Chapter 2962

They had actually been ambushed.

That was the first thought that appeared in Zi Chen's mind.

Then, he calmed down.

Along the way, he had been ambushed too many times. The only time he had almost been in danger was at the Black Order Battlefield. The other ambushes were nothing to him.

That was because Zhang Haotian had always been in the team, and also because he had already grasped the secrets of the Misty Shadow.

Among the Heavenly Generals, who had better concealment techniques than the Misty Shadow?

Only Zhang Haotian.

The ambush was fast, but his thoughts were even faster. As the thought flashed through his mind, Zi Chen's fist had already struck out.

The fist landed solidly on the sharp blade, and lightning exploded in front of him. The terrifying power wreaked havoc, and the sharp blade in front of him shattered instantly.

Behind the blade was a man. He was not wearing a mask, and looked extremely unprofessional.

His face was filled with shock, and his body was about to hide again.

"Hmph!"

Zi Chen snorted coldly, and his voice was like a heavy hammer that struck the man's heart. The lightning on his fist continued to flash, and a violent aura surged out again, landing on the man's chest.

Thunder roared, and the man's armor instantly shattered. Endless lightning energy poured into the man's body like a torrent.

The unprofessional assassin, who looked like he was barely at the seventh grade, coughed up blood and flew backwards.

His body drew an arc in the air, and he crashed to the ground, no longer breathing.

Zi Chen walked forward, and with a wave of his hand, he collected the man's body.

He did not care if the assassination was intentional or coincidental. He had no interest in it at all.

With the protection of the Lightning Body, he was not afraid of any assassination. Furthermore, the assassin's assassination techniques were not very good. At least, they were much worse than the Misty Shadow.

As for whether they would find trouble with Zhang Haotian and the others, Zi Chen did not care. As long as Zhang Haotian was in the team, no assassin would be able to get close, let alone such an unprofessional one.

Not long after, he met up with Shadowless, and they continued to kill the seventh grade Heavenly Beasts.

Another month passed, and Zi Chen returned to the team. At this time, the team was still moving forward slowly.

After returning, Su Mengyao told him that the team had been ambushed, and all of them had died.

Actually, she didn't see it. It was Zhang Haotian who said that before the opponent could make a move, Zhang Haotian had discovered him and killed him.

Zi Chen thought for a moment and said, "Protect Kang Mo well."

Su Mengyao already knew what happened to Kang Mo. She asked him to stay in the hall at all times. Now she nods gently.

Zi Chen once again took out some Level 2 Heavenly Beast resources and gave them to Su Mengyao. A day later, he left once again.

On the day that Zi Chen left, Su Mengyao and the others also began to move and went directly into the depths.

This time, Zi Chen took a full three months to return. Obviously, he had gained a lot.

For the next half a year, sometimes once a year.

Two people appeared in front of him. Looking at these two rank-seven martial artists, he attacked without hesitation. After a while, the battle ended.

Now, he could easily control the power of lightning and ensure that he could obtain a complete set of battle armor.

The battle armor might seem useless here, but once they returned to the God Realm, the battle armor here would be of great use.

During this time, Zi Chen was also collecting materials, not letting go of any grade.

He did not know which force came to assassinate him. In short, in these years, many people had died.

Time passed, and Zi Chen and the others had stayed in this area for more than a hundred years. In these hundred years, they had been refining resources continuously, and everyone's realm had increased rapidly.

Luo Yi was the first rank-seven martial artist in the team besides Zi Chen. She had broken through fifty years ago, followed by the Devil Ape and Longhu Sovereign.

The others in the team had also reached rank-six in a very short time. Now, they were not far from rank-seven.

In these hundred years, Kang Mo had refined two sets of custom-made battle armor. One was for Luo Yi, and the other was for Xing Chen. Zi Chen's third set of battle armor was still in the process of being refined. It was said that it was almost done.

For a custom-made battle armor, this speed was obviously very fast.

At this time, everyone had already entered the area where most of the rank-seven Heavenly Beasts were, but they were still moving forward slowly.

As time passed, more and more people in the team had reached rank-seven. Zi Chen still did not show any signs of breaking through. In this period of time, he had refined quite a number of Heavenly Beasts' inner cores.

"Could it be that I have to find a rank-eight Heavenly Beast?"

Zi Chen couldn't help but think. He had never fought with a Heavenly Beast of that level before, but he had fought with rank-eight Heavenly Beasts before, such as Donder.

With this thought in mind, he began to go deeper. Five days later, he found a rank-eight Heavenly Beast.

It was a rank-eight Gale Heavenly Eagle, and it was hunting. Its sharp claws had pierced through the head of a rank-seven Heavenly Beast, and it was flying with the corpse.

Swish!

Zi Chen used the Lightning Nine Deaths and charged towards the Gale Heavenly Eagle.

The Gale Heavenly Eagle had also noticed Zi Chen's arrival. It let go of the corpse and flew towards him.

Zi Chen clenched his fist, and lightning flashed on his fist.

Boom!

The energy vibrated, and Zi Chen's body was pushed back. The Gale Heavenly Eagle also flew up into the sky.

It spread its wings, and with two gusts of wind, it swooped down again.

It swooped down fiercely, like a falling meteorite.

Zi Chen looked at the Gale Heavenly Eagle as it swooped down. He could feel the terrifying aura coming towards him, and his expression turned serious.

Lightning flashed on his body. It was the power of the Lightning Body, and also the power of Yin and Yang. The three types of energy swirled around his body, gathering towards his fist.

He clenched his fist and punched out.

Peng!

The tri-colored light exploded, and a powerful shockwave spread out. The Gale Heavenly Eagle cried out in pain, and was sent flying back.

Zi Chen flew up into the sky, following it like a shadow, and punched out again.

With a loud boom, the feathers on the Gale Heavenly Eagle's head shattered, and blood splattered everywhere as its body was sent flying.

With a screech, it flapped its wings, preparing to flee.

To be able to send a powerful rank-eight Heavenly Beast fleeing in an instant, one could see how powerful and terrifying Zi Chen was.

Zi Chen's body flashed, and he used the Lightning Nine Deaths to the maximum. In a blink of an eye, he had caught up with the Gale Heavenly Eagle.

Swish!

With a raise of his hand, the blade slashed down, and a strong light flashed. The blade cut through the Gale Heavenly Eagle's head with great difficulty.

Puff!

Blood spurted out, and the Gale Heavenly Eagle's body was sent flying for thousands of feet before it landed on the ground.

With a wave of his hand, Zi Chen kept the Gale Heavenly Eagle's body.

Obtaining an Eighth Grade Heavenly Beast's Inner Core, his face was filled with joy.

After that, he stopped moving forward, and instead, he started to refine the energy from the Eighth Grade Heavenly Beast's Inner Core. The energy was extremely powerful, and after it entered his body, it would be refined by the Lightning Body, and the purest part would be absorbed by his body.

After refining the Eighth Grade Heavenly Beast's Inner Core, Zi Chen's physical body did not break through, which made him feel very regretful.

Fortunately, his combat strength had increased, and the lightning around his body was even more violent.
