Monster Paradise - Chapter 372

Chapter 372

Bang!

A deafening blast was heard and half of Haitian City began to tremble .

The moment the swords collided with each other, the space within the region that was a few meters away was distorted . The remaining energy resembled waves, spreading everywhere .

It was the consequence of crashing into the immortal-level guardian . It was way more threatening than engaging in any of the battles with a holy fire-level .

Lin Jian immediately supported the protective shield, allowing all the Purple Crow new members behind him to be enveloped by it . If he did not do that, the new members who were only on holy fire-level would not be able to survive the encounter with such a high impact within that short a distance .

However, the effect on three of the fiends was not significant . They did not retreat at all . The Malachian Fiend paused for a moment and soon, it continued attacking the protective shield of the auction house as if it had nothing to do with the fight .

The layer of shield that already had cracks all over it became even more unstable right after the energy waves struck it . In addition to the Malachian Fiend's continuous blows, it seemed like the protective layer might break at any time .

Fei Yuan was worried that they might affect the auction and suggested, "We can't do our best here . Let's fight in the sky!"

Yang Yang then glanced at Lin Jian and the rest of them . Soon, he immediately nodded in agreement .

As soon as they were able to reach a consensus, the both of them immediately ascended into the sky and penetrated the cloud layers . A few moments later, growls that sounded like the rumbling of thunder were heard on top of the cloud layers .

At the auction, despite the crowd not being able to see how intense the battle was, the loud roar coming from outside could be clearly heard . So could their conversation in mid-air . All of them knew that they were being attacked by the Purple Crow and that they were all on immortal-level .

Many of them panicked . Even though they had never contacted one another, they had heard about what the scary Purple Crow had done before . Only a small number of them remained calm as they believed in Mystery’s ability to protect them . Meanwhile, a minority of them was confident in their own abilities .

"The Purple Crow is prepared for the fight . There must be more than one of them who's on immortal-level," Leng Yuexin said confidently in VIP room 3 .

"If they manage to break in, they'll definitely kill everyone here . " Lin Huang had stayed at the Purple Crow training camp before and he knew the organization well .

"Under normal circumstances, the regulators and the assistant of Haitian City will come over really soon . But it seems like the Purple Crow is ready for it . Otherwise, they won’t be so confident to go up against Mystery," Leng Yuexin guessed, lifting her head and staring at the dome of the auction .

"Do you mean that we won't have any backup?" Lin Huang frowned .

"At least for now, we won't have any . It's difficult to attack an A-grade foothold . However, if one's intention is only to slow down the regulators and assistants, it won’t be too difficult for the Purple Crow . "

"This is not good news…" Lin Huang helplessly realized that the world was so dangerous . Strange things always happened no matter where he went . He simply wanted to attend an auction but he was now caught in an unexpected rare attack by the Purple Crow .

He was now worried that if he happened to bump into any Purple Crow members that could recognize him, the secret of him faking his own death would be revealed . Mr . Fu had promised him that the Purple Crow would not look for trouble with him and his family anymore . Perhaps, it was only about the matter of him joining the Purple Crow training camp .

If Hong Zhuang found out that he was still alive, she would most likely give him trouble . Lin Huang knew the woman very well and she would not let him go easily especially since the Purple Crow would not restrict the behavior of the elite members . Also, he was the one who had lied to Hong Zhuang, so it would now be considered their personal issue and had nothing to do with the Purple Crow . It was definitely not a good thing if the immortal-level noticed him .

"Why did the Purple Crow choose to attack them this year?" Lin Huang grumbled rhetorically .

"If I'm not mistaken, the Purple Crow must be here for the demigod brain . There's no other reason for them to get into a fight . " Leng Yuexin thought that Lin Huang was asking her a question . She pondered for a while and answered, "Many of the powerful organizations have considered the demigod relics as a valuable treasure . The value of a demigod material will be deemed even higher . The item is actually quite appealing to the Purple Crow . Therefore, they have instructed the people who are on immortal-level to take it away . I suspect that the people on imperial-level from the Purple Crow are there to control the entire battle…"

A cracking sound was heard and the huge protective shield eventually collapsed after being repeatedly attacked by the Malachian Fiend .

Before the three fiends could enter the auction hall, an old man with white hair blocked their way . He was skinny and dressed in a Chinese traditional costume with black designs . He was less than 1 . 7 meters tall, even shorter than the female fiend . He had prominent cheekbones and skinny arms . He looked like he was malnourished . Compared to him, the low-level fiend and the Malachian Fiend resembled two small mountains .

"The three of you shall stop here . " Impressively, the old man was the guard of Mystery's warehouse, Hou Xu .

After finishing his sentence, Hou Xu struck a blow in the air . Without even touching them, he had rained three blows on the chest of three of the fiends at almost the same time . In the next moment, the fiends were thrown into the air as though bullets had been fired .

He had well mastered his power . The fiends created a parabolic curve mid-air and fell into the sea that was more than 10 kilometers away .

Clap clap clap . . .

The sound of applause was heard . The one who clapped his hands was another immortal-level Purple Crow member, Lin Jian .

"You are skilled indeed," Lin Jian complimented .

"They’re just three gold flame-level monsters . Despite the fact that they’re fiends, their combat strength is relatively weak . " It meant nothing to Hou Xu . Again, he clasped his hands behind his back and studied Lin Jian . He could sense that he was on immortal-level as well . His intuition told him that it would not be easy to deal with him .

"You must be the guard of the warehouse . Only now you show up? Perhaps, you're done cleaning up the warehouse?" Lin Jian adjusted his glasses, gazing at the Emperor's Heart Ring on Hou Xu's left middle finger .

"Whatever you want is all in here . Do you want to take it from me?" Hou Xu then flipped Lin Jian his left middle finger . He smiled while wiggling his finger .

"Is the demigod in there too?" Lin Jian frowned and asked . The conversation went well and it sounded like two old friends chatting .

"Of course . Do you want it?" Hou Xu wagged his middle finger again .

"That's great . I can save me some time . I've heard that it's difficult to unlock Mystery's warehouse . It'll now be easier because . . . I only need to kill you…" Before he could even finish his sentence, Lin Jian disappeared abruptly…
