Chapter 330: Chapter 327: If Dreams Come True Chapter 330: Chapter 327: If Dreams Come True âDo any of our people wear black robes?â
Young Master Li Ting asked in bewilderment, then quickly realized how foolish his question was.
Lying in a pool of blood and bodies mutilated beyond recognition in front of the robed figure,
even if he didnât recognize them, he knew they must be members of the Li Family Mercenary Corps!
âWhat was the strength and number of the team stationed here previously?â
âTwenty-two in total. All team members had the strength of Fifth Tier Awakeners, and the leader, Hei, had advanced to Sixth Tier five days ago.â
Beside the young man, a muscular man wearing a turban responded.
Li Ting looked down and nodded, âLeaving only one person on the outside indicates that the enemyâs numbers arenât large, probably two to four, but to have wiped out an entire team that was blocking the Secret Realm, their strength must be at least Sixth Tier or above, with Seventh or Eighth Tier also being possible.â
âBut!â His rather handsome face turned bloodthirsty, âKilling the people of my Li family, even if they are Seventh or Eighth Tier or stronger, they wonât escape death.â
The team charged down from the hill.
Their identity belonged to the Mercenary Corps, but unlike the slack mercenaries, each member had specific roles. They formed battle formations and stopped about ten meters away from the robed figure, surrounding the Secret Realm⊠With Sixth or Seventh Layer experts sitting in every direction, they feared nothing, even if the robed figure lashed out.
The team parted to make a pathway in the middle, and Li Ting walked to the front, chin lifted, âYou didnât run. Should I commend your bravery, or is it just the ignorance of the fearlessâŠâ
Li Ting sensed that the robed figureâs aura was only at the Fifth Tier, but he wasnât too surprised⊠Few could conceal their aura, but it wasnât impossible, and his was concealed perfectly!
In an instant,
Li Tingâs aura burst forth like a raging furnace, the intense waves of energy rolled out, causing even the elite members of the Li Family nearby to glance sideways, impressed.
âThe seemingly delicate Young Master Li of the Li Family was indeed powerful.
Li Ting became even more proud, yet he didnât show it, and his gaze towards the robed figure turned somber.
The robed figure hadnât reacted at all.
No, thatâs not right⊠her entire face was hidden under a hood, sporting a butterfly mask, making her expressions indiscernible.
âTalk, how many accomplices do you have?â
Red Moon didnât answer, like a wooden statue simply standing there.
Li Ting could no longer hold his face, âKill her, dismember her body, feed it to the Demonized Beasts!â
Instantly,
the Awakeners in the back holding new model rifles pulled their triggers.
Armor-Piercing Bullets pierced through the air from all directions toward the target.
They didnât all aim at the same spotâsome were faster, some slower; some targeted lethal spots, while others targeted the area surrounding the robed figure⊠All the bullets forming a barrage, enveloped the enemy like a net.
This was their meticulously honed method of attack, often reaping even far stronger enemies, especially those with weaker human bodies.
Click, click.
Unexpectedly, the figure in the robe made no move to dodge, and the bullets that hit the seemingly ordinary robe were deflected and fell off.
Two Armor-Piercing Bullets aimed at the eyes were caught by a pale, delicate hand that extended from the sleeve, pinched between three fingers!
Li Tingâs pupils dilated.
He couldnât do that.
Perhaps a Bullet Time ability user?
At the same time, Red Moon raised her other hand. In the front row, blood ferociously burst from the eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouths of about a dozen Awakeners.
âSpread out, disperse the formation!â
The muscular man with the turban shouted; his legs bent, muscles bulged, and the ground collapsed under his stomp as his body shot out like a cannonball.
âTo death you go!â
As he charged, the turbaned muscular manâs eyelid twitched, and he raised his right hand across his chest.
His face bulged with veins, and his entire right arm swelled up, not with muscle but with blood vessels that protruded like little serpents, creating a horrifying sight.
Crack, spurtâ
The blood vessels burst through the skin, spraying out, and then his arm deflated like a leaking balloon, rapidly shriveling.
âShe can control blood, be careful!â
Having said that,
the muscular man ruthlessly pulled out his withered arm, the broken muscle tips turned gray-white due to the loss of blood, and there were no wounds or blood flow at the cut.
It wasnât that all the blood in his body had been drained; rather, the man with the headband had closed off his blood vessels himself.
His temples bulged, his face turned red, and the next moment, crackling sounds erupted like firecrackersâa new arm grew back where the old one had been!
It was still covered in slime, and the new skin appeared pale.
âŠ
Before Red Moonâs avatar could drain all the blood from the muscular man, attacks from others followed in quick succession.
With the warning from the man with the headband, these people spread out, maintaining their distance. Several ability users, from neither too far nor too close, lifted their hands to release flames, controlled flying knives whizzing through the air, the ground suddenly collapsed, and others opened their mouths to release energy beams like lasers.
The ground cracked inch by inch, dust spurting up five or six meters high.
Red Moonâs black figure burst through the smoke and dust, approaching a Sixth-Layer Awakener. Red light converged in her hand, spreading inch by inch, forming a crimson Long Blood Whip.
The blood-red whip shot out, piercing through the ability userâs chest in less than half a second, turning him into a desiccated corpse that fell to the ground.
An Earth-Series Ability User also turned into a desiccated corpse, and the ability user who had emitted laser beams had his head blown open by the Long Blood Whip.
In the blink of an eye, three top-ranked Awakeners in the Mercenary Corps met their untimely deaths.
At that moment, Red Moonâs avatar approached the last Fire-Series Ability User. Her whip danced like a snake. The Fire-Series Ability User did not dodge or hide, revealing a ferocious face as intense flames burst from inside him, engulfing them both.
âDamn, a covering attack, quickly!â
The man with the headband shouted.
Grenades and rocket shells came roaring in, bursting like brilliant fireworks.
Others stared blankly, the man with the headbandâs expression grew solemn, and a flicker of fear crossed Li Tingâs eyes.
A gust of wind cleared the black smoke.
A figure cloaked like a devil appeared before their eyes.
Red Moon extended her hands, a shield as thin as a cicadaâs wing, pale red in color, protected her front, blocking almost all the explosions.
Yet, some noticed that the trailing end of her nearly ground-touching black robe was slightly damaged, revealing delicate, lotus-root-like calves and feet blackened by the blast.
âSheâs injured!â

After a brief browse through the diary, Tang Yu had gained a rough understanding of the situation during the Fourth Epoch and confirmed many of his speculations.
Zuofo was undoubtedly a person from the Fourth Epoch.
Though Zuofo claimed to be a supreme powerhouseâa bit of an exaggerationâhe had indeed reached Thirteen Layer Perfection, placing him among a small cluster at the very pinnacle of the Fourth Epoch.
Zuofo was a Lone Hero, spending nearly all his finances for a Secret Realm. People like him, who could sleep through from the Fourth Epoch to awaken in the Fifth Epoch, were unlikely to be numerous.
However, it was different for major powers.
An organization as loose as the Mage Alliance, just one branch could provide resources for five people to sleep, although it ultimately failed. But he believed that many strong figures from the Fourth Epoch had already awakened or were in the process of awakening.
Especially the Three Great Countries, which were said to have once ruled over eighty percent of the land, controlling countless resourcesâŠ
âHereâs to hoping that all people from the Fourth Epoch fail to awaken. Hmm, it would be great if their abandoned Secret Realms just happened to fall into my handsâŠâ
Although Tang Yu knew the chances were slim, one must dream big, for sometimes dreams do come true.
