Chapter 1795 - 1798: Fear

Chapter 1795: Chapter 1798: Fear

It’s been five days since the plan began.

Xin Lifeng has been acting as the big babysitter for five days now.

He has been observing on the Dragon Group’s side for these five days.

It’s not that he’s biased, but that side doesn’t need any worrying.

The Dragon Group often won’t use a babysitter unless absolutely necessary, whether it’s because they want to save face or test their limits.

But it’s different on that side.

Over there, if things don’t work out, they call for a babysitter immediately.

So, he stays here.

"Hmm, there’s some progress!"

Xin Lifeng nodded slightly as he watched the constantly changing battle formations of the Dragon Group.

Over these five days, these warriors have been continually absorbing previous experiences, constantly challenging their limits, and now they are quite adept at dealing with Nascent Souls.

Although he thought they would eventually fall back on old ways, progress is good!

Perhaps this is his way of consoling himself.

At this moment.

A Nascent Soul suddenly ran over.

Xin Lifeng recognized this person as one of the babysitters stationed at the one hundred thousand Iron Cavalry, who would come daily to report the situation.

However, seeing him at this time, Xin Lifeng frowned: "Why have you come now? Did something happen?!"

"No, no!"

The Nascent Soul quickly waved his hand, seeming to have some difficulty calming his emotions.

"What on earth happened?!"

Xin Lifeng’s frown deepened.

Because he noticed that the expression on this Nascent Soul’s face was one of disbelief and unconcealed fear!

He was suddenly startled: "Could it be that someone at the Out-of-Body Stage took action?!"

"No, no!" The Nascent Soul waved his hand again and then forced himself to calm down: "The one hundred thousand Iron Cavalry have conquered the City Lord of the sixth target city!"

"Oh!" Xin Lifeng nodded, that’s good news!

But it’s not right!

Xin Lifeng suddenly tensed: "Are you saying they conquered it on their own?!"

"Yes, yes, exactly that, they conquered it on their own!" The Nascent Soul nodded repeatedly.

Then he took a deep breath, unable to conceal his fear any longer: "They only used eighteen people!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Lifeng was instantly dumbfounded: "Say that again!"

"They used only eighteen Golden Cores to defeat one Nascent Soul!"

The Nascent Soul babysitter said again.

His mouth was a bit dry.

He knew how Xin Lifeng felt!

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it either!

Eighteen Golden Core Stage?!

A few days ago, not even ten thousand Golden Cores could force a Nascent Soul to surrender without them stepping in.

And now, only eighteen Golden Cores were used!

Honestly, even after seeing it, he still couldn’t believe it!

And he’s just a Nascent Soul!

The City Lord could be defeated; what about him?!

Eighteen!

One hundred thousand!

Fear surged uncontrollably from the depths of his heart!

"You’re not lying to me, are you?! How is this possible?!"

Xin Lifeng was utterly incredulous.

He looked at the Dragon Group’s one hundred thousand warriors still locked in battle not far away, then thought of this person’s report, completely bewildered!

It’s not that he’s being skeptical, but it really is hard to believe!

"Alright, you stay here and watch, I’ll go have a look!"

Xin Lifeng said immediately.

Then he abruptly disappeared from the spot, heading straight for the one hundred thousand Iron Cavalry!

Eighteen Golden Cores?

Defeated a Nascent Soul?!

This is like a fairy tale!

As he thought, he rushed towards the location of the one hundred thousand Iron Cavalry at the fastest speed!

He didn’t immediately look for the one hundred thousand Iron Cavalry but went to find the babysitters.

These people should be able to provide the most direct information!

However, when he saw the same unconcealable fear on their faces as the babysitter earlier, his heart skipped a beat—it was probably true!

"What is going on exactly?!"

Xin Lifeng asked aloud.

The babysitters saw Xin Lifeng come over, and each one seemed to have found their backbone.

"It’s terrifying! Truly terrifying!"

"Eighteen Golden Cores! They used just eighteen Golden Cores to defeat that Nascent Soul!"

"Such a thing is unheard of!"

"Yeah, it’s just not something that should happen among Cultivators!"

Xin Lifeng frowned: "Tell me the details! Not asking you to sigh!"

The babysitters fell silent, and finally, it was Liu Funing, who had advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage and was the former City Lord of Funing City, who spoke up.

"At first, when they just planned to use eighteen Golden Cores, I tried to stop them because it seemed too much like a joke!"

"However, they were really persistent, so I could only go along with them!"

"The process that followed was extraordinarily simple, yes, I’m not mistaken, just simple!"

"I watched as these eighteen people entered the City Lord Mansion and met that Nascent Soul!"

"Then, they all charged forward! In just a matter of seconds, the battle was over! The Nascent Soul was being dragged out by them!"

Liu Funing explained in a surprisingly simple, or perhaps chaotic, manner!

Mainly because even seeing it, he couldn’t comprehend it!

"Alright, I understand!"

Xin Lifeng sighed!

Knowing it’s true is enough, it seems he’ll need to ask those involved for the specific details!

Without delay, still full of disbelief, he found one supposedly among the managers—Dawa.

"Boss Xin!" Dawa greeted with a quick smile upon seeing Xin Lifeng.

He’s a businessman, not knowing how to address Xin Lifeng, so he just called him Boss!

"Friend! I’ve come to ask, those eighteen..."

Xin Lifeng began to inquire.

"Oh, about that!" Dawa smiled: "I’ll get an expert to explain to you!"

Then, he gestured: "Manager Zhang, come here for a moment!"

Soon, Manager Zhang, wearing glasses, came over to greet them.

"Explain to Boss Xin our battle plan." Dawa directed.

"Alright!" Manager Zhang nodded: "Actually, this plan was mainly based on the following points."

"First, although the Nascent Soul Stage can use Instant Teleportation, it consumes a lot of energy; usually, they avoid using it unless necessary."

Xin Lifeng nodded—this is certain, such energy-intensive techniques are usually avoided even by Nascent Souls, and often by him as well.

"Second, our physical strength is stronger than the average Golden Core!" Manager Zhang continued.

"Third, the Nascent Soul Stage looks down on the Golden Core Stage; even ten or twenty of them hold no value in their eyes, creating a natural complacency towards them!"

"Thus, based on these, we summarized a strategy — as long as the battle is finished within thirty seconds, and we inject energy surpassing the opponent’s into them within this timeframe, the opponent will completely lose their combat ability!"

"So, after our experiments and deductions, eighteen is the optimal number to complete the battle when the opponent isn’t well prepared!"

Manager Zhang elaborated clearly, leaving Xin Lifeng dumbfounded!
