Chapter 2678: Chapter 2698: Petty Tricks? How’s the Taste?

Liu Junru covered the retreat, leading the entire demon race team to swiftly move backward, soon approaching the trap area.

Already alerted by hidden teammates, Liu Junru flashed through the trap area without stopping.

Baled and others followed closely, rushing into the continuous mountain ranges.

"Boom!"

As the hidden Artifact Refiners detonated all the Explosive Talismans set up earlier, hundreds of them exploded simultaneously, creating numerous intersecting blast waves.

Previously observing Liu Junru’s reluctance to engage in battle and now with many injuries and deaths, Baled believed Liu Junru was retreating out of cowardice, failing to suspect that Liu Junru had been prepared and set up an ambush behind them.

Fortunately, those who chased the most urgently were some of the strongest from the Barbarian Tribe. Facing the sudden explosion, they each burst into glistening golden light, with their Protective Shields brutally blocking the blast.

Although the explosives were powerful, people like Baled had rich combat experience, and their defensive power was always ready even during the chase, so despite the massive shockwave and some of the Barbarian pursuers getting injured, the extent of the injuries was quite limited.

Baled roared, "Liu Junru, you dare not face the battle and only resort to such petty tricks?"

Before Baled could finish his mockery, an Array Formation between Heaven and Earth activated instantly.

Purple thunderbolts fell from the sky with gales sweeping ahead and blazes engulfing the rear, instantly wrapping all the fastest pursuing Barbarian powerhouses within.

Baled was shocked to find that apart from explosives, there was also a mighty Array Formation—and actually three of them!

"Defend! Break through!"

Baled reacted quickly, throwing his massive axe into the sky, which emitted a golden light that dispelled the approaching blaze, covering himself and several others with its radiance.

Others scattered about also sacrificed their Magical Treasures. These people were incredibly powerful, and their Defense Treasures held up against the onslaught!

Lin Chen, situated within the Eight Desolates Fire Spirit Formation, watched the rapidly reacting people and inwardly marveled, acknowledging that they were indeed the top powerhouses of this competition, with both their strength and Magical Treasures being formidable!

Lin Chen naturally would not let them break through the Formation so easily. With a cry of the Fire Phoenix, a massive Fire Phoenix rose from the flames like undergoing Nirvana, spreading huge fiery wings and pouncing toward everyone.

Baled’s face turned pale at the sight of the approaching Fire Phoenix.

"Phoenix Fire Spirit, be careful!"

The Phoenix Fire Spirit, carrying a sky-full of fierce flames, slammed directly and fiercely into the Protective Shields of the people.

Their glistening Protective Shields shattered under the intense heat of the impact.

Just as the Protective Shields broke, Lin Chen appeared like a flame-composed ghost not far from them, and the Sun Real Fire instantly gathered into a line of fire that swept swiftly over them.

Lin Chen’s Sun Real Fire, hidden amongst the sky-full Phoenix Fire, was not noticeable, but its terrifying aura instantly caught Baled’s attention.

Baled’s eyes widened as he shouted, "Be careful!"

While warning, a black jade pendant on Baled’s chest suddenly lit up, radiating light like a sphere, beaming outward, intent on enveloping everyone around him again.

The light from the black jade pendant radiated from the inside out, while the red fire line swept in from the outside with great speed.

The Barbarian man, who was at the edge and most affected by the Phoenix Fire Spirit’s impact, hadn’t even recovered when the fire line had already swept over his neck.

His head fell off his neck, but being a Daluo Ultimate Immortal with formidable life force, the head had only rolled halfway before it flew up, trying to rejoin with the falling body to connect the severed parts.

Lin Chen, with eyes like a Fire God, glanced at the head, and the intent of Solar Truefire immediately enveloped it. The head instantly caught fire.

The domineering Sun Real Fire could not be withstood by the Barbarian whose head had been severed and whose strength was greatly weakened.

In an instant, his head was thoroughly burnt inside out by the Sun Real Fire.

Flames burst out of all his orifices, and his agonizing hiss was cut short almost before it began.

A golden Light-shadow, looking like a ghost, fled from the head and turned into a beam of light that instantly entered the Light Shield raised by the black jade pendant around Baled’s neck.

Lin Chen did not pursue further; as he ignited the head of the Daluo Ultimate Immortal in an instant, he reached out and the badge hanging from the falling body immediately flew out, landing in Lin Chen’s hand.

Killing was not the objective; snatching the badge was the goal.

Once the badge was in hand, whether the person was still alive or in the Nascent Soul State, they would all be eliminated from the Formation!
