Chapter 164: Conflict! Dominant Overpowering!

Link and company all did not speak. They were thinking about which city this group of chance visitors had come from, and the five people across them had posed the question first.

They’d met on a narrow path, and the background of these people were unknown. Thus, Xue Linglong, Luo Xingyao, and the others all inwardly grew vigilant.

All their gazes were directed toward Link, wanting to know their City Master’s intentions.

Link remained with an aloof countenance, and he said calmly, “Mm, we’re from Unfallen City.”

“That’s it; you must’ve received the news too. There is a historical ruin in the Forest of Darkness, which is south of the wilderness. It is said that the ruin came from the previous era.”

At this point, the brow of the man who spoke arched as he looked smilingly at Link. He could tell that this young man was this team’s leader. “You people should be heading to the historical ruin as well. Why don’t we group up? I’m Chen Lingfeng, and we have five Stage Four powerhouses on our side. Together with all of you, our strength will be significantly boosted.”

“Whether it’s for self-preservation or vying for the chance to enter the historical ruin, our chances will become much greater.”

From the five-man group, a skinny man added, “Yes, join us! We guarantee that you’ll have a good life!”

His sight continuously lingered on the few ladies—Xue Linglong, Luo Xingyao, and Luo Haoyue—and his gaze was heated.

Gorgeous [Doomsday Online] players weren’t seen often. Not to mention that the few ladies were all Stage Four powerhouses, which was even rarer. It caused a desire to conquer them to rise in one’s heart involuntarily.

The skinny man’s Adam’s apple moved as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His mouth became slightly dry.

Xue Linglong and Luo Xingyao both furrowed their slender brows.

Luo Haoyue even wore a hostile look. If it weren’t because Link had given her a look, she probably would’ve struck right away.

Despite this, Luo Haoyue still scorned them coldly. “Have a good life just with the capabilities of you few?”

This taunt caused the countenances of the five people across them to change slightly.

Link smiled; he felt that making use of this team to understand the Forest of Darkness’s current situation would be good too. “We can group up, but there can only be one voice in the team.”

Chen Lingfeng—who headed the five-man team—frowned upon hearing Link’s words. Never mind that the woman is eccentric, but this youth before me is clearly reversing the roles of the host and the guest. He wants to vie for the command of the entire team.

His gaze turned cold, and he said in a hostile tone, “Friend, you might have gotten it wrong. It’s not that I’m not begging you to join us, but that you must do so.”

The skinny man also spoke with a cold laugh. “We are people of Quicksand City, and we are on friendly terms with a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse, Jiang Wencheng. Allowing you people to party up with us is doing you a favor; don’t be ungrateful!”

A sparkling glow flashed through Link’s eyes as he found this situation increasingly interesting.

Since these people were on friendly terms with a Star-rank powerhouse, it was very suspicious that they had come here instead of riding on that Jiang Wencheng’s coattails.

Could it be that the situation in the Forest of Darkness has become chaotic? The various factions’ powerhouses are fighting one another, which is why they came here to capture able-bodied men?

Link casually waved his hand, and indifference was written all over his face. “Noisy.”

Chen Lingfeng and his four companions sensed the contempt and disdain in Link’s attitude. A flood of anger rose in their chests.

They had mentioned a Star-rank powerhouse, Jiang Wencheng, but this Unfallen City team before them still refused to yield obediently.

To Chen Lingfeng and company, they felt that this team truly didn’t know what was good and what was bad for them. They were virtually tempting fate!

A sturdy man, armed with a huge axe, in the team immediately shouted, “Rascal, do you know who you are speaking to?”

“It seems like you want to do this the hard way!”

“You people must leave with us today! This is the order of a Stage Five powerhouse. If Unfallen City dares to defy this order, just wait for your city to be massacred!”

The look on Chen Lingfeng’s face was no longer peaceful. He finally ripped off his hypocritical mask and revealed his hidden fangs.

Up till now, they were still ordering the people about with arrogant airs, completely unaware of the terrifying existence that they had offended!

Massacre the city?

Once this sentence was said, the atmosphere instantly stagnated.

The gazes that Zhao Yongkang, Xue Linglong, and the others directed at Chen Lingfeng and his party even carried some pity…

“Is that so.” Link tugged at the corner of his lips, bringing out an icy smile.

Xue Linglong and company took the hint as cold glows rose in their eyes.

With a clasp of their palms, the weapons stored in their individual backpacks appeared in their hands. Sharp auras emerged at once.

A hint of contemplation appeared at the corners of her mouth as Luo Haoyue—who had been held back for a long time—no longer retained her restrained aura. Then, frightening momentum immediately erupted.

It was sinister and terrifying—even the skies turned dark because of it.

“Apologies, my Lord Envoy isn’t in a good mood, so please go to hell, everyone…”

A sweet voice sounded, but the words it carried didn’t have the slightest warmth. Instead, it directly set off chills in the hearts of Chen Lingfeng and company!

“The aura of a Stage Five powerhouse!”

“You’re actually a Stage Five powerhouse! How can this be?”

The faces of Chen Lingfeng and his party instantly paled, and the hair on their back stood on end. A chill even infiltrated their bodies at once, freezing their soul!

Stage Five powerhouse—they were the top combat forces at this present stage. They were very rare, even amongst the various major factions.

How could they expect to actually encounter one here?!

Chen Lingfeng and the others had dumbstruck expressions. Their hearts were filled with surprise and terror, and their minds were rather stunned!

They hadn’t been mentally prepared for this present situation—which had instantly changed—at all!

It was like a sheep—which one originally thought to be weak and easy to bully—suddenly becoming an ancient dragon. It was horrifying!

“Split up and escape!” Chen Lingfeng abruptly returned to his senses, let out a yell, and fled into the distance. He totally didn’t dare to remain in the same spot.

Seriously, the five of them—all Stage Four powerhouses—would be too few before a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse!

Moreover, there were still several other Stage Four powerhouses. If they were to fight, that would absolutely just be courting death!

The remaining four people also knew themselves well. Without a second word, they all chose to escape.

The attributes of Stage Four [Doomsday Online] players weren’t low. In the present life-and-death crisis, the few people even stimulated the potential in their bodies, wishing to grow an extra leg. They had covered close to 100 meters in the blink of an eye.

“Can you escape?” Luo Haoyue’s slender finger slightly lifted as if she were beckoning them. Streams of spider silk and dense spiderwebs swiftly extended out from beneath her feet and covered the ground.

The ground—which was originally overgrown with weeds—instantly seemed to be covered by a massive net. An aura that made one restless spread with it.

The speed at which the spiderweb extended was actually even faster than the speed at which Chen Lingfeng and the other Stage Four powerhouses were running!

“This is a domain!”

“It’s the domain of a Stage Five Star-rank powerhouse!”

Chen Lingfeng and company had been around, so they knew that they were being dragged into a domain. They revealed looks of fear and let out shouts!

Their escaping speeds slowed down at once. They even found it difficult to stride forward; it seemed as if streams of invisible spider silk had tightly wound around their bodies, restricting their movements!
