Chapter 407: 404 powerful

Lin Jianying was mentioned.

The Eleven Elders, whose interest had originally faded, were now intrigued once more.

The glint in their eyes also grew more pronounced.

However, this also made the atmosphere among the eleven people present somewhat strange.

They began sizing each other up quietly.

Their gazes were filled with scrutiny and caution.

Someone spoke up immediately, getting straight to the point,

“Didn’t Feng Xiu recently make a fuss, claiming that the matter with Lin Jianying was orchestrated by him in collaboration with someone among us?

Even saying that Lin Jianying is now in the hands of one of us?

Whoever pulled it off, speak up, will you? Is it Old Zhang or Old Zhao?

Out of all of us, you two are the most cunning.

With such a big matter about the Gate, don’t hide it!”

This statement directed the fire towards Zhang Mingge and Zhao Xue’en.

The Eleven Elders’ gazes suddenly focused on these two, to which Zhang Mingge retorted with a sneer, “For you to say this at this time, you’re not lacking in cunning either!

Don’t be a thief crying ‘stop thief!'”

“Don’t falsely accuse me…”

“Enough, enough, anyone with eyes can see that it was Zero’s doing. We’ve worked together for over a hundred years and understand each other well.

We are people who would risk our lives for the Alliance; how could we possibly collaborate with Zero?

It’s a trampling on our century of effort!”

In comparison to Zhang Mingge, Zhao Xue’en’s words were much more palatable.

With his statement, the instigator could only touch his nose and change the subject.

“If it might relate to Lin Jianying, then we should be more cautious in our approach.

We can’t just simply kill the person.”

“Yeah, let those old buddies hold back and spare her life!”

After all, although Lin Jianying was an insignificant figure, he had clues that led directly to the Gate.

The Eleven Elders still placed considerable importance on him.

Whether to kill Dudu or not, they would wait until they obtained the information they wanted from Dudu.

Meanwhile, the Eleven Elders were also watching each other at this moment.

Although they didn’t say it aloud, they still harbored suspicions about the veteran group around them.

At this time, anyone who dealt a heavy blow to kill Dudu would be under great suspicion.

Thus, the Eleven Elders silently communicated with their Summoned Beasts, signaling them to hold back and not kill the person.

“Not good!”

Just then, the first one to make contact changed his expression, which caught the attention of those nearby.

“What? Too late with the notification? Is the person already dead?”

This sinister statement put the spotlight on that individual.

However, it was at that moment that everyone’s complexion changed.

“What’s going on?”

“What happened?”

…

The Eleven Elders showed a look of shock, and their faces whitened at that moment, with some even bleeding from their mouths.

Everyone’s gaze at that moment focused on the spot originally marked by cracks, and almost simultaneously as they looked, the gap that had just been closed was opened again.

A supremely graceful figure, dragging the corpse of a Bimong Giant Beast came out calmly from the gap.

Behind her was the ruined Secret Realm and the corpses of ten Summoned Beasts, almost reduced to ashes.

Looking at the figure in front of them and the gruesome battlefield behind her, the Eleven Elders felt a sense of panic when they saw the cold gaze Dudu directed at them for the first time.

“How is this possible? How could she possess such terrifying power?”

“To instantly kill eleven Epic 2 Star Summoned Beasts; that’s simply beyond human capability, even those few couldn’t achieve this!”

“The Gate! It must be the power of the Gate!

The Gate Fragment on her must be one of the core components, not as simple as we imagined!”

“This item is too dangerous; it absolutely cannot be left outside; we must retrieve it!”

…

After a brief panic, the Eleven Elders’ faces again showed an undeniable covetousness.

They coveted the potential Gate Fragment on Dudu.

At this moment, they still hadn’t realized the severity of the situation, their minds full of thoughts of reclaiming the Gate Fragment from Dudu.

Thus, the eleven Elders did what they believed to be the most correct thing in the first moment.

“Roar!” “Howl!”…

Another series of roaring sounds emanated.

The next moment, dozens of terrifying giant beasts descended again.

This time, the Eleven Elders brought out all their trump cards.

They definitely would not make the same mistake twice, having already sent a wave of troops to Dudu, they would not send a second wave.

To kill, they would exert all their strength.

Nearly twenty Epic Level Summoned Beasts appeared simultaneously.

The Eleven Elders’ full power erupted.

This was almost the peak power of this world, the most showcased in the recent decades.

The incredible aura burst forth from Elder Mountain.

To ordinary people, these levels of Summoners already seemed like deities.

At this moment, just the presence of these Summoned Beasts and their unintentionally revealed auras began to visibly affect ordinary people within a hundred miles.

To ordinary people, they felt as if they were experiencing an apocalyptic wrath of gods.

Their hearts were oppressed by endless fear, living in perpetual unease.

However, at this time, no one cared about the ordinary people.

Including those eleven Elders who talked of the Alliance and ignored humans; their focus was entirely on Dudu.

They dreaded the strength Dudu displayed and coveted the Gate Fragment that definitely existed on her.

On the other hand, Feng Xiu and the Fifth Messenger, who had barely escaped from Dudu’s hands not long ago, sensed it and looked up at Elder Mountain with a change in expression.

“Has this woman really made her way to Elder Mountain?”

“Crazy! She’s a madwoman, but I like this kind of craziness, actually pulling off such a mad act!”

“I wonder where she got the power to push these old fossils to this extent?”

“More than where her power came from, I want to know if any of those old fossils can die this time? If a few die, the world will be much more interesting going forward!”

Feng Xiu said madly, a smile on his face.

At the same time, not far from Elder Mountain, Zhang Yunyi’s lips also curled up.

“Although it’s not in my planned scenario, I’m still pleased to see it escalate like this. Let it get even bigger.

It’s better if a few old fossils die.

They’ve kept the Alliance waters too calm; a few deaths would stir things up.”

District 2, 3, 4…

At this time, who knows how many people in the Alliance were watching, directly or indirectly, the situation at Elder Mountain.

The Alliance had developed over a hundred years.

In that hundred years, countless prodigies had emerged, both openly and secretly.

Some of them shone as brightly as Lu Wu, but most could only conceal their own radiance, lurking at the roadside like stones or like weeds.

Because above their heads loomed a mountain, a mountain in the truest sense, named “Elder.”

To these people, this decaying mountain suppressed many things.

Indeed, many in the Alliance had thought of shattering this mountain, but thoughts were just thoughts, and actions were actions.

Everyone knew the terror of this mountain.

Or rather, no one truly knew its terror.

Thus, for the past decades, no one had challenged it.

No one dared, because what they would be challenging were the supremely powerful beings who had survived from the previous era.

Moreover, the cost of such a challenge was immense.

Should one fail, the price to pay would be one’s life.

But now, the first dragon slayer had appeared, and people were still very eager to see an excellent performance from Pang Duddu.

They didn’t need Dudu to completely shatter this mountain; they just wanted to glimpse the true face of this mountain, so these long-suppressed beings might emerge.

Of course, Dudu definitely knew nothing and cared nothing about these things.

She just wanted to kill the eleven elders in front of her.

On Lu Wu’s side, he also neither knew nor cared.

At this moment, upon sensing the eruption from Elder Mountain, he likewise erupted.

He rarely did so, but he called forth his Han out from within himself and, casting all caution to the wind, he rushed towards Elder Mountain.

“We must, we must catch up!”

…

At Elder Mountain.

Eleven elders, fully unleashed, surrounded Dudu.

However, they didn’t attack right away.

Uncertain of Dudu’s power and strategies, no one wanted to be the first to strike.

They were old beings who had lived for centuries and when it came to cherishing their lives, they indeed had much say.

So, while surrounding Dudu, they said, “Miss Pang, hand over what you have on you. Keeping those items in your hands is too dangerous for both the Alliance and humanity!”

“And hand over Lin Jianying as well!”

“He’s been corrupted by evil, and now he’s become a nuisance. We can’t let him roam free!”

“We admit that our previous actions were a bit extreme, but everything was for the Alliance and humanity. It was a necessary evil.

Can’t you see by now? You’ve been completely used by Lin Jianying.

The power of that thing is great, but there’s a price to pay for using it, right?

Hand it over to us…”

…

These elders were still very adept at their rhetoric.

They spoke from a grand perspective, touching deeply into human emotions. Their pleas were earnest and immensely moving but ultimately futile.

“Is this your last word?”

Dudu looked at the people in front of her, her gaze as steady as if she were looking at dead men.

The calm tone and gaze made the Eleven Elders instantly realize that Dudu’s resolve to kill them was unshakable, rendering further discussion pointless.

“So much talk, it seems we have to resort to action after all!”

“Young lady, you’ve made the worst choice. I hope you won’t regret this decision of yours!”

“Since it’s like this, then you better be prepared!”

…

The Eleven Elders shook their heads while speaking and exerted their power, their aura continually rising.

An overpowering momentum further erupted.

This burst not only failed to harm Dudu but also caused deeper injury to the ordinary people within a hundred li.

Those who were already anxious were now suffering from splitting headaches, and some with preexisting poor heart conditions or poor health even fell into a coma at this moment.

The Eleven Elders still didn’t care.

“Charge!”

As Zhao Xue’en shouted the command, the Eleven Elders and their summoned beasts unleashed their power instantly.

At that moment, at least thirty skills, whose skill levels were above Lu Wu’s “Slaughter of Living Beings,” exploded.

The terrifying power, enough to destroy heaven and earth, all smashed down on Dudu simultaneously.

These attacks were also highly methodical, handling control, damage, sealing, and destruction.

A complete damage system precisely hit Dudu, instantly overwhelming her.

The aftermath of this outbreak was even more terrifying, causing heavy damage even to Elder Mountain within a ten li radius.

People within a hundred li suffered heavy casualties, and even those farther away, within two hundred li, were not spared.

This wave of attack inevitably caused irreversible damage to the ordinary people within the affected area.

Yet the Eleven Elders, who often spoke of the Alliance and humanity, still did not care.

Caring would weaken their power to some extent and might also allow Dudu to seize an opportunity.

Faced with the Dudu who could instantly kill eleven epic 2-star beings, they dared not be careless.

For them, sacrificing some ordinary people was worthwhile to capture Dudu.

After all, this was for the Alliance and humanity!

In their view, the sacrifice of ordinary people was also worth it.

Watching Dudu being overwhelmed by attacks, the Eleven Elders finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“We’ve finally captured her!”

“It’s a pity, in that situation, we couldn’t afford to hold back; otherwise, we could have spared her life to find out Lin Jianying’s whereabouts.”

“But it doesn’t matter, as long as we get the Gate Fragment, Lin Jianying won’t be able to stir up much trouble!”

…

In the eyes of the Eleven Elders, Dudu was almost certainly dead.

She couldn’t possibly survive.

After all, such a wave of attack, which even the leader of the Zero Organization, deemed the closest being to a god recently, couldn’t withstand, let alone Dudu, who forcibly erupted power through a fragment.

At that moment, hundreds of li away, Lu Wu froze on the spot.

Though he was hundreds of li away, he still profoundly felt the terror of that wave of attack.

That recent burst of attack, let alone thirty strikes together, even one-tenth of one of those strikes would have been too much for Lu Wu to bear.

Facing so many attacks, could Dudu still be alive?

Lu Wu had no confidence in his heart!

And those secretly watching also changed their expressions.

This was also the first time they clearly saw the power of Elder Mountain, a terrifying force that discouraged any thoughts of resistance.

“It seems we had better behave from now on.”

“Endure it, hoping to outlast these elders; maybe then there might be a glimmer of hope to come out on top.”

…

While these people were losing heart, the attack from Elder Mountain that made the whole world despair instantly vanished without any sign or trace.

At the same moment, Dudu, who was in the center of that attack, reappeared, and with her, a piece of pure, jade-like gate fragment…
