Chapter 2302 Killing Through the long pathway, they entered the central hall of the Temple of Incantation. …. “What!” Rudyard’s pupils contracted sharply as he looked towards the figure appearing in the center of the hall. Almost instantly, Rudyard recognized the figure! “Fang Heng!” The Leaf tribe’s current plight had a close connection with the person standing before them! But wasn’t he supposed to be dead?! Fang Heng slowly turned around, his gaze fixed on Rudyard and his companions. “Well done…” Fang Heng muttered softly to himself. From the lifeblood ripples he sensed, the Leaf tribe had sent an elder and two quasi-elder-level individuals this time. If he managed to kill them all, perhaps he could obtain something valuable. “Fang Heng, it’s you.” Rudyard stared intensely at Fang Heng, his mind on high alert. It was strange; Fang Heng’s aura was incredibly well concealed. Rudyard only sensed his presence after entering the hall. “What have you done to the Temple of Incantation? Where are the others here?” “Nothing much, I just happened to come here to see an old friend and coincidentally stumbled upon a Temple of Incantation.” Fang Heng replied, looking at Rudyard. “Let’s not talk about that. Since I’ve encountered you, there’s something I want to consult you about. Regarding the coordinates of the Sacred Tree branches, I guess the Leaf tribe still has more branches in your possession. If I want to exchange some from you, what price do I need to pay?” “Humph, playing games!” Rudyard snorted heavily. “Since you’re here, come back with me to our tribe!” “Chi…” In the next moment, several vines surged from the ground, swiftly climbing up as Fang Heng moved rapidly. “Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!” At the same time, dense magic arrays appeared around Fang Heng! A large number of Lickers darted out from the magic arrays, heading straight toward the surrounding Leaf tribe members. “Be careful! Don’t let him escape!” It was not Rudyard’s first time encountering a Licker, so he naturally knew the advantages and disadvantages of the Licker. He immediately guessed that Fang Heng wanted to use the Licker to create chaos and escape. “Whoosh! Whoosh!!” Huh? Rudyard’s heart skipped a beat. What was going on? The Licker’s movement speed had undergone a dramatic change since their last encounter! “Bang!!!” A Licker was sent flying backward, heart pierced by a natural arrow, firmly pinned to the wooden wall, struggling frantically. It could slowly free itself from the arrow’s restraint! Before Rudyard could ponder further, more Lickers swarmed in! “Hiss! Hiss!!!” In the next moment, the Temple of Incantation transformed! Dense red wooden spikes jutted out from every corner of the walls and floor. Countless vines relentlessly extended, creeping toward the Leaf tribe! Together with the Lickers, Rudyard and the other members of the Leaf tribe were in big trouble. “Fall back!” Rudyard suddenly recalled Vannes’ previous encounter and became alert. Initially skeptical upon first hearing about these events. It turned out they were all true! Fang Heng! What method did he use to secretly control the Temple of Incantation? Rudyard extended the protective barrier to its limit, guiding everyone away from the temple amidst the onslaught of vines and Lickers. What!? Just as they left the domain of the Temple of Incantation, Rudyard sensed a sudden surge of danger and swiftly looked up. Above the temple, several figures hovered in the air. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶 Humans? The lifeblood strength emanating from them was eerily similar to Fang Heng’s! The Princes of the vampires raised their hands. This was not good! In the next moment, Rudyard’s pupils contracted sharply. High up in the sky, waves of concentrated bloody bombs blasted downwards! “Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!” The vampires, following Fang Heng’s orders, had long been lying in wait high above the outside world, ready to unleash indiscriminate blood-colored bombs as soon as the Leaf tribe emerged! The high-intensity bombardment lasted a full minute! Rudyard and two newly promoted elders forcefully held up their defensive shields to withstand this onslaught. Just as they were about to counterattack, dense spikes once again shot up from the ground all around them! Simultaneously, a swarm of Lickers converged from all directions! Rudyard now realized they had fallen into Fang Heng’s ambush! “Don’t engage them, follow me, retreat…” “Whoosh!!!” Before Rudyard could finish his sentence, he suddenly sensed an aura approaching from his right. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and unleashed a highly condensed natural arrow forward! The natural arrow collided with the lifeblood spike that was approaching from not far away with a loud bang! It was the power of lifeblood! Fang Heng! Rudyard stared intently at the scene not far away. From the burst lifeblood emerged Fang Heng’s face, after increasing his mental strength more than twice over, Fang Heng had become even more adept at controlling the power of lifeblood, and correspondingly increased the intensity of his attacks! After missing his attack, Fang Heng immediately placed his hands in front of him and clenched them. The blood that exploded around him quickly gathered and condensed into a blade that appeared in Fang Heng’s hand. “Whoosh!!!” Fang Heng tightened his grip on the cleaver and swung fiercely forward! “Ka!!!” Rudyard gritted his teeth, once again deploying his dark blue shield to withstand the blow. “Boom!!!!” The shield lasted less than half a second before it shattered with a resounding boom, sending Rudyard and over ten Leaf tribe guards flying from the force of the explosion! What’s going on? How did this guy suddenly change so drastically? Rudyard’s face showed a mixture of astonishment and disbelief. He had witnessed Fang Heng in action before and thought he understood Fang Heng’s abilities reasonably well. Why had Fang Heng’s power increased so dramatically in such a short time? “Whoosh!!!” Rudyard was forced back by the slash, but he was still retreating rapidly in midair. He watched as Fang Heng’s figure turned into a bloody light and approached him rapidly again! “Bang! Bang! Bang!!!” Fang Heng directly consumed his blood power and attacked Rudyard without caring about the consumption! A layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on Rudyard’s forehead. He was somewhat unable to block it! He had never thought that he would be forced to such an extent by a human. “What!?” Suddenly, Rudyard’s heart jumped as a vast amount of lifeblood condensed into a massive curtain ahead, enveloping him completely! It seemed to swallow him whole as if intent on devouring him entirely! For a moment, Rudyard was surrounded by a sea of crimson lifeblood! “Whoosh!” Rudyard forcefully clasped his hands together in front of him and shouted, “Explode!!!” “Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!” A violent natural aura exploded outward with Rudyard as the origin! The aura that exploded outward instantly scattered the surrounding lifeblood power! Even Fang Heng, who was raising his spear to stab at Rudyard, was affected and retreated! Taking advantage of the explosion of natural power, Rudyard finally managed to get a chance to catch his breath and put some distance between him and Fang Heng. Before he could launch his next attack, he raised his eyebrows.
