CHAPTER 667: CHAPTER 408: THE THING BENEATH THE SEAL (PART 2)

The Blue-bloods were the first to notice the abnormality and shouted loudly, "It’s an ambush!"

Arrows from the Elf Clan rained down like a storm, and the Pharaoh quickly raised a magic barrier to block them.

Red Beard pulled out a giant axe, swinging it to chop down the arrows.

The Elf Clan appeared on the mountains, led by Terres, charging toward Xiling City.

Lu Heng’s team of four followed suit.

The Qingluan Divine Bird soared across the sky, and Lu Heng leaped from its back, charging into the battlefield alongside Terres.

The battle was about to erupt.

The raiding team of four drew their weapons to meet the fight, but the Pharaoh noticeably sensed something was off.

The sudden appearance of the Elf Guards indicated an ambush, and their large numbers made direct confrontation very unfavorable.

Fortunately, after Terres, Fiona, and Lu Heng charged into the battlefield, the Elf Archers on the cliffs ceased their shooting, relieving the pressure of the arrow rain.

Though the Elf Clan’s ambush was numerous, this action was not easy.

Because after the seal was broken, Abyss Pollution Source surged from underground, requiring the Elf Clan to focus more on purifying the Abyss Pollution Source than dealing with the raiding team.

Forest Elder Seren led the Druids and Arcane Army to prevent the spread of the Abyss Pollution Source.

He raised his vine staff high, chanting ancient spells, unleashing natural energy that fell like light rain, clashing with the black mist of abyssal contamination, producing a "sizzling" sound.

The Arcane Army cast arcane spells, forming barriers to intercept the spreading Abyss Pollution Source.

The Nature Messenger brought by Seren scattered Golden Tree Seeds on the periphery.

Su Muyu descended from the sky, releasing Life Tree Vines, unleashing natural energy to help the Golden Tree Seeds grow.

The Golden Tree Seeds sprouted and grew into trees at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a circle that created a forest barrier to block the outward spread of the Abyss Pollution Source.

...

The battle on the battlefield grew more intense.

The Pharaoh wielded his magic wand, summoning Abyssal Demon Soldiers from the Abyss Pollution Source to charge at the Elf warriors.

Red Beard swung his giant axe, each strike imbued with the strength to split mountains and crack rocks.

Terres focused on the situation below the Moon Well, as the raiding team’s assassin called "Dark Star" had jumped into it.

He was worried that his teacher’s remains would be desecrated.

Lu Heng noticed his anxiety and voluntarily said, "You go in. Leave this to me."

"Alright!" Terres didn’t hesitate and dove into the Moon Well.

Lu Heng’s sword light flashed like lightning as he single-handedly faced the Pharaoh and Red Beard, still having to deal with the demon soldiers emerging from the Abyss Pollution Source.

Even so, he did not fall behind at all.

Ke Yiming stood at a distance, consistently avoiding the battle. His situation was awkward now; even if the Pharaoh was not yet aware that the ambush was due to his betrayal, once he realized it, he would surely suspect him.

So, to save his life, he cannot help either side now.

As he observed the situation in secret and found the Pharaoh’s gaze occasionally sweeping over, he realized he had been suspected.

"025, stop him!" The Pharaoh suddenly issued a command to Ke Yiming, pointing at Lu Heng.

Ke Yiming knew it was a test and a signal for him to retreat. He didn’t want to be discarded as a pawn, so instead of stepping forward to stop Lu Heng, he retreated.

"Do you want to betray the organization?" The Pharaoh’s voice carried a chilling tone.

Ke Yiming continued to retreat without responding to him.

Things had reached a point where no explanation was needed.

The Pharaoh’s eyes flashed coldly, commanding Red Beard to stop Lu Heng, then leapt back, waving his wand to open a space gate.

The space gate opened rapidly, and Lu Heng wanted to stop it, but Red Beard blocked him for a moment, allowing the space gate to fully form.

The next instant, Lu Heng released Void Flash, disappearing from his original spot, crossing 40 meters to appear beside the space gate.

After opening the space gate, the Pharaoh wasn’t planning to wait for other raiding team members to pass through; he intended to leave first.

However, before he could enter the space gate, a sword was already blocking his path.

Having received prior intel from Ke Yiming, Lu Heng knew that the Pharaoh had the ability for multiple instances of spatial teleportation, so upon getting close, he didn’t give him any chance, directly throwing out the [Space Confinement Treasure].

As he released the [Space Confinement Treasure], he charged up, preparing to unleash the Space Continuous Slash.

The Pharaoh, aware of Lu Heng possessing the [Space Confinement Treasure], raised his magic wand upon seeing the treasure, rippling out an energy wave.

Buzz!

The Space Controller’s energy shook, sealing the energy of the [Space Confinement Treasure].

Almost simultaneously, the spatial energy within him surged, instantly disappearing from the original spot and reappearing 30 meters behind.

As the Pharaoh vanished, Lu Heng slashed through the void, dashing forward, entering the void, and under the guidance of Traceless Sword Intent, locked onto the Pharaoh’s position, instantly crossing 30 meters to pursue him.

Time seemed to slow but things happened rapidly.

The Pharaoh had just finished teleporting when he discovered Lu Heng had already caught up, the spatial energy within him surged again, teleporting once more to 30 meters to the left.

Lu Heng spun his sword, once more breaking through the void, traversed over, and his sword tip was only 10 centimeters from the Pharaoh’s forehead.

The Pharaoh felt the harsh sword wind coming straight at him and let out a roar, the spatial energy surged again, teleporting once more.

This time, he crossed a distance of 30 meters, appearing next to the space gate, ready to step through it.

His original strategy was to use two teleportations to lead Lu Heng away from the space gate, then teleport back to pass through it and leave the battlefield.

Under normal circumstances, with his ability to teleport three times in a row, any opponent would be fooled endlessly.

However, as he teleported back to the space gate, a sound of space shattering exploded behind him.

Bang!

Lu Heng appeared once more, Aurora Blade slicing down from top to bottom.

Inwardly shaken, the Pharaoh never expected that Lu Heng could still keep up.

Including the initial Void Flash, Lu Heng had blinked four times in succession.

This was entirely beyond his expectations.

His number in the Creator Organization was 011, and besides a few core founders of the Creator Organization, his position was quite high.

The reason for being so highly regarded was that his Initial Talent included a spatial attribute.

A Superpower User awakening with spatial talent; the potential was obvious.

Thus, he received a massive resource tilt from the Creator Organization, advancing rapidly in strengthening spatial abilities.

Before meeting Lu Heng, he was the Superpower User among humans with the most mastery of teleportation abilities.

Not only could he open space gates for long-distance spatial movement with his team, but he could also perform multiple teleportations.

He thought that among humans, there wouldn’t be anyone who could harm him even slightly under his teleportation abilities.

He could even temporarily seal the effects of spatial treasures using the Space Controller Talent.

Therefore, even the S-Level [Space Confinement Treasure] was ineffective against him.

Even so, he still couldn’t escape Lu Heng’s sword edge.

Feeling the danger approaching from behind, having exhausted his three consecutive spatial movements, he could only turn and swing his magic wand, rippling out a Spiritual Field to try to withstand the strike.

But this thought was too naive.

Lu Heng’s sword slashed down, the wind roared, and a Wind Dragon formed.

Countless Tornado Blades, carrying the power of the Rift Slash, sliced his body into countless pieces, scattering them into a bloody mist in an instant.

The Pharaoh only managed to let out a scream before exploding into a blood rain blown away by the fierce wind.

Ke Yiming, standing outside the battlefield, upon seeing the Pharaoh killed, immediately prepared to escape.

At this moment.

The communication device he carried transmitted Lu Heng’s voice, "I advise you not to run."

Ke Yiming had no intention of being captured again; being caught by either side would end in his death, and this was his only chance to escape.

Worrying that Lu Heng would pursue, he hurriedly said into the communication device, "That’s not your concern now. First, look at what’s beneath the Moon Well."

"What do you mean?"

"One last free piece of information for you, the skeleton beneath the seal has long awakened, just unable to break out, so you better deal with this Elf Sword Saint skeleton. Also, I will come back for the Death God’s Deputy Scythe; none of you can take this Class from me." With that, Ke Yiming rushed into the Heath Mountain Range.

Lu Heng initially wanted to chase, but after hearing his words, he immediately turned to look at the opening of the Moon Well.

He only heard a roar shaking heaven and earth from the well, with a sword edge shooting up, and Terres burst out from the well.

Following, a body was flung out from the Moon Well, crashing onto the ground and breaking in two; it was none other than Dark Star from the raiding team.
