Chapter 1681 - First Display Of Ferocity (1/2)

As soon as Scarlet Fox attacked, he entirely disrupted the initial balance of the battlefield.

Both parties began the next stage of battle proper.

With regards to this stage, Lin Huang felt there would be no real suspense to it.

After all, there were three upper-rank Lords in the Raiders’ group. What was more, one of these was Nine Snake, who was a powerhouse nearing the level of an ultimate-rank Lord.

However, Lin Huang still continued to watch the battle with great interest.

On the Raiders’ side, after Scarlet Fox’s attack, Nine Snake remained expressionless and silent throughout.

Silver remained where he was. He did not have any intention of taking a hand.

Scarlet Fox rubbed his nose and had no choice but to step forward.

After all, he was the one who had intervened earlier, not Silver or Nine Snake.

On the Bug Tribe’s side, the middle-rank lord-level Bug Queen that was the core of the Divine Magic Winged Bug felt slightly relieved when it saw Scarlet Fox standing out there on his own.

When it saw him attacking earlier, its biggest concern was that a war would fully break out, and the three upper-rank Lords would attack together.

Fortunately, such a situation had not happened.

Seeing Scarlet Fox coming forward, it immediately controlled the Divine Magic Winged Bug to shrink it down to a smaller size.

“My apologies, I was curious. I was wondering if I could experience for myself how powerful your bug formation really is.” Scarlet Fox’s tone remained polite.

The Divine Magic Winged Bug said nothing; instead, it immediately made its move.

Its one hundred and eight pairs of scale-covered wings vibrated at high speed. Countless blade-like rays rained down like a storm, deluging the entire area in an instant. They filled the sky as far as the eye could see, and all of them surged toward the lone figure of Scarlet Fox.

Although Nine Snake and the rest were standing not far behind Scarlet Fox, the Divine Magic Winged Bug still did not dare to include them in its attack. It only dared to target Scarlet Fox alone.

It knew very well that if it dared to attack anyone other than Scarlet Fox, it would definitely be met by combined suppression from the three upper-rank Lords.

It was not even sure if it could defeat Scarlet Fox, so of course, it was unwilling to face the combined forces of all three Lords.

Scarlet Fox watched as the blade-like rays that filled the whole sky headed toward him. Remaining utterly calm, his figure moved continuously, forming tens of thousands of shadows in the air. For a while, the spectators had some difficulty differentiating which figure was real and which was false.

“This fellow is definitely something.” Lin Huang was also staring at Scarlet Fox’s display of movement skill.

This was a lord-level movement skill that clearly combined shadow rule and illusion rule.

Cultivators who had weaker God’s soul strength than Scarlet Fox were entirely unable to counter movements like this because there was no way at all to differentiate the real from the false.

On the outer perimeter of the battlefield between the two combatants, the eyes of the six middle-rank Lords in the Raiders’ team widened at this point. On the Bug Tribe’s side, the ten lower-rank Lords who were the core of the mutated bugs looked completely dumbfounded as well.

The truth was when one’s movement skill had reached this level, the shadows were not totally illusory—they were clones that could be made tangible. Not only that, Lin Huang could tell that Scarlet Fox was probably even able to switch his own position with that of the shadows as he pleased.

This set of movement skills was so subtle and exquisite that even Lin Huang felt a slight urge to learn it.

In a little while, Scarlet Fox’s figure and the tens of thousands of shadows were completely swallowed up by the massive torrent of blade-like rays.

Any of the spectators watching with Divine Telekinesis could clearly see that the illusory figures were rapidly destroyed by the attacking blade-like rays. However, many more illusory figures consolidated to take their place.

Eventually, when all the blade-like rays had faded, Scarlet Fox’s figure was still standing where it had been all along as if it had not moved at all from the beginning until the end.

“This round at least has some sort of standard to it. Thumbs up for you,” Lin Huang commented, smiling.

Naturally, he had clearly seen that Scarlet Fox did actually move, switching his position with the shadows at least ten times. However, in the end, he had gone back to his initial position on purpose.

It was just that he had performed all of this with extreme subtlety. If not for the fact that Lin Huang possessed a more powerful God’s soul than Scarlet Fox, it would have been hard for him to notice this.
