Chapter 2340

Zi Chen's sigh was very clear, so clear that everyone present could hear it.

At this moment, facing four Level 9 Hunters and many Level 8 Hunters, shouldn't despair be the only thing one should be feeling right now?

This was Long Shan's final trump card, and it was enough to change the outcome of the battle.

Dun Li, Yuan Hong, Menta, and Ya Ge had already accepted their fates. There was no solution to this situation at all.

Lindsey was already speechless. He had always been very confident in his abilities, and felt that with his abilities, the entire team would not be threatened.

He could sense all dangers ahead of time with the help of his beasts.

However, the scene before his eyes made him feel completely hopeless.

The young girl's expression was still excited, even eager to try, as if she hadn't sensed that danger was about to befall her.

Steward Mack's previously calm expression was no longer calm after seeing these people.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze leaving the battlefield and looking towards a certain place in the night, as if he had discovered something.

At this moment, his expression became solemn, as if he had sensed some sort of danger.

However, this scene was ruined by a low sigh. If it had been a sigh of despair, it would have been appropriate, but after that, Zi Chen's regretful tone was heard.

This wasn't the tone of someone who cherished their life, but rather the heartache of someone who had lost some sort of property.

This sigh was a bit of a spoilsport.

"Stop pretending to be a ghost. Die!"

The rank 9 hunter had already rushed to Zi Chen's side, and slashed at Zi Chen with his sword. This slash was full of power as it tore through the air.

"Swoosh!"

Zi Chen's figure disappeared from where he was first.

This slash destroyed an afterimage, but it wasn't in vain. A gourd appeared in the afterimage, and as the slash landed, it was instantly cut open.

"Crack!"

With a loud sound, the gourd shattered, and a thick cloud of five-colored smoke rose from within, spreading in all directions in an instant.

This Rank 9 Hunter was the first to be enveloped by the thick five-colored smoke. His expression changed drastically as he exclaimed, "Not good! It's the five-colored poison mist!"

The five-colored poison mist spread out at an unimaginable speed. In an instant, it had spread more than ten meters away, enveloping the Level 9 Hunters and a few Level 8 Hunters behind them.

"Ah!"

The next moment, a heart-wrenching scream of pain rang out. The Level 8 Hunter's skin began to fester at a speed visible to the naked eye. His body began to emit smoke and disappear.

"It's the Five-Colored Poison Fog! Run!"

Roars continued to ring out. Those were the voices of Level Four Hunters.

They did not immediately die under the five-colored poison mist. This did not mean that they were strong enough to withstand the poison mist, but that they had swallowed the antidote in an instant.

After all, they had been training outside all year round and would encounter all kinds of traps, so they would always carry a few special antidote pills to protect themselves.

The Five-Colored Poison Mist was a deadly threat to Level 9 Hunters. Naturally, they would carry antidotes with them.

However, as the color of the poison mist increased, the power of the poison mist would become stronger. The antidote pills could only temporarily protect them from the poison mist, but they could not keep them in the mist for long.

Therefore, even though the four Level 9 Hunters had taken the antidote pills, they still ran out of the mist at this moment. This was because once the effects of the antidote pills wore off, they would die.

Even though they had taken the pills, they still felt a little dizzy and their bodies were not under their control. Their sense of danger had also decreased by a lot.

The four of them were running away, while Zi Chen was in the middle of the poison mist. Sensing their direction, his eyes became cold.

As for the Level 8 Hunters, he completely ignored them. Once the poison mist was released, they would die, unless they were lucky enough to not come into contact with the poison mist.

With a flap of the thunder wings on his back, Zi Chen rushed towards a Level 9 Hunter. As the poison mist surged, the broken sword in his hand drew a black arc and slashed towards the head of the Level 9 Hunter in front of him.

"Clang!"

A sonorous sound rang out. The Level 9 Hunter sensed the danger and turned around to block the attack.

He looked at Zi Chen with a sinister smile on his face. At the same time, he borrowed the force of Zi Chen's attack to speed up his retreat. Soon, he would be out of the poison mist.

Not only was the poison mist highly toxic, it was also ridiculously expensive. He did not believe that the Level 8 Hunter in front of him would have two of such items.

However, when he saw Zi Chen's sinister smile, he did not notice that Zi Chen was also smiling at him.

A black light flashed through the poison mist at high speed. The moment the Level 9 Hunter's body flew backwards, it went straight for the Level 9 Hunter's temple.

This attack was made when the Level 9 Hunter borrowed the force of the attack to retreat. Even if he sensed the danger, he would not be able to effectively defend himself against the flying knife in a short period of time.

"Pfft!"

The flying knife came close to the Level 9 Hunter. Without any external defense, the Level 9 Hunter could not block the flying knife with just his physical body.

With a splash of blood, the flying knife completely pierced through the Level 9 Hunter's temple.

At this moment, the Level 9 Hunter's frozen expression of shock could no longer see Zi Chen's figure in front of him. He did not know when Zi Chen had disappeared from his sight.

Then, he heard the same sonorous sound. It was the sound of two weapons blocking each other. Before he could guess if the Level 9 Hunter had encountered the same situation as him, he heard another 'pfft' sound.

Then, his vision turned black. His vitality was extinguished, and his soul dissipated.

The antidote pill's effect completely disappeared at this moment. The poison mist fell on the Level 9 Hunter's body. His skin began to smoke and then disappeared.

As the poison mist spread, screams of agony could still be heard. Some of the Level 8 Hunters dodged, while others were touched by the poison mist. They retreated in fear, but their bodies dissipated as they retreated.

Even the slightest contact with this five-colored poison mist would lead to death.

Therefore, in the midst of the screams, everyone heard the three sonorous sounds of weapons colliding. However, they did not hear the three 'pfft' sounds that followed.

Out of the four Level 9 Hunters, only one managed to escape.

After escaping from the poison mist, his face was filled with fear. A mere Level 8 Hunter dared to use such a method to take them down with him.

That was right!

From his point of view, the Level 9 Hunter must have died in there.

This was because even with the special antidote, the Level 8 Hunter would not be able to stay in the poison mist for long.

However, just as he was about to heave a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger. Without saying anything, he blocked with his weapon.

Clang!

A black broken knife was blocked by his weapon. The person holding the broken knife was the Level 8 Hunter that he thought was dead.

"How is this possible?!" Looking at the cold Zi Chen, the Level 9 Hunter's face was filled with shock.

Swoosh!

The knife flashed and turned into a cross-shaped knife arc. This was the second move of the Nine Knives Technique.

The Level 9 Hunter blocked with his sword and retreated, avoiding the cross-shaped knife arc. However, the corner of his shirt was cut by the knife arc.

This knife was faster than he had expected.

"You're courting death!"

Looking at the torn corner of his shirt, the Level 9 Hunter was enraged. Murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he charged towards Zi Chen.

At this moment, the five-colored poison mist had yet to disperse. No one knew what had happened in the poison mist.

However, seeing Zi Chen rush out of the poison mist and not die, they were all shocked.

At the same time, they were also wondering why the three Level 9 Hunters had not come out yet.

However, they did not have time to guess the result. Zi Chen and the Level 9 Hunter had already started a direct confrontation. Using the extreme speed brought by the Heavenly Thunder Wings and the Nine Knives Technique, Zi Chen displayed an extremely strong offensive. Sharp knife arcs kept appearing.

However, the Level 9 Hunter kept retreating in the face of Zi Chen's attacks.

Looking at the battle, it was obvious that the Level 8 Zi Chen was blocking the Level 9 Hunter and had the upper hand for the time being.

"This is Zi Chen's strongest combat ability?"

During the short pause in the battle, Dun Li looked at Zi Chen, who was attacking furiously, with a shocked expression on his face.

It was indeed difficult to temporarily gain the upper hand in a battle with someone of a higher level than him.

Ya Ge and the others were also stunned on the spot.

As for their opponents, they stopped fighting temporarily and looked at the battle between the Level 8 and Level 9 Hunters in shock.

"Amazing!"

Lin Sai, who was almost scared out of his wits, finally came back to his senses after hearing the continuous clashes.

He had thought that they would die soon, but who would have thought that Zi Chen's five-colored poison mist would turn the tide of the battle? Moreover, Zi Chen was currently attacking a Level 9 Hunter fiercely, and it seemed that the Hunter could only parry his attacks without being able to fight back.

Steward Mack's eyes were full of admiration.

The girl at the side looked at Zi Chen with eyes full of curiosity. At the same time, there was a hint of craftiness in her eyes.

She was ready to make a move because she could see that Zi Chen was only attacking in one go. Once he was exhausted, it would be time for the Level 9 Hunter to counterattack.

A Level 8 Hunter had no chance of winning against a Level 9 Hunter!

In fact, it wasn't just the girl who thought that way. Everyone present had the same thought. In their eyes, Zi Chen would be exhausted soon, and the battle would be turned around very quickly.

It was with this thought that they ignored the five-colored poison mist that was gradually dispersing in the distance, as well as the other three Level 9 Hunters who should have walked out of the mist long ago.

Clang!

In the continuous clashes, Zi Chen was finally exhausted, and his last attack was blocked by the Level 9 Hunter's sword.

At this moment, the sword and the broken sword clashed, and Zi Chen was leaning forward with his strength. He was very close to the Level 9 Hunter.

His face and forehead were full of sweat, which kept dripping down. This was a sign of exhaustion and great exhaustion.

The Level 9 Hunter exerted strength with his sword and leaned forward as well. His face was almost touching Zi Chen's face. He said coldly, "You …"

He stopped before he could finish, his face full of fear and shock. At this moment, Zi Chen opened his mouth, and the five-colored poison mist was surging in his mouth.

Whoosh!
