79: Raven Squad

"Good!"

Wang Ledian roared, holding his shield and charging forward.

"Clang—"

The long saber collided with the shield, producing a deafening metallic crash.

Wang Ledian felt a massive force transmit from the shield, making his arm numb and forcing him back several steps.

Although Wang Ledian had an SSS-Rank Spirit Seed, he was only at the first Rank.

Facing the black-faced man with third-Rank combat power, he struggled greatly.

"Haha, die!"

The black-faced man also felt the recoil, but he didn't care and swung his saber again.

As Wang Ledian raised his shield to block, Li Hongyang also rushed over.

The huge spiked club smashed towards the black-faced man's head.

The black-faced man quickly raised his sword to parry.

Just then, two streams of light suddenly flashed from the side, aiming directly for the black-faced man's face.

"Pfft—"

The black-faced man, unable to defend against multiple attacks, was pierced by the star ray shuttle before he could dodge.

His vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

The scene fell into a brief silence.

"Holy crap..."

Wang Big Hammer's mouth hung open, his face full of disbelief.

The black-faced man, who had consumed the Blood-Burning Pill, possessed third-Rank combat power.

He was killed in just a few moves?

This world was too crazy!

"Captain!!!"

"It's over, it's over..."

Seeing their captain fall in battle, the Blood Wolf Gang members, who had just rekindled hope, collapsed again.

"You're killing me with laughter! Such a grand Aura, for this??"

"Haha, he must have taken fake Chi Yao!"

"I think so too..."

Seeing this scene, the Blazing Lion Adventurer Group's morale soared.

They swarmed forward, quickly eliminating the remaining enemies... After the battle ended.

The Blazing Lion Adventurer Group gathered around Lin Xingyu and his companions.

"Thank you all so much!"

"If it weren't for your help, we would all have perished here today."

Wang Big Hammer walked up to them and said sincerely.

"Yes, thanks to you!"

"Our Blazing Lion Adventurer Group owes you a favor!"

The other members also chimed in, their gazes filled with gratitude.

"It was just a small matter, no need to be polite."

Lin Xingyu waved his hand.

"We still need to go back and rest, so we won't bother you any longer."

"If you encounter any trouble, you can come to the Blazing Lion Adventurer Group; we will do our best to help!"

Wang Big Hammer cupped his hands and left with his team members.

He ignored the scattered spoils of war on the ground.

Although many of them were killed by the Blazing Lion Adventurer Group, they did not collect them.

It was clearly left for Lin Xingyu and his companions as a token of gratitude.

"Brother Yu, they have good character."

Watching the Blazing Lion Adventurer Group leave, Wang Ledian whispered.

"Hmm, indeed."

"The Blazing Lion Adventurer Group has a good reputation in Starfall City; otherwise, we wouldn't have saved them."

Lin Xingyu nodded.

If it had been the Barren Alliance or the Li Family, he would have definitely killed them all.

The group began to clean up the battlefield.

They had killed many enemies this time and gained a lot... Meanwhile, not far from Lin Xingyu and his companions.

Several figures were hidden in the dense tree canopy, holding their breath, not daring to move.

They were the Dark Raven Squad, affiliated with the Li Family of Starfall City.

They had previously been ordered by the Li Family's Young Lord to capture Li Hongyang.

Their captain's spirit seed was a crow, capable of tracking enemies from a long distance.

When Lin Xingyu and his companions were observing earlier, they had already been targeted.

No one paid attention to a crow in a tree.

The Dark Raven Squad already knew about the Li Family being razed.

According to the news from the Family, Lin Xingyu and his companions were just a front; there was someone else behind the scenes.

But the Dark Raven Squad dared not take risks.

They had been hiding far behind, monitoring the group through the crow.

Just now, Lin Xingyu and his companions were discovered by the Blood Wolf Gang.

The Dark Raven Squad thought their Opportunity had come, and they quickly approached, ready to pick up the scraps.

However, as soon as they arrived nearby, they saw the scene before them.

The Blood Wolf Gang was completely annihilated, and Lin Xingyu and his companions were unharmed.

"Are they really first-year students?"

"The intelligence is wrong; this is not a team of our Rank that can deal with them!"

"Captain, what should we do now?"

"First, hide, and we'll retreat after they leave."

...Lin Xingyu, who was cleaning up the battlefield, suddenly noticed several information boxes on a tree canopy not far away.

"Name: Li Chen"

"Rank: Second Rank Seven Stars"

"spirit seed: Shadow Crow (E-Rank)"

..."Remarks: Captain of the Li Family's Dark Raven Squad, skilled in stealth and assassination, extremely loyal to the Li Family."

"Chi Yao, aim in that direction and fire a burst!"

Seeing that they were Li Family members, Lin Xingyu gestured to Wang Chiyao.

"Okay!"

Wang Chiyao picked up her gatling gun and unleashed a barrage of bullets in that direction.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!"

"Run!"

The expressions of the few people changed drastically, and they all jumped down from the tree, fleeing into the distance.

Just then, a huge Dragon Hawk suddenly swooped down from the sky, attacking the group.

It was Lin Xingyu's pet.

The Dragon Hawk's Rank was now comparable to Lin Xingyu's, and its combat power was quite good.

The Dark Raven Squad quickly raised their weapons to block.

As soon as they raised their weapons, they saw two streams of light approaching... At the same time.

Outside Starfall City, in Falling Phoenix Valley.

"Aunt Feng, did you remember incorrectly?"

Su Yingxue looked at the empty cave before her and asked in her mind.

She had searched here for most of the day but still hadn't found the spatial rift that Aunt Feng mentioned.

"This is the right place; there are still spatial fluctuations remaining, so someone must have gotten here first!"

"Then we..."

Su Yingxue's mood was a little down.

She cultivated desperately to obtain the nirvana stone and improve her strength.

To surpass Lin Xingyu and Wang Chiyao.

Su Yingxue didn't know what Rank Lin Xingyu's new spirit seed was.

But she knew that Wang Chiyao, like herself, also had an a-rank spirit seed.

She had no advantage.

"Xiaoxue, I have an alternative plan, but..."

Aunt Feng's voice was hesitant.

She could understand Su Yingxue's feelings, but that place was indeed dangerous.

Of course, danger also came with Opportunity.

"But what? Aunt Feng, tell me quickly!"

Su Yingxue stomped her foot in urgency.

"That is a dangerous place; with your current strength, you could easily perish there."

"However, there are also many Opportunities there, enough to raise your spirit seed to SSS-Rank."

"Originally, I wanted to tell you when you were strong enough, but now it seems..."

"Whether to go or not, you decide."

Hearing this, Su Yingxue hesitated.

It was so dangerous this time.

Before she went, should she meet that guy?

...Secret Realm No. 4399.

Lin Xingyu and his companions had already finished cleaning up the battlefield.

The Dark Raven Squad specialized in stealth and assassination.

In a direct confrontation, they were no match for Lin Xingyu and his companions.

In just a few minutes, they were all annihilated.

At this time, a large number of evolution fruits had formed in his Inner World again.

"Haha, this is the real harvest!"

"evolution fruits, here I come!"
