Chapter 115: Once They're All Killed, It's Naturally Safe

Above the wasteland, a dark curtain blots out the sky.

That pitch-black barrier, like an overturned giant bowl, completely seals off the heavens and earth within a five-kilometer radius.

Wild winds howl, and an aura of grim death permeates the air.

Facing a pincer attack by five experts above level 80, Xu Wenchang showed not the slightest panic.

He stood there quietly, his hands hanging naturally at his sides.

Dark golden 【Heaven-Shaking Dragon God Gauntlets】 materialized over his fists, as if two slumbering giant dragons were awakening.

"Xu Wenchang! Prepare to die!"

A burly vice-president roared and struck first.

The massive axe in his hand swung down toward Xu Wenchang's head.

The other two vice-presidents followed closely behind.

One on the left, one on the right, they each unleashed their strongest killing moves, attempting to seal off all of Xu Wenchang's escape routes.

Although they knew the name "Dragon Fist" shook the four directions.

But after all, they had only heard of it; they had never witnessed it with their own eyes. Moreover, they currently held the advantage in numbers.

However.

Xu Wenchang raised a smile of disdain.

"Earth chickens and clay dogs."

The four words were spoken softly.

In the next instant,

Boom—!!!

No one could see how he threw his punch.

Only a deafening explosion that made heaven and earth change color suddenly erupted.

The axe-wielding vice-president at the very front, his body still in mid-air, was struck head-on as if by a ten-thousand-ton dump truck.

His body instantly disintegrated, turning into a mist of blood filling the sky.

Immediately after.

Thud! Thud!

Two more dull thuds rang out.

The two vice-presidents attacking from left and right hadn't even reacted to what happened before their chests instantly caved in.

Both were blasted flying, smashing into rocks a thousand meters away, their life or death unknown.

One punch, one kill!

In a single exchange, three experts above level 80 were instantly obliterated!

This scene made Zhao Tianling, who had been preparing to strike immediately after, forcibly stop his steps.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

Too strong...

Is this the true worth of the Dragon Guard Army...

Those three were all experts above level 80, forces that dominated a region in Tianbei City!

Could they not even withstand a single punch?

Shanben Jianyi narrowed his eyes slightly as well.

He knew Xu Wenchang was strong, but he never expected him to be strong to such an unreasonable degree.

"What are you staring at?"

"President Zhao, if you want to die, just stand there and watch!"

Shanben Jianyi shouted fiercely, and a flash of light appeared in his hand.

Two long blades with bizarre designs, one black and one white, appeared in his grasp.

"Yin-Yang Reversal · Shadow Bind!"

Shanben Jianyi's figure flickered, instantly splitting into dozens of illusory shadows.

These shadows were indistinguishable as real or fake, each emitting a chilling aura, and they swarmed toward Xu Wenchang like ghosts.

Xu Wenchang's gaze sharpened, his vision falling upon the black-and-white twin blades.

"【Yin-Yang Twins · Onikiri】?"

"The exclusive weapons from the Ying Empire's imperial family... Although they are also unique exclusive weapons, in terms of grade, they are far inferior to my gauntlets."

Xu Wenchang sneered inwardly, seeing through his opponent's true nature at a glance.

As for Shanben Jianyi's profession, he also understood it instantly.

【Yin-Yang Swordsman】.

This is a rare profession unique to the Ying Empire; its main focus is not the killing power of swordsmanship, but rather unpredictable control and curses.

The ability of this profession to engage in direct combat might not be strong, but it is like a dog-skin plaster stuck to the body, extremely difficult to shake off.

Especially the trait of manipulating shadows to restrict enemy movement, which is extremely disgusting in battle.

"Do you dare act so presumptuously before me?"

Xu Wenchang clashed his fists together, and golden dragon-shaped qi energy erupted.

"Roar—!!!"

The dragon's roar shattered several approaching phantoms.

However,

Those shattered shadows did not dissipate; instead, they turned into black sludge, spreading along the ground and tightly binding Xu Wenchang's legs.

At the same time,

"Bull Rush!"

Zhao Tianling, having reacted, roared as well.

As a top-tier tank at level 82, his skin instantly metalized, resembling a moving steel fortress as he slammed hard into the restrained Xu Wenchang.

"Get lost!"

Xu Wenchang was forced to divert his attention, punching Zhao Tianling squarely in the chest.

"Pfft—!"

Zhao Tianling spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his entire body flying back dozens of meters.

Yet, relying on his extremely high defense and massive health pool, he actually withstood that punch.

Seizing this opening, Shanben Jianyi's true form had already merged into the shadows.

His voice drifted, uncertain and wavering:

"Xu Lao, although I cannot kill you, if the goal is merely to trap you, I still have some confidence."

"Yin-Yang Arts · Slow Curse!"

A gray rune silently imprinted itself on Xu Wenchang's back.

Xu Wenchang felt his body grow heavy, his movements suddenly showing a hint of stagnation.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Shanben Jianyi's eyes.

He knew clearly that even if he and Zhao Tianling joined forces, they would absolutely not be Xu Wenchang's match.

The opponent was a top-tier combat power of the Dragon Nation, while he was merely an overseas spy from the Ying Nation; a direct clash would only lead to death.

But...

He did not need to win.

He only needed to stall!

"Xu Lao, you are too strong, so strong that even I feel fear."

Shanben Jianyi's figure appeared in the distance, a smile of triumph hanging on his face:

"But precisely because of this, I do not need to defeat you; I only need to let you watch..."

"... watch over four hundred level-40 professionals tear apart the future hope of your Dragon Nation into fragments."

"Hahahaha..."

"For the glory of the Empire, my death is insignificant!"

Shanben Jianyi's eyes burned with fanaticism.

The dual blades in his hand swung again, countless black shadows like parasites clinging to bone surging toward Xu Wenchang in layers.

Seeking not to injure the enemy, but only to delay!

At the same time, at the edge of the barrier.

Lin Mo and the other three finally ran before that pitch-black light curtain.

"Huff... huff..."

Han Mengqing panted heavily, reaching out to touch the black light curtain.

It felt cold to the touch, hard as iron.

No matter how hard she pushed, the light curtain did not budge an inch.

"It's useless."

Han Mengyao thrust her long spear out violently.

Ding!

A crisp sound rang out.

The spear tip struck the light curtain, leaving not even a white mark.

Han Mengyao said in a deep voice:

"This is the 【Dark Curtain Barrier】, a strategic-level sealing artifact."

"Unless one is above level 90 and wields a unique weapon, it is impossible to break."

"Moreover, this thing blocks all communication; we are now... completely trapped like fish in a jar."

Chu Lingxuan's face turned pale; she subconsciously looked at Han Mengyao: "Then... then what do we do? Can we not get out?"

Han Mengqing instantly exploded: "Damn it, these bastards! Let's fight them to the death! We might as well go down together!"

Lin Mo said nothing, silently gazing at the light curtain before him.

"Xiao Tu."

【The 'Earth Shield Technique' responded immediately: Master, I am here!】

"Can you use 【Earth Submersion】 to take us through? This barrier should only cover the ground, right?"

Lin Mo asked.

【The 'Earth Shield Technique' began sensing the pulse of the earth.】

Moments later, the voice of the 'Earth Shield Technique' became somewhat dejected:

【The 'Earth Shield Technique': No, Master... this big black cover is a sphere! A perfect sphere! It not only covers the sky, but the ground beneath is also completely sealed! I cannot sense any earth elements outside; there is no way to drill through...】

"A spherical barrier, even the underground is sealed..."

Lin Mo frowned.

It seems these people truly made complete preparations; no way up, no way down.

He turned around, looking toward the direction where Xu Wenchang was fighting.

Xu Wenchang's safety, he wasn't worried about it in the slightest.

Before coming to school,

his old man had told him that Instructor Xu's strength was extremely powerful, an existence with almost no equal of the same level.

And those few professionals surrounding Instructor Xu were all of lower level than Instructor Xu.

Now the biggest problem was themselves.

Lin Mo looked toward that stretch of wasteland kicking up dust across the sky.

Over four hundred members of the Mad Shark Guild were charging wildly toward their direction.

Greedy eyes, savage faces, and killing intent that pierced the heavens.

Like a pack of hungry wolves, they had the four of them firmly surrounded at the edge of the barrier.

"Since we can't get out, then we can only fight."

Lin Mo rolled his neck, letting out a series of crisp cracks.

Since they couldn't run, then they'd kill every last one of these people.

Once they're all dead, it'll naturally be safe.

"Xiao Huo, Xiao Lei, Xiao Tu, get ready to move."

【【Fireball Art】 instantly thrilled to the extreme: These ants chased this sovereign all the way here, this sovereign has long wanted to burn them all to ash!】

【【Earth Shield Art】 was also rubbing its fists in anticipation: Over four hundred people? Hmph, watch me skewer them one by one! I'm now the second brother who has grasped the ultimate profound meaning!】

【Lightning Strike Art】 said nothing, but Lin Mo could feel an extremely sharp will of thunder condensing.

Han Mengyao walked to Lin Mo's side, her long spear sweeping horizontally, bringing up a sheet of frost.

"Fight to the death."

Her gaze was resolute.

Chu Lingxuan took a deep breath and stood in front of everyone.

Han Mengqing also put away her playful smile, light flowing on her staff, ready to cast BUFFs at any moment.

"Come on! Let these bastards know that our Long Xu Ban F4 are not easy to mess with!"
