Chapter 1149: Clash with Three Protectors (3)
Inside Earthen Pillar Jail...
"Umm! The tactical formation that combines these two elements is quite effective. If I use this method to combine the defensive tactical formation with the slaughtering tactical formation by also combining other elements into them, it would be great!"
The reason why Zheng-Fu stood still was not because he was affected in any way. But because he was constantly thinking about implementing Protector Terra's tactical formation, he just stood there, not paying attention to Protector Ignis's underlings, who had now flocked inside the cage to kill him.
"It would be better if I could combine all the elements without any problems. Because if I can do that…"
Groaaaaan!!!
But at the moment Zheng-Fu was standing there thinking, a demon monster charged at him with sharp claws, hoping to kill him in a single blow.
Hah!?
"Annoying!"
Flap!
Slash!
Thud!
But that demon monster could not do anything to Zheng-Fu. It was instantly killed. With just one flick of his hand, it was torn in half. And Zheng-Fu's attack did not end there. The destructive energy from his stance remained, and it rushed towards another demon monster following behind.
Slash!
Booooom!!!
The result was no different from what happened to the first demon monster whose body was cut in half.
[Test 1/10; Collect the souls of 901/1,000,000 evil demons]
And immediately, the number of evil souls he had to gather increased.
Ah!
"I'll think about tactical formations for later. Now, what I should do is defeat these demon monsters to gather evil souls first. As far as I could see, there were probably no fewer than two thousand of them. And this time, I won't make the same mistake as last time!" When Zheng-Fu regained consciousness and saw a large group of demon monsters entering the cage, he put aside the matter of tactical formation first. Then turned his attention to dealing with them to collect evil souls and their remains as well.
Far away, at the place where Quan-Song's team was…
"Hunter Guild has received the report. They'll send senior hunters here soon. While we wait, they ask us to take care of ourselves and record the situation," said Quan-Song. He was very relieved to receive a reply from the guild. Most senior hunters were seven-star hunters, and their energy levels were at the intermediate Deity Monarch Stage and above.
Umm!
"If that's the case, that's fine. But that man was locked up, and many demon monsters were attacking him. I don't know if he can survive until the senior hunters arrive?"
"True! I pray that he is safe. It was because of him that the monster beast escaped and allowed us to escape from the Blood Tomb. If he survives, I'll definitely repay him!"
"It's not just you, Feng-Qiao. We want to repay him as well!"
Umm!
After moving away nearly twenty li further, as they were unable to resist the pressure released by the three protectors, everyone felt much more at ease. The new area was safer than before. And the guild had already contacted them back.
Returning to Zheng-Fu...
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Groaaaan!!!
The current situation inside the Earthen Pillar Jail was that Protector Ignis's underlings were being frantically killed by Zheng-Fu. No matter how many of them there were or how they swarmed Zheng-Fu from every direction, they could not do anything to Zheng-Fu at all. They were nothing more than targets for him to kill and collect their bodies leisurely, as if he were shopping at a flea market.
"Hey! Is that all you guys have? Send them in for more. If you don't send all of them in, you guys probably won't be able to kill me!" Zheng-Fu did not know how many demon monster underlings the three protectors still had left. But he wanted to get more and more of them, so he tried to provoke the three protectors to send more and more of their underlings.
Damn crazy!
"Why could it be like that? Shouldn't he be weakened by the increased gravity of your Terra Tactical Formation?! But why was he not affected at all?!" Protector Ignis was very upset at that time because he had already lost more than five hundred to six hundred underlings. And it seemed that the number of losses was increasing more and more. If possible, he wanted to summon his underlings who had entered to come out immediately. But it was impossible because once someone entered inside, they could not come out until the tactical formation was ordered to stop working.
"I don't know why he isn't affected by the gravity of my tactical formation. Even though my tactical formation and gravity are still working well. And I have complete control over it, if there's something wrong with tactical formation, I'll know it!" Protector Terra had no idea what was going on inside there. He was controlling it from the outside and felt that it was working normally.
Protector Aqua thought for a moment before speaking, "Perhaps that human has cultivated in areas with high gravity before and can adjust himself to the gravity of your tactical formation. If so, I'll limit his movement. However, once I activate this ability of my tactical formation, your gravitational effects will be immediately canceled, which may have a good or bad result!"
Seeing that Protector Terra's tactical formation could do nothing to Zheng-Fu, Protector Aqua offered to use his Aqua Tactical Formation's special feature. However, because their tactical formation integration was not yet perfect, the two functions could not be activated at the same time. And he still did not know the consequences.
"No matter what, we have to give it a try. It's better than doing nothing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any underlings left!" Protector Ignis did not care what the consequences would be. Just the slightest chance that his remaining underlings survived would be enough.
If so, then go ahead!
Flap!
Groooaaan!!!
Once the three protectors had agreed, Protector Terra immediately turned off the Terra Tactical Formation's gravity function before Protector Aqua instead activated Aqua Tactical Formation's movement restriction function to slow down Zheng-Fu's movement.
Hah!?
Zheng-Fu immediately realized the changes that were taking place. Previously, he had felt that inside the cage, there was a gravitational field that was working against him. But he had cultivated in a gravitational field before, so it was not difficult for him to get used to it.
But at that moment, he felt that the gravitational force had disappeared and was replaced by something that made him feel like he was in a mud pit. It slowed him down to a third of his normal speed.
"This must be some kind of Aqua Tactical Formation ability," Zheng-Fu muttered, easily guessing what the change was and what caused it. Because he could feel the water element energy floating in the atmosphere around him.
Huh!
"No matter what, you can't stop me!"
Booooom!!!
For someone with a non-characteristic element like Zheng-Fu, he could use every element's energy he wanted. As long as he absorbed the energy of that element and gained some understanding of it, he would be able to use that element. So, when he encountered a water element like that, Zheng-Fu summoned the fire element to heat his body. And when the atmosphere became hotter, the water element energy waves around him suddenly turned into steam and evaporated into the air.
Smirk!
When Zheng-Fu was able to deal with that water element energy, the feeling of being in a mud pit that restricted his movement suddenly disappeared. Moreover, without gravity, his speed increased, allowing him to kill the demon monsters inside the cage faster.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Groaaaaan!!!
[Test 1/10; Collect the souls of 1,559/1,000,000 evil demons]
[Test 1/10; Collect the souls of 1,560/1,000,000 evil demons]
[Test 1/10; Collect the souls of 1,566/1,000,000 evil demons]
The number of evil souls that Zheng-Fu had to collect increased rapidly according to the demon monsters he killed. And as time went on, the number kept increasing.
Nooooo!
"Stop it, you stupid bastard!"
Protector Ignis went mad and nearly spat out blood when he saw his underlings dying in larger numbers and faster than just now. He tried shouting for Zheng-Fu to stop. But no matter how madly he shouted, it had no effect at all.
"I don't care anymore, I'll go in and kill him myself! If you don't join in, please don't stop me. Otherwise, I'll attack you all too!" Protector Ignis could not bear to look at the sight in front of him. He did not care about anything but killing Zheng-Fu. And no matter who stopped him, he would not listen.
"Ignis, you should think carefully. If you enter inside, you may be affected by our tactical formations. Therefore, we..."
"Do you think I'm that weak? Huh! I'd like to tell you that no matter how much potential your tactical formations have, they won't be able to do anything to me!"
Booooom!!!
At that time, Protector Ignis became stubborn and did not listen to anyone anymore. He no longer had the calm and discreet demeanor he had before. Filled with anger and vengeance, he saw anyone who prevented him from killing Zheng-Fu as an enemy.
You!
"Let him go, Protector Terra! Right now, no matter what we say, he won't listen to us. So, now all we can do is give him our best assistance by sending all of our strongest underlings to help fight. And if after doing all of these we still cannot kill that human, we... probably won't be able to go back and see Master!"
Protector Aqua understood Protector Ignis's feelings, so he did not stop him. Instead, he would fully support him. Because if they all failed in their work, they would definitely be severely punished by the Blood Tomb's owner, the Master they respected.
"Agree! No matter what, we must end this matter as soon as possible. I have sensed a group of people is coming here, and they have hunter badges on their chests. You know well how much we try to conceal and hide the dangers of this place from the Hunter Guild. If they knew this and sent reinforcements here while we were fighting, the advantage would change immediately. And that may also affect Master, who is resting!"
"I know! Then let's end this matter as soon as possible! Ignis, you must complete this task and kill that human quickly, do you understand?!"
Huh!
"You guys don't have to tell me. I know what to do. As for you all, just do your tasks well!" Protector Ignis calmed down a bit when he heard his two comrades' words. Because what both protectors said was correct. If he could not kill Zheng-Fu quickly and continued to suffer losses, Blood Tomb's strength and power would soon be completely gone.
