760: Arrogant?
In Rainfall Town, the atmosphere was tense, like a drawn bow.
The Undead Warriors who had been patrolling the surroundings all came forward, holding their weapons, and the commotion here spread to the distance, drawing more Undead Warriors to the area.
They were all waiting for Moro to give the order to chop this Human Race who dared to infiltrate their gathering place into meat paste.
At this moment, Moro's eyes also became extremely hostile.
He stared intently at the Xuanqing Snake King, his killing intent already surging.
"Town Chief, this black snake bringing a Human Race into the gathering place must be harboring ill intentions. Why listen to his explanation? Let's capture them directly now; even the adults from Blade City wouldn't say anything if they knew."
Koldo, standing by, had a bloodthirsty look in his eyes and spoke with extreme malice.
He was already troubled by the need for flesh and blood sacrifices for the ritual, and now the Xuanqing Snake King, colluding with the Dead Spirit Race's great enemy, the Human Race, had even delivered himself to their doorstep. It was the perfect opportunity to leave his flesh and blood to fill the gap in the sacrifices needed for the ritual.
"Hehe!"
"Capture me? Do you think you have that ability? I think today you want to become…"
The Xuanqing Snake King coldly snorted, looking at Koldo with a sneer. His pair of dark yellow snake eyes gleamed with an eerie light, ready to teach Koldo a lesson.
But just then.
"No need to argue with him."
Wang Chen suddenly reached out and placed his hand on the Xuanqing Snake King's shoulder, then removed the covering from his head.
"Since we're out, let's not waste time."
"Hurry up and activate your Guardian Array. I still need to leave the Demon Beast Forest before dawn."
Wang Chen looked at Moro and Koldo, his eyes filled with indifference.
At this moment, the surrounding Undead Warriors' eyes became even more violent.
"Is it really a Human Race?"
"Such a brazen fellow, daring to enter our gathering place. He's truly courting death!"
"It's been a long time since I tasted Human Race flesh and blood. Maybe today I'll get to have some!"
"So this is what a Human Race looks like? They don't look much different from us, but their bodies are too ugly. Their two tails aren't pretty at all!"
...
What Moro had said earlier, the Undead Warriors were still a bit skeptical. How could a Human Race whose strength was not even at the seventh rank dare to come to a large gathering place like their Rainfall Town?
Even if one sought death, this wasn't the way!
But now, looking at the handsome Human Race youth standing beside the Xuanqing Snake King, all the previous doubts in the hearts of the Undead Warriors vanished, replaced by endless excitement.
In the eyes of the Dead Spirit Race, the Human Race was the highest grade ingredient, even comparable to Heaven And Earth Treasure; each one was a great tonic.
However, the Human Race would not step out of the magic dispelling array's range at night, so they couldn't approach. And those who dared to come out were all extremely terrifying powerhouses.
This led to many of the Undead Warriors present never having seen a Human Race with their own eyes, only understanding through word of mouth.
"Arrogant!"
"A mere sixth-rank Late Stage dares to speak to us like this?"
"Do you think this black snake can protect you?!"
Before Moro could speak, Koldo took a step forward, his scarlet eyes locking onto Wang Chen, and a tide-like killing intent enveloped him without restraint.
"I said, speed it up, fully activate the power of your Guardian Array."
"Otherwise, you, a mere eighth-rank, won't be able to withstand a single move in front of me!"
Facing Koldo's tide-like killing intent, Wang Chen remained unperturbed.
At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back, his aura surging violently, like a peerless swordsman drawing a divine sword, his sharpness fully revealed, and the terrifying Qi pressure forced the surrounding Undead Warriors who had gathered closer to continuously retreat.
"This, this, this, eighth-rank Peak?"
Feeling this terrifying aura, a hint of shock flashed in Koldo's eyes, and the arrogant expression on his face froze.
Two eighth-rank Peak powerhouses—this strength was enough to pose a great threat to Rainfall Town. For a moment, Koldo fell silent, casting a hidden glance at Moro.
If a fight truly broke out, Rainfall Town would undoubtedly suffer significant losses. He couldn't make that decision.
Beside him, Moro's expression also became solemn. He looked at the Xuanqing Snake King and Wang Chen, somewhat unsure why these two individuals would be involved together.
The Human Race and the Dead Spirit Race were mortal enemies, and their relationship with the Yao Race was also not harmonious.
Now that the Yao Race was in decline and their Bloodline almost severed, the Human Race had played a significant role in that.
"Esteemed Human Race powerhouse, may I ask the purpose of your visit this late at night?"
Moro's face remained impassive as he slowly asked.
Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to see a battle break out.
Fully activating the power of the Guardian Array could easily suppress one eighth-rank Peak, but two eighth-rank Peaks, that was different.
Even if they could successfully resolve it, Rainfall Town would suffer immense losses.
"I've already made it quite clear..."
Looking at Moro, Wang Chen said indifferently:
"I'm here to slaughter your gathering place."
Before his words even finished, Wang Chen casually waved an Qi blade, directly blasting several Undead Warriors in the vicinity.
"You can choose to surrender and await death, or resist with all your might."
"Of course, I hope it's the latter."
Slowly retracting his hand, Wang Chen gazed at Moro before him, a cold arc forming at the corner of his lips.
"Courting death!"
Before Moro could speak, Koldo's face changed drastically. He waved his hands, forming a seal in front of him, and violent Demonic Beast power erupted, condensing into a giant energy ball that smashed towards Wang Chen.
"I told you, without fully activating the Guardian Array, you're no different from an ant in my eyes."
Facing the incoming energy ball, Wang Chen scoffed dismissively, and with a casual wave, the energy ball was crushed in mid-air.
"This, this, this..."
Seeing this scene, the surrounding Undead Warriors all showed shock in their eyes.
As the leader of the hunting party, Koldo was an eighth-rank powerhouse; even a casual strike from him contained terrifying power. Yet, the attack he launched was effortlessly nullified by this Human Race before them.
At this moment, the Undead Warriors' eyes became filled with fear.
"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"
Seeing that matters had come to this, Moro no longer held any hope. He directly roared and activated the core of the Guardian Array he carried with him.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!!
The giant barrier enveloping the entire Rainfall Town instantly burst into bright light. At the same time, beams of energy shot up from the center of Rainfall Town, scattering in mid-air and entering the bodies of Moro, Koldo, and many surrounding Undead Warriors.
In an instant, the Qi of the Dead Spirits surged wildly. Moro and Koldo directly elevated to eighth-rank Peak, the weakest of the surrounding Undead Warriors reached seventh-rank, and the strongest few even reached eighth-rank Middle Stage.
At this moment, terrifying power fluctuations surged at the entrance of Rainfall Town, stirring up gusts of strong wind, and the roofs of many nearby houses were blown off.
