"It seems we've dragged you into this."
Jingyi Marquis sent a bitter smile to Luo Fan through voice transmission.
"These are the ones who besieged us last time."
"It's mainly because we killed Netherblade King's younger brother."
"So that madman has been trying to contact demon race powerhouses, using our squad name as an excuse, to kill us and avenge his brother."
The other members of the Demon-Hunting Squad also looked solemn.
After all, this time was different from last time.
Previously, when Netherblade King led people to besiege them, there just happened to be some human experts nearby.
But this time, Netherblade King had even invited Sea Ao King.
Sea Ao King's strongest ability was spatial lockdown.
Once spatial lockdown was in place, even if there were human experts nearby, it would be extremely difficult for them to come to the rescue.
After all, if they had to fly over slowly, the battle would already be over.
On the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, for Marquis-level experts and early-stage King-level Immortals to move quickly, aside from spaceships, they relied on spatial traversal.
Generally, only high-tier King-level experts had mastered certain profound aspects of superior origin laws.
Therefore, instantaneous teleportation, the fastest form of movement, was still beyond the control of early-stage King-level experts and below.
They could only use a derivative of teleportation, spatial traversal, to move rapidly.
However, with Sea Ao King enforcing spatial lockdown, even teleportation itself could not be used.
Let alone spatial traversal.
In other words, if human reinforcements wanted to reach this place, it would take a considerable amount of time.
By then, they would already be dead.
Moreover, the experts besieging them this time were nearly double those of last time.
This was practically a dead end.
Although killing a peak Marquis-level expert like Jingyi Marquis would normally require at least peak King-level strength to be certain,
that was under one-on-one conditions.
If these early-stage King-level experts joined forces to besiege Jingyi Marquis, he would not last long at all.
"Ice Blade, I'll look for a chance to self-destruct. See if you can break out."
"I've already sent out a distress signal to nearby allies."
"But with Sea Ao King here, it will take human experts quite some time to arrive."
"By then, we'll all be dead."
"You're the strongest in the squad right now. When the time comes, see if you can break through."
"I'll find an opportunity to self-destruct and cover your escape."
Jingyi Marquis transmitted directly to Luo Fan.
In his view, Netherblade King's brother had been killed by them.
This matter had nothing to do with Luo Fan.
Moreover, Luo Fan had only recently joined the Demon-Hunting Squad.
This situation could be said to have implicated him.
So Jingyi Marquis intended to do his best to see whether he could let Luo Fan escape.
Among the squad, only Luo Fan had any chance of getting away.
After all, Sea Ao King had mastered spatial lockdown, not teleportation.
As long as Luo Fan's flying speed was fast enough, there was still a possibility of escape.
The other squad members also sent voice transmissions to Luo Fan one after another.
"Ice Blade, later we'll directly burn our divine power to cast illusions on them."
"Although we can't trap them in illusions, we can still delay them for a short while."
"Try to break out at that time."
Because this operation was specifically aimed at besieging the Demon-Hunting Squad,
Netherblade King, who was familiar with their tactics, had deliberately recruited several King-level experts with strong soul defenses.
As a result, even if Charming Fox Marquis and the God-Eyed twins cast triple-layer illusions together, it would be difficult to trap these experts for long.
The remaining members also sent similar messages, telling Luo Fan to look for an opportunity to escape.
Among the squad, only Luo Fan had any chance.
Rather than waiting here to die together, it was better to give it a try.
If one could escape, that was already a gain.
Listening to everyone's voice transmissions, warmth rose in Luo Fan's heart.
He smiled and said,
"It's fine. Leave it to me."
Although a lot was exchanged through voice transmission just now,
all of it had actually happened in an instant.
When the others heard Luo Fan's response and were about to persuade him further,
they suddenly felt the aura around Luo Fan surge violently.
"This…"
"What a terrifying aura!"
"How is this possible!"
At this moment, the members of the Demon-Hunting Squad felt the explosive aura beside them and were utterly shocked.
The demon race experts who had surrounded them also revealed expressions of fear.
"This aura…"
"Netherblade King! Didn't you say the strongest in the Demon-Hunting Squad was only a peak Marquis-level Immortal?"
"Why is there such a terrifying aura here?"
"Who exactly is that person!"
Netherblade King himself looked at Luo Fan in fear.
He only knew that the Demon-Hunting Squad had recently gained a new powerhouse.
But he had no idea of Luo Fan's true strength.
After all, during this period, every enemy the Demon-Hunting Squad encountered had been completely wiped out.
So although he knew the Demon-Hunting Squad had been in the limelight recently,
there was very little concrete information.
Because any strong opponents they encountered had basically died.
Moreover, the demon race's virtual world system was relatively underdeveloped.
Their intelligence exchange was also more difficult than that of other races.
This led to the fact that Netherblade King only knew that the Demon-Hunting Squad had gained a new member.
The only thing he knew was that this member should merely be a Marquis-level expert.
After all, when Luo Fan arrived at the military camp base, quite a few people had seen him.
Early-stage Marquis-level new recruits were still relatively rare.
So many people had an impression of him.
Netherblade King had also assumed that Luo Fan was just an early-stage Marquis.
Therefore, in his view, the lineup he had invited this time was more than sufficient to wipe out the Demon-Hunting Squad completely.
At this moment, Sea Ao King, the strongest in the demon race camp, also showed a trace of solemnity.
"This aura is far stronger than mine!"
"Netherblade King, I won't accompany you anymore."
As he spoke, Sea Ao King did not hesitate at all. He directly lifted the surrounding spatial lockdown and prepared to flee.
But how could Luo Fan give him that chance.
Sea Ao King did not possess teleportation. Trying to escape immediately was not that easy.
A giant whale suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Terrifying energy fluctuations spread in all directions.
Powerful law fluctuations emanated from the giant whale.
Although everyone was somewhat puzzled by the intensity of the law fluctuations,
the sheer terror of the energy alone was already frightening.
Some knowledgeable experts suddenly realized something.
This energy fluctuation seemed even more terrifying than that of some invincible King-level experts.
It could even rival a Universe Venerable.
The only thing that did not match was the strength of the law fluctuations.
If the law fluctuations were just a bit stronger, they would have suspected that a Universe Venerable had violated the rules and entered the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.
In reality, their perception was not wrong.
Luo Fan's comprehension of laws was indeed still relatively weak.
Although it had improved recently,
it was only around the level of the seventeenth layer of the Sky-Piercing Bridge.
If he challenged it using pure amplification from his strength, passing the eighteenth or even nineteenth layer was possible.
However, compared to the law comprehension of King-level experts, he still fell short.
That was why these demon race experts felt that the law fluctuations of the giant whale were not strong.
They were even weaker than the law fluctuations produced when they themselves used secret techniques.
Even so, under such terrifying energy, this secret technique was far from simple.
The giant whale opened its enormous mouth, and something resembling seawater surged out.
Upon closer inspection, one would realize that it was not seawater at all.
It was blade light.
This was a secret technique Luo Fan had recently improved.
It was also a technique designed for group attacks.
Although its power was inferior to Whale Fin Slash,
it was extremely effective when used against multiple opponents.
Moreover, when combined with the terrifying strength of the Space Worm clone, its power was utterly dreadful.
In an instant, the surrounding void was enveloped by a sea of blade light.
The demon race experts discovered that they were now as if trapped in a swamp.
Not only had their movement speed slowed drastically,
the surrounding sea of blade light was constantly grinding away their divine bodies.
Although each instance only erased a small portion of divine power,
this sea of blade light was nearly endless.
"This is bad!"
"Run!"
"What kind of secret technique is this!"
"It hasn't even been long, and my divine body has already been worn down by 3.4 percent!"
At this moment, the demon race experts at the Marquis level felt it most keenly.
They discovered that their divine power was rapidly declining.
The power of this surrounding sea of blade light was simply too terrifying.
Although the laws contained within it were not particularly strong to them,
the one using the technique was far too terrifying.
"Damn it! A warrior may be killed, but not humiliated!"
"Ah!"
A peak Marquis-level demon race expert, thinking that Luo Fan was deliberately tormenting them, directly began burning divine power to resist the sea of blade light.
He believed that Luo Fan was deliberately using a weak secret technique, relying solely on terrifying foundational strength to grind down their divine bodies.
After all, for Immortal experts, the higher their law comprehension, the stronger their divine power.
Who could have imagined that a World Master could rely on terrifying foundational strength to rival a Universe Venerable.
The members of the Demon-Hunting Squad were completely stunned.
They stared blankly at the scene before them.
"This… this… how can this be…"
"Ice Blade, are you really a new recruit?"
"This is simply defying heaven!"
"Am I under an illusion?"
The squad members looked at the scene in disbelief.
Just moments ago, they had been completely surrounded by demon race experts.
Now, it had turned into Luo Fan slaughtering them until they were on the verge of collapse.
Boom!
Finally, the first demon race expert in the sea of blade light could no longer hold on.
He was merely a peak Marquis-level Immortal.
If he had not been burning divine power, he would have been instantly killed by Luo Fan long ago.
As the sound of self-destruction rang out, it was as if a switch had been flipped.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A series of self-destruction explosions echoed one after another.
Very quickly, within the sea of blade light, all demon race experts below the King level were dead.
Because the blade light constantly eroded their divine power,
in order to prevent their divine power from dropping too low and forcing them into slumber, becoming slaves to others,
once their divine power fell to a certain level, they chose to self-destruct directly.
Now, only the King-level experts remained, struggling to endure.
All of these King-level experts had also begun burning divine power.
Otherwise, they would have no way to withstand this terrifying sea of blade light.
