Chapter 2341
Chapter 2341
The Level 9 Hunter saw that Zi Chen's attack was over, so he was prepared to say a few harsh words to finish off his enemy.
In his opinion, what could a mere Level 8 Hunter do to him?
But before he could say anything, he saw Zi Chen open his mouth and exhale. There was smoke in his breath. It was the Five-Colored Poison Fog.
In such close proximity, there was no way to avoid it. The Five-Colored Poison Fog landed on the Level 9 Hunter's horrified face.
"Ah!"
The Level 9 Hunter screamed and retreated. He was about to take out an antidote from his pocket and swallow it. At that moment, he was extremely flustered.
The poison fog was corroding his body. He could die at any moment.
His hands were shaking. The more nervous he was, the slower his reaction became.
"There's no need. Save one!"
At that moment, Zi Chen's indifferent voice rang out. The broken sword in his hand reappeared and slashed across the Level 9 Hunter's neck.
Poof!
The sword disappeared in a flash. The Level 9 Hunter's head flew high into the air and disappeared in the Five-Colored Poison Fog. The headless corpse began to spurt blood.
The Level 9 Hunter was dead!
Zi Chen, who was supposed to lose, made a huge comeback in an unexpected way. He killed the Level 9 Hunter and ended the battle.
This result was once again out of everyone's expectations.
Then why did he spit out the Five-Colored Poison Fog?
Why wasn't he killed by the Poison Fog?
Did he not take the antidote when he was in the Poison Fog?
All kinds of doubts appeared in everyone's hearts. They could not understand what was going on.
At this moment, they suddenly remembered that there were still three Level 9 Hunters. Where were they?
Why didn't they join the battle?
They suddenly turned around and looked at the Five-Colored Poison Fog.
The Poison Fog had dispersed, but there were no traces of the three Level 9 Hunters. They only saw three sets of smoky clothes and the weapons that the three Level 9 Hunters used.
Where were they?
After a short moment of confusion, they were shocked beyond belief.
They were dead!
They were killed by the Five-Colored Poison Fog!
No one could believe this result. They all had antidotes on them. How could they die from the Poison Fog?
But the truth was right in front of them. It was better than any argument.
The only explanation was that Zi Chen had killed the three of them, and then the three of them had disappeared into the poisonous fog.
But how did Zi Chen manage to kill three Level 9 Hunters in such a short period of time?
They weren't sure, but the only thing they could recall in their minds was the three sonorous sounds that rang out in the poisonous fog.
Following the death of the level-four hunter, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone's gazes landed on Zi Chen as indescribable shock filled their faces.
Four Level Four Hunters were dead. They were all killed by him!
He was only a Level 8!
"Damn it, what the hell is going on?"
An angry and hoarse voice sounded from the distant hill. "Isn't he just a newly joined Level 8 Hunter? How could he kill four Level 9 Hunters in an instant?"
The person next to him was so shocked that he couldn't say a word. This scene was too illogical.
…
Today's battle was supposed to be a sure win, but because of the Level 8 Hunter's interference, it was a complete failure.
This result was hard to accept, but they had to face reality. Thus, he told the Transmission Stone to retreat.
A beam of light shot into the sky and exploded in mid-air, breaking the silence of the battlefield.
When Edgar saw the signal, he knew that the ambush had failed. He looked at Zi Chen unwillingly and shouted, "Retreat!"
Then, they began to retreat. They had no choice but to accept it.
When the Level 8 and Level 7 Hunters heard this, they all felt as if they had been pardoned.
Seeing Zi Chen's crazy killing methods, they really didn't want to stay here for another minute.
"Where do you think you're going?"
At this moment, a cold voice sounded. The young girl who had been watching the battle suddenly jumped down from the carriage and chased after the Level 7 and Level 8 Hunters.
Her speed was surprisingly fast, even faster than Zi Chen's. She quickly caught up with the hunters. The long whip in her hand danced, and the sounds of cracking could be heard. One after another, the hunters were sent flying.
"Edgar, leave something behind before you go!"
Dun Li shouted coldly and chased after her as well. Ya Ge, Menta, and Yuan Hong followed closely behind.
It was obvious that the four of them were deliberately keeping a distance from the young girl, so that they could help her at any time. After chasing for a few hundred metres, they stopped.
The results of this chase were extraordinary. They'd killed a Level 9 Hunter, and the young girl had killed several Level 8 and Level 7 Hunters as well.
Zi Chen didn't chase after them. The continuous battles had exhausted him greatly, and he really couldn't keep up with them.
However, he'd already released his perception. When he saw that the archer and the assassin had left, he sighed in relief.
His attacks had been so strong and fierce that the two hadn't been able to seize the opportunity to attack.
Lindsay didn't chase either, because he didn't have the means to do so. Of course, the biggest reason was that he'd been scared silly.
Steward Mai's gaze shifted away from Zi Chen, and his expression gradually darkened as he looked in a certain direction.
Zi Chen sat down on the ground, panting heavily. The danger had truly been averted at this moment.
The five pursuers in the distance had all retreated, and their gazes were undoubtedly on Zi Chen.
If it hadn't been for Zi Chen turning the tide and using the five-coloured poison mist to kill the four Level 9 Hunters, the outcome might have been different.
Dun Li walked up to Zi Chen and said excitedly, "Not bad, Zi Chen. I didn't expect you to have such a move!"
Ya Ge and the others also walked up, and looked at Zi Chen with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have hidden your strength so deeply. You really surprised me this time."
Zi Chen waved his hand, "That's nothing. The important thing is that you have to pay more!
I've lost big this time. I spent a lot of money to buy that five-coloured poison mist to save my life, but it's gone in less than two days. "
"Your life-saving item killed so many experts. Your life is too valuable," Dun Li said from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, a clear voice rang out, "Heh, you're called Zi Chen, right? Those wings on your body are pretty good. Sell them to me, I'll give you any price!"
Zi Chen had yet to retract his Heavenly Thunder Wings, and the glow on them was no longer as bright as before. However, they would still flash from time to time, making them look very mysterious in the dark night.
Zi Chen turned his head, and only then did he see the girl for the first time.
He was no fool and quickly guessed the girl's identity, which surprised him a little.
He hadn't expected that what they were protecting at such a high price wasn't the goods, but this girl.
Given several thousand drops of Saint Source Liquid for a single mission, it wasn't hard to see how wealthy the other party was.
Upon seeing that Zi Chen wasn't responding, the girl urged, "What are you spacing out for? Give me any price."
Zi Chen smiled at the girl and said, "Miss, this thing can't be sold."
The girl tilted her head and said, "What can't be sold? Can't you just pluck it out?"
Zi Chen shook his head with a bitter smile. The Heavenly Thunder Wings on his back automatically disappeared, causing the girl's eyes to shine even brighter.
"I'm called Mai Ya. Sell this to me and I'll owe you a favor!" The girl was unwilling to give up, her expression very serious as she looked at Zi Chen.
Just as Zi Chen was in a difficult position and didn't know what to say, Steward Mack spoke up for Zi Chen, "Miss, you won't be able to use this thing even if you get it."
The girl seemed to trust Steward Mack a lot, and angrily said, "Humph, forget it. So stingy!"
Just as Zi Chen thought that this matter was over, the girl's expression changed and she said, "Why don't you give me that movement technique? I'll give you a reward. You can name any price you want."
Zi Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly at the sight of this mischievous girl. "Little girl, this movement technique and wings are exclusive. They can't be traded."
"Little girl, how dare you call me a little girl? I'm already 71 years old!
You're the little girl! "The girl raised her fist at Zi Chen like an angry kitten.
"I'm already over two thousand years old. Can't I call you a little girl?" Zi Chen smiled bitterly again, but he was secretly shocked.
"Over two thousand years old and only a grade 8 hunter. You're really weak."
Hearing the girl's mutterings, the surrounding people all blushed with shame. After today's battle, who would dare say that Zi Chen was weak?
Dun Li very decisively took out a small flask and handed it to Zi Chen. "Zi Chen, here's the difference in compensation. Five hundred drops of Sacred Origin Liquid!"
Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "I've already received my reward. I was just joking."
Dun Li said with a serious face, "That's that. Our rewards are distributed according to battle strength. Your battle strength is more than enough to receive these rewards."
"Haven't I already distributed them? Let's talk about it next time.
Of course, these Sacred Origin Liquid spoils will all belong to me. "Zi Chen joked.
Dun Li had seen Zi Chen give away over seven hundred drops of Sacred Origin Liquid to others, so he wasn't too bothered by it.
He didn't mind too much about the fact that he had given less to Zi Chen.
This wasn't their first mission, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. When the time came, they naturally wouldn't let Zi Chen down.
Zi Chen's battle strength had indeed surprised them. He wasn't weaker than an ordinary grade 9. More importantly, Zi Chen was only a grade 8, which made them value Zi Chen's potential even more.
Zi Chen had expended a lot of energy, so the task of cleaning up the battlefield was left to Lindsey. This time, Lindsey didn't say anything. After witnessing Zi Chen's battle strength, he was completely convinced.
While cleaning up the battlefield, Zi Chen had already consumed five drops of Sacred Origin Liquid.
On one hand, besides recovering his energy, his strength had also increased tremendously during this period of time, as if there were no bottlenecks to speak of.
For others, it was very difficult for his constitution to transform, but for him, it seemed that as long as he had enough Sacred Origin Liquid, he could continue to transform.
As he continuously consumed Sacred Origin Liquid, his body seemed to have developed some sort of resistance. Now, he needed to consume even more Sacred Origin Liquid to continue to improve.
Of course, he could also consume one drop, but the effect was too low.
The amount of Sacred Origin Liquid Zi Chen consumed started to increase.
