Chapter 607: A Heavily Injured Strike

Just as the Shadow King, using his stealth techniques, arrived next to the two hundred and ten level strong fighter from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe with Mares, this powerful being was in the outer space of Stag Star. His Perception Ability was fully activated, covering not only the entire Stag Star but also a vast area of outer space around it.

Yet, he did not sense the Shadow King’s presence, who was so near.

With the Heart of Time and various high-quality immortal materials that accelerated his training speed, the Shadow King’s strength realm quickly surged to level one hundred and ninety-five in a short time.

Coupled with the treasure made from Tai Ning Stone that enhanced his stealth capabilities, even being so close, the two hundred and ten level strong fighter from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe remained unaware of him.

Taking a deep breath, the Shadow King communicated with Mares, "Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

Mares nodded firmly, brimming with energy.

In his view, this attack clearly seemed more difficult than the last sneak attack on the Time Tribe warrior.

Both were two hundred and ten level strong fighters, but the strong fighter from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was unlikely to suspect the Shadow King of attempting an assassination, unlike the Time Tribe warrior, who was caught off guard and had a large portion of shadow spears thrust into his body.

Additionally, in the outer space of Stag Star, there was not just this two hundred and ten level strong fighter, but also eleven two hundred level strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

The terrifying energy that would erupt from attacking the two hundred and ten level strong fighter could easily be sensed by those nearby from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

"Once you make your move, I will follow up immediately."

Surprisingly, the Shadow King felt more relaxed than the last time because he believed this would actually be easier than before.

His strength had improved significantly since then.

Both his speed and power far exceeded those of the last attempt.

Moreover, although the strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe were not inferior to their Time Tribe counterparts, the Time Tribe could manipulate the laws of time. If ambushed, even if heavily injured, they still had a chance to turn the situation around.

In contrast, the strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe did not possess that kind of ability to make a comeback.

Mares steeled himself, gritted his teeth, and suddenly charged out from the Shadow King’s hiding range.

With giant branches coming down with thunderous momentum, he struck at the root system of the strong fighter from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe from below.

The sudden attack took the powerful being by surprise.

The drained luck began to show its effect.

Unconsciously, as the strong fighter sensed Mares’ assault aimed at his vital spot, he did not instantly activate his defensive shield to the max; instead, he instinctively attempted to dodge to the side.

He aimed to evade the strike.

Unfortunately, just as he started to move, the giant branches crashed down.

Like a colossal pillar supporting the sky, they swept past his defensive shield and struck straight at his roots.

Boom!

There was a loud bang.

Although this strike’s near half its power was blocked by the defensive shield, the remaining energy still devastated nearly half of his root system.

Puff…

Green blood gushed out from the powerful being of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Mares was overjoyed.

He never expected that during the last attack on the Time Tribe warrior, the opponent made a fatal mistake, mistaking the Shadow King for a threat, which led to their utter defeat.

He thought this attack on the two hundred and ten level strong fighter from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe would be extraordinarily difficult.

But to his surprise, the opponent made an even more foolish mistake than the Time Tribe warrior.

At the moment of the attack, instead of increasing the strength of his defensive shield to minimize the damage, he attempted to evade the strike.

As a result, not only did he fail to avoid the attack, but he was also heavily injured by it.

Mares even felt that he could take down the injured Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter without the Shadow King’s help.

Without wasting time, after landing a successful hit, he immediately launched a full-force onslaught at the heavily injured Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter.

The giant branches struck furiously at the root system of the powerful being.

Not far away, seeing Mares land a successful hit and severely injure the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter, the Shadow King wasted no time either. He transformed into a shadow spear thousands of kilometers long and aimed it at the back of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter.

"Shadow Clan? You dare to collude with the Shadow Clan…"

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter already struggled to withstand Mares’s relentless and wild attacks. Upon sensing the Shadow King’s presence, he was filled with terror.

Unfortunately, no matter how loud he shouted, it could not stop the shadow spear created by the Shadow King from closing in on him.

Under normal circumstances, even though the Shadow King had greatly increased his strength, with the terrifying power of the two hundred and ten level strong fighter from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, he could still fend off the shadow spear even without his defensive shield, despite being heavily injured.

However, now there was Mares’s frenzied assault.

While he could barely defend against one of the attacks, he was unable to fend off both at the same time.

As he saw Mares charging towards his vital root area again, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter could only swing his branches in an attempt to intercept Mares’s attack.

Whoosh…

The shadow spear pierced into his body, driving deeper.

The thousands of kilometers long shadow spear quickly buried itself deep within him.

By the time the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter managed to block Mares’s attack, he extracted the energy and severed the shadow spear, most of it had already entered his body.

In the next moment, energy exploded within the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter, blowing his massive body into fragments.

Mares quickly followed up with a powerful strike, turning the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter into wood shavings.

With another blow, he crushed the strong fighter’s soul as it attempted to escape.

Meanwhile, the Shadow King swiftly took hold of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter’s Space Stone.

The entire process, from Mares launching his attack to the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter having his soul completely destroyed, took only about twenty seconds.

In the distance, several other Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters sensed the energy fluctuations and became a bit excited.

They thought that the two hundred and ten level strong fighter had successfully discovered a target and was intercepting them.

They did not rush over immediately.

Because the twelve Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters, though not openly stated, had reached a tacit understanding.

As long as the two hundred and ten level strong fighter could take down the opponent they were betting on, their losses could be recovered.

They feared that rushing over quickly might make them fall into the target’s tactic of feigning an attack elsewhere to draw them away, allowing the other party to escape with their profits from Stag Star.

Thus, they simply took out their communication stones to message the two hundred and ten level strong fighter, inquiring about the situation.

It was clear that they received no response.

Because this powerful two hundred and ten level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter had already been killed.

After successfully eliminating the two hundred and ten level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter, the Shadow King quickly re-entered his hiding state, taking Mares with him to the side of another nearby Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter.

When they arrived, this Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter was still waiting for a reply from the two hundred and ten level strong fighter while monitoring the surroundings for any small movements.

"This time, you attack, and I will remain in hiding!"

The Shadow King transmitted to Mares.

"No problem!"

Mares’s confidence soared.

If he could heavily injure a two hundred and ten level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter, he was sure that against an opponent of the same level, he could land a heavy strike as long as they made no mistakes.

A heavily injured opponent of the same level was simply no match for him.
