Chapter 817: ._2

Additionally, the advantage of the Blood Spear is quite important. If the Attack Power of the Blood Spear wasn’t strong enough to make the guardian avoid it during a fight, which requires extra effort to avoid being hit, the difficulty of the battle would be much higher.

“Well done, you actually managed to take this guy down, more capable than I imagined.”

Carl’s clone walked over with a smile and continued, “This guy’s ability is really strong, that Domain is simply irrational. If it were anyone else, even if ten people came together, they might not be able to defeat him, right?”

“We’ll see.”

Ye Mingqiu replied.

If ten strong fighters not reliant on Active abilities joined together, the odds of winning would still be great. However, it’s unlikely for ten strong fighters not reliant on Active abilities to team up, as most people need Active Abilities.

Even if others have abilities and Passive skills similar to Ye Mingqiu, it is still hard to face the guardian head-on. His Combat Instinct + Combat Intuition is like having an additional foresight, allowing him to anticipate the opponent’s attack intention and make the best decision.

Blood Spear’s extreme Attack Power + attack route foresight

The combination of the two can develop into a qualitative change. Only in this way can a short-term confrontation with the guardian occur. Lacking either one would let the guardian directly overpower and reduce the battle difficulty significantly.

“By the way, you are really strong, having hidden techniques. I thought you’d be in for a tough battle.”

“Isn’t it a tough battle right now?”

Ye Mingqiu retorted.

“Haha!”

Carl chuckled, then glanced toward Happy Town and asked, “So, should we go in now? There may be greater gains inside, but it could also be more dangerous.”

“Let’s go.”

Ye Mingqiu turned decisively. In the face of the interests ahead, he did not have even the slightest greed.

There are bound to be hidden dangers within the town, which just haven’t erupted yet. If Happy Town was truly in crisis, the guardian wouldn’t be leisurely guarding the door.

There is only one truth.

To the higher-ups, the residents of Happy Town are merely livestock. Whether they live or die is trivial to the higher-ups. If their sacrifices can lure more Demon Hunters and then capture them all… They might find it worthwhile, even profitable.

Staying here means facing greater danger, and those inside are likely even more perilous than the guardian. If the opponent wants to eliminate as many threats to order as possible, they won’t chase us now, but continuing to covet…

We might die here!

There’s no room for hesitation when it’s time to retreat!

“I owe you one.”

From Ye Mingqiu’s mask came a sudden voice, so faint it was hard to hear unless listened to closely, but undeniably the mask maker’s words.

Now, those inside Happy Town should also be sensing the situation. Whether they can escape will depend on their luck.

Ye Mingqiu and Carl departed.

“Boom!”

The direction of Happy Town erupted with a booming sound, a massive black shadow ascended to the sky, resembling a terrifying Demon destroying everything. Sounds of slaughter and screams became the melody of the world, and a dangerous atmosphere emanated from within the town.

Without a doubt, the hidden figures inside the town took proactive action, all triggered by the guardian’s death by Ye Mingqiu.

If the guardian hadn’t died, they might have allowed the Spiritualists/Transcenders to continue being arrogant for a while, luring more people and then capturing them all.

But…

Now that the guardian at the door is dead, no one can intercept at the entrance. If the opponent flees directly, they cannot be stopped as before.

To prevent too many from escaping, they may choose to strike directly and resolve the situation quickly.

….

Within Happy Town, the sounds of destruction in battle continuously arose. Intense combat did not swiftly conclude, as the strength of the spiritualists/transcenders exceeded the imagination of the hidden forces, making the battle situation more brutal.

Countless Spiritualists struck, causing a terrifying impact on the order of Happy Town. Hidden strong individuals killed nearly half of the Spiritualists but still allowed the majority to escape.

“Damn it!”

A red-haired youth in a black leather jacket stood on a corpse, holding a cigarette in his mouth, cursing darkly, “These guys got the message, they’re together, without the guardian, there’s no chance to keep them all here.”

“These people can grow through battle, similar fishing tactics should be avoided in the future.”

A blue-haired man in formal attire gently wiped his Fine Sword with white silk and continued, “These people are more troublesome than we imagined. Their techniques are endless, and recklessly pursuing them may cause greater losses. It’s still best to fight steadily.”

“Steady?”

The red-haired youth scoffed, “What do you mean by steady? I think we shouldn’t give them a chance and directly kill them; that’s the most steady move. If we had attacked from the start, these guys wouldn’t be so hard to kill.”

“Hmph, I think you’re just cowardly, can’t achieve great things by hesitating. You didn’t let me chase them before, let them out; if they keep developing, it’ll be even harder to fight later.”

“Then go chase them yourself.”

“…”

“If you’re scared to chase, follow orders and don’t speak useless nonsense.” The blue-haired youth spoke, his expression cold as he gazed at the ravaged battlefield and continued, “Their techniques are too many, with absurd mechanisms. Without sufficient means, even if we resolve them, we’d pay a heavy price, and it’s not worth it.”

“…”

The red-haired youth didn’t speak, his expression unappealing.

The abilities of those guys indeed bordered on ridiculous. Earlier, he met a person in a black robe who absorbed Energy from every Elemental attack and then converted it into Energy to continue fighting.

If that were their only ability, it wouldn’t be too absurd.

But the issue is, this guy had another annoying ability; he could selectively convert excess Energy into forms used for attack or defense, resulting in him growing stronger in battle. Initial cautious probing attacks became nutrients for his growth.

There was also another Space System monster, whose Spatial Ability was so skillful, with a blink every five seconds. Although his frontal single combat power was weak, his survival ability was ridiculously strong, practically undying.

There are many with similar mechanics!

Although the native’s values were higher, against these outsiders, without using ability suppression spray, it felt like primitive high-value individuals fighting Three-Body People—frustratingly difficult, and ability suppressors aren’t casually used.

Just like the Space System guy, his movement speed was too fast for the suppressor spray to work.

Trying to resolve the opponent with tactics resulted in that guy appearing absurdly clever. Not only was he untouchable with tactics, but he also exploited their strategy to kill more people.

Strong mechanics + high intelligence + numerous

They felt very uncomfortable fighting!

….

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Happy Town.

The escaping Spiritualists/Transcenders also cursed loudly. A strong man with a severed arm cursed loudly, “I’m really pissed off. The gap between their strength and Executors is too big! Just who filled in the values? I suspect that guy could casually kill me! Lifting a hand was an execution line! What a joke!”

“Exactly, that fire-wielder is even more absurd. His attacks were at my carrying limit. If I hadn’t desperately fought, I’d have been overwhelmed by him long ago! What kind of monster is this?!”

“You’re lucky. The guy beside me faced a person who instantly one-shot the poor sod next to me, with no chance of escape.”

“Damn! I’ll hit back eventually!”

“Next time we’ll team up!”
