Chapter 817: The New Owner of the Xin Ting Sword
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chair Mountain in the Changbai Mountains was once a very popular place among overseas Metahumans. Many operation squads often rested there. There were many advantageous places where they could lie in ambush and wait for the Heavenly Network operation squads.
Behind them was the Chair Mountain, and in front of them was a barrier that could defend them. There was no place more suitable than this.
After the overseas operation squads rested, they could continue traveling deeper into the mountains. Gradually, this became a base that was easy for the large overseas organizations to progress to.
Typically, when night fell, many overseas operation squads would gather here. However, the person in charge of guarding the Chair Mountain felt that something was strange tonight. The sky had already started to darken, but no one had returned to rest.
This was unusual. It was as if something strange had happened.
Suddenly, everyone in the campsite heard the thunderous sound of footsteps. Everyone looked at one another helplessly. What was happening? Why did it sound like ten thousand horses were galloping here? Were there horses in the forest?
There was a sudden scream from the back of the campsite. Everyone turned around and to their shock, they saw a crowd of bronze armored soldiers running down the slope. The bronze armor helped to cus.h.i.+on the impact of falling from such a height. Thus, even the mountain ridges that were impossible for Pract.i.tioners to cross were not an obstacle to them.
The flood of bronze was about to enter the campsite. Some bronze armored soldiers approached the campsite from the barrier and started to kill!
One of the Cla.s.s B’s from the Phoenix Society looked very serious. He opened his palm and pointed it to the mountain ridges. Suddenly, the temperature in the mountain ridges dropped!
Snow and ice started to cover the mountain ridges. The bronze armored soldier felt very cold. It was as if their blood was about to freeze. They started to slow down.
At this critical moment, Chen Zuan suddenly opened his mouth and breathed in. The air in the campsite seemed to have been sucked away by Chen Zuan. The Cla.s.s B Metahuman from the Phoenix Society suddenly realized that… his elemental powers had been sucked away by Chen Zuan!
What was this ability? Was he able to eat his elemental powers?!
Chen Zuan was also pleasantly surprised. In the past, he could only use this ability to eat. He did not think that his idea would allow him to suck all of the opponent’s elemental powers.
There did not seem to be any side effects. He just felt a little cold… the icy cold element gathered in his stomach and started to churn. But because Chen Zuan had drunk too much magical liquid back then, his stomach had become very strong since he had to digest the magical liquid!
Chen Zuan was happy because he could do more than just eat!
Or… after Chen Zuan had advanced to Cla.s.s B, his abilities had finally improved!
Sorrowful wails could be heard from the campsite. Some of the Metahumans knew that they could not escape the bronze armored soldiers. There was no way out for them. But the bronze armored soldiers were not rash. Six soldiers formed one team and attacked. No matter which direction the attack came from, they would have to face three people. No matter which direction they fled to, they would be met with a formation.
Back then, when the Heavenly Network obtained the bronze armor, they started to research on how to make full use of the armor. On one hand, they had to train the commanders to carry out group attacks. On the other hand, they had to become stronger to support the bronze armor. The Heavenly Network had now fulfilled both of these criteria!
The originally large battlefield had been narrowed down into a small battlefield. The formations were like millstones that pressed against one another and turned the overseas Metahumans into dust!
The expert from the Phoenix Society saw that the situation could no longer be salvaged and tried to retreat. His body was surrounded by a white fog. All the bronze armored soldiers who tried to approach him were slowed down due to the low temperatures. Those who were closest to him could feel frostbite developing on their bodies.
Ordinary Cla.s.s B Metahumans were not so strong. This was a true expert sent by the Phoenix Society to supervise military operations!
Some overseas Metahumans wanted to follow him. But no one expected that the expert from the Phoenix Society was not planning to take anyone with him. Some people shouted, “Please save us!”
The ice type Metahuman from the Phoenix Society turned around and kicked the Metahuman. “Stay here and fight. Who allowed you to leave?”
Chen Zuan led the bronze armored soldiers. But he realized that his new ability was no match for the top expert in the Phoenix Society.
The expert tried to break away and headed north. But when Chen Zuan tried to stop him, a large tree was suddenly chopped and collapsed!
The sword was soul-stirring. The invisible blade had cleanly chopped the tree in half. Someone was waiting in ambush on the tree!
Chen Zuan was shocked. He had seen this sword before. But Heavenly King Nie could no longer attack, right? Since when was he hiding in the tree? Chen Zuan had not sensed him.
Even the expert from the Phoenix Society had not sensed him.
When the sword appeared, the expert from the Phoenix Society tried to make an ice wall to protect himself. But the ice wall was too weak, or the sword was too strong.
Cao Qingci’s slender figure descended from the sky. The sound of the ice wall breaking sounded like a screen shattering.
The sword seemed unstoppable once it took action.
But to Chen Zuan’s surprise, the sword in Cao Qingci’s hands was the Xin Ting sword!
After Cao Qingci had disappeared from Luo City, no one knew where she had gone. Chen Zuan had tried to call her, but to no avail. Even when he asked the other Pract.i.tioners in the Heavenly Network, no one knew where she had gone. But now, she had appeared with the Xin Ting sword. She used the sword and attacked the expert from the Phoenix Society!
Cao Qingci silently looked at the expert from the Phoenix Society as he lay in a puddle of blood. She waited until his eyes were closed before she turned away. She took away his invisible storage equipment and ran into the forest.
For some reason, Chen Zuan felt that she was one with the forest. She was truly the best a.s.sa.s.sin!
When the flood of bronze saw this, they were extremely touched. They did not dare to talk to Cao Qingci, but the attractive sight of her killing the expert had been etched in their hearts.
She held the Xin Ting sword in her hands. She seemed as mighty as Heavenly King Nie. It was hard to imagine that a girl would have this kind of aura.
Everyone understood that not only was the flood of bronze fighting, many others were also doing their best in other places. They were doing this all for the same principle… all those who enter our borders will die!
