Chapter 666: Successful Assassination

Over sixty Soul Kings charged out almost simultaneously.

Among them, more than fifty gathered around the powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe who excelled in tracking and searching techniques.

Only about ten Soul Kings launched attacks against this Tree-Dwelling Tribe warrior.

The remaining forty or so used the Soul Clan’s unique mental attacks to bind the warrior’s body.

The two other Tree-Dwelling Tribe members skilled in tracking and searching faced only the attacks of a handful of Soul Kings, but their own strength was weak, and their ability to resist was even less than that of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe warrior.

“Damn it!”

Bunier and Blake, using their powerful Perception Ability, instantly sensed the sudden assault from the sixty-plus Soul Kings.

Without any hesitation, Bunier continued his attack on the spatial rift, while Blake forcibly withdrew his offense in an attempt to provide assistance.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the spatial rift collapsed instantly under Bunier’s powerful attack.

However, at almost the same moment, he lost the Soul Emperor’s presence in his perception.

The Soul Emperor’s strength was roughly at the level of a two hundred level strong fighter.

His Perception Ability was far inferior to Bunier’s.

To ensure his safety, he had remained close to the spatial rift, always ready to use it for teleportation to other life planets.

Although Bunier and Blake only alerted the Soul Emperor to their auras when they entered the atmosphere, their speed and attack pace exceeded the Soul Emperor’s expectations.

The Soul Emperor’s reaction time allowed him to escape through the spatial rift in an instant without any issues.

While one blow merely destroyed the spatial rift and failed to capture the Soul Emperor, Bunier felt a bit disappointed but did not dwell on it too much.

After all, this outcome was within his expectations.

The real killing move lay with the twenty strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

If luck was against the Soul Emperor, and he appeared on the life planet controlled by the twenty strong fighters, the stealthy Tree-Dwelling Tribe members would immediately aim to destroy that planet’s spatial rift.

This would leave the Soul Emperor trapped on that life planet.

Even if this Tree-Dwelling Tribe team couldn’t kill the Soul Emperor, they could delay him until Bunier and Blake arrived.

No matter what special means the Soul Emperor had to escape the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s grasp, there would be no escape.

Because in a short time, without a spatial rift, the Soul Emperor could not flee to other life planets before Bunier and Blake arrived.

They only needed the strong fighters skilled in tracking and searching techniques to determine the Soul Emperor’s coordinates, and with the power of Bunier and Blake, the Soul Emperor could not escape.

In Bunier and Blake’s eyes, the Soul Emperor was almost undoubtedly doomed.

What they did not expect was that the Soul Emperor was also setting a trap, trying to utilize the Shadow King’s stealth techniques to assassinate the three Tree-Dwelling Tribe warriors who excelled in tracking and searching techniques.

As Bunier turned to fly into outer space, Blake had already soared into the outer space.

But even when Blake sensed the appearance of the Soul Kings and forcefully interrupted his attack to turn back for rescue, he was still powerless to help.

The sudden assault overwhelmed the two weaker members of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe first.

Their strength realms were only one hundred eighty level and one hundred ninety level.

The Soul Kings also had strengths between one hundred eighty level and one hundred ninety level, so they were not much weaker than the Tree-Dwelling Tribe members.

With multiple attackers appearing at once, the two Tree-Dwelling Tribe warriors didn’t even have time to strengthen their defensive shields before they were heavily injured by the immediate strikes.

In the next round of attacks, their souls were completely destroyed.

The powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe fared little better.

He faced over fifty Soul Kings attacking him at the same time.

Although he opened his defensive shield to the maximum with his stronger reaction ability, it only managed to block the first round of attacks from a little over ten Soul Kings.

Once the shield was destroyed, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe warrior couldn’t escape.

The mental bindings from the other forty or so Soul Kings rendered him immobile for a short time.

The second round of attacks from over ten Soul Kings followed immediately, mercilessly inflicting heavy wounds on him.

It was only at this moment that the other Tree-Dwelling Tribe members finally reacted.

However, all the strong fighters had been summoned away, and their strength realms ranged only between one hundred eighty level and one hundred ninety level.

When they realized what was happening and prepared to assist, the forty-plus Soul Kings had already blocked their path.

The remaining ten or so Soul Kings continued their fierce assault on the heavily injured Tree-Dwelling Tribe warrior.

They held nothing back, every attack aimed to kill.

Meanwhile, the other ten or so Soul Kings, having completed their tasks by killing the two Tree-Dwelling Tribe members skilled in tracking and searching techniques, stayed behind.

They waited for the Shadow King to use his stealth technique to wrap them in hiding state once again.

However, the Shadow King did not do as planned. After they finished their mission, he did not take them into hiding state first.

In fact, the Shadow King hadn’t even stayed behind.

As soon as the sixty-plus Soul Kings launched their attacks, the Shadow King quickly led Yi Chen away, stopping only at the edge of their sensing range to watch the battle unfold.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The heavily injured Tree-Dwelling Tribe warrior could not withstand the frenzied assaults from over ten Soul Kings.

In an instant, his physical body was completely destroyed.

His soul, which had just flown out, was torn apart by one of the Soul Kings.

“Done!”

The group of Soul Kings wore expressions of wild joy.

Step one of their plan had been completed; the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had lost three members skilled in tracking and searching techniques, making it impossible for them to discern the Soul Emperor and Soul Clan’s whereabouts.

In turn, the Soul Clan could use the Shadow King’s tracking and searching techniques to locate another two hundred and ten level strong fighter. With the Shadow King’s stealth means, they could severely injure and capture this two hundred and ten level Tree-Dwelling Tribe fighter, making him a host for the Soul Emperor.

Next, they would find a way to separate the other two two hundred and ten level strong fighters, defeating them one by one to heavily injure and capture them.

Once they successfully fused the bodies of the three two hundred and ten level Tree-Dwelling Tribe fighters, the Soul Clan’s Top-tier Combat Power would increase significantly.

The greatest risk lay in this first step.

Now that step one had succeeded, just thinking about it filled the Soul Kings with excitement.

However, this excitement did not last long.

Within just a few seconds, they sensed a terrifying aura that made them tremble all over.

It was Brel, arriving ahead of time.

What filled them with dread and fear was that the Shadow King had yet to use his stealth ability to envelop them.

How could this be?

They couldn’t understand it; there was still time!

The Shadow King had several seconds to take them into hiding state before quickly escaping.

“You all deserve to die!”

Sensing that the three Tree-Dwelling Tribe members skilled in tracking and searching techniques had been killed, and including one strong fighter among them, Blake was filled with rage.

The giant branches rapidly extended, crashing down towards the Soul Kings.
