Chapter 428: Seeking One's Own Death

"Is it really okay for us to set off like this?" Aiweier looked at Lingyun and the other two, who had no equipment on them at all, her tone filled with doubt. "Don't we need to prepare some weapons or armor or something?"

"It's no problem at all!" Chen Jing smiled and waved her hand.

Although the clothes she and Su Wanyue were wearing looked ordinary, they were actually Magic Treasures personally refined by Lingyun; even a Golden Core level expert would have to pay a significant price to break through the defenses of their clothing. As for weapons, the two of them had just mastered the method of Refining Qi into Silk, and these silk threads were the most handy weapons they currently had. Moreover, they both had spatial equipment on them, and their weapons were stored there.

"Aren't you also without equipment?" Su Wanyue said to Aiweier.

"When I was teleported out by the Space Scroll, I was at home making Space Scrolls. Who would be fully armed while at home!" Aiweier said with a bitter smile. "If I hadn't been without equipment, how could those disgusting guys have done anything to me!"

"By the way, take this!" Lingyun took a small bracelet out of the Cloud Realm and handed it to Aiweier.

"This is... a High-level Disguise Prop?" Aiweier looked at the bracelet in her hand, a trace of surprise appearing on her face. "I didn't expect you to have such a good thing on you!"

"After all, you are a Spirit, and we have to cross more than half of the Continent on this journey. More than two-thirds of the distance is Human territory; in your current appearance, it's easy to attract trouble!" Lingyun spread his hands and said. "To be honest, I'm really curious, what went wrong with your Space Scroll that made you travel across more than half of the Continent!"

"I want to know why myself, but that scroll self-destructed after bringing me to this place, and I don't know what went wrong either!" Aiweier put the bracelet on her wrist and said with a helpless expression.

After putting on the bracelet, a silver light shimmered over Aiweier's body. After the silver light faded, what appeared before Lingyun and the others was a delicate woman. Although her face was exactly the same as Aiweier's before, her emerald green hair had turned into a brilliant silver, her pointed ears had retracted, and the aura of harmony with nature that had been on her body had also vanished.

Feeling the changes in herself, a trace of surprise appeared on Aiweier's face: "I really underestimated you. I didn't expect this disguise prop of yours to be so powerful that it could even hide the unique aura of a Spirit!"

"It's just a little trinket, no need to be so surprised!" Lingyun waved his hand and said. "Let's go!"

After finishing the disguise, Lingyun's group walked out of the cave and headed in the direction Lingyun had previously scouted. As long as they followed this direction, they would be able to leave this forest in two or three days and reach the supply town on the outskirts of the forest.

"Stop!"

Just as the four of them were moving through the dense forest, a group of people suddenly emerged from the woods and blocked their path.

"Who are you?" Seeing the people who had suddenly appeared, Chen Jing and the others all assumed a defensive posture.

"Be careful, they are from a Slave Hunting Team!" Aiweier moved closer to Lingyun and whispered a reminder in an extremely low voice.

"Mm, I know!" Lingyun narrowed his eyes slightly. In his perception, the people blocking them all had waves of Evil Energy churning on them; they were clearly not kind-hearted people.

"Boss, I've spotted three top-tier ones!" The gaze of the man with a scar fell upon Chen Jing and the others, his eyes lighting up.

The tall man looked Chen Jing and the other two women up and down, a flash of amazement also crossing his eyes. Although these three women were not as beautiful as the Spirit they had been chasing earlier, they were not inferior in other aspects. If they could send these three to the slave market, they would definitely be able to sell them for a large sum of money.

Most importantly, looking at the equipment on them, it didn't have any magical luster at all; it was clearly mass-produced goods. As a Slave Hunting Team, the most important thing was having a sharp eye. If they accidentally captured someone they couldn't afford to offend while catching slaves, they would be finished. Judging by the equipment on Lingyun and his group, they were clearly not from any major family. There was no need to worry about any forces behind them coming to cause trouble if they captured such people as slaves. Moreover, the aura on them was not strong, being on par with the ordinary members of their team, which meant they were not experts, and there was no need to worry about offending any powerful figures.

"Kill that man for me, and capture all the women!" After sizing up the four of them, the tall man spoke slowly.

He clearly hadn't done this kind of thing for the first time; he looked quite experienced.

"You are truly seeking your own death!" Chen Jing was infuriated by the tall man's gaze, which was like looking at merchandise, and fluorescent light began to shimmer at her fingertips.

"Attack!"

The tall man couldn't even be bothered to respond to Chen Jing, just coldly waving his hand. The people behind him each drew their blades and swords and charged toward Chen Jing and the others.

"Lingyun, take care of Aiweier!" Knowing that Aiweier currently had no combat ability, Chen Jing said this to Lingyun, and then her figure instantly transformed into a phantom as she charged toward the Slave Hunting Team.

"Kill!" A coldness surged onto Su Wanyue's face. A longbow appeared in her hand, and a Flame Arrow slowly took shape on the drawn bowstring.

"Heh, just two little girls!" A burly man carrying a large axe revealed a ferocious grin, raising the axe in his hand to hack at Chen Jing.

He clearly still remembered what the tall man had said, so the axe in his hand was not aimed at Chen Jing's vital points. Chen Jing tilted her body slightly, easily dodging the burly man's axe, while a glimmer flashed across her fingertips and grazed the burly man's throat. The burly man only felt a chill in his throat, after which he lost all his strength and slowly collapsed to the ground.

Killing a Slave Hunting Team member in one Second, Chen Jing's expression remained unchanged. As her figure blurred, she reached out both hands and actually caught the weapons of two Slave Hunting Team members with her bare hands. In the instant those members were stunned by having their weapons caught, two deadly Rockets sped over and instantly pierced through their chests.

Chen Jing and Su Wanyue cooperated in perfect harmony. In the blink of an eye, six or seven Slave Hunting Team members had died at their hands, and all were killed in one strike, with no chance of rescue.

"How is this possible?" Watching this scene, the tall man's expression couldn't help but change slightly. Clearly, when he looked at them before, the aura of the two women was only on par with the ordinary members among them, but what was the situation now where they were slaughtering his team like tigers entering a flock of sheep?

"Boss, the situation is a bit off! These two little girls seem a bit wicked!" The man with a scar said to the tall man.

"You go, take them down!" The tall man said to the man with a scar.

"Alright!" A ferocious smile appeared on the face of the man with a scar as he drew the broadsword from his back and charged into the battlefield.
