Chapter 1539 - 1533: The Outcome of the Annihilation (Part 1)
Chapter 1539: Chapter 1533: The Outcome of the Annihilation (Part 1)
Once both sides started a firefight, they’d basically have no way to gain the upper hand.
But luckily, they had the Dragon King.
The Dragon King moved extremely fast.
Before the other side even had time to react.
He’d already taken out one of their Innate Middle Stage Peak experts.
Instant kill?
No!
It should’ve been five or six moves.
Plus the sudden ambush, that’s how he finished him.
From an outsider’s point of view, it looked like a one-shot kill.
It was just that his speed was too fast.
In a flash, he shattered the enemy’s psychological defense line.
They were even terrified by then.
They also recognized the Dragon King.
Honestly, they’d always thought the Dragon King was strong, but never imagined he was this strong.
Then came a full-on melee.
In the end, the enemy was almost completely wiped out by them.
They did have people injured, but the injuries weren’t too serious.
This was actually beyond what they had expected.
They had thought at least quite a few of them would die.
After all, the enemy’s strength was that strong too.
Once someone went in with a death wish, they’d definitely be able to drag a few of them down with them.
What they didn’t expect was.
The Dragon King was just too awesome.
Or rather, downright terrifying.
And in the end, there wasn’t even a speck of dust or any damage visible on him.
Just now I said they didn’t completely wipe them out.
That’s because two Innate Middle Stage experts managed to escape.
Strictly speaking, they escaped with serious injuries.
Afterwards, their realm would definitely drop.
Nothing could be done about that!
Too many people.
The fight was too chaotic.
And those two were too cunning.
They never fought them head-on, plus they were familiar with their own lair.
They slipped out through side paths.
Even the Dragon King couldn’t help that.
In the enemy base, they also found quite a few heavy weapons.
Of course, all of that was confiscated by the Dragon King.
The four families had no objections.
Setting aside whether they needed those things or not.
Huaxia has clear rules.
Weapons and such cannot be privately owned.
Even if you’re one of the four major families, that still doesn’t work.
If you’re not a law-enforcement department, you absolutely don’t have that authority, no exceptions.
Of course, whether they have some hidden away in secret.
That’s something nobody really knows.
But to outsiders, they definitely do.
There were also some heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
No one knew where the enemy got them from.
The Dragon King directly took half of those.
The four families divided up the rest.
As for this division, the four families didn’t have the slightest objection.
In this era, the strong are revered.
Not to mention, he has an official background.
If it hadn’t been for the Dragon King today.
They wouldn’t just have had trouble wiping out the enemy, a lot of the enemy would’ve also escaped.
Even if they did manage to annihilate the enemy, their own casualties would’ve been horrific.
But wiping out the enemy was frankly too difficult.
This was also something they hadn’t foreseen beforehand.
You have to know, based on the enemy’s previous strength.
They had a total of eight Innate Middle Stage and eight Innate Early Stage.
One of them had already been heavily injured by Lin Xi.
So the ones still capable of fighting were only seven Innate Middle Stage and eight Innate Early Stage.
The four families.
Each one sent out three Innate Middle Stage, for a total of twelve Innate Middle Stage.
Then each sent four Innate Early Stage, sixteen Innate Early Stage in all.
Adding that up, whether in Innate Early Stage or Innate Middle Stage, their overall strength was far above the enemy’s.
They just hadn’t expected the enemy still had an Innate Middle Stage Peak expert.
This kind of person, if placed in an era with abundant Spiritual Qi, might have already broken through to Innate Late Stage.
So you can see, even though they were both Innate Middle Stage, he was much stronger than the rest.
In addition, they had some people.
All equipped with hot weapons.
While the four families couldn’t mobilize a huge number of people.
Basically, only Innate experts were sent.
Otherwise, the enemy would’ve detected them early and fled.
You really have to say it again, the Dragon King is too powerful.
Simply terrifying.
And he didn’t bring anyone with him.
He went alone.
According to Lin Hao’s estimate, the Dragon King alone tied down almost half of the enemy’s total strength.
It was precisely because of this.
They were able to wipe out the enemy with only two men escaping.
Otherwise, it definitely wouldn’t have been just two that got away.
Those two that escaped have already been put on a nationwide wanted list.
And all surveillance systems and intel personnel have been mobilized to find any trace of them.
Once they’re discovered and they strike again.
Then there’s no way those two are getting away.
To be honest, whether they can be found or not, they’re not all that worried anymore.
Two Innate Middle Stage.
For any of the families, they’re basically no longer a major threat.
As for whether those two would attack some of the four families’ external personnel.
The four families dismissed that.
Once those two show themselves again, it’ll be very hard for them to escape a second time.
This lifetime, they’re probably stuck with going into hiding under new identities.
Unless their strength rises again.
For example, if one of them breaks through to Innate Late Stage?
But is that even possible?
Right now the two have already fallen from Innate Middle Stage down to Innate Early Stage.
Just to recover back to Innate Middle Stage, who knows how many years that would take.
They might not even get the chance.
After a fall, breaking through again is actually much harder than the first time you broke through.
As for this matter, Lin Xi didn’t pay it much attention.
It doesn’t really have anything to do with him.
Or rather, among the four major families, the only one he really cares about is Lin Hao.
After all, that’s his father-in-law.
And he also now had a clear measure of the Dragon King’s strength.
Five or six moves to kill an Innate Middle Stage Peak expert.
That?
Was that his full strength?
Or only part of it?
On this point, since Lin Xi hadn’t personally witnessed the Dragon King making a move, he couldn’t analyze it.
But one thing was certain.
In terms of raw strength, the Dragon King seems much stronger than him.
Because for him to kill an Innate Middle Stage Peak expert in five or six moves would be very difficult.
And there was one more thing.
Which was also an important reason Lin Hao called.
Or you could say, the main reason.
That was to thank Lin Xi.
For rescuing disciples of three families inside the Secret Realm.
Even though it wasn’t directly connected with the Xu family.
Indirectly, Lin Xi still played a huge role.
Because of that, the Xu family joined the other three in thanking Lin Xi.
Besides, Lin Xi is definitely worth befriending.
Such a young Innate Late Stage, with an unknown background.
But one thing is sure, his background has to be terrifying.
Otherwise, there’s no way you could train such a powerful young expert.
Their thanks aren’t just lip service.
Lin Hao said the four families’ thank-you gifts will be delivered tomorrow.
All of it is part of the four families’ accumulation over hundreds of years.
When Lin Hao said that, Lin Xi could feel his voice trembling a bit.
It sounded like he was extremely reluctant.
Or maybe, heartbroken.
On this, Lin Xi was actually a little excited.
He’s almost out of pills.
He needs to restock.
If the four families give him some heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
He can start Alchemy again.
Plus, he still has a lot of the Ginseng King’s Life Essence.
Add that in and the medicinal effect will absolutely skyrocket.
If you talk about pill grades, they’ll definitely go up one or two tiers.
And also, should he add some Dragon Marrow?
He was thinking about that!
