Chapter 35: The Unbeatable Enemy
Before the main gate of Bay City, battle was imminent. The nine violators on the opposite side were no saints either; realizing they couldn't avoid the fight, they took the initiative to prepare for battle.
These nine had the ability to enter Bay City for exploration, so none of them were pushovers. They didn't stand too close to each other—most violators were accustomed to acting alone, and coming to Treeborn World this time was an exceptional case.
The melee fighters were in front, the ranged fighters behind. Even a team without much tacit understanding would set up this way. Among the nine, the bald burly man and the ponytail woman were both melee fighters, while a short, hunched man with a thin build leaped back several times to hide behind the others.
The others were used to the hunched man's sneaky behavior; it had been the same inside Bay City. But they didn't notice the strange gleam in his eyes at this moment.
The hunched man jumped to the rear of the group, his hands tucked under his cloak, looking as if he had them clasped behind his back.
*Ding~*
The crisp sound of a ring being pulled came. The few facing away from the hunched man didn't pay it any mind. Inside Bay City, they had all seen his "Compression Bombs," and hearing the pin being pulled, they assumed he was about to throw a few "Compression Bombs" at the enemy. But two seconds passed, and they still didn't see any "Compression Bombs" being thrown from behind, which made them realize something was wrong.
*Thump!*
A dull sound spread out. Strangely, this muffled blast was particularly ear-splitting up close, but less noticeable a hundred meters away. This was an improved ring-sound explosion, designed to avoid attracting distant enemies with loud noise.
The shockwave, filled with energy shrapnel, struck from behind the bald burly man and the others. They hadn't expected the hunched man to betray them by self-destructing.
This was the terror of the "Marrow Parasite." Earlier, Su Xiao and the others weren't just looking for a reason to start a fight; they were using words as cover to give Zuiyasi an opportunity to initiate the engagement.
Zuiyasi's move of starting the fight behind enemy lines was exquisitely timed. As soon as the battle began, he eliminated the opponent's strongest ranged fighter, and incidentally blew up a nearby mage and a healer, leaving only six enemies.
The explosion sent smoke and dust billowing everywhere. Su Xiao's crystal left arm was raised in front of his face, while the longsword in his right hand hummed softly. Just as he was about to use "Blade Path: Blood Blade" to ambush the enemy crowd, followed by "Blade Path Sword: Time" to suppress the remaining six, a figure rushed past him—it was the Child of Fate, Yuer.
Don't underestimate Yuer. His cultivation speed couldn't be understood by common sense. Over the past few decades, the Elf King, Kerenwei, and 795 pure-blooded female elves had a total of 5,192 offspring. These children were born with distorted Abyss Force in their bodies, giving them three common traits.
