Chapter 155: One Against Five
Boom, boom, boom…
The deep sounds grew louder as they approached.
Eight fierce beasts slowly advanced.
They were enormous, with the smallest measuring six to seven meters long.
The largest towered over ten meters high and stretched over twenty meters long, resembling a mountain.
The eight fierce beasts exuded a terrifying aura.
Each step they took made the ground tremble slightly, as if a great drum was beating against it.
In War City, the three fake heavy criminals sat atop the fierce beasts, feeling the gale on their faces, their serious gazes betraying an uncontrollable excitement.
They were at a turning point, finding life in a desperate situation.
The chance to turn the tide was right before them.
After two years of planning and hardship, their success was about to be revealed.
Soon, they spotted Yi Chen hovering in front of a stone house.
One person and one sword appeared as imposing as a mountain.
His unrestrained aura overshadowed even the fierce winds around them, causing the eight fierce beasts to instinctively slow their pace.
In the eyes of Zhan Cheng and the three fake heavy criminals, a spark of brilliance flickered.
In their hearts, an indescribable sense of pride quietly rose.
He was indeed the greatest genius in human history.
After two years, he had grown even more regal and imposing, evoking a subtle feeling of submission.
To stand before Yi Chen was to qualify as a worthy opponent.
As long as humanity persisted, history would forever remember their significant mark.
“Let’s settle this once and for all! The strong are revered, and while we are many against you, you can consider us your greatest weakness!”
Zhan Cheng leaped down from the back of the Gale Tiger.
Full of spirit and vigor.
He felt an indescribable surge of ambition in his chest.
In that moment, he even forgot the mission that had brought him to the exile planet, where he had narrowly survived to claim the chieftain’s position.
All he wanted was to settle the score.
He wished to see if his two years of accumulated powerful external force, boosted by foresight, could successfully defeat Yi Chen.
If he emerged victorious, it would be the greatest honor of his life.
The other three fake heavy criminals also leaped down.
With a sharp whistle, three fierce beasts of varying sizes formed an inverted triangle, guarding their sides and rear.
On the left and right sides, one fierce beast excelled in long-range attacks, while the other specialized in defense.
The one in the back possessed astonishing speed.
This was a defense formation that Zhan Cheng designed and trained himself, which he had tested with the Gale Tiger.
Even the level 50 Gale Tiger could not break through the fierce beasts’ defense line in a short period, ensuring their safety.
“Attack! Qi Gu Li…”
Zhan Cheng shouted loudly.
The other three fake heavy criminals also roared out strange sounds, issuing commands they had practiced hundreds, even thousands of times.
In the next moment, the Gale Tiger let out a roar and dashed toward the side of Yi Chen with breath-stealing speed.
The other four fierce beasts quickly spread out.
Some leaped into the air, diving down from above.
Some charged directly at Yi Chen, while others, like the Gale Tiger, swiftly circled to Yi Chen’s side and back.
The five fierce beasts followed Zhan Cheng and the others’ commands, attacking Yi Chen from five different directions.
There were defenders and attackers, along with strategic arrangements.
Yi Chen’s lips curled up slightly; this was worth fighting for.
He suddenly accelerated, instantly turning into a blur, taking advantage of the moment before the encirclement formed to dodge the Gale Tiger, which had a clearly stronger speed and presence, and dashed to the other side.
Zhan Cheng and the three fake heavy criminals were momentarily stunned.
Although they consumed holy water daily, greatly enhancing their physical abilities and eyesight, they had arrived with all their spirit power and levels nullified and dared not train before joining the Flame Mountain Tribe.
Thus, they were only physically superior to ordinary people.
Their eyesight could not see Yi Chen’s speed at all.
To them, Yi Chen seemed to teleport, suddenly disappearing from sight.
With Yi Chen out of sight, how could they issue commands through various sound signals?
Roar…
Just as they were in distress, the level 43 Fire Cloud Lion, which had circled around to Yi Chen, suddenly turned its head and unleashed a fiery dragon from its mouth.
The other four fierce beasts slightly adjusted their direction.
Zhan Cheng felt a rush of certainty; Yi Chen must have used his speed to reach the position targeted by the Fire Cloud Lion’s attack.
He was about to give new tactical instructions based on that position when he saw the other four fierce beasts all glance toward the back of the Gale Tiger.
The Gale Tiger also sensed danger.
Zhan Cheng was confused.
What on earth was happening?
From the fierce beasts’ behavior, it seemed that at first, Yi Chen had relied on his speed to break out from the direction of the slowest Fire Cloud Lion before the encirclement had formed.
Next, he should choose to attack the Fire Cloud Lion first and break them down one by one.
He had just decided to use a long-range attack strategy to suppress it while the Gale Tiger intercepted in front. Before he could issue the command through sound, the five fierce beasts quickly shifted their gaze.
From the movement of the fierce beasts’ eyes, it seemed that Yi Chen had used his speed to circle around to the back of the Gale Tiger, planning to attack the clearly strongest in power and speed, the Gale Tiger?
In a battle of this level, he had no time to formulate or change tactics, leaving the five fierce beasts to act freely.
Fortunately, the intelligence of the five fierce beasts was not inferior to that of humans, and they had practiced various encirclement and cooperation techniques.
Without a commander, they did not fall into chaos and fight separately.
Zhan Cheng’s judgment was correct; Yi Chen had indeed broken through and circled to the Gale Tiger’s rear.
Breaking through was to ensure his own safety; choosing the Gale Tiger as the attack target was a habit of his.
A habit that had both advantages and disadvantages.
When eating, he preferred to finish the foods he disliked first, saving the foods he enjoyed for last.
In exams and tasks, he liked to tackle the difficult problems first before returning to the easier ones.
Tackling the hard before the easy.
This habit had led to some small losses and low efficiency, but it had also shaped his self-discipline and perseverance.
Swish, swish, swish…
A series of Sword Energies sliced toward the Gale Tiger.
The Gale Tiger, unwilling to be outdone, roared and used its incredible speed and reflexes to evade the Sword Energy while swinging its front paw at Yi Chen.
A flurry of wind blades, matching the speed of the Sword Energy, slashed back at Yi Chen, who also dodged them.
Both sides continuously attempted to close in on each other, but could not approach due to the opposing attacks.
The other four fierce beasts tried to join the fight, but each time Yi Chen anticipated their movements and escaped with speed.
To Zhan Cheng and the others, it seemed as if the four fierce beasts were running around aimlessly, without landing a single attack.
The Gale Tiger kept attacking, but it felt more like it was practicing various moves alone.
It darted left and right, continuously roaring, and unleashed sharp wind blades with its claws.
Inside the stone house, Bai Ruo Xin watched Yi Chen and the Gale Tiger’s evenly matched battle, her bright eyes shimmering with passionate light, shining like stars.
She only allocated a small portion of her attention to observe Zhan Cheng and the others’ movements.
But she did not consider their positions or how to use the Little Gold Ball to break through the defense line of the three fierce beasts and capture the four fake heavy criminals.
Because it was unnecessary.
With her keen eyes, she could see that although Yi Chen was engaged in a stalemate with the Gale Tiger, the other four fierce beasts were still watching closely for an opportunity.
It seemed that Yi Chen was at a disadvantage.
Yet, Yi Chen’s speed and swordsmanship were continuously improving.
This godlike man was actually gaining strength during the battle.
