The Great Battle with Lin Huoyang
Early the next morning, just as the sky began to lighten,
Mo Tian and the other three set off, heading straight for their base.
They had left so early because they didn't want to attract anyone's attention.
Who could have guessed that someone had already set their sights on them?
After seeing Mo Tian and the others leave, Lin Cheng and another man led a squad from the Heavenly Fire Adventure Group in pursuit.
Once they were far from the trading market, Lin Cheng and his men suddenly sprang out to attack.
"Zhang Zhen, hand over the Blue Cloud Gold and you can leave. Otherwise, you die!" Anger blazed in Lin Cheng's eyes.
"Lin Cheng, you shameless scum! You'd kill your own companions over a treasure!" Zhang Zhen said coldly.
Lin Cheng burst out laughing. "Ha ha... Hand over the Blue Cloud Gold and we can settle this peacefully. Otherwise, none of you are getting away. Not only you—even the three who came to your rescue will die!"
Mo Xuan whispered, "Zhang Zhen, where are the people you invited?"
Zhang Zhen smiled easily. "Since you want us dead, we might as well fight to the death and take a few of you down with us."
"Zhang Zhen is our friend. We'll share life and death with him," Mo Tian said.
Lin Cheng's expression turned cold. "In that case, we'll wipe you all out! Once you're dead, every treasure you own will be ours."
"Sir, give the order!"
Lin Huoyang, the squad leader of the Heavenly Fire Adventure Group, swept his hand through the air and barked, "Kill them! Leave no one alive!"
He was an early-stage Chaos Envoy. The weakest members of his squad were late-stage Chaos Cultivators, and two were peak-stage Chaos Cultivators.
