Legend is coming, Cao Xing’s method! (5000)

As she finished speaking, Hilda waved her hand.

A large amount of royal blood condensed and fell onto the corpses. Then, Cao Xing saw the skin on those already dead bodies begin to wriggle.

"Sss— Sss—"

In the blink of an eye, a large number of Blood Spiders crawled out from the corpses and began to devour them.

The sound of gnawing echoed continuously.

Soon, all the corpses below level 70 here were completely devoured.

In front of Cao Xing, at least three hundred Elite Blood Spiders, dozens of Chieftain-level Blood Spiders, and five Boss-level Blood Spiders appeared.

Their levels ranged from 40 to 60, which could be considered a fairly decent fighting force.

It is worth mentioning that the Blood Spiders hatched by Hilda using royal blood would have their potential reduced by one grade.

However, those hatched from large beasts would not have this issue.

This was related to the strength of the corpses.

Although human bodies are very agile and coordinated, they really have no advantage compared to the physical strength of those beasts.

Hilda crossed her arms and said proudly, "I, the Queen, have finished hatching them."

She tilted her head slightly, watching Cao Xing out of the corner of her eye, as if waiting for his praise.

But Cao Xing said indifferently, "Good, you can go back now."

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment appeared in the eyes of the Blood Spider Queen.

But soon, she returned to normal.

The two of them walked out of the basement together.

Just as Hilda was about to leave, she suddenly turned around and asked.

"Did you encounter any trouble?"

"Or, is something weighing on your mind?"

Cao Xing was slightly taken aback, realizing that his reaction must have seemed strange to his territory residents.

He chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Are you concerned about me?"

Hearing this, Hilda said indifferently.

"Hmph— I am not concerned about you; I'm just afraid you might have suffered some sort of setback."

Cao Xing smiled, "I see."

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"Is that so? Then I know."

After saying this, Hilda turned around and left freely.

After she left, Cao Xing still frowned, wondering what he was thinking about.

Time… gradually reached around six in the evening.

A large number of combat personnel returned to the territory one after another and brought Cao Xing some good news.

Bjorn and Xiao reported excitedly, "Lord, your method is too efficient!"

"The number of Ice Nests we destroyed this afternoon alone even exceeded the total from the past three or four days!"

"Everyone's strength has improved significantly, and we have also obtained many recruitment scrolls!"

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's cloudy face.

He looked at his gold points.

[gold point * 1148]

After redeeming the recruitment scroll for the Priestess Farnaz, he only had 128 gold points left.

The second round of the monster siege gave a total of 900 gold points, which was just over a thousand.

Since he hadn't really gone out much afterward, the gold points hadn't increased much.

That is to say, they had obtained 128 gold points for him in just half a day today. If it were a full day, it would be at least over 200!

At this rate, with more than half a month until the next monster siege, it would be completely enough to redeem that Sovereign-level recruitment scroll!

Cao Xing praised, "You all performed very well."

"Now go eat, then rest."

"Keep up the hard work tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Cao Xing's heart was once again filled with a sense of worry.

He sighed inwardly.

The premise is… that everyone can survive until tomorrow. Of course, he did not say this out loud.

"Yes!"

Bjorn, Xiao, and the others quickly left with their respective legions.

Then, after finishing dinner at the cafeteria, they returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Cao Xing also returned to the Lord's castle.

It was dark inside, without any light.

During these two hours, no one knew what had happened.

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that the lights inside the castle gradually turned on.

"Creak!"

With the sound of the door being pushed open, Cao Xing suddenly pushed open the gate of the Lord's castle.

However, compared to the worried look on his face when he entered, a smile now appeared on his face.

He first went to the Mage Tower to meditate.

Then he wandered around the territory alone.

After wandering for about five minutes, Cao Xing muttered to himself.

"Next, I'll go check on the growth of those Light Feather Chickens."

As he walked, he arrived at the buffer zone of the territory.

It was quite open here, with no buildings or obstructions around.

Just then, a faint sound of wind came from the air.

Just like the night breeze, it was not noticeable at all.

Even Cao Xing did not notice it at all and continued walking forward.

Just then, a mass of flowing shadow entered the territory silently.

This shadow moved extremely fast, arriving at the buffer zone of the territory in almost an instant.

Furthermore, the shadow rushed straight forward, and its target was none other than Cao Xing!

He possessed extremely powerful stealth abilities; even if you stood right in front of him, you wouldn't notice a thing.

In the shadow, a pitch-black dagger appeared, gleaming with a cold light in the dark night.

Just as he was about to make a move on Cao Xing.

A cold figure suddenly appeared before him—it was none other than Dragon Speaker Bing Lan.

The aura of the tenth tier was fully displayed on her, which made the figure in the darkness pause the action in his hands slightly.

She came to Cao Xing's side and said with an indifferent expression, "I am going to leave the territory."

Cao Xing asked with a look of confusion, "Why?"

"I am preparing to continue seeking revenge on the Watchers and kill the heroes in this organization."

"Last time I only killed two, it wasn't enough to vent my hatred!" The Dragon Speaker's face was filled with killing intent.

Upon hearing this, the figure in the darkness trembled slightly. A cold light gradually emerged in his eyes as he looked at the Dragon Speaker, and a trace of killing intent involuntarily radiated from his body.

It was precisely this trace of killing intent that made the Dragon Speaker seem to notice something.

"Hmm?"

She frowned slightly, staring behind Cao Xing.

After observing for a moment, she didn't find anything.

Cao Xing still had a look of confusion on his face.

"Bing Lan, is there something wrong?"

The Dragon Speaker did not speak; a glowing longsword instantly appeared in her hand, and she swept it directly behind Cao Xing.

"Swish!"

A shocking sword aura appeared!

At this moment, the shadow seemed to realize that he had been discovered.

But there was no panic on his face. Facing the Dragon Speaker's attack, he just casually waved the blade in his hand.

The dagger and the sword aura collided instantly, making a crisp "Ding!" sound, directly extinguishing the Dragon Speaker's sword aura!

However, the moment he launched his attack, his aura leaked out!

A terrifying wave instantly spread out and covered the entire territory.

At this moment, the Dragon Speaker's expression changed drastically.

"Damn it! This is a Legendary-level assassin!"

"Seraphis, quickly warn everyone!"

"Roar!!!"

Seraphis's roar instantly resounded for more than ten kilometers around, and even Tian Jing, who was far away in Yao Yiming's territory, heard this terrifying dragon roar!

In the entire territory, all the strong warriors were alarmed and rushed out of their rooms one after another!

At this moment, Cao Xing was looking behind him with a look of horror.

A mass of dark aura gradually appeared there.

Like the thickest ink in the dark night, it was silently condensing, twisting, and gradually taking the shape of a human figure.

He was cloaked in a black robe like the abyss of the dark night, with his hood pulled low, covering most of his face, revealing only a pair of eyes emitting a blood-red light!

With a playful look at the corners of his mouth, he stared at Cao Xing and the Dragon Speaker.

"So I was actually discovered?"

"However—the outcome is still the same; this territory will be destroyed today."

Cao Xing asked in terror, "Damn it, who are you? How did you enter the territory?"

Hearing his question, the other party's mouth curled into a playful smile again.

"This is the weak Otherworld Lord; you simply cannot understand the great power of my level. Let me end your miserable life."

As he finished speaking, this person, like a flowing shadow, appeared behind Cao Xing again.

The speed was so fast that it was simply beyond everyone's imagination.

Even the Dragon Speaker, who had reached level 97, was still unable to capture the movements of such a powerful figure!

In the darkness, a cold light flashed!

Like a judgment from the Grim Reaper, it carried terrifying lethality, even cutting a crack into the city wall hundreds of meters away!

This strike seemed as if it would cleave Cao Xing in two!

Sarah, who had already rushed out of the room, had a look of anxiety in her eyes; she immediately activated the [Shadow Teleport] on her dagger, instantly shifting hundreds of meters!

However, no matter how fast she was, she couldn't outpace a Legendary creature!

Even more terrifying was the fact that this Legendary assassin seemed to have an intimate understanding of Cao Xing and his companions, knowing they possessed some kind of special defensive measure capable of blocking multiple attacks!

In a single instant, they struck a dozen times!

In the terrified gazes of everyone, the cold-glinting dagger landed on Cao Xing.

Within the territory, the various powerhouses watched this scene in horror and shouted.

"Damn it! You are not allowed to lay a hand on the Lord!"

"Stop right there!!"

"Ah Xing!!!"

"Slash—"

The dagger sliced through everything and fell straight onto Cao Xing!

The next moment, Cao Xing's figure was sliced into fragments on the spot.

However, it didn't look like a human body being shattered; it looked more like a mass of flowing mist being cut into pieces.

At that moment, everyone on the scene fell into a state of bewilderment.

Including that Legendary assassin.

He muttered, "Failed?"

"This—how is this possible?"

Meanwhile.

At the edge of the territory, the door of a smithy opened.

From it walked a figure holding a staff and wearing mage robes.

It was none other than Cao Xing.

A look of keen interest played on his face.

"Damn, good thing I was prepared!"

"A Legendary powerhouse coming to assassinate a Tier 7 Mage like me, you are truly shameless!"

At this moment, the Legendary creature stared at Cao Xing in disbelief.

He asked in surprise, "You knew I would come to assassinate you?"

At that moment, he instantly understood something, and a trace of anger appeared in his pupils.

"Damn it!"

"You and this woman were acting here just to lure me into making a move?"

Cao Xing smiled without saying a word.

The Dragon Speaker's expression remained indifferent, but her eyes, fixed on the Legendary assassin, were filled with fighting spirit!

After all, this was a Legendary!

Now that she was nearing the Heroic limit, she really wanted to test just how terrifying a powerhouse of this level could be!

The Legendary assassin looked at Cao Xing with a dark expression.

"I see. It seems I was discovered long ago."

In fact, Cao Xing had not discovered the Legendary assassin.

The time must go back to five hours ago.

On the way back to his territory from Yao Yiming's territory, Cao Xing noticed a figure in that small grove.

The other party's attire felt somewhat familiar to him.

And by the looks of it, the other party seemed to have been waiting for him there for a long time, so Cao Xing entered the small grove.

After seeing him come down, the figure led him deep into the woods.

It didn't take long for them to stop.

Cao Xing asked, "Is there something you need?"

The figure did not turn back, but instead spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Tonight, a Legendary creature will come to assassinate you, so be careful."

Upon hearing this news, Cao Xing immediately frowned; although he was somewhat skeptical about the truthfulness of this person's words, he was more inclined to believe it was true.

Because he had seen this person before.

It was the Watchers who had fought a great battle with him in the Eternal Frost Main City a few days ago, that existence who held a long spear and possessed extremely fierce combat power!

Cao Xing continued to ask, "Is it a Legendary from you Watchers?"

The person nodded slightly and then said, "You and the old King wiped out the Church of Light, which has now aroused the wariness of the Watchers."

"They have decided to eliminate you before the Blood Legion descends."

"Do not count on the old King; he cannot help you either."

"During the assassination operation, two Legendaries will attack the Eternal Frost Main City simultaneously; you need to find a way to deal with the assassination of a Legendary powerhouse as soon as possible."

"I cannot stay here too long; you are on your own."

After quickly explaining everything, he was about to walk forward.

And just at this moment, Cao Xing called out to him.

"Wait a moment."

Then, he said, "You look a lot like a friend I once had."

"Is it you?"

Hearing this, the figure paused, shoulders trembling slightly.

However, the other party did not answer and simply left the place.

Cao Xing looked at the figure's back, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

After some consideration, he ultimately chose to believe this person's words.

Tonight! A Legendary would come, and they would assassinate him!

However, although he knew this news.

Cao Xing was still very uneasy.

After all, before this, he had never once faced a Legendary powerhouse head-on!

Even when fighting the War God's Guard legion and the Valkyrie's second form, he had simply dispatched the Lizardman Statue to instantly kill them.

What was even more troublesome was that the enemy was an assassin.

Now Cao Xing was in the open, and he was in the shadows.

And on the old King's side, two Legendaries would attack the Eternal Frost Main City at the same time the assassination operation began.

In other words, his biggest backer seemed to be unreliable!

Even if he could take the core members of his territory and use the teleportation array to escape to the Royal Palace, causing this Legendary powerhouse to miss their target.

But what about the others in the territory? And what about his territory?

He couldn't just abandon everything to avoid this assassination, could he?

Therefore, after returning to his territory, Cao Xing remained worried.

After all, that was a Legendary!

And one who was proficient in the art of assassination.

From the previous great battle between the old King and the Watcher Legendary, one could see just how terrifying an existence of this level was!

If the opponent wanted to kill someone, even if you had prepared in advance, it would be of no use.

Therefore, Cao Xing had been racking his brains on how to deal with an enemy of this level.

Thus, the following scene happened.

This figure of Cao Xing was something he had created using the [Illusion Pearl (Purple)].

This Purple-grade item had, at this moment, played an unexpected role.

Not only did it block an attack for Cao Xing, but it also exposed the figure of this Legendary.

And in order to prevent this Legendary assassin from realizing it was an illusion, he had specifically asked the Dragon Speaker to help act.

As of now, the plan was proceeding very smoothly.

Meanwhile.

The Watcher Legendary scanned his surroundings, and powerhouses gradually closed in on him.

Seeing this, his face still bore a look of disdain, looking at the crowd surrounding him as if looking at a group of ants.

"Heh… even if it was seen through, so what?"

"To deal with you ants, even without assassination, I can still slaughter you all."

Cao Xing said with a smile, "Is that so? I would really like to see just how powerful this so-called Legendary is!"

"However, a Legendary like you must be among the weakest of the bunch, right?"

"To fail at assassinating even a Tier 7 Mage like me, your combat power is just so-so."

Facing Cao Xing's intentional provocation, the Legendary assassin remained unmoved.

He chuckled, "How could a mortal like you understand the power of a Legendary."

"Even if you hide behind those people, killing you is as easy as reaching into a bag for me."

Cao Xing replied, "Is that so? I would really like to see how you intend to take my head."

A strange smile played on the corner of the assassin's mouth, "You will know soon enough."

With those words, he moved!

Like a flash of lightning, he streaked across, moving with extreme speed!

And he charged toward Cao Xing at high speed.

Just as he had said, Legendary powerhouses were quite formidable!

Even if he gave up stealth and fought head-on, no one in Cao Xing's territory was his match.

At this speed, even Malenia could not react.

However, Cao Xing still felt no fear.

Through that battle at the border, he had already calculated the terror of these Legendary powerhouses.

At least a million or more in attack power, combined with their terrifying attack speed and powerful combat skills.

Even a Heroic powerhouse would be instantly killed by them!

But this did not mean that there was no one in Cao Xing's territory capable of withstanding a Legendary attack.

At this moment, Braum's physique rapidly expanded, and then he let out a roar.

"Get over here!"

The Legendary assassin's steps toward Cao Xing stopped instantly, and then he involuntarily rushed toward Braum!
