Chapter 689: Taking Down a Small Team

Yi Chen activated the Map of Mountains and Rivers once more. Up close, even though the one hundred ninety level Tree-Dwelling Tribe member was prepared, he struggled to resist the terrifying pulling force.

This was the true terror of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

With various exceptional materials and unmatched crafting skills, Yi Chen’s improved Map of Mountains and Rivers ranked among the finest treasures at the same level.

Faced with strong fighters from four or five major realms higher, if taken by surprise at close range, he could even draw them into the Map of Mountains and Rivers space.

However, once drawn in, the Five Elements Formation within the Map was far from enough to subdue a two hundred level strong fighter.

If given time, this two hundred level Tree-Dwelling Tribe member could undoubtedly use his powerful attack ability to break through the Map’s defensive formation from within.

Yet, Yi Chen only needed the Map of Mountains and Rivers to catch the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter off guard and draw him in at close range.

It didn’t matter if the Map couldn’t hold or kill the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter; inside was Boses, a two hundred twenty level Boljin Tribe strong fighter.

Moreover, the space of the Map of Mountains and Rivers was a dimensional space.

As long as Boses controlled his power and didn’t allow the residual effects of his attacks to breach the Map, the various Energy Auras inside would not leak out.

Furthermore, since the Map belonged to treasures, any energy injected would convert into corresponding power of the laws.

No one could determine the user’s race through energy fluctuations.

Boom!

Inside the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Another loud bang erupted.

The one hundred ninety level Tree-Dwelling Tribe high-end combatant, just pulled into the Map, hadn’t even grasped the situation when Boses appeared in front of him and delivered a punch that obliterated his physical body and soul.

The next second, the Shadow King brought Yi Chen to the second one hundred ninety level Tree-Dwelling Tribe high-end combatant.

He maintained his hiding state throughout since he hadn’t participated in the attack, leaving no trace behind.

Yi Chen also drew this one hundred ninety level Tree-Dwelling Tribe high-end combatant into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

“The attack, it must be the Shadow King. His biggest weakness is that once he uses other abilities, his hiding state fails, and he cannot enter it again within a short time.”

“No matter what method he uses to make Lord Matthews disappear, we just need to unleash widespread attacks, and we can force him to abandon his hiding state and flee.”

The remaining Tree-Dwelling Tribe high-end combatants, sensing the disappearance of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter and the two one hundred ninety level high-end combatants after detecting minimal treasure energy fluctuations, finally began to react.

All the Tree-Dwelling Tribe members started launching attacks in all directions.

Unfortunately, they were all in vain.

With the first Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter taken down immediately, the two hundred plus level Shadow King surpassed these Tree-Dwelling Tribe high-end combatants in both speed and reaction.

He swiftly moved between the Tree-Dwelling Tribe high-end combatants, getting closer to them rapidly.

Yi Chen also continuously activated the Map of Mountains and Rivers, drawing one Tree-Dwelling Tribe high-end combatant after another into the space within the Map.

Inside the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Boses used only two punches to deal with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter, while the rest of the high-end combatants were obliterated in one punch that destroyed both their bodies and souls.

In a moment, only half of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe high-end combatants, who had been frantically attacking in all directions, remained.

They began to scatter and flee.

As expected,

The Shadow King, using his faster speed, targeted anyone who tried to escape and quickly caught up to them.

At first glance, it seemed like the Shadow King was just circling around the group of high-end combatants from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

The farther the Tree-Dwelling Tribe members fled, the sooner the Shadow King approached them, drawing them into the Map of Mountains and Rivers, where Yi Chen eliminated them.

It took Yi Chen four or five hours to drain the luck of over one hundred Tree-Dwelling Tribe members.

However, with teamwork, it only took four or five minutes to kill those hundred plus Tree-Dwelling Tribe members.

This was still considering that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe high-end combatants sensed something was wrong and began to scatter; otherwise, the time spent would have been even shorter.

“Let’s go! Next batch!”

Seeing that all the Tree-Dwelling Tribe members were dealt with, Yi Chen immediately instructed the Shadow King to continue.

The Shadow King promptly took Yi Chen’s flying treasure and sped away from the area.

Once they were far from the area, he canceled the hiding state and used the collected Energy Aura to locate the next targets.

After confirming the coordinates, Yi Chen switched to the Large Battleship and headed to the target location.

…

“Attacked by the Shadow King? How is that possible?”

In the outer space of a life planet, Bunier, after eliminating a batch of attacking armies from various tribes, was contacting the human federation’s Large Battleship to take him to the next life planet when he received news from a two hundred and ten level strong fighter.

“I’m not sure. I just received a distress call from one of my one hundred ninety level subordinates. He said their team’s strong fighter, Matthews, suddenly disappeared. Then, before he could explain, we lost contact.”

The two hundred and ten level strong fighter was also uncertain about the situation.

“Contact other subordinates to ask what’s going on,” Bunier decided.

“Understood!”

After Bunier ended the call, the two hundred and ten level strong fighter quickly reached out to the other members of the team.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes…

Bunier waited for over ten minutes but still didn’t receive any notification from the two hundred and ten level strong fighter. Feeling like something was off, he took the initiative to send a communication request.

The two hundred and ten level strong fighter quickly connected.

The outcome was just as Bunier had feared; none of the team members were reachable.

It was highly likely they had all been wiped out.

“Why would this happen?”

The only one capable of silently approaching a Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter in the entire star cluster was undoubtedly the Shadow King.

“Damn Shadow King, damn Shadow Clan. Could it be that damned Morris has materials to refine powerful binding treasures?” Bunier felt a massive headache.

From Morris, he learned that among all the treasures taken by the Shadow King, there were high-quality immortal materials that could greatly increase talent limits.

However, these high-quality immortal materials could at most only boost the Shadow King’s talent limit; they wouldn’t allow him to break through even a small realm.

Even with a greatly increased talent limit, without hundreds or thousands of years of hard training, one couldn’t break through a small realm.

Moreover, due to the limitations of the laws of heaven, the star cluster also couldn’t allow beings above level one hundred fifty to break through to a higher realm.

Thus, he had never taken this seriously.

He boldly allowed the strong fighters to form teams to search for the attacking armies from various tribes.

It had already been a big overestimation to keep the high-end combatants from separating from the strong fighters.

But now it seems he had underestimated the Shadow King’s assassination abilities.

According to his analysis, the main reason was that he ignored the possibility that Morris’s stolen treasures included materials for refining powerful binding treasures, or perhaps the Shadow Clan already possessed such treasures but hadn’t used them before, or if they had, they hadn’t been discovered by the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.
