However, it was strange that despite being surrounded by so many units, this man remained unfazed, standing with his hands behind his back.
“Who is this person? Could he be a native?”
“I don’t know, let’s go and see.”
The three of them walked over with a puzzled expression, but before they could speak, the man’s calm gaze turned towards them.
“Are you the players and lords of this territory?”
In his tone, there was a sense of indifference and confidence.
As soon as they heard the word “players”, they realized that he was one of them.
“May 1 know who you are? Are you a player from the island? Why have you come to my territory?”
The man’s extremely calm expression and tone made the usually cautious square-faced player feel uncertain for a moment.
Why was this man so calm despite being surrounded by so many units?
Could it be that this man didn’t realize that he was heavily surrounded?
With this thought in mind, the square-faced player’s expression changed. Could there be an ambush nearby, attempting to launch a surprise attack on them?
“It doesn’t matter who I am. I am not a player from the island. 1 have come on behalf of someone. But you haven’t answered my question. Did you harass the territory to the south?”
The tone remained calm, with a hint of indifference.
The other two players immediately started cursing vehemently upon hearing this.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you come here alone? Don’t you know we can kill you anytime?”
“You damn bastard! Do you believe that I can smash your head to pieces?”
Ji Chen looked coldly at the two players spewing profanities, and in his heart, he had already passed their death sentences.
Although their fate was sealed the moment they appeared here.
“Shut up!”
Just as the two were cursing loudly, the square-faced player shouted sternly, interrupting them.
The more Ji Chen acted this way, the more wary he became.
With such composure, there must be an ambush! Otherwise, how could he have the audacity to come alone?
“Sir, you are not a player from the island, and it seems we have no grievances with you?”
Ji Chen smiled. “The female player in the territory to the south also seems to have no grievances with you. You want to annex her territory for your own benefit. So why can’t 1 come here to resolve you for my own benefit?”
At this moment, they instantly understood that Ji Chen was the reinforcement invited by that woman.
The square-faced player’s expression turned cold. “So, it was that despicable woman who invited you. But you have quite the audacity to say that you want to deal with us. Very well, please bring out your army and fight us head-on. Let’s see if you have the ability.”
Ji Chen shook his head gently. “1 am here alone.”
“One person? Are you kidding, sir?”
“Look around you. Is there anywhere to hide someone?”
The square-faced player looked around. The surroundings were all grasslands and lakes, with only the possibility of amphibious units hiding in the lakes.
He immediately ordered two teams of military units to jump into the lake and conduct a thorough search.
Upon receiving the news that the lake was empty, a surge of anger rushed through the face of the national leader.
So there really wasn’t an ambush army. Did his previous caution make him look like a clown?
Seeing a faint smile on Ji Chen’s face, anger suddenly burned within him.
Damn it! How dare Ji Chen deceive him?
Considering Ji Chen’s lack of an army, what is the source of their confidence in claiming that a single individual can defeat them?
The unit leader’s eyes turned cold, roaring, “Attack! Tear him to pieces!!”
The hundreds of surrounding troops roared and charged towards Ji Chen, their sharp weapons shining with a cold light as if to pierce through him.
Ji Chen remained calm, watching the enemies rushing towards him, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He raised both hands.
Within moments, ripples disturbed the tranquil lake behind him, as the previously scattered and ethereal water transformed into formidable blades with a resolute structure. In a mere span of three seconds, an array of water blades, countless in number, emerged and occupied the sky.
These transparent blades showcased a mesmerizing interplay of light, reflecting vibrant hues of sunlight. Yet, beneath their enchanting beauty, an unsettling essence of imminent demise emanated, casting a chilling aura.
Seeing this scene, the unit leader and the two players were dumbfounded.
What is this?
A tremendous sense of danger descended upon them.
In the next moment, the unit leader’s pupils shrank.
Ji Chen, with a calm expression, waved his hand lightly.
The water blades in the sky went from still to in motion, descending rapidly.
Swish—
The sky rained down merciless “drops”, piercing into the crowd.
The high-speed, razor-sharp water blades cut through flesh like piercing paper, cleanly slicing through bodies.
Wave after wave of water blades continued to rain down, lacking a daunting presence but producing the continuous swishing sound of cutting flesh. The two sounds intertwined, forming a funeral melody that was both pleasant and chilling.
After one minute.
“Phew-”
Ji Chen took a deep breath, the mana pendant on his right hand slowly glowing, replenishing his mana.
The grassy field before him was covered in layer upon layer of flesh and blood.
Yes, it was layer upon layer of flesh and blood.
The army that was standing before him originally was now like a piece of meat being continuously cut and dissected by a skillful butcher, until no intact human form could be seen.
In the past, Ji Chen could only release the water blades haphazardly, but now, as his level increased, his control over water became more skilled and composed.
His control and destructive power had increased many times compared to when he first obtained the Tide Lord profession.
A layer of flesh suddenly arched upward, blood flowing from the eyes of the unit leader. He crawled out from within, blood covering his face, and looked at Ji Chen with an expression of horror.
Did players at this stage really possess such strength?
With just one strike, he killed all their troops directly.
If he hadn’t reacted in time and used a shield artifact, he would have likely turned into a pile of flesh and blood on the ground like the other two players.
His body trembled uncontrollably.
The fear in his heart reached its peak when the man turned his gaze toward him.
The unit leader’s mental state collapsed, tears and snot flowing down as he kneeled on the ground and begged for mercy.
“Don’t kill me! I’m willing to give you everything!”
“I can take you to their territory and help you absorb their population and resources. 1 can give you my territory, 1 just beg you to spare me…”
Splat-
The unit leader’s eyes widened as he looked down at the water blade piercing his heart. He felt a sweetness in his throat as blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. His voice became hoarse as he gasped for breath twice before weakly falling to the ground.
“Even if you’re dead, I can still obtain everything you have,” Ji Chen said coldly, his gaze icy and merciless.
At the same time, in the other three territories.
Anina swung her sword forcefully, shaking off the blood that stained it.
In front of her, the ground was littered with broken corpses.
She had eliminated all the remaining enemies.
Looking at the trembling ordinary residents nearby, Anina narrowed her eyes and smiled shyly. “Don’t be afraid, I’m a good person… a good fish. 1 won’t harm you.”
Upon hearing these words, the ordinary residents became even more frightened. They had witnessed firsthand how this sword-wielding girl single-handedly wiped out the entire army in their territory.
And she told them not to be afraid!?
Alice, the lady, sat elegantly under a tree, supporting her beautiful face with a hand that had fins. She gazed into the distance where the Naga warrior and Dragon Blood Murloc were cleaning up the remains. Gradually, her mind started to wander.
If one ignored the fins on her ears, she looked like a human girl yearning for her loved one.
Hmm, it had already been two hours and twenty-two minutes since she separated from her lord. She missed him.
“Report to Lord Benbo! Can we eat these human corpses? It would be a waste to discard them!”
“No, we cannot! Lord’s orders are clear, we must not consume the deceased humans!”
“What about the ones who are still alive?”
“Absolutely not!!!”
“All spoils, whether dead or alive, must be handled according to Lord’s command! Anyone who dares to act without authorization will be severely punished!”
“Yes! Long live the great Salted Fish King! Hooray!!!”
