Chapter 1426: Chapter 1426: Enemies and Reinforcements

Late at night, a group from the Hunter’s Guild rushed forward under the leadership of a hunter; all their faces were tense, knowing the enemy was closing in from all directions.

Lin Yue clenched his teeth in the dark, not expecting to encounter enemy obstruction before they even got close to Dark City.

Lie Qi walked while observing their surroundings; his eyes could see special life energies, which he used to guide the group.

"Wait, there are over twenty different special life energies approaching from that direction; we can’t go there," Lie Qi said and everyone immediately took his advice, quickly altering their direction to bypass it.

However, Lie Qi’s next words brought a sense of despair to everyone, "It won’t work, they are over there too, and their life force is very strong."

Someone panicked, "There’s danger ahead and behind, don’t tell me there’s also danger following us."

"Sorry everyone, it looks like we’re surrounded," Lie Qi announced, sinking everyone’s heart to the bottom.

Although the dozen or so people here were the elite of the Hunter’s Guild, they knew they stood no chance against Organization X; they knew they couldn’t win head-on.

Everyone looked towards the hunter, the strongest among them and the reason they followed him; they hoped he could lead them to carve a path of blood.

But the hunter simply said indifferently, "What’s there to fear? If we dared to come, we knew what to expect."

Lie Huo snorted coldly, "We are prepared to fight gloriously in Dark City, not to fall in this desolate wilderness."

The others agreed with what Lie Huo said; even if they died, they wanted to turn Dark City upside down. That was their reason for being here.

"Good, that’s the resolve I hope to see," the hunter took a deep breath, then drew his sword readying for battle.

At that moment, the surrounding noises grew louder and figures moved quickly through the woods forming a circle around the Hunter’s Guild.

The Hunter’s Guild realized they couldn’t escape.

Xue Long, along with three other members of the Xue Clan approached with mockery, "It’s been a long time, hunter. Surprising that you’ve walked right into the trap, thinking you could challenge Dark City. Have you forgotten how you barely escaped with your life last time?"

Lin Yue responded contemptuously, "Have you forgotten how disgracefully you fled last time, tail between your legs?"

Hearing this, Xue Long’s face darkened with anger, "Brat, I’ll make you pay for that comment."

Lin Yue was even more dismissive, "As if I wouldn’t pay a price if I hadn’t said that."

Xue Sha grew impatient, "Stop talking nonsense. The East Nobles and Southern Aristocracy are almost here, and if we don’t act now, it’ll be hard to divide the merit."

"You’re right!" Xue Long snorted coldly. Just as he was about to give an order, he got interrupted, "You Western Nobles and Northern Aristocrat think to monopolize this, we won’t allow it."

A group rushed in, each face filled with high fighting spirit, looking like they were sure of their victory.

The Four Great Nobles were all present, vastly more powerful than the Hunter’s Guild; the fight would clearly be a one-sided slaughter.

The hunter looked at the emblems on their clothes and couldn’t help but laugh, "Gentlemen, it seems your hope for a fierce battle in Dark City will be disappointed, but beating the Four Great Nobles of Organization X, that can be achieved now."

"Alright, taking down all Four Great Nobles at once is acceptable too," the Hunter’s Guild prepared to fight back with all their might.

Lin Yue tensed up, his palms sweating; he knew they were unlikely to escape.

The hunter handed his sword to Lin Yue, his expression more solemn, "Just stand back later; I’ll carve the blood path for you. I might fall, but Jian Shen’s legacy must continue; you have to live and escape."

Hearing this, Lin Yue felt like he was about to become a deserter, struggling to accept it.

The other members also said, "Don’t worry, we will do our best to hold them off, Lin Yue, remember to avenge us in the future."

Xue Long was furious, "Joking? Do you think we will repeat past mistakes? This time, I assure you, Jian Shen’s descendants will not leave here; you and your disciple will both die."

The hunter’s eyes filled with a murderous intent as he recalled past experiences. His mentor had bravely covered his escape, ultimately overwhelmed and dying in Dark City.

"Today’s battle, I have two things to accomplish. The first is to carve a blood path for my disciple; the second is to avenge my master, and take you down, Xue Long," the hunter pointed his sword at Xue Long, his eyes filled with deadly seriousness.

Xue Long, confident in his overwhelming forces, scoffed, "I also assure you one thing, all descendants of Jian Shen will die by my hands, ending your lineage. Kill them all."

The other nobles panicked, "We need to agree first on how to divide the merits, especially the hunter’s head."

"Whoever kills him, claims it," Xue Long commanded, and the vampires around him stirred up, howling and lunging towards the Hunter’s Guild.

"Men, focus on taking down the hunter," the other nobles also sent out their forces, and suddenly over a hundred vampires converged from every direction.

Not only did the Four Great Nobles have many attackers, but they also had some men ambushed outside to prevent anyone from the Hunter’s Guild escaping.

Just as the two sides were about to collide, about to engage fiercely, suddenly those ambushed by the Four Great Nobles started screaming.

"What’s happening?" All the nobles were stunned, they immediately halted their advance and nervously scanned their surroundings as the cries of slaughter echoed.

The Four Great Nobles had at least fifty people ambushed outside, including over a dozen vampires, some capable of a fight, but now there was no sound of a real battle, only screams.

In just a short while, the screaming stopped, and the killing ceased, leaving an eerie silence. An invisible fear spread, and the members of the Four Great Nobles started to sweat nervously.

"Sorry for being a bit late as a collaborator; I didn’t mean to scare everyone." A man dragged a vampire out from the darkness and then, in front of the Four Great Nobles, threw the vampire into the middle of the field.

The hunter stared in shock at the man, hesitated for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh. An unexpected strong reinforcement had indeed arrived, the big boss.
