaze.
At this moment, the masked man’s question was like a demon speaking. It was as though anyone who objected would be eaten up by him in the next moment.
