Chen Tian took the Tiandao Gravel and walked directly towards the portal. The light pillar above Moonlit Lake had not yet dissipated. Chen Ling stood watching from a distance. The entire ground trembled, and the dark night descended, engulfing Moonlit Lake. Dense crowds appeared above the lake. These were members of the Batian Guild and the Yunshui Guild, all lackeys of the Evil Spirits. Each person carried the aura of Evil Spirits, revealing the extent to which the entire guild had been corrupted.
"Batian, I didn't expect you to come here. It seems you are determined to get that item!"
"Yunshui, aren't you the same? You're just as fast. We both brought three thousand people. Let's compete based on our abilities!"
"Nonsense, you clearly have five thousand people. Are you trying to bully us because we have fewer?"
The Yunshui and Batian guilds were rival forces. Their meeting was bound to involve bickering, but this time, they didn't immediately resort to violence. They had a purpose for being here; they had to complete their adult's orders first. Both Batian and Yunshui were led by the guild leaders of their respective branch guilds, with levels at Emperor You 93, just shy of reaching the Divine Monarch level. They were incredibly powerful, all thanks to the Evil Spirit energy. Chen Tian, deep within Moonlit Lake, was unaware of the situation above. As Chen Tian emerged from the spatial rift, he saw the players inside Moonlit Lake and realized he had messed up.
Just as he was about to come ashore, he suddenly felt an Evil Spirit aura. He released his senses within Moonlit Lake, and this perception stunned him. What were the Yunshui and Batian guilds doing here?
No, it was the aura of Evil Spirits. It seemed they were lackeys of the Evil Spirits. Their purpose for being here could only be one: to eliminate Tiandao. However, they dared not rashly enter Moonlit Lake, which was currently intertwined with Tiandao power. If the Evil Spirit aura entered, the Tiandao power would annihilate it.
This didn't make sense. Then why were they all here?
Could it be because of Chen Tian? Chen Tian suddenly thought of a possibility and looked at the gravel in his hand. Impossible. How could the Evil Spirits calculate such things? Even if they knew Tiandao Gravel had appeared, why did they arrive at such a precise moment, coinciding with his ascent to shore?
Chen Tian gritted his teeth, unable to fathom why the Evil Spirits were here. However, since they were lackeys of the Evil Spirits, there was no need to let these two guilds remain. Chen Tian quickly moved towards the shore. In his perception, two individuals possessed the same aura as himself. As for the others, they were not a threat. The disparity in numbers was still significant. Chen Tian would struggle to face thousands of people surrounding him unless he had help. Chen Tian immediately brought up his interface and tapped on his friend list.
Chen Tian: 'Are you there? Come help me quickly. People from two major guilds are here.'
"Okay, Chen Tian, I'll be there immediately. Please wait a moment."
Chen Tian waited in the center of Moonlit Lake. Soon, a vortex opened beside him, and a young man slowly entered his view. Chen Tian saw that the young man's ID had been changed. Chen Tian spoke, "Up there, kill as many people as you want. Leave the leaders to me."
"Alright, I won't let a single one of Batian or Yunshui go."
Yun Tian said lightly. The person who arrived was Yun Shui from Gui Ming Mountain. Yun Shui had now changed his ID to Yun Tian, signifying a new beginning. He intended to kill every single person from the Yunshui Guild.
Chen Tian and Yun Tian walked towards the shore. To prevent the battle in Moonlit Lake from affecting the uncorrupted players, Chen Tian set up a barrier within Moonlit Lake. The players who had entered Moonlit Lake were now unable to leave. This was Chen Tian's action to protect them.
Chen Tian and Yun Shui flew out of Moonlit Lake. All the members of the two major guilds looked at Chen Tian in unison. Batian and Yun Shui, the leaders, shouted, "Attack!"
They didn't have a clear impression of Chen Tian and Yun Tian, but they had come with the sole purpose of acquiring the item from them. It was exactly as the Great One had predicted: their arrival would coincide with the appearance of their target. Without any hesitation, they attacked.
Countless spells, attacks, and special effects filled the sky. Yun Tian's eyes opened, and a massive barrier enveloped the entire firmament. All attacks struck the barrier and exploded. The attacks of thousands of people were thus resisted. Chen Tian and Yun Tian landed on the ground. Chen Tian looked at the thousands of people before him and said coldly, "You are not worthy of being called human!"
Chen Tian and Yun Shui looked at each other. Yun Shui could no longer suppress his desire to kill them. Terrifying killing intent and rage surged, and he charged directly into the crowd. Yun Tian's level had increased significantly over the past few days. It seemed the motivation for revenge was making Yun Tian increasingly powerful.
Yun Tian deeply resented the Yunshui Guild. His sister had died because of them. He was the only family she had left, and he wanted to avenge his sister by killing all the members of the Yunshui Guild.
Before the Yunshui Guild players could react, Yun Tian's long sword surged into the crowd, initiating a massacre. The long sword in Yun Tian's hand was filled with killing intent, his moves were obvious and lethal, giving no quarter. This long sword was the one Chen Tian had given to Yun Tian in Moonlit Lake. Using this sword to kill members of the Yunshui Guild would simultaneously erase their contracts and their very existence.
This saved Chen Tian the trouble of doing it one by one. The attacks of all the Yunshui Guild members felt like a tickle to Yun Tian. At this moment, Yun Tian's body was encased in various energy armors. Chen Tian had significantly boosted his stats. Currently, aside from the two leaders, no one else present could match Yun Tian. It was a one-sided slaughter.
"Batian Guild members, are you still going to watch? If we all die, you won't be any better off. Aren't you coming to help?"
In an instant, one-third of their numbers were dead or injured. Yun Tian was too fierce; they couldn't withstand him. The two leaders, looking at the situation behind them, were anxious to help, but Chen Tian stood in their way.
Chen Tian said calmly, "You two should play with me instead. As for the people behind you, rest assured, not a single one will be spared."
"Kid, you're seeking death!"
Yun Shui Kuang Long and Batian Meng Tian's anger erupted, as these players were the elites of their branch guilds! If they all died here, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves back home! Their auras erupted, trying to suppress Chen Tian fiercely. Chen Tian faced the pressure from the two of them without fear, completely unaffected. His expression remained calm as he stood his ground. Chen Tian extended a palm and struck out. The air vibrated slightly. Yun Shui Kuang Long and Batian Meng Tian defended themselves and took a step back.
"So strong."
This was the thought of both of them. Chen Tian was powerful; one move had forced them back. It seemed this battle would not end easily. However, the screams coming from behind them made them anxious.
"Let's join forces and deal with him first, then go after that kid."
"Alright."
The Yunshui and Batian guilds united. The two attacked Chen Tian from both sides. Chen Tian faced the two of them with a relaxed expression. Chen Tian could fight these two with seventy percent of his strength, perhaps even instantly kill them with his Samsara Body. However, the Divine Realm did not allow it. Chen Tian could only use two percent of his strength; exceeding that would cause the world to collapse.
Chen Tian could only fight them with a seven-three split, Chen Tian seven, them three. Chen Tian's calculation ability was even stronger when facing multiple opponents. Facing the pincer attack from both sides, Yun Shui Kuang Long struck out with his palms, while Batian Meng Tian swung his fists. Chen Tian's body swayed left and right. One punch, one palm, one beam of light, two beams of light lightly grazed various parts of his body. It was effortless.
Chen Tian had mastered the art of extreme evasion long ago; dodging such attacks was as easy as drinking water. Their attacks dodged, the two changed tactics, raising their left and right legs simultaneously to kick towards Chen Tian in the center. Chen Tian's figure flashed, and their legs struck a phantom image. Their left and right legs collided, creating a gust of wind. Chen Tian's figure was a mere afterimage.
"When?"
The two were horrified. When had Chen Tian become an afterimage? They had no idea! A figure zipped past them, and two thuds sounded. Yun Shui Kuang Long and Batian Meng Tian were pushed back several steps. Chen Tian stood behind them, looking as if nothing had happened. While dodging, Chen Tian had alternated between his real body and afterimages. After completing his evasion, the afterimage served as a visual decoy, and Chen Tian used his ability to conceal his aura to attack stealthily.
However, it had to be said that these two had some skill. They were completely unharmed by Chen Tian's full-power punch. Chen Tian would need some time to defeat them, especially when facing two opponents.
"Kid, are you sure you want to fight us to the death?"
"Do you know the power of our Yunshui and Batian guilds? You are courting death. If you retreat now, I can let bygones be bygones."
Yun Shui Kuang Long watched his guild members dwindling behind him, his heart churning. Why was Yun Tian constantly killing members of the Yunshui Guild? Why were none of the Batian Guild members being attacked? Did he have a grudge against the Yunshui Guild? He was killing them all. If Batian Meng Tian wasn't here, Yun Shui Kuang Long would have thought Yun Tian was hired by the Batian Guild to trick him. This guy only killed members of the Yunshui Guild and completely ignored the players from the Batian Guild. The Yunshui Guild members were being wiped out, while the Batian Guild remained intact. From any perspective, it looked like the Batian Guild had hired him.
