What should be done?
Dio looked hesitantly at the malevolent-looking, blood-red armor worn by Richardson. He wasn't willing to give up like so, but he still didn't dare to make rash actions for now. It wouldn't be difficult to kill Richardson with his numerous guards' power, but he would be in great trouble if he antagonized the Green Clan due to this.
"Cutting Edge of Death? It's really the Cutting Edge Battle Armor of Death."
"I didn't expect that I would get to meet a real Cutting Edge Warrior here."
...
Dio furrowed his brows, while the eyes of the numerous Wanderers lit up upon seeing Richardson's armor. They finally saw hope for escape, and they approached him after they exclaimed in surprise. Algernon Divine Branch was quite powerful, but the Cutting Edge Warriors' Green Clan was also renowned in various planes and wasn't any worse. They all felt safer because they were supported by a real Cutting Edge Warrior.
In the innumerable past years, the Order Plane's Algernon Divine Branch got a lofty position with countless slaughters, and it extinguished enemies' confidence and courage with its horrifying butcherings. When the crowd saw Dio's guards encircling the whole camp and saw Dio's ice-cold gaze and detected his intense murderous aura, they became sure that he planned to slaughter everyone so that they wouldn't divulge this matter.
At this moment, they finally got a gleam of hope thanks to Richardson, who stepped forward bravely. Richardson wasn't very powerful, and there were many Wanderers more powerful than him, but the crowd valued his status more than his power.
The Green Clan had a large population, but the Cutting Edge of Death, Alex, had only a few direct descendants, and Richardson obviously had an important status because he possessed the Cutting Edge Badge of Death. Even if Algernon Divine Branch was stronger than this, it still wouldn't dare to rashly kill the Green Clan's core members and silence them.
Swoosh!
The numerous Wanderers were quite swift, and they quickly assembled together. They formed a tight protective formation to face the enemy together. Most of them were just Mid-Level Deities, and they even had Low-Level Deities among them, but they were still too numerous. Once they united, their might would be no small matter.
"Young master, let me deal with this. I will chop off their heads directly." The Heng and Ha Generals--Dio's fatty--was eager to give this a try. He looked down upon the allied Wanderers and he still looked lecherously with his bean-like eyes into the Chief Elven Priestess's pretty face. He even cast a glance at Sala's plump chest. He wore a lecherous smile across his face!
"Humph! Vladimir, your blade is too small, and even if they stand motionless, you would still have to hack them for quite a while to deal with them. Just let me deal with this." The guy who was thinner than the Corpse Wizard King raised his thin sharp sword and flicked it softly.
"Davis, you are really too thick-skinned. You had suffered a disastrous defeat last time, yet you still have the nerve to state that you are swifter than I am." The fatty called Vladimir rolled his eyes and retorted back.
The numerous Wanderers were on guard and nervous, because they were afraid that Algernon Divine Branch's group would carry out a massacre, while Heng and He Generals, next to the youth, Dio, were arguing without any regard to the others. They both hoped to fight, and it seemed like they didn't take the crowd seriously.
"I will state the same words as before, and I will give the suspicious people among you one last chance. You can come at me together, and if you defeat one of the two guards next to me, we will promptly leave. If you can't do so, all suspicious people must come with me." The treacherous-looking Dio muttered to himself irresolutely for a moment before he made a decision. He clearly separated Yang Ling's group from the other Wanderers with the words "suspicious people".
It would be better to focus their power on the few key people, rather than taking large risks and attempting to kill everyone to silence them.
It would be enough to kill Yang Ling and take out his Godhead, as well as taking away the beautiful Chief Elven Priestess. Even the black-robed old man, Wilcox, and his companions weren't important, let alone the other Wanderers. He could achieve his objective in this way, and he also wouldn't have to antagonize Richardson's Green Clan.
The news of the public murder of Yang Ling would leak out, and some hidden dangers would be left, but it was obvious which was more serious between this and killing Richardson, as well as antagonizing the Green Clan.
Dio sneered coldly before he called over Vladimir and whispered several words into his ear. Vladimir nodded and left after he received orders. As a "swooshing" sound echoed out, he flew toward Yang Ling and the others. He laughed loudly and said, "Come over. If you don't fear death, then come at me together. I will let you taste Vladimir's great power."
Vladimir didn't take Yang Ling's group seriously due to his great power. Cutting Edge Warriors were powerful, but it was a pity that Richardson still didn't practice to a high-level and that he couldn't pose any deadly threat to Vladimir. Even if a group of ordinary God-Level Experts or High-Level Deities fought him jointly, they wouldn't be a match for him, let alone Yang Ling's group that had only a few High-Level Deities.
Even though Vladimir was sure that he would win, he still followed Dio's order and decided to finish the battle quickly so that an unexpected accident wouldn't occur. He held a large blade in his hand and chanted several incantations silence. He released his Divine Domain, and the dim ring on his finger instantly emitted bright, scarlet light, while a hideous-looking dragon head became faintly visible.
Swoosh!
A heavy wave of pressure spread far away, engulfing the whole Wanderer Camp. Even the bodies of the numerous Wanderers with a Low-Level Deity's power shivered, let alone the Golden Cloak Warriors with just Domain-Level or Sacred-Level's power, who were behind the Sword God Gerald.
Those people's limbs turned powerless, and their bodies shivered. They almost couldn't breathe any longer. The gravity within the camp was instantly increased by a dozen or ten-fold.
This was a Divine Duty's might!
The Divine Domain of a God-Level Expert with a Divine Duty was stronger than ordinary God-Level Experts' domains by many folds.
"A Dragon Head Ring! Is this an apex High-Level Deity with a Divine Duty?"
Wilcox, Richardson, and the others looked at Vladimir, who was engulfed by a scarlet light, before they looked at the Dragon Head Ring around his finger that shone brightly, and they all couldn't help but swallow their saliva with great difficulty. They knew long ago that the opponent was powerful, but they still didn't expect that it was an expert with a Divine Duty.
Ordinary people couldn't deal with an expert with a Divine Duty. They also couldn't deal even with the weakest among them who had only a First-Level Divine Duty and a ring with just a single Dragon Head. The Dragon-Head Ring's strengthening effect of Divine Power would greatly increase its owner's offensive and defensive power. The Dragon-Head Ring would gather believers' Wish Power, and it would provide its owner a steady flow of Divine Power.
"Is this the Dragon Head Ring's real power?" When Yang Ling saw the bright red ring around Vladimir's finger, he was astounded, and he quickly thought of the dozen Dragon Head Rings he found in Gibra Temple, as well as the Nine-Dragon Ring he found in the castle at the seabed.
A ring with a single dragon head was already so powerful. So wouldn't the rings with five dragon heads and nine dragon heads be more amazing?
"I have said that none should even dream about killing my brothers and snatching my beloved." Richardson, who wore a blood-red Cutting Edge Armor, took a deep breath before he walked over with large strides. He faced head-on Vladimir's wave of pressure!
He didn't want to go back to his clan and go through the baptism, and he never wanted to face his father that he never met, but the pride hidden within the Cutting Edge of Death Bloodline provided him the courage to face head-on all enemies and all difficulties.
There were only Cutting Edge Warriors fighting to the death, and there wasn't any Cutting Edge Warrior that would surrender.
"Fine! Brother Richardson, this isn't a single person's fight." Yang Ling gnashed his teeth and waved his hand to summon Hydra, the bald mammoth Barthey, and other God-Level Magical Beasts. Soon after, he walked toward Richardson's side with large strides to fight shoulder to shoulder with him. He also took out the Nine-Dragon Ring quietly while no one was paying attention to him, and he wore it stealthily around his finger.
He didn't know how to use the Nine-Dragon Ring and didn't know how to release its power, but he was facing the powerful Vladimir, and he felt great pressure weighing down on him. This was why he got a feeling that this ring would probably give him a pleasant surprise.
Divination Techniques was a branch of Soul Wizard Spells. It was the most mysterious branch, and it was the most difficult to practice. When Yang Ling had just become a Soul Wizard, he couldn't grasp the Divination Technique's mysteries, but as his Wizard Power and Mental Energy grew in strength, he received a deeper comprehension of Soul Wizard Spells, and he discovered that his senses became keener.
He would often get a vague intuition as if he had a sharp sixth sense. In the way, he depended upon his sharp intuition and the Horned Bee Beast's exploration to narrowly evade the numerous Abyssal Demons' interception repeatedly.
"You should retreat as far as possible." The Sword God Gerald instructed his clansmen to retreat quickly before he walked to Yang Ling's side without the least bit of hesitation. The Chief Elven Priestess, who held a Magic Staff, was behind him, and she followed him closely without the least bit of hesitation.
"I'm old and I have lived for so many years. It's already enough." Wilcox looked at the brave Richardson, as well as Yang Ling and the Chief Elven Priestess, who didn't hesitate at all, before he pulled a sword on his waist. He walked with large strides to the side of Yang Ling and the others. There were tens of Wanderers behind him, and they exchanged a glance. They had hesitated only for a moment before they followed Wilcox with large strides.
They had followed Richardson and traveled various planes for many years. They fought shoulder to shoulder, and they went through many trials. They had a deep friendship, and this was why none of them retreated, despite knowing that Vladimir's power was higher than ordinary High-Level Deities by much.
"Hahaha, good. Pretty good. Since you want to die, don't blame me for what will come later." Vladimir looked at Yang Ling's group, that quickly formed a formation, and laughed loudly, while a cold glint flashed past his eyes. He shouldn't kill Richardson and the Chief Elven Priestess, but he didn't have any qualms about the others, so he could slaughter them.
Swoosh!
A breeze blew over and swirled up leaves that filled the sky. The Wanderers watching this in the vicinity retreated far away before they looked over attentively. An earth-shattering battle would shortly occur!
