While Ling Xiao’s team completed their task, the other teams were also performing their own tasks.
Due to their careful planning and sudden action, the Dream Pill traffickers suffered an unexpected blow.
Many Hidden Dragon Battalion disciples gained a lot of military merit points.
All these people were geniuses. Coupled with their previous experiences of life and death, they were not afraid of such battles.
However, after the initial panic and large-scale losses, the Dream Pill traffickers stabilized their position, and experts were sent to guard many places.
Soon after, the Hidden Dragon Battalion’s disciples began to suffer casualties.
This had always been expected. From the day they had joined the Hidden Dragon Battalion, they had all understood that it was common to die on the battlefield.
That young genius Zhang Yuan followed the wrong people. At a critical moment, he was abandoned by his team and died in the hands of Dream Pill traffickers, becoming the first victim of the Hidden Dragon Battalion.
Fortunately, the Twelve Tiger Guards stopped most of the Martial Master realm experts; otherwise, these geniuses of the Hidden Dragon Battalion would have suffered even bigger casualties.
Naturally, in terms of damage ratios, their task was very successful since the Dream Pill traffickers suffered a much more serious blow.
Ling Xiao’s team was still resting and cultivating.
After burning the Blue-Eyed Race’s Dream Pill Factory, they had become a thorn in the Blue-Eyed Race’s eyes, so it would be wise to take a break until the heat died down.
A silent night passed.
The next morning, as the first rays of light shone on Ling Xiao, he opened his eyes.
“The gang qi in five of my martial veins has already converted into true essence. Now, even if I run into Initial Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Masters, I will be able to fight them without help from Senior Apprentice Sister Yixue!”
Although he had severely injured one Initial Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master and killed another, those had been special circumstances.
The first had been stupid enough to abandon his Brave Spirit, which was tantamount to self-destruction.
The second one had been killed by a sneak attack.
If he had faced an Initial Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master with a Brave Spirit, Ren Spirit or other battle soul, he would have had no chance of winning unless he used the Heracles Ape’s corpse. Otherwise, he would have had to flee.
Now was different. Even if he faced an Initial Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master, he would not be afraid. If he used his full power, he had a 50% chance of victory.
A Half Martial Master was a Peak Rank Six Martial Vein martial artist who had converted gang qi into true essence in at least five martial veins.
Although he had previously achieved their combat power, he hadn’t been counted as a Half Martial Master.
Now, he was a true Half Martial Master.
“Let’s go! Today, we’ll continue our task.”
After eating something, the team left their hiding place and approached their next target.
There was a village just two or three miles away.
Because this village was near Hollow Cloud City, most of the villagers were martial artists, but the strongest one was just a Rank Three Martial Vein martial artist.
Naturally, these people also wanted to become great martial artists one day, but at this stage, they could only use their martial power to hunt and farm, so they were true common people.
Their village had always been peaceful and uncontested; they didn’t know how sinister the world was, not to mention how terrible Dream Pills were.
They also didn’t realize how terrifying the alien races were.
In the early morning, a group of people arrived at this village.
This group was composed of the Blue-Eyed and Ren Races. Altogether, there were 30. The weakest one was a Rank Four Martial Vein martial artist, stronger than the strongest in this village.
“Catch all the young women! Kill the rest!”
That Boss waved his hand with a cruel smile.
“Lord, Lord, please show us mercy! We haven’t done anything wrong to you!”
The old village chief knelt and begged the Boss.
“Hahaha, you didn’t do it, but who asked you to be of the Human Race? All humans should die!”
The Boss laughed loudly. In the past, when in a bad mood, he would slaughter a human village.
Naturally, the young and beautiful women were taken away. Such resources could be sold for wealth.
He had already massacred more than ten human villages, none of which he bothered to remember.
Lin Ze had once asked an envoy of the Blue-Eyed Race to hand over this Boss, but the envoy had ignored him, simply fining this Boss one month’s salary in punishment.
But that punishment had only increased his hatred for the Human Race. Not only did he not restrain his actions, but his actions actually intensified.
This time, his Dream Pill Factory had been destroyed, so he was boiling with rage. Naturally, he would vent his anger on a human village.
“Kill——!”
The Boss laughed crazily.
Suddenly, a firework exploded high in the sky.
Everyone knew that this was a signal, but many organizations used similar signals, so it was difficult for the Boss to distinguish which organization had sent it.
Merely, the Hidden Dragon Battalion’s disciples knew that this firework’s special color belonged to the Hidden Dragon Battalion.
As the firework died down, a person walked out of the forest.
He was a youth with a robust stature that didn’t resemble a human’s.
This was one of the deputy leaders of the Hidden Dragon Battalion, Shi Lei.
Originally, Shi Lei and the other deputy-leader had formed a team, but they had recently separated in the woods.
Upon arriving at this village, he saw the Blue-Eyed Race and Ren Race massacring the villagers, so he had sent a signal for help before walking out to stop them.
Naturally, he only asked for aid since his opponent was very strong.
That Boss was a Peak Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master, and the two subordinates beside him were Initial Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Masters.
Facing three Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Masters, even Shi Lei knew that he was in big trouble.
He was just an Initial Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master, so he could face at most one Martial Master who had similar strength or was a bit stronger. This situation was certain death.
However, he wouldn’t continue watching the massacre of these villagers.
Naturally, he still hoped that his distress signal would be seen by the nearby Hidden Dragon Battalion’s disciples or the Twelve Tiger Guards who would come to rescue him.
“Is that a signal for help?”
With Ling Xiao’s sharp senses, it was impossible for him to not notice this signal.
Moreover, they were also heading towards that direction.
“Let’s go! As the Hidden Dragon Battalion’s disciples, we cannot not try to save someone in mortal danger!”
Ling Xiao didn’t hesitate, immediately flying forward with Soaring Cloud Steps.
Now, the other three already would follow him to the gates of hell. Naturally, they didn’t hesitate.
During the flight, Ling Xiao entered the Enter Soul state, taking a look at the situation over there.
It would have been fine if he hadn’t seen it.
Once he saw it, he gritted his teeth so hard that his gums bled.
“Lower than trash! They truly should be killed!”
Not to mention that they were poisoning human martial artists with Dream Pills, they were actually indiscriminately killing common people. Ling Xiao despised this.
When killing the Dream Pill traffickers, he had had a few qualms, worrying about whether this was the right thing to do or if he could persuade them to stop.
But at this moment, he completely cut off this idea.
These people must be killed without mercy!
Over there, Shi Lei had run into a major crisis!
At this moment, Shi Lei was being attacked by two Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Masters, and the other martial artists of the Blue-Eyed and Ren Races were sniping at him from the side.
