Chapter 1368: Chapter 1347: We’re All Human, So Why Is the Gap So Huge?!
"What on earth are those two kids’ backgrounds, and how are their reactive abilities so strong?!"
"Both of their combat abilities have far surpassed their actual level, especially that boy, it’s downright absurd. Various combat techniques emerge one after another, mastering top-tier ancient martial arts skills like Shifting Form and Position, Air Striking, which few can learn. He used his combat experience and skills to toy with us like monkeys!"
"Our small team originally wanted to pursue them, but ended up falling into the cave trap he set! Of course, it wasn’t because we were stupid, it was because he was too clever. You wouldn’t believe it, he probably made a trap with some obvious flaws. I noticed them, smiled smugly, and leaped forward, thinking I had seen through his scheme. But the flawed one was a fake trap, while the seemingly fine spot was the real trap! That cave was fifteen meters deep and he sealed it with a giant stone. I was stuck down there, praying to the gods to no avail, locked up for half a day. I’ve roamed the martial realm for so many years, but never endured such humiliation."
"What do you call that? We were faked out, tricked into a cave, then crushed beneath shattered rocks, unable to move, and even got bitten by a snake in the crevices. If I weren’t an Intermediate-Tier Divine King, I’d be dead by now!"
"And for me..."
"Stand back, everyone, mine was the worst..."
Over 140 Guardians covered in dust, dirt, and ashes, looking disheveled and in utter distress, entered the camp and walked toward the center.
Leading them was a middle-aged man with a square face. His face was as black as coal, full of indignation.
Hearing the noise, two people emerged from the tent.
These two were the captains of the first and second Guardian squads.
"Old Hu, did you mess up?" The two blinked and asked.
"Don’t mention it, I messed up clearly and distinctly!"
"Those two youngsters are unbelievably crafty!"
"Not only did I fall for their trick, but I was also deceived into the water and had a bath with a dozen crocodiles. I even took a hit from the masked boy’s giant wave, fainted on the spot, and was only jolted awake at the furthest downstream by the bone-chilling river water!"
Hu Feng wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his eye, gritting his teeth somewhat.
As a High-Tier Divine King, he had never been so disheveled before.
He never even imagined that he would fall at the hands of a youngster.
"Haha, you have your day too! But what’s done is done. When you walk by the river often, you can’t avoid getting your shoes wet. As for those two kids, since they have the ability to enter the deep mountains, there’s nothing we can do about it. Let’s just forget it." The two captains exchanged winks, obviously teasing Hu Feng.
After teasing, they led Hu Feng into the tent to rest.
Leaving behind a crowd of people who were dumbfounded, slack-jawed, and questioning their very existence!
Among them, Huang Lin was particularly shocked. He gazed around at the guardian squad resting on the ground, lighting cigarettes, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets, repeatedly exclaiming, "How is this possible?!"
The third Guardian squad, with its 140 strongmen, not only failed to successfully block Ye Huan but were toyed with by him, ending up in utter embarrassment?!
This defies the common sense of Blue Star!
How exactly did Ye Huan do it?!
Huang Lin couldn’t understand how Ye Huan and the Empress broke through the Guardian squad’s defenses and pursuits, successfully entering Huaxia’s Endless Deep Mountains!
The squad included two Intermediate-Tier Divine Kings and one High-Tier Divine King...
No, the High-Tier Divine King was also in a sorry state!
Took a punch from Ye Huan!
Was toyed with by Ye Huan!
It seems there’s only one possibility.
That is, Ye Huan’s combat ability is shockingly powerful to an unimaginably terrifying extent!
Even a High-Tier Divine King can’t necessarily handle him!
Thinking of this, Huang Lin felt as if he had swallowed excrement, almost crying out loud.
As an Initial-Tier Divine King, the gap was so vast!
Ye Huan could gain an advantage over a High-Tier Divine King, while he couldn’t even withstand a veteran Intermediate-Tier Divine King!
Ye Huan, on his own, could lead the Empress through layers of blockades, successfully entering the Endless Deep Mountains.
While he, following the snakehead team, was beaten like a dog and captured here!
Why is the gap so large, why!!
Huang Lin was immensely anguished, as if he had lost everything.
"..."
Beside him, Wang Dahai and a group of wealthy men were thoroughly embarrassed.
They couldn’t even lift their heads!
Only now did they realize, that the masked young man wasn’t ungrateful, heedless of advice, or arrogantly self-important, but truly formidable!
The young man, on his own, repelled the entire third Guardian squad and successfully broke into the Endless Deep Mountains!
By comparison, the two SS and S-grade snakehead teams on Wang Dahai’s side couldn’t even last a quarter hour against the much weaker first and second Guardian squads!
Defeated in minutes!
"The masked young man wasn’t unwilling to pay, but for him to pay the team entry fee was throwing money away!"
"On his own, he could break into the deep mountains, so why pay those millions for nothing?"
"The fool isn’t him, it’s us. If we had known, we would’ve given our money to him. We’d be in the deep mountains with him now. Instead of seizing the opportunity, we mocked him, thinking him a fool. Truly looking down on him!"
The wealthy merchants were filled with regret, tears flowing, their hearts utterly unbalanced.
Their money was wasted, and they suffered a beating from the deep mountain Guardians.
As for Ye Huan, whom they mocked, entered the Endless Deep Mountains without spending a penny, unharmed!
Such a contrast truly makes one sigh!
"Ah, if I had known the outcome, I wouldn’t have tried to persuade that stunning leg beauty to join us! Sticking with the masked young man was the right choice. Had she really joined us because of our words, it would have been forsaking the light for the dark!"
"This shows she had clear vision!"
"The true clowns are us!"
The merchants sighed repeatedly, feeling as if reality had slapped their fat faces.
If they could do it over, they would never have been arrogant enough to persuade the Empress, nor would they have mocked Ye Huan!
This was self-inflicted suffering!
They had offered their faces to be slapped by Ye Huan!
Their conversation was filled with regret.
At this point, Hu Feng emerged from the tent, hands behind his back, coldly scanning the entire scene before he spoke in a cold voice: "All of you, behave yourselves. A grand event is about to take place in the deep mountains after a while. After the event, we’ll release you, but if you dare to trespass into the deep mountains again, you’ll be responsible for the consequences."
"Report!" From the crowd, Huang Lin raised his hand.
Hu Feng’s expression was indifferent, "Speak."
"I want to enter the mountains and participate in the event!" Huang Lin pulled down the scarf around his face, "I am Huang Lin, of the Huang Family, previously on a secret mission."
"Was it a secret mission or living in debauchery?"
Hu Feng’s sharp gaze seemed to pierce through everything.
Huang Lin was momentarily embarrassed, then gritted his teeth and forced himself to speak, "Captain Hu, without evidence, don’t speak carelessly, right?"
"If I investigate, I’ll uncover everything you’ve done outside in an instant."
"But I’m not bothered with you."
"Let your family come to retrieve you."
Having said this indifferently, Hu Feng returned to the tent.
An hour later.
A young man, strikingly similar to Huang Lin, arrived here. After some negotiation, he left with Huang Lin.
This was Huang Jia’s young master, the top genius—Huang Long!
