Chapter 1150: Clash with Three Protectors (4)
Booooom!!!
Bang!
Slash!
Groaaaaan!!!
You crazy bastard!
Why can it be like this!?
Protector Ignis could not believe that he could not do anything to Zheng-Fu, even though he had support from both his and his comrades' underlings. The more they fought, the more his side's manpower died. It was as if everything went according to that human's plan.
Ignis!
"He tricked you into attacking the blind spot he created. Be careful, don't play along with his game!"
Protector Aqua could see that Zheng-Fu was manipulating his comrade at that moment. Because every time Zheng-Fu opened a gap for Protector Ignis to attack, Zheng-Fu used that opportunity to counterattack. But he did not attack Ignis; instead, he killed the underlings around Protector Ignis.
"Realize so quickly! But it's too late. Soon, all your underlings will be killed by me!" Zheng-Fu slightly smiled at the corner of his mouth before indifferently provoking the enemy even more.
You!
"Everyone, step back and gather energy with me!" When Protector Ignis saw that a simultaneous attack with so much manpower was ineffective, he ordered his underlings to retreat to combine energy with him to attack.
Groaaaan!!!
Hmm!
"A good idea! But it isn't enough to kill me. If the other two of you haven't joined yet, I can tell you that the lives of all of you have come to an end!" Although the other party combined their energy to attack, Zheng-Fu was not afraid at all. Because by that time, he already knew Protector Ignis's weak points. If the other two protectors had not joined the fight yet, soon he would be able to kill Protector Ignis.
"Don't be too boastful. Try coping with this attack first!"
[Combination Flames Heaven's Punishment Skill]
Boom!!!
Suddenly, numerous flames were released by Protector Ignis's fire element demon monster underlings, who gathered around him. Before it formed a large flaming sword that was even hotter than the previous fire skill that Protector Ignis used. Moreover, its destructive energy was twice as powerful.
"Once Ignis uses this skill, we'll no longer be able to control our tactical formations, Protector Terra! If the tactical formations collapse, you and I must rush in and help Ignis attack that human immediately, whether he was killed because of that skill or not. Because that might be our last attack!"
Protector Aqua knew immediately what would happen next. And he would not let that opportunity go until Zheng-Fu was killed. But he could not do it alone. Because he had lost more than seven parts of his energy to control his tactical formation. So, he had to have Protector Terra join him as well.
Agree!
Protector Terra took Protector Aqua's words seriously. He understood what the latter wanted to convey because he could not do it alone either.
Die, you cocky human!
"Oh! It's truly a fierce and powerful skill. This is what I want!" At that time, Zheng-Fu was not as careless and playful as before. He used every skill he had to block it because he could clearly feel the enormous energy in that gigantic flaming sword.
[Emerald Golden Bell Deity Carapace Armor Skill]
Bong!!!
The defensive skill that Zheng-Fu planned to use to counter their combined skill was the Emerald Golden Bell Deity Carapace Armor Skill that he had newly developed after absorbing the remaining fraction of the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity's energy.
The Emerald Golden Bell Deity Carapace Armor Skill, developed from the Golden Bell Deity Qi armor skill, had become a Great Deity Skill. Its defensive energy was very high. However, since Zheng-Fu's energy level had not yet reached the Great Deity Stage, the energy of that skill was only comparable to the Advanced Deity Skill. But that was enough for Zheng-Fu to deal with those enemies.
Booooom!!!
Creeeaaak!!!
The flaming sword formed by the Combination Flames Heaven's Punishment Skill collided violently with Zheng-Fu's Emerald Golden Bell Deity Carapace Armor Skill, causing a loud noise that could be heard hundreds of lis away.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Groooaaan!!!
In addition to the ear-splitting sound, the energy waves from the collision also caused many cracks and breaks in the Earthen Pillar Jail.
Groaaaaaan!!!
Gahhhh!!!
Augh! Augh! Augh!
Not only was Earth Pillar Jail affected, but all three protectors and their underlings were also affected by the reflection force. In particular, Protector Terra and Protector Aqua, who controlled the two-element combined tactical formation. They coughed up large mouthfuls of blood and suffered internal injuries.
As for Zheng-Fu, he only retreated a few dozen steps before stopping and standing firmly like a formidable War God. That was because the Emerald Golden Bell Deity Carapace Armor Skill was a higher-level skill than the flaming sword skill. Zheng-Fu was not injured. He just lost quite a bit of energy.
At Hunter Guild...
Booooom!!!
Groooaaan!!!
Wha… what happened?
Why are there earthquakes?!
"Is there a fight among the advanced Deity Monarch Stage cultivators?!"
"Is that the direction of Sun Moon Forest?!"
That's right!
Many hunters inside the Hunter Guild building were startled by the loud explosion and shaking that occurred. Everyone was a cultivator, so they knew that that energy must have belonged to the advanced Deity Monarch Stage cultivators. And there were not many people at that level in the area.
At that time, the elders of the Hunter Guild were meeting about the matter they had reported and were discussing who they should send out to handle it. But because of the explosion and shaking just now, they did not discuss it any longer. Everyone immediately rushed towards the location where the sound of the explosion had occurred.
It was not just the Hunter Guild that was in chaos; all the second-tier cities within a radius of no more than ten thousand li around Sun Moon Forest were also in chaos as the cultivators sensed the energy waves of the collision. And out of curiosity, everyone immediately headed towards the scene without hesitation.
Returning to the scene of the incident...
Augh!!!
Protector Ignis's condition looked very bad at that time. It was as if he had just wrestled with a mad dog. His entire body was covered in blood and many wounds. But the worst thing was that his insides were seriously injured due to the reflection force he was affected by.
"Wha... what... what the hell kind of defensive skill is this?! Why is it so strong? Even Protector Terra's best defensive skill isn't as strong!" Protector Ignis was shocked and disbelieved by Zheng-Fu many times. But this time it was too difficult for him to accept. He never thought that there would be anyone who could be comparable to his revered Master.
"This is crazy! Did we fail this time?! Augh!!! It's… It's all because we underestimated this human. If we had worked together to attack from the beginning, the result wouldn't be like this!" Protector Aqua slowly regained his composure and spoke with a vengeful expression. He was a person who always worked cautiously. Every time he had to plan carefully, and everything usually worked well. However, this time his plans failed because of his brief hesitation.
"Oh, Master won't forgive us! So, no matter what, we must use everything we have to exchange our lives with this human. And help Master come back to life! And once the Master is resurrected, no one will be able to resist our Master!" Protector Terra said decisively. He felt sorry. But he did not give up, even if he had to exchange his life with Zheng-Fu's. The most important thing was that he had to help his Master achieve the resurrection. And this human's soul was necessary.
Good!
"Then let's combine our final energies. No matter the cost, we must kill him and bring his soul to Master!"
Arrrrrgh!!!
When they had no other way, the three Protectors tried to combine all of their remaining energies for a final attack in exchange for Zheng-Fu's life. Although each of them did not have much energy left, when they also combined their life energies, that attack was as strong as the Half-Great Deity Stage cultivator's attack. And it would be an attack exchanged for the lives of the three of them.
Boom!
'Right now, I have wasted quite a bit of energy using Emerald Golden Bell Deity Carapace Armor Skill. Even though I still have some energy left, it would be difficult for me to deal with their life-exchanging attacks. I might need some help. Sigh! If possible, I don't want to use it.'
Although Zheng-Fu's outward condition looked normal, he had actually lost a lot of energy. If he were to deal with an attack as fierce as just now or even fiercer, he would absolutely not be able to handle it. So, he thought of calling his clone figures to help. But he sensed that Quan-Song's group was still watching his battle, so he felt reluctant to summon clone figures. Because it was his top-secret card for the mission to wipe out the Demon Race.
However, the current situation left him with little choice. Plus, the true master of Blood Tomb had not yet appeared, so he had to save his energy for now to avoid making mistakes later.
"Clone figures, come…"
Flap! Flap! Flap!
Hah!?
But just as Zheng-Fu was about to summon his clone figures, he sensed several Deity Monarch Stage cultivators heading toward there. But then they stopped at the spot where Quan-Song's team was. With Zheng-Fu's sharp eyesight, he could see from the hunter badges attached to their chests that that group of people were hunters as well.
Seven-star hunters?!
And from the stars on those hunters' badges, Zheng-Fu knew their hunter level. And from what he knew, most seven-star hunters would be senior hunters of the guild. Therefore, it was not difficult to ascertain what status they had and why they were there.
Of course, aside from Zheng-Fu, the three protectors also sensed them. And that made their expressions turn grim. Because what they were worried about was that the Hunter Guild would send those people, and their plans would be foiled.
"We must retreat first. If we continue fighting, we'll be at a disadvantage!" Protector Aqua immediately warned Protector Ignis and Protector Terra. If they did not retreat, the results they would receive would be worse than fighting Zheng-Fu at the cost of their lives.
"Dammit! Why is it like this? Just a little more, and everything will end well. If it weren't for this human, things wouldn't have turned out this bad!" Protector Ignis was enraged. Because throughout the years, they had never encountered any failures. But as soon as Zheng-Fu arrived, all their plans were ruined. Not only did they get nothing, but they were also heavily damaged.
"Don't worry, Ignis! No matter how many of them there are, if they didn't have a Great Deity Stage cultivator with them, they wouldn't be able to do anything to Master's Blood Tomb. Now let's retreat!" Protector Terra was also angry at Zheng-Fu. But he could not do anything. And their only hope was their Master, who lay in the coffin in the tomb's main hall.
Umm!
All right!
Once they reached an agreement, the three of them and their remaining underlings immediately rushed toward the cracks created by Zheng-Fu's attack to escape from the Earthen Pillar Jail without any further attention. And for a short time after that, everything was completely silent. Then the cracks were closed by Protector Terra's control skill.
