Chapter 279: Killing Is Also A Mercy
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
With a command, Feng Lin’s team instantly acted, moving from their pa.s.sive state.
They had camped here for a total of five days and hadn’t moved at all. It had been really draining for their patience.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they were cultivators and could adjust the activities of their bodies, they wouldn’t be able to take it.
“Wajitulachila…” A roar of rage rang out.
Those aboriginals of the Zheng Clan were all equipped with primitive armor. The spears they used were made from spirit crystal, and they rushed out like an army.
Outside the cave, the sounds of slaughtering echoed ceaselessly.
“Are they the other exam candidates?” Yana asked.
Feng Lin closed his eyes and sent out his spirit force. A moment later, he nodded. “The paladin team is here.”
Yana and the others fell silent as their expressions turned extremely heavy.
The paladin team came here so fast. Now the time remaining for them wasn’t a lot anymore. If they didn’t make good use of it, they would truly not have a chance.
They knew that Feng Lin hadn’t told them the whole truth.
Since their last meeting three days ago, the paladin team had undergone a huge transformation. Their equipment was all new, so dazzling that they were eye-piercing.
If they had been like n.o.bles back then, they were like emperors now.
This group of people was extremely ruthless. The person in the lead wielded a crystal trident. He waved it about, manifesting waves to fall from the top of the mountain, rus.h.i.+ng into the cave, and turning this place into an ocean.
Another person wielded a clay pot that appeared old and tattered. However, black flames flowed out from it, causing the area around it to burn, turning the Zheng Clan’s members into charred meat.
…
All of the weapons were level 5 equipment forged on this planet. One had to use some kind of primitive totem shamanic art to control the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. The power of this equipment was extremely large, capable of altering terrains.
Those Zheng Clan’s members didn’t rush over, but they were still instantly engulfed by the energy torrent.
The lair trembled as the millions of aboriginals rushed out like the tides, creating a huge din.
“This is our chance. The paladin team is too arrogant. They think that just because their cultivation bases are high and that they have excellent equipment, they can directly rush into the lair and clash with the Zheng Clan head-on. When this lair empties out, it will be our opportunity,” said Feng Lin.
“What are we waiting for then?” asked Aris hurriedly.
“No rush.” Now that things came to this, Feng Lin wasn’t anxious at all. He shook his head. “It isn’t going to be easy to deal with the paladin team. We should wait until these aboriginal members rush out. When the time comes, when dog bites dog, we will sever their path of retreat. By doing so, they can only go all out and fight the paladin for us. At that time, the lair would be empty. It will be a chance for us to act!”
Since the captain had already spoken, Yana and the others could only trust his judgment and calm their anxiety down.
And as combat outside grew increasingly intense, over a thousand aboriginal members of the Zheng Clan had already rushed out.
Feng Lin’s spiritual perception showed him that the outside of the lair had already become a pot of mixed porridge. The situation was extremely chaotic.
The paladin team was as expected of a team with all grand cultivators. Although they were only five people, they were like an immovable steel wall, easily slaughtering the Zheng Clan’s members as they moved step by step toward the lair.
ROAR~
A roar of anger suddenly rang out.
The terrifying existence inside the depths of the lair was finally awake. It roared as though it was transmitting some orders.
Even the aboriginal elites weren’t able to sit still. They finally acted, about half of them rushed out to provide reinforcements for their comrades.
“Now is the time.” Upon seeing this, Feng Lin finally gave the order to act. He brandished his metal cudgel and aimed at the ceiling, launching heavy blows.
A few moments later, the ceiling trembled as rocks fell down, piling up at the entrance.
Yana and the others used their own techniques as well, resulting in the entrance being blocked completely.
“d.a.m.nable humans! You all actually had help from the inside!” The Zheng Clan’s members outside howled wrathfully in their language.
The paladin team was stunned when they saw this. A moment later, their expressions changed drastically. “Not good, there must already be another team hiding inside. Let’s kill them quickly, we cannot allow others to steal what we want. They are truly courting death!”
Those Zheng Clan’s members howled and rushed forward. The five members of the paladin team could no longer maintain their earlier relaxed att.i.tudes. Their bodies glowed with holy light as they went all out, no longer holding back.
“Jiwaijiwawawa…”
Upon seeing five strange members of the same clan appearing and severing their clan member’s path of retreat, these elites started mumbling as they rushed forward.
“Kill them all!” said Feng Lin coldly.
When the map is unrolled, the dagger is revealed!
There was no need for them to hide anymore.
The other team members tore apart their disguise and rushed towards the Zheng Clan’s elites.
“Humans…” The elites shrieked in a shrill voice.
“War G.o.d Giant Statue!”
Aris’s body expanded. Yana stood on the giant statue’s shoulder as the two sisters joined the fight together.
The giant statue’s fists blasted out, sending the two Zheng Clan’s elites before them flying.
Mind Control!
Ding, ding, ding.
The golden scepter waved about. Yana was clad in golden armor and she transformed into a G.o.ddess, controlling the psyche of her targets.
A moment later, the gazes of three Zheng Clan’s elites turned vacant and they actually started to turn on their comrades.
For a time, the situation here was also extremely chaotic.
“You guys go first. Let us handle the situation here!” said Yana.
Feng Lin and the other two didn’t hesitate, they took the chance to rush into the lair’s depths.
The two sisters grew up together and their cooperation was simply perfect like one ent.i.ty.
Aris was proficient in head-on power attacks while Yana was more of the control-type, using her mental force to her advantage, hypnotizing other living creatures.
One was the main attacker while the other played the supporting role. Their combat prowess doubled, allowing them to withstand the rush of the Zheng Clan’s elites.
This was an extremely hard to come by opportunity. Indecisiveness would only spoil their plans.
Feng Lin, Yi, and Su Li bypa.s.sed the obstruction of the Zheng Clan’s elites and entered the depths of the lair. A stretch of red light then appeared in their visions.
Numerous giant crystal pillars hung from the ceiling like stalact.i.tes. They shone with a brilliant red light and glimmered incessantly.
Below was a stretch of red lake. The water here was as red as blood and had a b.l.o.o.d.y smell to it.
Hua, hua, hua~
“d.a.m.nable humans, how dare you all barge into this king’s domain? You all must be courting death!” A hoa.r.s.e and monstrous roar echoed. The lake’s waters were split from the middle as numerous strange-looking silhouettes climbed out from the lake.
The males were as malevolent as ghosts while the females were as charming and beautiful as demons.
(Why is the Zheng Clan so similar to the asura clan in the legends? Even the environment where they stay in is extremely similar.)
A thought flashed through Feng Lin’s mind, but he didn’t have time to ponder any deeper.
“Don’t show mercy, kill all of these aboriginals!” He commanded.
Bang!
A burst of power erupted out.
Su Li hoisted a gigantic silver gun despite his skinny frame. The quantum rays congregated into a ray bullet that shot out, causing a large number of Zheng Clan’s members to disintegrate.
Golden Crow Descent!
Yi was wearing the micro mecha. He transformed into the most elite interstellar warrior and fired his arrows. A firebird directly manifested and swooped down from the sky before exploding, causing a large number of their enemies to be burned.
Deathray Grenade!
A prismatic grenade fell into the blood lake and exploded. Grey radiation energy instantly spread out.
The Zheng Clan’s members couldn’t escape in time. They could only scream in pain as their faces melted like ice and lie helplessly on the ground as their insides were fried.
Although Feng Lin had no hatred with these aboriginals, he understood the logic of being kind to your enemies meant being cruel to yourself.
Killing was also a type of mercy!
Right at the start, Feng Lin already used his ultimate killing move, crus.h.i.+ng these aboriginals to the point where they couldn’t even fight back. His team forcefully opened up a path as they rushed into the depths of the blood lake.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.
A powerful heartbeat like thunder rang out as the aura permeating the area grew increasingly terrifying.
Hua~
The waters parted once more as a throne made from blood-red crystals rose. A gigantic and muscular figure could be seen seated on it, shrouded in darkness. Only a pair of eyes filled with balefulness could be seen clearly, staring down at Feng Lin and his team members.
