Chapter 314: Cao Xing, the Drama King, Takes Them Out in One Wave! (6400)

In front of this group of villagers stood a white-robed priest wearing white robes and holding a staff.

He was reading aloud.

"In this cold hell, darkness follows us like a shadow, and fear and cold shroud us at every moment. The Church of Light is that holy beacon that disperses the darkness."

"Listen, devout believers! The God of Light overlooks this land with endless compassion. He grants us life and bestows upon us a mission. In this world filled with suffering and evil, only by firmly following the light can one find salvation…"

"…"

Below, under the constant reading of the white-robed priest, the gazes of the villagers grew increasingly fanatical!

Cao Xing narrowed his eyes. "As expected, there is a white-robed priest!"

"It seems this camp is quite strong. It should be able to grant me quite a few Honor Points, right?"

Camps of this size usually have one white-robed priest, plus a few black-robed priests.

Not to mention anything else, just taking out a white-robed priest alone would net at least a few hundred Honor Points.

At this moment, the brainwashing of the villagers below seemed to be reaching its end.

They were all kowtowing repeatedly toward the large statue in the center of the hall!

Just as Cao Xing was preparing to take action and wipe them all out in one fell swoop,

he suddenly saw another white-robed priest walk out from a passage in the distance.

Behind him followed several black-robed figures, carrying several boxes in their arms.

Seeing this, Cao Xing suppressed the urge to rush out immediately.

By now, the second white-robed priest to appear had already led four or five black-robed figures to the center of the hall.

Then, those black-robed priests opened the boxes, which were stacked with a large number of masks for ordinary Hunter members.

This white-robed priest said with a serious expression, "Every mask of our Church has been blessed with special power and bears the divine power personally imprinted by the God of Light. The quantity is limited."

"You must thank the Seed of Light. He is the spokesperson of the gods, and it is precisely he who secured these quotas for you."

"Put on the masks, and from now on, you will become one of us!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers below immediately kowtowed respectfully. "Thank you, great Seed of Light!"

"Thank you, merciful and great God of Light!"

Then, that white-robed priest gave a signal.

The other black-robed figures stepped forward one after another and handed out the masks in their hands.

Cao Xing narrowed his eyes.

"So that's how it is. The number of masks for the Church of Light is limited, is it?"

"No wonder these masks can be used to redeem Honor Points."

"Otherwise, that Seed of Light could have completely mass-produced a hundred thousand or eighty thousand masks to redeem all the rewards in the Honor Shop."

At this moment, those black-robed priests were handing out the masks one by one.

Cao Xing noticed that the moment those villagers below put on the masks, their identities changed from ordinary villagers to Hunters.

His heart stirred slightly.

After the other two white-robed priests met, they exchanged salutes and began to converse.

The white-robed priest holding the staff said, "Priest Heinz, thank you for making the special trip to deliver these masks to us."

The priest opposite him shook his head. "You are too polite, Priest Bokal. The Seed of Light knows the importance of this side of the Gale Snowfield."

"Therefore, operations in other regions have basically ceased, and most of the Church's forces are being concentrated in the territory of the Ice Crystal Kingdom."

"This time, the plan for Lake Doron City was very successful. Lord God of Light descended a sliver of divine power, allowing all existences above the rank of black-robed priest to receive a significant boost."

"The power of the Church is getting stronger and stronger!"

Hearing this, the white-robed priest holding the staff also smiled, his eyes filled with a fanatical look.

The white-robed priest opposite continued, "However, what comes next is the critical moment of the plan."

"Lake Doron City absolutely cannot afford to be lost. We need to transport more fresh blood there as soon as possible."

The white-robed priest with the staff asked curiously, "Priest Heinz, do you know what the next step of the Seed of Light's plan is?"

"It couldn't be that he really intends to rely on Lake Doron City to arm-wrestle with the Ice Crystal Kingdom, right?"

Meanwhile, Cao Xing, hearing what they were discussing, immediately pricked up his ears.

He was also very interested in the next step of the Church of Light's plan.

However, the white-robed priest with a long sword at his waist shook his head. "Actually, I don't know either. This is already the highest secret of the Church."

"Except for the Seed of Light, I'm afraid only existences at the level of Red-robed Bishop are qualified to know."

A look of realization appeared in the eyes of the priest with the staff.

Then, he changed the subject.

"Come to think of it, our Seed of Light is truly capable. He hasn't taken over the Church of Light for long, yet he has already made many big moves."

"This time, even the Ice Crystal Kingdom stumbled because of him."

But the white-robed priest opposite shook his head and said, "No, it is our God of Light who is truly capable."

"The Seed of Light has the power to communicate with the great God of Light. This series of plans was actually formulated by Lord God of Light."

"So that's how it is…"

The two white-robed priests below ended their conversation.

After Cao Xing could no longer hear any useful information, he scanned the attributes of these two priests.

[White-robed Priest: Bokal Adler lv46]

[Rank: Tier 5 Leader-level Creature]

[HP: 375215/375215]

[Attack Power: 5348~5481]

[Armor: 733~844]

[Skills: Expert-level Light Element Control, Sunlight Ray, Judgment Orb, Shield of Light, Avatar of Light (Attributes same as before)]

…

…

[White-robed Priest: Heinz Dill lv47]

[Rank: Tier 5 Leader-level Creature]

[HP: 421782/421782]

[Attack Power: 5571~5623]

[Armor: 892~971]

After reaching the maximum stack, it deals True Damage equal to Attack Power + Strength * 1.5 to the enemy.)]

[Talent: Weapon Affinity (When using melee weapons, the speed of learning skills increases by 10%)]

…

"Oh? Are they actually two Tier 5 Leaders? This is much stronger than the enemies I encountered at the last large camp."

Cao Xing narrowed his eyes.

However, he also understood the reason through the conversation just now.

"So that's it. The blood sacrifice at Lake Doron City last time allowed the high-level members of the Church of Light to receive a significant boost in strength."

For other Survivors, or even those original inhabitants, this might be a very uncomfortable thing.

But for Cao Xing, this was still a good thing.

Because Tier 4 Leaders can only drop High-level Heart of Strength.

But Tier 5 Leaders can drop Expert-level Heart of Strength!

By comparison, the gains from taking out a Tier 5 Leader are who knows how many times that of a Tier 4 Leader.

Cao Xing said with a smile on his lips, "The enemy is growing, and I am growing too!"

"Now, let's see who grows faster!"

Thinking of this, fighting spirit also ignited in Cao Xing's heart.

He lowered his voice and said, "Listen to my orders in a moment. I will gather all the Hunters in the center of that hall together."

"Then, all of you release your area-of-effect skills and hit them with everything you've got."

"Assam, Sarah, Braum, "Bo Jie, Sun Chaser", all of you sneak down there now."

"After our operation begins, go and deal with the Hunters on the side of the hall."

Everyone nodded one after another and then began to take action.

The next moment, Cao Xing took a black square box directly from his backpack.

This thing was naturally the [Ancient Weapon: Primitive Cube].

Especially when dealing with a large number of enemies, it is particularly useful!

As Cao Xing's mind moved.

In the spacious hall below, a black dot instantly appeared in the area where the crowd was most dense!

Then, this black dot suddenly erupted with infinite suction force.

"Whoosh—"

Instantly, a terrifying suction force appeared!

In the area within a hundred meters, at least over a hundred Hunters, including those ten priests, had their bodies fly backward directly as if they were out of control.

Before those ordinary Hunters could even react, they found themselves slamming heavily into others.

"Puff! Puff, puff!"

Sounds of flesh impacting one another rang out!

The sight of over a hundred people gathered at a single point was visually shocking just to look at!

And these two white-robed figures were worthy of being Tier 5 Leader-level creatures.

When they felt the suction force appear, they realized that they had encountered an attack!

They immediately shouted, "Everyone, be on alert! Enemies have broken in!"

"Heinz, let's rush out together!"

"Alright!"

The two white-robed priests exerted force suddenly, attempting to resist that terrifying suction force!

The two jumped up violently, then instantly rushed out more than thirty meters away.

However, the suction range of the Primitive Cube is one hundred meters!

They hadn't jumped far before they were dragged back by that terrifying suction force again!

Even Tier 5 Leader-level creatures could not resist it!

Seeing this, Cao Xing laughed out loud.

And this also gave him a reminder.

The suction force of the Primitive Cube is not absolute.

Some powerful enemies can instantly jump out of the gravitational range and break free from the restraint.

However, although it has this flaw, it is enough to deal with these Tier 5 existences!

Cao Xing quickly ordered, "Assam, use Fury of the Lake."

"Francesca, use Witch's Domain."

"Everyone else, attack with all your might!"

The moment Cao Xing finished speaking, Francesca flew up like a swallow.

She went directly above the heads of that group of enemies.

The two black-robed priests below naturally saw Francesca's figure at a glance.

They immediately exclaimed.

"The enemy is right above! She has a very strong aura of darkness on her; she doesn't look like a human!"

"Damn it, she is going to attack us."

"Bokal, quickly use Shield of Light!"

And at this moment.

Francesca in the air erupted with endless forest spiritual energy from within her body.

Under the shroud of the Disguise power, it turned into dark power.

The next moment, an invisible shockwave swept across!

"Hum!"

[Your territory member: Francesca used [Witch's Domain], all enemies' skills are forced into cooldown, our side's skill cooldown time is halved…]

…

This skill is very overpowered.

For existences like Cao Xing and his group who rely on various skills to make a living, being swept by this skill is even more uncomfortable than being killed.

Last time in the ancient castle, they had already experienced the power of this move.

Just like now, the white-robed priest raised his staff and was just about to release [Shield of Light] when he suddenly found that all his skills had turned black!

He couldn't even mobilize his magic power.

He felt as uncomfortable as if he were constipated.

The white-robed priest holding the sword beside him asked in confusion, "Bokal, what are you doing?"

"Damn it! I… I can't cast any magic!"

Hearing this, the sword-wielding priest froze for a moment. He had just wanted to activate a skill, only to discover that he, too, was unable to channel the power within his body.

"Damn it… me too. What kind of bizarre trick is this?"

While they were suffering, Cao Xing and his side were certainly not.

At this moment, everyone jumped out.

Cao Xing immediately raised his staff and unleashed an area-of-effect spell, aiming it at the spot where over a hundred Hunters had gathered, forming what was almost a giant ball of flesh.

Suddenly, a massive hexagram magic circle appeared, spewing out intense frigid air.

It was exactly [Extreme Ice Bloom].

The terrifying cold instantly reduced their mobility significantly.

Not only that, but pillars of ice also shot out from within the hexagram magic circle.

"Pfft! Pfft, pfft!"

The ice pillars pierced through their bodies.

In an instant, a flurry of damage numbers soared up.

At the same time, three massive ice blocks, each over ten meters in diameter, appeared above the ball of flesh.

These ice blocks slammed down, triggering explosive damage.

"Boom! Rumble!"

Another massive wave of damage sprayed up!

It was exactly Cao Xing's newly learned skill—Iceberg Fall!

Besides that, there was Victoria St. Cruz's [Energy Gathering Nen Wave], Hilda's Blood Poison, Isabelle's Holy Light Strike, and Blot Brimstone's [Black Smoke Storm]…

In short, at this moment, everyone unleashed all their area-of-effect skills at once.

That area instantly erupted with dense clusters of damage numbers!

[-5439] [-3382] [-6821] [-5901] [-4923] [-4521] …

In just the first second of everyone's burst, Cao Xing heard a flood of kill notifications!

[Your territory member: Blot Brimstone killed Hunter Lv21, Tier 3 Common Creature, gained experience points: 0]

[Combat personnel gained experience points: 315]

[Your…]

…

The experience bars of his subordinates were skyrocketing at a terrifying speed!

In the blink of an eye, they broke through the experience bar's limit.

White lights rose one after another.

[Your territory member: Victoria St. Cruz has leveled up, current level: 40]

[Your territory member: Bo Jie, Sun Chaser has leveled up, current level: 29]

[Your territory member: Andrew has leveled up, current level: 43…]

[Your…]

…

Seeing the system notifications, a smirk curled onto Cao Xing's lips!

I have to say, this feeling of gathering monsters together and killing them in one wave is truly satisfying!

And even more terrifyingly, after those Hunters were taken out by Cao Xing and his team, their corpses were still gathered together by this terrifying suction force.

Blood kept flowing out from their bodies.

That pile of flesh had turned from its original gray color to a blood-red hue.

The clothes on the two white-robed priests below were also soaked in blood!

They were furious.

However, no matter how angry they were, with their skills sealed and no way to escape, they could only suffer the beating in place, feeling stifled.

"Damn it! Where did this group of experts pop out from?"

"These guys have such bizarre methods!"

"Stop now, or you will surely suffer the wrath of our Church of Light!"

However, Cao Xing was having too much fun killing to care about these guys' threats!

You have to realize, [Primal Cube] has a full 10 seconds of control time, and less than four seconds had passed so far.

"Bang! Bang, bang!"

Various skills continued to rain down on them.

Soon, the black-robed priests inside couldn't hold on either.

One by one, they let out screams and died on the spot.

There were other Hunters in this hall, and there were quite a few of them.

Scattered in various corners, there were about seventy or eighty of them.

They had just wanted to go over to provide support.

But just at this moment, an existence wielding a black longsword and wearing black armor, looking like a demon knight, rushed out.

There was also a burly man wielding a giant axe, and another holding a shield, who rushed out together.

These cultists exclaimed in shock.

"There are enemies here too!"

"Forget them, hurry and save the High Priests!"

As they were about to head over, Assam raised his longsword directly.

"Endless Water, condense into spirits!"

In an instant, over two hundred Tier 5 Elite-level Water Elementals appeared!

These Water Elementals were generally humanoid in outline, without a fixed body structure, and their entire bodies were composed of flowing water.

Then, these Water Elementals simultaneously raised their heads and spat out water arrows from their mouths!

"Pfft! Pfft, pfft, pfft!"

Over two hundred water arrows erupted instantly!

These Water Elementals possessed Tier 4 Elite-level strength, and with this burst, they dealt impressive damage.

[-2132] [-2031] [-1982] [-2042] [-2192] …

A dense flurry of damage numbers soared up.

In the blink of an eye, over a dozen Hunters were focused down and killed instantly.

Nearby, melee fighters like Sarah and Bjorn were slaughtering the Hunters, making them afraid to even approach.

Therefore, the two white-robed priests in the center of the hall could only be held tightly by the terrifying suction force.

Unable to cast skills, they suffered the beating in place, feeling stifled.

This was a lopsided, crushing battle.

When the ten-second control time ended.

The black sphere in that area vanished.

And in that spot, over a hundred mangled corpses had gathered.

Whether they were those ordinary Hunters, Elite Hunters, or even the boss-level black-robed priests.

Under their wave of focused fire, all of them were dead beyond dead.

Only the last two Tier 5 white-robed priests remained standing in place.

However, despite this, they were not doing well.

Their bodies were covered in severe injuries, soaked in blood, and their white robes had been dyed into red robes.

Cao Xing glanced over.

He discovered that the HP of these two white-robed priests had already dropped below 50,000.

In other words, in that last wave of area-of-effect attacks, each of them had received at least over 300,000 damage from Cao Xing and the others.

The two white-robed priests were heavily injured, their tones filled with anger.

"Who exactly are you?"

"I can sense an evil aura from you!"

"Lord God of Light will surely bring down judgment upon you!"

Cao Xing snorted coldly, "A lowly God of Light, worthy of judging me?"

After saying this, he directly entered the [Demon Transformation] state!

When these two white-robed priests saw the wings behind Cao Xing, and the demonic power on his body that had almost condensed into substance, they immediately exclaimed.

"Damn it! So you are a demon, and these guys are your demon slaves!"

"Our Church of Light has always kept to ourselves and never interfered with you demons. Why are you leading your demon slaves to deal with us?"

Cao Xing said disdainfully, "I deal with whoever I want to deal with, do I need a reason?"

Hearing this, the two white-robed priests below seemed to remember something!

"Recently in the Gale Snowfield region, experts from our Church of Light have often been killed, and even camps have been destroyed."

"I understand now, it was you damned demons who have been targeting our Church of Light in the Gale Snowfield all along!"

"Aren't you afraid that the God of Light will punish you for your actions?"

Cao Xing snorted coldly, "Just a false god who has lost its divinity. The Ice Crystal Kingdom has long been viewed as ours by our Demon Clan, yet you dare to lay a finger on it!"

"When our Demon Lord descends, what can even the God of Light do?"

He was also playing the part, directly shifting the blame onto the Demon Clan.

It just so happened that the last time he disguised himself as a demon, he had obtained quite a bit of intelligence.

Upon hearing this, the two white-robed priests' pupils immediately constricted!

They seemed to have heard a great secret!

The Demon Lord was going to descend, and it had also set its sights on the Ice Crystal Kingdom!

The two looked at each other.

The white-robed priest holding the staff suddenly stood up, and a divine light struck the other white-robed priest.

"Go quickly, you must take this news out and tell the Seed of Light!"

And this sword-wielding white-robed priest suddenly seemed to be experiencing a final burst of life, erupting with powerful strength!

He dashed dozens of meters in one step, sprinting rapidly towards the passageway area!

Seeing this, Cao Xing had a cold sneer on his lips.

"A lowly existence, wanting to escape from my hands?"

The next moment, he stomped his foot on the ground!

Instantly, a wave of black demonic power spread out.

Then, a large number of black demonic claws appeared, grabbing the ankles and knees of these two white-robed priests.

Dragging them firmly in place.

"Damn it!"

"No! I must tell the Seed of Light this news!"

The white-robed priest holding the longsword had an anxious look in his eyes.

However, no matter how he struggled, he could not break free from the demonic hands at his feet.

And at this moment.

The second wave of focused fire from everyone had arrived!

"Whoosh!"

A large number of attacks, carrying demonic power, rained down.

The HP of the two white-robed priests drained away like water again.

Seeing that they were about to die.

The white-robed priest holding the staff had intense unwillingness in his eyes!

He directly cast a light magic spell into the air.

"Bang!"

A ball of light exploded above everyone's heads, then vanished without a trace.

At the same time.

Renice shot an arrow.

"Pfft!"

[-21832!]

The [Distinguished Hunter] effect triggered, dealing terrifying damage!

On the other side, the other white-robed priest was also shot in the head by Elisa.

Two kill notifications appeared.

[Your territory member: Renice Eagle Eye killed White-robed Priest: Bocar Adler, Tier 5 Boss-level Creature, gained experience points: 23000]

[Combat personnel gained experience points: 11500]

[You gained Honor Points: 500]

[Your territory member: Elisa killed White-robed Priest: Heinz Diel, Tier 5 Boss-level Creature, gained experience points: 23500]

[Combat personnel gained experience points: 11750]

[You gained Honor Points: 500]

At this moment, looking at the loot scattered all over the ground after those Hunters died.

Cao Xing's breathing even became a bit rapid.

He had already seen the Heart of Strength, which was as big as an adult's palm, on the ground, along with several bright souls!

Cao Xing said excitedly, "Two Tier 5 bosses, plus seven or eight Tier 4 or 5 leaders, and over a hundred Hunters!"

"Caught off guard, I wiped them all out like trash mobs in one wave!"

"Hahaha! That was satisfying!"
