Inside a dark and quiet mountain range, inside a gigantic shrine that stood in the middle of a cave in a valley …
Suddenly, a black glow shone from the shrine's central altar, and a figure walked out of the glow. This person was none other than Beast Emperor, who had just been killed by the Shifeng.
At this moment, aside from his aura being somewhat weak, Beast Emperor's level had not decreased in the slightest. He was still at Level 132, Tier 4.
"Hei Yan! You think you can heavily injure me with the Abyssal Soul Curse? Dream on! " When Beast Emperor recalled the Shifeng that had instantly killed him, he sneered and said, "I have received the Evil God's blessing and obtained the Forbidden Skill, Immortal Body. How could it be so easy for you to kill me? Just you wait. I have already grasped the basics of Tier 5 Faux Saint monsters' evolution. So long as I gather enough materials, I will soon make you Ling Yi feel the fear of death!"
The Tier 4 Taboo Skill, Immortal Body, allowed him to resurrect in the Evil God's Temple once per day without paying the price of death. He could even kill himself instantly, even while in a bound state.
This was a trump card he had prepared to deal with NPCs capturing him. After all, if an NPC, especially one from the War God's Temple, captured him, he would be dead for sure.
It was precisely because of this Forbidden Skill that he dared to strut around the Evil God's Temple without having to live in the shadows. He also did not have to fear NPCs trying to capture him.
It's a pity that Lu Xingluo is hopeless. With his help, the Faux Saint monsters will appear much faster, Beast Emperor thought regretfully. I can only rely on myself from now on.
It was simply too difficult for the Shifeng to capture him. After all, capturing him required a considerable amount of time. Moreover, as a Tier 4 player, he would not give the Shifeng the opportunity to capture him. However, it was a different story for the Tier 3 Lu Xingluo. A Tier 4 player could do whatever they wanted with him. A simple bind from him could easily capture a Tier 3 player.
As for Lu Xingluo, due to his escape from the War God's Temple, he had already contaminated himself with a portion of the Evil Energy. If he handed Lu Xingluo over to the War God's Temple, only death awaited him. Even if Lu Xingluo wanted to do so, he would most likely have to wait over a dozen days.
"But so what if I can only rely on myself? Let alone 1,000 Faux Saint Mythic monsters, I can even produce 5,000 Faux Saint Mythic monsters as long as I have enough time! Thinking up to this point, Beast Emperor opened his Spatial Bag and tried to retrieve the Faux Saint Mythic monster.
However, the Beast Emperor's expression quickly became flustered.
"It's gone?" The Beast Emperor searched his spatial backpack thrice, unable to believe what he saw. "Could it be … dropped …"
Thinking of this, the Beast Emperor's face turned green.
"Hei Yan! You and I are irreconcilable! "
An earth-shattering roar reverberated throughout the silent valley.
While Beast Emperor was resurrected, the Shifeng also cast Dark Shackles and Mobile Prison to imprison Lu Xingluo in the Secret Covenant Tower, not giving him any chance to escape.
Throughout the entire process, from killing Beast Emperor to imprisoning Lu Xingluo, only five seconds had passed. However, Hundred Ghosts's members, who were watching from a short distance away, felt their hair stand on end.
Shifeng's previous attack was simply too frightening.
Even Candlelight Shadow, a Tier 4 Phantom Dancer, barely saw Shifeng's attack. He only realized what had happened the instant Shifeng arrived before Beast Emperor.
So long as one wasn't a Tier 4 defensive class, such an attack would most likely kill them instantly.
However, after Beast Emperor's death, the Faux Saint army fell into chaos. Without a leader, the hundreds of thousands of Faux Saint monsters began fleeing frantically. Even the Faux Saint Saboteurs knew that they couldn't escape. Hence, the 300-plus Saboteurs surrounded Xiang Shifeng's group, intending to fight to the death.
"Foolish resistance!"
When Shifeng saw the 300-plus Saboteurs charging at him, he immediately took out the Ring of Gospel from his bag.
After injecting 5,000 Magic Crystals into the ring, he activated Miniature World.
Immediately, with Shifeng as the center, the space within a 5,000-yard radius around him froze. At the same time, a powerful pressure descended from the sky, causing the Faux Saint monsters to feel an indescribable weight weighing down on them. Their Basic Attributes also plummeted. At this point, they would be fortunate to maintain half of their combat power.
"World Suppression?" The golden-armored man was shocked when he saw the Faux Saint Saboteurs' physiques and speed decrease. "Just how many tricks does Hei Yan have up his sleeves?"
Originally, he thought that the 300-plus Faux Saint monsters would be able to cause a lot of trouble for Ling Yi. Now, however, it would seem that his expectations were nothing more than a joke.
Unlike ordinary magic barriers, World Suppression could suppress an opponent in all aspects. Moreover, it covered a very wide area. Even Tier 4 players who had grasped a Mana Domain wouldn't be able to resist World Suppression. If one didn't have a Mana Domain, they wouldn't even be able to fly within World Suppression's range.
Originally, the Faux Saint Saboteurs possessed Tier 4 combat power. Now, however, every one of them was only at the Basic Tier 4 standard. Now, let alone Tier 4 players, these Faux Saint Saboteurs could even put up a fight against Tier 3 peak experts.
"Friends from Hundred Ghosts, according to our agreement, you can take action now, right?" Shifeng could not help but turn to look at Hundred Ghosts's members. Smiling, he asked, "Or were you all just joking before?"
"President Hei Yan must be joking. Of course, we will abide by our agreement," Windshadow said, chuckling. He then gestured with his hand and commanded, "Begin!"
At Windshadow's command, the Black Knight Legion's members promptly moved to intercept the Faux Saint Saboteurs one after another.
Although these Black Knights were only Tier 3 players, they were equipped with Tier 3 Mana Set Equipment. In terms of strength, they were even stronger than the Faux Saint Saboteurs at their peak, let alone now.
With just a single attack, the Faux Saint Saboteurs were forced to retreat repeatedly. They were no match for the Black Knight Legion.
"Fire, have Summer and the others join the battle as well. Each of them needs to kill at least three Faux Saint Saboteurs," Shifeng said to Fire Dance when he saw the Black Knight Legion joining the battle.
These Faux Saint Saboteurs were priceless treasures. Although they did not drop any loot, the gray mist they exuded was a valuable item. While the gray mist was extremely valuable to Tier 4 players, it would also be of great help to Tier 3 players.
Now that they were already in the era of Tier 4 players, the best course of action was to increase Summer and the others' success rate as much as possible.
"Okay! I'll have them come down right away, "Fire Dance said, nodding. She then contacted the Mobile Fortress.
While Fire Dance contacted the Mobile Fortress, Unyielding Heart and Illusory Words flew over to the Mobile Fortress.
"President Hei Yan, the two of us have discussed if it's possible to purchase a dozen or so Faux Saint Saboteurs," Unyielding Heart said, somewhat embarrassed. "We are willing to purchase each Faux Saint Saboteur and a complete Tier 3 Legacy Set."
It would be impossible for them not to be envious of the Faux Saint Saboteurs. With the gray mist's help, their Guild's peak experts would have a much higher chance of getting promoted to Tier 4.
Currently, the various superpowers desperately lacked Tier 4 players. If Unyielding Heart and Illusory Words could gain a few more Tier 4 players, their Guilds would have a much easier time in the future.
When Shifeng saw the ashamed expressions on Unyielding Heart's and Illusory Words' faces, he chuckled and said, "Vice Guild Leaders, there's no need to say anything. Previously, the two of you fought alongside Ling Yi to fend off the various superpowers. You can choose 30 Faux Saint Saboteurs each. Treat them as Ling Yi's compensation. You don't need to contribute anything."
Shi Feng was very grateful to Crimson Emperor and Unyielding Soul.
If not for these two Guilds' help, Ling Yi wouldn't have survived until he returned. Hence, giving away some Faux Saint Saboteurs wasn't worth mentioning at all. After all, if Crimson Emperor and Illusory Words grew stronger, it would benefit Ling Yi as well. Moreover, Ling Yi didn't need so many Faux Saint Saboteurs.
After all, the Faux Saint Saboteur's Tier 4 Promotion Quest would only be icing on the cake. Currently, less than 20 people in Zero Wing were confident of completing their Tier 4 Promotion Quests. Hence, the Faux Saint Saboteur's Tier 4 Promotion Quests wouldn't be able to increase their success rate. Hence, it would be better to use the Faux Saint Saboteur's Tier 4 Promotion Quests instead.
"Thank you, President Hei Yan."
Unyielding Heart and Illusory Words were overjoyed when they heard Shi Feng's words. After all, 30 Faux Saint Saboteurs were more than enough for their two Guilds' peak experts.
Less than an hour later, the Faux Saint army was annihilated. Shifeng had also risen from Level 146 to Level 148. He was now only two levels away from the Level 150 threshold and could attempt to create a Mana Body. As for Fire Dance and the other Tier 4 players, they had reached Level 145. As for Alluring Summer and Ling Yi's upper echelons, they had also reached Level 130. One could say that this battle had given the Faux Saint army a massive boost in leveling.
After the Faux Saint army was annihilated, Candlelight Shadow and the others handed the forging design for the Tier 3 Mana Set Equipment to Shifeng as per their agreement. After receiving the forging design, Shifeng immediately lifted the seal on the Tower of Light. At the same time, he had Sky Spring City release the Qi Yuan.
However, after the battle at the Secret Covenant Tower ended and the seal on the Tower of Light was lifted, news of the battle quickly spread.
