Chapter 500: Chapter 364: The Conjunctive Body Protection Charm_2

He had just exerted some effort to capture a Tier-5 Spirit Insect when a sudden scream echoed from the Disciples from Poor Families behind him. Bart roared furiously, "Someone’s launching a sneak attack!"

Inside the Zombie Cave, cultivators would naturally kill each other - this scenario was expected by all. But our team has a high number of members, who would have the audacity to cause us trouble?

Owen Bertram turned to look, a soft rustling noise coming from the dark vegetation in the distance indicated the person launching the illicit attack was trying to flee quickly. Bart quickly checked the injured member and exclaimed in shock, "A Divine Slayer Breaker!"

If a Divine Slayer Breaker was involved, there’s a high likelihood that the sneak attack was launched by someone from the Horizon Bureau.

Owen Bertram, familiar with Divine Slayer Breakers, quickly pulled out his. It’s a reworked version of the original weapon, inspired by the crossbow that his older brother had given him. The weapon had already been equipped to the Divine Heavenly Soldier, so Owen Bertram was very satisfied with it and made an extra one for himself.

How should this version of the Divine Slayer Breaker be called? Maybe ’Metal Storm Edition Divine Slayer Breaker’? Whatever the name, its power was undoubtedly improved.

Owen Bertram raised his Metal Storm Edition Divine Slayer Breaker and fired towards the direction of the rustling noises. He didn’t need to aim, the firearm covered a wide range. Aiming was unnecessary, to do so would be a sign of mistrust in the firearm’s capabilities!

Whiz whiz whiz whiz—

The impoverished Cultivators only saw countless bright spots streaming out from Owen’s hand at top speed!

Wherever these bright spots fell, everything they hit—be it Demon Plants, Spirit Insects or assassins—were knocked over and shattered by the continuous hail of crossbow arrows...

Owen Bertram slightly rotated his wrist, the Metal Storm Edition Divine Slayer Breaker sweeping across in its path, clearing out an area about thirty feet wide and dozens of feet long in the dark vegetation.

It was truly a blank area, everything inside was shattered.

Then the sound of the fleeing assassin ceased.

The impoverished Cultivators were left with mouths agape as they witnessed the clearing he’d made, they were so surprised they could lose their eyeballs. What magical instrument was this?! They were indeed poor, devoid of any valuable magical instruments. They had seen the descendants of great families flaunting various so-called "treasures", but compared to this thing Owen Bertram had, nothing else mattered!

Bart was more excited than anyone, exclaiming how accurate his judgement had been in aligning with such a powerful ally. He beckoned Glenn Mitchell, "Come with me to check if the assassin is dead..."

Owen Bertram interrupted him: "No need, it would be a waste of time."

Bart suggested, "Sir, we should still find out who the assassin was."

Owen Bertram put away his Metal Storm Edition Divine Slayer Breaker and waved dismissively, "In such a dangerous place as the Extinction Domain, a suspicious assassin who chose us—a large group—over solitary cultivators popped up. What other reason could there be? It’s just a trick to lure the enemy. We don’t need to pay attention to that. We should follow my lead and execute our own plan."

Bart still felt uneasy, "We still need to clarify the original cause, in case they have other plots, we must be prepared."

"If they have the strength to genuinely threaten us under normal circumstances, why would they need such a trick? So, there is no need to care."

Bart thought about it, and it made sense. Ignoring their tricks and not responding would prevent falling into their trap, and ensuring a winning position: "Sir is wise."

Owen Bertram had already started to find the next Spirit Insect under the guidance of the Jade Cicada’s detection.

...

Nathan was waiting near the Demon Eye and grew impatient when he saw no sign of his men luring Owen Bertram’s team over: "What’s going on?"

Suddenly, a man came running frantically and nearly got bisected by a saw-toothed Demon Plant. Nathan scolded him, "What’s the rush?"

The man was trembling, "James is gone... Suddenly, it was like a whooshing sound, and he was gone, everything was gone..."

Nathan was angry and slapped him: "Be clear about what happened! You were supposed to meet up with James, why are you back here by yourself?"

After being hit, the man finally calmed down a bit and sat down on a stone nearby: "It’s not that I was scared, but it happened too fast! I only saw countless light points moving at speed impossible to react to. By the time I wanted to assist, James and his surroundings were already in pieces..."

He stuttered through his account of what had happened, then added tearfully, "We were supposed to lure the enemy deeper into the territory, but Owen Bertram didn’t even spare us a second glance, he didn’t fall for it!"

The others were shocked and then exchanged stunned glances. This tactic didn’t work.

Everyone turned to their leader, Nathan: "What should we do next?"

Nathan thought for a moment and said, "We all knew the risks when we decided to do this, now that James is dead, we’ll figure a way to commemorate him as a martyr, the Imperial Court will take care of the rest."

Attempting a sneak attack on someone of the Fifth Great Realm... You naturally need to be prepared for the possibility of being counterattacked and killed.

"Let’s stop thinking about James for now. We have to figure out a way to lure Owen Bertram to the Demon Eye," He glanced at the other four, "Daniel, it’s up to you four. Be ruthless this time, kill some of them!"
