Chapter 440 - 296: Deceiving Heaven and Crossing the Sea, Subduing the Spirit Contract

"...Yes."

Lang Dong turned to look at the three Ruan brothers beside him, "Brother Ruan."

"Elder Lang Lin."

The three Ruan brothers revealed themselves and respectfully saluted Chu Ming, who was disguised as Lang Lin of the Wolf Race, before leading their men into battle at Xiqu Bay.

The Wind Spirit Race has incorporated over ten thousand bandits, along with more than five thousand bandits from Chaobei Ridge, but there are only a thousand strong Huang Forbidden Army, which makes it difficult.

"Elder Lang Lin, those are the three Ruan brothers."

"Hmm," Chu Ming, in the guise of Lang Lin, nodded slightly, "Follow me and kill our way in."

"Ah?" Lang Dong was clearly taken aback, "Elder, isn’t our task to drive the bandits to hold off the Huang Forbidden Army and then secretly steal the clan treasure from the Spirit Contract Race?"

The Wolf Race’s task is to steal the treasure without revealing identities.

"What? Are you questioning me?"

"I wouldn’t dare..."

"Move!"

"Yes."

The two followed the bandits from Chaobei Ridge into the bay.

"Sir, it’s not good, a large number of bandits are attacking from the east again."

"What?"

"Chaobei Ridge bandits! It’s Chaobei Ridge bandits!"

"Charge!"

The three Ruan brothers led the bandits in the attack.

"Ruan Geng, Ruan You, Ruan Zhou!" Yang Rong recognized the intruders at a glance.

The three Ruan brothers had just rushed into the bay and were momentarily stunned upon seeing Yang Rong, who held a long spear and swept the battlefield. Their expressions quickly turned into fear.

"Brother, it’s Yang Rong!"

"Damn, Lang Dong tricked us!"

"Brother, Yang Rong is a Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm expert, we can’t be his match!"

Just at that moment.

Swish, swish!

Two massive figures charged forward.

Blood red eyes, wolf transformation, wearing crowns.

"Wolf Race!!"

Yang Rong was furious, instantly understanding what Pei Chuan meant by ’wolf’.

"How dare they show themselves?!"

The injured Pei Chuan was filled with even more shock as he saw the Wolf Race appear again.

The original plan was that the Wolf Race should not have shown up.

What exactly is going on?

Thoughts raced through his mind, until suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, Pei Chuan realized something.

The Wolf Race intends to claim the Spirit Contract Race’s clan treasure for themselves?!

Yes, that must be it!

As soon as this thought emerged, Pei Chuan lost the will to fight further, thinking only of escaping to relay this information back.

"Attack!"

Chu Ming, disguised as Lang Lin, charged towards the Huang Forbidden Army like a fierce wolf, with Lang Dong close behind.

The three Ruan brothers struggled but also followed in the attack.

"Form an array!"

Yang Rong, worthy of being the Cavalry Captain of the Huang Forbidden Army, remained composed and quickly issued commands.

The thousand-strong Huang Forbidden Army formed a defensive array.

Golden armor and silver spears, the glint of blades and swords.

The west side of the bay.

The old woman of the Spirit Contract Race, who was directing her people to flee, was shocked to see the wolf-transformed individuals from afar.

"That Wolf Race elder... wasn’t he dead earlier?"

"..."

...

Within the bay, on the battlefield.

Clang, clang, clang!

Dong, dong, dong!

The clash of gold and iron, Chu Ming, embodied as Lang Lin, firmly suppressed the Huang Forbidden Army, but did not deliver a fatal blow.

He needed to leave some alive as witnesses among these Huang Forbidden Army, and he needed these army to kill a few people.

Lang Dong had to be killed, and the three heads of Chaobei Ridge’s Ruan family also had to be killed.

But he wouldn’t kill directly, using the hands of the Huang Forbidden Army to do it was most fitting.

Yang Rong presided over the array formation, fighting off all the bandits with a single long spear.

Chu Ming, in Lang Lin’s guise, feigned being repelled a few times, pretending to be somewhat exhausted.

Yang Rong saw this and quickly commanded the array formation to open left and right, like a snake uncoiling.

Although it appeared to be a long snake array to the left and right, there was actually a hidden killing array within.

Chu Ming recognized the bait of the long snake array at a glance, realizing Yang Rong’s true purpose was to create a flaw in the formation to lure enemies inside, then close the formation to trap and kill.

And this was exactly what he wanted.

The array might not trap him, but for those in the Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm caught within, escape was nearly impossible.

"Lang Dong, lead your men into the formation!"

With a loud shout, Chu Ming charged from the right side into the formation.

Without much thought, Lang Dong led his men from the left side to attack, with the three Ruan brothers close behind.

"Close!"

Seeing the strongest of the opponent enter the formation, Yang Rong immediately ordered to close the formation.

"Kill!"

With a command, Yang Rong charged at Chu Ming with his spear, while several Deputy Cavalry Captains surrounded Lang Dong and his men.

"Damn!"

Only then did Lang Dong realize he had fallen into a trap, but all around were golden armor and silver spears, leaving no escape.

Thud!

"Third brother!"

Among the Ruan brothers, Ruan Zhou was the first to be surrounded and killed.

Next was the second brother, Ruan You.

"Second brother, third brother!"

Ruan Geng and Lang Dong stood back to back.

"Brother Lang Dong, do you have a way to break the array?!"

Ruan Geng’s heart was filled with endless hatred for Lang Dong, but in the face of life and death, he had to suppress his anger.

Only by escaping the killing array would he have a chance to avenge his brothers.

"Yes!"

Lang Dong’s eyes turned blood red, suddenly exerting strength, his figure leaping up, then stepping on Ruan Geng’s head to gain leverage for a second time, trying to use this method to escape the encirclement of the Huang Forbidden Army’s killing array.

"Lang Dong!!"

Thud, thud, thud!

A silver spear pierced through the body, and Ruan Geng stared angrily, fully displaying his unwillingness and fury.

But that was all. The speed of life slipping away was very fast.

Lin Jin, a cold and ruthless Deputy Cavalry Captain, pulled out the blood-stained spear.

Under Cavalry Captain Yang Rong, there were two major Deputy Cavalry Captains, Lin Jin was one of them, in the early Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm.

"Assist me!"

"Rise!"

After killing Ruan Geng, Lin Jin did not pause for even a moment, stepping on the golden shield of the Huang Forbidden Army to leap.

Even before he jumped, a golden-armored figure had already leapt into the air, charging at Lang Dong with a spear.

This person was the other Deputy Cavalry Captain, Ling Nan.

With one in front and one behind, they attacked from above and below.

Thud!

First, a spear pierced Lang Dong’s abdomen, then another spear directly pierced through Lang Dong’s chest.

Lin Jin raised his silver spear high, the spearhead hanging with Lang Dong’s corpse.

On the right side.

"It’s about time."

Chu Ming, in the guise of Lang Lin, sensed the deaths of Lang Dong and the others, his eyes abruptly changed, and his aura then shifted dramatically.

"Not good!"

Yang Rong had been dominating the fight against the Wolf Race using the formation, seeing the moment to strike a decisive blow, but the opponent suddenly erupted.
