Chapter 445 - 173: Hong Quan, Your End is Near! (13055 words) _5
The gap in strength between Guardian Beasts of different ranks is truly vast!
As expected…
The moment the four warriors and their Guardian Beasts engaged Hong Quan, they immediately fell at a disadvantage!
They can’t beat Hong Quan at all!
If no stronger fighters arrive from East Sea City, these four won’t last long!
Chen Fan started to get anxious again.
Is it because the situation at East Sea City is so intense that they can’t send stronger fighters?
No, that’s not right!
Chen Fan’s expression shifted slightly.
From when he first sent a message to Master Zhang Hai until now, only a mere ten minutes had passed!
These four didn’t rush over from East Sea City!
Even a level 19 Black Feather Rhinoceros Bird wouldn’t be able to reach Crescent Mountain so quickly from East Sea City!
The four black-armored experts were likely already in the vicinity of Crescent Mountain!
Chen Fan rubbed his chin and noticed that three drones flew past overhead, circling repeatedly above him.
Drones…
Chen Fan had a sudden realization.
He remembered noticing a network signal when he was near the altar earlier.
It seemed that Master Zhang Hai deployed some people to follow him after receiving the chat screenshot he had sent.
Chen Fan was able to receive a signal and communicate with East Sea City because several drones were circling overhead on Crescent Mountain.
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, a plan forming in his mind…
The four black-armored experts at hand must also realize they can’t beat Hong Quan, even if they join forces.
However, they were nearby and quickly came to aid, not only in an attempt to locate Chen Fan but also to restrain Hong Quan!
If they can hold back this old monster for a little while, fighters stronger than them will certainly arrive from East Sea City!
“But they seem too weak…”
Chen Fan watched as Hong Quan and the demon beat the four people back and he began to worry for them.
If this continues, by the time reinforcements from East Sea City arrive, these four people will already be killed by Hong Quan and the demon!
“Puff!”
A wounded black-armored woman was hit again, her armor cut open and blood spilled out!
Fortunately, a golden-armored weasel dashed forward, using its spinning wind force to fend off Hong Quan.
Otherwise, their team would have lost a member!
“Going on like this won’t work…”
Chen Fan glanced at the battleground, which was a bit farther away now, and looked around carefully.
There was a huge stone to his left.
If he opened the gate to the Beastmaster’s Space behind this stone, Hong Quan wouldn’t be able to see it.
But, the distance was too close…
As soon as he went out, Hong Quan would sense him.
If those four couldn’t hold Hong Quan back and he rushed over, he might be able to kill Chen Fan with a single slap!
Chen Fan touched the armor he wore, opening its chest cavity to replace all the Crystal Cores inside.
Four 31st grade Crystal Cores…
He had originally bought these on credit to help the Guardian Beasts of the three Grandmasters from the City Lord’s Mansion make a breakthrough.
Now to save himself, he had to use them first.
The loss of these 31st-grade Crystal Cores was a bitter pill for Chen Fan to swallow.
Chen Fan fitted all the Crystal Cores in place.
He pressed lightly against his chest with his palm, immediately maxing out the defense of his chest armor.
Knowing that Chen Fan was about to leave, Snowy anxiously tugged on his hand with its little paw.
“Don’t worry.”
Chen Fan gently stroked Snowy’s head, saying, “The defense of this Battle Armor I’m wearing is extremely high.”
“Also, I have two sets of shields on my wrist and the defense ring from the Sky Demon Sect Leader.”
As Chen Fan spoke, he poured a strand of Star Power into the ring.
A shield immediately appeared around him, then slowly affixed itself to his armor.
After accomplishing these tasks, Chen Fan turned to Little Qing: “Little Qing, please add one more layer of armor for me.”
Little Qing nodded and, using every bit of her Star Power, gave Chen Fan an “Azure Crystal Armor”.
“Stay here and don’t move.”
Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the other side of the Beastmaster Space.
After glancing at the battle on the other side, Chen Fan quietly exited through the Spatial Gate.
Even though he was being extremely cautious…
Hong Quan still turned to look his way the moment he stepped out!
“Damn!”
Chen Fan cursed silently.
The sensitivity of a Fifth Level Fourth Layer ranking fighter is way too overwhelming, isn’t it?
Chen Fan poked his head out from behind the large rock and waved at Hong Quan: “Hello, Old Monster Hong, we meet again!”
The four black-armored experts were shocked!
Chen Fan was here too?
When you were hiding so well, why would you come out?!
They saw Hong Quan laugh bitterly and after pushing a black-armored man and a mammoth back with one hand, he rushed toward Chen Fan like a bolt of lightning!
“Hong Quan!”
Taking advantage of the situation, a female black-armored powerhouse hurled her long spear.
The spear transformed into an Azure Dragon, roaring loudly as it bit toward Hong Quan!
The other three, taking advantage of the Sickle Weasel holding back the Fear Demon, rushed forward several steps and charged at Hong Quan!
Hong Quan realized the danger and had to turn back. He flashed his palm, aiming for the Azure Dragon.
“Huh!”
The fast-approaching Azure Dragon shone brightly before transforming into a chain, binding Hong Quan’s wrist in an instant!
The female black-armored powerhouse holding the other end of the chain gave it a strong yank!
Unable to resist, Hong Quan staggered forward!
At the same time, the other three seized the chance to attack Hong Quan relentlessly, causing him to struggle to defend.
While Hong Quan was fighting against the four, Chen Fan raced out of the area, which was already destroyed by the Fear Demon, and reached the edge of the forest.
