The escort mission was not difficult, but it would take them a month to get there, and it would also take them a month to get back. That was all.
On the way back, everyone was quite happy.
The night was dark, and the bonfire burned brightly, illuminating the surroundings. The light from the fire shone on everyone's faces, making them feel warm and red. The shadows of the trees in the distance were heavy under the light of the fire. As the night wind blew, the trees swayed and rustled, making the night seem even darker.
Above the bonfire, there was a thick beast leg that was a few meters long. The fat dripped down and was burned by the fire, making popping sounds. The rich aroma of meat spread out.
Everyone was sitting around the bonfire, tearing pieces of barbecued meat from the beast leg. They were eating and chatting as they walked.
"Huan Ming, how many wind coins do you need to exchange for that secret technique?" Captain Wu Liu tore off a big piece of barbecued meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed a few times and then ground it into powder before swallowing it.
"After we go back and complete the mission and get the reward, I should still need one thousand wind coins." Huan Ming was tearing off a piece of barbecued meat as he calmly answered Wu Liu.
Wind coins were a kind of contribution points in the Trade Wind Tower.
The Trade Wind Tower was so powerful and had a deep foundation. Naturally, they had many treasures, cultivation methods, secret techniques, and so on. However, if one wanted to get them, he would need to exchange them with wind coins.
How to get wind coins?
Contribute, contribute to the Trade Wind Tower.
Carrying out missions was one way to contribute.
Normal missions of guarding the Trade Wind Tower would also give wind coins, but it was less difficult than patrolling the Trade Wind Tower.
Only by going out to complete missions could one get more wind coins. The amount of wind coins one could get was directly related to the difficulty of the mission.
The difficulty of this escort mission wasn't high, so the reward wouldn't be too much. Of course, it would definitely be more than the reward for patrolling the Trade Wind Tower.
The bonfire burned brightly, and the night breeze blew gently. The leaves rustled, and the shadows of the trees swayed gently. For a moment, it was as if it was dyed with a bit of eeriness, and it became ghostly. Even the wind that blew past became colder, and it was filled with traces of coldness.
Chen Zong subconsciously glanced around and felt that the shadows of the trees around him seemed to contain countless shadows. It was indescribably strange.
This was something that had never happened before. The faint eerie aura permeated the air and became colder and colder. Not only did it attract Chen Zong's attention, but it also attracted the attention of Wu Liu and Huan Ming after Chen Zong gave them a warning look. As for the other members, although they were also alert, their strength was still lacking.
Chen Zong, Wu Liu, and Huan Ming exchanged glances with each other. Then, they continued to drink, eat, and chat as if they didn't notice anything.
The wind grew stronger and stronger, and the rustling of the leaves became more intense. The chill was even more shocking. The bonfire danced crazily in the wind, and the shadows under the illumination of the fire were constantly changing, as if ghosts were dancing.
"Everyone, let's have a drink." Wu Liu raised his wine jar, looked around, and laughed.
Everyone raised their wine jars as well. Suddenly, the wine jars carried a terrifying force and were flung out in all directions. They exploded instantly, and the fragments of the wine jars mixed with each drop of wine contained a terrifying force. They broke through the air like a fairy scattering flowers.
Just as the wine jars broke through the air, the ten of them turned around in an instant. They activated their Divine Forms and directly revealed their tyrannical strength. They attacked in ten different directions. The strength broke through the air, and the momentum was earth-shattering, suppressing everything.
The light was strong and dazzling, and it lit up the surroundings.
It was unknown when, but a group of figures had quietly approached them.
Chen Zong and the rest attacked without any warning. It was very sudden, and it caught everyone off guard. However, the surrounding shadows also reacted in the shortest time possible.
Dodge!
Defend!
Even so, some people were hit and flew out.
However, there were also people who blocked the sudden attack of Chen Zong and the rest.
"Rats of the Heaven Shadow Tower, you really dare to come to die." Wu Liu chuckled. His gigantic body of 110 feet charged forward in an instant, like a gigantic rhinoceros stomping on the ground. An astonishing power erupted from his charge, as if he could break through everything. He brazenly charged towards one of the figures.
Boom!
A punch broke through the air, as if it could shatter the sky into powder. He wanted to smash the opponent with one punch.
That's right. The people who were attacking from all directions were from the Heaven Shadow Tower. Their purpose was naturally to assassinate Chen Zong.
When Chen Zong was still in the Trade Wind Tower, they would not attack him, because the price was too high. Now that Chen Zong and the rest were on their way back from completing their mission, they were most relaxed. It was also the easiest time for them to succeed.
Obtaining the greatest effect with the smallest price had always been the Heaven Shadow Tower's way of doing things.
It would be best if they could kill Chen Zong and the others without losing a single soldier or general. Therefore, they slowly concealed themselves and concealed their auras as they approached. When they were close enough, they would erupt and unleash their killing moves, hoping to kill Chen Zong and the others directly. Even if they couldn't kill all of them, it would be good if they could kill as many as possible and injure as many as possible to reduce the threat.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zong's perception was so sharp. The slightest change immediately caught Chen Zong's attention, and he signaled to Wu Liu and Huan Ming. These two were in the Final Extreme Realm, and their perception was outstanding. They had rich experience, and they immediately understood from Chen Zong's glance. They also felt that something was wrong around them.
After that, Wu Liu showed the qualities of an excellent leader, and also the high level of cooperation of the team.
With just a glance, the other team members immediately understood what Wu Liu, the leader, wanted to express. In an instant, they attacked in all directions.
This was a tacit understanding that had been accumulated through countless cooperation. It was also trust, a kind of unreserved and unhesitant trust. If it was not so, it would be absolutely difficult to achieve.
However, the assassins of the Heaven Shadow Tower who attacked this time were not to be underestimated. There were both in the Low and Final Extreme Realms, and there was even a pseudo Super Realm.
The sudden attack of Chen Zong and the rest was certainly unexpected, but it did not really injure the assassins of the Heaven Shadow Tower.
Fight!
Fierce fight!
The one who attacked Chen Zong was the pseudo Super Realm master of the Heaven Shadow Tower. In fact, the Heaven Shadow Tower did not know what level Chen Zong's strength had reached. However, based on the Life-and-Death Battle with Qi Shu, he should be at the top of the Final Extreme Realm.
As for the news that Chen Zong had killed a complete universe ferocious demon on his way to the Mystical Light Divine Dynasty, it did not spread out, and the people of the Divine Shadow Tower did not know about it. Otherwise, they would not have just sent a pseudo Transcendent Realm expert to deal with Chen Zong. They would have even sent a real Transcendent Realm expert.
In an instant, Chen Zong made a judgment of his surroundings, and there was a deep sense of danger lingering.
The first level of the Sword Sharpening Technique!
A Night's Wind and Rain in Xiao Lou!
Without hesitation, Chen Zong directly displayed a tyrannical killing move.
Under Chen Zong's continuous comprehension, A Night's Wind and Rain in Xiao Lou had not really broken through to the twelfth level, but it was already at the top of the eleventh-level Ao Wu. With the enhancement of the first level of the Sword Sharpening Technique, its power was even more shocking.
Moreover, Chen Zong's purpose was not to kill the opponent with this move. He only needed to interfere with the attack of the Divine Will for a moment.
The wind blew gently, and the night breeze was gentle, which set off the night even more.
The pseudo Super Realm master was instantly affected by the Divine Will, and there was an extremely short pause. The strength of his Divine Will and the realm of his Divine Will were not as strong as Chen Zong's.
The first level of the Sword Sharpening Technique!
The Slash of Heavenly Wind!
The Slash of Heavenly Wind was now Chen Zong's most tyrannical move.
The twelfth-level Ao Wu was also very compatible with the Path of the World. Once displayed, it was extremely overbearing and its power was shocking.
Slash!
The pseudo Super Realm master could not resist the sword at all. His face was full of shock, and he could only force out his power, but he was still a little too slow.
The body of the Divine Image was suddenly cut open, and even its body was cut open. Its vitality was also obliterated in an instant.
After killing the pseudo Super Realm master, Chen Zong stomped his feet, and a tyrannical power erupted. He directly turned into a flash of lightning, and with his sword, he attacked the nearest assassin of the Heaven Shadow Tower.
Lightning Slash of Shocking Wind!
Although it was still at the eleventh level, Chen Zong had already raised it to the top of the eleventh level. It could not be easier to deal with a Minor Realm master.
Double kill!
The sword light rushed forward with irresistible force. It was like a lightning aurora, and it was extremely sharp. It pierced through everything, and there was no way to resist it.
Triple kill!
The sword was merciless, and it killed continuously. One assassin after another from the Heaven Shadow Tower was killed by Chen Zong, greatly relieving the pressure on the other team members.
As for Huan Ming and Wu Liu, their opponents were all Upper Realm masters. They could not help the other team members in a short period of time. Chen Zong displayed amazing combat power, and he killed continuously. He had already killed five people, and the other team members who had lost their opponents could naturally help the other team members.
This was not a one-on-one competition, but a fight to the death. Naturally, there were no rules or etiquette in a fight to the death. Everything was to kill the opponent.
If they could not kill the opponent, they would be killed by the opponent.
Chen Zong's strength was completely beyond the expectations of these Heaven Shadow Tower assassins. Even though the Heaven Shadow Tower had sent out more Minor Realm and Upper Realm masters than Chen Zong's team this time, and they had even sent out a pseudo Super Realm master, they had still underestimated Chen Zong's ability.
When the last assassin from the Heaven Shadow Tower died under Chen Zong's sword, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"This time, the Heaven Shadow Tower's losses are not small," one of the Minor Realm members said with a smile. He was very excited.
Although the Heaven Shadow Tower was not weak, the number of Extreme Realm masters they had accumulated was not as many as the Trade Wind Tower.
This time, more than ten of them had died, including three Upper Realm masters and one pseudo Super Realm master. This loss was even more shocking.
On the other hand, Chen Zong's team did not die, but three Minor Realm masters were injured. However, compared to the other team's losses, it was insignificant.
A complete victory!
Clap, clap, clap …
In an instant, a series of rhythmic claps rang out. It was like thunder exploding in everyone's ears. In an instant, everyone's hair stood on end.
Who was it?
They did not even realize that someone was there. Chen Zong's face was solemn. The deep sense of danger was extremely intense.
A figure seemed to walk out from the shadows. His eyes were long and narrow, and the cold light was restrained. He was slowly clapping his hands.
"It's you!" When they saw the newcomer, Wu Liu and Huan Ming's faces changed drastically. Their bodies trembled unconsciously.
"Chen Zong, the newcomer is one of the two masters on the Divine General List of the Heaven Shadow Tower. Split up and escape." Wu Liu's voice also reached Chen Zong's ears.
