865: Clear (VI)

“It seems Blade City is completely prepared to act like a coward!”

After punching through the Guardian Array's defensive barrier in River Valley Town, Wang Chen's face showed no joy, but rather some helplessness.

He had been watching the Undead's plea for help from River Valley Town, and intentionally went along with it.

After all, if River Valley Town had truly managed to get Blade City to act, it would have been good news for him, allowing him to further cut down some of their forces before dealing with Blade City.

It was precisely because of this that he waited a little longer outside the Guardian Array's defensive barrier; otherwise, the River Valley Town's Guardian Array's defensive barrier was no different from paper in front of him, capable of being shattered with a flick of a finger.

Unfortunately, Blade City had clearly given up on its other settlements in the Demon Beast Forest; a wisp of Wang Chen's perception, which he had sent out, did not detect any unusual activity in the direction of Blade City.

“Since that’s the case, let’s speed things up.”

“Such a boring thing as abusing weaker opponents becomes very tiresome when done too much.”

Wang Chen pondered in his mind, and amidst the shocked and terrified gazes of the many Undead, he moved his feet, his body suddenly transforming into a streak of light, bringing with it bursts of ear-piercing sonic booms that enveloped all the Undead.

“Not good!”

“Retreat, retreat, retreat!”

“Don’t worry about anything else, everyone scatter and run, save yourselves if you can!”

The River Valley Town Lord’s face changed drastically as he loudly shouted commands to his surroundings, while also erupting with power, wanting to stop Wang Chen.

Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain!

When Wang Chen exerted his full strength in his normal state, his speed was simply not something that the River Valley Town Lord, a mere Early Stage Rank Eight, could stop.

Almost in the blink of an eye, before the River Valley Town Lord’s voice had completely dissipated from the air, Wang Chen’s figure had already swept past these hundreds of Undead, appearing in the center of River Valley Town.

At this moment, all the Undead had not yet reacted to what had happened.

The enemy ran to their back?

That’s great!

This was their chance to escape!

Filled with the excitement of surviving a disaster, many Undead stepped forward, wanting to flee into the dark forest.

But as soon as they moved, they discovered something was wrong.

Why were they still treading in place?

The next second, a sensation of falling swept through their minds.

Before their consciousness completely plunged into darkness, they saw headless corpses running forward.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

If one were standing outside River Valley Town at this moment, one would witness an incredibly bizarre scene unfolding.

Hundreds of headless corpses ran forward for two or three steps, then simultaneously fell to the ground.

“So, just now, we already died?”

“What kind of strength is this, exactly?”

The River Valley Town Lord lasted a little longer than the ordinary Undead Warrior, but he only had time to turn his head and glance backward.

That calm and collected figure was forever etched in his eyes.

“The experience points needed for leveling up are getting more and more!”

The Undead who had turned into corpses around him did not cause any ripples in Wang Chen’s heart.

In his eyes, monsters that could provide experience points were always monsters; no matter what twists or persistence, or what kind of civilization or beliefs they had behind them, they would not receive an ounce of his pity.

However, there was still a slight difference.

The meager experience points provided by these Undead still made him somewhat displeased.

Glancing at his attribute panel, Wang Chen found that annihilating this Undead settlement only advanced his leveling progress bar by one-twentieth, which was far from satisfying him.

Normally, the destruction of such an Undead settlement, and the experience points provided by all the Undead, would be enough for a Rank 187 Awakener to level up by three or four Ranks.

But unfortunately, Wang Chen was different from ordinary Professionals; the experience points he gained were shared equally with the six little ones, meaning he only received one-seventh of the total.

And this was far from the end; in the future, as more little ones were contracted, this proportion would continue to decrease, eventually reaching one-ninth.

However, one-seventh of the total experience points was a drop in the bucket for Wang Chen, but for the Dark Titan, who had the lowest Rank among the little ones, it was quite substantial.

It directly raised the Dark Titan by one Rank, reaching Rank 170, and its progress towards Rank 171 was also more than halfway.

……

“In a flash, I’ve been in the Netherworld for over two months.”

After checking the Dark Titan’s attribute panel, a hint of melancholy appeared in Wang Chen’s eyes.

It had been over two months since he was transported to the Netherworld from the Blood Clan World by the cross-world teleportation array, and now he wondered what stage the Blue Star World’s war in the Blood Clan World had reached, and whether it was still going smoothly.

Furthermore.

“Although I joined the Hidden Dragon Project and was bound to the national luck stone tablet of my homeland when I was on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.”

“This binding is similar to the Soul Stones in the Netherworld, allowing the national luck stone tablet to detect my life and death, but the Netherworld is unknown distances from the Myriad Heavens Battlefield and the Blue Star World, so I wonder if this method is still effective?”

“If it’s not effective…”

Thinking of this, Wang Chen felt a little down.

If the national luck stone tablet truly couldn’t detect his current situation, then news of his death had probably already spread throughout Blue Star World, and Wang Chen didn't know how heartbroken his parents would be.

“I need to go back as soon as possible.”

“After annihilating Blade City and stepping into Seven-Turn, as long as I contract one more beast pet, my strength will experience an even greater increase.”

“I need to quickly reach a level where I can shatter world barriers and roam the Limitless Void; at that time, I will be able to use a cross-world magic array, intercept the Qi of Blue Star World on my body, and forcefully open a Void Realm passage.”

Wang Chen thought to himself, his eyes once again brightening with determination.

As for how to return to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield and Blue Star World, he had already thought of a method when he was accidentally teleported to the Netherworld and discovered that the Undead here and the Demonic Beasts corrupted by Undead power could provide vast experience points.

That method was to rely on his formidable strength, use the connection between himself and Blue Star World to intercept a trace of Qi, and create a cross-world teleportation array to forcefully open a Void Realm passage.

This way, he would be able to directly teleport back to Blue Star World.

However, this method had a prerequisite: he had to possess formidable strength to protect himself.
