Chapter 706: Chapter 277: Master Jin Shex, Utterly Defenseless
This day!
Unlike most Lords, who were gathered around the stove, watching the drifting snow.
The Lords of the Top-Level Regions were all probing into one thing!
When will Wealthiest in the World, who is also ranked second in the world, finally be dethroned?
No Lord doubted Shenxiao’s strength.
The Demon Race Lords were hoping Shenxiao would fail.
The Demon Race looked down on Yi Tian too, but they didn’t want Shenxiao to gain the wealth of the second in the world.
Even the Divine Race was feeling conflicted, their hearts unbalanced!
Some Lords regretted it. If they’d known, they would’ve grabbed with four billion Celestial Dao Coins, betting bigger.
They never expected that a moment’s hesitation — not even refusing outright — and Shan Hai had already sold the Territorial Teleportation Talisman to Shenxiao.
As if he was desperate to make a move!
But those non-Top-tier Celestial Prides among the Top-level Races took joy in others’ misfortune.
This cancer, Wealthiest in the World, was finally about to be wiped out!
Soon, soon! First place on the Resource Golden List and Points Golden List is about to disappear!
A humble Human Race, how could they possibly stand on equal footing?
The most frustrated of all, though, was still Shenxiao!
Five minutes...
Ten minutes...
Half an hour...
An hour...
Three hours...
His Mercenary System was on standby, but Helian Marshal’s invitation still didn’t come.
The sky darkened, and he stood disheveled in the wind and snow.
He sent a message!
Helian Marshal didn’t reply!
He was probably still outside his territory.
The ID was still there, meaning Helian Marshal hadn’t died yet.
Shenxiao was silent...
He wasn’t naïve—he knew exactly what was happening.
Shenxiao wasn’t naïve, but Purple Phoenix Moon Dance sure was.
She kept calling for Yi Tian, but Yi Tian wasn’t replying either.
Still at her favorite attic window, watching cold wind swirl, watching the snowflakes dance...
"Spiritual Power +7."
On board the airship, with nothing to do, Yi Tian headed for a cabin, took out the Purple Ghost Lamp and went to sleep.
Current Spiritual Power: 2937.
Yi Tian slept, and soon the Little Kiddo caught his drowsiness, all crowding around him and nodding off together.
Yi Tian woke; they were still asleep.
Taking out the Celestial Dao Stone, Yi Tian checked the time.
Now it was nine o’clock at night; according to plan, in about half an hour they’d reach the Scorpio Gang’s gathering place.
Yi Tian pulled out a Dagu Realm map, powering it with a Beast Core.
Now the Dagu Realm map runs on an S-level Beast Core—there’s enough energy for twelve hours’ use.
Yi Tian watched as the airship flew into the heart of Cloud Snow Forest on the map.
As far as Yi Tian knew, the Scorpio Gang’s boss, Scorpion Fish, was mid-stage S-level.
It was this kind of power that kept them from being destroyed, despite their infamous reputation.
For Yi Tian, dealing with a one-star territory, mid-stage S-level, was a sure thing.
He just didn’t know Scorpio Gang’s reason for coming into Cloud Snow Forest.
"Reporting to Lord, President Xin says we’re less than twenty minutes from the Scorpio Gang!" Thunder Yuan announced outside Yi Tian’s cabin.
"Have Xin Qiji land the airship."
Attacking the Scorpio Gang, there was no way they could park the ship directly overhead.
Yi Tian worried the airship could get wrecked.
The party’s all-out sprint was only a bit slower than the airship itself.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The Twelve-winged Tiger Star Beasts took off from the airship.
They fired starlight, instantly flattening a swath of trees.
The airship landed!
Yi Tian woke the Little Kiddo, and stowed the airship away.
"Daddy, there’s an S-level late-stage out there, with Spiritual Power over 9000! And four mid-stage S-levels!"
Scorpio Gang was 600-plus kilometers from Yi Tian; their powers had just been spotted by Second Child.
"Late-stage S-level, four mid S-levels?"
Yi Tian’s brow furrowed—this didn’t match what he knew about Scorpio Gang!
When Yi Tian interrogated the Scorpio Gang bandits, their boss, Scorpion Fish, was only mid-stage S, far from late-stage.
With Scorpio Gang’s infamous, tyrannical reputation, if Scorpion Fish had 9000+ Spiritual Power, he’d probably dare to rob a nation.
But even late-stage S-level couldn’t make Yi Tian change his battle plan.
As long as no one had Divine Talent, the Twelve-winged Tiger Star Beasts could slaughter a whole pack of S-level late-stages.
Resolved, Yi Tian marked their positions on the map, leading Little Kiddo with Earth Bear, Yin Yang Giant Panda, and Howling Moon Silver Wolf along the east.
Li Jing led Elemental Masters and Qi Refiners, dropped to the south by the Winged Tiger Star Beasts.
Zu Ti, Guan Yu, and Yue Fei were all delivered to the north by Winged Tiger Star Beasts.
Hei Tiaobai and the S-level Body Refiners were dropped to the west by Eastsea Falcons.
Encirclement on all sides, going for the kill!
Bandits, of course, didn’t have cities.
Wherever they went, there were only basic houses.
If they decided to stay longer, they’d build lavish attics and castles.
For powerful Body Refiners and Qi Refiners, building a castle was no big deal.
The world was dead silent!
Snowflakes drifted down from the sky; in the forest, the night was still, no wind.
In the frozen darkness, the Scorpio Bandits on night watch crowded around the fire pit, half-asleep.
They didn’t realize the danger was closing in.
"Whoosh!"
Second Child signaled everyone was in position; Yi Tian eyed the direction of the firelight, drew out the Ink Dragon Treasure Bow, and loosed an arrow.
"Squelch!"
Through tree trunks, Yi Tian nailed a bandit a kilometer away, sitting by the fire.
The arrow hit so hard it blasted the B-level Warrior apart.
"Enemy attack!"
The other bandits by the fire snapped awake, jumping up and shouting.
"Clang clang clang!"
A bandit rang a golden gong, its piercing sound traveling dozens of kilometers instantly.
Yi Tian hadn’t planned on sneaking around anyway.
Once exposed, Yi Tian fired off three more arrows, killing three Scorpio Bandits.
Within seconds, the entire Scorpio Gang was roused, pouring out of houses.
At that moment, the territory’s members charged in from all directions.
The lowest Scorpio Gang fighters were C-level Warriors.
But these C-levels didn’t stand a chance against territory members.
They kept vicious beasts and raptors as pets.
One savage beast after another came bursting out of the Beast Cages, raptors soared into the sky.
In the sky: two Eastsea Falcons, two three-dimensional 4000+ Dark Night Snow Owls, twelve Winged Tiger Star Beasts, one Profound Fire Bird.
These raptors barely took flight before getting swatted down, powerless to resist.
The ferocious beasts were weak; all they could do was slow down the territory members’ attack speed.
Scorpion Fish, the boss, woke up right away too.
He didn’t act rash, just scowled and called all his deputy chiefs together.
Now shouts of killing rang from all directions, terrifying momentum rolling in with the battle.
The four-way assault was clearly intentional—they meant to wipe out Scorpio Gang.
"Boss, the enemy’s too strong—Body Refiners, Qi Refiners, Elemental Masters, savage beasts, raptors—none of our brothers can hold out at all!"
A deputy burst in, panicking as he reported to Scorpion Fish.
He’d just watched a Four-armed Race member tear an S-level beast in half with bare hands.
Brutal!
"Did you see clearly which faction is attacking us?" Scorpion Fish asked him.
"Looks like the Dao Body Race mainly, also some Four-armed Race, not sure exactly," the deputy shook his head.
"Goddammit!"
Scorpion Fish slammed a chair.
Scorpio Gang boasted one hundred thousand members, but most of them were C-level beings.
Their existence only bought a bit of time.
"Scorpion Fish, what the hell is going on?"
Two Daoist men with golden skin arrived, bringing dozens of golden-skinned kin; as soon as they saw Scorpion Fish, they started interrogating him.
"Master Jin Shex, enemies are attacking! They’re powerful—please help us!" Scorpion Fish’s mind began to race when he spotted them.
He glanced at the man next to Master Jin Shex, feeling much safer.
Scorpion Fish knew enemies lurked all over Dagu Realm; it was no surprise anyone would want him dead.
Might as well use these Outer Realm People against the foe.
"Hmph! Partnering with you—my Jin Race must be cursed!"
The man beside Master Jin Shex was unhappy.
But Scorpion Fish was thrilled; he realized the Outer Realm folk had agreed to help, quickly flattering, "Thank you, Jin Niu, thank you, Master Jin Shex!"
Now emboldened, Scorpion Fish rushed out followed by his deputy chiefs.
Jin Shex and Jin Niu strode proudly after him.
A mere One-star Territory—just showing up set them a cut above the rest.
"Fifth Child!"
Yi Tian shouted for Fifth Child, signaling her to go full blast.
There were too many cannon fodder; even using Dripstrike several times was effective, but it felt like the more he killed, the more seemed to appear.
"Awooo!"
Fifth Child summoned a Water Dragon, enormous, dozens of zhang in length.
The Water Dragon shone blue in the night, lifelike and imposing.
"Ha!"
Fifth Child hopped onto the dragon’s head, triggering Dragon Riding Trait, boosting Water Dragon Attack Power by 50%.
At this moment, Fifth Child’s Water Dragon Attack Power hit fifty-thousand; as her Spiritual Power climbed, she could keep the Water Dragon for three minutes.
When Fifth Child’s Spiritual Power and Spirit increased later, Water Dragon would become her permanent battle companion.
When thousands of bandits saw the Water Dragon, awe flooded their hearts—a compulsion to worship.
This was the Water Dragon’s Dragon’s Fury effect.
"Boom!"
The Water Dragon’s massive tail swept by, smashing a thousand bandits into pulp; fifty thousand attack power, against bandits with barely two hundred defense, left not a trace.
A few tail sweeps, and the whole woods turned crimson; ahead of Yi Tian, not a single bandit blocked the way.
All obstacles were already dead.
The moment Scorpion Fish emerged from his house and saw this, his guts almost burst.
What kind of attack is this?
King-level Attack Power?
Just looking at the Water Dragon made Scorpion Fish’s heart tremble.
He couldn’t help but glance at Jin Niu, hoping Jin Niu could handle that Water Dragon.
If not, all his men would be wiped out.
"Uh..."
Even Jin Niu’s legs wobbled.
Spiritual Power: 9200.
His SSS-level Martial Skill: Great Success.
Gold Mystery LV.11.
But his total Attack Power was only 36,000+.
He had SSS-level Spear Skill, Spear Mastery LV.11; with an SS-level Long Spear in melee, he could reach 47,000+ Attack Power.
Still not enough, apparently!
What kind of monster is this?
"Master Jin Shex, run! Head west!" Jin Niu grabbed Jin Shex, cursing Scorpion Fish’s ancestors in his heart.
What kind of idiot country partners with a bandit?
Master Jin Shex hadn’t even reacted before Jin Niu hoisted him up and bolted west.
The other Jin Race all scattered and fled too.
Damn!
Scorpion Fish’s face turned white.
Jin Niu’s actions made it clear: even the mighty Upper Domain, with Spiritual Power above 9000, couldn’t beat the attackers.
"Attack! Everyone, attack—hold them back..."
Scorpion Fish ordered his deputy chiefs.
"Boom!"
He’d barely finished when the Water Dragon beneath Fifth Child spewed Dragon Breath straight at him.
Dragon Breath exploded like a shell, detonating a few dozen meters from Scorpion Fish.
Several deputies died on the spot; Scorpion Fish, a little farther, was blasted away, crashing through a building.
