Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Arrangements by All Parties (Long Chapter Please Bookmark, Vote for Monthly Tickets, and Subscribe)

He Ao’s gaze swept over, and at this moment, there were five C-level individuals from the World Tree faction wearing white garments with golden collars, led by the white-haired elderly man.

On the other side, there were three more casually dressed individuals who also appeared to be C-level, led by the half-naked blond man.

"Sloane, Rudel," Liu Zhengyun’s gaze swept over the blond man and the white-robed elder, "we made an agreement before not to step into each other’s territory."

"Sloane is the vice president of Moonlight, a Transcendent organization of the Tia Empire, and Rudel is an elder of the World Tree,"

Wu Lan’s voice reached He Ao’s ears, "Because the impact of B-level individuals is too great, all the major organizations had previously reached an agreement not to enter each other’s territories randomly."

"There wasn’t any enforced agreement?"

He Ao asked quietly.

"Who can enforce an agreement on these B-levels?"

Wu Lan shrugged.

An agreement without a price is just a piece of paper that can be torn up anytime.

He Ao shook his head and whispered, "Thank you."

"No worries~" Wu Lan’s voice suddenly became sultry, "If you really want to thank me, do you have time to go online and play some games with me after this is over, Brother He Ao~"

"Go online?"

He Ao was startled.

"Go to an esports hotel to surf the internet," Ji Po’s muffled laughter came through, "the kind with a big bed and lots of toys."

"Cough cough..." Yang De’s voice interjected into the channel, "Wu Lan, don’t discuss these things on the public channel in the future, private messages will do."

"Alright, alright, I got it," Wu Lan’s voice was coquettish and sticky, as if leaning into He Ao’s ear and whispering softly, "Little brother, let’s go online together when you have time."

He Ao: ...

The last one to invite him in a similar fashion was Dancing Girl Qi Ke in the Copy World, and now her corpse has been blown to ashes by his good friend.

Moreover, it was quite obvious that Wu Lan’s skills were not up to Dancing Girl’s standards, after all, Dancing Girl was professional in these matters.

Of course, He Ao’s mind was also filled with a plethora of memories about Alisel from Dawn City.

In the materialistic Dawn City, where money could dictate everything, there was no end to the tricks of Miss Alisel’s play.

And most of these memories were from old man Regit, who in his youth was known as ’Iron Body’.

Wu Lan, looking at He Ao’s unmoved expression from a distance, felt somewhat deflated.

She just wanted to see the blushing and flustered look of a little brother being teased; He Ao’s calm and experienced demeanor made her lose her enjoyment. She even had an illusion that He Ao could turn around and tease her in return.

However, it seemed that He Ao had no such intentions.

"Enough chit-chat, these people are ill-intentioned," Yang De’s deep voice arose, "If a fight breaks out later, prioritize protecting the tent stakes, fall back if you can’t, and don`t fight to the death."

"Five from World Tree, three from Moonlight,"

Ji Po laughed, "They surely didn’t expect Brother He Ao when they came. Eight against three, are they pulling out all the stops? They really are giving us too much credit.

"But why don’t I see that Berserker from Moonlight? Isn’t he claimed to be the best below B-level in the world? I really wanted to meet him."

"The Berserker was killed a few days ago, killed by a single blow,"

Yang De answered his question gravely.

"Who did it?"

Wu Lan was somewhat surprised.

"Intelligence shows it was Hu Wen; it happened shortly after we left. That guy is causing quite a stir in Alano now."

Yang De explained slowly.

"Hu Wen? Wasn’t he severely injured by Brother He Ao? He still had the capability to kill the Berserker?"

Ji Po’s originally dull voice also carried a clear surprise.

"I don’t know how they managed to do it, but be extra careful when going out on missions in the future," Yang De said softly, "Especially you, He Ao. Hu Wen was seriously injured by you, and given his nature, he will surely look for an opportunity to take revenge. If there’s any problem, make sure to contact us."

"Sure."

He Ao nodded lightly.

Everyone was chatting casually through their earpieces as if they were in a tea room, but in reality, every muscle was tensed up, vigilantly watching the distant enemies.

The jokes over the public channel were just an intentional distraction by these experienced colleagues to relieve He Ao’s tension.

Although He Ao had achieved the glory of a double kill, his files indicated that he hadn’t engaged in many battles, let alone one where he was surrounded by twice as many C-level combatants.

On the battlefield, what often affects a rookie the most isn’t proficiency, but nerves.

When people get nervous, they can easily lose control, and their true strength is greatly diminished.

While He Ao’s colleagues from the overseas department were trying to relieve the ’tension’ of this newbie, the B-level conversation between Liu Zhengyun, Moonlight, and World Tree continued.

"Liu, your Research Institute already has three B-levels; obtaining one more B-level Transcendent item doesn’t seem quite appropriate, does it?"

Sloane said gravely, his voice betraying a hint of apprehension towards Liu Zhengyun. Despite the clear advantage, he did not immediately take action but rather formed a standoff with Liu.

His Central Earth language wasn’t fluent, carrying a peculiar monotone.

"The treasures of the world have always belonged to the virtuous,"

Liu Zhengyun snorted coldly, still pressing one hand on the Velora, his tone flat and slow, "Besides, this vehicle arrived on the territory of the Research Institute. You had your chance before, not that you didn’t seize it. Have you ever heard of a burglar breaking into someone else’s yard and then saying, ’you have so much gold in your house already, keeping this piece doesn’t seem quite right, does it?’"

"We all know you have a sharp tongue, Liu, just not sure if your hands are equally capable."

Clearly unable to outtalk Liu Zhengyun, Sloane chose to cut the argument short.

"Enough talk, he’s stalling for time to control this vehicle. Let’s fight."

The white-robed Elderly beside him, Rudel, drew out a Magic Wand as tall as a person with many strange patterns etched onto it from the edge of his motorcycle.

This old man seemed a bit hot-tempered.

Watching Rudel raise the Magic Wand, a yellow glow gathered atop it, and then the white-robed Elderly leaped up, swinging the Magic Wand down towards Liu Zhengyun’s head.

Some kind of head-smashing Magic Wand.

This action immediately set off the entire battlefield.

Forced to raise his hand to catch the Magic Wand, Liu made his control of the Velora weaker.

Boom!

At that moment, a huge roaring sound echoed in everyone’s ears, and the ground itself seemed to tremble.

A massive crack ran under everyone’s feet, attempting to send all the tent pegs flying in one go.

"Stop!"

Liu Zhengyun, in the midst of catching the Elder’s Magic Wand, saw this and stomped the ground, halting the great fissure right down its middle.

"Liu, I’m really curious about what your talent is, knowing so many things."

Sloane, standing at the start of the crack, chuckled, bent his knees, and like a cannonball, hurtled towards Liu Zhengyun.

"Then come and find out for yourself."

Liu’s hand collided with the Elder’s Magic Wand, pausing both men momentarily.

Liu squatted, and the Elder staggered backward.

At this moment, Sloane quickly joined the fray.

Now Liu Zhengyun no longer had the energy to continue suppressing the train.

In an instant, the responsibility to hold the Velora fell back into the hands of He Ao and his group.

The eight C-level adversaries quickly divided into four squads, charging toward the four holding down the tent pegs.

The first to rush at He Ao was a frail-looking man wielding two daggers, leaping rapidly towards him.

He Ao, one hand holding down a tent peg, raised the other, blades of grass cut in half, as a white light pierced through the underbrush.

The white light streaked past the thin man’s arm, instantly carving out a wound deep enough to reveal the bone.

Almost simultaneously as the man was injured, the white light also fell into He Ao’s hands.

It was a bone sword, pristine and crystalline, its sharp blade reflecting a faint cold gleam.

This bone sword had been obtained by He Ao from the ruins; he had it shipped over because it was too conspicuous to carry on his back during the ambush.

He had asked Yang De for a sturdy thin rope, one end tied to the hilt and the other to his hand, and then placed the sword in the grass nearby so that it could be held or thrown as needed.

Of course, He Ao could have carried the sword in the Pirate Treasure Box.

When He Ao retrieved the Pirate Treasure Box, he was seen, and afterwards, he reported the abilities of the Pirate Treasure Box honestly, and Yang De didn’t ask for it back.

After he became the deputy minister, the object naturally came into his possession.

The inherent ability of the Pirate Treasure Box was to serve as a storage space for Transcendent items, but to retrieve one Transcendent item, another had to be put in, or else it would cost a piece of soul.

However, He Ao could use his Miracle Magic "Retrieve objects from the air" to bypass this rule, directly stuffing things in and taking them out.

Exposing this ability meant he’d have one less trump card for deceiving others, so unless absolutely necessary, he still needed to keep it hidden.

But back to the matter at hand.

"Ah!!!"

The thin man who had been slashed by He Ao shouted after being injured and suddenly quickened his pace,

rushing towards He Ao like a gust of wind.

He didn’t attack He Ao’s body, but the hand that was pinning down the tent peg.

A man with a scar on his face grinned behind him and reached out towards He Ao, gripping fiercely.

In an instant, an external force grabbed He Ao’s wrists, pulling them together involuntarily.

Both assailants aimed for the hands, trying to break He Ao’s control over the tent peg.

He Ao exerted force fiercely, his muscles under his clothes bulging layer by layer, the energy stored within his body erupting suddenly.

He forcefully broke free of the external force binding his wrists, twisted his body, and thrust out his sword, blocking the short blade coming from the left hand of the thin man.

Then, he pushed against the short blade and pulled it forcefully, using the thin man’s left-hand short blade to block the right-hand short blade aimed at his elbow from above.

At this moment, a more tremendous force came from the tent peg, and He Ao had to focus most of his mind on keeping the peg pinned down.

Meanwhile, he pressed against the dual blades with his bone sword and gave a sharp shake, flinging the thin man in front of him through the air.

The immense external force was still affecting his hands, like an invisible shackle wrapped around his wrists.

The scar-faced man, seeing He Ao break free from his control, showed surprise on his face.

He abruptly stretched out his other hand and clenched it forcefully.

He Ao immediately felt the external force on his wrists intensify, causing his movements to slow down momentarily.

Then, a new force appeared on his ankles, attempting to ’shackle’ his feet.

He Ao looked up at the scar-faced man, who showed a sinister smile back at him,

and then retreated a few steps.

In that instant, the thin man who had been flung by He Ao charged once more, wielding his twin blades, cutting towards the wrist that He Ao used to pin the tent peg.

He Ao turned his body with difficulty, and with a backhand thrust, he stabbed his sword towards the thin man’s chest, attacking as his defense.

The bone sword was longer than the short blades. As both were swung, it was obvious that He Ao’s sword tip would reach first.

Yet the thin man didn’t fully defend, barely blocking He Ao’s bone sword with his right hand to slightly alter its path, continuing with his left hand to slash towards the tent peg.

Sizzle—

The bone sword pierced the thin man’s right chest, splashing blood with a yellow glow.

The thin man’s curved blade was also about to slice He Ao’s wrist.

At that instant, He Ao gave up resisting the external force on his wrists and let them be pulled in.

The immense force directly pulled He Ao, who was holding the bone sword, through the air at high speed, striking the curved blade in a flash.

The tremendous impact made the curved blade emit a buzzing sound like a bee’s hum, and at the place where the curved blade collided with the sword edge, a tiny crack suddenly appeared.

"Ah!"

The frail man failed to land his blow and let out another roar, blood gushing from his right chest, but he seemed to be completely unaware of it.

He wielded another curved blade, slashing at He Ao with the frenzy of a madman.

At this moment, the pushing force of the tent stakes erupted again, reaching nearly the intensity they had previously managed to suppress without Liu Zhengyun’s help.

He Ao glanced at Liu Zhengyun’s side of the battle using his peripheral vision.

Liu Zhengyun was managing to fight two opponents without falling behind, but his hand had already moved away from the train.

This indicated that the two opponents were also putting a lot of pressure on him, and if the fight dragged on, it might become increasingly unfavorable.

He Ao took another look at the situation around him.

Wu Lan was almost being pressured into a purely defensive fight,

Ji Po was obscured by the train, but judging by the movements of his shadow, his condition didn’t seem to be good either.

Yang De was still barely holding on, but as the pushing force on the tent stakes grew stronger, Yang De’s situation was also getting worse.

The frail man in front of He Ao swung his blades at him again.

He Ao barely managed to block the two scimitars, his thoughts racing.

Did the Research Institute bring many people?

Not many, just four C-level from the overseas department.

Doesn’t the Research Institute have any other personnel?

Impossible.

Even though this train was within the Research Institute’s sphere of influence, Velora was effectively on the edge of their territory, and the World Tree could easily infiltrate.

But why did the Research Institute only send one B-level and four C-level operatives?

That was the maximum configuration that could suppress the Velora.

If there was any disturbance, like now, it could easily lead to failure.

The strategic purpose of the World Tree and Moonlight was not hard to discern.

In the best-case scenario, they would seize the Velora; at the least, they would let the Velora escape, preventing the Research Institute from obtaining it.

According to the Research Institute’s records, they had three B-level, while the World Tree and Moonlight only had two each.

At this point, if the World Tree and Moonlight had brought together two B-levels, then they must each have one staying at home...

He Ao touched the Miracle Wand at his waist.

The B-level Miracle ’Mountain Collapse Tsunami’ of the Miracle Wand was currently at two-fifths completion.

——

Inside the train

He Ao observed the Array around him.

In his mind, the Array etched into the front of the train overlapped with a part of the Array he had ’seen’ from the little red bead.

"Brother Hao Yi, have you discovered anything?"

Lin Chichi looked up at He Ao.

She vaguely felt that there was some kind of tug-of-war happening outside the train.

Based on her observations along the way, this train did not wish for any ’player’ to survive.

The moment the train gained freedom would be their time of death.
