Chapter 302: Chapter 177: The Three Saints (2)
WHOOSH—
A hurricane howled!
The dense fog covering the entire field had actually thinned considerably.
It wasn’t a wind Lu Cang had conjured; the fog was dissipating on its own...
WHOOSH!
He felt another extremely powerful gust of wind surge upward!
Countless corpses across the field suddenly rose into the air! And rising with them was the roiling, dense fog!
The fog that had blanketed the ground was now gone...
It had all been lifted up completely!
POP!
In that instant, the dense fog burst apart!
The annoying mist had finally vanished!
His eyes could finally see into the distance. It felt as if a lifelong case of nearsightedness had suddenly been cured.
RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE—
As the dense fog dissipated, the corpses that had risen with it all fell back to the earth in unison.
Only then could everyone see their surroundings.
The entire area was a circle, enclosed by city walls.
It was a field with an extremely slight incline; the closer one got to the center, the higher the elevation.
However, the slope was so gradual that it was almost unnoticeable.
You’d basically have to travel several thousand kilometers to realize you were a few dozen meters higher than when you first entered the walls.
But even this slight elevation was enough to reveal three coffins standing upright in the very center of the field.
BOOM— The coffins opened, and three pale-faced corpses tumbled out.
A second after they hit the ground, the eyes of the three corpses snapped open.
’So these are... the three strongest?’
His Final Sense gave no warning, which meant he was safe for now.
Lu Cang took a small step back, positioning himself behind the Submerged Land Level Demon.
Although this Submerged Land Level Demon wasn’t particularly large, it was an extremely rare Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demon specialized in Defense Power.
SWOOSH!
There was no probing, no conversation, nothing.
A figure vanished and reappeared! One of the corpses, a bald one, was already above a masked Assassin!
At that moment, the Assassin was still preparing to bring his twin daggers down,
to hunt the prey he had targeted.
’Why bother searching?’
’Searching corpses? How could that be faster than just killing someone?’
’While others spend forever searching, I can just kill them. Not only do I get their stuff, but I also get everything they already found.’
’Killing one person is like having one person search for you.’
’Killing everyone is the fastest way to get loot.’
And for an Assassin, doing this kind of work in a fog-filled environment was incredibly easy.
However... he never expected it.
From the sky! A thick fist smashed down!
BOOM!
It instantly shattered his skull, blasting his head to smithereens!
The Mage below was horrified to see the splatter of blood in the sky.
He raised his Magic Staff and aimed it at the bald corpse!
ZING!
But the bald corpse appeared directly in front of him!
BOOM—
A fist punched straight through!
A bloody hole appeared in the Mage’s chest!
SWOOSH!
After landing that blow,
the bald figure trailed a thick, golden light as it moved—
BOOM! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—
Every punch it threw killed someone instantly!
In just ten seconds, it had already killed dozens of people.
BOOM!
Finally, a Warrior charged straight at it!
He swung his Heavy Sword horizontally!
CLANG!
The Warrior slid back a hundred meters before he managed to nullify the attack!
But just as he blocked the blow, the bald corpse appeared behind him!
BOOM!
Another Warrior appeared behind the first one.
He blocked the attack with his Shield!
’Oh, the noteworthy Warrior, and another one I’ve never seen before... another Warrior.’
’So many Warriors.’
Lu Cang glanced at the other two corpses. One of them also held a sword.
The other, however, was holding a white Magic Staff.
’That Sword Saint...’
Lu Cang’s gaze shifted to the Sword Saint.
’He’s a crafty old fox. Not even making a move in a situation like this?’
He then looked at Xiumi.
Xiumi also had his arms crossed, watching the show with great interest.
As for the other Adventurers, upon seeing this scene, they began to scatter and flee toward the city walls.
"The one who just died... that was Chi Zheng! He’s ranked twenty-fifth among Moon Sea’s Level 5 powerhouses!"
"Even he was killed in one hit..."
"We definitely can’t win!"
"I didn’t even see how he died! I’m... I’m out of here!"
Seeing this, many were quick to drop their weapons and run.
"Everyone! Are you not going to help?!"
CLANG!
The two powerhouses resisting the bald corpse were drenched in sweat.
It seemed as if they had been holding it off for a while, but in reality, the bald corpse was overwhelming them, forcing them into a purely defensive position.
"These three corpses are incredibly powerful! If we don’t team up against them now, are we just going to wait for them to pick us off one by one?!"
shouted the Warrior with the Giant Sword!
However, no one stepped forward to help.
There had been nearly a thousand people on the field, but now, after seeing the bald corpse instantly kill over fifty Adventurers,
including a powerhouse ranked in the twenties,
this mob of small-fry who had come to loot corpses immediately fled, scattering like birds and beasts...
Now, only a few dozen people remained on the field.
Just from a glance, one could tell they all had an extraordinary air about them.
CRACK!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The golden fists hammered continuously against the Shield, which was now covered in countless cracks!
It clearly wouldn’t last much longer.
He was a sword-and-Shield Warrior, not a true defender.
A purely defensive stance couldn’t hold for long.
"Here it comes!"
BOOM!
Suddenly, sparks of lightning appeared on the ground! BOOM!
The lightning formed a cage, trapping the bald corpse and the two Warriors inside!
Tier Five Thunder Magic—Thunderous Celestial Prison!
BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
