Chapter 209: The Most Deeply Hidden Person

The young man was defeated!

After two breaths of deadlock, the young man was beaten back once again, and fell down the flight of stairs.

The monstrous youngster quickly stood up again, and looked up at the four templar knights, his heart felt powerless.

It was different from the first time, the second time the young man had charged up, he had exhausted his full strength, yet was still defeated. 

“This is the power of battle qi!”

Human bodies were far weaker than beast ones, but with the protection of battle qi, they could block the silver level bear claws and greatly increase their bodily essence, allowing them to withstand the monstrous youngster’s strength.

Sound wave attacks were also blocked by battle qi, and were useless.

The four templar knights were only iron levels, and only had iron battle qi. If it was silver level battle qi, it could be used to both protect the body while simultaneously imbuing their weapons and armor, making them even stronger.

“It seems that the fourth floor doesn’t restrain battle qi, as long as we charge through, we can also use battle qi!” Zong Ge rushed over and witnessed the young man getting punted down in its entirety.

“Correct.” The monstrous youngster took a breath, and charged for a third time.

Unlike before, this time he had Zong Ge behind him.

Liquid acid sprayed onto shields and swords clashed with each other, the four templar knights’ coordinated defense knocked back the monstrous youngster back again. 

Then under the youngster enormous shadow, Zong Ge charged.

But he had lost all of his armor, and against four pairs of hands, he had to retreat wounded after the first clash.

“Father, let me through!” The big guy ran over and saw the monstrous youngster falling onto the floor, causing him to become exceedingly indignant.

“Be careful! Protecting yourself is vital!” The monstrous youngster’s face changed as he promptly warned.

But the big guy puffed out his chest, stepped onto the stairs, and with his hands, pried open the door.

“Courting death!” The four templar knights exploded in anger, and two of them swung their battle qi infused swords at the big guy’s heart. The other two lifted their shields to protect themselves and to block the big guy’s attacks.

If the battle qi empowered swords pierced his heart, the big guy would certainly die.

At that critical moment, the monstrous youngster rushed over and yanked the big guy’s clothes back.

The big guy suddenly jerked back, causing the templar knights’ swords to puncture his chest, but not reach his heart.

As the big guy tumbled to the ground, the monstrous youngster continued to attack. 

At the same time, Zong Ge’s eyes gleamed, he leapt into the air, used the big guy’s head to reach a higher altitude, then dove at the four templar knights.

“I don’t think so!” At that crucial juncture, the four templar knights swiftly responded.

Three of them dealt with the monstrous youngster, while the last intercepted the half beastman in the air.

The young man and Zong Ge were beaten back again!

The increase to battle strength battle qi empowerment gave was too much.

During this deadlock, other companions charged up the stairs.

They wanted to go up, but the young man shouted at them to stop, “Don’t be impulsive!”

With just their human flesh, these people would be reduced to ghosts by the templar knights and sacrifice themselves in vain, they could not help the situation in any way.

“Dammit!” Zong Ge’s wound was constantly bleeding, but he ignored it.

His eyes glowered at the four templar knights, his mind burning with battle intent, “How can we charge through?”

If he had battle qi, these four templar knights wouldn’t be worth looking at.

Even if he didn’t have battle qi, if this battle was on equal grounds, he had many ways of dealing with their joint attacks.

“On the one hand, the four floor doesn’t restrict battle qi. On the other hand, they have the advantage of terrain!” Zong Ge analyzed.

“The flight of stairs is very narrow, War Merchant was a goblin, and was the only one in the control hub, thus these stairs were a comfortable size for him.

“But we humans have to go up one at a time, and cannot attack as two.”

The sturdy stairs could not be destroyed, and they were too narrow.

The monstrous youngster could only continue to charge, and they couldn’t use their advantage of numbers.

Previously, they had relied on their position to safely defend against the attacking beast groups. But now they wanted to overcome this very barrier, and attack the fourth floor.

Snap!

Lightning suddenly crashed down, striking a comrade.

The comrade was turned to ash, and the closeness of his death devastated everyone.

They had to force their way up, otherwise if they stayed on the third floor, the lightning would strike them sooner or later!

But charging one by one only played into the enemy’s strength.  

They were at their wits’ end.

Everyone’s heart sank into hopelessness.

“I have a way!” Yet at that moment, Zong Ge suddenly spoke. With bright eyes, he gazed at the big guy.

“What is it?” Someone immediately asked.

Zong Ge pointed at the blockhead, “He is a human catapult, let him throw us!”

Everyone stared blankly, this was barbarous stratagem!

But the monstrous youngster’s heart was moved, “A good idea!”

They were limited by the stairs, and could not use their numbers. But by using this method, they could rush the stairs at the same time.

The monstrous youngster was the strongest of them, but he couldn’t stand against the combined attacks of the four templar knights alone.

If someone was working with him, even if it was only a little, it could give the monstrous youngster the time and space, this was worth doing!

The blockhead wouldn’t listen to anyone else but the youngster’s commands.

“Child, we are depending on you. You must throw accurately!” The monstrous youngster reminded.

The big guy took a deep breath, them slapped his chest, “Watch me father!”

The monstrous youngster charged up the stairs again.

Zong Ge walked up to the giant, “Throw me first!”

The big guy bellowed, grabbed the half beastman, then threw him.

Ba thunk.

The half beastman flew into the ceiling, then fell to the floor.

“Good throw!” The half beastmanm badly battered, quickly stood back up, then walked back to the big guy, “Be a bit more accurate!”

The big guy threw him again.

This time it was on target.

The monstrous youngster was in the middle of the stairs, and when he saw that, he immediately charged.

He and Zong Ge coordinated implicitly, and for the first time, the four templar knights wavered.

But they had no time to increase their gains as Zong Ge was already falling.

After all, while he was in the air, it was very difficult to use his strength.

Zong Ge ran back to the giant, battle intent surging turbulently, and roared, “Continue throwing me, and not just me, the others too. We have to keep up our offensive, otherwise the other side’s defense will hold.”

“Block them!” Jia Sha bellowed, he was growing impatient and restless.

Thanks to his keen battlefield insight, Zong Ge had found the fault that would collapse their defenses.

Naturally, the four templar knights thought about killing the big guy for the greatest insurance.

They immediately used battle skills.

A moment later, a bright blade shot out.

The big guy dodged at once, and the blade light glanced at his waist, causing blood to bubble out.

The big guy snarled, and his eyes went red, a warning that he was about to go crazy.

“We’re finished!” Many people cried to themselves.

“Child!” The monstrous youngster roared.

The big guy stared blankly, then by some miracle, he regained his clarity.

He snarled again, and his movements accelerated. He grabbed Zong Ge again, and like a stone, threw him at the enemy.

One after the other, the comrades in arms flew into the air and charged at the four templar knights in an unending offensive.

With all of his strength, the monster youngster tangled with the four templar knights w

For a moment, the templar knights were distracted by the offensive and didn’t have the leisure to deal with the big guy.

Finally, the monstrous youngster swept through and opened up a gap. A comrade passed through the gap and fell onto the fourth floor.

However, before he could stand, he was impaled through the stomach.

It was Zhen Jin!

Zhen Jin had already killed the person, but his hand didn’t stop thrusting and he dotted the corpse with holes.

“Don’t forget about me!”

“With me here, how can you be arrogant? Do you think that if you get into the fourth floor that everything will be fine?”

I am a templar knight, a templar knight!”

“Ahaha, you will have the honor of dying by my hand.”

“Do you recognize reality? You dregs! Your rebellion shall be ended by me, why didn’t you obediently listen to my commands?”

Zhen Jin abused the corpse while wildly shrieking his venting feelings.

He burst into laughter, for previously, the monster youngster’s and others’ assault made him nervous and fearful, now it had been superseded by the ecstasy of victory and pride.

At that moment, everyone was focused on the stairs.

When they heard Zhen Jin’s braying, it just stimulated their battle intent further.

“Charge, keep charging!” Zong Ge bellowed repeatedly.

The big guy grabbed more companions, and kept tossing them.

“Don’t, don’t throw me.” Cang Xu was forced towards the big guy by the crowd.

The blockhead’s eyes were flushed red, and had already mechanized the motion of throwing people, thus he didn’t hear Cang Xu’s cries. He grabbed Cang Xu and threw him.

The old scholar was thin, thus his velocity was greater.

“How terrible!” When the monstrous youngster saw this, he promptly exerted himself in an attempt to save Cang Xu’s life.

But a templar knight used a battle skill and beat back the young man.

The old scholar wailed as he flew up the stairs, and towards the templar knights’ swords.

“That’s the moment!” Zong Ge had been waiting for this opportunity, and he suddenly jumped.

The young man had fallen down during this, and slammed his palm into Zong Ge’s soles. 

Zong Ge accelerated dramatically and attacked upwards.

At that moment, the templar knights were reorganizing their footing.

The combined attack of Cang Xu and Zong Ge was very swift, and the four templar knights could only intercept one of them.

They all elected independently to attack Zong Ge.

Zong Ge fought bravely and didn’t retreat.

Swords swung towards him, and with great determination on his face, the half beastman raised his arm and used it as a shield.

Psssh.

Blood sprayed from Zong Ge’s severed arm!

He seized that opportunity to rush to the fourth floor.

“As long as I set foot on the fourth floor, I can use my battle qi!” Zong Ge roared madly to himself.

“I don’t think so!” A templar knight shouted, and used his shoulder to collide with Zong Ge.

Zong Ge’s eyes were sluggish, and the templar knight stopped his charge and forced him to look on helplessly as he fell back.

But as he fell, he used his remaining hand to grab the templar knight who had bashed him.

The two tumbled down the stairs together.

By the time the two finished tumbling, Zong Ge had already twisted the templar knight’s neck during the fall.

At the same time, Cang Xu fell onto the tiles of the fourth floor.

Zong Ge stood up, he was soaked in blood, and turning a blind eye to his missing arm, he shot flames at the three templar knights.

When the three templar knights saw the bloodied lion, they all took a step back involuntarily.

“Don’t be afraid. I have already succeeded!” Jia Sha suddenly said.

A moment later, teleportation was turned on. 

“Haha, priest, well done!! We are victorious in the end, let’s leave these people here to die!” Zhen Jin was ecstatic.

While he said that, he leapt at the unarmed and defenseless scholar, his sword aimed at Cang Xu’s chest.

When he saw that, even someone as tough as Zong Ge couldn’t help but shudder.

This included the monstrous youngster, all of them despaired.

Cang Xu had just stood up when his heart was skewered.

Zhen Jin malevolently laughed at Cang Xu, “Old fool, on what basis did you dare come up here? Did you come up here to receive death?” Hehehe!”

Zhen Jin’s eyes widened, he wanted to enjoy Cang Xu’s panic and helplessness as he approached death’s door.

But neither happened.

Cang Xu instead smiled.

Ping.

A moment later, a gush of magic power undulated on the fourth floor.

Astonished, Zhen Jin was struck away by the magic power.

Jia Sha and the three templar knights were likewise astonished.

Cang Xu pulled out the rapier from his heart, “Ah, I can finally use magic.”

From his chest, a single strand of blood leaked out.

So little blood came out!

Cang Xu wiped his hand across his chest, and the wound was sewn back together.

“You…you…you……” Zhen Jin crawled up, he looked incomparably frightened.

Jia Sha tenaciously gazed at Cang Xu, his face ashen, “You are a necromancer!”

The three templar knights were stunned silent, and they suddenly realized their blunder.

The weak and old scholar had been the most deeply hidden person.

An iron level necromancer!!
