Euphemia's remaining five tails quickly attacked Jiang Chen. Within the confined space, her movements became even faster. Not only that, but the five tails swiftly divided into fifty smaller ones.

Jiang Chen once again activated [All Swords Return to the Sect] to block Euphemia's attack. He suddenly realized that after these tails split, their attacks were significantly weaker, meaning the split tails had divided their Offensive Power as well.

Thirty thousand sword qi rapidly swirled to block.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

"Your split tails can't even break through my defense," Jiang Chen said.

"You're right, so I won't split them anymore. Instead, I'll rapidly recombine them into one tail," replied Euphemia.

At that moment, the fifty tails quickly merged back into one and violently shot forth, piercing through Jiang Chen's sword qi defense in a single strike. The 30,000 sword qi instantly shattered.

Sensing the incoming attack, Jiang Chen quickly dodged. Then, with one sword strike, he attacked the large sphere, attempting to burst through the space and break out. The strike was like a stone thrown into the sea, vanishing instantly without a trace, having no effect whatsoever.

"You were so foolish to enter my defenses. I admit you're strong, but you're incapable of breaking my Defense Cover. Despair and tremble!" Euphemia said, becoming increasingly excited as if she could already see Jiang Chen's demise.

The large sphere outside began to rapidly contract.

Bartley had already given up hope. "It's over. Jiang Chen doesn't understand the enemy and thought engaging in close combat was a good idea. He's just courting death. We still have a chance; let's hurry and flee."

Angelina said with a calm face, "I believe in him."

"He's about to die, and you still believe in him? You have no idea how formidable she is," Bartley retorted.

Inside the large sphere, Euphemia excitedly declared, "Your flesh must be delicious. But don't worry, I won't kill you in a hurry."

"I will first break your limbs and let you watch me devour your arms and legs. You will feel despair and beg me to kill you."

"The more you despair, the more excited I become."

Jiang Chen chuckled. "I have a suggestion for you!"

"What suggestion?"

"It would be best to add some cumin and seasoning; that way, it will taste better."

Why is this man, who is about to die, so confident? Euphemia wondered. Is he not afraid of death? He doesn't stand a chance. He must be bluffing.

Watching the large sphere continue to contract, Jiang Chen readied his attack. The small sphere above, where Euphemia was concealed, vanished.

Jiang Chen smiled coldly. "Fiendish Slash..."

A blue light soared into the sky, targeting the small sphere. With the space shrinking, Euphemia had nowhere to run; she had to endure the attack head-on.

Fiendish Slash struck the blood-red sphere. CRACK! CRACK! The red sphere was cracking, the fissures spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What is this Energy? Why is it so immense?" Euphemia exclaimed in shock.

Had he been planning this all along? she wondered. To use such a powerful attack to break through my defense?

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

As Fiendish Slash continuously drained the small sphere's Energy, the sphere shattered instantly, and Fiendish Slash gradually lost its effect.

At that moment, Jiang Chen extended his right hand towards the spot where the small sphere had broken, pointing a finger at Euphemia's head.

"Goodbye, sweetheart."

"Mysterious Heavenly Finger..."

A surge of True Qi blasted forth, instantly piercing through Euphemia's head.

Euphemia's eyes widened, unable to believe he still possessed such an attack. As she fell to the ground dead, the large sphere outside disappeared.

Bartley was so astonished he was speechless.

He won? he thought. He actually won? How did he do it? Euphemia was a Sixth-stage Cannibal Tribe member; this was him challenging someone far above his own Stage! How many Levels did that represent?

Jiang Chen looked down at the materials on the ground.

[Hezi: Nine Tails]

He crouched down; to his surprise, this was not a shard but a complete [Hezi: Nine Tails]. His luck was incredible.

Bartley exclaimed, "This is a complete Hezi! If this is used to make equipment, it will definitely be of Legendary level or higher, and it can fully retain the Hezi's powers."

Jiang Chen asked, "When we get back, could someone help me make a set of Hezi's equipment?"

Bartley nodded. "No problem. You're a Swordsman; if you have Hezi's equipment, it will definitely enhance your combat power."

"It's not for me, but for her."

Bartley was stunned.

This is such a valuable treasure! Why would he give it to a Priest? Does a Priest need this? She can't even go to the battlefield! Isn't he wasting this Hezi's equipment? And a complete set of Hezi's equipment at that! You should know that besides one's own class Skills, only equipment can enhance abilities, and only powerful equipment Attributes can increase battle power. And Hezi's equipment is clearly some of the best there is. Many Legendary level pieces of equipment are made by infusing Hezi fragments to gain certain Skills!

Angelina cried out in surprise, "For me?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

"You should keep it for yourself; it will be of great help to you."

Jiang Chen smiled. "Silly girl, this Hezi's equipment is meaningless to me. It's just for looks and isn't suitable. However, this Hezi's equipment can protect you. As a Priest, you're too fragile and currently lack life-saving Skills."

"Just like in the fight just now, if the enemy had attacked you first, I would have had to protect you."

"So I've decided to have a set of Hezi's equipment customized for you."

"This [Hezi: Nine Tails] is quite suitable for you."

Jiang Chen was a Swordsman, a Melee Class, whose attacks like [All Swords Return to the Sect] and [Dragon Over the Sky] were far more powerful than Hezi's equipment could offer. Even if Jiang Chen obtained Hezi's equipment, he would still primarily use Skills like [All Swords Return to the Sect]. Although Hezi's equipment is strong, it has range limitations. For Defensive Power, Jiang Chen had [Sky Gang Sword Body], and his speed was greater, often making defense unnecessary. Thus, for Jiang Chen, Hezi's equipment was dispensable.

But it was different for Angelina. She was a Ritualist, a Support Class. She had neither Offensive Power nor Defensive Power, relying only on the intrinsic Defensive Power of her equipment. But what was a Priest? A Support Class. As a Magician class, they wore a robe, so their Defensive Power was inherently weak. With Hezi's equipment, although Angelina couldn't kill enemies, she could defend herself.

Angelina nodded excitedly. "Okay."

She suddenly kissed Jiang Chen on the face.

Bartley was completely speechless.

Showing off their affection now? he fumed internally. Bro, can't you wait until we get back to do that? This isn't the right time!

Jiang Chen said, "Let's go. We'll talk more once we return to the Titan World."

Bartley had been waiting for these words.

After gaining 10 Levels, Jiang Chen prepared to return. This incursion into the Cannibal Tribe's world had been a bold adventure. If three or four more such powerhouses had come, Jiang Chen would only have had the option to flee with Angelina; he had no interest in Bartley's fate.

On their return journey, they encountered enemies, all of whom Jiang Chen killed instantaneously...

On the northern outskirts of the town, Angelina looked at the blood on the ground and the scattered clothes. "Jiang Chen," she said, "you were right. They are all dead."

Bartley was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"We accepted a mission to rescue you. One hundred people formed an Alliance, but we had a bad start. We were discovered as soon as we entered the town. They're probably still looking for us!"

"What do we do now? If we pass through the town entrance, we'll be back at the edge of the Titan World."

"Don't worry, I'm here!"

The trio continued on their way.

Meanwhile, in the town, members of the Cannibal Tribe gathered in small groups. They had been notified about Bartley's escape and his plans to return to the Titan World.
