Chapter 2079: Capture the Ringleader First!
The saying goes: to catch a thief, first catch the king!
Wang Hui’s thought was not wrong, but his mistake lay in underestimating the strength of Long Qie and Titan.
Long Qie and Titan had followed Xiao Zheng through numerous battles, defeating countless enemies, and their combat strength could not be judged by common sense. Even though they were only at the Middle Stage Martial Saint Realm, when fighting for their lives, they could even contend with strong individuals at the Martial Saint Realm Peak!
"You want to kill us? Keep dreaming!"
"None of you are leaving today. All of you, leave your lives here for Laozi!"
Long Qie and Titan roared furiously and charged directly into the crowd.
Feeling their momentum, Wang Hui was taken aback.
He had never experienced such a battle before, so suddenly being charged by the two left his mind momentarily blank. By the time he reacted, Long Qie had already reached in front of him.
"Die for Laozi!"
Long Qie sneered, then swung an axe towards the top of Wang Hui’s head.
The blade flashed with a cold light, as if oppressing even the soul!
Wang Hui’s scalp tingled, and almost instinctively, he erected a Vigorous Energy Shield around his body. He was also a strong Martial Saint Realm fighter, at the same stage as Long Qie.
Therefore, when Long Qie’s axe came down, he managed to withstand it.
However, although he blocked the axe, the Vigorous Energy Shield shattered instantly.
Wang Hui did not hesitate at all, leveraging this moment when the shield shattered, he flew away to evade: "Brother Gu, Brother Feng, come quickly and help me!"
He shouted anxiously.
However, Gu Ting and Feng Shanming did not respond, as they were also in a difficult situation themselves.
Titan had directly engaged Gu Ting, while Feng Shanming was being suppressed by Bai Mudan and Black Rose working together. They could not manage to support Wang Hui, and they were struggling to protect themselves.
As for the other Martial Saint Realm strongmen from the Ghost Raising Family, they were not available either.
After all, this was Sky Net’s territory, and in terms of numbers, Sky Net absolutely held a suppressive advantage. Relying on their greater number, Sky Net was temporarily holding off the Ghost Raising Family’s attack.
However, this was not a long-term solution, since the Ghost Raising Family had more Martial Saint Realm strongmen than Sky Net.
Wang Hui glanced around, understanding the situation clearly.
He knew that although Sky Net temporarily held the upper hand, over time, without their numerical advantage, the scales of victory would gradually tip in their favor.
Understanding this, the panic in Wang Hui’s heart dissipated.
Dodging another axe strike from Long Qie, he shouted to Gu Ting and others: "Everyone, hold on! Once their numerical advantage disappears, we will win this battle!"
"Everyone, stay calm, hold steady, we can win!"
Wang Hui’s words were undoubtedly a strong boost to the morale of the Ghost Raising Family.
The previously chaotic formation gradually began to contract and became orderly. This, in turn, increased the pressure on Sky Net.
Because the contraction of the enemy’s formation made their defense more advantageous, making offense more challenging.
As time went on, the casualty numbers on Sky Net’s side indeed continued to rise.
Seeing this, Long Qie naturally felt anxious.
Yet, in his urgency, he also felt helpless.
Because once Wang Hui realized the key to influencing the battle, he became like a slippery eel, never engaging Long Qie directly, only dodging and avoiding conflict.
Over time, Long Qie’s heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
However, despite feeling helpless and angry, he did not lose his composure.
Long Qie scanned the battlefield, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
If Wang Hui refused to fight him, with his abilities, he could simply kill the others! After all, the other members of the Ghost Raising Family did not have Wang Hui’s strength to withstand Long Qie’s assaults!
As long as Long Qie could kill quickly enough, he could help Sky Net win this battle!
Thinking of this, a spark of excitement flashed in his eyes.
Pretending to attack Wang Hui and forcing him to dodge again, Long Qie then, without hesitation, turned and charged towards the nearest Martial Saint Realm fighter!
This expert from the Ghost Raising Family clearly did not expect Long Qie to target him.
By the time Long Qie charged up to him, it was too late for him to react.
Yet at this moment, realizing it was too late, Long Qie was utterly unhesitant, swinging his massive axe down on him! With just one blow, this Martial Saint Realm strongman was slaughtered on the spot!
"No!"
Seeing this scene, an agonizing scream involuntarily erupted from Wang Hui’s mouth.
Because the Martial Saint Realm expert slain by Long Qie was his own son!
But Long Qie paid it no mind. Having successfully killed one, he rapidly moved towards a second Martial Saint Realm strongman. This time he approached Bai Mudan and Black Rose, planning to join them in killing Feng Shanming.
Upon sensing danger, Feng Shanming promptly called for Wang Hui.
Wang Hui naturally did not want another of their experts to fall and rushed over to rescue Feng Shanming, suppressing the grief in his heart.
Yet, his actions played right into Long Qie’s hands.
Long Qie, along with Black Rose, was attacking Feng Shanming, all as a decoy. His real target was another Martial Saint Realm expert ten meters away from Feng Shanming!
Just as Wang Hui moved in, Long Qie turned and charged directly to the front of that Martial Saint Realm expert!
Then, axe in hand, he struck down, and once again, another Martial Saint Realm expert perished at Long Qie’s hand!
"Refreshing!"
"Bring it on!"
Long Qie, his eyes bloodshot from killing, continued hunting for his next target.
With his relentless slaughter, the number of experts on the Ghost Raising Family’s side kept dwindling. Despite Wang Hui’s growing anxiety, he felt helpless, for his power was insufficient to completely restrain Long Qie’s actions.
All of a sudden, Wang Hui realized that tonight’s operation perhaps should never have taken place!
Just because of the wrong decision made by the three of them, so many of the Ghost Raising Family’s strongmen were lost in vain. He dared not imagine the punishment he would face when the Ghost King returned!
"Either way, it’s death!"
"Let’s go all out!"
Wang Hui was now desperate, releasing another furious roar from his mouth.
However, before his roar faded, from the distant sky, an incredibly terrifying aura suddenly exploded!
Everyone paused, their eyes turned toward the sky!
A figure was approaching, stepping upon the moon!
