Chapter 3508: DeterminationEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Someone’s coming. Fall back."
Soon after, just as Fang Heng left behind the third strand of hellfire, he sensed the approach of the God Clan. He immediately pulled Zane and hid behind a nearby rock crevice, secretly observing.
Patrick personally led five accompanying members of the God Clan in a joint operation.
After entering the eighty-eighth layer, the five God Clan members immediately arrived at the area where the seal had been damaged.
Patrick’s gaze shifted to the breach in the holy sealing chains that had been melted by the power of the Eyes of Hell. Seeing the hellfire at the edge of the breach still continuously spreading and burning, his heart grew even more alert.
Hellfire!
Fang Heng! It was him again!
That brat’s control over the Eyes of Hell had improved.
And being able to achieve this was not solely reliant on the power of the Eyes of Hell.
The four accompanying God Clan members exchanged glances and asked, "Elder, this kind of damage is somewhat abnormal."
"Yes, it is the power of the Eyes of Hell."
As Patrick spoke, he condensed a seal in front of him with both hands.
"Chi chi chi..."
Holy light lit up in his palms.
Under the cover of the light, the hellfire gradually dimmed until it was completely dissolved.
The breached portion of the seal began to slowly repair itself.
"There is more than one breach in the seal. They must be repaired as soon as possible, or the damage will gradually expand." Patrick said as he cautiously scanned the surroundings and warned, "Fang Heng may be hiding in the dark and could launch an attack at any time. Do not be careless."
"Yes!"
Not far away, Fang Heng and Zane hid in the shadows, watching the group of five until they disappeared from sight.
Zane sighed and said, "This is hard to deal with, Brother Fang Heng. The God Clan is moving together in groups. There’s no suitable target to strike."
"No rush. We’re just playing around. Let’s try switching to another target."
Watching the God Clan squad leave, Fang Heng transformed into a shadow and rapidly swept toward the entrance to the eighty-ninth layer of hell.
Zane followed all the way, entering the eighty-ninth layer with Fang Heng, watching as Fang Heng left strands of hellfire throughout the eighty-ninth layer of hell.
He knew he could not really help much, so he simply watched as Fang Heng darted chaotically through layer after layer of hell, continuously damaging the seals already completed by the God Clan and leaving behind burning hellfire. The entire sequence of actions flowed smoothly, striking once and then changing locations.
Truly despicable.
Zane sighed inwardly, thinking that the position of Evil God should really be left to you—you were more suitable for it.
Judging by how difficult it had looked for the God Clan to repair the seals just now, Fang Heng’s sabotage was now extremely easy. If he kept causing trouble like this all the way through, the God Clan would definitely not be able to endure it.
When the God Clan encountered Fang Heng, it could only be considered their bad luck.
...
The ninety-ninth layer of hell.
The Holy Door shone.
Under the influence of the divine domain, thick sealing chains continuously emerged from the Holy Door, reinforcing the seal over hell.
Damian, the God Clan elder primarily responsible for the sealing mission, furrowed his brows and turned to the newcomer, saying, "The seals in the upper layers of hell have suffered varying degrees of interference, and the interference is continuing to expand."
"Elder, I checked it. Someone is sabotaging the seals. The hell environment is complex, and we cannot locate the saboteur."
Damian thought of something and asked, "Is it Fang Heng again?"
"Yes."
For a moment, several God Clan leaders all fell silent.
They had dealt with hell many times before.
Most hell creatures were arrogant and domineering, and once their strength reached a certain level, they preferred to fight head-on. If they realized they could not win, at most, they would flee.
Who was there like Fang Heng? His strength had clearly reached a certain tier, yet he neither fought head-on nor fled. Instead, he constantly harassed and tormented them with such underhanded methods, disrupting their progress in sealing the Source of Hell.
Damian realized how troublesome Fang Heng was.
No matter what methods the other party used, at least its objective had been achieved.
Their progress in exploring hell had been severely stalled.
Suddenly, a God Clan member hurried over and reported, "Reporting, Elder! A squad encountered an attack!"
An attack?
Beside him, Elder Patrick’s expression changed slightly.
They had already been on guard against Fang Heng and had forcibly ordered clan members to operate in three-man squads. Fang Heng still had a chance to strike?
Damian asked, "Is everyone all right?"
"They’re fine. According to the squad’s report, they encountered Fang Heng’s sneak attack and had a brief exchange with him. It seemed Fang Heng was only probing. After launching the attack, he immediately teleported away. He ran very fast, and the squad did not pursue forcefully."
"Mm."
Damian nodded lightly.
Not pursuing had been a rule set by Elder Patrick.
There was nothing wrong with that.
No one could guarantee whether Fang Heng had set traps in hell. Blind pursuit would only increase the danger.
"Hmph! An arrogant brat!"
No matter how good the cultivation of the God Clan members was, they could not help but feel somewhat unbearable now, a fire building up in their hearts.
How many times had it been already?
Fang Heng always emerged like a rat lurking in the shadows, constantly sabotaging the sealing progress they had already completed, to the point that they now had to divert manpower to patrol and repair magic arrays in the upper regions.
And that was not the most frightening part.
If this continued, as they infiltrated deeper and deeper into the lower layers of hell, they would end up being unable to attend to both front and back. Their forces would become increasingly scattered, and they would very likely be led by the nose by Fang Heng, even giving him opportunities to break through them one by one.
Some members of the God Clan had already thought of this.
A young clansman stepped forward from the crowd and volunteered.
"Elder, let me go."
Damian looked at the clansman who volunteered and frowned, saying, "What nonsense are you talking, Connor? Step back!"
Connor was one of the most outstanding among the younger generation in the clan, a key individual nurtured by the Elders Council, and one of Damian’s personally trained disciples.
This time, following the team was also considered part of his practical training.
Connor remained unmoved and continued to look at the elder, his expression resolute, saying, "Elder, Fang Heng’s strength is indeed very strong, but I am not weak either. Moreover, I specialize in tracking abilities. I am the most suitable person here for this mission."
"No, it’s too dangerous."
Patrick shook his head in refusal. "Fang Heng may appear bold and reckless in his actions, but in reality, he is extremely cautious every time. Unless you are alone, he will not rashly reveal himself, nor will he engage you in close combat."
"I am willing to act alone as bait to lure Fang Heng out."
Connor said, "As long as we can lock onto Fang Heng’s position, this risk is worth taking."
Damian raised his hand to signal Patrick to stop speaking, looked at Connor, and asked in a deep voice, "Connor, are you prepared?"
"Yes, Teacher."
"Mm. Go, and remember your mission."
"Yes!"
Patrick frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "In that case, I will lead people to follow behind and provide protection."
