The moment Tu Zhi finished speaking, everyone’s eyes brightened. They looked at Lonemoon and Yi Qing like they were price lambs just waiting to be slaughtered.
Lonemoon frowned. He suddenly understood what the purpose of this Big Dao Organization was. “So this is how you recruit members?” A wave of disgust overwhelmed him as he scanned the group of them. He laughed icily and said, “What kind of Big Dao Organization is this? You’re just a gang of plane invaders, that’s all.”
“What did you say!” Tu Zhi’s expression darkened.
“I said you’re a bunch of bastards!” Lonemoon exclaimed as anger rose up in his chest. He suddenly felt stupid for suppressing the urge he felt earlier to rush over and beat them all up. “On the one hand, you claim that you want to recruit new members, but on the other, you are just focused on sending others’ planes to perish. I daresay that more than one or two managers have died here, right?”
They took the initiative to send out invites, but sent those invited “guests” to take some sort of test. What’s more, from what Tu Zhi just said, it seemed like they fed the souls of the managers who did not pass the test to the water body. Planes of people like Fang Fang who rejected them from the beginning would be destroyed. In other words, whether they accept the invitation or not, they would die.
What kind of organization was this? To think that Lonemoon held himself back earlier to avoid conflicting with them. He hadn’t imagined that this group of people did not even think about giving them a chance from the beginning. How would what they choose to do next make any difference, then?
“How different are all of you from invaders?” Lonemoon tutted. “No! You’re worse than invaders. At least the invaders are open about their motives. You use the name of the Big Dao Organization to cover your motives. Big Dao? What kind of Dao is the Big Dao? Do you specialise in destruction?”
“Why, you…” Tu Zhi was enraged. He shot daggers at Lonemoon with his eyes. Yet, he did not dare to make a move without Yu Heng saying anything. All he could do was turn to Yu Heng. “Boss.”
It was then that Yu Heng turned to look at the people in the middle of the circle. “Not bad; rules are rules.” He clenched his fists and the ribbon in his hands turned to dust instantly. Yu Heng lowered his gaze. “Not only did they go to the small testing world – they also set it free.”
“What?” The rest of them turned to face Yu Heng in disbelief. They were the ones who let the small testing world go!
“Do you think I wouldn’t be able to tell after you destroyed the aura?” Yu Heng frowned and continued, “Since you set the testing world free, then not only will I feed you to the water body, I will take your planes and turn them into the testing worlds!”
“Yes!” The 16 people agreed in unison.
Lonemoon could not be bothered to argue any further with him. Both he and Chef summoned their swords. “Then let’s see if you have what it takes to do so!” So what if there are so many of you!
The next thing they knew, everyone was charging toward them. The circle closed in on the two of them.
“You take the eight on the left and I’ll take the eight on the right!” Chef exclaimed as he used his sword array to defend against the first wave of attacks. Then, with a flash, he attacked them.
“No!” Lonemoon suddenly objected. He retrieved something from his robes and threw it over to the group. There was a bright white beam of light, which split into four colours and formed a wall. It caused the two managers trapped inside. “It’s seven each!” The pears that the pear girl gave him were indeed useful!
Suddenly, the entire sky covered with lasers and beams shooting out in all directions. After all, all of them were managers – they all were of a certain standard. It was obvious from the lights in the sky that the battle was fierce, yet they could not see one another’s figures because each of them was moving too quickly
There were several huge bursts of auras in the galaxy. Then, all who were left standing on the stage were three people: Yu Heng, with a solemn expression, and the other two managers who were trapped in the light wall.
Lonemoon and Yi Qing had just gotten promoted, but it was not their first time fighting managers. What’s more, compared to the invader manager that they dealt with the last time, these managers were considered of a lower standard. Although they were one against seven, both of them did not seem fazed at all. In fact, they managed to seriously injure two of the managers they fought with.
All of their expressions were now different. The competition was fierce and the skies all around were twisting and turning. Among the people Chef was fighting with, Tu Zhi was one of the most aggressive. Perhaps it was because he had spoken too much earlier on. Each attack that he dealt was more powerful than everyone else’s. In a short time, his entire body was covered in multiple colours. The more he fought, the smoother his powers flowed.
He gritted his teeth and took the chance while Yi Qing was fighting the other six managers, to sneak behind Yi Qing. Then, he mustered all the strength he had in his body to deal a huge blow to Yi Qing. Just before it hit Yi Qing, he turned around and flicked his sword in the direction of Tu Zhi’s attack, deflecting it. Then, he returned an attack of his own before dodging out of the way. Then… Tu Zhi’s attack felt squarely on another manager in the way.
After all, Tu Zhi had used all the strength in his body to deal that blow. Half of the manager’s body was cut off with a loud crash. The pieces fell toward the ground. She was not yet dead, but she was almost there.
Tu Zhi had not expected to hit one of his own. He stared blankly at the scene in front of him, yet he found more strength in him to grab hold of Yi Qing’s sword Qi and deal another attack back at him.
There was a loud crack, like somebody had activated some sort of machinery. Huge cracks began to appear in the pitch black galaxy. It was almost as if the entire galaxy was falling apart. Lonemoon was prepared for this. He shot a ball of sword Qi toward the cracks and waved his sword, then everything crumbled into pieces.
The entire starry sky looked like broken black glass. One by one, the pieces fell to the floor, faster and faster. With another loud crash, the night sky disappeared. The beautiful palace fell to the ground.
Everybody suddenly found themselves back at the water body. The force that had been pressing down on Lonemoon and Yi Qing was now gone. All the other managers’ expressions changed.
Lonemoon felt his entire chest relax. Hmph! Did the managers really think that he and Chef stood by and did nothing while they were discussing? They had already figured out the entire galaxy. They were in a realm within a realm. What’s more, that realm belonged completely to those 16 managers. That was why both of them felt their powers being constrained. While they were chatting, he and Chef discussed how to break out of that realm.
Without the suppressive force weighing down on them, the two of them fought even harder and more aggressively. After all, however, there were more people on the other side. Although one was paralysed, two were locked up, Tu Zhi was giving up and one was seriously injured, there were still 11 others who were going strong. It was tough for the two of them to hold up.
The enemies were also beginning to figure out that they were stronger when they worked together, and weaker when they split up. Therefore, they were starting to coordinate their attacks.
The battle was at a standstill. Suddenly, a pear flew out of nowhere and hit the two managers that Lonemoon was fighting. there was a bright flash of white light, which again split into four colours and formed a wall. The two managers were locked within. Lonemoon halted.
He turned around and saw Fang Fang standing behind him, panting. She looked like she had rushed over.
“Pear!” Lonemoon exclaimed.
“My name is Fang Fang!” She glared at him.
