Ling Xiao and his squad were on their mission when other squads were also carrying out theirs simultaneously.
Due to the ticulous planning and the suddenness of the operation, the Dreamy Elixir sellers were caught completely off guard.
Many disciples from Hidden Dragon Camp earned a significant number of Military Achievent Points during the battle.
All of these individuals were geniuses, and with their previous near-death battle encounters, they were unfazed by such real combat.
However, after the initial panic and suffering heavy casualties, the Dreamy Elixir sellers finally began to steady their ranks, and many places assigned their top experts.
At this point, casualties among the disciples of Hidden Dragon Camp started to occur.
It’s the nature of soldiers that from the day they joined Hidden Dragon Camp, they should have understood that death is very common on the battlefield.
Previously, the youthful genius Zhang Yuan, who had allied with the wrong side, was abandoned by his team at a critical mont and tragically killed by the Dreamy Elixir sellers, becoming Hidden Dragon Camp’s first casualty.
Luckily, the Twelve Tiger Guards held back most of the expert Martial Masters; otherwise, the casualties among these geniuses from Hidden Dragon Camp would have been much more severe.
Of course, in terms of casualty ratios, their mission was very successful, and it dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the Dreamy Elixir sellers.
Ling Xiao and the other three were still resting or cultivating.
Having burned down the Green-eyed Clan’s Fantasy Pill Factory, they had beco a thorn in the Green-eyed Clan’s side; it was a prudent choice to rest a bit at this ti.
There was silence throughout the night.
The following morning, as the first rays of light touched Ling Xiao, he opened his eyes.
"Five of my Martial Veins’ Gang Qi has been converted into True Essence. Now, even if I encounter a Martial Vein Seventh Initial Stage Martial Master, I don’t need Senior Yi Xue’s help; I have the power to fight!"
Although during this mission, he severely injured one Seventh Layer Martial Master at the Martial Pulse Initial Stage, and killed another one at the sa level.
But those were special circumstances.
The first fool voluntarily gave up his Heroic Spirits, effectively destroying his own strength.
The second was killed by his surprise attack.
If at that ti he had directly faced a Seventh Level Initial Stage Martial Master who possessed a Martial Soul and other battle spirits akin to Martial Souls, such as Ninja Spirits, he would have no chance of victory without using the Great Strength Divine Ape’s corpse, and his only option would be to escape.
But now it is different; even if facing a Martial Vein Seventh Initial Stage Martial Master head-on, he would not fear in the least, and if he were to bring forth his full strength, he would definitely have about a fifty percent chance of winning.
A Half-step Martial Master in the truest sense is a peak Sixth Layer Martial Artist who has at least five Martial Veins’ Gang Qi converted into True Essence.
He had the fighting power before, but it wasn’t technically counted.
Now, he is a true Half-step Martial Master.
"Let’s go, we’ll continue our mission today."
After casually eating sothing, the four-person squad left their hiding spot and advanced towards their next target.
Two or three miles ahead of them on their route lay a village.
This village, located near Yunkong City, was mostly populated by martial artists, but the strongest among them was only at the Martial Veins Triple Layer.
Of course, these people wanted to beco great martial artists one day, but currently, they used the power of martial artists to hunt and farm, truly making them bona fide peasants.
Their village had always been very peaceful, living in harmony with the world, hardly aware of the dangers around them, nor understanding how terrible the Dreamy Elixir could be.
Nor did they find other races fearso.
At dawn, a group of people arrived in the village, the leader of whom was referred to as "Boss" by the others.
These individuals were composed of both the Green-eyed Clan and the Ninja Clan, totaling over thirty, with the weakest among them being a Four-level Martial Artist, stronger than the strongest in the village.
"Capture the young won, kill all the others!"
The boss gave a gentle wave of his hand, revealing a cruel smile.
"Sir, sir, please show rcy, we really haven’t done anything wrong to you!"
The elderly village chief knelt down on the ground, begging for clency from the boss.
"Hahaha, you may not have done anything, but who told you to be of the Human Race? The Human Race deserves to die!"
The boss burst into laughter. Whenever he felt upset, he’d find a Human Race village and slaughter everyone in it.
Of course, young and beautiful won are to be taken away.
He had razed about a dozen villages, too lazy to even keep count anymore.
That Lin Ze once requested the ambassador from the Green-eyed Clan Embassy to hand him over.
But the ambassador did not listen to Lin Ze, only deducting one month’s pay as punishnt.
Even so, his hatred for the Human Race intensified; his actions did not subside but grew more extre.
This ti, the destruction of his Fantasy Pill Factory sent him into an uncontrollable rage, and naturally, he looked for a village to vent his fury on.
"Kill—!"
The boss revealed a maniacal smile.
Suddenly, a splendid firework soared into the sky, then burst apart.
Everyone knew that was a signal, but since many organizations used the sa kind of signal, the boss sitting there found it hard to determine which organization had sent it out.
Only disciples of the Hidden Dragon Camp knew that among the colors of the fireworks, there was a special one that belonged to Hidden Dragon Camp.
When the firework went up, a person erged from the jungle.
A robust figure, not quite human, appeared.
He was none other than Shi Lei, one of the vice commanders of the Hidden Dragon Camp.
Shi Lei was supposed to be teaming up with another vice commander, but they had just gotten separated in the woods.
When he arrived near the village, he happened upon mbers of the Green-eyed and Ninja Clans slaughtering villagers, so he sent out a distress signal and took a stand.
The adversaries were strong.
The boss was a Martial Vein Seventh Layer Peak Martial Master.
His two subordinates were Martial Pulse Seventh Level Initial Stage Martial Masters.
Facing three Seventh Layer Martial Masters, even Shi Lei knew he was in big trouble.
Being a Martial Pulse Seventh Level Initial Stage Martial Master himself, at most he could face off against soone of similar strength or slightly stronger, but under these circumstances, it was almost a certain death situation.
He took a stand not wanting the villagers to continue being massacred.
He also hoped that the distress signal would be seen by nearby Hidden Dragon Camp disciples or the Twelve Tiger Guards, who would co to the rescue.
"Is that a distress signal?"
With Ling Xiao’s keen perception, he naturally couldn’t fail to notice such a signal.
Especially since they were headed in that direction.
"Let’s go. As disciples of the Hidden Dragon Camp, we can’t stand by and watch others die!"
Ling Xiao did not hesitate and imdiately perford the Xiang Yun Bu, soaring into the air.
The other three, now following his lead without question, closely followed behind.
While flying, Ling Xiao had already entered the Soul Entry state, getting an approximate grasp of the situation there.
It would have been better not to look.
Upon seeing the situation, he bit his own gums until blood flowed.
"Despicable scum! They indeed deserve to die!"
It was bad enough that they used Illusory Pills to poison the Human Clan Martial Artists, but massacring civilians was utterly contemptible to Ling Xiao.
When he previously killed the Dreamy Elixir Seller, he had hesitated, wondering if it was the right thing to do, whether it was still possible to persuade them to turn to good.
But in that mont, he completely abandoned such thoughts.
These people, must be shown no rcy!
On that side, Shi Lei had encountered a great crisis.
At that ti, Shi Lei was caught between two Seventh Layer Initial Stage Martial Masters, while other Green-eyed and Ninja Warriors fired shots from the shadows.
