On the streets of Azure Sky, as the crowd fell into a brief moment of shock and awe, Lin Xinyao took the treasure chest and dashed out of the encirclement. Her swift reaction embarrassed the Los Clan's death warriors who tried to block her.
Once calling them the family's merciless killing machines.
Describing them as heartless puppets.
The death warriors of the Los Clan felt undeserving of such labels.
It was the human woman before them who truly earned such distinctions.
"Is that person really human?" Mo Ke watched the departing Lin Xinyao in astonishment.
Though her companions sacrificed themselves by self-destructing, she showed no emotion or even a glance. Even outsiders would be moved and shocked by the scene, yet Lin Xinyao, as their companion, remained unaffected, being even more stoic than a death warrior.
Despite the shock, Mo Ke ordered everyone to give chase.
Lin Xinyao was merely an Intermediate Apprentice, unable to match the speed of a quasi-martial artist clad in A6 level battle armor.
For a quasi-martial artist, a distance of more than twenty meters could be covered in just one or two seconds, whereas Li Tianxing, who had arrived, was over two hundred meters away from Lin Xinyao, and could definitely intercept her before anyone else caught up.
"Hey, big sister over there, need help?" Twilight of the Gods shouted to Lin Xinyao from less than a hundred meters away, "At that time, we only need to split the treasure chest's rewards in half."
At this point, Li Tianxing was certainly not fast enough; eight quasi-martial artists had already caught up. Next, they only needed to join forces for one strike, and Lin Xinyao would be finished.
"You brat think you can take advantage, you're ten years too early!" Lin Xinyao glanced disdainfully at the distant Twilight of the Gods, and unleashed a Thunder Light Palm towards the treasure chest.
Boom!
The Thunder Fire Force exploded, causing the treasure chest to shoot up like a cannonball into the sky, reaching an altitude of over fifty meters in the blink of an eye.
"Quick! Snatch the storage chest!"
The eight quasi-martial artists looked at the Rem Titanium storage chest soaring into the air, not expecting Lin Xinyao to play such a trick, tossing the storage chest into the air. This airtime was definitely enough for Li Tianxing to reach the location of the storage chest.
In an instant, all eight quasi-martial artists leapt up to seize the storage chest, ignoring Lin Xinyao.
Fifty meters into the air, with the physical prowess of quasi-martial artists, they definitely couldn't jump that high, but they could leverage each other to jump to fifty meters high.
Two quasi-martial artists clasped hands, allowing another to step sharply on their hands, using leaping force and the combined strength of two, they aimed to fly directly towards the storage chest mid-air.
"You think it's easy to get past? Think again!"
It was as if Lin Xinyao anticipated this all along. She leaped and her body suddenly swelled.
"Explode!"
BOOM!
Once again, a fiery force spread over a five-meter radius, directly eliminating the eight quasi-martial artists attempting to seize the storage chest.
Meanwhile, Li Tianxing in mid-air, upon the storage chest's descent, took a few steps in the air, grasped the storage chest, and sprinted to another building, then frantically dashed towards the city outskirts, leaping across rooftops.
This scene once again left everyone stunned.
"Madmen! A bunch of madmen!" Mo Ke couldn't help but curse as he watched Lin Xinyao turn to ashes.
Not expecting that besides Lu Fanchen, even Lin Xinyao could self-destruct.
Yet, the explosion on each of them was not due to a bomb they carried; otherwise, quasi-martial artists in A6 level battle armor wouldn't have died—clearly, it was a highly unique self-destruct martial skill.
One practicing this was already surprising, but to think there was a second person cultivating self-destruct skills, it left him completely puzzled about what kind of force it was, each not seeking to enhance their own strength, focusing on self-destruct skills and risking their lives instantly—was there any sense in this?
Because of the continuous self-destructions of Lu Fanchen and Lin Xinyao, neither the members of the Nine Street Gang nor the Los Clan dared to approach the players present, fearing any of them might self-destruct at the slightest provocation.
Faced with such madmen, all either side could do was run; they absolutely avoided combat and any entanglement with the players, forbidding even getting close.
This left the Celestial Might members, who stood a chance of being wiped out, suddenly safe; however, because neither side dared approach, opportunities to snatch treasure chests were completely gone.
Not only couldn't they snatch treasure chests, but even getting close to them was impossible; everyone treated the players with the fear one would feel confronting a Lord-level monster, fearing even more.
"We can't grab it now; let's withdraw quickly." Zhao Hu looked at the members of both sides not allowing any approach, reluctantly giving the order.
The other Celestial Might members also reluctantly left upon hearing.
Unexpectedly, the newbies this time were so fierce, directly triggering the enemy to react instinctively, no longer willing to play with them.
Until all players were far away, the people from the Nine Street Gang and the Los Clan safely withdrew from the Martial Artist Association and left Azure Sky in the opposite direction of the players.
On the wilderness outside Azure Sky.
"Young Master Mo Ke, I have already investigated thoroughly. Those gray-clothed demons in silver-gray attire are people from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall." The awe-inspiring middle-aged man wearing B3 Level Battle Armor reported in a low voice, holding a Rem Titanium storage box in one hand.
"Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall? The ones who have been following us to Azure Sky?" Mo Ke's face turned unpleasant upon hearing this.
Back at the Martial Artist Association, he recognized them, but did not think those gray-clothed demons would be from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. After all, Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was just an emerging wilderness force. Even if they wiped out the Great Ape Gang, in front of the Los Clan, they were still insignificant.
He never expected that the force that stole two of his Rem Titanium storage boxes would be the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, an insignificant wilderness gang.
"Young Master Mo Ke, I will go gather people and wipe out this Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall by tomorrow and take back the storage boxes." The awe-inspiring middle-aged man proactively suggested.
"No, we cannot make a move." Mo Ke shook his head, rejecting the suggestion of the awe-inspiring man.
Tania had mentioned that those gray-clothed demons could simultaneously attack the garrisons of six major forces, making them request aid simultaneously. The strength of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is definitely not as simple as it appears.
"So, are we going to let it go like this? Young Master Mo Ke, those storage boxes are the treasured collections of the Martial Artist Association, something we acquired with difficulty. Even if they self-destruct, we have ways to deal with them." The awe-inspiring man was puzzled as he looked at Mo Ke, who was unwilling to take action.
The self-destruct method used by the disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was indeed troublesome, but not without solutions.
Based on the investigation, the number of disciples in the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was small. Against these self-destructing individuals, sending some Death Warrior Apprentices with electromagnetic grenades would suffice. He didn't believe the number of self-destructors in the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could surpass their Los Clan.
You have to know, the Los Clan recruited over ten thousand members, with even the weakest being skilled at the Apprentice Level. How could the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall compare?
Additionally, to deal with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, they could use B3 Level heavy compound bows for long-range sniping. Under the use of quasi-martial artists equipped with B1 Level Battle Armor, bow and arrow power is challenging for even true martial artists to withstand, let alone those below martial artists, making the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall stand no chance against the Los Clan.
"The grudge of losing the storage boxes, of course, cannot be left unaddressed." Mo Ke's face turned icily cold when he thought of his two Rem Titanium storage boxes. "Daring to sabotage my path as a martial artist, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall must perish, but dealing with them doesn't necessarily require us to act."
"Young Master Mo Ke, what do you mean?" The awe-inspiring man looked at Mo Ke, full of confusion.
"Didn't the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall obtain quite a few treasures from the Azure Sky Martial Artist Association?" Mo Ke smiled, "Then we'll leak this information, saying that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall acquired many of the Martial Artist Association's valued treasures in Azure Sky."
"This time, many of the suburban forces were unqualified to enter the city. Some wilderness gangs and suburban forces haven't even received the news yet. Now there are many Lord Level monsters appearing in Azure Sky, with even a tendency towards devouring evolution. Even the top urban players might not want to provoke them, and afterward, they will certainly warn all forces not to approach Azure Sky anymore."
"And yet the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall acquired the treasures from Azure Sky, so what do you think the suburban forces will do?"
"Destroy the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and seize the treasures!" The awe-inspiring man's eyes brightened.
This move of using a borrowed knife to kill meant the Los Clan wouldn't need to send a single soldier and could still wipe out the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
"But Young Master, what about the two Rem Titanium storage boxes? We can't just let those forces take them, right?" The awe-inspiring man asked.
"Those two storage boxes certainly cannot be given to other forces." Mo Ke glanced at the awe-inspiring man, "Other forces are merely my decoys. Once the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is destroyed, you take people to retrieve the storage boxes for me."
"Understood, Young Master Mo Ke!" The awe-inspiring man nodded.
"Alright, next, go and spread this news." Mo Ke couldn't help but smile, "Especially notify those forces that have enmity with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall; they certainly won't miss this opportunity."
This time, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall managed to break into the urban area of Azure Sky and successfully repel the personnel of major forces, showcasing their strength. However, truly facing the siege of various forces from Chasing Light City, even if they aren't destroyed, they'll be severely crippled, and it's not too late for him to reap the benefits afterward.
...
The ground hole not far from Azure Sky.
A large group of resurrected players emerged from the ground hole, talking and laughing, each with a face beaming with excitement and joy, recounting their gains this time, especially the two carts full of over four hundred sets of A6 Level Battle Armor, rendering Lin Qi, who had just returned, dumbfounded.
Lin Qi couldn't figure out how these players managed to acquire so many A6 Level Battle Armor in Azure Sky.
While Lin Qi was in shock, a dozen figures also ran over from the nearby woods, each carrying storage boxes, filled with unprecedented excitement as they approached Lin Qi.
"Hall Master, we've made considerable gains this time. Can you take a look at how much this Golden Treasure Chest is worth in contribution?" Zhang Qingwei couldn't resist wanting Lin Qi to appraise the storage box emitting a faint golden glow, eager to see if something good could come out.
"Golden Treasure Chest? Where did you get it from?"
Lin Qi was also stunned, looking at the treasure chest gleaming brightly in the sunlight before him.
In the high martial world, it's not an MMO game. Previously, players digging up ordinary chests in the underground of the martial arts hall was surprising enough. This time, they found a higher-level treasure chest.
Golden Level!
That's right! It's truly a Golden Level treasure chest! Completely shining gold!
These players even managed to procure three of them in one go, leaving no room for denial.
