Chapter 375: Alchemy Performance

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Suddenly, a figure rushed into his tent.

Even in the dark, Ye Chong could see everything clearly. The person who came in wore a mask and fitting black clothing. Only his eyes were visible. His sharp eyes and quick movements all betrayed his superior abilities.

It was too bad that no matter how strong a person was, it was still hard to avoid an ambush like this. Ye Chong’s tent was filled with a very dense cloud of knockout agents. Ye Chong would not have stayed in the tent if he did not have his smoke pearl.

There were sharp cries coming from outside. It seemed that the ambushers were noticed. Ye Chong could even hear Han Yue’s angry yell.

However, he was still focused on his immediate surroundings. It was not yet time to worry about Han Yue and the rest of the group.

The tent was dark inside. The ambusher entered the tent and immediately went unconscious, falling to the ground.

Ye Chong felt reassured, seeing the knockout agents taking effect. He stepped forward and caught the man in black clothing before he reached the ground, then pushed him quietly to a corner.

He knew how competent Han Yue’s group was. These ambushers must have planned their operation ahead of time. This meant that they were familiar with Han Yue’s group too. Since they decided to attack anyway, they must be stronger than Han Yue’s group.

Fortunately, he still had many alchemy products with him. Here in the darkness, Ye Chong’s ability as a fully stocked alchemist was not to be underestimated. Additionally, he was a combat expert, familiar with the attack strategies of other combat experts.

Ye Chong offered no mercy. He put force into his hands, and the unconscious man stopped breathing immediately.

”109 … 109 …” The person outside did not enter right after, but whispered the code name of the now dead man. However, no matter how they called, the tent remained silent.

The men in black exchanged looks, knowing that 109 was probably incapacitated.

The leader made a signalling gesture, and the five of them threw out the weapons in their hands towards the tent.

Rip! The tough fabric of the tent was torn as the five weapons shot into the tent simultaneously.

Ye Chong heard the sound of rushing wind the moment they threw their weapons and was slightly surprised. As expected, these people were not easy to deal with. That they would act so carefully even in an ambush in the dark spoke volumes of their rich experience in actual combat. This was the kind of opponent that Ye Chong wanted to avoid the most. These people always knew the best strategy against any situation, and they had very low chances of making mistakes. If it was a group of similar people, his current situation would be very dangerous.

Ye Chong bent down forcefully, lying low to the ground. The five weapons flew past right above his head. One lance was only centimeters from his head. Ye Chong felt a chill down his spine. He was only human after all. If that lance had hit him, he would be dead by now.

”Careful, it’s an alchemist inside,” the leader warned his subordinates. He was highly alert. The knockout agents began to escape through the five holes in the tent made with their weapons. While the agents were colorless and scentless, he was also very experienced. With just an inhale, he felt a slight dizziness and quickly stepped back, surprised by the strength of the knockout agents.

The rest of the team stepped back as well, looking at the tent warily.

As these five people were met with resistance, the same went for the rest of the ambushers. Han Yue had brought with him elites who could react fast and coordinate perfectly with each other. The situation quickly turned into a stalemate.

Han Yue was surprised and furious. As the strongest tribe on Dankwood planet, the Han Family had long since received challenges like this. However, he quickly calmed down. They were not too far from Emerald city now. If they could hold on for a bit longer, reinforcements would arrive soon.

The opponent attacked aggressively, seemingly with a clear objective.

Could it be …

Han Yue’s heart skipped a beat as he turned to look towards the Old Mistress. As expected, they were receiving the bulk of the enemy’s forces. The ten bodyguards of the Old Mistress were skilled, holding off the enemy for now. However, he could see that they were slowly losing ground.

As it was, he was too deep in his own fight to lend assistance. The ambushers had chosen an effective attack strategy. His own forces were now scattered about, unable to converge.

Han Yue was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
