City of the Destroyer (2)

"Sister Yan, the Earth Wall Bastion won't hold for much longer!" Luo Pei, exhausted from summoning the Earth Worm, looked up and said...

Xue Yan knew this usually quiet subordinate very well; she wouldn't speak unless absolutely necessary.

"Are the Earth Worm ready?" Xue Yan took out a scroll from behind her back and held it in her hand. Her demeanor was indescribably arrogant, which was quite attractive to men. But those who knew her well knew that Xue Yan was about to kill.

"The Earth Worm will be ready soon, in 30 seconds!"

"Alright! You guys go into the Earth Worm first, I'll follow shortly!" Xue Yan grabbed one side of the scroll and pulled hard, opening it to reveal what was inside.

A picture depicts an angry-faced Bodhisattva with a hundred arms growing from his back.

"Hundred-Handed Rakshasa, today, I'll have to use you!" Xue Yan murmured. At this moment, the Earth Wall Bastion was originally as hard as steel, finally cracked under the relentless bombardment from the group outside.

"Keep going! Smash their turtle shells! Lord Wang said that if this succeeds, everyone who participates will be rewarded with a hundred magic crystals and a Guardian Contract. Then, you can also occupy a piece of land and become city lords revered by thousands!" Aubrey kept stirring up the attackers' emotions. After hearing this, the group seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and their attack became even more frenzied.

Guardian Contracts are even rarer than Magic Crystals.

After more than a year, most people in the world have heard of the existence of 'Shadow Street', the birthplace of the Guardian. Becoming Guardian brings many benefits, the most coveted of which is undoubtedly the ability to occupy the unclaimed Sand City and become its lord.

City lords are currently the most prestigious people. They control the vast majority of the world's resources, own upgradable towns, can produce troops and creatures, and most importantly, can produce food.

Food is a matter of life and death; whoever controls food controls the lives of the people. However, to become the city lord, one must possess a Guardian contract. Therefore, everyone was tempted when they heard about this opportunity.

Not to mention them, Aubrey also risked everything to betray Xue Yan for this very reason.

He knew that this matter could only succeed, not fail; otherwise, he would die a horrible death.

Finally, the Earth Wall Bastion crumbled into dust before a user with hammer-like arms, and at that moment, a purple light emerged from the Earth Wall Bastion.

"This... this is?" Aubrey's eyes narrowed, and his heart skipped a beat.

He recognized the purple light.

"Damn it, it's the Hundred-Handed Rakshasa!" Aubrey retreated quickly, jumping into a ditch. Because of his quick reflexes, he escaped unharmed.

After the purple light, a giant over 3 meters tall, naked from the waist up, with arms growing all over his back, appeared before everyone's eyes. The giant's more than 100 hands were all holding sharp hidden weapons, with a wide variety of styles, and all of them looked to be quite powerful.

While the dozens of attackers around them were still stunned, the giant moved his hundred arms, and the hidden weapons in his hands shot out. Only then did the attackers realize they needed to dodge, but it was too late.

This Hundred-Handed Rakshasa is a skill created by Xue Yan through research into a secret technique. Once it appears, it can easily kill one hundred C-Rank powerhouses instantly.

Although some of the attackers had reached B-rank, they were unable to withstand the attacks of these hidden weapons and were knocked to the ground one after another. Those who were not strong enough died on the spot, and only a dozen or so B-rank ability users were left alive, but they were no longer able to fight.

"This woman is going all out, hehe, but the Hundred-Handed Rakshasa can only be unleashed once a day. Let's see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!" Aubrey thought bitterly, then sent out a signal. Dozens of people rushed out from the surrounding area and quickly attacked the Hundred-Handed Rakshasa.

Aubrey went to great lengths to devise this trap. When he joined Xue Yan's team, his motives were not pure. In fact, he was a spy planted by several other city lords. The reason was that a few months ago, Zheng Yutong's town, the leader of the three heroes, was upgraded to level 4, so those city lords felt threatened.

Several women had actually climbed over their heads, and they were several stunningly beautiful women at that. This was like a giant rose with thorns, and the city lords were like bees attracted to this rose.

What they really wanted was that level 4 town.

So, the plan to hold a fake auction, steal level 5 magic crystals, and bribe Aubrey was put into action, and now, the most important part of the plan is about to begin.

If the assassin king Xue Yan is eliminated, then the plan will be half successful.

"There's no one inside the Earth Wall Bastion, they've run away!" an attacker interrupted Aubrey's thoughts.

"Don't panic, they've only entered the Earth Worm. How are the land-binding ability users doing?"

"Everything is ready. The ground within a hundred meters is completely frozen. They can't escape!"

Aubrey was relieved.

Sure enough, the ground shook again soon after, and then a huge insect burst out of the ground not far away. Although only its head was visible above the ground, one could imagine how enormous its body must have been.

"This is the Earth Worm! Everyone, attack together and kill it! Then those women will have nowhere to hide!" Aubrey was the first to rush forward.

The Earth Worm is good at digging and burrowing, but it has no fighting ability. Although it has a hard shell, it was soon covered in wounds. Then it opened its big mouth, and several people walked out of its mouth.

It was Xue Yan and the others!

"Sister Yan, the Earth Worm is finished!" Luo Pei's energy was greatly depleted. Her face was already pale, and she was swaying precariously, having lost the ability to continue fighting.

Of the remaining survivors, only two, besides Xue Yan, were unharmed. However, with only three people facing an attack by dozens, the situation was naturally far from optimistic.

This was a situation that Xue Yan had never expected at first.

At this moment, no matter how skilled she is, it will be difficult for her to break through this predicament. After all, her expertise lies in assassination and Stealth, and she has few special skills to rely on in direct confrontation.

The 'Hundred-Handed Rakshasa' technique was one example, but it cannot be used again for a short period of time.

"Aubrey, you bastard!" Xue Yan glared hatefully at the figure in the distance, her blood boiling.

"What's wrong, Xue Yan? Are you disappointed?" Aubrey sneered and continued, "You must have had high hopes for me, but a woman is a woman, born only to please a man. You're lucky today to have caught the eye of our Lord Wang. If you agree, we won't have to fight anymore, and your two men will be spared. How about it?"

At this moment, Xue Yan laughed in extreme anger.

She didn't say anything, but simply threw a flying knife at Aubrey, who was clearly prepared and blocked it with a large metal shield.

"Don't waste your energy. It's true that you're skilled in assassination, but in a head-on fight, you're far from capable. After all, I've been your subordinate for over half a year, and I know you very well, Captain Xue Yan!"

"It was I who didn't know you at all, and even considered you a confidant. I was truly blind!" Xue Yan said through gritted teeth.

She trusted this man, not only because he was her subordinate, but also because Aubrey was exceptionally talented in both comprehension and ability. In addition, he was eloquent and understanding, and sometimes Xue Yan even found him quite attractive.

But that's all.

Xue Yan had met many outstanding men, but the one who left the deepest impression on her was still that person.

The person who displayed extraordinary wisdom and formidable strength during his very first mission.

"Compared to that person, Aubrey, you are far inferior!" Xue Yan suddenly smiled, something that rarely happened to her. Upon seeing this smile, Aubrey felt a surge of heat in his lower abdomen.

From the first day he saw this woman, he had wanted to pin her down and savor the warmth of this stubborn woman. Whenever he fantasized about one day being able to toy with such a cold and beautiful woman, Aubrey felt his blood boil.

This is one of the reasons why he made the decision to switch sides.

Because only in this way could he possibly experience everything about this woman.

As for that Lord Wang, Aubrey's face twisted into a grimace. If the other party dared to lay a finger on Xue Yan, he would make sure he died a horrible death.

"Alright, I've finished my nonsense. Today, we must settle this!" Aubrey waved his hand, and suddenly, another group of people appeared from all directions.

These were the elite among the attackers.

With two B3-level, five B2-level, and eleven B-level individuals, plus the rest being powerful individuals with special abilities, Aubrey believed that Xue Yan's side had no chance of winning against such a formidable attack.

Upon seeing those people, Xue Yan's heart sank. She knew that she was probably doomed today.

"Captain, we'll hold them off, you go!" The last two remaining combat-capable team members stood in front of Xue Yan, their eyes filled with a desperate resolve.

Xue Yan secretly sighed, "You can't stop what is coming. Luo Pei, if you can use the art of escaping from the ground, hide first and wait until the surrounding confinement disappears. Then go back and report to Sister Zheng and the others. Remember, you must tell Sister Zheng every word of what happened today. Do you understand?"

The words already conveyed a sense of farewell.

Luo Pei, however, had tears in her eyes. She had been with Xue Yan the longest, and the two were like sisters. Although she was not good with words, she was not a heartless person.

At that moment, Luo Pei bit her finger, formed a complex hand seal, and pressed it to the ground. Instantly, countless spikes rapidly emerged from the ground centered on her.

"Get out of the way!" Aubrey shouted, taking the lead in retreating rapidly. A spike grazed his forehead, nearly causing him to collapse to the ground in fright.

The experts who were besieging him were also dodging the ground spikes, but after this move, Luo Pei had no more power to attack.

"Why are you doing this to yourself!" Xue Yan stepped forward and hugged the swaying Luo Pei, feeling heartbroken. Luo Pei was unwilling to abandon her, so how could she ignore Luo Pei?

"It seems I'll die here today!" Xue Yan thought with a heavy heart.

Just then, a bee the size of a finger flew over and buzzed to land on her shoulder.
