The Shadow Demon Spider was taken aback, its body trembling and quickly turned intangible!
“Hmph!”
A faint snort came from the void.
A shadow flashed in the sky, and the fifth grade Star Martial Artist appeared, stepping heavily on the back of the Shadow Demon Spider.
“Boom!”
The huge body of the Shadow Demon Spider crashed into the ground, shattering into pieces!
Even its legs were instantly broken in several places!
“So powerful!”
Chen Fan was amazed.
This was the power of a fifth grade…
Just a casual step, easily crushed the body of a level 10 Guardian Beast!
Star Martial Artists didn’t have guardian beasts, so they focused more on martial arts and strengthening their own bodies.
The fifth grade Star Martial Artist looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, and his aura wasn’t particularly eye-catching. But with this step, it seemed that even the powerful Wild Savage Ape couldn’t withstand it!
“Ga…zhi!”
The Shadow Demon Spider, with its body shattered into pieces, was still not completely dead.
One of its legs, like a sharp Death Scythe, twisted and slashed towards the Star Martial Artist on its back!
The Star Martial Artist’s face was cold, turning his palm into a blade, and slashed down…
“Crack! ”
A flash of light in the sky, and the Shadow Demon Spider’s leg like a Death Scythe, was instantly severed!
And that Star Martial Artist, after a faint snort, raised his right foot slightly and stomped down again…
“Boom!”
A terrifying wave of Qi erupted from the center of the Shadow Demon Spider, ripple outwards in all directions!
Dark green sticky liquid flowed from the monster’s body, emitting a foul smell.
The Star Martial Artist somersaulted gracefully in mid-air and landed back on the ground.
Just then…
On the other side of the square, by the entrance of the Beast Trainer Association, a man wearing a Duck Tongue Cap hurriedly turned around, trying to leave.
But…
A cold figure silently appeared in front of him: “Trying to run now, isn’t it a bit too late?”
The man wearing the Duck Tongue Cap hesitated for a moment: “What are you talking about? I don’t understand…”
“Is that so?” replied the Star Martial Artist from Beast Trainer Association with a faint smile, and his right hand shot out like lightning, grabbing the shoulder of the man wearing the Duck Tongue Cap!
The man wearing the Duck Tongue Cap screamed in pain!
With his shoulder firmly grasped by the iron claw-like fingers, the man wearing the Duck Tongue Cap found himself completely immobilized.
He couldn’t even mobilize his Star Power!
The difference in strength between the two was too great!
The Star Martial Artist from the Beast Trainer Association, expressionless, dragged the man wearing the Duck Tongue Cap down to the old Sophora Tree and threw him next to the corpse of the Shadow Demon Spider.
That fifth grade Star Martial Artist looked around at the onlookers and said solemnly: “The villain who trespassed the Beast Trainer Association with ill intent has been captured, there is no need for alarm.” “The city defense team will be here soon to handle this.”
“You can all disperse now!”
Chen Fan nodded gratefully to the fifth grade Star Martial Artist.
He felt slightly irritated…
These crazed people dared to attack him right inside East Sea City!
Chen Fan coldly instructed Gangzi and the Elder Ape to return to the Beastmaster’s Space. Then, he boarded the back of the White Crane with Snowy and Feicui.
It seemed that investing a lot of money in buying weapons and armor this time was the right decision.
But it wasn’t enough.
Not nearly enough!
He had to increase Snowy and the others’ strength even further!
Breaking through from combat power level 6 to level 7;
Species Level rose from Low Lord to Moderate Lord!
At the same time, using the power fed back from Snowy and the others, Chen Fan’s cultivation made a breakthrough to Grade 2 Realm!
On White Crane’s back, Chen Fan accessed the Beast Trainer’s Association internal resource network and began searching for materials for Snowy, Gangzi, and others’ breakthrough to level 7.
It had been nine days since Snowy and the others broke through to level 6.
Preparing to break through to level 7 now seemed a bit hasty.
However, Chen Fan felt a lack of security without raising their strength and his own.
Even within the main city, it wasn’t 100% safe.
Without the System this time, allowing him to see the invisible monster attribute panel, he might have been in big trouble.
Who would have known they would encounter such a crazy assassin within the main city… even right at the entrance of the Beast Trainer’s Association?
Hopefully, the city defense team could pry some valuable information from the man with the Duck Tongue Cap.
Chen Fan checked Snowy and the others’ attribute panel while searching for various materials, adding them to the shopping cart.
One way or another, he would get all the things needed for their upgrade first.
The White Crane flew incredibly fast…
and soon arrived above the War God Academy’s training ground.
After thanking it, Chen Fan jumped down from its back.
On the training ground, Ye Hao ran over, hopping and jumping: “Brother Fan, you’re here… huh? Why do you look so awful?”
“Let’s walk and talk,” Chen Fan said. “This morning, I encountered an assassin right outside the entrance of the Beast Trainer’s Association.”
“What?!” Ye Hao was shocked. “An assassin? At the entrance of the Beast Trainer’s Association?”
Chen Fan turned to Ye Hao and whispered, “How much do you know about Nightmare Hall?”
“Don’t tell me you don’t know… with so many incidents happening recently, I don’t believe that your big seafaring families in East Sea City know nothing about Nightmare Hall! ”
Ye Hao’s face became solemn: “Brother Fan, are you saying that the assassin who ambushed you at the entrance of the Beast Trainer’s Association this morning is from Nightmare Hall?”
“I don’t know yet,” Chen Fan said darkly. “But I have no enemies in East Sea City… I only beat Li Fengxing a few times.”
“I killed a few people in the Black Ant Forest, but they were all newcomers from outside.”
“Moreover, the main envoys who wanted to deal with me have already been killed by me…”
Before he could finish speaking,
He received a message from Zhang Hai on his mobile Dhone…
“The person who ambushed you at the entrance of the Beast Trainer’s
Association is from Nightmare Hall!”
“They are after a ring in your possession.”
“It’s the ring from the black-robed man you killed when you rescued Zhen Qing and Ye Hao.”
“Have you arrived at War God Academy yet?”
“I have just sent someone to War God Academy to find you. Give the ring to him… A while ago, an Artifact Refiner was sent from Demon City to study the ‘Beast Capturing Circle’ you acquired, and just in time, let them see what kind of magical artifact the ring you got is.”
“Alright!” After replying with a message, Chen Fan lifted his head, his eyes cold as ice.
He had been wearing the ring all along.
When he first got the ring, he suspected that it was a magical treasure or the storage ring mentioned in novels.
But after examining it, he found nothing valuable except for the feeling that it was a bit weird.
Recently, many things had happened, so he had almost forgotten about the ring.
Nightmare Hall came to kill him in the main city just for a ring?
This mysterious organization was indeed a nightmare, hard to shake off once they latched on.
But it seemed a bit off…
The incident at Mount Wanshou had been suppressed by the City Lord’s Mansion.
To protect Chen Fan, the City Lord’s Mansion distorted the truth and claimed that the master Yun Canghai arrived to kill the Nightmare Hall’s strongman and saved Zhen Qing and Chen Fan’s trio.
Except for Chu Xuan and Shen Hongxiu, no one else knew that Chen Fan had killed someone from Nightmare Hall on Mount Wanshou… As for the ring, not even Yun Canghai knew about it.
At the time, only Ye Hao and Zhen Qing had seen it.
So, how did Nightmare Hall know that the ring was in his possession?
What kind of organization was this damn Nightmare Hall, after all?
