Chapter 798 Start Of A War (4)
Both of them looked up to be surprised by the dark clouds that had gathered above them.
As for the booming sound, that came from the thunder and lightning that was currently
running through these clouds.
However, what confused them was that this was heavenly thunder, the kind that only fell when one broke through into the Soul Realm. There was no way that there was someone breaking through in this kind of place, so why was there heavenly thunder gathering?
The stranger thing was that the heavenly thunder was gathering right above Fei Jun.
Fei Jun could sense the danger coming from it, so ignoring Lin Fan, he immediately turned to run away.
But before he could run, the first bolt of heavenly thunder fell down on him.
Fei Jun released all of his life energy to resist, but he found that his life energy barrier collapsed with a single touch of the heavenly thunder. This heavenly thunder gave him a pressure that he had never felt before, it was even greater than the pressure that the True Soul Realm Experts that he met felt…
The thunder wasn't stopped for even a second as it pierced right through his body, burning it into a crisp in an instant. By the time that Lin Fan could react, Fei Jun's body had already turned completely black.
Then with a simple breeze, he was turned into ashes in the wind.
No one could understand what had just happened, but they were certain that it happened since it happened right in front of their eyes.
After the ashes scattered, there wasn't a single thing left. The heavenly thunder had turned all the items that Fei Jun had on him into ashes, which included his Storage Ring.
Lin Fan naturally didn't covet the things that Fei Jun had, but he did want to check out that orb that he had used. That was not something that Fei Jun could have gotten himself, so he wanted to see just what kind of a thing it was.
As well, he wanted to see if Fei Jun had anything else given to him by Bing Jun and Huo Fei.
If possible, he wanted to use them against them just like the items that he had taken from them before.
But it was too bad that the heavenly thunder had turned everything that Fei Jun had owned to ashes.
Lin Fan couldn't help looking at the sky with a strange look as the clouds that had gathered there were slowly dissipating. It didn't take long before the clouds had completely disappeared.
Seeing this, Lin Fan was certain that the heavenly thunder had gathered all because of Fei Jun. However, what he couldn't understand was why something like that happened.
After all, Fei Jun himself was just a normal person, so how could he attract something like heavenly thunder?
Could it be related to the items that he had used?
This was actually the right thinking since it was because of the dagger that he had used in the end that had attracted the heavenly thunder.
Fei Jun had used a dagger that was infused with death laws that surpassed the limits of the realm, this was a clear challenge to the will of the world that controlled the heavenly thunder.
Since it had been challenged, naturally it couldn't back down without doing a thing.
So it had sent the heavenly thunder down at Fei Jun as a backlash of using laws that surpassed the limits of this world.
Seeing how Fei Jun had disappeared without a trace, it seemed like the will of the world had used all of its might to smite him…The will of the world of the Galactic Humanity Alliance really was prideful.
Lin Fan had wanted to take some time to catch their breath and regroup the Tamers Guild after Fei Jun had been taken out, but they didn't get a chance at all. Not long after Fei Jun had been killed, there was another messenger that came asking for help.
This time, it was the Hunters Organization that had been attacked and it was much more serious than the attack here.
While the Tamers Guild had suffered because of Fei Jun stealing their pets, it wasn't as if they couldn't hold on with the power of their True Soul Realm Experts. They were just unwilling to kill the pets that they had spent so much time training since that would decrease their battle power.
In this period where the war was just beginning, if they cut down all of these pets, the Tamers Guild would have been effectively crippled and unable to continue in this war. So they had been retreating the entire time and trying to find a way to rescue the pets that had been captured from them.
But they had been unable to think of a single method of doing so, which had caused them to lose all this ground and suffer all those casualties.
It was a good thing that Lin Fan had saved them from this dilemma.
While Lin Fan's punch had sent most of the pets that he hit flying, he had held back enough that it wouldn't injure them. He just used his suction power to pull out all the dark energy that had invaded their bodies, which had also been controlling them, allowing them to break free of Fei Jun's control.
He had tried absorbing the power and he had found that it was unlike any law that he had seen before. It didn't form a statue inside of his dantian like all the other laws, instead, it just turned into energy that was absorbed by Lin Fan.
So he had wanted to take a closer look at the orb that Fei Jun had used.
It was just too bad that…
But of course, there was no time to cry over spilt milk.
Lin Fan immediately gathered everyone that was still capable of fighting and rushed to the Hunters Organization. He even pulled in the Tamers Guild experts that were still left capable of fighting.
That was because the report had stated that there were over fifty True Soul Realm Beasts that had suddenly appeared to attack the Hunters Organization!
Fifty True Soul Realm Beasts, that was more than the total number of True Soul Realm Experts that all of the twelve great factions had.
While these True Soul Realm Beasts without any masters to coordinate with meant that they would be weaker than True Soul Realm Beasts that fought with their masters, but they were still True Soul Realm Beasts and they had the number advantage. With just the True Soul Realm Experts of the Hunters Organization, it would be like smashing an egg with a rock.
There would be more than enough True Soul Realm Beasts to completely overwhelm the Hunters Organization.
It was in this kind of situation that all of the nine great factions had to come together and fight together to resist the power of the True Soul Realm Beasts.
But the one thing that Lin Fan was worried about was the fact that there were no traces of Bing Jun or Huo Fei in these reports. It was as if they had never taken a single step on the battlefield, which made Lin Fan worried.
There was no doubt that the two of them would show themselves after the show that they had made. If they were to back down now, it would be a problem of pride for them.
So the fact that they hadn't shown up yet most likely meant that they had some kind of plan that they were waiting to put into effect. This would most certainly be a problem if they were to all gather together to face the True Soul Realm Beasts…
But even if it did feel like a trap, Lin Fan had no choice but to rush to the Hunters Organization's aid. After all, if one of the nine factions were to be taken down that quickly, it would be a large blow to them.
They needed everyone that they could get, so even if it was a trap, they would at least fall into the trap together.
This was the exact same thought that all the other factions had, so they also rushed to the aid of the Hunters Organization even knowing that it was most likely a trap.
But when they arrived, they were shocked by the scene that appeared in front of them.
It wasn't a scene of carnage as they had expected, but rather it was a scene of peace.
The two lines were just standing there facing each other, but they could see the different beasts that were spread out among one of those lines. These were the True Soul Realm Beasts that the enemy had brought.
But none of this made any sense.
Why would they bring True Soul Realm Beasts and just reveal them like this?
Why would they give up the element of surprise that they had by revealing them like this?
Moreover, why didn't they attack when they had first arrived and had allowed reinforcements for the Hunters Organization to come?
No matter how one looked at it, it didn't seem like the logical thing to do.
It seemed careless, it seemed foolish, it even seemed...arrogant.
Were they that confident that they would win? Was that why they had acted like this?
But where did their confidence come from?
Was it from these fifty True Soul Realm Beasts or was it from something else like they had expected?
