463: Not leaving

"How is this possible!"

Diss and the three people behind him exclaimed simultaneously, their faces filled with disbelief.

Nila was the only tank among the twelve Captains.

In regular team training matches, whichever side had Nila usually won.

Yet, at this moment, their strongest shield was actually cleaved in half by a Rank 20 Sky Soaring Warrior!

Strange!

Too strange!

This made the Roast Chicken Civilization, which had developed technology and ruthless tactics, inwardly exclaim in shock.

This isn't scientific!

After Nila was cleaved by Chen Du, his Flame Crystal State also dissipated.

The liquid-like flames flowing on his body seemed to extinguish, rapidly shrinking until they vanished.

At this moment, more clearly than the pain from his body, Nila felt a profound weakness and powerlessness.

He was so weak that it was difficult to even speak, a feeling he had never experienced before.

Although it was his first time experiencing it, he knew this was the feeling of death.

He slightly raised his hand, pointing at Chen Du, wanting to say something.

Unfortunately, Chen Du's movements were swift. As soon as Nila made a move, Chen Du quickly thrust his sword, once into the opponent's left chest and once into the right chest.

He then quickly pulled out his sword and swung another strike at Nila.

Separating his head from his body.

Through the previous battle, Chen Du had already confirmed that the Roast Chicken Civilization was not a particularly tenacious race; they were normal beings who would die if their heads were cut off or their hearts pierced.

However, Nila's state was somewhat special. Chen Du didn't know if the opponent could still struggle, so he simply didn't think too much and directly ensured he was as dead as could be.

"Nila!"

The battle changed in an instant. Nila being cleaved, his heart pierced, and his head cut off, all three events happened almost simultaneously.

At this moment, Diss and the three people behind him roared in unison, but no one dared to step forward. Chen Du's actions had indeed stunned them.

Although he was only Rank 20, the combat power he displayed was too incredible.

Only now did they understand why Captain Ning Xiao had emphasized in the Crystal Wings that the Captain should deal with him.

Diss also felt very regretful at this moment; he bore some responsibility for Nila's death.

If he had held Nila back just now, and the five of them had defended together, would this invader have been able to succeed so easily?

However, if he were to review and conclude, Diss believed that this invader was too strong!

Unscientifically strong!

A Rank 20 instantly killing a Rank 24 should simply be impossible!

Such a thing, even their great leader, Yerusalakun, who had joined the Dynasty Civilization, could not achieve.

However, if they didn't advance, would Chen Du also not advance?

Obviously, that was impossible.

After killing Nila, Chen Du flew directly towards the other four, and his speed was even faster than Nila in his Flame Crystal State!

"Damn it! Stall until the Captain arrives!"

Diss frowned, his expression grim.

He didn't know why this underground fiend was so strong, but stalling for time was different from a direct confrontation.

This Rank 20 Martial Artist having such strength must have used some unconventional means.

Diss firmly believed that as long as he could stall the opponent for a certain period, even if the Captain didn't arrive, he was confident he could take down the opponent!

Chen Du charged straight at Diss, leading the way.

Seeing this, Diss's expression turned ugly, but he was secretly delighted in his heart. If it came to hard 1v1 strength, he was indeed slightly inferior to Nila.

But his specialty was guerrilla warfare.

Stalling for time, that was his Unique skill!

"Damn it! I won't let you get out!"

Facing Chen Du flying directly towards him, Diss shouted with a look of readiness to die.

His eyes revealed determination, bravery, decisiveness, and fearlessness.

"Then let's see if you have the ability!"

Chen Du also roared, raising the longsword in his hand, striking a pose as if to cut him in half at the waist.

However, just as Chen Du's sword was about to reach Diss.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this!"

Among the four, the Rank 22 Sky Soaring Warrior, who was the lowest Rank, suddenly cried out without any warning.

And Chen Du, in the process of swinging his sword towards Diss, forcibly changed direction and swung towards the neck of that Rank 22 Sky Soaring Warrior.

Pfft!

After a crisp snapping sound, that Rank 22 Sky Soaring Warrior was instantly decapitated.

"Taorong!"

Diss and the other two exclaimed in unison at this scene.

"The evil Underground people actually use such a feint!"

At this moment, a hint of fear appeared in Diss's eyes as he looked at Chen Du:

"I understand. No wonder Nila's movements also paused without warning just now. It seems you possess some Mental Energy ability that can forcibly invade others' consciousness."

"Not only that, your Martial Skill level is actually at the Control level!"

"No wonder Nila was taken down by you in one move!"

Diss said in disbelief. Previously, due to the distance and the opponent's Rank being 20.

For someone at this Rank to master Martial Skills at the Control level was honestly a bit too over-the-top, so he had always thought Chen Du had temporarily boosted his power using some method from the Underground or a Unique racial talent.

Now it seemed he was wrong, terribly wrong.

The opponent was simply crushing them with Martial Skills!

Although Diss's Martial Skill level was Entrance to the Microscopic 33%, he understood that this 1% represented a difference in level, a very significant gap.

Whether he could advance to Rank 25, this 1% of Martial Skill was crucial.

But even so, the opponent's power was still too great. Why was this?

Was it a Unique ability of Sky Soaring Warrior, or a racial Unique ability?

Diss speculated in his heart.

Chen Du did not respond; he was locking onto targets to reduce their numbers.

The next target would definitely be one of the Rank 23 individuals.

His Nimble Cats Grace was powerful because of its no-CD and absolutely dominant invasion.

As long as the Mental Energy Rank was not higher than his own, Nimble Cats Grace could directly enter the opponent's mind like a ghost.

Because the Mental Energy Rank was equal to the Mental Energy Rank of the invaded target, it was difficult to cause much damage. The current purpose of this move was primarily to achieve surprise.

"Let's retreat!"

Just as Chen Du was about to strike again, Diss spoke.

"This invader is too strong; we cannot handle him. Retreat, do not make meaningless sacrifices!"

After Diss finished speaking, the three of them also left without any hesitation, heading in three different directions.

Chen Du's eyes narrowed slightly, his brain furiously thinking.

If he pursued now, whoever he chased would surely die.

But he was not familiar with the Roast Chicken Civilization, nor was he familiar with this Valley of Evil.

From his priority of killing the Rank 22 Sky Soaring Warrior, it was clear he wanted to reduce their numbers.

So, the opponent would definitely assume he was chasing the two Rank 23 individuals, which meant the paths those two Rank 23 individuals took were very likely to be traps!

On those two paths, there might appear things to trap him, or cause him to encounter the Captain prematurely.

If the opponent did the opposite, letting the Rank 24 Sky Soaring Warrior, Diss, take the dangerous path, it was not impossible either.

But there was also another possibility: that all three paths were safe, but they were betting he wouldn't chase any of them, and instead choose a fourth path to leave.

These thoughts formed in Chen Du's mind in an instant. Due to the urgency of time, Chen Du had to make a decision as quickly as possible.

His eyes, closed for 2.5 seconds, slowly opened. After these few short seconds of deep contemplation.

Chen Du chose neither any of the three, nor the fourth path.

He chose the fifth path.

Not to leave!
