An 88th-level top-tier powerhouse with a unique weapon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How are we supposed to kill him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Zhao Tianling’s low shout, Shanben Jianyi still smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not answer directly, but asked instead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman Zhao, I have a question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From my observations, your guild’s high-level fighters are formidable—you and your three vice-chairmen are all above level 80.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet why are all your hundreds of subordinates stuck between levels 40 and 45? Not a single one at level 50 or 60?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a gap is a grave taboo in any ordinary guild.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhao Tianling snorted coldly, a flash of ruthlessness and disdain in his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Shanben, this is Tianbei City—a lawless borderland. Here, loyalty is the cheapest thing of all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Train your subordinates too strong, and their first act will be to kill their boss and take his place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know how hard leveling up becomes at higher levels.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So to expand power quickly, we give new recruits a free ‘Rage Serum.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling paused, his voice sinister:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It drains their life potential, letting them surge to level 40 in moments, becoming immediate combat assets for our operations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the cost is permanent lock at level 45.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For me, I don’t need obedient elites—I need packs of mad dogs that follow orders without question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shanben Jianyi listened, a flicker of admiration in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see. Trading potential for immediate combat power—Chairman Zhao, you truly are a man of great ambition. Ruthless indeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Shanben pulled out a scroll emitting a faint black glow: “This is the [Dark Veil Barrier Scroll], a one-time-use skill scroll.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once activated, it forms a barrier spanning five kilometers. Only a level 90+ warrior wielding a unique weapon could break it from outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And no one inside can escape either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling’s pupils contracted as he stared at the scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shanben Jianyi’s lips curled slightly as he spoke slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Wenchang is indeed strong—his ‘Dragon Fist’ reputation echoes across the land.

Add your three vice-chairmen—I recall they’re all above level 80, correct?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The moment Lin Mo steps out, I’ll activate the barrier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t need to kill Xu Wenchang—just hold him off. For five level-80+ warriors, that shouldn’t be difficult, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling’s eyelid twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hold him off?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Easy to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that level, every rank gap is an abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Xu Wenchang wields a unique weapon—his power is monstrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew he had no retreat left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chaos Scroll had been used, assassins dispatched, the grudge now tied in an unbreakable knot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shanben Jianyi ignored Zhao Tianling’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed to the dark mass of people nearby:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we can hold Xu Wenchang, your four hundred men will deal with Lin Mo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Four-man squads couldn’t kill him—then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about four hundred?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shanben smiled warmly at Zhao Tianling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling froze. “Then he… will surely die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, Chairman Zhao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shanben Jianyi clapped his hands, smiling—the smile chilling under the gloomy sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderfire Temple, Sacrificial Altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengqing sat listlessly on the stone steps, drawing circles in the dirt with a twig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh… why are these people so slow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve drawn five hundred circles already—are they turtles? Or did they get lost on the way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengqing tossed the twig aside, clearly impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao sat beside her, fiddling with her long spear, not looking up as she coldly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the rush?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think of it as a break—rest and recover.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you mess up when the fighting starts, I’ll throw you into the lava pool to make up the numbers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengqing shrank back, muttering softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’d really do that… I’m your own sister…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Lingxuan smiled gently. “Mengqing, don’t rush. Lin Mo said he’d come—he will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lin Mo sat quietly atop a broken stone pillar, eyes closed, meditating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The 'Earth Shield' spell jolted: Master!
