Chapter 443: Chapter 220: Trap, Dead End?_2

Are these the fleeing wraiths? Or...

"Trap." Long Dangdang spoke in a low and gloomy voice. At this point, he and his companions had already dismounted their azure rocs, and were standing next to Ling Menglu, whose great magic was in the process of recovery.

A ray of icy blue light shot out, aiming straight for the undead in the distance. It was the Ice Thunder Spear that Yue Li had just completed. Under the blinding flash of electricity, the Ice Thunder Spear arrived almost instantly, as fast as lightning.

But, the undead at the center suddenly raised its hand and caught the Ice Thunder Spear. At the moment when the ice explosion and thunder were about to erupt, a pitch-black light spread from its palm, covering the entire spear, and extinguishing all the magic elements on it.

You have to understand, this is a dual-element single-target attack magic that can reach the 7th Rank! But it was easily snuffed out. What kind of power does the opponent possess?

Li Hongche also realized the problem. This emergency mission now appeared more like a fishing trap.

Dozens of undead slowly surrounded them. To escape? It was too late for that now.

Without any hesitation, Li Hongche activated the Seed Spirit Crystal on his body and sent out a distress signal. However, this place was a wilderness, far from the city. Given the communication capabilities of the Seed Spirit Crystal, even if the distress signal could be sent back, the relief would probably take about an hour to arrive.

Li Hongche took a deep breath, a trace of desperation flashing through his eyes. The day he became a demon hunter, he was already prepared to sacrifice himself at any time. He just hadn’t expected this day to come so soon; they had only recently been promoted to Commander Class demon hunting team, and had a bright future ahead of them.

"Everyone come to me." Li Hongche shouted. The team’s priest, not far behind him, was adding one supporting magic buff after another to him.

The 7th Rank red-robed bishop priest, using his Insight Eye, spoke in a heavy voice. "There are four 8th Rank undead among the enemy, six 7th Rank ones amongst the remaining undead, and the rest are 6th rank. They must have used some special equipment to conceal their identities earlier. We’re in trouble."

There was no rush to the dozen or so undead; they were still nearly three hundred meters away at this time, slowly making their way towards them. However, everyone knew that the moment they tried to escape, these undead would immediately launch their fastest attacks on them.

"Long Dangdang, Zisang Liuying, Li Yuqing, heed my command." Li Hongche remained unusually calm at this moment.

"Present." The three team leaders responded in unison.

Li Hongche took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice, "In a moment, my team and I will launch an all-out attack and hold them off at any cost. You immediately retreat on the azure rocs. Don’t worry about us. No turning back. Do you understand?"

Hearing his resolute voice, Long Dangdang and the others immediately got goose-bumps knowing that the Temple Knight, who was a bit arrogant towards them from the start, had made up his mind to sacrifice himself and his team. He had made his decision without a moment’s hesitation. Faced with four 8th Rank powerful undead and their minions, Demon hunter team 112117 would most certainly be annihilated, but he didn’t flinch.

"Team Leader Li..." Li Yuqing couldn’t help but exclaim anxiously.

Li Hongche smiled abruptly, his face shield opened, revealing a relieved smile, "Remember, according to the rules of the demon hunting team. If several demon hunting teams face danger together, the highest-ranking demon hunting team must strive to create an opportunity for the other teams to retreat, fearless in sacrifice! This is the tradition of the demon hunting team. Today it is us, maybe next time it will be you."

With that, his gaze swept over Zisang Liuying and Ling Menglu, "Earlier, we underestimated you because you were young. You are even better than I imagined. You all need to keep growing. And you did well before. Maybe this is the only way to prevent the departed heroes from being disturbed and certainly not allow them to destroy the human world that they once defended with their lives."

Having said this, his voice suddenly got louder, "The moment I charge out, you immediately retreat. There must be no mistake."

"Boom-" A dull thud erupted from him, a brilliant red glow igniting around his body.

No one was more familiar with this glow than Long Dangdang. It was undeniably the glimmer of sacrifice, the ignition of one’s own spiritual power, as well as the flame of one’s own life.

Red flames burned atop his silvery armor, and Li Hongche’s aura elevated crazily. His teammates beside him, from beginning to end, did not say a word. Each of their gazes was resolute and unwavering. Yes, this was who the demon hunters were – those who took it upon themselves to protect the Federation and mankind.

Li Hongche turned back one last time, looking at Long Dangdang. "Team Leader Long. We are both knights. If, and I mean if, in the future, your strength is sufficient, please try to reclaim the mithril cathedra armor for me. I can’t let you take it away now because without it, my power won’t be enough to hold these undead back. Please."

Among the four team leaders, he and Long Dangdang were knights. The mithril cathedra armor was more than just equipment for the Knights Temple, but also a symbol of the Knights.

"Team Leader Li." Seeing that Li Hongche had already turned around, Long Dangdang suddenly called out in a deep voice.

Li Hongche frowned tightly. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly found that someone else had joined him at his side, standing shoulder to shoulder with him. It was none other than Long Dangdang. Then, he saw a spirit furnace emerge from Long Dangdang’s chest, pristine white like jade. Following that, two more spirit furnaces floated and came to his side.

The three spirit furnaces overlapped instantly and fell onto him abruptly. A crystal-clear, ice-blue armor emerged rapidly on his body along with his expanding physique. His aura began to skyrocket, and his eyes emitted a brilliant golden light.

What was this?

"You won’t lose the mithril cathedra armor." Long Dangdang’s voice rang out.

Gazing at the Icy Moon Angel, Long Dangdang, who was over a meter taller than him, Li Hongche was momentarily choked up. But a second later, he roared angrily, "Stop fooling around, prepare to retreat."

"We’re not going anywhere." Zisang Liuying’s cool voice resonated. Speaking softly, she said, "So many 8th Rank wraiths, how much merit is that!" As she spoke, she also made her way to Li Hongche’s other side. Her team’s knight had already taken a position at the front.

"If I fall in battle, please destroy my body at the first opportunity. Don’t let the wraith entities take it away," Li Yuqing said calmly.

To become a demon hunter was to not be afraid of death. They had all undergone countless trials, experienced the journey of righteousness at the Righteousness Hall. Deep within their hearts, they all held a firm belief – protection!

Although Li Hongche was anxious, a wave of warmth stirred within his soul.

At this moment, as though sensing the morale changes on the demon hunters’ side, more than a dozen undead on the opposite side suddenly moved.

Among the four 8th Rank undead, two who had not previously launched the dark cloud abruptly rose. Behind them, a pair of gray wings appeared on each of them. With a powerful flap, in the next instant, they rushed towards everyone, bringing a berserk wind with them.

The 8th Rank wraiths too, had Spirit Palisades.

Long Dangdang turned to look at Li Hongche and smiled, "Team Leader Li, one for each of us." Having said that, the two sets of light wings behind him flapped vigorously, and in the next moment, he shot out like a meteor.
