Chapter 777 - 772: You’re No Match for Him
A hundred miles south of the Miasma Spring, Palace of Roots.
"Surround on all sides, don’t let him escape!"
Bron’s entire body was like a piece of charcoal, obscuring the expression on his face, but his tone was urgent and fiery.
He was quite regretful.
Regretted underestimating the enemy and acting rashly, moving without understanding the target’s strength!
The Blue-clothed Swordsman named Dongbo Cheng in front of him was so powerful that even Bron, the number one genius Awakened of the Red Race, was terrified.
Originally, he thought his plan was perfect.
Through intelligence obtained from "allies," the Bron Team roughly identified the regions where the Cyan Dragon Oath Expedition Team was active.
Then, the Bron Team meticulously planned, massacred a nearby human settlement "Changye Village", and lured three Ghost Warriors of the Cyan Dragon Oath to investigate.
The Bron Team easily killed these three Ghost Warriors, beheaded them, and stuck their heads on the wooden stakes of Changye Village ruins.
Such actions finally enraged Dongbo Cheng, who pursued them relentlessly!
Dongbo Cheng’s speed was too fast, none of the Ghost Warriors of the Cyan Dragon Oath could catch up.
The Bron Team targeted this, alternating attacks, planning to lure the enemy into the Withered Leaf Plain west of the Palace of Roots to encircle and annihilate Dongbo Cheng!
However, what Bron didn’t expect was that Dongbo Cheng’s angry strikes were astoundingly powerful.
During the pursuit, three Awakened from the Bron Team successively died under Dongbo Cheng’s "Peacock Feather".
Finally reaching the Withered Leaf Plain, the Bron Team set up an ambush, but still couldn’t handle Dongbo Cheng who possessed the "Dancing Wind Secret Sword Art"!
Even if Bron personally took to the field, using the Third Grade "Immortal Melting Core" True Intent Prototype, he couldn’t completely restrict Dongbo Cheng; he could only protect his team from Dongbo Cheng’s slaughter.
The originally planned assassination turned into a war of attrition.
Competing in endurance, do Native monsters fear?
Another unfavorable news was that the Ghost Warriors of the Cyan Dragon Oath under Dongbo Cheng were following the signs he left, rushing over.
The team under Dongbo Cheng, brimming with Warriors and Enhanced Warriors, even included two seasoned True Inheritance at Lord Level.
The Heart Demon World with a difficulty of 9.2, every Native is a Numerical Monster, and these Ghost Warriors shouldn’t be underestimated.
Helpless, Bron could only abandon his original plan to encircle Dongbo Cheng.
He split his forces, sending off the officer "Rob" with a group of Awakened to delay and mislead the Ghost Warrior group of the Cyan Dragon Oath, while he personally led the main force to lure Dongbo Cheng into the demon-surrounded "Palace of Roots"!
Originally, Dongbo Cheng wouldn’t rashly head to the Palace of Roots, but the Red Race Officer Rob, a master of special Fourth Grade True Intent Prototype "Dimension Corridor" combining Illusion Mystical Arts and Space Mystical Arts, is top-class in mechanism.
He successfully misled Dongbo Cheng’s senses.
By the time Dongbo Cheng realized he mistakenly entered the Palace of Roots, it was too late.
The two Demon Generals stationed at the Palace of Roots: Withered Wood, Ghost Vine, naturally wouldn’t let go of Dongbo Cheng who walked right in!
Bron originally thought, with two Demon Generals ganging up, Numerical Monster against Numerical Monster, Dongbo Cheng surely couldn’t handle it, allowing Bron some relief.
But before he could catch his breath, he was taken aback to discover...
Facing the two Demon Generals Withered Wood and Ghost Vine, Dongbo Cheng was still at ease, his graceful and elegant Body Technique Swordsmanship easily harvesting the lives of Demon as he dodged the attacks from Demon Generals and Awakened!
The two Demon Generals unleashed their Lifebound Talent Skills, certainly achieving some results, wounding Dongbo Cheng.
But Dongbo Cheng immediately vibrated the Demon Ghost Weapon "Peacock Feather", releasing Demonic Power!
In a slip, another Awakened master under Bron "Kuzan" was directly slain by Dongbo Cheng.
Bear in mind that Kuzan ranked third in this group, only below Bron and Rob!
His death was a heavy blow to the Bron Team’s morale.
The only comfort to Bron is that Dongbo Cheng is still just a person and hasn’t reached the level of a Demon Emperor.
The injuries caused by the two Demon Generals earlier were not just for show, and Dongbo Cheng forcefully unsealed Peacock Feather, commanding the completely formed Demon Ghost Weapon to fight proved to be the last shot in his bow.
At least the Demonic Power Release form of Peacock Feather lasted only a dozen seconds before having to retract.
Dongbo Cheng’s speed was no longer as swift as the initial, now relying solely on his deep understanding of the "Dancing Wind" Mystical Arts, passively negating the opposing attacks.
But everyone knows the principle that rigidness cannot last long, and softness cannot hold out, Dongbo Cheng’s passive defense will not hold much longer.
Bron gritted his teeth and roared in the team channel:
"This Native’s strength is so formidable, he must be one of the top in the Guardian Camp! Part of Gangxin’s Great Trend! We must, must keep him here!"
Hu, hu.
Dongbo Cheng’s breathing was evidently heavy, yet he had no chance to catch his breath.
Demons, the Fallen Samurai who allied with them (Awakened in Dongbo Cheng’s eyes), attacked wave after wave, not allowing him any rest.
Each of his sword attacks was stoically resisted by this Fallen Samurai Leader.
The transformative Molten Rock-like armor on the opponent’s body, each slash caused significant cracking, yet like infinite regeneration, restored to its original state in seconds.
Dongbo Cheng couldn’t help but recall a dear friend, also of Wild Warrior origin.
Similarly possessing a super durable physique, yet insisted on learning the Dancing Wind Style from him...
As the tall and heroic figure came to mind, Dongbo Cheng couldn’t help but smile.
"What are you smiling at?" Faced with Dongbo Cheng’s thrust, Bron was slightly startled.
"You remind me a bit of him... but you’re far inferior."
Dongbo Cheng said something that puzzled Bron, then the sword’s edge swirled, arcing as beautifully as falling cherry blossoms.
Dancing Wind Secret Sword Art — Sakura Fubuki!
A sea of cherry blossoms unfolded before Bron’s eyes, momentarily confusing him with its beautiful illusion, momentarily delaying his shield-blocking action.
Swish, swish, swish...
Cherry blossoms bloomed on Bron’s body surface, most astonishingly, these seemingly endless cherry blossom petals aggregated over the seven crucial acupuncture points on Bron’s chest, launching a series of precise continuous strikes!
Bron retreated continuously, layers of dark red molten rock fragments fell from his "Immortal Melting Core" armor.
The outer shell shattered, followed by cherry blossoms piercing the skin, tearing through flesh.
Seven ghastly gruesome blood holes appeared on Bron’s chest! His expression was one of ghostly horror.
Dongbo Cheng sighed, transformed into a storm swirling away, leaving only an afterimage behind.
The next moment, a resilient vine whip and an inconspicuous series of withered leaves shot from two directions, hitting the position of the afterimage.
