Outside the Thunder Temple, several hundred players had gathered before the temple's main entrance.
If an ordinary player saw these players, they'd be shocked. Even the lowest-leveled player among them was Level 77. In a kingdom, they'd rank among the top three. In an empire, they'd rank among the top 20.
However, there were hundreds of players gathered here. These players were divided into several groups. Among them, there were over a hundred players guarding the entrance of the main hall. They were in a standoff with the several groups outside the main hall.
If God's Domain's experts saw this scene, their jaws would likely fall to the ground.
These teams were all well-known experts from the various superpowers. They even had a large number of peak experts among them, yet every one of them was blocked outside the Thunder Temple. They couldn't enter the temple's main hall at all.
"Diverging Phoenix! We've already given the Flower of Seven Sins plenty of face by allowing you to occupy the main hall. Now that five superpowers have gathered here, don't you think you're going overboard by occupying the main hall? "Sanctuary of the Holy Church's Vice Temple Master, Quiet Melody, said coldly as she glared at Diverging Phoenix.
"The Flower of Seven Sins has an important quest to complete. Naturally, we won't stop you once we've completed our quest. However, if you wish to force your way in, you're welcome to try," Diverging Phoenix said coldly as she glanced at Quiet Melody.
As soon as Diverging Phoenix finished speaking, the 20 players wearing the Crimson Emblem beside her stepped forward, their bodies shrouded in a faint, black fog. They looked like the embodiment of darkness, and their frightening auras made everyone shudder involuntarily.
When these 20 players stepped forward, the expressions of the various superpowers' experts darkened.
"Blood Guards?" Quiet Melody frowned when she saw the 20 experts wearing the Crimson Insignia on the stage.
The main hall of the Thunder Temple in the Thunder God's Secret Land contained more than just a Dungeon. It was also a place where players could accept quests and exchange items.
Previously, the Sacred Temple had only had a little over 20 members. They hadn't been able to do anything to the Flower of Seven Sins, which occupied the main hall. Now, however, the five superpowers had gathered over a hundred members. In terms of numbers, the Sacred Temple wasn't any weaker than the Flower of Seven Sins.
However, the Blood Guards were a well-known name among the various superpowers.
The Blood Guards had become famous during a war on the western continent. Back then, a new superpower had competed with the Super Guild Rashomon over an important town. Since the new superpower wasn't a match for Rashomon, it had paid an exorbitant price to invite the Flower of Seven Sins to participate in the war.
Rashomon was no weaker than the Battle Wolves. It could be considered an upper-middle tier Super Guild. However, the Flower of Seven Sins' Blood Guards had ended that war with hundreds of thousands of players. The Blood Guards had annihilated Rashomon's Vice Guild Leader and peak experts.
Among the 5,000 experts protecting Rashomon's Vice Guild Leader, there had been four Domain Realm experts and over a dozen peak experts. Yet, 100 Blood Guards had annihilated all of them.
Thanks to this incident, the Blood Guards' fame spread throughout the various superpowers, causing everyone to fear the Flower of Seven Sins even more.
Although there were only 20 Blood Guards in front of her, the various superpowers had over a hundred members, and even the weakest among them was a Flowing Water Realm expert. Even so, she wasn't confident that she could deal with 20 Blood Guards.
"Vice Temple Master, although the Blood Guards are strong, we still have a chance. If we wait any longer, more superpowers will enter the Thunder God's Secret Land, and we'll lose our advantage," Ruthless Sky, who stood beside Quiet Melody, said.
The Blood Guards were indeed very famous, but that was only a month ago. Now, the various superpowers had obtained more and more Epic items, combat techniques, and special Legacies. Their overall strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
Moreover, aside from Sanctuary of the Holy Church, the other four superpowers had also sent their own Domain Realm experts. Even if they weren't a match for the Blood Guards, they should have no problem pinning down the Blood Guards. Quiet Melody and the others could enter the main hall and investigate the situation.
"Alright, then. Have everyone move out!" Quiet Melody understood the current situation. If they delayed any longer, Sanctuary of the Holy Church's advantage would shrink.
"Leave it to me!" Ruthless Sky said, chuckling.
As one of the Eight Sword Heroes, Ruthless Sky had improved significantly during this period. He had even grasped a Bronze Combat Technique. He was confident that he could go toe-to-toe with Miracle Dragon, who had already reached the Domain Realm. Defeating the Blood Guards, who were mostly Flowing Water Realm experts, shouldn't be a problem.
With Sanctuary of the Holy Church taking the lead, the various superpowers' 100-plus members followed Ruthless Sky into the main hall.
"You overestimate yourselves!" Diverging Phoenix said calmly as she watched the 100-plus Flowing Water Realm experts charge at her. "Blood Guards, hear my command! Kill them all!"
The instant Diverging Phoenix finished speaking, the twenty Blood Guards were like tigers that had been released from their cages. Madness flashed in their eyes as the black fog around their bodies expanded. Pitch-black scales and spikes covered their bodies, and a crimson gem appeared between their foreheads. They no longer looked like human players. Instead, their frightening auras made them seem like demonic creatures that had crawled out of the abyss.
"What's going on?"
The various superpowers' experts were confused when they saw the Blood Guards' transformation.
Players weren't allowed to use Berserk Skills in the Thunder God's Secret Land, yet the Blood Guards' auras had skyrocketed. The dark aura they radiated made even the various superpowers' experts shudder.
Before the various superpowers' experts could react, the 20 Blood Guards left behind afterimages and appeared before Ruthless Sky and the others in the blink of an eye.
One of the Blood Guards, a Level 77 Berserker, swung his saber at Ruthless Sky. The Berserker's attack was simple and swift, without any excess movement or emotion. It was as if the Blood Guard was a natural-born killing machine.
"Don't think you can stop me that easily!"
Ruthless Sky said as he executed the Bronze Combat Technique he had just learned, Spatial Flash.
All of a sudden, the three sword lights turned into a devastating starlight and disappeared in a flash, directly colliding with the saber in the Blood God Guard's hand.
Boom!
The sound of weapons clashing echoed throughout the main hall.
The Blood Guards stumbled back two steps, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes. Ruthless Sky, on the other hand, took half a step back.
How is this possible? Ruthless Sky was stunned as he stared at the Blood Guards before him.
As a Bronze Combat Technique, Spatial Flash allowed him to combine three strands of Strength into one. Although it couldn't increase his Strength by 300%, it could still increase his Strength by roughly 240%.
Yet, despite having more than doubled his Strength Attribute, the Blood Guards' Strength was only slightly weaker than his.
In other words, if he hadn't used Spatial Flash, he would've been the one sent flying.
Using a Bronze Combat Technique consumed a lot of Stamina and Concentration. Even he could only use Spatial Flash six or seven times at most.
At this moment, Ruthless Sky wasn't the only one who was shocked. The various superpowers' experts were just as shocked by the Blood Guards' strength. In fact, several Flowing Water Realm experts had already died before their healers could even heal them.
"Do you think you can deal with the Blood Guards just because you have more people? What a fool! "Diverging Phoenix sneered as she watched Quiet Melody's group fall into a stalemate.
The Blood Guards were already extremely difficult to deal with outside the Thunder God's Secret Land. Even Domain Realm experts would struggle to defeat them, but inside the Thunder God's Secret Land, even she would find the Blood Guards troublesome. How could the various superpowers' peak experts possibly be a match for the Blood Guards?
Just as the various superpowers were about to lose ground, ten figures suddenly appeared in the side hall, attracting everyone's attention.
"Why are there other players here?"
"They came out of the side hall? Who are they?"
While the various superpowers' experts wondered what was going on, Diverging Phoenix and Sand Bone, who stood by the hall's entrance, stared at the ten figures.
"Can't hold out any longer? Today will be the day you die! " Sand Bone said excitedly as he licked his lips. "Activate the magic array! Don't let them enter the Dungeon this time!"
Immediately, the Tier 2 Assassins that had been lying in ambush outside the side hall appeared and activated Blood Demon Seal.
In the blink of an eye, the Blood Demon Seal enveloped Shifeng's group, including the various superpowers' experts. This time, however, the magic array's barrier prevented Shifeng's group from entering the side hall. Unless they destroyed the magic array, they wouldn't be able to enter the side hall.
