261: Enemies meet on a narrow road!

Flying in the Netherworld, one often encounters many fierce beasts.

Therefore, most martial artists participating in the trial choose to rush close to the ground, avoiding attracting powerful fierce beasts by being too ostentatious.

After all, they were only there to be assessed as probationary mercenaries, not to die.

Just like that, Chen Fan and his group flew from the peripheral zone towards the core of the World Lord World.

Along the way, whether it was avian fierce beasts or martial artist teams, all fled for their lives upon encountering Chen Fan's fleet.

Chen Fan did not mercilessly kill these free adventurers.

After all, he had no grievances or grudges with them, nor any conflicting interests, so there was no need for such innocent slaughter.

However, once the ownership of a treasure was involved, Chen Fan would not hesitate to eliminate all competitors.

Whoever has the bigger fist is right!

Chen Fan understood this very clearly.

The closer they got to the core region, the more combat encounters Chen Fan experienced.

In just three days, Chen Fan had encountered nineteen skirmishes.

As a fair and benevolent envoy, Chen Fan often eliminated both sides of an intense battle, resolving the problem from its root.

Then, he would collect their spoils of war.

Not only that, when facing some rare Universe Rank fierce beasts, Chen Fan would also let Thunder God and the others take action to hone their skills.

As a result, there was never an accident.

Whether it was Ma Liang, Thunder God, or Hong, their attacks were all as sharp as thunder, quickly defeating all their opponents.

According to Chen Fan's estimation, Ma Liang's combat power now slightly surpassed Thunder God and Hong, reaching the level of Universe Rank eight.

He was just a hair's breadth away from reaching the peak of Universe Rank, the difference lying in his application of the domain.

To this end, Chen Fan specifically selected a fifth-tier peak weapon from his collection, stronger than the 'Jue Xi Blade', for Ma Liang.

This was to help him better comprehend the wind attribute law, thereby strengthening his domain and increasing his combat power.

Not only for Ma Liang, but Chen Fan also selected some fifth-tier Origin Power weapons suitable for Hong and Thunder God's respective attributes.

Everything Chen Fan did was for their combat power improvement and law comprehension.

In contrast, the combat power of Hong and Thunder God followed closely.

From their battles, Chen Fan could infer that the combat power they could unleash was roughly equivalent to Universe Rank seven and Universe Rank six.

This was the super combat power they displayed after possessing their respective domains.

At the same time, Chen Fan also believed that the talent of these two was absolutely not limited to this.

After all, both Hong and Thunder God were dazzling geniuses in the original work.

However, compared to City Lord Luo, the two were still somewhat lacking.

At this moment, Chen Fan couldn't help but look forward to meeting City Lord Luo.

What a beautiful scene that would be!

Chen Fan pondered silently in his heart.

However, after his appearance, many plot developments seemed to have been fast-forwarded.

Chen Fan was helpless about this.

He could only proceed according to his own plans, as for what would happen later.

Chen Fan still needed to plan carefully.

"Little master, if you go three thousand li to the left, you'll find some surprises!"

Liu Qiyue's voice suddenly rang in Chen Fan's mind, and he was slightly startled.

Then, Chen Fan's face lit up with joy, and he immediately led his universe fleet directly to the place the enchantress described.

Chen Fan had always trusted Liu Qiyue's words implicitly.

This inexplicable trust, originating from the depths of his soul, often made Chen Fan very puzzled.

But in the end, he could never get any answers, and it always came to nothing.

Therefore, in such situations, Chen Fan would not spend too much thought on these matters.

Rumble rumble!!

Above the ten-thousand-meter high altitude of the World Lord World, Chen Fan's D5-class silver-white spaceship led a universe fleet in a V-formation, swiftly flying towards their destination.

At the same time, three thousand kilometers away in another location.

Four Astral Rank teams, all wearing unified uniforms with the character ' three' (three) carved on their chests and backs, were hunting a lone team of twelve ordinary Astral Rank adventurers.

The four teams comprised a total of thirty-four Astral Rank nine experts, with an equal number of Psycher Masters and martial artists.

As for the remaining twenty-plus individuals, they were all Astral Rank six to Astral Rank eight.

At this moment, these sixty-odd people surrounded the isolated adventurer team.

Facing these stubbornly resisting free adventurers, the Third Prince's personal guards immediately began to slaughter them without a word.

Their offensive was fierce, like wolves pouncing on a flock of sheep, with slaughter everywhere and blood flowing freely... In less than fifteen minutes, the battle was completely over.

With the skilled and tacit cooperation of the many personal guard martial artists, the free adventurers, numbering only twelve, were completely wiped out.

Although half of these twelve were Astral Rank peak martial artists, they were still helpless against such a large encirclement.

"They're truly a bunch of paupers. Besides the eyeballs of Giant-Eyed Demon Lizards and some other monster materials, there's nothing valuable in their spatial rings!"

Nearby, a one-eyed girl in uniform with gray hair searched the spatial rings of the dead martial artists, her face full of disdain.

"Alright, this is already the thirteenth wave of free adventurers we've hunted.

The Third Prince wants us to gather all the scattered martial artists around to use as cannon fodder to attack the Mingsa Castle, but I didn't expect these people to be so stubborn, preferring death over surrender!"

A Hook-nosed middle-aged man in uniform sighed with emotion and urged, "All of you, speed up. We still have to rush to the next location!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Yes!" the gray-haired girl responded helplessly.

Just as the four teams quickly cleaned up the battlefield and prepared to leave.

Suddenly—

Small black dots appeared in the sky, coming into view from a distance.

"D-class universe spaceship, could it be that the direct descendants of the four major organizations or the Ice Sea God Kingdom have entered here!"

The Hook-nosed man was shocked and then began to contact headquarters—

"Third Prince, I have a special situation to report to you..."

After a brief report, the Hook-nosed man received instructions from the Third Prince, Bukata — 'try to make contact, avoid friction'.

One must know that only the Third Prince possessed a D-class spaceship, and it was brought into this World Lord World with great difficulty.

But now, twelve D-class spaceships had appeared, which was enough to explain many things.

The identity of the newcomers was extraordinary!

"Captain, should we retreat?" the girl transmitted via Spiritual power.

"Retreat, my ass, all of you!" he rarely swore, his face looking very unnatural.

An Astral Rank martial artist competing in speed with a D-class spaceship was like an ant racing a cheetah; there was simply a world of difference.

"Don't think about running. What we can do now is stay here, wait for the esteemed person from the spaceship to appear, and then announce the Third Prince's name.

Hopefully, they will spare us out of respect for the Third Prince, Bukata."

The middle-aged captain's face was full of prayer.

But his prayers, this time, were completely ineffective.

Above the high altitude, the same scene appeared in every universe spaceship—

The clothing and faces of this group of people were fully projected on the large screen for everyone to see.

"Chen Fan, it looks like this is the uniform of the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land. Such a big ' three' (three) character, are they afraid their enemies won't know they are the Third Prince's subordinates?"

Ma Liang said, looking at the men and women on the screen.

"Enemies often meet on a narrow road!"

Chen Fan sighed with emotion, then directly contacted Fu Qingxi:

"Qingxi, these people are yours!"

"Whether to kill or to flay, you alone decide!"

"Understood!" Fu Qingxi's reply was very decisive.

"Aska, Noda, Kane, Garrott, I'm here to avenge you!"

After saying this bitterly, Fu Qingxi did not use the universe spaceship's planet-destroying cannon, but chose to personally enter the fray.

Whoosh!!

The hangar door opened, and Fu Qingxi flew down from the hatch.

His target was precisely that group of the Third Prince's personal guards.

"My... My Lord!!!" Seeing the furious arrival, the Hook-nosed man and the one-eyed girl were both panicked.

"My Lord, no!"

Amidst the screams, a blade reflecting a chilling gleam rapidly magnified in the girl's single eye.

Pfft!

The girl was decapitated, blood spraying out.

A thick, bloody smell permeated the air.

Fu Qingxi paid no heed, his figure faster than lightning, weaving among these Astral Rank martial artists.

Almost every strike claimed a fresh life.

At this moment, the speed of Astral Rank martial artists was like a crawling turtle to Fu Qingxi.

Swish swish swish!!

Under the almost exploding, horrified gazes of these personal guard martial artists,

Fu Qingxi killed them all, one by one, with his blade.

None survived.

Most of them hadn't even reacted before the battle was over.

They died!

Against a Cosmic-level martial artist, even the strongest Astral Rank would be defeated.

Putting away his Battle Blade, Fu Qingxi forcefully suppressed the anger in his chest, even his breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

"Now, this is just collecting a little interest!"

Fu Qingxi floated above the pool of blood, looking at the scattered corpses. He didn't feel much pleasure from revenge, but rather a sense of what was deserved.

As the Dragon's Breath Captain, the most elite of the Jingji Garrison, Fu Qingxi was never one to be indecisive.

Killing these people only slightly dissipated the anger in Fu Qingxi's heart.

For him, until the Third Prince was killed, there would always be an insurmountable obstacle in his heart.

Fu Qingxi knew this very well.

Chen Fan knew it even better.

So he would help Fu Qingxi accomplish this.

At the same time, Chen Fan was very curious about the strength of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's Third Prince.

Not only the Third Prince, but also the other two mysterious princes mentioned by Yaso, Chen Fan was equally interested.

Whether Chen Fan had become a Cosmic-level martial artist or not, his interest in such talented individuals was never low.

"Let's go, Qingxi, we're going to the next place!"

As Fu Qingxi was in a daze, Chen Fan's voice rang out, pulling him back directly.

"Mm!"

At Chen Fan's call, the Dragon's Breath Captain quickly regained clarity.

With his strong will honed by years of fighting monsters, he naturally recovered quickly.

"It's alright, we'll kill the Third Prince sooner or later to avenge you!"

"At that time, we'll beat him up together, so much that even his parents won't recognize him!"

"Count me in, I'm super good at punching!"

"..."

In the private chat channel, everyone was comforting Fu Qingxi.

"Understood, thank you all, I'm much better now!"

With their comfort, Fu Qingxi's mood improved greatly.

"Let's go, we'll continue towards the core. Hopefully, there will be good treasures there!"

...The twelve ostentatious D-class universe spaceships once again appeared in the ten-thousand-meter high altitude of the World Lord World, breaking through the clouds and advancing.

And this time, their destination was precisely the core of the World Lord World.
