Chapter 717: A Stealthy Kill
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Although the sight of the three Void Realm creatures were obstructed, the mist did not have much of an effect on the warriors. After all, warriors had extremely keen senses and were able to locate the target quickly even with noises all around.
At that point, they heightened their concentration to the extreme and were confident that they could handle it unless a peak level Innate Stage warrior attacked them.
Brush!
Rage flashed across the eyes of a Grade-A+ creature and it arched its body before surging forward. An explosive roar was then heard, but its attack only managed to strike at air.
Grade-A+ creatures ranked higher than Grade-A and their strength hovered around the mid-level Innate Stage. Part of their inner force had been transformed into innate Qi force.
Soon after, the other two Grade-A creatures rushed in different directions, seemingly having discovered something.
The three Void Realm creatures were immediately separated. Although it seemed as though they were only separated by a short distance, they were likely to be some distance away within the formation.
At that moment, Ye Lingchen was less than two meters away from a Grade-A creature. He looked at it indifferently, as two meters was considered a safe distance. Any closer and the Void Realm creature could detect him despite not being able to see him.
Ye Lingchen jerked the spear abruptly with both hands, causing it to appear from the shroud of white mist and pierce straight at the Grade-A creature’s head!
The distance of two meters could be covered in an instant, but the Grade-A creature reacted quickly by leaning its head to the left in a precarious manner. Ye Lingchen was not going to let any opportunity slip, so he swept the spear and planned to slice the creature’s throat.
The creature lowered its head in an instant and roared as if asking for help. The saber in its hand collided with the spear and its body was forced to retreat.
A figure appeared eerily from the fog behind it. Without making a single sound, it slashed toward the creature with the large saber!
Thump!
Although the creature managed to avoid danger at the most critical moment, it still suffered a three-feet long gash at the waist. It was unfortunate that Qin Baichuan was only at peak level Inner Force and the damage caused was rather limited. If Qin Baichuan was an Innate Stage warrior, the slash would have killed the creature.
“Kaku!”
The creature roared and raised its hand to punch Qin Baichuan behind it, but once it unleashed its fist force, its attack struck only thin air.
The commotion naturally attracted the attention of the other two Void Realm creatures, but Lin Tianxiong and Blue Wolf’s Chief Instructor had their hands full and were unable to provide immediate support. Seconds after the Grade-A+ creature arrived and was about to join its brethren, Ye Lingchen had already thrust his spear toward it.
“Kaku!”
The Grade-A+ creature’s eyes were red and its viciousness had reached the extreme. The weapon in its hand was a hammer reminiscent of a wolf’s teeth mace, and instead of dodging, it clashed directly with Ye Lingchen’s spear!
Boom!
Ye Lingchen retracted the spear and the scene reverted back to calmness again.
Ye Lingchen suppressed the spiritual energy tumbling within his body and looked solemnly at the three people who were inside the formation.
Things were getting troublesome.
The formation did not cover too much ground, and fights between warriors would inevitably produce fluctuations in spiritual energy. If they failed to kill a Void Realm creature in the first instance, the other two creatures would definitely rush over to support it. That would prevent the warriors from delivering a fatal blow, as a display of strength would expose their position.
There were too few mid-grade spirit stones and the preparation time was also insufficient. They could consider themselves lucky to have been able to set up that kind of trapping formation, but they were still quite far from the killing formation.
Ye Lingchen’s eyes flickered slightly and he suddenly realized that his current abilities were still lacking. Things would easily have been solved if a strong sedative could be integrated into the formation. His knowledge was unparalleled, but it was clear that he had to creatively combine his knowledge into pragmatic usage.
He glanced over the Grade-A+ creature and looked at the other two creatures.
The Grade-A+ creature already possessed innate Qi force and its combat effectiveness had reached a transformative point. Ye Lingchen could hardly fight it with brute force. The top priority was to kill the weaker ones first, and deal with that one at the very end.
He hinted to Qin Baichuan and the other two, who immediately understood what happened. Qin Baichuan and Lin Tianxiong slowly leaned toward the two Grade-A creatures, while Blue Wolf’s Chief Instructor focused on that Grade-A+ creature.
Although Lin Tianxiong and Qin Baichuan had injuries on their bodies, their combat effectiveness was not at all diminished. The Blue Wolf’s Chief Instructor suffered a slight disadvantage in combat effectiveness because of his broken left arm, so it was better for him to attract the attention of those Grade-A+ creatures and provide proper conditions for Ye Lingchen and the others to attack.
In fact, the risk of stalling the Grade-A+ creature was higher, and a slight misstep would result in death.
Following Ye Lingchen’s subtle nod, Blue Wolf’s Chief Instructor got things going by punching the Grade-A+ creature. All three creatures’ attention were diverted over to him at the same time, and they attacked Blue Wolf’s Chief Instructor together. However, the two Grade-A creatures were immediately stopped.
Lin Tianxiong and Qin Baichuan each handled one of those Grade-A creatures. They relied on the battle formation and fought almost on par with the beings. On the other hand, Ye Lingchen dealt with the other one on his own. He never learnt any spear techniques so he had no choice but to use brute force and end the battle quickly.
The Grade-A creature was still slightly afraid of Ye Lingchen, but not to the point of desperation. Instead, it fought and retreated while waiting for its teammates to rescue it.
Ye Lingchen’s gaze was sharp as lightning. Each clash forced the Grade-A creature to retreat. The skin of its hands was mangled from the clashes, and Ye Lingchen—somehow or rather—continued charging head-on toward it.
At that point, the Grade-A creature was stewing in anger. Lin Tianxiong and Qin Baichuan moved as smoothly as fishes, relying on the fog to back away after each strike. Although their attacks did not pose any threat to it, it was irritating. It thought it could kill the two humans after being bombarded with each attack, but it always ended up hitting thin air when it fought back. Consecutive failures left it frenetic. ‘Humans are so cunning!’
Following that, it looked sideways and felt an intense fluctuation of powerful spiritual energy beside it. The next moment, it vaguely saw two figures fighting in the mist.
“Kaku!”
The figure holding a spear was forcing another figure to an area not too far from itself, after which a roar was heard.
That voice…
The Grade-A creature’s eyes lit up and felt that the spear-armed figure was its companion. Then, it acted instantly without thinking and immediately slashed its saber across the figure that was being pushed toward him!
Thump!
Decapitated!
However, before he could rejoice, the ‘companion’ who was holding the long spear turned toward him and stabbed him immediately.
Rip!
The hand holding the saber was immediately sliced off before it could even react!
“Mokasuodila!”
That Grade-A creature still seemed to be in dark over what was going on. Its urgent voice seemed to suggest that it was explaining something to its companion.
“Stupid c*nt.”
Ye Lingchen smiled coldly and was full of praise for himself. He had used his ventriloquist skill to imitate the sound of that Grade-A creature and the effect was surprisingly good. If he had mastered the Void Realm’s language, he would be a stealthy killer when complemented with that formation.
The Grade-A creature was stunned when he heard Ye Lingchen’s voice and instantly realized what happened. It let out a scream, feeling furious yet powerless.
