409: Chapter 409 Break Out

Han Jingyang was someone who had seen the world.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was also a god of slaughter who had killed countless people, a ruthless man who viewed human life as mere grass.

However, being surrounded by over two hundred such people still chilled his heart.

If the birth of these "gods" was based on the sacrifice of a living person, then how many people had Liu Cheng and his group murdered?

Looking at the faces and figures of these "gods," most were young adults, women, and children; there were relatively few elderly people.

Moreover, this batch of "gods" was clearly stronger and more goal-oriented, far more formidable than the group at the village entrance.

If those at the village entrance were ordinary villagers, then these were elite soldiers.

Monk Kongyun also panicked: "Mr. Han, what should we do?"

Han Jingyang took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart: "What else can we do? We fight our way out, of course."

"Fight?"

"Yes, haven't you encountered this kind of existence before?"

"I have, but I've never seen them so clearly. Usually, I need to activate my True Form to sense their presence."

"It doesn't matter. There's no difference when it comes to killing them. Use all your methods, don't hold back. If anything goes wrong, think about your master..."

Monk Kongyun nodded, swung his Zen staff, and rushed out, while simultaneously shouting a single word: "Om—"

In the eyes of Han Jingyang's trio, a golden ripple expanded from Monk Kongyun's mouth. Wherever the golden ripple passed, the "gods" surrounding them began to tremble as if struck by electricity.

Meanwhile, Monk Kongyun swung his Zen staff in a wide arc and smashed down.

*Pfft—*

One strike, one kill.

For a moment, Monk Kongyun was like Lu Zhishen reborn, brandishing his Zen staff with invincible might.

Han Jingyang nodded to Shi Xiaoya and quickly followed. At the same time, he performed hand seals and incantations to activate several skills in succession—all were auxiliary types and one-time Rank 7 consumables. He didn't feel any regret using so many.

Then, he also unsheathed a yanling saber and charged forward.

This yanling saber was only Rank 6.

But its attributes were perfectly suited for the situation.

Evil-Warding +5.

It also had a fairly good skill: Going to the Meeting with a Single Saber.

The effect of this skill was somewhat special. When holding the saber, both intimidation and combat power would be increased to a certain extent.

So, even though he hadn't studied saber techniques, his combat power was not bad.

Combined with other auxiliary skills and his powerful physical fitness, he was now an expert.

Most importantly, the "Evil-Warding" attribute of this saber was very effective.

Ordinary weapons were almost useless against these "gods," dealing no damage with a strike.

But with the Evil-Warding attribute, it was different.

A single slash was like a red-hot knife cutting through butter, instantly dealing extremely high damage.

Attribute suppression.

Not to mention that the buffs he just added were also of the Evil-Warding type, specifically designed to counter these ghosts and gods, so even Shi Xiaoya could cut through them like vegetables.

Besides the three of them, there were also the special existences of the Chaotian Temple and the Bridal Gown Woman.

Whether they were ordinary villagers or elite soldiers, they were all just a single sword strike away from death before the Chaotian Temple.

Thus, the three who were at a numerical disadvantage and had been startled initially presented a different picture once they entered the fray—invincible and unstoppable, with almost no one able to withstand a single move.

With the addition of the Chaotian Temple and the Bridal Gown Woman, their group broke through the encirclement in a single assault.

Although these "gods" quickly surrounded them again, refusing to retreat even in death, it was still difficult to cause them any harm or even slow their pace.

Meanwhile.

Liu Cheng and Huang Jianshe, who had "fled," were watching the battle from different locations.

Liu Cheng sat on a sofa, staring intently at the monitor in front of him, his palms clenched tightly as he occasionally barked orders into a headset.

"Surround them!"

"Hurry, don't worry about anything else, just keep them surrounded."

"Wear them down to death. We have plenty of those things. If they all die, we'll just cultivate more. Our techniques are becoming more mature anyway."

"Don't be afraid, I still have a trump card."

"That bastard Huang Jianshe has his own hidden agenda and is no longer trustworthy. He's just like his brother. The organization spent so much to cultivate the two of them, but they turned out to be ungrateful wolves. Otherwise, with the dharma instruments embezzled by Black Vajra and Huang Jianyong in hand, what would Han Jingyang be?"

"Don't worry about where Huang Jianshe went. Whether he leaves or not won't affect the big picture. As long as we take down Han Jingyang and Monk Kongyun, what does Huang Jianshe matter?"

"A god created using Han Jingyang will definitely be extremely strong. At that time, even if I'm not number one in the world, I'll become a truly top-tier expert and enter the highest level of the organization. You all will benefit immensely as well."

"Keep wearing them down. No matter how strong they are, they're still flesh and blood. They'll get tired, hungry, and thirsty. We'll win once their physical energy is exhausted."

"I've also hidden a trump card. Hehe, it's hidden among that cannon fodder. Striking suddenly at the critical moment will surely deal Han Jingyang a heavy blow."

Huang Jianshe, whom Liu Cheng looked down upon, was also sitting on a sofa staring at a screen.

However, Huang Jianshe had completely shed his previous submissive image. His eyes were sharp and his aura was imposing. Although he still wore tattered clothes, he seemed like a different person.

A young girl with an excellent figure and appearance stood behind Huang Jianshe, massaging him while asking softly, "Hall Master, should we make a move?"

"No, wait a bit longer. Although Liu Cheng is a fool, he's not so foolish that he wouldn't leave himself a backup plan."

"But if we wait any longer, those gods that were so hard to create will be wiped out. Han Jingyang and his group are too powerful."

"They're just cannon fodder. If they're gone, they're gone. As long as we have the god-making technology, we can have as much cannon fodder as we want."

"Hall Master, Han Jingyang isn't that easy to deal with. The Council of Elders emphasized again yesterday that we should avoid provoking him if possible. If it's unavoidable, we should strive to minimize losses and prioritize survival, avoiding direct conflict with him."

Huang Jianshe gave a cold laugh. "I'm not stupid. Isn't that fool Liu Cheng taking the lead? Although Liu is a fool, his years of accumulation shouldn't be underestimated. If he can hurt or even severely wound Han Jingyang, we'll enter the fray immediately to clean up the mess. If things look bad, we can retreat at any time. When I retreated just now, I cut off all possibility of being tracked. Even Han Jingyang can't hope to catch us."

At this point, his gaze suddenly sharpened. "They're almost worn down. Liu Cheng is about to make his move."

At the battle scene.

Han Jingyang and the other two could see the surrounding situation clearly.

The so-called "gods" that others couldn't observe with the naked eye were like living people in their eyes; every movement and even the expressions on their faces couldn't escape them.

Therefore, Han Jingyang had long noticed several special existences among the crowd of "gods." These few looked very fierce, and the concentration of Qi on them was clearly extremely high, yet they had been slacking off on the periphery. It was very suspicious.

Seeing that this group of manufactured "gods" was about to be wiped out by the three of them, those stronger ones finally made a move, stealthily closing in on him while hiding among the other "gods."

Attrition?

Sneak attack?

A well-calculated plan.

Looking at Shi Xiaoya and Monk Kongyun, they indeed showed signs of fatigue, and their combat power had dropped significantly compared to the beginning.

Even his own physical stamina had decreased quite a bit.

They really damn well know how to seize an opportunity!
