188: Exposing true strength
It was one thing for Chen Fei's strength to appear different every time he performed, but the leaps were enormous. Wasn't this rate of improvement a bit too exaggerated?
"This destructive power has already reached the fifth-tier!
This boy, Chen Fei, already possesses the combat power of a King-level Beast Tamer.
So it's very likely that the person who attacked you was this very individual.
Arbiter, Insect Master, The Weaver—the three of you go meet him again."
The Lord directly gave the order to attack.
"Understood!"
As the three took to the sky, everyone on the walls of Baiyue City first felt a wave of pressure, followed by fury:
"Damned Human Race traitors, you should all go to Hell!"
"When the front lines needed you, we didn't see you being so proactive, but when the Evil Beasts need you, you come running like lapdogs."
"The problem is, who can stop them now?"
The sudden appearance of three King-level Beast Tamers indeed put the people of Baiyue City in check, causing even their Spiritual Qi to stagnate for a moment.
With no King-level Beast Tamers left on the city walls, how could they fight this battle?
When it rains, it pours; misfortunes never come singly!
Assassin No. 5 of the Green Robe Tower had been crouching for a long time, so the moment Cheng Jingjing, Chen Qingyun, and the others' auras faltered, he chose to strike.
And his target was precisely Cheng Jingjing.
He had noticed that Cheng Jingjing was the one issuing orders. As long as she died, the front lines would descend into chaos, allowing him to take the opportunity to kill Chen Qingyun and his wife, along with the others.
It had to be said that Assassin No. 5's timing was precise and extremely steady.
A King-level rank 4 assassin assassinating a Grandmaster Level rank 9—by any logic, the latter had no chance of survival.
Even Chen Fei would have suffered a great loss.
Cheng Jingjing clearly felt the killing intent, which brought with it boundless rage.
But despite her anger, she could only raise the Spatial Barrier that Tuoba Zhiyuan had given her.
As for what to do after the barrier disappeared, she had no idea.
But for as long as she remained alive, she would not back down.
"All units, hear my command! Second wave of Sky Techniques... fire!"
"Those without Sky Techniques, use your strongest skills to greet the fourth-tier Evil Beasts below."
Even at this moment, Cheng Jingjing still chose the most rational way to fight.
Skills of fourth-tier beasts should naturally be used against fourth-tier Evil Beasts.
Using them against those King-level Beast Tamers would be a waste.
Everyone could hear the unwilling tremor in Cheng Jingjing's voice, as well as the determination to hold out until the end.
It was this very determination that completely infuriated Chen Fei.
Assassinations during normal times were one thing, but to come out and disrupt things at this critical moment of the great war...
They were hundreds of times more disgusting than the Evil Beasts before him.
And for such people, Chen Fei had only one thought: Kill!
Kill until the world turns upside down!
No matter who came, they could no longer stop the killing intent in Chen Fei's heart.
"Little Gu, Chi Yu, Wu Yun, no need to hold back anymore! Ya, stand by at any moment!"
Since the Arbiter had appeared, the Great Priest and the Lord were likely not far away.
Lin Ya couldn't beat them yet, but this trump card could save their lives.
Chi Yu immediately raised the Tiger Subduing Soul Suppressing Domain. After reaching the fifth-tier, the Domain's diameter had expanded to 4,000 meters.
Within this distance, Assassin No. 5 was absolutely included.
"Roar~ Within the Domain, there are a total of seven King-levels." Chi Yu sensed something was wrong and immediately reported.
Chen Fei's anger grew even stronger!
Besides the Arbiter's trio and Assassin No. 5, there were three others.
These three were likely also from the Green Robe Tower.
The Green Robe Tower had actually sent four King-levels to kill them; they were certainly thorough!
"Chi Yu, you handle five of them. Leave the rest to Wu Yun."
"Roar~ Leave it to me!"
A brilliant light flashed across Chi Yu's horn, and five Soul Stripping attacks suppressed them simultaneously.
The Arbiter's trio and the two hidden assassins in the shadows were ruthlessly suppressed.
Meanwhile, Wu Yun directly hurled the Guixu Tribulation Lightning, targeting Assassin No. 5.
In this instant!
The auras on Chi Yu and Wu Yun became incredibly powerful, no longer hiding their fifth-tier rank 2 strength.
They would stop killing with killing!
The pupils of Cheng Jingjing, Chen Qingyun, Xia Zhixue, and Xie Xun dilated. They wanted to say something, but their throats were blocked by shock.
They had thought Chen Fei might be Grandmaster Level rank 7 or 8.
They had thought Chen Fei's strength might have already surpassed Cheng Jingjing's.
They had even thought Chen Fei might be able to hold his own against a King-level rank 1 Beast Tamer.
But they had never imagined that Chen Fei was already a King-level Beast Tamer.
Ximen Lingyun, Jiang Yiyi, Tang Jian, Shen Lin, and the others were even more dumbfounded, as if the entire world had frozen in that moment.
Just a while ago, they were all adventuring together in a Fierce Land.
Two months later, you're telling me you're already King-level?
Ximen Lingyun had originally wanted to compete for the position of captain.
Looking at it now, what was there to compete for?
Who could surpass such a freak?
Especially Jiang Yiyi; she remembered the first time they encountered danger together.
At that time, Chen Fei was just a tiny Elementary Beast Tamer.
A year later, he was already a King-level Beast Tamer.
This shock made her mind stop working, like a clock with a broken spring.
Both the Great Priest and the Lord had expressions that said 'as expected'.
However, those expressions carried a lot of unnaturalness.
The Great Priest in particular—the face under the bandages was nearly twisted together.
No wonder!
No wonder I couldn't kill Jiang Yiyi; it turns out it was all because of this Chen Fei in the background.
No wonder every plot involving Chen Fei failed to reach a perfect conclusion.
No wonder he could walk through the Fierce Land as if it were level ground.
It was because he had never been simple.
Damn it, why didn't I discover this earlier?
One really couldn't blame the Great Priest for this.
He had been incredibly steady, not underestimating Chen Fei when he was weak, and even arranging for The Weaver to assassinate him.
That time had almost succeeded; if not for the Void Primordial Demon's presence, Chen Fei would have died a violent death long ago.
The Great Priest didn't lose because of his planning or steadiness; he lost to Chen Fei's cheated life.
However, no matter how much the Great Priest blamed himself now, he couldn't stop the fact that the Arbiter, The Weaver, and the Insect Master were being ruthlessly suppressed.
The reality was: he had already lost the best time to kill Chen Fei.
On the other side!
Assassin No. 5 found himself locked on by a killing intent. Instinctively sensing danger, he hurriedly had his beast set up a Shadow Escape.
But in the next moment, this killing intent actually penetrated the shield and went straight for Assassin No. 5.
Assassin No. 5 was startled and hurriedly used Shadow Escape.
But this bolt of lightning seemed to have an aimbot, curving around to continue chasing after him.
"Holy crap, this is ridiculous!"
