Chapter 809 - 799: Is It Worth It?
Su Muyao listened to the system’s words, gritted her teeth, steadied her mind, and hurriedly continued to accelerate the absorption of the Immortal Crystal Stone’s power.
At this moment, the sound of fighting could be heard from outside the door.
Ant Clan Beastmen attacked here, seeing the Black Cat Beastman standing there, they coldly reprimanded, "Hand over the people inside and kneel to beg for mercy, and I can leave you with a complete corpse."
The Ant Clan Beastmen from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion were accustomed to being arrogant, as for all this time, due to the Pavilion’s influence, other Beastmen had to show them utmost respect.
Now, some people were guarding by this cave, from which a faint multicolored light emanated, making them realize something was happening.
The Steward leading them was furious; he was in charge of the ores, so he wanted to vent his anger on this Black Cat Beastman.
They liked to reprimand these clueless outsider Beastmen.
These Insect Clan Beastmen were supposed to fiercely suppress these people, making them beg for mercy upon seeing them.
Just like those Wandering Beastmen.
The Black Cat Beastman’s gaze was cold, listening to this person’s words, his eyes became as icy and chilly as snow.
The Ant Beastman became enraged upon seeing the Black Cat Beastman’s eyes.
With a whip in his hand, he struck directly at the Black Cat Beastman.
This whip was not an ordinary whip but a Magic Artifact, so when it struck, it carried a bone-chilling aura aimed directly at the Black Cat Beastman.
The Black Cat Beastman did not move, but a ghostly dark light suddenly ignited in his eyes, and his counterattack was even faster.
A majestic wave of superpower erupted around him, suffocatingly intense, this power not ordinary Spiritual Power, was ink-black and mysteriously dangerous.
This power seemed to have been sleeping in darkness, suddenly awakened, the mere emergence of the superpower made the surrounding air stir.
Even before the whip touched the hem of his clothes, the black superpower transformed into a sharp blade of energy, precisely hitting the whip, a crisp "crack" sound echoed.
The powerful whip made from a Magic Artifact instantly shattered repeatedly, the fragments not yet falling to the ground, and the energy blade swept unstoppably towards the Steward wielding the whip.
The Ant Beastman Steward didn’t even have time to let out a scream before being instantly obliterated, leaving no trace behind, only a wisp of rapidly dissipating black smoke remained in the original spot.
This unfolded in an instant; the crowd behind the Ant Beastman Steward all had their pupils constrict, the arrogance and viciousness on their faces instantly froze.
Replaced by a deep-seated shock, each stood frozen in place, not daring to step forward.
After all, their leader was very strong and accustomed to arrogance, yet was killed instantly like this.
What’s more, the Magic Artifact was given by the Eldest Young Master, extremely powerful.
Who exactly is this person?
How could they be so formidable?
They had never heard of any Black Cat Beastman among outsider Beastmen?
Even that Cat Clan Beastman, their true form wasn’t that of a black cat.
But indeed, without some capabilities, they wouldn’t be able to cross the valley’s array barrier.
That certainly wasn’t an ordinary barrier; even strong Beastmen meeting it would face death.
This Black Cat Beastman was definitely not simple.
At this moment, none dared to advance.
Yet, they saw multicolored lights spill from the cave, realizing something, another leader said, "We must kill him, capture the person inside the cave for the Eldest Young Master to vent his anger, otherwise none of us will escape punishment."
"The person inside is meddling with the Crystal Ore, attack."
Everyone realized that if they didn’t act, the Eldest Young Master would surely not let them go.
Even the Chief Steward wouldn’t spare them.
"We must kill him."
So, after a mere moment of dead silence, their eyes reddened as they pushed their internal superpower to the extreme, various Magic Artifacts in their hands gleaming ominously, eager to grind the Black Cat Beastman to dust.
They were more anxious to kill the Black Cat Beastman and enter the cave.
The Immortal Crystal Ore must not be lost.
They had sacrificed too much for the Immortal Crystal Ore.
The Ant Clan Beastmen here had been exiled to such a harsh environment, merely to excavate these Immortal Crystal Ores.
Originally ready to be shipped out, who knew this would happen.
The Clan Leader behind the Eldest Young Master would be even angrier.
The black superpower around the Black Cat Beastman grew even denser, like an indestructible barrier, guarding the cave entrance steadfastly.
The enemies did not move, nor did he.
As long as he delayed enough time, it would suffice.
But if they wanted to enter the cave, it wasn’t going to happen.
Inside the cave was the person he would defend with all his might, his gaze cold as eternal ice, emanating a decisive vicious energy warning "any who approach will surely die."
Every glance sent chills down the spines of the Ant Beastmen charging at the forefront.
"Kill! Kill him for me!" someone roared, initiating the attack first with superpower directed at the Black Cat Beastman.
"Don’t hold back; now is the time of life and death."
These Ant Beastmen naturally realized something, and upon being rallied, they swarmed forward.
This time they were prepared, countless Magic Artifacts arrived one after another, blades and swords and fireballs and ice blades weaving into a tightly sealed net of attack, flooding towards the Black Cat Beastman.
Though the number of enemies was too vast, even with formidable and bizarre superpower, over time the Black Cat Beastman began to struggle.
The superpower wave oscillating around him also started to become somewhat chaotic.
The most concerning was his tail, already half broken, under the dense attack, it grew shorter and more illusory.
In some areas, even ink-black superpower blood leaked.
Yet, he clenched his teeth silently, confronting these swarming Ant Clan Beastmen attacks.
It had to be acknowledged, the number of Ant Clan Beastmen was indeed large.
Of course, many Ant Clan Beastmen were also killed by the Black Cat Beastman.
At that moment, the Chief Steward arrived here.
He shouted loudly, "Gather the Killing Array."
He hadn’t expected real issues here.
This mistake must be rectified.
The Chief Steward glanced at the Black Cat Beastman, his gaze extremely sinister.
He screamed orders, following his words, a crowd of Ant Beastmen swiftly ceased their disorganized attacks, stood according to a specific position, and their Magic Artifacts illuminated with bizarre red light, weaving and converging their Spiritual Power, forming a vast blood-red array, with terrifying power faintly stirring at the array’s center.
Above the array condensed a long sword, crushing furiously towards the Black Cat Beastman.
That was an extremely formidable Killing Array, once used, no matter what kind of Beastman would not escape.
Of course, this Killing Array also had a weakness, which was that all those forming the array would become cripples, with their superpowers thereafter unusable.
Due to the enormous energy required.
Especially when killing such a powerful Beastman.
"You have to kill him."
"If you want to escape, now is your last chance."
"If you wish to guard outside the cave, then you will surely die."
"Is it worth it for the person in the cave?"
"You must be very seriously injured; let’s see how long you can hold out!"
The Chief Steward deliberately provoked.
He could see the Black Cat Beastman was severely injured.
Yet even so, this person’s strength was bizarrely dangerous.
He knew if possible, he would not want a confrontation with this Black Cat Beastman, to avoid depleting their group’s strength.
If the Black Cat Beastman sensibly retreated, they would suffer no loss.
Their main goal was to capture the person inside.
The Black Cat Beastman coldly said, "If you wish to pass, you’ll have to step over my corpse."
His voice was intensely resolute.
At this moment, Su Muyao inside the cave also heard these words.
At that moment, she was extremely anxious.
She pushed the absorption of the Immortal Crystal Stone’s power to the extreme.
Because it was too fast, it almost surpassed Su Muyao’s physical limits, causing her meridians to start hurting.
The system was somewhat moved, "Host, this Black Cat Beastman is indeed reliable."
