Chapter 109: Accident, Powerful Cao Xing! (5000)

Chapter 109: Accident, Powerful Cao Xing! (5000)

Old Mel nodded.

Then he closed the door and headed toward the center of the village with Elisa.

Along the way, the villagers would warmly greet Old Mel whenever they saw him.

Upon hearing that Old Mel was going to leave with Cao Xing, surprise flashed in the eyes of those villagers…

"Oh! Mr. Mel, are you leaving Hoge Village to live somewhere else?"

"What a pity… Both of my children grew up drinking the milk from your family."

"Yeah, the other two guys who raise cows in the village set their milk prices way too high… If Mr. Mel leaves, where am I going to buy cheap and fresh milk?"

The villagers wore worried expressions.

Soon, he was surrounded by a group of women.

It was clear that Old Mel held a lot of prestige.

He also kept a peaceful smile on his face, bidding farewell to every villager he knew.

And when the villagers heard that Old Mel was leaving with Cao Xing, envy appeared on many of their faces.

"I'm so envious of Mr. Mel for being chosen by such a powerful lord!"

"Yeah, with such powerful knights as subordinates, his territory must be extremely safe."

"I also want to be favored by this lord…"

…

Cao Xing chuckled and said, "Elisa, your father seems very popular among the women in the village!"

Elisa also showed her little fangs and smiled, "Of course. My father is very friendly to all the villagers and neighbors. In the entire Hoge Village, aside from the village chief, my father has the second highest prestige!"

Cao Xing shook his head. "Your father will be catching up with these women for a while. Let's head out first and wait for him at the village chief's house."

Everyone followed Cao Xing and walked forward.

Just as they passed the tavern from earlier, Cao Xing suddenly frowned.

That feeling of being watched appeared once again.

He looked around and asked in puzzlement, "What on earth is it?"

At that very instant, Cao Xing suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

On the roof of a nearby building, three dark figures silently appeared.

Their movements were extremely decisive and swift.

The moment they saw Cao Xing, the three hidden weapons in their hands were thrown out.

The speed was unimaginably fast!

In this instant, Cao Xing only felt an immense sense of crisis instantly enshroud him.

Time became incomparably slow.

He saw three green-glowing daggers magnifying within his pupils.

Meanwhile, Sarah, transformed into a dark shadow, rushed over immediately with a look of shock and anger on her face.

Just as the daggers were about to touch Cao Xing's face, a layer of golden shield suddenly activated.

"Crack!"

Along with the sound of a layer shattering.

The layer of Holy Shield on Cao Xing's body shattered accordingly, but he did not suffer any damage.

Immediately following that, the other two daggers also flew over.

"Crack! Crack!"

The three layers of Holy Shield on Cao Xing's body were all shattered!

Not only that, but the three assassins threw two more daggers once again.

This was meant to completely finish off Cao Xing in one go!

At the same time, Sarah's figure flashed past swiftly.

The Shadow Blade in her hand slashed down fiercely.

"Clang! Clang!"

After two crisp sounds, Sarah blocked the other two flying daggers.

The first wave of crisis was averted, and Cao Xing broke out in a cold sweat all over.

This layer of Holy Shield could be said to have saved his life!

Although he didn't know what kind of strength the assassins attacking him possessed, judging from that fierce attack, it must be terrifying!

At the same time, Assam and Lenis reacted in an instant.

"Dammit! Someone is attacking the lord!"

"Unforgivable!"

Assam and Lenis were extremely furious, drawing their weapons immediately and arriving by Cao Xing's side.

Those assassins seemed to know their actions had been exposed.

They swept down directly from the roof and charged toward Cao Xing with lightning speed.

Three daggers flashing with cold light swiftly rushed toward Cao Xing and the others.

Not only that.

Cao Xing also saw several Hunters wearing red vortex masks and holding long sabers and swords rapidly drilling out from behind the houses on both sides!

At this moment, Cao Xing finally understood the identity of the assassins.

"It turns out to be these guys!"

At this moment, those three assassins had already rushed up.

Meanwhile, Sarah, with murderous intent on her face, said in a cold voice, "Vile bugs, how dare you offend the lord! I will cut off your heads!"

Sarah dashed out instantly.

Boosted by [Queens Will], her movement speed could be said to be terrifyingly fast, completely surpassing these three assassins.

At this instant, the Shadow Blade made contact with the three daggers.

Clang! Clang clang!

After three metallic clashing sounds, those three dark figures instantly blasted backward!

Their eyes carried looks of shock.

"Such a strong assassin!"

"Didn't they say this person only had a Tier 2 boss-class knight by his side?"

"Dammit! The intelligence is wrong!"

At the same time, Sarah had already pounced over like a tigress, her fierce movements seemingly wanting to tear these three assassins into pieces.

These assassins were completely suppressed by Sarah with no power to fight back.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing gradually breathed a sigh of relief. "Damn it, I almost pissed my pants from fear!"

"Good thing I had the Holy Shield on me."

At this time, Liu Muxue also raised her shield, concentrating with 120 percent attention to guard by Cao Xing's side.

The assassination just now had frightened her as well.

In fact, with Cao Xing's current health points and full set of buffs, even if Sarah hadn't appeared, he probably could have barely blocked the remaining two attacks.

However, by that time he would have fallen into a very dangerous situation.

At the same time.

Cao Xing glanced at the Hunters rushing over from both sides of the street.

They were all Level 10+ Tier 2 ordinary powerhouses. Although there were many of them, they were nothing to be feared.

Thus, Cao Xing directly gave the order: "Assam, kill them all."

Assam directly raised his longsword high, and terrifying sword qi condensed.

"In the name of justice, purge everything!"

"Slash!"

Swish! Swish swish swish!

Dense damage numbers floated up.

These crazy cultists were instantly swept flying in large numbers, crashing down the residential houses on both sides of the street.

Rumble!

Those Hunters who were swept flying exclaimed immediately, "Such a strong knight!"

"Hold him down, and send some more people to hold down the archer beside him."

"The target is that otherworldly lord, everyone kill him together!"

The goal of these Hunters was very clear: stall the recruited creatures around Cao Xing, and then execute a decapitation strike against him!

Cao Xing frowned.

What he didn't quite understand was why these Hunters had targeted him, and they even seemed to recognize him.

You must know that even though he had wrecked two Hunter camps earlier and made enemies with these cultists, his actions had been very clean.

He basically cut weeds and eliminated the roots, leaving no future troubles behind.

So it was impossible for these Hunters to have targeted him this quickly.

And very soon, Cao Xing knew how he had been exposed.

These dozen or so Hunters were fully suppressed by Assam and Lenis, with no way to approach Cao Xing at all.

One of the Hunters shouted loudly, "We need support, everyone come out!"

The next moment, another dozen or so Hunters emerged from the houses on both sides.

Not only that, a large group of Survivors with names over their heads also rushed out rapidly from the tavern earlier.

"Kill him! This kid is Cao Xing, the person Boss Fang Long wants to kill!"

"Kid, how dare you offend our Three Heroes Association, you're dead for sure this time!"

At the same time, besides this group of Survivors, they also brought over a dozen recruited creatures in total.

At this moment, together with that group of Hunters, at least seventy or eighty people besieged Cao Xing simultaneously.

A look of sudden realization appeared in Cao Xing's eyes; he finally understood who wanted to assassinate him.

Three Heroes Association!

These guys had actually found his coordinates and specifically waited here to ambush him.

However, what Cao Xing didn't expect was that they could actually ally with the Hunters to deal with him.

The sudden scene not only made Cao Xing feel puzzled, but even the villagers and militia of Hoge Village fled the battlefield frantically one by one, not daring to get close at all.

Dozens of Survivors charged toward Cao Xing in a mighty wave.

There were men, women, old, and young.

It seemed they had gathered all members of the Three Heroes Association in this area, along with their families.

A Survivor whose name displayed as Wang Yachuan overhead laughed triumphantly.

"Hahaha! Kid, today you finally fell into our hands, didn't you? This time, let's see how you run!"

"This is the consequence of offending our Three Heroes Association!"

Meanwhile, Cao Xing merely glanced at him indifferently and said with a gaze looking at a fool,

"You guys wouldn't happen to think that relying on a bunch of Tier 3 or Tier 4 small fry can deal with me, would you?"

"Come on, this is another world. Fights aren't won just by having more people."

That Wang Yachuan was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Who says having more people is useless? With so many of us, a single attack from each person can drown you, and instantly kill your recruited creatures together."

"All ranged attacks, throw them all over to me and finish him off!"

The Survivors of the Three Heroes Association gathered their attacks one after another.

Cao Xing casually raised a staff.

The next moment, an ice wall appeared in front of him.

The ranged attacks from those Survivors struck with a crackling sound.

However, Cao Xing's mental power had already exceeded 100, and the durability of this ice wall reached a whopping 1040!

[-7]

[-14]

[-8]

[-11]

Densely packed attacks rained down, splashing up a bunch of single-digit and even teens of damage.

The Survivors' wave of concentrated fire only knocked away half of Cao Xing's ice wall durability.

Seeing this scene, the group of Survivors immediately felt their hearts sink.

Wang Yachuan ordered, "Damn it, such a thick ice wall. Let the recruited creatures attack together!"

As the words fell, those imperial soldiers and mage apprentices they summoned successively condensed various attacks and struck toward Cao Xing.

"Crack!"

The ice wall shattered.

The attacks from these recruited creatures were much higher.

A look of wild joy appeared in the eyes of the Three Heroes Association Survivors.

"Hahaha! The ice wall is shattered, isn't it!"

"Brat, let's see how you're going to block our attacks!"

"Together, kill him!"

In an instant, dozens of Survivors surged toward Cao Xing.

At this moment, Lenis and Assam were both pinned down by a large number of Hunters.

Meanwhile, Sarah was fighting three powerful assassins single-handedly.

Seeing this scene, Sarah and Assam, the two recruited creatures with full 100 loyalty, instantly let out an angry shout.

"Don't even think about harming the Lord!"

They directly abandoned the enemies in front of them, braving the cost of taking attacks, and frantically charged toward Cao Xing's side.

Damage numbers popped up above the heads of the two one by one.

However, seeing this scene, Cao Xing waved his hand and said, "You guys focus on handling your opponents in front of you. I can handle things here."

Hearing this, Assam and Sarah still wanted to continue rushing over.

But Cao Xing said, "This is an order!"

The two heard the seriousness and confidence in Cao Xing's words.

Then they turned around without hesitation and engaged in combat with their respective opponents.

At this moment, Cao Xing raised his staff once again.

While he was chanting his magic, Liu Muxue raised her shield and blocked in front of him.

Bang! Bang bang bang!

[-11]

[-15]

[-8]

[-17]

Streams of magical attacks and arrows struck Liu Muxue's shield. After the three layers of golden Holy Shields shattered, pieces of damage were stirred up.

This wave of concentrated fire knocked away roughly two hundred points of Liu Muxue's health, nearly one-sixth of her HP.

The next moment, a recovery number of +83 appeared above Liu Muxue's head, and her health rose back up once again.

Seeing this scene, that group of Three Heroes Association Survivors was suddenly startled.

"Damn! This woman has such high defense! My mage subordinates actually only dealt this little attack!"

"My imperial archers too. Her armor is simply too high."

"Stop talking nonsense, keep chipping away at her health!"

At this time, the benefit of having an Aurora Knight guarding by Cao Xing's side became apparent.

After a bunch of buffs and her equipment bonuses, Liu Muxue's armor already far exceeded these Level 3 to Level 5 Survivors.

It was hard for them to break through Liu Muxue's defense and harm Cao Xing in the back.

Right at this moment, the Three Heroes Association Survivors ordered, "Charge up together, we'll pile on this Cao Xing and kill him."

"He's just a mage; once he's surrounded by us, it's over!"

The next moment, that swarming group of Three Heroes Association Survivors charged over.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing's magic was also ready.

Looking at this group of Survivors, Cao Xing chuckled, "Who still relies on having more people to fight nowadays?"

"My lord, the times have changed!"

"Now is the era of magic!"

A cluster of ice arrow rain emanating a chill appeared.

Not only that, this attack also triggered the magic robe's [Shadow of the Snow Mountain] special effect.

The ice arrow rain directly split into two.

Swish swish!

Densely packed ice arrows rained down.

[-247]

[-258]

[-334]

[-271]

Cao Xing was a Tier 2 mage. Coupled with his full set of equipment and buffs, it could be said to be a crushing blow to these Survivors.

Densely packed damage numbers floated up, and instantly, a few Level 3 or 4 humans had their lives taken away by Cao Xing.

System prompts appeared.

[Killed Survivor: Ganzhiyong lv4]

[Killed Survivor: Lu Yanrong lv3]

[Killed Survivor…]

On the ground, there suddenly appeared seven or eight corpses pierced through by ice arrows.

Seeing this scene, the Three Heroes Association Survivors suddenly felt a chill rising straight up their backs.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

"Do not enter his attack range! Retreat quickly!"

Cao Xing's two clusters of ice arrow rain completely sealed off the street.

Puff! Puff puff!

After a few flesh-ripping sounds,

a few more unlucky bastards who didn't manage to evacuate in time had their bodies pierced right on the spot, dead as dead could be.

"Hiss!!!"

This scene made the Three Heroes Association Survivors feel cold air rising.

"Damn! This kid has such high attack power, he has already advanced!"

That Three Heroes Association commander said again,

"Don't confront him head-on. Go a few people and flank around to attack him!"

Receiving his command, the Survivors quickly dispersed, preparing to surround and attack Cao Xing from all directions.

Liu Muxue raised her shield with a serious expression. She was already prepared to fight these guys to the death.

Soon, more than twenty figures appeared around Cao Xing, surrounding him tightly!

That Wang Yachuan also circled behind Cao Xing, his eyes carrying a look of lingering fear: "As expected of the number one on the rankings, such strong attack power."

"However, it's already over!"

"Your recruited creatures have all been pinned down by us, and you have no other helpers. Relying on you and this woman, you can never be our opponents!"

Cao Xing glanced toward the entrance of the village, where a sprinting figure was rapidly rushing over.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Who says I don't have other helpers?"

Hearing this, Wang Yachuan's expression changed slightly. Instinctively realizing something was wrong, he quickly gave an order.

"Hurry up! Take this kid down first!"

Right at this moment, Cao Xing shouted loudly,

"Dabai! Come quickly and save me!"

As Cao Xing's words fell, a deafening sound suddenly rang out from the village entrance!

"Moo—"

The terrifying sound wave echoed in everyone's ears like something substantive.

"Thump! Thump thump!"

It was as if some behemoth was charging over at extreme speed!

That group of Survivors raised their heads in shock and looked toward the village entrance.

The next moment, a Mammoth, followed by a Frost Wolf behind it, and a female with a spider's lower body and a human torso strikingly appeared.

At the very first moment he was surrounded and attacked, Cao Xing had sent a message through the connection between pet and master.

And Dabai also rushed out of the shed at the very first moment.

Including Hilda and the Frost Wolf, after seeing Dabai rush out, they also realized that some accident might have happened in the village.

Thus, they rushed over together along with it.

Across a hundred meters, Dabai saw at a glance the guys who were surrounding and attacking Cao Xing. Its pupils instantly dilated, and its fury burned ragingly.

"Moo!!!"

Dabai directly activated [Berserk Charge], and its already terrifying movement speed increased by another 200%!

Rumble!

The ground shook wildly, and the terrifying momentum made this group of Survivors nearly develop a feeling of being unable to resist.

"Damn it, what is that thing?"

"Quick, go a few people and block it!"

However, these Survivors, who were at most Level 4 or 5, wanted to go and intercept Dabai.

This was equivalent to a few porcelain dolls wanting to intercept a mud-dump truck!

At the very instant of contact, an unimaginable huge force emerged.

Bang! Bang bang bang!

The few Survivors who rushed over only felt the bones throughout their entire bodies being shattered in an instant!

Then they directly flew backward.

Terrifying numbers also popped up above their heads.

[-1354]

[-1406]

[-1274]

The Survivors who flew out landed without any breath left.

They were directly killed instantly on the spot!

This scene made those Survivors present feel their scalps go numb and cold air rise straight up their backs!

"Damn it, didn't they say there was only one boss-tier knight by Cao Xing's side?"

"Where did this monster pop out from again?"

Strong fear already filled the eyes of the Three Heroes Association Survivors.

However, at this moment, Dabai had already begun a massive massacre!

Under the condition of 100 loyalty, Dabai even regarded Cao Xing's life as more important than its own.

And these guys actually swarmed Cao Xing while it wasn't around, which directly made Dabai feel incomparably furious!

"Moo—"

Dabai rushed out like a berserk behemoth!
