Chapter 624 - 621: Iron Fox
Bai Pu led the army in a sweeping advance, quickly pushing back to the depths of the Xian Mountain Border Area, where the central mountain structures stretched out endlessly.
The "Duel Banner" still stood in its original place, and in the Duel Space, Zhuoyun, the first candidate for the Sword Saint from Drunken Flower Forest, continued to engage in combat.
The Xian Mountain Awakened were continually defeated, but within Bai Pu’s Prismatic Domain, they couldn’t quickly disengage from the battle.
On the other hand, the official Magic Energy Fire Gunners, already agile shooters, moved with increased speed under Bai Pu’s domain, pursuing targets at lightning speed.
With each line of shooting, several Xian Mountain Awakened lost their combat power, with the unlucky ones being killed outright, while the lucky ones clung to life, lying severely injured on the ground.
The morale of the Xian Mountain Awakened plummeted. Except for a few die-hard factions, many Awakened, even those with minor criminal records, couldn’t hold on anymore, kneeling with raised hands, requesting to surrender.
Bai Pu ordered the experts from the Hero Gang and Iron Wall Guild to bind the severely injured and kneeling Awakened using Bloody Torture Devices, yet the advance of the main forces did not slow at all.
Finally, the owner of the hoarse voice couldn’t remain idle any longer.
"Gangxin! Don’t think you’re the only one with Domain Skills!"
A fierce shout sounded as three figures swiftly shot out from the top floor of the central structure.
Bang, bang bang!
The three figures erupted with powerful auras, and a gray and two blue domain illusions quickly spread out, colliding with Bai Pu’s Prismatic Domain in a mighty clash.
The gray domain, named [Iron Curtain], reduced the enemies’ speed while increasing allies’ Armor.
The two blue domains came without informational prompts and could only be distinguished by color: one light blue, the other dark blue.
The light blue domain visibly increased the speed of the Xian Mountain Awakened, and their Professional Energy slowly recovered within it.
The dark blue domain was the most peculiar, manifesting Water Element giant beast illusions within its range, which charged and attacked, inflicting Water Attribute elemental damage on enemies within the range!
"Lord Gangxin! The person at the front is the head of Miracle Auction House, ’Iron Fox,’ and his military rank is Bronze Brigadier General!"
Kunpeng whispered, "That guy has been playing tricks on us all along. He changed his voice with small gadgets, otherwise, I would have recognized it sooner."
"Miracle Auction House?" an officer nearby asked in confusion, "Our target for attacking was the Fengzi Auction House headquarters, so why is Iron Fox, the head of Miracle, here?"
"Fengzi Auction House must have been colluding with Miracle all along. After all, they share the same master."
Kunpeng pointed at the two figures with blue domains behind "Iron Fox."
The appearance of the two was somewhat special, primarily human but with fish-like features.
Clearly, they were from the Stilan Star Sea Race, considered ’Otherworld Travelers’ to Earth.
Bai Pu recalled that during the peak auction event of Fengzi Auction House, they had invited Miao Luo, the star auctioneer from Miracle.
Such actions of borrowing one’s resource to support a competitor were initially puzzling to Bai Pu.
Now, that puzzle was solved.
Fengzi Auction House and Miracle Auction House had likely formed a secret alliance back then, finding their "organization."
Could it be that the Stilan Star Sea Race had begun infiltrating Earth back then?
Bai Pu frowned, sensing that the timeline didn’t match up.
If the Sea Race had targeted Earth that early, Earth’s fall should have come before that of Yazd Star.
Bai Pu didn’t continue speculating, instead fully extending his Prismatic Domain, taking on the three opponents single-handedly!
On the battlefield, Bai Pu’s colorful light and the gray-blue light from Iron Fox and the other two clashed and interfered with each other.
The pure energies of various professions converged and collided in the air.
Despite the imposing pressure of the gray-blue light, which seemed to crush the colorful light, the colorful light rebounded with stronger force, like a spring.
The result of the domain clash ended up almost evenly matched!
The effectiveness of Bai Pu’s Prismatic Domain decreased to 60%.
Iron Fox’s Iron Curtain Domain was reduced to 25%, and the two otherworld travelers’ blue domains were weakened to about 30%.
The combined power of Iron Fox’s group was necessary to compete with the bonuses/penalties of the Prismatic Domain!
One of the otherworld travelers, with a thin layer of shell on his face, showed a puzzled look, muttering to a black communicator inserted next to his ear.
Iron Fox had the same translator communication device near his ear.
This type of translator device was exclusively for Tier One Awakened use.
Once one reached the level of a Tier Two Evolver, such low-level translators were unnecessary, as Evolvers communicated through Thought Sense, directly speaking in each other’s minds, with language no longer acting as a barrier.
The shell-faced figure said, "This can’t be. How can such a powerful Awakened appear in such a backward civilization as Earth? Able to hold out against both my and Hassam’s domain, his Energy Strength is comparable to a Lord."
Iron Fox whispered, "Lord Boss, this man is Gangxin, an anomaly. Reliable sources say he possesses King-level Purple Equipment."
The shell-faced "Boss" uttered an "Oh" of awe, quickly following with an excited, "Wonderful! Kill him and loot his Purple Equipment!"
The other otherworld traveler, "Hassam," with blue-striped patterns on his face and webbed arms, showed interest:
"Obtaining King-level Purple Equipment at the Awakened stage is extremely rare even on Stilan Star and qualifies one to join the Sea God Hall as a Prince of the Sea!
"Eliminating a Prince of the Sea-level genius is sure to yield incredible rewards."
Iron Fox sensed something amiss and quickly said, "Lords, Gangxin is a Tank Profession, most vulnerable when ignored. If we set him aside and first take out the Archer Team, only then can we win this battle!"
"No no no, Iron Fox. A genius like Gangxin surely has tenacious Life Force and means of escape. If we deal with the Archer Team first, he will flee when the situation turns unfavorable.
"We must eliminate him when he still feels hopeful, preventing him from contemplating escape!"
After Boss finished, Hassam issued a command, "Iron Fox, have your men hold off the other enemies. No defeat, no victory allowed. Boss and I will handle Gangxin. Once we kill him, we can sound the horn of counterattack."
Whoosh, whoosh!
The two blue figures disregarded Iron Fox’s concerns, shooting directly toward Bai Pu!
