Chapter 98: Third Job Advancement Quest Completed, Conspiracy

Hearing the words of the leading Evil Sword Demon, the four members of the Tianhai City team felt their hearts sink. They were originally 6 against 7, which was already a precarious situation.

There were actually three more Evil Sword Demons on their way.

If those three Evil Sword Demons also arrived at the battlefield, the situation would become 6 against 10.

Even if the human professional mentioned by the demon arrived, it would only be 7 against 10. The advantage was still not on their side.

"Don't worry, everyone. Let's hold on a little longer. The teams from Honghai City, Lanhai City, and Huanghai City are also on their way!" Tang Yanran said encouragingly.

Hearing Tang Yanran's words, the four members from Tianhai City and Jiang Youwei beside them relaxed slightly, but it was clear that the demons opposite them would not give them the chance to wait.

"Heh, if you want to wait for reinforcements, you have to be alive to see them arrive!" The leading Evil Sword Demon said while intensifying the offensive.

The other six Evil Sword Demons behind him also intensified their attacks.

For a moment, the situation for the six Longyuan Squad captains on the Tianhai City battlefield became precarious.

"Damn it!" Jiang Youwei swung her giant hammer, knocking away an Evil Sword Demon in front of her.

She had originally wanted to kill a few Evil Sword Demons to complete the task for the International Class, but now she was deeply surrounded.

Just then, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Several sounds of something breaking through the air rang out.

"Someone is approaching!" Jiang Youwei hurriedly looked over.

Tang Yanran, who was beside her, also looked over: "Is it a demon or a teammate?"

The four members of the Tianhai City Longyuan Squad also looked up. Whether the arrivals were demons or humans would determine how the scales of this battle would tip.

But after seeing the figures clearly, the human side—Jiang Youwei, Tang Yanran, and the four members of the Longyuan Squad—felt even more desperate in their hearts. The arrivals were actually three Evil Sword Demons!

"Hey, you guys are slow enough." The leading Evil Sword Demon rolled his eyes at the three Evil Sword Demons who had just arrived.

"It's not my fault, it's because of the effect of Taunt; I've only just recovered now." The three Evil Sword Demons shook their heads, having only just regained their senses.

Then, he looked at Tang Yanran, Jiang Youwei, and the four Longyuan Squad captains from Tianhai City in front of him.

"How should we enjoy this delightful torture?"

The ten Evil Sword Demons looked at the six human professionals before them with cruel eyes. It was as if they were looking at fish on a chopping block, and cruel smiles appeared on their lips.

The ten Evil Sword Demons quickly formed a circle, surrounding the six people. 10 against 6!

A captain leading the Tianhai City team sighed: "Everyone, get your teleportation methods ready."

Hearing his words, the eyes of the others present dimmed, including those of Tang Yanran and Jiang Youwei.

The hot-tempered loli Jiang Youwei gritted her teeth: "Damn it, is this the end? Are we all going to be teleported out?"

She was furious, not just because they would be teleported out and fail the task for the International Class. It was also because if these six were all teleported out, the number of remaining human professionals would only be ten. How could they defeat these ten Fifth Job Advancement Evil Sword Demons? How could they enter the Beast Kings Lair to kill the Beast King?

One had to know that according to past records of killing the Beast King, the number of Longyuan Squad captains entering the Beast Kings Lair had to be at least ten to have a chance of killing the Beast King.

But even though Jiang Youwei and Tang Yanran were unwilling, they were helpless in the face of the siege by the ten Evil Sword Demons. They could only take out their teleportation compasses and prepare to teleport away.

But just then, whoosh, a golden light appeared in front of everyone. "Yo, everyone's here."

Seeing the newly appeared figure, everyone present—whether it was the six human professionals or the ten Evil Sword Demons—was stunned. The newly appeared figure attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked over, and they saw that the person who had just appeared before them was a teenager who looked like a high school student. It was none other than Xiao Fan.

"It's over..." A Longyuan Squad captain from Tianhai City felt his heart sink again when he saw the newly arrived Xiao Fan.

He had originally thought that even if the six of them were teleported out, there would still be at least ten Longyuan Squad captains left on Penglai Island. They could still maneuver against these demons and might have a chance to enter the Beast Kings Lair to behead the Beast King.

But now Xiao Fan had also appeared here. Didn't that mean one more Longyuan Squad captain would be teleported out? Although Xiao Fan appeared to be the weakest in their eyes and didn't seem to have much impact, having one more person meant having one more bit of strength.

"It's him! It's the kid who rejected me!" Jiang Youwei recognized Xiao Fan.

"Sigh, one more person is going to be teleported out." Tang Yanran sighed. Jiang Youwei, hearing Tang Yanran's words, also showed the same disappointed expression.

After all, in their eyes, Xiao Fan looked like nothing more than a high school student. Even if he had arrived at the battlefield, he was just here to feed the enemy.

Unlike the disappointed expression on the human side, the Evil Sword Demon side became happy.

"Haha, great, another human kid has come to die!"

"Hehe, we can eliminate one more Longyuan Squad captain."

"Hey, hey, hey, hurry up and use your teleportation compasses, teleport yourselves away, don't force us to take action!" The ten Evil Sword Demons had mocking expressions.

They had long known that these Longyuan Squad captains carried teleportation compasses. They could teleport themselves away across boundaries, so they did not focus their primary goal on killing the Longyuan Squad members.

The most important task the ten Evil Sword Demons had received was to prevent these Longyuan Squad captains from entering the inner island. In this way, when the time limit for Penglai Island was reached, the King of Ten Thousand Beasts could summon monsters, launch a beast tide, and attack The Sixteen Coastal Cities. This was their most important goal this time.

Hearing the words of the ten Evil Sword Demons, the faces of Jiang Youwei and the others turned even paler. The opponents actually knew that they had teleportation compasses; it seemed they were definitely prepared.

However, unlike the pale faces of these people, Xiao Fan was unhurriedly counting the number of Evil Sword Demons opposite him: "1... 2... 3, 10 of them, not one less!"

Counting these 10, he would have just completed his Third Awakening task.

At this moment, Jiang Youwei stepped forward: "Hey, brat, although you rejected my team-up, the situation is critical now, so I won't hold it against you."

"I have another teleportation compass on me, take it."

"There's no need for that!" Xiao Fan shook his head. He tapped his finger lightly, initiating a zero-frame start directly.

The next moment, dark clouds rolled above everyone's heads, and streaks of dark clouds gathered together. The massive amount of dark clouds attracted the attention of everyone present. It wasn't just the human side; even the ten demons looked up towards the front.

Xiao Fan pointed his finger. Rumble! Bolts of lightning, like pouring rain, tore through the sky. They struck directly onto the bodies of the 10 demons, and the 10 demons were all instantly killed by Xiao Fan.

[Ding! You have killed 10 Fifth Job Advancement demons. Your Third Awakening task is complete. You will receive 60 free attribute points every time you level up in the future.]

On the other side, the powerful commotion also shocked two figures on the inner island. These two figures, one wearing a light green magic robe, was the demon Hela. The other figure, wearing a purple magic robe, was her best friend, the demon Lilith.

"What the hell is that commotion? What are those low-level demons doing? They can't even handle such a small matter; they really are a bunch of trash!" Hela said, frowning.

"Indeed, but Sister Hela, is it really necessary for us to do this?"

"With the two of us, plus those 20 pieces of trash, it's enough to kill all the Longyuan Squad captains on the island. Is it necessary to create two Beast Kings Lairs?" Lilith touched her chin, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"You don't understand. Be careful with everything; I took a big tumble last time!" Hela recalled the scene at the Gate of the Demon Abyss earlier.

"However, as long as we don't run into that kid, this mission won't have any problems!"
