There were twenty guards, but thirteen of them were blocked outside.
There were only seven fighting with Jiang Feng and the others. While the gate was big, the place where they could battle was very small. It was only enough to fit that number of people.
As soon as they killed one guard, another guard would replace it.
The only attack that they had to defend was the other guards’ Black Pill attacks. It would be quite dangerous if they were hit.
“Ah…”
It was at this time when Wanke, who was fighting against a guard, was attacked by a Black Pill. There was a thumb-sized hole in his abdomen as blood flowed continuously.
“Protect Wanke!” When Jiang Feng saw what was happening, he frowned and used his Xingyu Fist on his left hand to block a guard, and used his right sword to block the guard that Wanke was fighting.
Whoosh!
It was at this time when two Black Pills were heading toward him.
“Vajra’s Iron Finger! Black Pill!”
His one finger was pressed on one of the Black Pills, and his Inner Chi burst forth.
Crack! His finger was immediately splintered but the Black Pill from his body managed to block the other Black Pill.
“Ten Thousand Chain Blade!”
When they saw that several Black Pills were heading toward them again, Sus used his most powerful skill.
His blade instantly turned into dozens of chain blades. The chain blade then instantly bound all the Black Pills, neutralizing their power.
Kalosi’s attacks had also become much more brutal as she quickly reaped the lives of the guards.
Huang Xiaoyu threw out five red crystals at this time.
Under the cover of the red light, everyone’s attacks became much more powerful.
Wanke ate one Aeon Drop, and as he waited for his wounds to heal, he unleashed a palm strike every once in a while to relieve everyone else’s pressure.
Jiang Feng glanced at everyone who was fighting with their lives without saying anything as he continued to block the guards’ Black Pills and gave Kalosi the chance to kill the guards.
Kalosi did not disappoint. As she continued to dance through the guards and her daggers continued to swing, blood was spilled everywhere.
While she was small and cute, her pair of daggers was quick as lightning.
One by one the guards fell under her daggers and the twenty guards were slowly annihilated.
As the number of guards was falling, wounds were appearing on Jiang Feng and the others.
This was not Divine Dominion where Jiang Feng could deal with hundreds, even thousands of those at the same rank as him. This was the Great World of Tianji, where his only advantage was his talents, and his Combat Rating and Inner Chi that were higher than others at the same rank.
He could at most deal with three enemies at one time.
“Huff… huff…”
After defeating all twenty guards, all five people and one beast slumped onto the ground, panting.
The battle had depleted most of their Inner Chi, and there were plenty of wounds on them.
He took out a Low-Heaven Beast Pill for Jianbao, and then gave everyone a Scarce Herb each to heal their wounds and recover their Inner Chi.
As they were waiting for their wounds to recover, they began to observe the castle.
There was a crystal bridge right in front of them. It was around 30 meters wide and 500 meters long. On the bridge were six patrols and two guard leaders.
There was one guard leader at each end.
If they wanted to go on the bridge, they would have to kill the leader first.
The leader was very tall. It was around 2 meters tall, with one hand holding a sword and the other a shield. It had already formed an Earth Soul. While it was at the same realm as they were, but its HP, Combat Rating, and Inner Chi were much higher than theirs.
“Jianbao, you’ll be responsible for handling its Earth Soul. Everyone else, follow me!”
When he saw that all of them had somewhat recovered, Jiang Feng activated his Inner Chi and then headed toward the guard leader with his Feihe Sword.
“This is not a place where you may enter! Leave!” The guard leader yelled out coldly and blocked Jiang Feng’s Feihe Sword with his own sword. As the two swords clashed with each other, sparks appeared.
“Chain blade!” Sus launched the blade in his hand as it transformed into a chain blade, binding the guard leader.
“Divine Palm of the Buddha!” Wanke slammed his palm on the guard leader’s head.
“Attack!”
Kalosi instantly appeared behind the guard leader. Her pair of daggers kept on slicing on its neck, leaving behind glass fragments.
Meanwhile, Huang Xiaoyu buffed everyone’s attacks and attack speed.
As only the guard leader was at this side of the bridge, it was no match for a Squadron that had focused all their attacks on him.
Very quickly, it had lost about half of its HP. It let out a loud roar and freed himself from the chain blade. An Earth Soul the size of his palm flew out from his body, heading toward Jiang Feng and Wanke who were closest to it.
Jianbao, who was already prepared, met the guard leader’s Earth Soul in battle.
The two Earth Souls fought in mid-air as if a mini Jianbao and a mini guard leader were fighting.
With the Earth Soul being stopped, the guard leader became angry. A red light was unleashed from the sword in his hand, sweeping toward Jiang Feng and the others. When Jiang Feng saw what the guard leader was doing, he quickly yelled at his teammates next to him.
“Everyone, retreat!”
In the next moment, everyone quickly got far away from the guard leader.
“Feihe Swordstyle!”
Jiang Feng’s figure danced as crane after crane clashed with the red light. As they clashed, they were able to nullify the guard leader’s powerful attack. While they were still affected by the aftershock, most of it was nullified by their Chi Shields.
“Attack!”
The five people and one beast once again attacked when the guard leader could not follow up with its attack.
This time, it immediately killed the guard leader.
Ding. Tianji System Prompt. Congratulations on slaying the Heaven Realm Nine Stars Mirror Guard Leader. Evaluation: A Rank. Combat Rating and Inner Chi +50. Receive 500 Reputation.
‘Woah! The guard leader’s at Heaven Rank Five Stars?! Luckily I’m not arrogant enough to attempt to clear the Secret Map myself. If not, I wouldn’t even know how I died!”
There was a chance for someone to clear a Secret Map solo.
However, if he were to clear the Secret Map on his own, the monsters’ power within the Secret Map would not be suppressed. it was not possible at all. Even elite players like Zhou Botong would most likely be killed.
That was why players would subconsciously think that only through Squadrons would they be able to fight for the Secret Treasure.
Of course, if he wanted to clear the Secret Map solo, there must be no other players in the Secret Map. If not, the system would not acknowledge it.
“Here are some herbs for you. Recover your Inner Chi. We only have around nine hours left. We have to get the Secret Treasure within this timeframe!”
To save time, Jiang Feng took out even more Scarce Herbs and gave them to them.
Sus then looked at Jiang Feng and asked, “Captain, how many herbs did you get? It feels like you are too generous with them.”
The other three were also quite surprised.
The herbs that Jiang Feng gave them could be sold for millions of gold pieces.
“I have collected almost all the Scarce Herbs and Rare Treasures in this Secret Map for the past half a month. But there are too many herbs, so I forgot about how valuable they could be,” Jiang Feng replied with a smile.
There were indeed too many herbs to the point where the Golden Dragon Ring could not store them and he had to throw some that were of inferior quality.
