"Mr. Fan." While walking down the street and observing the actual damage in Feather City, Mr. Fan suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. Turning around, he was surprised to see Wang Long and Cai Burin.
"Hehe, Elder Cai, how did the battle with Third Elder go this time?"
After discussing serious matters in the conference hall of Feather City, Cai Burin's excitement resurfaced upon learning that Lin Jueying was a senior expert from the Evil Extermination Sect, and he immediately issued a challenge.
Of course, given the current atmosphere in Feather City, it was not suitable for an open duel. So although Lin Jueying had agreed, the match took place in the back arena of their lord's mansion, completely hidden from outsiders.
"Tch! Not satisfying at all!" Upon mentioning this, Cai Burin frowned despite his earlier excitement. "That Lin Jueying was clearly injured during the last battle against the Demon Army! What’s the point of fighting like this? I wouldn't even be able to withstand three of his strikes!"
"Uh." Mr. Fan felt a headache coming on. Wasn't Cai Burin supposed to be an outlier from Holy Divine Gate, even half-exiled from it? How could he be so strong? Mr. Fan knew Lin Jueying; although he wasn't a significant figure in Evil Extermination Sect, his strength was undeniable. "Ahem, it seems challenging Elder Cai is not very appropriate at this moment. I hope you both have another opportunity to spar in the future. Since your duel has concluded, why not return to your residence to rest and prepare for tomorrow's mission instead of wandering around the streets?"
Wang Long smiled calmly. "Then can we ask Mr. Fan the same question? You've been working hard along the way; if we talk about effort, yours must be greater than ours. So why not return to your residence to rest and rejuvenate?"
Mr. Fan chuckled bitterly. "I have my reasons for being here; such a counter-question holds no significance, and my situation is different from yours. Listen to me: this time when you leave the city, it will definitely not be as smooth as arriving in Feather City. You should quickly return and conserve your energy."
Wang Long shook his head. "My view is exactly the opposite of Mr. Fan's."
Mr. Fan sneered. "Believe it or not, I've said what I needed to say. If you think those hidden enemies and those Toxic Corpses are easy to deal with, then you certainly won't come back alive!"
"It seems Mr. Fan knows some things we don't. But you've misunderstood me; I've never underestimated those hidden enemies. What I mean is that some among us might not even see tomorrow's sun, so isn't it rather ridiculous to be planning an exit now?"
Mr. Fan shuddered. "What did you say!"
Wang Long smiled cheerfully. "It seems we finally have a foundation for heartfelt conversation between us."
Night fell.
In Feather City, which had just experienced great destruction and was under immense tension, the night only heightened the sense of unease.
Fortunately, even ordinary soldiers in the city had been tempered by war; despite the oppressive atmosphere, they maintained enough calmness and vigilance.
A silence enveloped the area.
After suffering a significant blow, even the old Heavenly Capital could no longer bear to let Feather City endure more harm. Aside from the incident where a group disguised as merchants from Fire Mountain City launched a surprise attack, they had not encountered any major emergencies. Even if one or two powerful beasts intruded, their strength and the city's defensive formations were sufficient to eliminate those beasts on the spot.
However, just when everyone was oblivious to any abnormalities, fiery stones and fierce wind blades seemed to descend from the sky, bringing chaos and bloodshed to the northwest corner of Feather City!
"Enemy attack!"
Although caught off guard, the warriors of Feather City, who were on high alert, quickly realized what was happening. They immediately activated formations to alert the experts in key areas within the city. Meanwhile, a significant portion of the forces stationed at the west city wall and North City wall surged forward to confront the attackers, striving to eliminate them and restore order as swiftly as possible.
Experts hidden in various locations suddenly emerged, surrounding the area from all directions.
After such a long period of patience and waiting, it was now time to teach these audacious villains who underestimated Feather City's defenses an unforgettable lesson!
"Roar!" Recognizing that the enemy aimed to cause maximum destruction and intimidation with their fiery assault, several experts rushed forward while summoning Water Dragons, charging directly towards the fiercest flames.
"Suppress them! Remember to leave some alive!" Shadows flickered as Lin Jueying, the highest commander of Feather City, appeared under the night sky, coldly observing the enemies before her.
"Yes!"
The repaired formations of Feather City activated instantly. Although those ambushing experts were formidable, their speed and connection with Primordial Energy were greatly hindered by the formation's influence. The might of the Water Dragons soon overpowered those fire dragons.
Lin Jueying and other top experts from Feather City unleashed their magical treasures and charged forward.
It would not be enough to rely solely on these Water Dragons to eliminate the hidden enemy experts.
Screams echoed as these ambushing foes displayed skill; however, facing nearly the entire counterattack from Feather City proved overwhelming. Especially under Lin Jueying's direct command, each coordinated assault managed to take down three to five enemies at a time. The battlefield quickly compressed as the fury of Water Dragons enhanced by the city's defensive formations surged forth. With a flick of her right hand, Lin Jueying unleashed Absolute Cold Power that struck one of the Water Dragons, freezing those caught in its grasp!
"Oh!!!"
Seeing victory on this battlefield, nearby warriors couldn't help but cheer in unison!
Not only had they thwarted this surprise attack, but more importantly, they had decisively defeated the enemy with almost no casualties despite significant depletion of Vital Energy. This clearly demonstrated that their strength was far from as weak as their adversaries had imagined.
"Silence!" At that moment, Lin Jueying seemed to sense something unusual and suddenly raised his hand.
Upon seeing his gesture, the cheers immediately ceased, plunging Feather City back into silence.
At this time, Wang Long, Cai Burin, Mr. Fan, and others who had come to assist noticed that something was off in the atmosphere; there seemed to be a scent lingering in the air!
The scent of death!
"What a strong killing intent, such a heavy smell of blood! Northeast direction!"
Lin Jueying's eyes flashed with fierce determination as he led his group of skilled fighters straight toward the northeast corner of Feather City.
Wang Long and the others were equally swift in their actions; several elder-level experts almost simultaneously arrived at the scene.
A river of blood!
The northeast corner of Feather City was where Lin Jueying and his team had agreed to place those with the weakest abilities who had come with the merchant convoy. Moreover, due to the previous battles in the northwest drawing everyone's attention, the forces here were extremely weak.
Countless corpses lay scattered around.
On the ground, on door panels, atop walls, beside beds and under windows.
The blood of all the victims gradually pooled together, seemingly dyeing the entire area a terrifying shade of red!
And then!
It began to turn green!
"This is bad! These corpses have already turned into Toxic Corpses!"
The guards of Feather City had not yet reacted when Wang Long and others, having experienced this once before, immediately sensed the impending crisis!
"What are Toxic Corpses? What do you mean by that? They are our family! We must avenge them!"
A few warriors from Feather City couldn't hold back and wanted to rush down to see if there were any clues about the murderer, not waiting for Lin Jueying's orders.
Even if a fierce battle was happening over there, it would still affect their senses here. Even though those enemies were particularly skilled at stealth and concealment, the fighting over there hadn't lasted long; the murderers couldn't have gone far!
Whoosh!
A figure flew down, sword drawn, blocking all of them.
"What do you want to do?" A few of them were both shocked and angry, glaring at Wang Long who stood in their way.
"Do you want to go down there and get yourselves killed?"
The group followed Wang Long's pointing finger and looked.
Countless "corpses" were now swaying as they stood up, simultaneously raising their heads to examine the warriors from Feather City who were watching them. Suddenly, they all revealed a sinister smile.
An extremely eerie and bizarre smile!
