Chapter 278: Attacking Emerald Pavilion (2)

Everyone behind him stared forward. Emerald Pavilion was a famous building in the capital; it was majestic and beautiful like a paradise.

“Follow me.” Xu Jingming had long gathered sufficient details and was too familiar with his surroundings. He led the people along the alley and made several turns.

They came close in about five minutes.

“We shall jump over the courtyard wall in front of us, charge across this restaurant, and storm our way into Emerald Pavilion,” Xu Jingming said. “We have to ensure that our plundering of Emerald Pavilion is done within ten minutes.”

Only one or two Blood Rain Guard teams would arrive within ten minutes; they posed no threat. But as time dragged on, the number of Blood Rain Guards that arrived increased exponentially! This was because reinforcements were sent from every direction!

“Move out!” With Xu Jingming’s order, he led the crowd and charged out. Beside him were three Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms, who were also the strongest in the team! Behind them were 60 first-rate experts, while Liu Hai and Tu Ling led 100 second-rate experts at the back.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

This restaurant beside Emerald Pavilion occupied a large area and enjoyed great business, but when a large number of ghostly figures streaked across the sky and flashed a few times before going beyond the restaurant and heading straight for Emerald Pavilion, the customers and guards in the restaurant cowered in fear.

“These people are targeting Emerald Pavilion.”

“There’s actually someone in the capital who dares to attack Emerald Pavilion?” The people in the restaurant found it unbelievable.

“Enemy inbound!”

There were black-shirted guards everywhere in Emerald Pavilion. At the same time, there were hidden mechanisms and traps in the periphery. The entire capital knew that Emerald Pavilion could be considered both the most dangerous and safest place.

It was most dangerous for enemies! If the enemy dared to storm into Emerald Pavilion, they would be courting death.

It was safest for customers! Emerald Pavilion would do anything to ensure the safety of its customers.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The three Lv. 8 experts beside Xu Jingming quickly released their concealed weapons and destroyed the critical components of the traps in front of them, crippling them.

A Lv. 8 expert’s mental strength was a force to be reckoned with. When it spread out, it could reach a radius of at least 1,000 meters, so it could naturally cover the area around Emerald Pavilion, giving them intelligence of all the mechanisms and traps there.

This is the terrifying mental strength of a Lv. 8 expert, Xu Jingming thought. But compared to Dean Ming from Martial Academy… Dean Ming’s mental strength doesn’t exert any pressure, but it’s like an ocean that embraces everyone, making it impossible for anyone to resist. Moreover, the range is ridiculously large. A 20-kilometer area around Martial Academy is enveloped, and this is only when Dean Ming wishes to do so. It’s unlike in battle, where it’s constantly emitted.

As Xu Jingming thought to himself, he didn’t take any concrete actions as the leader. The three Lv. 8 experts beside him led many first-rate experts and charged out.

“Screech!” A bugle arrow soared into the sky.

“Block them.” The surrounding black-shirted guards rushed over, and the cyan-shirted guards closest to them also rushed over. However, they vaguely felt that something was amiss. This was because there were many traps surrounding Emerald Pavilion, yet the enemies had easily rushed over without activating any traps.

Pfft!

Rip.

Blood splattered as the experts on Xu Jingming’s side slaughtered the black-shirted guards and cyan-shirted guards.

The guards at Emerald Pavilion were top elites—there were about 700 of them, and they were mainly second-rate experts. Moreover, their core members were first-rate experts. Such strength was enough to be considered elite.

Furthermore, Emerald Pavilion’s daily income would be transferred to the bank. Emerald Pavilion didn’t hold much cash, so logically speaking, plundering it wasn’t highly cost-effective.

“What?”

“Why are these enemies so strong?”

“Are they all first-rate experts?” The second-rate experts guarding Emerald Pavilion felt despair as they were completely crushed! The entire formation instantly collapsed, and they were killed one after another!

The first-rate expert from Emerald Pavilion was also in despair and disbelief. “A super expert?”

First-rate experts were instantly overwhelmed!

The first wave from Emerald Pavilion were five first-rate experts and about 100 second-rate experts. What was the outcome when they clashed with three super experts and 61 first-rate experts? In thirty seconds, only three people retreated and escaped when they saw that the situation was going south. The others were all killed, and blood stained the ground.

This is what it means to be a super expert. Moreover, their actual combat bonus is at least 30×. Xu Jingming had witnessed the strength of the three big shots, and nobody could stop their advance.

In a one-on-one battle, a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform needed a few moves to deal with Emerald Pavilion’s first-rate experts. However, this wasn’t a one-on-one battle—this was a brawl!

Xu Jingming’s side was too elite! This level of elites was comparable to the experts in the palace, so it was natural for a one-sided massacre to take place.

The guards on this side of Emerald Pavilion were finished in less than 30 seconds. Only three people escaped, and the others were wiped out!

Xu Jingming and the others charged into Emerald Pavilion like ghosts.

“Ahhh.”

“This is?”

“Something big has happened!” The people in Emerald Pavilion—be it the officials, nobles, courtesans, guards, or manservants—were stunned. They watched as the mighty group of people charged into the three main buildings of Emerald Pavilion.

The three main buildings were connected through a suspended corridor. Under the corridor was an aquatic stage.

Pu! Pu! Pu! 

Xu Jingming and the other experts rushed in.

There were also cyan-shirted guards and concealed guards who attacked, but what greeted them was a cruel massacre! The people spearheading Xu Jingming’s team were all super experts and first-rate experts. With their teamwork, who could fend them off?
