Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Too Strong!
The Guard Team’s strength was quite impressive; however, it was also essential to consider the number and power of the enemies!
These undead, as far as the eye could see, not one was weak!
There were even several at the Magic Master level among them.
Before the Civilization Trial had begun, these had been eligible to become members of The Sage’s Council!
By now, Siger was drenched in cold sweat, his expression extremely tense.
Noble education had taught him to remain calm at all times; he did not fear death, but the current situation was different. If an envoy from Human Civilization were to die here, the consequences would be unpredictable and might even deliver a further severe blow to an entire civilization already on the brink of danger.
That was a civilization capable of suppressing the undead!
“There’s no need to panic, envoys. We will certainly protect your safety,” said Siger, who had already drawn his weapon and turned to speak to Shen Qian and the others.
However, he saw not a hint of panic or fear in Shen Qian and the others.
Even though the undead were continuously emerging, still!
“Mr. Siger, may we defend ourselves if necessary?” Shen Qian even asked calmly.
“Please trust in our strength, we will not let the undead threaten you,” Siger said again, but then paused briefly before adding slowly, “Of course, if you feel threatened, you are welcome to take any action. We will not impose any restrictions on our guests from afar.”

When Siger said these last words, it was clear he had made up his mind.
In fact, in the past, when foreign species came to the land of the Sky Spirit People, they were not allowed to use force.
Even if the target of that force was the civilian population.
But obviously, it was different now.
Siger had already sensed something from the calm responses of the envoys.
Especially now, as Yang Jun and Liu Ruoxi were beginning to show some of their aura, it became clear to Siger that both were strong, very powerful indeed!
However, he still hoped it wouldn’t come to that. If the envoys were forced to take action themselves, it would inevitably bring shame upon the Sky Spirit Clan, no matter what.
Yet, in just a moment, the undead had already gathered nearly a thousand in number!
Seemingly sensing the imminent reinforcements, these undead no longer intended to wait and lunged violently at the envoy’s Magic Flying Car!
Each one exuded a bone-chilling coldness, and Cold Frost quickly formed on the ground and the buildings, with their roaring even seeming to shake the soul!
The members of the Guard Team were indeed excellent warriors. Even in such a situation, they remained calm and their roles were clear.
Out of over twenty of them, five held Scepters high up, which quickly burst into Magic Halos, enveloping the Magic Flying Car in a complete Magic Barrier. Moreover, the barrier emitted an intensely hot aura, clearly having a certain restraining effect on the undead.
Looking at the others, their movements were simple and uniform.
They continuously fired bursts of Magic Halos from their Magic Wands, hitting the undead with precision.
Although it seemed far less powerful than Song Cheng’s Magic Missiles, each hit attack managed to annihilate an undead.
And it appeared there was not much waste of magic power.
Clearly, this was also a highly efficient, simple, and very effective specialized magic against the undead.
“They indeed have been fighting the undead for a long time and have accumulated considerable experience,” a similar thought crossed the minds of Yang Jun and others.
Unlike Human Civilization, in the beginning, Yang Jun and his companions had been running around, continuously slaying the undead summoned by the Ghost King, but since the appearance of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, such tasks were primarily the responsibility of those “specially hired combat personnel.” Thus, in reality, Yang Jun and his companions had not had much experience fighting high-level undead.
The next moment, a chilling aura burst forth instantly, striking a guard directly.
He couldn’t even scream before he was instantaneously turned into a lifeless ice sculpture.
“It’s an Undead Mage!”
Siger, already highly tense, now looked even more distressed.
Some undead, after regaining their consciousness, were capable of using magic just as effectively, and the power of these magics was immense, more importantly, these Undead Mages were likely Magic Masters—
That is, recognized by the Civilization Trial as Level 11 and above!
The next moment, more attacks came from all directions; even though the Guard Team had put up protective barriers and even started to move to dodge, they still couldn’t withstand these immensely powerful and exceedingly fast magical attacks!
There was more than one Undead Mage!
At this moment, Siger felt somewhat desperate.
Although they knew that the undead calamities in various places were rapidly worsening, they hadn’t known before now that so many Undead Mages had infiltrated Ogen City!
Now, the time had come to pay the price!
Until an attack passed right through the Magic Barrier and struck Yang Jun with precision.
In that moment, Siger’s heart almost seemed to stop beating!
However, he soon discovered that Yang Jun was completely unharmed. A flash of golden light easily blocked an attack that could have killed any member of the Guard Team!
“Mr. Siger, as you can see, we have been attacked,” Shen Qian said calmly, “According to your previous explanation, we now recognize ourselves as threatened and are about to launch a counter-offensive, which we have now communicated to you.”
“Yes, yes,” Siger stared blankly at Yang Jun, not knowing whether it was shock or mere luck, but his body was completely drenched in sweat.
The next moment, those who had gained permission stood up.
Golden Light surged around Yang Jun, and in an instant, it enveloped everyone, including those guards!
Some guards had even been directly hit by the increasingly dense Undead Magic, but they, who should have died, were startled to realize that all these attacks had been blocked by the Golden Light flashing over them.
The next instant, Liu Ruoxi gripped the handle of her sword, her figure blurred for a moment, then solidified again!
Unknown when she had gripped it, the long sword was slowly being retracted.
Then, Siger and others, belatedly realizing, turned their heads stiffly to see each powerful Undead Mage dissolving one by one!
Even the final wails before death were not uttered!
Siger’s lips trembled slightly, feeling his thoughts stiffening.
What exactly had happened at that moment?
However, regardless, at this time the remaining members of the team acted, merely four cultivators in the midst of the group. They raised their hands, and pitch-black flags imbued with a cold aura flew out, casting chains of black mist that bounded each of the undead, dragging them directly toward the flags!
Wailing, screaming, scrambling…
These Undead, having developed self-consciousness, could not escape from the flags no matter what and were forcibly dragged into them one by one.
From Yang Jun’s initial action to the battlefield being cleared, not even a minute had passed, and over a thousand undead had vanished without a trace!
Too strong!
This kind of power, this level of proficiency.
At this moment, Siger had started to believe that this Human Civilization truly had the capability to completely solve the problem of the Undead!
You see, these were more than a thousand undead, each having an average strength of Level 8 to 9, and there were even over a dozen undead mages at least at Level 11!
This kind of power was already sufficient to stir up a minor undead disaster within a city, kill tens of thousands of people, and then escape easily!
“Gentlemen…” Siger was about to say something when a loud voice suddenly came from a distance.
“Distinguished guests from afar, your strength is astonishing!” A man with emerald green hair, handsome in appearance, clad in War Armor, and a Sky Spirit, was flying from a distance, followed by a large group of well-organized, fully armed magicians.
“Lord City Lord,” Siger immediately bowed respectfully, “It is my negligence…”
“Your negligence, we will discuss that later,” The City Lord interrupted Siger, then turned to bow to Shen Qian and the others, “I am the City Lord of Ogen, Ke Yi. This escort mission has indeed been our fault, reaching the point where we had to let our guests take action personally. I am here to personally express my apologies.”
Ke Yi, upon receiving the message, had immediately rushed here from another battlefield.
Frankly speaking, he was even somewhat dissatisfied when he received this reception task.
Especially since The Sage’s Council had indicated that this Human Civilization possessed an extremely powerful individual, possibly the top-ranked among the Chosen Ones.
Such a civilization, with all power and status centralized in the hands of one person, could only be particularly troublesome.
However, the mission of The Sage’s Council is absolute.
And upon hearing of the diplomatic mission being attacked by a large scale of powerful undead, Ogen had felt somewhat desperate, even preparing himself for death to atone.
The present Sky Spirit Clan indeed could hardly bear any external threats.
But—
The strength of this delegation indeed far surpassed his comprehension.
Although he had yet to arrive earlier, Ke Yi had already seen their efficient, precise battling from afar.
Especially the first two who took action, very strong! Incredibly strong! Far stronger than him!
Even the Sages might not have the ability to instantly kill over a dozen undead mages in a moment!
The standing of Human Civilization had been rapidly rising in Ke Yi’s mind.
Being able to send such powerful individuals to the Trial means one thing—their war with the undead isn’t as bad as ours!
He should have set aside the affairs on the battlefield and come to receive them personally.
Ke Yi was somewhat regretful at this moment.
Shen Qian did not know Ke Yi’s thoughts, but also understood that their earlier actions had had a positive impact.
At this moment, he simply smiled and said, “Lord Ke Yi, you take it too seriously, in the face of the Civilization Trial, we should stand on the same front.”
“Indeed, gentlemen, please, the banquet is ready,” Ke Yi even slightly bowed.
