Chapter 577

【Current mission progress: 54.15%】

"Killing these 8 Sunlight-tier lords has increased my military merit by nearly 270 million."

"All 8 lords exceeded the standard for the Sunlight tier; Lord Yi Bai, as a Dharma Protector of the Brahma Heaven Palace, alone granted 150 million."

"Is he alone worth 15 Sunlight-tier lords?"

Zhao Xing looked at the battlefield intelligence records.

Without a doubt, Lord Yi Bai was the most outstanding among the 8.

The 40 million merit granted was also significant, accounting for half of the total from the 8.

"The experts coming to support now are likely no worse than Lord Yi Bai."

"If I kill them, the speed of accumulating military merit will be even faster."

Zhao Xing was quite tempted; he really wanted to stay and wait for those experts to arrive.

But reason told him this was very dangerous.

"The twelve experts of the Shattered Star Ring all possess Void-tier combat power."

"If one or two of them come, it will be very dangerous."

"I could ask the Empire's experts for help, but asking for help is meaningless; it must be a solo kill to count as military merit."

Zhao Xing thought rapidly.

"Master, the battlefield has been cleared. You have 30 seconds to consider," Zero reminded him again.

"Let's go."

Zhao Xing ultimately abandoned the idea of continuing to fight; it was too dangerous.

After all, his advantage was the Angel, which allowed him to leave quickly.

Abandoning this advantage to fight head-on was undoubtedly foolish.

"Hum~"

The Angel activated stealth mode and slipped into the deep void without a trace!

It went directly into the sixth layer of the void, carrying Zhao Xing and quickly leaving the battlefield.

…………

30 seconds later.

Expert after expert appeared on the battlefield.

But at this moment, there was no trace of the enemy, nor of Lord Yi Bai and the others.

Only the turbulent void remained.

"The signal sources for Lord Yi Bai, Demon Eye, Mist Walker, and Illusion Walker have been cut off; the probability of them having fallen exceeds 90%."

A man with a triangular crystal mark on his forehead spoke, his voice spreading out as he pierced toward a certain part of the void.

"Baruk, where are your subordinates?"

"Dark Star, what do you mean? Are you suspecting me?" Baruk said coldly. "My people, Brode, Noss, and Felton, are also dead."

"Hmph." Lord Dark Star didn't say much more and left after a search.

And as the experts returned in vain,

The name and deeds of the 'Demon King' caused a sensation throughout the entire Shattered Star Ring at this moment.
