Bartley nodded, finally understanding the situation. He had been duped. To do such a thing in broad daylight, and with a man, no less! If it had been a woman, it might have been slightly more tolerable, but this... this was mortifying. If word of this got out, he'd be an absolute laughingstock!

Bartley was so livid he was practically ready to draw his sword. He turned, glared daggers at Liz, and ground his teeth in anger. He muttered under his breath, "Damn it, sooner or later, I'll get her into bed."

Jiang Chen was speechless. Your tastes are certainly... unique, huh? You wouldn't even spare an older woman? Truly a model for our generation...

Bartley quietly asked, "Big Brother, how are you? Did you get hit too?"

"No, I didn't."

"How is that possible?"

"Illusion Techniques don't work on me."

Bartley's jaw nearly dropped. Am I the only clown here?

"Bartley, next time you dare call me fat, it won't be this simple. I'll make you strip naked and go streaking."

Bartley turned around with a fawning expression, "Elder Sister Liz, I never said that! It was my Big Brother who said it."

Jiang Chen stared at Bartley. Nice one. Selling out your teammate? Impressive!

Liz then looked at Jiang Chen, saying, "My Illusion Techniques don't affect him. But if he speaks ill of me, you'll be punished too."

Bartley was stunned. Are you even being reasonable? What does what my Big Brother says have to do with me? He argued resentfully, "Why?"

"You just said he's your Big Brother."

"Did I say that? I don't think so!" Bartley feigned innocence, denying it to the bitter end.

Andrew said, "Enough. Now is not the time for internal strife. The enemy is attacking; we need to figure out how to deal with them."

Liz looked to the sky, her brow furrowed. "Our opponent is Abe Senri. Her [Demon Eye]'s Illusion Technique is incredibly powerful. I can barely manage against it; the rest of you will have to fend for yourselves."

Jiang Chen asked, "Can't you use an Illusion Technique on Abe Senri?"

Liz shook her head. "She's hidden herself. I can't locate her real body, and even if I could, I wouldn't be able to use an Illusion Technique on her. I can only help you resist her Illusion Techniques. However, once that red sphere opens its eye, even I will be powerless."

"Our only option now is to kill Abe Senri—to destroy her real body."

Andrew gazed at the red sphere and asked, "What if we destroy that [Demon Eye]?"

"We can't."

"Why not?"

"It's an Illusion Technique; it can't be destroyed. Only by killing the wielder's real body can it be dispelled. I understand the Hezi [Demon Eye] Skill better than any of you. Only when the wielder's real body is killed will the Illusion Technique be broken."

"Once it opens its eye, everyone will be drawn into the Phantasm Realm and begin to kill each other. We'll slaughter one another before the Cannibal Tribe even needs to attack," Liz said, her brow tightly knit.

Jiang Chen gazed at the red sphere—that was the Hezi [Demon Eye]. It was somewhat similar to the Infinite Moon Reader Skill, using Illusion Techniques to trap everyone in a phantasm, leading to their complete annihilation. How could the Cannibal Tribe possess such a devastating Hezi Weapon? It's terrifyingly powerful.

Liz looked at Jiang Chen. "You're the only one not controlled by Illusion Techniques. You have a chance to infiltrate the enemy camp and kill Abe Senri. This is our only opportunity. Once the [Demon Eye] opens, that chance will be gone."

Bartley immediately stepped forward, objecting, "That's out of the question! The enemy has an army of hundreds of thousands from the Cannibal Tribe, with experts as numerous as clouds! You're sending my Big Brother to his death!"

Liz shot him a disdainful look. "This is the only chance we have. Otherwise, we all die together."

Andrew glanced at Jiang Chen and proposed, "I'll take a few hundred men with you. Liz will join our team, and we'll break into the enemy's ranks to kill Abe Senri. Once Abe Senri is killed, the reward will be one million Merit Points."

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment. "Okay."

"What's your name?"

"Jiang Chen."

Andrew looked puzzled. "Jiang Chen... that name sounds very familiar."

Bartley said smugly, "My Big Brother is *the* Jiang Chen, the Swordsman from the Xileruo World! He's the one who single-handedly annihilated a million-strong Underworld Army and halted their invasion!"

A buzz of shock went through the crowd.

"What? It's really him?"

"So he's *that* Jiang Chen from the Xileruo World, the champion of the Battle of Talents!"

"Single-handedly killing a million soldiers of the Underworld Clan's army? Is that true?"

"Of course, it's true! It's recorded in the annals of the Continent of All-Gods. He even killed a Son of God from the Difiled God Camp!"

"So it was him all along! No wonder he's so incredibly strong!"

Andrew said, "It seems you're quite famous and highly capable. I trust you can lead us to repel the Cannibal Tribe and kill Abe Senri. If we obtain the [Demon Eye], I have the authority to give it to you."

An Illusion Technique, huh! This is very interesting. So, I've basically got the Sharingan now?

Andrew quickly assembled a group of experts. Together with Liz, the team of over a hundred charged towards the Cannibal Tribe's army, with Angelina also joining them. Now that Angelina possessed the Nine Tails [Hezi], she was quite formidable as well. Did it only require immense spiritual power? Angelina was the reincarnation of a God; her spiritual power was naturally unparalleled, stronger than anyone else's. Controlling a mere Sixth-stage Nine Tails [Hezi] was trivial for her. Even a Ninth-stage Kouji [Nine-Tailed] would be well within her capabilities to manage.

That fool Bartley tagged along as well; his own strength wasn't much to speak of, but sticking with Jiang Chen felt safer...

The hundred-strong group charged toward the enemy camp.

Jiang Chen took the lead, activating his Wan Jian Gui Clan Mode, Sky Flashing Mode, and Primal Energy Field Mode...

Bartley was exceptionally excited. The Boss is truly the Boss! These Skills are incredible!

Andrew glanced over but said nothing. It was said that a Swordsman had appeared in the Xileruo World, an existence even stronger than The Fallen. Now, it seemed those claims were true; countless streams of Sword Qi swirled, coalescing into a tornado that surged forward.

Abe Harumei watched the hundred-strong group advance imposingly. He understood their intent: a forced assault to kill Abe Senri, and their ranks were filled with experts. Abe Harumei ordered, "Stop their advance! Once my sister's Skill activates, they will have no escape but death!"

"Yes, sir!"

Tens of thousands of Cannibals surged onto the battlefield, charging towards Jiang Chen's hundred-strong group. With a mere thought from Jiang Chen, Sword Qi erupted. A brilliant white light flashed, and tens of thousands of Cannibals died instantly, utterly unable to withstand his Sword Qi.

Experience +2,400...

Experience +2,400...

Experience +2,400...

Experience +2,800...

...

He reached Level 121.

Abe Harumei cried out in alarm. What kind of monstrous Skill is this? Tens of thousands of warriors, dead just like that? Is this fellow's attack range and damage output truly so horrifying?

Abe Harumei leaped into the air. He extended his right hand, and a line of black light appeared upon it. A formidable power emanated, affecting the surrounding Space, even causing it to tremble.

Sensing the immense power, Jiang Chen looked up. "Who is that?" he asked.

Andrew stared at the sky, his expression shifting drastically. "That's Abe Harumei! His Hezi is called [Atom], and its power is terrifyingly immense!"

"Oh no, he's concentrating atomic power!"

"Damn it, he's aiming at us!"

"What do we do? He may only be Third-stage, but that atomic power is more dreadful than a Forbidden Curse!"

Faced with Abe Harumei's atomic ray, everyone felt a chill of terror.
