Chapter 406: Chapter 218: Each Showing Their Skills

In the woods, an imminent, explosive battle was momentarily at peace before it began, restored to tranquility.

Meng Wuchang came prepared; he had made several arrangements for the assassins from the Azure Dragon Association.

The Divine Fire Cannon and the Black Spirit Rain were highly effective mass slaughter methods against the numerous assassins of the Azure Dragon Association. Even though the Azure Dragon Association had methods for quickly creating Ashes Warriors, they ultimately still required people.

During the fierce battle at Dragon Tiger Mountain, ten thousand Ashes Warriors of the Azure Dragon Association died. The loss of these tens of thousands of warriors was also a significant drain on their resources, which must have been a headache for Gong Ziyu.

After all, even if they could capture ordinary citizens to create Ashes Warriors, the capture of tens of thousands would not go unnoticed by the information network of the Six Gates.

However, Meng Wuchang had not received news of a large number of civilians disappearing from the Six Gates, so he believed that because the Azure Dragon Association had offended many, they did not dare to recklessly capture civilians to create Ashes Warriors.

"This is the opportunity."

A glint of sharp light flashed in Meng Wuchang’s eyes. By completely draining the assassins of the Azure Dragon Association, even if Gong Ziyu did not appear today, he could gradually locate the various bases of the Azure Dragon Association, and even their main headquarters, through tracing the disappeared civilians, thus completely eliminating this assassin organization and Gong Ziyu.

As long as he lived, he would relentlessly pursue the Azure Dragon Association, giving them no chance to breathe.

Meng Wuchang’s plan was similarly discerned by Qing Yu.

This former Divine Catcher truly lived up to his name, perceptive and sharp, spotting this loophole. After all, Ashes Warriors were still materials, and no matter how cheap, they required raw materials. By keeping an eye on the raw materials, there was no fear of not knowing where these materials would ultimately end up.

With the high casualty rate of the Azure Dragon Association, there would definitely be a tremendous consumption. Even if they were deceived by tactics once or twice, as long as they kept watching, there would eventually be results.

"Such clever calculations," Qing Yu sneered coldly, "Pity, you do not know that my raw materials have never been from the Central Plains."

Further north from Northern Zhou lay the Northern Grassland. There it was a place of survival of the fittest, where the occasional disappearance of a tribe or two was not something extraordinary.

Qing Yu was never short of raw materials for Ashes Warriors and was unafraid of Meng Wuchang tracing them.

"You walked into the trap full of confidence, unaware that I am just as confident."

At that moment, the silence below was once again broken, and eight figures, draped in black cloaks, slowly emerged from the woods, surrounding the group from the Six Gates from afar.

"Is this... the Black Envoy?" Shang Yi uncertainly observed the eight figures in black cloaks.

The Azure Dragon Association had been rampaging through the worldly society up to now, and the worldly people had almost figured out the status of the Azure Dragon Association’s assassins.

Currently, three different types of assassins had appeared from the Azure Dragon Association.

The lowest level were those clad in night clothes wielding thin swords, known as ’Exorcism Sword Guards’—the most basic assassins.

Above them were the Blood Bat Guards, who wore Blood Clothes, retained their consciousness but had fierce, beast-like demeanors. Apart from Blood Bat No.1, the rest of the Blood Bat Guards were as bloodthirsty as maniacs, resembling beasts more than humans.

Higher up were those dressed in black tight outfits with black face masks, the Demon Blade Guards. They cultivated a peculiar Slaughter Demon Sword, whose murderous aura metamorphosed, capable of blocking or even injuring the Divine Sense of Martial Artists in the Divine Origin Realm.

If not for these Demon Blade Guards being genuinely disposable tools, the terror of the Azure Dragon Association in the worldly society would have escalated further.

Among these three types, even the Blood Bat Guards that retained their consciousness acted entirely driven by their beastly nature, showing no signs of their retained consciousness when they moved.

So, apart from those three types of assassins, there would also be those in black cloaks, whose minds were no different from a normal person, called the Black Envoys, directing the assassins to slaughter. They had excellent survival abilities, but when it came down to fighting, they could just have a back-and-forth with the Exorcism Sword Guard.

Shang Yi had seen captured Black Envoys, but he had never heard that Black Envoys could possess such powerful Martial Arts.

That surging True Qi was comparable even with the Divine Origin Realm.

Then, Shang Yi saw the True Qi of these suspected Black Envoys surge again, their amount of True Qi having already surpassed an average warrior of the Divine Origin Realm.

"They used a Forbidden Technique," Meng Wuchang stepped forward and said.

He shouted into the surrounding woods, "Gong Ziyu, have you run out of tricks? Trying to have eight Innate Realm users who utilized Forbidden Techniques fight me to the death?"

Unexpectedly, Meng Wuchang’s words received a response.

"Why not try for yourself and see if I’ve run out of tricks, Divine Catcher Meng?"

The voice was elusive, echoing back and forth in the mountain winds; despite Meng Wuchang’s extensive knowledge in peculiar skills and techniques, he was unable to locate the source of the voice.

Qing Yu’s voice still echoed in the wind, "Divine Catcher Meng, I’ve already arrived. I hope you won’t flee in panic later. If you miss this opportunity, there may not be another chance to find me.

If Brother Jin knew that his master had given up what might be the only chance for revenge, he might not rest in peace underground."

"Oh, by the way, Brother Jin’s real name is Jin Mingxuan. It’s the pseudonym your disciple Lian Jin used to infiltrate Mountain River Academy. I personally killed Brother Jin, and his body was immediately destroyed, leaving not even ashes.

Moreover, your right hand is still kept as a trophy in the Azure Dragon Association; Divine Catcher Meng, do you want your arm back? Then you must seize this opportunity."

"Sir," Shang Yi looked worriedly at Meng Wuchang’s heaving chest.

It was evident that Qing Yu’s taunting words had greatly angered Meng Wuchang. In such a crucial moment of battle, if Meng Wuchang, as the strongest force and leader, lost control of his emotions, the consequences would be worrisome.

Just as Shang Yi was about to offer some advice, the True Qi of the eight black-clad cloaked figures surrounding them shot out from their Heavenly Spirits, merging together above them.

The eight distinct streams of True Qi, each a different color, met in the sky and formed a massively fierce Primordial Qi Ball.

It was indeed the ’Circulation Eight Extremes Formation’ which had previously appeared in the Northern Zhou Imperial Palace and its purpose, naturally, was much the same as before.

The True Qi forcefully enhanced by the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique began to riot within their bodies, causing the bodies of the eight to explode into a bloody mist, filling the surrounding air.

Simultaneously, the Primordial Qi Ball in the sky burst into action.

The eight forces engendered each other, continuously drawing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and then, it exploded...

"Boom—"

The powerful shockwave cleared away all the ’Black Spirit Rain’ that was still falling, unleashing a tremendously powerful blast that ravaged through the woods, shattering the mountain rocks, and uprooting grand trees. The bodies of the assassins lying under the ’Black Spirit Rain’ were also torn apart by the Qi Force, limbs scattering everywhere.

Meng Wuchang thought that by not entering the villa, he would no longer taste the flavor of explosions, little did he know, Qing Yu’s bombs could now move.
