Volume 6 Chapter 78: The Final Battle Begins (7)

"Enemy attack!"

Feeling the violent tremors of the mountain and the frightening presence outside that shocked everyone, a previously silent man in black suddenly said coldly.

If Xu Qingfan were here, he would definitely recognize that this man in black was the mysterious master who had previously led a group of black-clad cultivators to collect the stones and dust from the blood-colored valley.

"An attack?"

Hearing the words of the man in black, the other members of Organization "An" were all in disbelief. They had always been the ones to attack others; when did they find themselves in a position of being attacked? Moreover, the existence of Organization "An" was extremely mysterious. How did the attackers find the location of their base?

"Hmph, I want to see who is so bold as to dare to attack us!"

A specimen nearly ten feet tall suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with fury and bloodthirst, and roared.

As he spoke, he turned to leave, clearly wanting to confront the attacker. The other specimens also hurried to follow him.

The man in black who had spoken earlier was clearly the leader of the old members of Organization "An." When he did not speak, the other old members kept silent, merely watching him quietly.

"Jiluo, don’t act too rashly."

The man in black moved swiftly, and in the next moment, he was standing in front of Jiluo, his eyes showing a look of disdain as he coldly said.

"Mingluo, what do you mean? They are already at our doorstep, and you won’t let me confront them?" Jiluo roared, spitting on Mingluo, but was met with the protective light surrounding Mingluo that scattered the spit away.

"Jiluo, the leader said before his retreat that we will take Mingluo as our main leader, have you already forgotten?" said an old member of the "An" organization coldly.

Just as Jiluo and the other experiments wanted to argue, Mingluo spoke up first, saying coldly, "Think carefully. As the saying goes, ‘those who come are not friendly, and friendly people do not come.’ Since someone dares to challenge our ‘An’ organization, they must be strong. As leaders, we are being watched by our subordinates; we must be cautious. It is not the time for rushed actions, although that’s all you’re good for."

Hearing Mingluo’s sarcasm, Jiluo grew even angrier. Just before a great battle against the monsters, Jiluo was about to start a fight with Mingluo when a humble voice suddenly came from outside the room.

"This is subordinate number nineteen, I seek to meet you, great lords."

Mingluo did not even glance at Jiluo’s murderous gaze and coldly said, "Come in."

As Mingluo’s words echoed, the wall behind him slowly cracked open, and a thin man in black quickly entered, bowing deeply to everyone in the room.

"Reporting to you, great lords, we have an enemy attack…"

"We know there is an enemy attack; just tell us the details. How many people are there? What is their power? Why did we only find out about the enemy attack once they attacked us? What about those responsible for defense and vigilance?"

Jiluo impatiently interrupted the visitor and asked urgently.

Jiluo is famously brutal and deadly in the "An" organization, whether towards enemies or his own people. When the newcomer heard Jiluo’s question, he could not help but tremble. His voice, filled with fear, also carried a hint of disbelief as he replied.

"My lord, there is one person who has come. I do not know which force he belongs to, as he is not associated with any of the known powers in the cultivation world. He is not any famous expert from the cultivation world, but he is extremely strong. As for the twelve small teams responsible for defense, they are currently fighting this person, but by the time I arrived, half of them had already been killed or injured. The elite Teams Four and Five have rushed to provide support. He arrived two quarters of an hour ago. His strength is so overwhelming that the teams could only resist until now and finally managed to inform us."

When everyone heard report number nineteen, they were all shocked—one, because they didn’t expect only one person to come, and two, because they didn’t expect this person’s strength to be so great!

It should be noted that each team under the "An" organization has twenty creations made by Zhang Xusheng, with ten above the Condensed Core Stage and ten below, led by one creation at the Real Golden Core Stage. The strength of the twelve teams is enough to match that of a top-tier sect in the cultivation world, yet they were defeated by this newcomer in such a short time?

Could it be that the newcomer has reached the Mahayana Stage? But which Mahayana Stage master in the cultivation world possesses such a frightening and dangerous aura?

"Execute the head of the patrol and communication team. Also, what kind of being is this newcomer to be so powerful?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Mingluo’s eyes. After giving the cold command, he asked again.

"Uh…" Number nineteen’s eyes also showed a trace of disbelief. After a pause, with hesitation and a hint of fear, he said, "It is a monster!"

A monster?!

The people were even more confused because Zhang Xusheng often merged his subordinates with various monsters. So, his experimental subjects were often called demons. The strange and unusual appearances in the "An" organization were considered normal, but for members of the "An" organization to call something a demon was quite strange.

While speaking, Number Nineteen described the demon’s appearance again, with even more fear in his voice.

Mingluo seemed to remember something, a look of fear flashing in his eyes. He quickly walked to a hidden switch on the stone wall and pressed it, revealing something like a loudspeaker. He hurriedly asked, "Did the monster in the dungeon escape?"

Hearing Mingluo’s words, everyone felt a wave of fear.

The dungeon was located at the deepest part of "Black Glory Valley," guarded by heavy troops from the "An" organization. Inside the dungeon were some of the monsters that Zhang Xusheng had created over the years. These monsters were so powerful that even Zhang Xusheng could only create and defeat them, but not control them. At that moment, with Zhang Xusheng in seclusion, if these monsters broke out of the dungeon, the "Ming" organization would immediately face a disaster!

"I am here, and those monsters cannot cause any trouble. The attacker does not come from here. You can just take care of what you need to do. I warn you kindly, based on their aura, the enemy is extremely powerful, almost equal to me, but under the strict order of my master, I must guard the dungeon. You need to be careful."

After a moment, a cold voice came from the loudspeaker, sounding somewhat indifferent and as if watching from a distance.

Hearing this voice, everyone slowly let out a sigh of relief. But beside this relief, they felt even more alarmed. The enemy’s strength was surprisingly not beneath that of the dungeon guard? That person was Zhang Xusheng’s unique and perfect creation!

Just then, the mountain wall, which had been quiet for a long time, began to tremble again, and the fierce and dangerous aura grew stronger, showing that the intruder was attacking the mountain once more.

"Number One wishes to see you, my lords."

Just then, a terrified voice echoed from outside the door.

"Come in."

Mingluo thought deeply about a plan, frowning as he spoke.

Another cultivator in black swiftly entered the room, kneeling and saying urgently, "My lords, the intruder is too powerful. The twelve small teams assigned to guard were completely wiped out, and the elite teams four and five that went to support suffered heavy losses as well. The more people that demon kills, the stronger it becomes. We can no longer hold out."

In the elite team, there was a specimen with Golden Core Stage power leading, and all the members had reached Condensed Core Stage. They had several powerful abilities more than other specimens, yet they were defeated so quickly?

"Activate the heavenly level defense formation; we must withstand the intruder!"

After hearing from the dungeon keeper that the coming person’s strength was no less than his own, Jiluo lost the courage he had before to rush out and fight. Upon hearing how strong that demon was, he hurriedly said.

"Have you gone mad?" Mingluo frowned and rebutted, "The heavenly level defense formation is too powerful. The intruder shouldn’t be from the Righteous Alliance, and once we activate this defense, while it may block the intruder, our position will soon be known to all the cultivators in the Shenzhou Continent."

"What should we do? Should we let our men go out in groups and be killed? The enemy is so powerful, and although we have reinforced this mountain, if we allow him to attack freely, it won’t be long before he breaks through."

Jiluo replied with a question.

After thinking for a moment, Mingluo said coldly, "Activate the Human Level defense formation. You all follow me out, and let’s see what kind of divine being the newcomer truly is!"

Saying this, Mingluo quickly led the old members of the "An" organization outside the mountain. Jiluo and the other test subjects hesitated for a moment before gritting their teeth and following Mingluo out.

Although the Human Level defense formation is the weakest among the three main defenses at the base, it is enough to withstand the attack of one or two ordinary Mahayana cultivators. With Mingluo, Jiluo, and the others, unless the enemy is at the same level as Zhang Xusheng, it should be able to resist everything. In fact, every high-level member of the "An" organization has the strength to defeat two or three elite teams; it’s just that they cannot do it as quickly and easily as the newcomer.

As Mingluo quickly walked towards the mountain exit, he said to the person beside him, "Diluo, you should not go. Go check how far the ‘Disaster Cloud’ production has progressed. We must be prepared for the worst."

Diluo was startled. The "Disaster Cloud" is one of the ultimate weapons of the "An" organization, extremely powerful. Collecting the soil and stones from the blood-colored valley was also to enhance the power of the "Disaster Cloud." He nodded and turned to walk quickly in another direction.

…

"That monster’s strength is becoming even more powerful. With so many cultivators here, including many experts, it was able to kill them all in such a short time. Is it because of its growing resentment, or because it has absorbed more living beings?"

With his eyes closed, Xu Qingfan felt the battle outside the mountain, sensing the rise and fall of energy and momentum. The expression on his face changed along with it. From start to finish, Xu Qingfan seemed to hear the unwilling and terrified cries of the "An" organization members before they died.

Suddenly, Xu Qingfan felt an enormous presence appearing outside the mountain, and a smile returned to the corner of his mouth.

"Finally, some top experts have arrived… Whether they are demons or those top experts, they must be feeling troubled."

While murmuring to himself, Xu Qingfan slowly closed his eyes again, sensing the new battle outside the mountain.

At the same time, the masters of the Righteous Alliance were quickly flying toward "Black Glory Valley," with countless Righteous Alliance experts following behind them.

A true battle was about to begin!
