Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Assassination from the Undead

Just as Fang Jie couldn’t figure out what was up with those Undead, those Undead creatures couldn’t understand what was going on with Fang Jie either.

All one could say was that, when one first arrived at the All Heavens Hunting Ground, the world’s support for an individual was indeed a bit too powerful.

At this moment, those Devourers dared not attack recklessly. The Devourers they created were already few to begin with; who would be willing to waste them in such a place? Therefore, seeing the loss was so great, the other side could only choose to back off.

The others nearby glanced at the retreat but said nothing.

After all, there was mutual wariness, and indeed they had all actually made a move in silence just now, so it was not wrong to choose to back off in this situation.

If the other side didn’t do this, they would have found it strange. Unfortunately, there were still more than two thousand left that hadn’t been eliminated. However, thinking about Fang Jie’s response earlier, the others were pensive.

Perhaps with this method, they could deal with those Devourers.

Humans are indeed humans; truly cunning to have thought of such a method so quickly.

They were certain that Fang Jie had never encountered Devourers before, or else the first battle would not have seen a perfect Devouring of ten thousand enemies. Those Gold level troops were all quite strong.

Fang Jie felt more at ease once he saw the opposing forces retreat.

"The myriad worlds are full of wonders, I never imagined such terrifying troop types existed. Thankfully, they are not particularly harmonious amongst themselves, and those Devourers are not too numerous; otherwise, it would be troublesome."

One could imagine, if the other side had a hundred thousand Devourers, and if they were well-coordinated this time.

It’s likely that after a few exchanges, his own troop strength would be Devoured completely, and then he would have no choice but to flee. Those Devourers might not be agile, but their straight-line speed wasn’t slow either.

Besides, even if they were inadequate in other regards, if some fast flying creatures were to carry them, they would become quite agile.

But obviously, the other side had not thought of this strategy at all. It was also unclear whether this was because the masters of these Devourers no longer had more powerful aerial forces.

Looking over there, it was true that the strongest aerial forces on the other side were a kind of Flying Dragon, yet of a zombie type.

In terms of strength, these were weaker than his own enhanced Skeleton Flying Dragons.

Next in line was a type of eagle with three heads, but since it was made of bones, its original form was not discernible. That type of eagle was really fast though, and very agile in flight.

Just as Fang Jie was reflecting on this, a semicircular light suddenly lit up around him.

That was a Barrier, released through the combined efforts of his Gold level Ghost Mages. In an instant, the Ghost Mages began to flicker, a sign that their Magic Power was bursting forth at full capacity.

Even two Mages broke away immediately. Fang Jie turned around and saw, without knowing when, that three figures had appeared beside him. These three figures were dressed in hoods that concealed their faces.

But Fang Jie could tell that the figures were clearly some type of Undead Creatures of the ghost variety.

Right now, all three figures were aiming their daggers at him, initiating their attack.

Fang Jie broke out in a cold sweat, "Undead Assassins, so your real target was me all along." Fang Jie realized that this duel wasn’t really about those humans.

Of course, they could also understand that there was no point in killing the humans who had already abandoned their faith in the gods.

Originally, Fang Jie just thought the other side was acting out of caution, beating the bushes whether there was a snake or not. Now Fang Jie understood, the other side was aiming for him, because they knew he was human.

Perhaps at the start of the communications, they didn’t have this idea, but once his identity was revealed during the communication, it changed everything. They guessed that he would definitely come to the frontlines for this battle.

So they used some means to find his position and then sent the assassins to attack.

As everyone knows, once a Lord dies, their Territory is almost completely ruined.

Even if there’s a successor, how much can they really bring to bear? Moreover, many powerful beings will choose to leave immediately, as part of the rules.

Most crucially, it was a time to be conquering other worlds.

Once the Lord dies, leaving no successor, then a powerful competitor is lost completely.

Besides, many Undead inherently held no good thoughts towards humans; to eliminate one would be convenient. Good thing he had been very careful, using hundreds of Gold level Ghost Mages to create a Barrier.

The ones who just attacked him were three Legendary level assassins.

If his Barrier had been just a bit weaker, he would have been gone in that instant.

These cunning Undead were really insidious. Furthermore, to come up to his side undetected, their hiding abilities were indeed strong; he was surrounded by no small number of Legendary Undead for protection.

"Barrier in place, attack with all your might," the three Ghost Assassins said, irritated when they saw their attack blocked.

The previous attack had been covert, so the three hadn’t given their all; otherwise, an attack from three Legendary Experts would not have been blocked so easily by the Barrier.

Unfortunately, there was no longer a chance, as the Legendary Undead around had already reacted.

They all started attacking, directing their onslaught against the assailants. Legendary level strength was no ordinary power.

Ordinary attacks were very ineffective, and at times completely ineffective, against ghost-type enemies. But Legendary level strength could still have a full effect on these ghosts.

At Legendary level, the advantages that ghost-type creatures had in other aspects were almost completely negated.

In a head-to-head battle, those ghosts would be hard-pressed to compete with other enemies.

Seeing the three Ghost Assassins struggling to cope, Fang Jie silently increased the number of Ghost Mages around him, strengthening the Barrier further, and just watched the three Ghost Assassins.

The Ghost Assassins were exasperated, flustered to be outwitted by a human.

Unfortunately for them, there was no chance to attack Fang Jie now, and breaking through the Barrier would be difficult.

Especially with a huge group of enemies around them madly attacking, even throwing their lives away. Under such circumstances, they couldn’t possibly escape, even with their race’s advantage in speed.

Fang Jie watched as, after a long hard battle, the three Ghost Assassins’ strength was nearly depleted.

It wasn’t because their energy reserves were weak, but because their ghostly makeup was unique. Each attack they performed could use their Magic Power to recover themselves, but each time they were injured, their Magic Power reserves would decrease continuously, draining faster.

Although they had the advantage of recovery, their staying power was inferior under these conditions.

However, if they were replaced with other Undead, they probably would have been dissected by now.
