Chapter 2287 - 1781: Dog Eat Dog!

Second update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...

The people on the Six Major Families' side all had pretty ugly expressions. Although Chen Zhi was just a member of the Chen Family, his death was equivalent to a slap across the face of the Six Major Families…

Chen Chong's Strength was too low. He was only speaking by relying on his status as Chen Zhi's brother. Though it was justified, the weight of his words was obviously insufficient. Someone immediately stepped out, looked at Vincent in front of him, and spoke in a rather hostile tone.

"Vincent, you must give me an explanation…"

The speaker was a Great Grandmaster Level Expert from the Jiang Family. The Jiang and Chen Families had been relatively close to begin with. Chen Zhi's death was a catastrophic Destruction for the Chen Family, and a huge blow to the Jiang Family as well.

"Explanation…"

Vincent's face, however, appeared quite calm. Although there was a trace of gravity in his eyes, there wasn't much worry. "I've already said what needed to be said. Chen Zhi's death has nothing to do with me… As for why his corpse would appear here, that I have no way of knowing!"

Thinking of this, Vincent's gaze began to sweep around. "Perhaps, before I came, someone had already snuck in here… Chen Zhi might have died at his hands!"

It had to be said, Vincent's speculation was actually very plausible.

If such a person really existed, it could indeed explain things…

"Then where is he?"

The problem was, the people of the Six Major Families only coldly sneered back.

There were only this many of them here, and they simply hadn't discovered any trace of other people. Vincent's explanation could only be taken as shirking responsibility, which naturally made the Six Major Families extremely dissatisfied! It even stirred killing intent in them…

In truth, the people of the Six Major Families had already been very wary of Vincent.

From the very beginning, it was determined that their cooperation would inevitably end with the two sides standing in opposition…

It was just that the Six Major Families had thought such conflict and confrontation would at least wait until they saw the final treasure before they would completely fall out… but they hadn't expected Vincent to make a move in advance.

Moreover, with that single move he killed one of their Great Grandmaster Level Experts… instantly reducing the overall strength of the Six Major Families by quite a bit.

This clearly exceeded the bottom line of the Six Major Families…

No matter how many mercenaries died, or even how many experts at their side died, a Great Grandmaster Level Expert was the Peak combat Strength of the Six Major Families. The loss of anyone was an irreparable, enormous loss.

If Chen Zhi had been killed by mechanisms or traps in the Underground Palace, that would be one thing. Even if they wanted to vent their anger or take revenge, there would be nothing they could do. But he偏偏 died at Vincent's hands… that was a completely different matter.

Precisely because of this, the Six Major Families' side also started to move. Several people closed in one after another, preparing to surround Vincent.

"Hmph… enough nonsense. If it's a fight you want, then fight!"

Vincent wasn't stupid. He knew there was no way to explain things now. The aura on his body slowly rose as he stared vigilantly at the members of the Six Major Families in front of him, simply no longer wasting his breath.

"So you're admitting it?"

Seeing Vincent react like this, the Jiang-surnamed expert's eyes turned cold, and he shouted in an incomparably sinister voice.

"Do it…"

Seeing that Vincent had no intention of arguing, he simply took it as Vincent tacitly admitting it. He immediately bellowed, and at the same time shook the Protective Gang Qi on his body, charging straight at Vincent.

Buzz~~~

Vincent was no pushover either. He was a genuine Great Grandmaster Level Expert. With a strange, low hum, a faint layer of silver light immediately surfaced over Vincent's body, and the skin on his body turned silver.

At this moment, Vincent seemed to have become a different person entirely, as if he were completely wrapped in silver. A layer of metallic armor formed around his body.

"Armorization? Hmph…"

Seeing this scene, the Six Major Families' side showed no surprise at all… Vincent's signature ultimate move was known throughout the Underground World. When they chose to cooperate with Vincent back then, they naturally had ways to deal with it.

Clang~~

The three Great Grandmaster Level Experts from the Six Major Families gave a light shake of their wrists, and a clear Dragon's roar echoed out. A coldly gleaming blade appeared in each of their hands…

"All Divine Weapon Rank… The Six Major Families' foundations aren't weak at all!"

Hidden in the dark, Qin Fang took a glance and couldn't help but murmur in admiration.

Perhaps the foundation of the Six Major Families was a bit weaker, unable to compare with those Great Sects that had been passed down for thousands of years, but each Family could produce a Great Grandmaster Level Expert, and each held a Divine Weapon in hand… that alone showed the Six Major Families had no shortage of good stuff.

Just these three Great Grandmaster Level Experts' Divine Weapons, although slightly inferior to Qin Fang's Flowing Shadow Divine Sword, were only marginally so…

"Fight!"

Seeing all three top experts draw their weapons, Vincent's face also grew quite grave, but he had no intention of backing down. He immediately tossed a pack from his body to the side, ready to go all out in this battle.

His armored body shimmered with a metallic luster, making Vincent look not even human…

But Vincent's movements weren't sluggish at all. His feet suddenly exploded with Strength as he charged straight at the three top experts, going in for the kill.

The three top experts came from the Jiang Family, Song, and Li Families respectively. Their Strengths were all at the Great Grandmaster-level, all extremely terrifying experts… one of them, that old man surnamed Jiang, his Cultivation had even reached the Peak of the Early Stage of Grandmaster Level. On the surface, he was already on par with Vincent.

"Kill!"

With just a simple exchange of glances, the three experts turned into three streaks of flowing light and lunged straight at Vincent, the Divine weapons in their hands driving out terrifying Sword Qi toward Vincent's armored body, all aimed directly at his vital points.

Pupupupu~~~

Vincent was definitely no weakling. Although he was a foreigner and did not know the Protective Gang Qi of top Dragon Nation's Warrior, he had tempered his flesh to a truly horrifying level. Add in his armored body, and his defense was unbelievably astonishing.

That incomparably sharp Sword Qi seemed like it could pierce gold and split stone, yet Vincent treated it like nothing. His arms flicked slightly, directly and easily parrying all that Sword Qi, leaving behind only a few sound effects.

And looking at Vincent's arm, there didn't seem to be even the slightest scratch on it…

This was naturally within the three experts' expectations. They themselves had Protective Gang Qi and could just as easily block Sword Qi attacks… Though they used swords, they weren't Sword Cultivators specialized in Sword Dao, and without a terrifying Sword Intent attached, it wasn't easy to shatter the Protective Gang Qi of an opponent on the same level!

Vincent's physical defense was equivalent to an indestructible Protective Gang Qi. Purely in terms of defense, it was even sharper, even more terrifying, so of course he wouldn't take this Sword Qi seriously…

So their true Killer Move… was the Divine weapon in their hands!

The three experts moved rapidly through the air, constantly switching attack angles… This was the flexibility of Longguo Martial Arts forms, something a foreigner like Vincent could not comprehend. Other than blindly charging and killing, Vincent couldn't even touch the clothes of these three experts.

On the contrary…

As soon as a flaw appeared, that old man surnamed Song thrust out the Treasured Sword in his hand like a Viper flicking its tongue, stabbing toward the major acupoint on Vincent's chest… Even if this wasn't necessarily a weak point in Vincent's defense, it was where the heart was. If a burst of Dark Force seeped in, even if Vincent didn't suffer external injuries, he would still take some internal damage!

"Hmph…"

But Vincent's Strength was no joke either!

As if he had guessed their intention, he didn't hesitate in the slightest. He swung his arm across and forcibly blocked in front of his heart!

Dang~~

The sword chopped onto Vincent's arm, producing a crisp collision sound… and at the same time, a string of sparks flew out.

However, that Divine weapon was actually knocked away!

A Divine weapon that could cut iron like mud still failed to easily break through Vincent's arm's defense… instead, it was shaken off by the Strength contained within that arm!

The old man surnamed Song's arm trembled for a moment, but he didn't intend to pause at all. He immediately did a backflip and lightly pulled back three to five meters, avoiding the counterattack Vincent might launch…

Ding!!

This old man wasn't alone; there were two other experts of the same level covering him and helping out… Before Vincent could even retaliate against this Elder Song right before his eyes, he felt a point stab from a Divine weapon land on the center of his back.

"Hiss~~~"

This strike wasn't exactly heavy! It didn't even pierce Vincent's armored metallic skin, but that strand of Dark Force passed through his metallic skin and directly seeped into his internal organs… even making him suck in a sharp breath.

Why was it that at the same level, the Strength of a Dragon Nation's Warrior was half a grade stronger in comparison?

The main reason was that the True Qi Dragon Nation's Warrior cultivated was extremely strange…

This kind of Strength, which was hard to explain with science, was sometimes even more troublesome than Zi Dan. For instance, the Protective Gang Qi of Great Grandmaster Level Expert… this nearly invisible Strength could form a protective shell that even Zi Dan couldn't penetrate.

And now it could actually bypass this flawless-looking metallic skin and directly seep into the internal organs to cause damage…

Vincent was in exactly that situation at the moment. One tiny flaw was seized upon by the three experts, who easily inflicted some damage on him… Even though there wasn't a single mark on his surface, his internal organs had been shaken, making Vincent feel extremely uncomfortable!

"Hehe, fight, fight hard…"

Qin Fang hid in the dark, muttering to himself with a wicked grin on his face.

Even with several Great Grandmasters up ahead, none of them had discovered his presence. His Grandmaster-Level Stealth Skills let him hide at such close range without being noticed by these experts.

If even Great Grandmaster Level Expert couldn't detect him, the rest of those people had even less chance…

Not to mention, the battle between both sides was so intense right now. Everyone's attention was focused on the four people locked in fierce combat. Who would have the spare mind to notice Qin Fang?
