On the chaotic battlefield, Ke Le and Ban Jiu worked tirelessly to fend off the Evil Blood Earth Dragon's attacks, while the remaining Zero Wing members frantically cleared out the heavily wounded demons and demonic beasts, rapidly reducing their numbers.
The tide of battle had completely turned in Zero Wing's favor.
This only made the Zero Wing members more and more excited as they fought.
The overwhelming offensive power of their magic weapons was nothing like the gear they normally used. Even though they were only First Rank, they could still hold their own against Leader-level monsters, and with a burst of power at critical moments, they could even suppress them — allowing them to cut down demons and demonic beasts at an astonishing pace.
Every demon and demonic beast they killed didn't drop any loot, but the experience points they gained were enormous.
In just a short while, their experience points were increasing at a visible rate.
At their level, the experience required was massive. Sometimes they'd have to grind monsters for over ten minutes just to see a sliver of progress. But now, in less than three hours, they could likely level up entirely.
Naturally, they wanted this terrifying leveling speed to continue indefinitely.
Not to mention the Zero Wing members — even the various major powers watching from the Ancient Divine Ruins felt a twinge of envy.
Such densely concentrated high-level monsters were extremely rare in the Divine Realm. Normally, players would avoid them even if they encountered them — fighting such a monster army inevitably led to casualties, making it a losing proposition altogether.
Now that Ke Le and Ban Jiu of the Zero Wing Guild could pin down the Evil Blood Earth Dragon while the rest completely suppressed the demons and demonic beasts, how could they not be envious of such safe and efficient grinding?
"The Beast Emperor will probably have to retreat empty-handed this time." Watching the demons and demonic beasts begin to withdraw, Xuan Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After this battle, the Beast Emperor would no longer be able to do anything to the Zero Wing Guild in the Ancient Divine Ruins.
By then, even without NPC protection, Silver Wing Town would have the strength to defend itself — not to mention that, at the very least, within the territory of the Ancient Divine Ruins, Zero Wing would have the final say.
"Sister Xuan Jing, look over there — it seems like a few dark players have charged forward." Jun Biyao suddenly pointed at six figures speeding through the distance. "They look like they're about to make a move on Zero Wing."
These six were none other than the members of the Dark Hunter adventure team.
"What incredible stealth skills... Who are they?" Xuan Jing watched the six rapidly moving figures, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.
As one of the vice hall masters of the Sacred Hall, she not only possessed formidable strength herself but also had exceptional powers of observation.
Although all six wore black cloaks that concealed their identities and appearances, Xuan Jing could tell from their movements that they were all Second Rank classes. Second Rank classes had vastly superior base stats compared to First Rank, and their mobility was on an entirely different level — so recognizing their rank wasn't particularly difficult.
But compared to their rank, what truly astonished her was the way they moved.
The six moved in complete silence, and even amidst crowds of monsters, they could seamlessly use the creatures' bodies and auras to conceal themselves. In terms of pure stealth and aura suppression, she might not have been their equal.
If she hadn't been observing from a great distance with a clear view of the entire battlefield, it would have been impossible to detect the six of them at all.
"No way! Are the Dark Hunters actually making a move?" Chi Gui, who had long since fled the battlefield, stared at the six dark shadows steadily closing in on Zero Wing's forces, his heart filled with disbelief.
Zero Wing's advantage was already more than obvious. Charging in to fight them now made no sense whatsoever, yet the six from the Dark Hunters were doing exactly that — leaving him thoroughly perplexed.
Meanwhile, Lie Feng Zhui Hun on the other side had also noticed the six Dark Hunters.
"Are they going to make a move?" The furrow between Lie Feng Zhui Hun's brows eased slightly.
The Dark Hunters adventure team hadn't originally been on his invitation list — the Beast Emperor had personally brought them in. The Beast Emperor had also specifically warned him not to provoke the Dark Hunters casually, which went to show that even the Beast Emperor was somewhat wary of them.
He'd been rather dismissive of this at first, but after seeing that all six Dark Hunters were Second Rank classes, he'd paid them a bit more attention. It wasn't until he'd actually crossed swords with one of them that he fully understood just how strong the six of them really were.
If all six attacked together, even a thousand-man elite squad would be in serious trouble.
That was precisely why, when the Dark Hunters said they wanted to hunt down Zero Wing's top players, he had agreed without hesitation.
He'd originally thought the Dark Hunters had given up, but it turned out they were still making their move.
