Chapter 133 - 132: Ambush
On Blue Star, experts of the Spirit Venerable Realm were among the top echelon of masters, terrifying existences second only to Half-Saints. Even the Marshal of the Qianyuan Republic, the three magnates of [Celestial Sword], and the Guardians of the major Upper-Grade Noble Families were only experts of this level.
In this Badge World, the strongest experts were at the Spirit Sect Level. Not a single one had ever managed to advance to become a Spirit Venerable, a clear testament to how difficult that breakthrough was.
Shu Feng pondered for a moment before saying decisively, "Then I’ll have to trouble you and Zhao Zixing."
The highest echelon of nobility in the Qianyuan Republic consisted of immensely powerful Noble Families and Clans. Occasionally, exceptionally brilliant geniuses would emerge from the Lower Class or existing Noble Families, and they would go on to establish powerful new Noble Families and Clans of their own.
Only by becoming a Noble Family Head could Shu Feng gain access to the upper echelons of the Qianyuan Republic and obtain more information and resources.
Zhao Zixing and the other prodigies of the Celestial Pride Class were quickly gathered. After a brief discussion, they ultimately decided to let Shu Feng return to Spirit Mirror City alone.
「Seven days later, at night, in the wilderness at the border between the Erosion Realm and the Badge World.」
One thousand Black Dog Void Demons charged into the wilderness like ghosts, fanning out to scout the area ahead.
"I’m finally out! I don’t want to stay in this godforsaken place for another minute!"
An expert wearing black battle armor and a scorpion mask walked out of a miniature mobile villa. He watched the thousand Black Dog Void Demons from afar, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent.
After the failed assassination, this expert with the scorpion mask had been forced to remain here for several months.
In the Erosion Realm, Spiritual Qi was thin, and the air was saturated with the Power of Void Demon. If members of the Human Race wanted to cultivate, they had to either enter a city like Spirit Mirror City, which was protected by a powerful Purification Barrier, or set up a small Purification Spirit Array and use Spirit Stones to cultivate within it.
The scorpion-masked expert was a Spirit Sect Realm powerhouse, a famous and influential figure in the outside world who lived a life of debauchery and pleasure. But being sent to this godforsaken place for months on end naturally left him feeling incredibly frustrated.
"Sir, what should we do?"
An expert in a black cloak stepped forward and asked.
Dozens of Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Void Demons were speeding toward them. If they didn’t act, they would soon be discovered by those Black Dog Void Demons.
"We’re pulling out!"
At the scorpion-masked man’s command, the dozens of Great Spirit Master-level experts in black cloaks flickered and retreated.
Only after the thousand Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Void Demons had raced on for dozens of miles did Shu Feng, clad in Illusion Badge Armor that left his face exposed, slowly step out from the Badge World.
At Shu Feng’s side followed a monster shrouded in a black cloak—the Steel Beast.
Wrapped in a black cloak, Shu Feng moved through the wilderness of the Erosion Realm like a ghost.
’Shu Feng? It’s actually him! The kid is a Master of the Summoning Technique, which makes him very tricky. Taking him out would be like cutting off an arm from those two.’
On a small, hidden hillock, the scorpion-masked man lay prone. He aimed a Tier Four sniper Spiritual Spear, the [Black Poison Bee], and locked onto Shu Feng.
BANG!
A crisp gunshot rang out, and a black beam of light shot across several kilometers, blasting toward Shu Feng’s head.
A warning flared in Shu Feng’s mind just as the bullet slammed into his head.
A strange scene unfolded. Shu Feng’s body trembled slightly, and the bullet vanished without a trace.
Within the mysterious Base Space, the head of a King of Goblins, which had signed a Blood Contract with Shu Feng, suddenly exploded.
’A Spirit Sect Realm sniper is terrifying! I may have Spirit Sect Level combat power, but I’m still a far cry from a true Spirit Sect Realm expert.’
’But I’ve finally found you! You bastard! Kill him, Steel Beast!’
A vicious glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. With a mental command, he and the Steel Beast shot toward the scorpion-masked man’s position.
’He’s not dead? A damage-transferring Spiritual Ability? But no one in this world is unkillable. Even a Spiritual Ability that transfers damage has its limits!’
A cold light flashed in the scorpion-masked man’s eyes. His gaze hardened as he channeled his Spiritual Power, raising the [Black Poison Bee] to lock onto Shu Feng once more.
WHOOSH!
A black arrow, like a sliver of black moonlight, tore through the void and shot silently toward the scorpion-masked man’s head.
’A Divine Archer?’
The scorpion-masked man’s expression changed slightly. He channeled his Spiritual Power, and the [Black Poison Bee] in his hand erupted with a dark, spectral light as he moved to block the arrow.
A terrifying explosion erupted as the scorpion-masked man shattered the arrow directly.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
One Continuous Arrow after another shot toward the scorpion-masked man in rapid succession.
’What a powerful Divine Archer!’
The scorpion-masked man drew an Extraordinary Long Sword and executed a profound and mysterious Swordsmanship technique. His blade moved like layers of swirling mist, catching the Continuous Arrows and shattering them all.
"Take them both down!"
The scorpion-masked man barked a sharp command. The twenty hidden Great Spirit Master-level Spiritual Spear Masters at his side revealed themselves, drew their Tier Three Spiritual Spears, the [Black Scorpion], and pulled the triggers.
Beams of black light blasted toward Shu Feng and the Steel Beast.
The moment the Spiritual Spear Masters appeared and opened fire, Shu Feng’s Spiritual Sense flared with a strong sense of danger. He flickered, dodging the barrage of light beams.
Ripples of energy shimmered, and two hundred giant species polluters appeared. They brandished colossal pillars and hurled them with wild force. The massive pillars flew like cannonballs toward the Great Spirit Master-level Spiritual Spear Masters.
The Great Spirit Master-level Spiritual Spear Masters each aimed their Spiritual Spears and fired at the giant species polluters.
The power of the Tier Three Spiritual Spears was extraordinary. A single shot would blast a fist-sized, bloody hole in the bodies of the giant species polluters.
The Great Spirit Master-level Spiritual Spear Masters all possessed extraordinary Spear Technique and were rich in combat experience. After a few shots, they began to wildly fire bullets at the hearts in the giant species polluters’ chests and at their heads.
One by one, the giant species polluters were blasted apart by the Great Spirit Master-level Spiritual Spear Masters before they could even get close.
A Residual Shadow flickered. Using the giant species polluters as cover, the Steel Beast appeared in an instant before a Great Spirit Master-level Spiritual Spear Master and easily pierced through the Master’s heart with its claw.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The expressions on the faces of the other Great Spirit Master-level Spiritual Spear Masters changed drastically as they frantically raised their Spiritual Spears and fired at the Steel Beast.
Beams of black light blasted toward the Steel Beast.
