Chapter 2732: Clansmen
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The rock golems, combined with water-elemental creatures, could have been crushed through with sheer team strength, but it had still taken quite a bit of time.
After a moment, the group entered another grotto. After clearing the elemental creatures inside, Fang Heng once again discovered a hidden trial magic array slab in the corner of the cave.
“Found another one.”
Fang Heng said, then switched to his sacred study form and injected his mental strength into the stone slab to activate the magic array.
“Ka…”
The stone slab’s magic array mechanism was triggered, and once again, a holy trial stone rose from the ground.
“Looks like there are multiple stones. We need to gather a certain number for them to be effective.”
Fang Heng speculated, stuffing the stone into his backpack, “Let’s go, we continue.”
After that, Fang Heng simply released all of his perceptions, and whenever he sensed a holy ripple, he would follow the aura to investigate.
By the time the afternoon had passed, he had found five grottoes with magic arrays and collected five trial stones.
However, no mission hints had been triggered.
Moreover, the three of them felt as though they had been wandering in the grotto without finding an exit.
“Mr. Fang,” Tang Chuji slowed her pace and quietly reminded, “There are two groups following us, and it doesn’t seem right.”
“Mm.”
Fang Heng realized it as well.
They had encountered multiple teams along the way, but most of the time, they didn’t have any interaction. However, two teams had been following them for quite a while now.
Fang Heng stopped and turned to look behind, “Is there something you want?”
The two Shadow Alliance teams following Fang Heng and his group didn’t even attempt to hide their presence when they were noticed. Instead, they immediately closed in on the three and stared directly at Fang Heng, exuding an air of arrogance. One of them spoke in a deep voice, “Did you kill Regan?”
“So what if I did?”
Fang Heng coldly stared at the group, “Are you his companions? Here to avenge him?”
“No.” The middle-aged leader of the group, Xike, shook his head. His gaze was fixed on Fang Heng. “I don’t like that idiot Regan either. It’s his own fault for being too weak, not knowing who he could provoke and who he couldn’t. He got himself killed, no one to blame but himself.”
“Oh? Interesting. Then why are you following me?”
Xike stepped forward and extended his hand toward Fang Heng, “Nothing much. I just heard that you found some stones related to the Holy Court. Hand them over, and you can leave.”
Tch.
Fang Heng sneered inwardly.
No wonder all the evil factions have been suppressed by the Holy Court for so long. Before anything major even happens, their own people are already turning on each other.
“Heh, interesting.” Fang Heng coldly laughed. “If you really want them, come and take them yourself!”
With that, Fang Heng crouched low and charged straight at Xike.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Fang Heng appeared right in front of the enemy, his scepter swinging heavily forward!
“Boom!!!”
The Empress scepter slammed into Xike’s abdomen, sending him flying into the air with a powerful blow!
Whoosh!!!
What?
Fang Heng raised an eyebrow and looked up at the air.
The figure that was blasted away by the scepter shattered in mid-air but quickly reformed at an astonishing speed.
“Brother Fang! Be careful! He’s from the Evil Clan.”
The Evil Clan possessed a unique ability, making their bodies immune to regular physical attacks.
Xike once again restored his human form and rapidly dove toward Fang Heng from the other side.
“Whoosh!!”
Fang Heng swung his scepter again, knocking Xike away.
The group of subordinates Xike brought with him were completely caught off guard by Fang Heng’s strength. They quickly shouted, “Stop hesitating, everyone, attack together! Take him down!”
Fang Heng furrowed his brows.
Xike’s group were elites from the Evil Clan—extremely troublesome opponents.
“We should fall back,” Tang Chuji said, seeing that the battle was becoming chaotic. She quickly pulled Ji Xiaobo back, away from the battlefield.
Fang Heng’s strength was immense, but Ji Xiaobo and Tang Chuji’s abilities were limited. Staying in the battle could easily make them a target for the enemy, and they didn’t want to cause trouble for Fang Heng.
However, the Evil Clan wasn’t about to let them off so easily. They immediately pursued Tang Chuji and Ji Xiaobo.
Tang Chuji narrowed her eyes, preparing to make a move.
“Don’t!” Ji Xiaobo quickly raised his hand to stop her when he saw two members of the Evil Clan approaching. He shouted at them, “Brothers, don’t attack! We’re not with him! We’re from Old Black’s group!”
Hearing the name “Old Black,” the attackers hesitated.
“The stones are with that guy, and we only just met him. We’re not on the same side! Don’t hurt us.”
The two members of the Evil Clan exchanged a glance, believing Ji Xiaobo’s words. They stopped their attack and turned back to continue surrounding Fang Heng.
“Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!”
From behind, several mages of the Evil Clan locked onto Fang Heng’s magical presence with their spirits, and nearby, other teams from the Shadow Alliance quickly rushed to reinforce.
In an instant, dark ripples of energy surged toward Fang Heng.
Fang Heng had already attacked the Evil Clan members several times, only to find that normal physical attacks couldn’t truly eliminate them. Furthermore, he was now being disrupted by spells from the rear. Seeing more and more Shadow Alliance teams converging on him, a surge of anger began to rise within him.
“I’m done playing with them!”
Fang Heng withstood the enemy’s damage, standing firmly in place as he fixed his gaze on one of the Evil Clan members. With a raised hand, he focused his attention.
Whoosh!
The Evil Clan member, locked in Fang Heng’s intense gaze, felt his pupils suddenly constrict! His blood felt as if it were burning violently from within, and his body stiffened, unable to move a single inch!”
“Bang!!!”
The next moment, the Evil Clan member exploded into fragments on the spot.
What?!
What kind of technique was that?!
The surrounding Shadow Alliance teams, which had been gathering and preparing to act, suddenly froze in place, not daring to move.
The Evil Clan members were known for their strange resurrection abilities, but this time, there was no sign of it!
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!”
The flesh that exploded in the air quickly gathered back and returned to its human form.
Eh?
Even this couldn’t kill them?
“Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”
Several dark-element spells exploded in quick succession, striking Fang Heng with intense force.
In truth, the other members of the Evil Clan were just as surprised as Fang Heng. They had never encountered a situation where their usual abilities failed so spectacularly.
The team leader, Captain Xike, was extremely powerful.
Moreover, the Evil Clan’s special abilities made them nearly invincible in dark environments.
On top of that, more than ten mages at the back of the squad were continuously casting malevolent magic, focusing their fire on Fang Heng.
Fang Heng seemed completely unfazed, maintaining a vibrant and energetic state as if nothing had happened.
How on earth was he doing this?!
Xike never expected that before even facing the Holy Court, he would encounter such a difficult opponent in Fang Heng.
It was like hitting a brick wall.
If it weren’t for the Evil Clan’s dark resurrection ability, Xike would have already been defeated and dead in the fight.
Who exactly was this guy?
He wondered if even those high-ranking members of his group could handle him.
It also seemed that Fang Heng was from the Shadow Alliance, but why had he never heard of him before?
As Xike was lost in confusion, his body shattered from the impact but quickly resurrected. Suddenly, his expression changed.
