Chapter 1258 - Counterattack, Part Two
Half a month remained before the final test of the Immortal Draft Assembly ended. At this point, the assembly had entered its final phase.
The benchmark of a thousand feet of immortal affinity was neither difficult nor easy. Some had already met it, while many others still struggled to gather enough.
Most of the opportunities and treasures in the test grounds had already been claimed, and cultivators had grown much stronger.
In the beginning, most of the examinees only had quasi-Legendary realm cultivation, and Legends could roam unfettered in the test grounds.
Now, however, seventy to eighty percent of the examinees had advanced to the Legendary realm. Quasi-Legendary realm experts were few and far between, and as for the Manifestation realm, there was not even one.
Even Legendary experts had become targets in the scramble for immortal affinity—a sharp contrast to the beginning.
Everyone was desperately trying to hit the thousand-foot mark before the assembly ended. Otherwise, they would be losing the chance to join an immortal sect.
By now, the people from the same continent had largely banded together, moving under the lead of their strongest to seize affinity from others.
After all, it was impossible to compete for immortal affinity alone at this stage. They would be prey in other people's eyes. The only option was to join forces and sweep through the competition.
"Charge, seize their immortal affinity!"
"Let us take your immortal affinity. Otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless!"
"If you don't wish to die, obediently hand over your immortal affinity."
"Mercy, mercy, I'll hand over my immortal affinity. Don't kill me, I don't wish to die."
Huge battles erupted in all corners of the test grounds. Smoke clouds rose everywhere.
For the sake of immortal affinity, everyone fought with their all.
One day, Sun Hao and a few others returned. Chen Fan, Huang Wuji, and the rest immediately went up to them and asked, "How is it? Have you found the Clean-up Alliance's base camp?"
There was only half a month left. They needed to eradicate the Clean-up Alliance, both for revenge and to ensure everyone here secured enough immortal affinity. No one could be left behind.
They had experienced life and death together. Some had once been enemies on the Tianwu Continent, but now, past grudges were set aside. They fought as one, trusting each other fully.
Sun Hao and the other scouts drank a large bowl of water, took a few deep breaths, and said, "We found it. We found their lair. It's in a forest in the central area. They've built a simple stronghold."
"Good. Did you confirm they're still there?"
"We verified it. We saw many people moving inside the stronghold from afar."
"Good, good, good. Everyone, their base has been located, and our injuries are healed. So, it's time for payback."
Cao Yin, Wu Yuan, and the others roared, killing intent flaring, blood surging.
"Counterattack!"
"Screw them all!"
"Slaughter our way into their lair!"
"Alright, let's move out!"
......
Clean-up Alliance's base camp:
Several figures ran into the stronghold in a panic.
"They're here. Chen Fan's group is here!"
Boom, boom!
Ji Feixue, Luo Hao, and the others' auras erupted. They shouted coldly, "What are you panicking for? Are you sure?"
"We're sure. They're not even trying to hide. They're coming straight at us!"
"Good. Then they die here. Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Ji Feixue and the others' gazes turned cold, the corners of their lips curling up.
As expected, Chen Fan's group had taken the initiative to counterattack!
In an instant, the entire stronghold got busy. Everyone was on standby, weapons gripped, cultivation surging, prepared to fight at a moment's notice.
Boom, boom, boom!
In the distance, terrifying auras invaded like ferocious beasts. Wherever they passed, the space shook, the earth cracked, and the trees fell.
Chen Fan's group did not attempt to hide. They advanced openly, auras blazing. They were bold, oppressive, and unstoppable.
Before they arrived, their terrifying auras were already pressing against them, causing many of the Clean-up Alliance's people to suffocate; faces went pale.
"Ji Feixue, Luo Hao, Jiang Xian, today is the day your Clean-up Alliance meets its end. Come out and die!"
Rumble!
The three Greater Legendary realm experts rose to the sky, their auras reaching the clouds, forming a powerful force that collided with the auras of Chen Fan's group. They shouted coldly, "Don't get cocky, Huang Wuji, Chen Fan. You won't return alive today!"
"Hahahaha! Watch your tongues. Bluff too hard and you might bite them!"
Chen Fan's group surged forward like a storm, their momentum like a charging battle formation. Wind howled, waves of force tore through the air. The pressure and momentum were immense.
Everyone from Chen Fan's group was like a ferocious beast that devoured people, crossing the space.
"Roar!" Ji Feixue and the others let out a roar and shouted furiously, "Friends of the Yunluo Continent, show yourselves!"
"Hahahaha, we're here!"
Suddenly, several auras erupted from behind a sky-piercing peak not far away. Next, about ten figures swept over to this side, creating a pincer formation with the Clean-up Alliance, surrounding Chen Fan's group.
These people came from the Yunluo Continent. Their leader was a Greater Legendary realm expert by the name of Ge Yang.
Chen Fan and the others' expressions changed slightly. The Clean-up Alliance had found helpers.
Ji Feixue and the others looked at Chen Fan's group with cold smiles and said, "Huang Wuji, Chen Fan, did you think we would sit back and wait for death?Hmph, we figured out you would take the initiative to launch a counterattack long ago. Did you think we wouldn't make any preparations? Today, since you've come, don't think about returning alive!"
Huang Wuji's expression didn't change. His aura was still as fierce as ever, and he said, "Hoho, did you think you could devour us just because you found a bunch of nobodies? How delusional! Fine, fine, since a bunch of blind fools dared to meddle, we'll wipe them out too."
"What arrogance!" Ge Yang's group bristled with killing intent. Being called nobodies by Huang Wuji, right to their faces, was a pure insult.
This group wasn't weak, with one Greater Legendary realm, one peak, two late-stage, three middle-stage, and three early-stage Lesser Legends. Yet, Huang Wuji had insulted them to their face. How hateful of him!
"Hmph, cut the nonsense. Let's fight!" Huang Wuji's aura rose to the clouds, causing heaven and earth to change colors. His long hair fluttered wildly, and his clothing clattered loudly. Wielding the purple-gold battle halberd, he radiated the might of a battle god defying the heavens.
"Fight!" Chen Fan and the others were also fearless.
Even though they didn't expect the Clean-up Alliance to have found helpers, so what? They would fight all the same!
