Chapter 442: We are professionals in shakedowns
In mid-air, a few rank-9s had already started to fight for their lives, fighting vigorously.
The powerful energy fluctuations could be clearly felt even from hundreds of miles away.
……
Hope City.
Huang Jing had already returned to the city, his face full of worry!
They really started fighting!
However, at this moment, he didn"t know whether to be happy or worried.
This time, entering the catacombs, his mood was like a roller coaster, up and down. It was extremely exciting.
"Fang ping, can you get rid of the suspicion of being a human?
Between humans and the catacombs "forts, it did not matter. Even if Fang ping killed his way to the catacombs" forts, that was his ability.
Huang Jing was mainly worried that the demonic beasts would be dragged into this.
Powerful demonic beasts and humans rarely fought.
It was mainly because the demonic beasts, demonic plants, and hundred beasts forest didn"t have any contact with humans.
"If things go wrong this time, it might add to the number of demon beast enemies in Magic City catacombs.
He couldn"t say anything about this.
"If word gets out...I"m afraid it"ll bring some trouble to mcmau.
Unless there was a proper solution and the demonic beasts did not involve humans.
Just as Huang Jing was deeply worried, Tian Mu, who was beside him, suddenly said,"Old Huang, where"s Fang ping and Qin Fengqing?"
"He"s still training outside,"Huang Jing replied without changing his expression.
Tian Mu nodded, then said,"these two kids, don"t run around. The situation in the catacombs has changed suddenly. No one knows if a big war will break out soon. Sigh, these are troubled times!"
Tian Mu sighed. The white-haired old fan said solemnly,"Sky Gate City ... Something"s wrong!"
"What?"
"I can sense it. The Lord of Sky Gate City is currently fighting with two beast Kings ..."
"One against two!" Elder fan said in a low voice after a pause.
"How is that possible?"
Everyone exclaimed!
In many people"s eyes, the Lord of Sky Gate City was the weakest rank-9. He was a piece of trash. When he killed Wu kuishan back then, a rank-9 and a rank-7 could not even kill him.
Over the years, elder fan had fought with him many times, and he had almost always suppressed him.
If it wasn"t for the fact that he had some concerns and couldn"t kill him, he would have killed him long ago.
But now, elder fan was actually saying that the Lord of Sky Gate City was fighting one against two, and two beast Kings at that!
Demonic beast-type powerhouses were all extremely powerful.
In the same rank, a human expert only had a 50 - 50 chance of winning if they fought.
"On the other hand, human powerhouses are generally slightly stronger than the catacombs powerhouses.
"It was indeed one against two, and he wasn"t at a disadvantage!" Elder fan said in a deep voice.
At this moment, old fan turned his head and saw a figure flying over. It was a middle-aged man with a cold face. He said in a deep voice,"The aura of a divine weapon! The sky Gate City Lord uses a divine weapon!"
Seeing the person who had arrived, everyone except old fan quickly bowed slightly and said,""Guardian!"
The person was not Wu Chuan. It was Zhang Weiyu, The Guardian of the West.
Among the four great guardians of Sino nation, the eastern and Northern guardians were the top powerhouses who were ranked third or fourth in Sino nation. They were the top ten existences in the global rank-9 ranking list and were true top rank-9 figures!
The fifth was the Head of the Department of Investigation services, ranked 14th in the world.
In sixth place was Zhang Weiyu, The Guardian of the West. He was ranked 18th in the world.
Compared to Zhao xingwu, Zhang Weiyu"s ranking was much higher. Zhao xingwu was ranked 48th in the world. As for Wu Chuan, who was one of the four guardians, he was ranked 98th. There was no need to mention him.
Zhang Weiyu was ranked in the top 20 in the world. He was not weak. He was much stronger than old fan.
He looked at Sky Gate City in the distance. Zhang Weiyu"s expression was calm. This time, he was the only rank-9 from China who had come to help!
However, Zhang Weiyu was not afraid. He looked at it for a while and said,""It"s a magic weapon, and it"s not an ordinary magic weapon. It"s a ninth-grade magic weapon. This guy has hidden it well. Interesting ... I just want to know who taught him the method of condensing a magic weapon."
At this moment, everyone seemed to have thought of something and their expressions changed!
"Is it exclusive to him, or does the catacombs powerhouses already have them all?"
Zhang Weiyu said playfully,"don"t be nervous. It might not be our people who have a problem. Actually ... We have even taken the initiative to reveal the method of condensation over the years. I just want to know if only the seven Southern Territory knows about it or if the method is from the Forbidden Zone."
It would be meaningless if he was the only one who had it.
Once the restricted area takes the initiative to spread it to the outside world ... That"s what makes it interesting!"
As soon as he said this, old fan frowned and said,""You"re saying ..."
"That"s right. If it"s really done by the Forbidden Zone, then there are many more secrets behind it. Aren"t you afraid of the monster race"s resistance?"
As Zhang Weiyu spoke, he suddenly stopped. He smiled and said,""This is the internal strife of the seven Southern Territory. It has nothing to do with us. It"s not the time for a war yet!"
He had just finished speaking when Huang Jing, who was at the side, looked a little uneasy.
Zhang Weiyu glanced at him. Huang Jing immediately said,""I"m afraid that Hope City will be affected ..."
Zhang Weiyu said calmly,"don"t worry about these people. As long as the strongest Esper does not appear, they will not be able to cause any trouble!" "If it really affects Hope City, we"ll kill a few rank-9s and it"ll naturally be quiet!"
Zhang Weiyu was extremely overbearing, but everyone was not completely at ease.
The West Guardian was very strong, but that was a one-on-one fight. Right now, there were so many rank-9s. Even if he could kill them, how many could he kill?
As if he knew what they were thinking, Zhang Weiyu smiled and said,""Everyone, don"t panic. Minister Nan is already on his way here. I"ll join forces with Minister Nan. We won"t come out of the peak, so there"s no need to worry!"
The Head of the Department of Investigation services, Nan yunyue, the number one person below the peak in China!
She was also the only female rank-9 powerhouse in the top ten of China. She was slightly stronger than Zhang Weiyu.
With the two experts joining hands, even though the situation was tense, it was not to the point where they could not resist.
They weren"t as strong as the peak experts, but the two of them weren"t far from the peak. If they worked together, they could easily destroy a few cities.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that Minister Nan was coming.
Although there were only three rank-9s including Minister Nan, the two strongest rank-9s below the peak of Sino nation had arrived. There was no need to be too afraid.
He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Huang Jing suddenly thought of something and immediately said,"Guardian Zhang, does the sky Gate City Lord have a divine weapon?"
This was a big deal!
"Yes."
Huang Jing"s expression changed completely!
The sky Gate City Lord had a divine weapon!
And it was a ninth-grade magic weapon!
"Old Wu still wanted to hide his strength and break through to rank-9 to kill the other party ...
Fortunately, the other party had exposed himself in advance. Otherwise, Wu kuishan would have gone with the intention of killing the other party. Without such preparation, he might have lost his life.
No matter how weak the sky Gate City Lord was, he had been a rank-9 for many years.
Moreover, was he really weak?
Could the other party have been hiding his strength?
Or perhaps he just didn"t put in any effort?
Now that a rank-9 magic weapon had been revealed, Huang Jing realized that some things were really beyond his imagination.
This time, if Fang ping had not accidentally caused an internal conflict between the two sides, mcmau might have suffered a huge loss!
At this moment, Huang Jing no longer thought about whether Fang ping would cause a war between humans and demonic beasts.
This matter was quite troublesome.
Even if the demonic beasts found out that it was the humans, the sky Gate City Lord had created a divine weapon. This matter would be explained, and both sides would be entangled.
At this time, the monster might not care about the life and death of a rank-8 monster.
"Compared to this, what"s more important is that the catacombs powerhouses are condensing divine weapons.
Seven Southern Territory alone had 13 powerhouses who were city Lords. Each of them had condensed a rank-9 divine weapon, which meant that they had to kill at least 13 rank-9 monster plants and monster beasts.
Compared to that, what was killing a rank-8 monster to the mischief of humans?
The king of the forbidden Lands was more concerned about his life!
They were rank-9!
If there was one, there would be two. Today, they sneakily killed a rank-9. Who knew if it would be them next time?
"This kid ... Has really caused a huge commotion this time ..."
Huang Jing muttered in his heart. At the moment, this matter seemed to be developing in a good direction.
Forcing the Lord of Sky Gate City to expose the divine weapon would not only prevent Wu kuishan from making a mistake, but it would also cause internal strife in the catacombs. This was a good thing.
Now, the only thing he was worried about was whether Fang ping could return alive.
With Sky Gate City in such a state, he would lose his life if he was not careful.
……
Sky Gate City.
At this moment, the two sides were really in a fight!
The two great beast Kings were engaged in a life-and-death battle. The Lord of Sky Gate city"s eyes were cold and sharp as he resisted with all his might!
The monster Tree did not partic.i.p.ate in the battle, nor did it continue to look for Fang ping. Instead, it was guarding the city.
"The three rank-9s are fighting in a chaotic battle without a care for anything else. If this goes on, the city will be destroyed!
There were millions of people here. Compared to the wood King, this was the lair of the monster wood. These people were its people.
The branches and roots of the demonic tree spread out, forming a barrier of heaven and earth energy in the direction of the inner city. The demonic tree itself also swayed in the air, preventing the shockwaves from invading the inner city.
It would be fine if the outer city was destroyed, but if the inner city was destroyed, monster Wood city"s essence would be completely lost.
At this point, the referee was no longer worried about the two sides making peace.
Ever since the wood King"s divine weapon appeared, Yi was both afraid and relieved.
At this time, no matter how much the wood King tormented the hundred beasts forest, the hundred beasts forest would not let this matter rest. The other forbidden areas would not let this matter rest either!
While the powerhouses were fighting, the referee slowly retreated.
The next moment, Yi disappeared from where he was.
A moment later, Jiao silently appeared on the ground in another direction of monster Wood City.
The few martial artists who saw it were all terrified. Before they could say anything, they were killed by the Chi"s mental energy and turned into mud!
The wood King was fighting a great battle, silly wood was defending the city, and the other rank-7 and 8 were all defending outside.
It was an eighth stage venerable, so what did it have to fear?
The spring of life was in the dumb Wood"s body, so it wasn"t easy to get it, but the life ore ... The dumb wood wouldn"t be able to take it away, right?
Let"s go and devour these ores first!
At this point, even if the two sides sat down and talked peace after the incident, it would not make him spit out the forbidden land even if it swallowed it.
……
Woos.h.!.+ They entered the city from another direction.
Fang ping, on the other hand, did not dare to move. He carefully hid in the tunnel.
He actually wanted to mine some ores, but at this moment, there were still a large number of martial artists patrolling the mine vein. Even though the battle outside was earth-shattering, these experts did not leave.
Especially after the monster Tree left, there was still a rank-7 powerhouse guarding the place.
This was the foundation of monster Wood City, and it would not be abandoned unless it was absolutely necessary.
Fang ping did not dare to show himself, mainly because he was afraid that once they fought, it would cause a big commotion and attract attention.
"The rank-9 powerhouses outside might stop fighting once they notice that a war has broken out here.
It was not easy for both sides to start a war. At this time, Fang ping could not lose the big picture for the small. The energy mine was indeed a small matter at this moment. The death of a few rank-9s in battle was a big deal!
Just as Fang ping was carefully hiding, a slight vibration suddenly came from a distance.
A moment later, Fang Ping"s face was filled with shock!
This guy ... Why was he here?
Wasn"t it fighting the people of Sky Gate City outside the city?
Why!
Was this demonic beast even a demonic beast?
"It incited a war between two places. In the end, it barged into the Kuangqu leisurely. The rank-9s outside are still fighting!
Fang ping was stunned to the extreme. In the distant mine tunnel, Jiao did not maintain its golden body, nor did it flash with golden light. Its gray outer armor made Jiao less domineering and more wretched.
This fellow"s big head looked around. No matter if it saw people or energy stones, it did not say anything and just swallowed them.
After it was done, it was still a little disgusted. At first, it swallowed people directly, but later, it simply stopped swallowing people and swallowed energy instead.
The people it swallowed were spat out by it. It obviously felt that these people were too dirty or did not taste good.
After swallowing for a while, Richard continued to walk around the tunnel. It had not found the core Kuangqu.
However, sensing energy was also a demonic beast"s specialty. It had already detected the location of the core Kuangqu area and was walking towards it.
As they were walking, Richard suddenly turned around.
In the tunnel, Fang ping had hidden himself well!
Although he had worked with Jiao a few times and this big guy did not eat him, Fang ping did not think that the human and demon had any tacit understanding. Who knew if he would be swallowed by it in one bite the next moment?
It was best not to encounter them if possible.
The Jiao looked back suspiciously, but it didn"t stay any longer. Soon, it walked towards another tunnel with light steps.
Fang ping waited for it to walk for a while before coming out. His face revealed a look of struggle. Then, he gritted his teeth and went himself!
This big guy might be able to be his hatchet man and take the blame for him!
The core Kuangqu would definitely have a large number of energy stones, and they would all be high-ranked!
There might even be one with one hundred percent purity.
If they could really dig up some, they would really make a lot of money.
Fang ping followed behind Jiao carefully. From time to time, he could feel a faint vibration coming from the front. Jiao was about to kill him.
This fellow was a rank-8 beast. Although it had been injured several times, it had just swallowed a rank-8 beast and was not lacking in imperishable substances. Although it looked miserable on the outside, its injuries were almost fully recovered.
At this moment, the experts were all outside, and the demonic wood had left its roots. They didn"t have the time to care about it.
In the Kuangqu, this guy was almost invincible.
Tremors could be felt from time to time.
Fang ping saw many corpses along the way. He also saw many weapons.
Chi didn"t devour these weapons. It didn"t think much of them, and it didn"t have the habit of eating metal.
It did not care, but Fang ping did not care. The energy stones had all been devoured by that fellow. It did not even let go of the lower-ranked ones. Wherever Fang ping walked past, the energy in the mine tunnels was clean. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d did not leave him any.
Fang ping put away the weapons, armors, and other miscellaneous items, such as medals.
These things did not take up much s.p.a.ce.
When he returned to mcmau, it would be good to set up an exhibition hall. He would collect a large number of middle-ranked martial artist medals. Fang ping had collected quite a lot recently, at least a hundred of them!
He, a rank-5, had killed hundreds of middle-ranked martial artists. If word got out, this would be a great achievement.
Even in the military, if he turned in the medals he had acc.u.mulated as military merits, he might be able to reach the rank of general.
……
Fang ping was following Jiao to the core Kuangqu. Outside, a few rank-9s were fighting.
Even further outside, outside Sky Gate City.
Jiao"s forest.
Qin Fengqing was digging madly in the area that Huang Jing had destroyed earlier. He mumbled,""It can"t be. How can a rank-8 monster not have any treasures? no matter how poor it is, shouldn"t it leave some?"
Yes, he was in the hometown of the Gu Shackler!
Just a few dozen miles in front of him, three rank-9s were fighting. The aftershock was almost reaching this side.
However, Qin Fengqing did not mind. He was so weak that the other party would not take him seriously.
He was very concerned about the demonic Beast"s Lair. He had waited for Jiao to leave with great difficulty. If he couldn"t go to Sky Gate City, he would really be courting death, but Jiao w.a.n.g Lin could come.
In the end, they dug for a long time and found nothing.
"It shouldn"t be!"
"Fang ping and old Huang dug it out?"
"No, they didn"t dig ..."
Qin Fengqing frowned. Was there such a poor rank-8 demonic beast?
He didn"t believe it!
At the thought of this, Qin Fengqing continued to dig madly. If he did not dig now, he would not have another chance in the future.
Very quickly, Qin Fengqing"s expression brightened. He grabbed a metal weapon and muttered,"As expected! I knew it!"
Although the weapon was not very good and was only made of C-grade alloy, it was better than nothing.
When a Jiao killed someone, it would not usually swallow these things. It would simply dig a hole and bury the corpse along with the miscellaneous items.
Qin Fengqing was suddenly filled with motivation. He was still mumbling,""Raiding two rank-8s "lairs in one day, who else but me?"
However, when he thought of Fang ping, Qin Fengqing"s expression turned ugly. That guy had gone to raid the rank-9"s old nest!
"Just you wait, I"ll raid the rank-9"s lair sooner or later!"
Qin Fengqing had set a small goal for himself. Speaking of which ... Every time he followed Fang ping into the catacombs, he would always have an unexpected gain. Should he stay in mcmau or not?
