Chapter 2601 - 2601 The City of Origin in the Inner City (2 in 1)
2601 The City of Origin in the Inner City (2 in 1)
The main reason why people of City of Origin could survive anywhere was that they were very fast, which was their talent. Speed could surpa.s.s all kinds of means.
Because people couldn’t be sent into Origin Stars in the inner city, although Han Fei refined Luo Chen and the others into living dead puppets, they couldn’t enter his Origin Star.
Then, on the way to find An Shanbei and the others, he could only search along the way.
As for Han Fei, he still turned into a black fog and was attached to Luo Chen.
Along the way, Luo Chen led 3 Dao Lock-level cultivators and 19 high-level cultivators, a total of 23 people, which could be said to be unparalleled. This strength was even stronger than the combined strength of many people from the Hundred Alliances.
!!
As for Han Fei, he let Luo Chen find the way while checking Luo Chen’s memory. He had thought that since these people had all come from that secret place in the Chaotic Wasteland, their memories should have memories of that place.
However, Han Fei was surprised to find that there was nothing.
Han Fei read the memories of these 23 people, and none of them had memories of that place.
However, Han Fei knew very well that there were definitely not so many strong masters in the Chaotic Wasteland. He had checked the whole City of Scavengers. If there were so many strong masters, how could he not know?
Therefore, there was only one answer, which was that when they left that mysterious place, their memories about it had been cut off. It was just like when he parted ways with w.a.n.g Yijian and the others, they each cut off all their memories of the way back to the Raging Sea.
If this memory was severed, they could only return through someone else’s lead. If something happened to that person, it meant that they would never be able to return to the Raging Sea.
The situation was the same for these people. All the information about the mysterious place in the Chaotic Wasteland had been cut off. It could only mean that that place was very mysterious. The forces in the Chaotic Wasteland protected it very carefully.
They had erased their memories, not because they were afraid that a Sky Opener like Han Fei or some ordinary Dao Provers would find that place, but because they were afraid of the Monarchs of the East Sea Divine Realm, true peak-level powerhouses of the Sea Realm.
Once the location information was not erased, it was very likely that someone would use this as a breakthrough point to easily find the mysterious place.
Han Fei’s heart did a flip. If he forcibly used Time Tracing, he didn’t know if he could trace back to the past. Of course, he wouldn’t use Time Tracing now, because he didn’t know who cut off their memories. If it was a Monarch who did it, it was very likely that he would find him from time.
After a while, Han Fei plundered everyone’s resources, leaving only some Clean Stones for use in case of special circ.u.mstances.
Other resources, including G.o.dly weapons, various spiritual fruits and treasure pills, all fell into Han Fei’s hands.
A moment later, Luo Chen, who was controlled by Han Fei, met the leader of the Grand Development Sect in the Hundred Alliance City. When Yu Bo saw Luo Chen, he greeted him solemnly, “Brother Luo, what a coincidence. This street has just been cleared by us. It seems that your trip will be in vain.”
Luo Chen said indifferently, “That’s good. It’ll save us a lot of trouble.”
Yu Bo: “???”
Before Yu Bo realized what was going on, Luo Chen roared, “Kill!”
At that moment, Yu Bo was dumbfounded. Was Luo Chen out of his mind? Although after entering the Land of Inheritance, no one would continue to abide by the rules of the northern expedition army, they had gained nothing except some minerals. Did he want to s.n.a.t.c.h them?
However, as soon as Luo Chen gave the order, the 23 perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators took action one after another, taking down Yu Bo and the others.
Yu Bo roared, “Luo Chen, are you f*cking crazy? I have no money or treasures on me. Are you idiots?”
However, what greeted the aftershock was Luo Chen’s sword beam.
Because the disciples of the Grand Development Sect were scattered, they finally gathered thirteen people, five of whom were in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm, but they were instantly surrounded.
Yu Bo roared, “Fine, fine, I admit defeat, alright? I’ll give you the level-six minerals. Luo Chen, don’t touch my men.”
However, Luo Chen said indifferently, “We must remove the source of the trouble. Only the dead won’t speak or take revenge.”
“F*ck…”
With a roar, the three Dao Locks on Yu Bo’s body were broken. At this moment, he had no time to think. He had to run.
However, Yu Bo only had three Dao Locks, while Luo Chen had four. Therefore, in terms of combat power, Yu Bo was no match for Luo Chen. After only a few hundred rounds, six parts of his body had been pierced.
Yu Bo was horrified. He knew that he had to run. Luo Chen had gone crazy and bit whoever he caught. He roared, “Everyone, run! Survive first!”
With that, Yu Bo took out a golden page. As the golden light enveloped the page, Yu Bo disappeared.
Han Fei didn’t kill them all. He deliberately let a peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator of the Grand Development Sect escape, who ran away crazily.
Han Fei grinned. This was only the first incident. There would be a second and a third similar incident. These two factions were his enemies. How could he just kill them?
One, two, three…
On the way to An Shanbei, Han Fei controlled Luo Chen and more than 20 other people to kill from south to north.
However, every time Han Fei attacked, he would definitely let a few people go. Otherwise, no one would know the “heroic deeds” of Luo Chen and the others.
This situation lasted for half a day.
Because the Northern Expedition Army was scattered at a relatively central location at the beginning, they weren’t too separated from each other. But as time pa.s.sed, the Northern Expedition Army finally began to disperse.
However, in just half a day, many people had already reported the hunting behavior of the City of Scavengers.
For example, on a certain street, three perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators of the Ten Thousand Scale Race who led three peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators were fighting. After repeated fierce battles, they finally came to a relatively safe road.
On this road, they saw some relatively familiar forces.
Among these six people, some of them presided over the affairs of the City of Scavengers in the Infinite Mining Area all year round, so they were quite experienced.
He shouted, “Brother w.a.n.g, it’s me! Lin Ze, fortunately, I met you. Why don’t we join forces?”
However, when the guy called Brother w.a.n.g looked back, his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly picked up the big axe in his hand. “Everyone, attack and kill these b*stards.”
Lin Ze was stunned. I had a drink with you half a year ago. How did I become a b*stard in your eyes?
He wanted to join forces with this person, naturally because there were more than a dozen people here, and there were only six people on his side. But now, these more than a dozen people directly burned their blood and rushed over.
“F*ck! Brother w.a.n.g, it’s me! I, Lin Ze…”
Brother w.a.n.g said, “I know who you are! You son of a bi*ch, a lunatic from the City of Scavengers. You killed 17 of my men in one go. If you don’t die today, I’ll take off my head!”
Lin Ze was dumbfounded. “Brother w.a.n.g, is there a misunderstanding here? The City of Scavengers values peace the most. You know that.”
Brother w.a.n.g said, “I know your a.s.s! Kill!”
…
This was not the first time something like this had happened. The people in the City of Scavengers were speechless. What the f*ck did they mean? We didn’t do anything!
On the other side, Han Fei had found An Shanbei and the others.
Unlike the City of Scavengers, the people in the City of Origin all gathered together. After all, they had the fastest speed, and the cicada sounds they made were very recognizable.
Therefore, the City of Origin immediately gathered all its cultivators.
At this moment, An Shanbei was guarding the center. A total of 89 strong masters from the City of Origin roared at the same time. Although these sounds would also be absorbed by the ground, relatively speaking, their voices could still spread for a distance.
And An Shanbei was drawing a map. Yes, sound detection was no longer a skill, and drawing a map according to sound had become a specialty of City of Origin.
When Han Fei saw what An Shanbei was doing, he was a little troubled. Needless to say, there was definitely a group of strong masters in An Shanbei’s Origin Star. Even among the 89 people now, there were 41 perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators. If An Shanbei had the same number of perfected Star Transformation Realm masters in his Origin Star as Luo Chen, there were more than 70 perfected Star Transformation Realm masters in the City of Origin.
There were only 23 people under Han Fei’s control. So there were 24 people on Han Fei’s side including himself. It was not that they couldn’t fight, but they certainly couldn’t kill all of these people, or even half of them.
It would be extremely difficult for Han Fei to kill these people without being noticed.
After a while, Han Fei made a decision. This was not a trial, and he didn’t want to treat the other party as a whetstone, so there was no need to fight head-on.
As Han Fei issued an order in his heart, Han Fei’s 23 puppets scattered in all directions.
Even Han Fei himself showed his white-mist body and ran to a street that he had just pa.s.sed by. Perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators were rare in the northern expedition army, but there were level-six mineral puppets everywhere.
The reason why these forces were slow to explore was naturally that there were many level-six mineral puppets on each path. Therefore, most people were willing to explore slowly and steadily.
However, if they risked their lives to attract some level-six mineral puppets, it would be relatively easy.
On a certain street, Han Fei raised one hand and unleashed five sword beams. On this road, there were five level-six mineral puppet squads far apart from each other.
Each of the puppet squads drew a long saber and shattered Han Fei’s attacks.
Then, Han Fei stood on the road and hooked his finger at the team. “Come here!”
Even highly-intelligent creatures might not be able to stand this, let alone this puppet team that had no emotions.
For a moment, the team chased Han Fei.
For these mineral puppets, their original mission was to patrol and clean up the intruders. Now that they had discovered the intruders, they naturally chased after them.
On the other side, Luo Chen and the other 22 puppets also found some mineral puppets.
Unfortunately, eight of the 23 people died in just half an hour. This was because the puppets in the inner city were no longer scattered. They gathered and moved in squads.
If one wasn’t strong enough, he might be wiped out by puppet teams.
However, Han Fei didn’t think Luo Chen and the others could all attract mineral puppets. But if half of them succeeded, the City of Origin would be in big trouble.
…
An Shanbei was slowly transitioning to the center of the inner city of Puppet City. Most of the forces should still be fighting and exploring at the edge of the inner city. Whoever could reach the center of the inner city first would have the upper hand.
Level-six minerals were rare and precious for most people who partic.i.p.ated in the northern expedition. A puppet was as valuable as many level-six mine demons.
However, it was far from the expectation for a strong master like An Shanbei.
While drawing a map, An Shanbei directed everybody to move forward. He said, “Turn right ahead. The road is wide. This should be the right way. Once we find the right way, it will be much more convenient to pa.s.s through the center of the inner city…”
Suddenly, An Shanbei, who was painting calmly, changed his expression slightly. He immediately shouted, “Everyone, prepare to face the enemy.”
An Shanbei immediately put away the map. He felt that something was wrong. From more than a dozen directions and even some small roads, there were rapidly moving targets.
“Who is it?”
An Shanbei thought that the puppets wouldn’t walk around on these complicated paths, so it was very likely that they were from the northern expedition army. However, he didn’t want others to know that he could find the direction to the center of the inner city, so he still had to pretend.
When the other party saw the powerful combat power of 89 people on his side, they would definitely take the initiative to evacuate in case of conflict.
However, in the next moment, Luo Chen’s figure emerged from an alley.
An Shanbei’s pupils were constricted slightly. “Luo Chen?”
As for the relations.h.i.+p between the City of Scavengers and the City of Origin, they had never been allies, but had always been compet.i.tors. However, there had always been a delicate balance between the two cities. Especially the stronger they were, the less likely it was for them to kill each other. This was because this was their potential tacit understanding.
However, An Shanbei never expected that he would run into Luo Chen.
Luo Chen’s expression didn’t change when he saw An Shanbei. Instead, he launched an attack immediately.
An Shanbei: “???”
An Shanbei felt that Luo Chen was crazy. His head must be hit by a mine demon. Don’t you see the current situation? How dare you attack me with just these people?
However, in the next second, An Shanbei’s expression changed drastically. Behind Luo Chen, five level-six mineral puppets rushed out.
It wouldn’t have been a big deal if there were only five puppets, but a perfected Star Transformation Realm Ten Thousand Scale Race cultivator also rushed out from another direction, followed by five puppets.
“A*shole!”
An Shanbei understood. For some reason, Luo Chen had detected their location and then deliberately asked his perfected Star Transformation Realm subordinates to attract some puppet squads.
In this way, Luo Chen might only need ten or twenty people to attract hundreds of mineral puppets. Although there were many strong masters on his side, if there were too many mineral puppets, they would have to pay a huge price to escape.
An Shanbei shouted angrily, “Luo Chen, you’re crazy. Why did you attack my City of Origin?”
Luo Chen shouted coldly, “Because I want all the Clean Stones you have.”
“Clean Stones?”
An Shanbei was stunned for a moment. “Are you out of your mind? This is Puppet City. No ominous creatures can enter. Why do you want Clean Stones?”
Luo Chen said, “Cut the c.r.a.p. Let’s fight.”
As An Shanbei attacked, he shouted, “Everyone, prepare for the G.o.d’s Arrival Technique. Peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators, form an array. Perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators, break through the siege. Kill.”
Because Luo Chen and the other puppets controlled by Han Fei couldn’t attract all the mineral puppets over here at the same time, An Shanbei didn’t panic.
Although two more people brought two puppet squads, if they attacked quickly, they could still make a quick breakthrough.
However, Luo Chen and the other puppets controlled by Han Fei rushed towards the camp of the City of Origin without caring about their injuries. Facing the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators who had formed an array and the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators who had used the G.o.d’s Arrival Technique, this was tantamount to courting death.
Boom!
However, when a cultivator of the Ten Thousand Scale Race chose to blow himself up when he was charging at a formation of the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators and broke through the formation, An Shanbei was dumbfounded. Were they crazy to use the self-detonation of a perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator to disrupt their battle formation?
However, this move was too effective. Because of the s.p.a.ce constraint, including the mineral puppets, everyone’s speed was especially fast. Therefore, the moment the battle formation was broken through, many peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators who failed to stabilize themselves were blown up by the level-six mineral puppets one after another.
It couldn’t be helped. The combat power of the level-six mineral puppets was comparable to that of perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators, and a group of scattered peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators was the best hunting target.
In a blink of an eye, five members of the ten-person team had died.
It was the same on the other side. In the blink of an eye, ten peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators of the City of Origin had died. As for the two people from the City of Scavengers, they had detonated their bodies and souls. They really dared to sacrifice their lives to drag the people from the City of Origin down.
Although the cultivators of the City of Origin immediately intercepted the puppets, their speed had slowed down. In the meantime, three more people were blown up. Their flesh and souls were absorbed by the array patterns on the ground and could no longer condense.
At the same time, some perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators of the Ten Thousand Scale Race came out of the alleys in two directions, also bringing a complete puppet squad.
For a time, the street was full of fighting.
An Shanbei was entangled by Luo Chen, and nearly 30 perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators took action to snipe the perfected Star Transformation Realm Ten Thousand Scale Race cultivators that were charging suicidally and the mineral puppets.
As a result, An Shanbei’s plan to break out of the encirclement failed. Half of the people were held off at once.
If they couldn’t break out of the encirclement in time and more and more mineral puppets came, no matter how powerful they were, they couldn’t beat hundreds of mineral puppets!
“Chirp!”
For a moment, the strong masters in the City of Origin opened their Heavenly Cicada Wings and quickly counterattacked with their advantage in speed.
However, no matter how they counterattacked, the battlefield was only this big, and the Ten Thousand Scale Race puppets arrived with more mineral puppets.
In just a moment, the people in the City of Origin were all tied up. Some people could break out of the encirclement, but how could they be willing to leave when they saw their own people besieged?
Seeing this, Han Fei knew that he had succeeded. If An Shanbei chose to abandon some of his teammates and break out of the encirclement, Han Fei wouldn’t be able to do much to them. At most, he would have dragged twenty or thirty down with him.
However, the other party’s hesitation caused them to be besieged.
In the end, on Han Fei’s side, there were a total of 11 perfected Star Transformation Realm Ten Thousand Scale Race cultivators, attracting mineral puppet squads over. In the blink of an eye, there were as many as 55 mineral puppets here. Plus the 11 perfected Star Transformation Realm Ten Thousand Scale Race cultivators, it was equivalent to 66 perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators. The City of Origin immediately fell into a pa.s.sive position.
As for Han Fei who was in his black-mist body, although he didn’t appear, he could use the Void Stealing Technique.
For example, a perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivator of the City of Origin was fighting with a mineral puppet. However, suddenly, a soul suppressing G.o.dly weapon appeared. Before this person had the time to wonder who was attacking him with a soul technique, he saw a mineral puppet shoot out two beams of light from its eyes and pierce through this soul suppressing G.o.dly weapon. In the next moment, his consciousness was blurred. Then,he was blown up. His flesh, blood, and broken soul were absorbed by the array on the ground and he could no longer be revived.
At this moment, even if they used the G.o.d’s Arrival Technique, it wouldn’t help. The Void Stealing Technique was unreasonable. If they had a soul suppressing G.o.dly weapon, they might be able to hold on, but if they didn’t, they would almost be killed instantly.
After only half an hour of fierce fighting, 8 of the puppets controlled by Han Fei had been destroyed. However, 15 perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators and 21 peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators of the City of Origin had been destroyed.
As for the mineral puppets, 17 had died, but there were still as many as 38.
It couldn’t be helped. Facing this kind of battle that was almost in the perfected Star Transformation Realm, it was very difficult for peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators to survive.
In the blink of an eye, there were only 52 people left on the City of Origin’s side.
An Shanbei was fighting Luo Chen and couldn’t do anything at all because he found that Luo Chen had broken four Dao Locks. If he didn’t break his Dao Locks, he wouldn’t be a match for him at all.
Having no choice, An Shanbei finally couldn’t help but break his Dao Locks. But then he heard Luo Chen clamor, “An Shanbei, stop hiding. I know there are still many people in your Origin Star. Call them out! If you don’t, I’m afraid your men will all be killed.”
An Shanbei’s heart skipped a beat. He guessed that Luo Chen must have other trump cards. The other party was willing to sacrifice more than a dozen perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators to cause this siege. He must have other trump cards.
Why did the other party want him to release the people in his Origin Star? They definitely wanted to kill all his men.
However, these mineral puppets couldn’t kill so many people of his. In that case, since Luo Chen still wanted him to call for reinforcements, he clearly had some trump cards.
Immediately, An Shanbei made up his mind. “Everyone, split up and leave the battle. Let’s meet in the central area of the inner city.”
At this time, An Shanbei’s plan to lead people straight to the center had failed.
However, it was better than all the people he brought with him dying. Although they were about to be separated, as long as they didn’t die, they would go to the center of the inner city sooner or later.
As for the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators, An Shanbei could only give them up. This couldn’t be helped. If he didn’t give them up now, everyone would be held off. Once Luo Chen activated his trump card, the result might be that his team would be completely wiped out.
After all, he had been tricked by Luo Chen. He thought that Luo Chen must be confident of winning, so he chose to do this.
It was a pity that he never thought that Luo Chen would be so decisive and bold. Otherwise, he would have taken precautions long ago.
Accompanied by the sound of cicadas, figures appeared one after another and dispersed.
With the speed of the strong masters of the Heavenly Cicada family, it was indeed difficult for level-six mineral puppets to catch up.
After only dozens of seconds, everybody except the seven peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators who had been abandoned had run away.
And Han Fei was waiting for this moment. It was best to defeat his enemies one by one. What he wanted to take down was none other than An Shanbei. As long as An Shanbei was taken down, everyone in his Origin Star would be doomed. This was much more cost-effective than hunting down the fleeing cultivators of the City of Origin.
