Chapter 840: Escape Trio Team

Lu Yin was not the only one who was being transferred over to the Greatwood Lavazone. Nearly thirty Hunters and a hundred Explorers were also being transferred along with him. 

Fortunately, Aden, and Wendy Yushan were not included in the transferred troops. Otherwise, Lu Yin would be worried about them. 

In the Dark Phoenix Lavazone, due to the existence of the Dark Phoenix family’s ancestor, Yen Phoenix, the Sixth Mainland and Technocracy were not too keen on invading this particular Lavazone. The Dark Phoenix Lavazone lay relatively close to the Greatwood Lavazone, so quite a few experts from the Dark Phoenix family were also being transferred to Greatwood Lavazone, including Sall Phoenix and Wei Rong. 

Wei Rong was caught off guard when he learned that he was being transferred to the Greatwood Lavazone, and he felt uneasy about this move. 

Why him? He was just some puny Explorer, and his strength definitely would not cause even the slightest wave in the Greatwood Lavazone. So just why was he being transferred to the most dangerous battlefield? Who had done this? There had to be something wrong with their brain! 

Wei Rong seldom lost control of himself, but when he saw the transfer order, he nearly cursed. He was a scholar, not a battle freak! This sort of place was more suitable for someone like Lu Yin, so why had the commanders gotten Wei Rong involved? 

He had a feeling that he was being set up.

Speaking of which, it seemed like that woman Qiong Xi’er was also in the Greatwood Lavazone. 

In Ironblood Weave, at the Ironblood Fort that held the vanguard position, Wang Wen was eating some snacks in a very leisurely manner. 

Ever since the Astral Beast Domain had been invaded by the Sixth Mainland, there had been no fighting at this border. Additionally, it had been a long time since he had been able to relax like this. 

Elder Lohar emerged from the void. “Elder Daggs has transferred those two to the Greatwood Lavazone. Lu Yin will be safe since he can take care of himself. However, why did you suggest to transfer Wei Rong over to the Greatwood Lavazone?” 

Wang Wen shook his bag of snacks, creating a crackling sound. “Wei Rong is very smart, and he might actually be able to help.” 

Elder Lohar clearly didn’t believe the youth. “On that sort of battlefield, intelligence will not be enough to protect him. Even if Lu Yin relies on his foreign objects, it will still be a coin flip whether or not he can actually survive. In fact, he may not survive even with the Chief Justice’s emblem.” 

“Who cares? Toss all of them over there! It’d be best if they can help out, and it’ll merely be unfortunate if they can’t.” Wang Wen laughed. 

Elder Lohar shook his head, as he was not able to see through Wang Wen’s thoughts. Still, the old man did not ask any further as he trusted the youth. Even if Wang Wen merely wanted to mess with Wei Rong, this was still fine. One person had protected the border of the Human Domain for many years and made numerous contributions to humanity in the process while the other had plotted against fellow humans from the same domain with the ambition of achieving instant success. Elder Lohar could determine which of the two was more important. 

As for Lu Yin, even if Wang Wen had not suggested for the young Explorer to be transferred to the Greatwood Lavazone, Elder Lohar still would have done so. This was precisely because of the Chief Justice’s emblem, as it was not simply a random token. 

“You must make your own preparations as well,” Elder Lohar suddenly said. 

Wang Wen was startled, and then his expression became serene. “Why? Am even I going to Endless Weave?”  

Elder Lohar replied, “It’s possible. The warfront is having a tough time with its defense, and a second round of reinforcements are being prepared.” 

“I can’t go. If I go, then what’ll happen here? Don’t forget—the Sixth Mainland also invaded the Astral Beast Domain. Once the Astral Beast Domain cannot resist anymore, the Sixth Mainland may go through the Primal Region and attack us here,” Wang Wen warned. 

Elder Lohar felt a headache. He nodded to the youth, but he did not say anything. Instead, he simply left. 

Wang Wen frowned, as the situation was growing more and more complicated. The Innerverse, Outerverse, and the Astral Beast Domain had all been invaded, and the Sixth Mainland was actually waging war on three simultaneous battlefields. Even scarier was the prospect that this might not actually be their full strength. The Fifth Mainland had to find a breakthrough and change this situation. Otherwise they would be destined to be annihilated. 

In order to reinforce the Greatwood Lavazone, the various troops did not pass through the dark lava mainland. Instead, they traveled towards the interior of Endless Weave and then used various spacecraft to travel towards the Greatwood Lavazone. This was faster, and it also had the advantage of avoiding any attacks from the Technocracy. 

Lu Yin had been stationed in the Ironblood Lavazone, which was rather far from the Greatwood Lavazone. Wei Rong, on the other hand, was closer as he had been initially stationed right next to the Greatwood Lavazone. Thus, it only took him two days to arrive in the Greatwood Lavazone. 

Wei Rong looked at the rivers of blood floating through space, and he also took in the sight of corpses crashing into the ground like meteors. Attacks frequently streaked across the battlefield, and any random one of them was powerful enough to finish him. Wei Rong trembled with fear. 

He was no coward; if he was, he would have never plotted against the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society. Still, in the end, he had used his brain to fight. Naturally, during the invasion of Armament Weave, he had never moved to the frontline of the battle either. Rushing out onto the battlefield of the border warfront was enough to make him panic. 

Although he had life-preserving methods, they would not stand up to such frequent attacks. 

However, regardless of whether or not he was willing to participate in the battle, he had to obey military orders. 

As Wei Rong stepped into the Greatwood Lavazone, a few androids moved to welcome him, only to be crushed by the nearby guards. 

When Wei Rong had been in the Dark Phoenix Lavazone, there had always been people around him protecting him, as the Dark Phoenix family was not willing to allow Wei Rong to die on this battlefield. However, in the Greatwood Lavazone, he had no one to rely on aside from himself. 

Qiong Xi’er and Zhu San were in a similarly miserable state. They were not weak Limiteers, but all of the attacks on this battlefield vastly surpassed their realm. In fact, they could already be considered truly lucky to have survived for so long. 

Over the last few days, Qiong Xi’er and Zhu San had hid everywhere, and they had also killed the occasional enemy who was not a space-exploring powerhouse. However, their actions were completely insignificant in the greater context of the battlefield. 

Coincidentally, they bumped into Wei Rong at this time. Smart people had similar thought patterns, and all of them had been searching for hiding spots. 

Wei Rong and Qiong Xi’er exchanged glances. Neither knew what to say, and they both felt a little embarrassed by their actions. 

“Hey, I seem to recall that you’re an Explorer. Protect us!” Zhu San shouted.

Wei Rong was left speechless, as he was powerless to even defend himself in this place.

In the heavens, the Enlighter, Akira, spat out a mouthful of blood as he was blasted beneath the ground by a tremendous strength. He had been drafted a month ago, as he had originally been stationed to protect Zenyu Star. 

In the single month since he had arrived on the battlefield, Akira had encountered many crises, but the crisis this time was indeed more difficult to hold out. 

At least five Enlighters had died on this battlefield, including Lord Egret, who was a powerhouse from Aegis. 

Akira emerged from underground with great difficulty, and he turned around to see Wei Rong and the others hiding. He spat out a mouthful of blood. “Hide further away.”

He then dashed upwards into outer space once again. 

Zhu San carefully peeked out, released a strange cry, and then hurriedly sneaked back. 

Unfortunately, he was a little too slow. Wei Rong grabbed Qiong Xi’er and Zhu San as he rushed further away. As they fled, their original location was blasted into smithereens by an overwhelming power. The scope of the attack was not large, but it pierced through the entire dark lava mainland. 

If they had not left in time, they would have died just then. 

Zhu San’s face turned deathly pale. “I want to go home.” 

Qiong Xi’er panted heavily, and she glanced over at Wei Rong. “I owe you my life.” 

“Then return it to me now. Goodbye!” Wei Rong tossed both Qiong Xi’er and Zhu San away and turned to flee. He had exchanged glances with a Sixth Mainland cultivator, and that singular moment had been enough to make him tremble. That enemy was an opponent he could not contest, and they had already noticed him. 

Qiong Xi’er was stumped, and she had not even responded to Wei Rong’s words when white bones protruded from the ground to the east before shooting at them. As the bones extended out, they thrust through numerous cultivators and androids, indiscriminately massacring everyone regardless of whether they were friend or foe. 

Zhu San opened his mouth as wide as he could. “RUN!” 

Wei Rong felt a chill run down his spine, as this person was definitely a terrifying powerhouse.  

The bones rapidly extended across the ground, and in just a blink of an eye, they were about to reach Qiong Xi’er and Zhu San. To the east, there was a young man with a cold glint in his eyes. He was known as Butcher, and he was a top expert of the Bloodburn Realm’s younger generation. Compared to the heirs of powerful families, Butcher was second only to the Realmling, Di Fa. 

Countless arrows rained down from the sky and shot towards Butcher. 

Butcher did not make any attempt to evade the arrows, instead allowing them to strike him as they did. Some were unable to pierce through his physical body, some others were stopped by the bones, and only one actually stabbed into his body. 

Quite a few disciples from Neo-Vestige Sect had shot out a coordinated volley, and one of them was even a Hunter. 

The arrow that had pierced Butcher’s body was from that Hunter expert. 

The bones stopped extending, and fresh blood sprayed from Butcher’s body, leaving ripples on the surface of the dark lava. 

Qiong Xi’er and Zhu San heaved heavy sighs of relief, as they had managed to keep their lives. 

Further away, Wei Rong felt that something was strange, as just that person’s gaze had been enough to make him panic. Even though a Hunter realm expert had taken action, this person should not have died that easily! Or were the disciples of Neo-Vestige Sect truly that powerful? 

There were five gaping holes on Butcher’s body that each had blood dripping from them, which looked completely horrifying. 

The group of Neo-Vestige Sect disciples did not focus on Butcher any further. Instead, they began shooting their arrows in other directions. 

Butcher twitched a finger, and a pill appeared in one of his hands, which he calmly tossed into his mouth. 

Nobody else besides Wei Rong, who was still watching him, noticed this movement, as everyone had believed that Butcher was dead. 

He blankly stared on as the bloody holes in Butcher’s body sealed themselves. The terrifying recovery speed left Wei Rong in disbelief, and he immediately fled without turning around. 

Zhu San ridiculed the fleeing Explorer. “That fellow’s too much of a coward. What’s he afraid of now that that freak’s already dead?” 

Qiong Xi’er suddenly turned back to take a look at Butcher. Coincidentally, at that moment, Butcher looked up, exchanging glances with Qiong Xi’er with his cold, bloodthirsty eyes. He revealed a ruthless smile and then raised a hand to lick the blood running down his arm. 

Qiong Xi’er’s scalp turned numb. “Run.” 

Zhu San turned around and almost fainted at what he saw. 

Butcher flourished an arm as bony spikes extended out from it towards the Neo-Vestige Sect disciples in the distance who had previously injured him. A single white spike pierced through a dozen disciples, killing them in midair. 

It was obvious that these spikes were bony growths coming from his own skeleton. However, they seemed to be endless as they were able to extend to such a distance. 

“Just die!” shouted the Hunter realm disciple from the Neo-Vestige Sect. He then pulled out an arrow that glinted with a dark-red radiance. It was obviously a special arrow that possessed arrow aura, and the archer quickly shot it at Butcher. 

Butcher leaped up, allowing the arrow to stab through his abdomen. He then took out another pill and flicked it into his mouth. The bones in his palms extended outwards to form a bony dagger that he then slashed out with. Behind him, the imprint of Ancestor Mojiang appeared, and his speed suddenly doubled. He brandished the bone dagger and sliced the Hunter realm disciple’s longbow apart. A giant wound also appeared on the Hunter’s body, as that slash had nearly bisected him. 

The Neo-Vestige Sect disciple was overwhelmed, as he had only recently broken through to the Hunter realm. However, he was still no ordinary cultivator. He was from the Neo-Vestige Sect, and he had just been badly injured by a Cruiser. His figure flashed as he dodged aside, and star energy gathered in his palm, forming an that he then shot out. 

Butcher still did not bother dodging, as the injury that he had received from the special arrow earlier had already fully healed. 

The star energy arrow pierced Butcher’s leg, but he simply smiled mercilessly as his dagger sliced out again. The Hunter realm disciple from the Neo-Vestige Sect tried to dodge the blade, but he had never considered that the bone dagger could extend. That one knife decapitated the Hunter. 

Multiple Neo-Vestige Sect disciples were overwhelmed, and they quickly formed arrows from their star energy and shot it all towards Butcher. 

Butcher laughed like a maniac, allowing all of the arrows to strike him. He then sliced out with his knife in retaliation, killing dozens of  the Neo-Vestige Sect disciples with one blow. He looked like an insane demon, which made Qiong Xi’er and the others who were watching from a distance to twitch uncomfortably; this person was simply a monster. 

A Hunter was already considered a powerhouse on the battlefield. The entire battlefield was too vast, and the Hunters of both sides were already spread too thin. Thus, there was no one in the nearby area who was Butcher’s match.
