Chapter 727: Trap (2)

(Unedited)

…

Holstein Mills is walking ahead of his group as he directly approaches Shin Jiao. The temperament of Holstein Mills is calm and composed, meanwhile, those behind him are looking at Shin Jiao with loathing in their eyes.

"Hmm… Cronies of the Mills…" Shin Jiao thought but did not bother with the group and just walks to the back.

"Stop right there…" Holstein Mills said but did not look directly at Shin Jiao.

"Our fight is not yet finished. I will take my revenge. After this battle, I challenge you to another duel." Holstein Mills said with a lifted chin.

Shin Jiao did not stop but just shook his head then muttered.

"What a sore loser…"

Though his words are not loud, those around him could still hear what he said and gasping sounds could be heard all over the place.

One of the young men behind Holstein Mills was suddenly angered as he raises his finger and pointed at Shin Jiao.

"You insolent fool!" the man shouted as he took a step forward.

He looks at Holstein Mills but did not receive any answer. Since he was not stopped by the master, this only means that he could do what he wanted.

In his mind, he wanted to teach this bastard a lesson for offending his master. But of course, he is already on guard as he heard that this young fellow is a formidable opponent regardless of this power level.

So he suddenly activated his full strength and rushes towards Shin Jiao's back.

The strong pressure coming from the young man made everyone in his surrounding widen their eyes.

"Level… level 79!… What a powerful energy!…" someone exclaimed.

Everyone who was in the vicinity was also dumbfounded. As the guy approaches Shin Jiao's back, something happened.

Everyone saw the young man who is attacking suddenly tumbling down to the ground in a sorry manner. And before everyone's eyes, Shin Jiao suddenly lifted his feet in the air and with one powerful stump steps on the head that suddenly slid behind his feet.

Bam!

A hole on the ground was created as the young man's head sunk.

Silence surrounds the field and no one said anything and just watches the figure of Shin Jiao leaving. Those who saw him coming parted and made a path for him. Who would have expected that he could easily defeat a level 79 powerhouse without breaking a sweat?

Before the commotion would escalate, a group of town leaders suddenly arrives on a stage in the front of the field.

"Everyone, we will relay to you the plan. I hope that you follow it by the letter. Those that would cause disruption to the plan would pay dearly!" shouted a local lord of the town as he stood in the front of the group.

Everyone was silent and listen to the plan that the lords have made.

The plan is simple; a group is assigned to protect the four array master who will be blending with the army. And the other group will be responsible for fending off the incoming projectiles. Their target is the southern part of the barrier near the rocky grounds.

This is because this area is hard to defend and hard to attack. Plus it seems that the enemy is not familiar with the terrain in that part, so they would be able to make a small disruption hole secretly.

As the plan was relayed, everyone understood and prepares to depart.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao could feel extreme killing intent targeted towards him. He knew that those stares are coming from the group of Holstein Mills.

"I will take care of you later…" he thought as he walks with the group.

The army rushes out of the town and saw the direction they should be going. They also noticed the movement of the enemy outside the two opposing barriers.

Soon they arrive at the borders of the barrier of the town.

"From this way forward, we are going to exit the town's barrier protection. The danger would be really high, so I want everyone on their toes!" said the Lord who is in charge of creating the disruption hole.

With his command, the army suddenly moves out. A part of the army became a decoy and the others proceed with the plan, while Shin Jiao just go with the flow and follow the group.

Thousands of projectiles are sent flying towards them as soon as they were spotted by a group of patrolling enemies. Although they are able to defend, yet there would still be casualties in their force as they progress forward.

As soon as they arrive near the area, ten people suddenly separate from the large group. These ten people stealthily approach near the rocky spot where a corner of a glowing green barrier could be seen.

The leader of the group suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone.

As soon as the group stopped, they saw shadows moving which is hidden behind the boulders. Judging from the number of those shadows, they could immediately see that their group of ten is outnumbered by their enemies.

"Shit! This… this is a trap! How? How could they know that we would be…" the lord leading the group muttered.

Then from within the shadows, something comes flying towards the group.

Raising their defenses and shield they tried to block the object, but it just penetrated their energy shield like a hot knife cutting through butter.

The person that was hit by the projectile was sent flying and was skewered into a tree.

Arrgghh!!!

That person cried in pain as his body suddenly disappears. This only means that he died in that instant.

Everyone is not on guard, but then what happened next, made everyone shiver in fear.

Two meters tall red-skinned demons step out of the shadows. However, instead of the mindless and berserk demons, the beings in front of them seem to still be holding their own consciousness.

"Hihi… I knew that these ants would target this spot." said one of the demons that look like a giant female with four long arms and many spikes protruding from her back.

"Haha… we should finish this before anyone could see us." another giant said that has the same appearance as the female demon who first talked.

Soon, the remaining nine humans saw that they are surrounded by many demons that have the same appearance. This made them change their expression and despair could be seen in their eyes. They could see that the demons in front of them are far stronger than them by a whole level.

It's like there would be facing against many lords and in their group, there is only one lord, so how could they not feel scared?

"We… we should retreat." One of the men said as he slowly backs away.

However, he did not notice that a shadow is standing behind him. And with one swipe, the head of that young man was decapitated.

Then as everyone turns their attention, they saw the demon catching the head and then with one bite chew on it with relish.

The crunching sound of the bones made the seven men shiver in fear. Shin Jiao, on the other hand, feels a bit uncomfortable, but he is not worried. He is confident that he would be able to escape this area if he wanted to. However, he still needs to finish the job. This is neither to help the people from the town nor to defend it. His only concern is his shop. If the town falls, his research would be stopped again and he has to gather more materials, it would be troublesome.

But if he helps them stop this battle, then it would be worth it.

"Everyone, we have no choice but to go all out!" shouted the lord as he gritted his teeth.

Suddenly from within the group, two people took off their hoods and powerful auras permeated the air. Those two people suddenly showed the power of lords.

The remaining human fighters showed elation. At least now there are three lords that would be fighting against these demons.

Seeing the humans have a trump card, the demons were a bit taken aback, but one of them sneered.

"Haha… I want those four people…" the female demon accurately pointed at the four array masters.

This immediately baffled the group of humans. How the demons could know who the array masters are, is what comes to the minds of every person even to Shin Jiao.

Confusion and doubt were immediately inside everyone's heart. Though they did not want to say it, they knew that someone from the human could be a traitor. But the question is who?

As the group shows confusion in their expressions, they still formed a defensive stance as they are now surrounded by the large demons.

Then from the corner of their eyes, they saw a familiar figure. When the three lords say who that person is, they were all shocked and are unable to believe what they are seeing.

This is because they thought that person was sent to the fortress and back to his family. But who would have known that the person would be back? And worst, he seems to be aligning himself with the demons.

Shin Jiao on the other hand was also surprised upon seeing the person. He truly could not see how a human could betray his own kind and ally himself with the enemy at this time? In fact, he did not see this person to be as such when he first saw him. But it seems that his judgment is wrong this time.

As that figure walks towards the side of the female demon, he showed a faint grin on his face. But Shin Jiao could still see in the man's eyes a complex emotion.

Regret, anger, guilt, remorse, rage, and a bit of hesitation could be seen under his hood. Though he tried to cover his face, those who knew him could already recognize who he was.

When the man stood beside the female demon which seems to be the leader of this group, the female demon extended her rough hand and suddenly transformed into a dainty hand of a female.

The man lifted his head and removes his hood, and then he kissed the hand of the female elf.

The other who now recognizes him gasped in disbelief.
