Chapter 1414 - Ambush (1/2)

Without looking back, Han Xiao casually replied, “As you can see, these are all reinforcements that I’ve pulled over to fill the gap in our combat strength.”

The church head knocked on the table with his knuckles and said with a deep voice, “Don’t play dumb. I’m asking how they got here. When did you revive these people?”

Hearing this, Han Xiao then turned around and glanced at the three of them.

“Do you think all the revivors are willing to appear in public? I never said that the ones in the association are all the revivors there are. As for who exactly I revived, I have no obligation to tell others. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.”

The three of them choked and looked at him deeply.

They did not need to think too much to guess that this was Black Star’s backup plan. There was probably a group of revivors hidden in the dark, which was most likely arranged during the confrontation back then as a trump card against the three Universal Civilizations. If they had decided to carry out the purge back then, the result would have been hard to determine. Now that Han Xiao had just revealed this trump card, the three of them were shocked.

However, after knowing him for so many years, the three of them had a deep understanding of Black Star’s unfathomable habits. They were already used to Black Star setting up spies everywhere. Perhaps this group of revivors that had suddenly appeared was just the tip of the iceberg of his hidden force…

The three of them looked away with heavy hearts.

This was not the time to be bothered about such things, the three of them were still more respectful toward Han Xiao.

Now that Black Star was on the same level as them, the three of them saw that he did not want to explain and so they did not continue asking.

Furthermore, compared to the importance of Black Star himself, having another batch of revivors did not seem like a big deal. With Han Xiao, who was a Transcendent, the impact these hidden revivors had on the three of them was limited.

Of course, Han Xiao would not take the initiative to explain the origin of the Holy Accord. Looking at the three of them, he could not help but smile.

Back then, he had hidden the strength of the Holy Accord organization to leave a path of retreat for the association, allowing the Beyond Grade As to be divided into two parts —the open and the dark.

He had originally planned to reveal the tip of the iceberg of the Holy Accord at the right time and make the three Universal Civilizations wary. However, his plans could not keep up with the changes. Now that he had stepped into the Transcendent Grade, the deterrence of a single person was comparable to the entire Beyond Grade A group. The Holy Accord Revivors trump card was not as important as before. However, it was still useful. It was not a bad thing to make the three Universal Civilizations warier.

Han Xiao paid attention to the battle once again. After watching for a while, he suddenly locked onto the Secret Tree King and Clotti who were fighting on the surveillance screen. “My prey has appeared. Excuse me.” The remote projection disappeared.

Only at this moment did the three Universal Civilizations’ leaders relax. They looked at each other and saw the fear in each other’s eyes.

In a certain war zone in the shallow layer dimension battlefield.

Bang!

The rainbow-like magic light penetrated the surging dark energy and landed on Clotti’s body, leaving a new wound. The powerful annihilation force sent him flying, crashing into the dark brown ground and smashing through hundreds of layers.

“Cough cough…”

The cells in his body withered under the influence of the Annihilation spell. Clotti quickly used his energy to stabilize his injuries before looking up at the enemy in the sky with a grave expression.

The Secret Tree King was floating in the air, looking down at him from above. Forbidden Spells were brewing around him, rapidly taking shape and falling like a storm.

Clotti gritted his teeth to suppress his injuries and manipulated the dark energy to meet the attack. However, the stalemate only lasted for an instant before he was sent flying once again, with many new wounds on his body.

“This Tree King… is too strong…”

Clotti clutched his wound, his eyes shining with shock.

He had judged the strength of the Tree King from the Subduing Tree King, the Heart Tree King, and the Lord’s Avatar of the Fortitude Tree King. He had thought that even if he could not defeat this new Tree King, he would at least be able to hold on for a long time. However, Clotti did not expect that this guy who called himself the Secret Tree King was stronger than the other three. He was the National Pillar, but the other party beat him like beating a younger brother. It was easy and relaxed.

Among all the opponents that he had fought, only Black Star and Wuornos could deal with him so easily.

If the other Beyond Grade A Mages were just ordinary magic cannons, then this Secret Tree King was a rapid nuclear bomb. The strength, frequency, and speed of his casting far exceeded all the Mages that Clotti had ever

seen!

In the sky, the Secret Tree King temporarily stopped attacking. He moved his fingers and casually played with a ribbon made of magic power.

“You actually dared to fight me one on one. Should I say that your courage is commendable, or you are overestimating yourself? Unfortunately, only that Mechanic or that Esper has the qualifications to fight me. Your strength is a little too weak. If this continues, I won’t have any interest in killing

you…”

The only opponents that the Secret Tree King cared about were Han Xiao and EsGod. Although Clotti’s combat strength was not low, and his dark energy control Esper Ability was rather penetrative, it was not much of a threat to him, a Mage who grasped multidimensional energy. Feeling the other party’s contempt, Clotti’s face darkened. He silently gathered his energy and prepared to go all out.

However, right at this moment, a spatial fluctuation appeared in their senses. The space wall in the distance opened up, and a figure covered in a hooded black robe appeared. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and the edges of his clothes were like black flames. He was brimming with the aura of a peak Beyond Grade A, attracting their attention.

“Who are you?” Clotti turned around. He did not know if he was friend or foe, but he immediately became more alert.

“We’re on the same side.”

Oathkeeper glanced at him before staring at the Secret Tree King.

“Another one?” The Secret Tree King narrowed his eyes. “You’re in cahoots with those new reinforcements, right? You should be their leader. Interesting, you still have a group of high-level combatants hidden… Heh, so what? You can’t turn the situation around. Sooner or later, we’ll wipe out all your forces in the secondary dimension world!”

Through the mental network, he had already found out about the Holy Accord Revivors reinforcing the three Universal Civilizations’ Beyond Grade As.

In the eyes of the Secret Tree King, facing an opponent like the World Tree, the three Universal Civilizations should have felt immense pressure and gone all out long ago. However, the other party was still holding back even now. It was truly unfathomable.
