Chapter 471: Another Twist
Seeing so many powerful Humans appearing, this time it was the Ghost Clan's turn to showcase their acting skills.
One by one, the eighth-order Ghost Clan members had their faces change drastically, as if they had lost their parents, filled with grief and despair, truly a sight to behold.
The three Ninth-level leaders of the Ghost Clan appeared calm, but a hint of panic could be seen in their eyes, all of which Marshal noticed.
It had to be said that as long as they were intelligent beings, they were born actors.
The acting skills of the Humans deceived the Ghost Clan, and the Ghost Clan's acting skills deceived the Humans in return, truly a great show!
As an onlooker, Su Chen made his own commentary, "Hmm, the Ghost Clan's performance is still not convincing enough. If they could delve deeper into their acting, the visual effect would be better. Look at the expression of that eighth-order Ghost Clan; it doesn't look like shock at all; it's more like he's pinching himself in pain."
Following Su Chen's pointing, the three women looked over, and sure enough, the eighth-order Ghost Clan had one hand on his buttocks, pinching it hard, looking rather grim and seemingly shocked.
"Haha! Is this also considered acting? The Ghost Clan must be trying to make me die of laughter. They want to inherit my research data, huh?" Yun Ru burst into laughter; the expression of that Ghost Clan was just too comical.
Ju Ling and Tanya also had a hint of amusement on their faces. This Ghost Clan's appearance was quite amusing, and when the Spy satellite zoomed in on his face for a close-up, his humor level skyrocketed.
If it weren't for the fact that the gazes of the powerful Humans were fixed on the three Ninth-level Ghost Clan members, this Ghost Clan's behavior would have been exposed long ago.After Marshal's loud shout, there was a brief moment of silence at the scene. As Ninth-level Peak powerhouses, his imposing aura instantly overwhelmed all the Ghost Clan members.
The three Ninth-level Ghost Clan members were shocked; this was the first time they had faced a Ninth-level Peak Human powerhouse head-on. They hadn't expected such strength. Just one shout had cost them at least ten percent of their combat power.
It might not sound like much, but when it came to Ninth-level standards of strength, even a ten percent loss in combat power would be more than enough to deal with an 8th Order Early-Term powerhouse.
"Who among you is the leader?" Marshal spoke with a magnetic voice.
One of the Ninth-level Ghost Clan members stepped forward, his eyes filled with anger and confusion, as if he hadn't expected the Humans to surround them in turn. He probably thought this Ninth-level Ghost Clan's performance was outstanding and that he was close to winning the "little gold man."
"I am Ghost King McCaw, and they are all under my command."
"So, you're the one who proposed this trap? Why isn't there a Ghost Master with you?" Marshal didn't believe that this seemingly brawny Ghost Clan member could come up with such a plan on his own. Without a Ghost Master's involvement, he absolutely wouldn't believe it.
After fighting the Ghost Clan for so long, Humans had gained some insight into the Ghost Clan. They knew that Ghost Kings might not have the sharpest minds, but they were undoubtedly the most powerful in combat. Ghost Masters, on the other hand, were different; the intellect of each Ghost Master was formidable, and they were all like military strategists among Humans.
For a plan like this, it was impossible to believe it didn't involve a Ghost Master.
"This plan was developed jointly by me and the Ghost Master in our tribe. Originally, we just wanted to take down some of your strong individuals, but we didn't expect you to see through our plan. This time, I, McCaw, have failed!" McCaw's eyes were filled with regret.
In this situation, he seemed to believe that there was no hope of victory, and Marshal estimated that he would choose to break through, using Ghost Clan's unique Burst cultivation.
Marshal waved his hand, and a semi-transparent membrane appeared in the air, covering the area.
Seeing this, the powerful Humans present were moved. Marshal had actually brought out his domain; this was quite rare. The way battles were conducted on Yan Yun Star was different from Earth; they didn't seem to use their domains but rather attached the power of the domain directly to themselves and fought using other methods. Once a domain was released, it meant a life-and-death battle.
Su Chen had learned about this from other sources; domains seemed sturdy, but if they were shattered, it would inflict significant damage on the one who had released it. Usually, no one would release their domain at the beginning of a battle.
Emperors on Earth were completely ignorant in this regard; they used whatever was useful. However, this made them highly skilled in using domains, with a level of integration surpassing even eighth-order Yan Yun Star powerhouses. It had its advantages and disadvantages.
Seeing Marshal release his domain, the three Ninth-level Ghost Clan members hesitated. Did the enemy really want to kill them? They hoped that the Ghost Master would arrive soon.
"Marshal, this is a Star Core."
Zheng Ye stepped forward and handed over the Star Core he had obtained to Marshal. Taking the Star Core, Marshal, who rarely showed any emotion, smiled slightly for the first time in millennia. "This is a genuine Star Core; very good. From now on, you'll follow me."
Zheng Ye was delighted; he knew that this meant Marshal would protect him in the future.
Having a Ninth-level Peak powerhouse covering for him, what kind of feeling was that?
Zheng Ye felt like he was floating on air; he had really hit the jackpot.
Although he couldn't obtain the Star Core, having a powerhouse to show off with and to fly with was something many people dreamed of.
The others were envious, but they didn't get the Star Core; there was no reason for the powerhouse to cover for them.
"Kill them."
With Marshal's command, everyone went all out; no one held back. As long as they killed these Ghost Clan powerhouses, the overall strength of the Ghost Clan would decrease by at least thirty percent, which was no joke.
With thirty percent less strength, Humans would have more ways to deal with the Ghost Clan's attacks. When Marshal broke through to the Small Galaxy level, what would the Ghost Clan be then?
Just as the powerful Humans were suppressing the Ghost Clan, suddenly, the sound of shattering glass rang out, accompanied by Marshal's coughing up blood. A sharp voice reached the ears of all the Human powerhouses: "Did you ever ask me if you could kill us Ghost Clan folks?"
