Novel Full Chapter 630: Trapped and Counter-Trapped
Liu Shi stared in shock at the scene. “You… how did you become so strong!”
Zhan Tian, however, was checking his own Merit Points. The gain of one hundred and ninety billion Merit Points was far from satisfying his appetite.
“Captain, request more Scavengers!” Zhan Tian said calmly.
Liu Shi glanced at his team members who were still locked in a fierce struggle with the Black Bear Monster, on the verge of finally taking it down. Then he looked back at the calm and composed Zhan Tian.
He sensed the immense potential of this group.
He had also heard that Zhan Tian was also a disciple of Master Seven Stars. Could it be that Master Seven Stars was not only a master of artifact refining, but also a master of combat? How else could he have taught such outstanding disciples?
Liu Shi requested more Scavengers for combat from the higher-ups.
Soon, two Scavengers were allocated.
This time, Liu Shi stood to the side, observing to see if Zhan Tian could handle two at once.
Zhan Tian merely took a single step, his figure flickering between the two Scavengers.
By the time he turned around, he was already holding his spoils in hand.
Liu Shi’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. This combat power was simply too terrifying!
At that moment, the others on the other side also finished off the Black Bear Monster.
Lin Feng slew the Black Bear Monster, and his comprehension of the Chaos Slaughter Dao immediately surged a significant amount, a very fruitful harvest.
Zhou Hao used his Devouring Power to plunder a portion of the power origin from the Scavenger, his strength also increasing a notch.
Xuan Huang stood firm as a mountain, his willpower tempered under the Scavenger’s assault.
The others all gained something, more or less.
Seeing this, Liu Shi hesitated no longer and once again requested more Scavengers from the War Regiment.
The higher-ups of the War Regiment had also taken notice of the situation here and had already cast their attention this way.
This time, a full five Scavengers were allocated.
Liu Shi immediately engaged one first. Two Scavengers were suppressed by Xuan Huang, Zhou Hao followed up, withstanding the attacks, while the others swiftly attacked.
Zhan Tian’s sword slashed through the remaining two Scavengers, dealing with them with exceptional ease.
After finishing them, he casually dealt with Liu Shi’s opponent as well.
Seeing this situation, how could the higher-ups fail to realize Zhan Tian’s astonishing strength? They immediately extended an invitation to him, transferring him to fight elsewhere.
Zhan Tian gladly accepted.
Thus, Zhan Tian left Liu Shi’s Squad and entered the core team of the Sand Dunes Battle Group.
Within the core team, Zhan Tian remained the strongest Dominator. His Destructive Power seemed like a Great Dao born specifically to counter the Scavengers, and his efficiency in killing them was extremely fast!
In just a short while, over three thousand more Scavengers fell beneath Zhan Tian’s sword. His total Merit Points reached one quadrillion, nine hundred trillion!
He had already earned two Kalpa units’ worth of Merit Points.
Zhan Tian directly spent these Merit Points, exchanging them for Chaos Jade to enhance his Life-bound Chaos.
Zhan Tian’s origin realm immediately rose, rapidly climbing to the level of the thirty-third order.
This realm was still far from the forty-ninth order true intent comprehension he sought, but it had already reached the level of the Deputy City Lord of Black Flame City.
Just as Zhan Tian wanted to continue killing enemies.
At the center of the battlefield, the Old City Lord was sent flying like a spinning top.
“Retreat!”
The Old City Lord shouted.
All the soldiers and War Regiment members retreated with practiced efficiency.
The Old City Lord charged back in, trading a single blow with the four high-order Scavengers that had appeared, buying a little more time.
The army and War Regiment personnel quickly withdrew to the city walls.
The Old City Lord also managed to escape back to the city, though at the cost of losing both his legs.
The first clash ended.
The result was the Old City Lord being severely wounded. However, Black Flame City’s side had also taken advantage of the opportunity to eliminate three hundred thousand Scavengers, at the cost of losing ten thousand Dominators. This was already considered a great victory.
“City Lord, are you alright?”
The three Deputy City Lords hurried over.
The Old City Lord waved his hand, taking out a precious Nothingness Spiritual Plant and consuming it.
His originally vanished legs and depleted origin were slowly recovering.
At this moment, the four high-order Scavengers, seeing their own side’s massive losses, were also furious and launched another assault on Black Flame City.
This time, the four high-order Scavengers split up, each leading one hundred and forty thousand Scavengers to launch a sustained assault from the four directions of the city wall.
Jia Jicheng said, “City Lord, the Scavengers have split their attack!”
The Old City Lord’s eyes flickered. “They’ve fallen into our trap! With their attack dispersed, Black Flame City’s defensive effectiveness actually increases. We can also look for opportunities to eliminate them one by one.”
“City Lord, what do we do next?”
“Wait! Wait for me to recover!” the Old City Lord said.
He added seriously, “When the time comes, I’ll find a way to deal with one of the forty-fifth order high-order Scavengers. Your task will be to hold off the attacks from the other three sides!”
Everyone nodded gravely.
The Old City Lord checked Black Flame City’s origin reserves. In just this period of time, the origin reserves had already dropped by one percent. Never mind how long they could hold out; the key was that every second consumed was a massive amount of Chaos Jade and Chaos Origin!
The Old City Lord thought no more and immediately accelerated his physical recuperation.
The situation was barely holding, but he feared unexpected developments.
After a while, the Old City Lord finished his recuperation, and his vanished legs had also regenerated. He checked the origin reserves again; in this period, the reserves had dropped another two percent.
The Old City Lord took a deep breath and went to the city wall.
Looking out, soldiers on the wall were exchanging blows with the Scavengers’ attacks.
The Scavengers’ attacks were endless. The soldiers could only disperse half of them; the remaining half continued to assail Black Flame City’s defenses.
Although they couldn’t break the defenses, they continuously drained Black Flame City’s origin reserves.
The Old City Lord observed and found that the aura of the high-order Scavenger on the eastern side was the weakest among the four.
Thus, he decided to make his move against it.
The Old City Lord immediately arranged the countermeasures, then left the city once more, heading straight for that Scavenger.
His speed was extreme, and he quickly found that high-order Scavenger.
The Old City Lord expanded his domain, dragging that high-order Scavenger into battle.
Originally, the Old City Lord intended to finish the fight quickly.
However, the moment the Old City Lord made contact with this high-order Scavenger, another high-order Scavenger materialized out of thin air around them—and it was the strongest, forty-sixth order Scavenger!
“What?!” The Old City Lord’s expression changed. Sensing something was wrong, he immediately retreated.
Yet, at that moment, that strongest Scavenger actually took out an item, releasing a ring of light that enveloped all three of them within.
The Old City Lord crashed into the light barrier, unable to leave!
He had been trapped by the Scavengers’ scheme!
“You’ve fallen into our trap!” that Scavenger said coldly.
This made the Old City Lord’s face darken. A high-intelligence Scavenger had come this time, and he had taken a tumble.
Without him holding the fort, could Black Flame City withstand the assault of the remaining two high-order Scavengers?
“You should worry about yourself first!” This Scavenger saw right through the Old City Lord’s thoughts and spoke calmly.
