During the two days of rest, on the damage rankings, the major guilds were still chasing each other.
Although Tianxuan's damage points were growing much slower than before, they had already reached 37000 points.
Azure Dragon caught up from 24000 to Lord God, getting close to 32000, and had already jumped to second place, while Lord God was currently in third.
And behind Lord God, some of the powerful guilds were also closing the gap.
However, none of the five major bosses had been killed so far. Instead, there had been multiple full party wipes.
The boss battle progress in Zone Sixteen seemed to have fallen into a standstill.
Two days later, the Lord God members had completely recovered. The dozen or so people who had died in the previous fights had also used the green channel advantage to rejoin the team.
At a time when their troops were strong and their morale high, Jiang Kai, He Shishi, Zhou Chu, and the other core members gathered again to discuss the next step.
Looking at the map, among the remaining five bosses, aside from the Dog King which no one was touching, the other four were already surrounded by a large number of green dots. Without even thinking, it was clear that with only these four bosses left, almost all the guilds were now gathered near the boss territories, repeatedly trying to kill them.
"There have been several more large scale team wipes these past two days," Zhou Ting introduced.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Kai finally spoke. "Zhou Ting, have there been any large scale hunts scheduled recently?"
"Yes. Tomorrow morning, Tianxuan, Azure Dragon, Demon Slayer, and Xiaoyao, four major guilds, are preparing to jointly hunt the Female Ghost King. Xuanwu, Eastern, Kunlun, and Tianchi, four major guilds, are preparing to jointly hunt the Rat King. Tomorrow afternoon, Wanhua, Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Sword, and Huashan, four major guilds, are preparing to jointly hunt the Turtle King. Xuanyuan, Starfall, Junlin, Wudang, and Penglai, five major guilds, will jointly hunt the Savage Bull King."
Jiang Kai frowned. "Xuanwu is going to hunt the Rat King? Is Godslayer there too?"
"These kinds of messages usually only mention the top ten guilds, and some of the stronger ancient martial arts guilds…" Zhou Chan said.
Jiang Kai nodded. Godslayer was, after all, not yet a top ten guild, so they did not even have the qualification to be mentioned. But with Xuanwu there, they were probably there too.
"Really interesting. I was already planning to kill the Rat King first. I did not expect enemies to meet on such a narrow road and run into them… In that case, we will go kill the Rat King first!" Jiang Kai said. "Among the five remaining bosses, the Rat King is relatively the least threatening. It and its guards digging underground to break formations is indeed troublesome, but since we have fewer people, as long as we stick tightly together, we are not afraid of it ruining the formation."
"Besides, I have the advantage when dealing with demon clans."
Hu Yan and Ruan Yu both nodded. The boss's demon slaying sword had not even gone into action yet. Since the Dog King could not be touched right now, then the Rat King was the only demon clan boss left, so of course it had to be hunted first.
After confirming the target, Lord God and Qingyun moved toward the higher ground of Qingfeng Mountain, heading for the Rat King's territory.
...
Near the territory of the Vajra Rat Demon King, the place was already packed with people.
The area closest to the Rat King's territory was already filled by people from the four major guilds.
On the outer ring of their camps, there were many members of the four major guilds patrolling back and forth, their eyes fixed on the other guilds farther outside, their expressions serious.
There were people in charge everywhere, constantly shouting at those who had just arrived.
"All newcomers listen up. Tomorrow morning our four major guilds will launch an attack on the Rat King. No one is allowed to enter the boss territory right now!"
"You can join the boss fight to farm some damage, but you should all know the Rat Demon's skills. I advise you to look in the mirror before joining the fight. If you do not have the strength, hurry up and leave early."
After hearing this, Jiang Kai did not say much. He first led his team to find a place to set up camp.
They did not have many people, so it was fairly easy to find somewhere to settle down. Very quickly they found an inconspicuous area and made camp.
Just then, several dozen people came down from the mountain and marched aggressively toward Jiang Kai's camp.
The moment he saw the leading few, Jiang Kai let out a cold snort.
Liu Yuanxiang, Huang Jianguo, and the others brought several dozen War Gods and barged into Lord God's camp.
"Yo, who do we have here? Isn't this Jiang Kai?" From far away, Huang Jianguo shouted in a mocking tone, drawing quite a few looks from the surroundings.
Sun Yuan leaned over to Hu Yan and asked quietly, "Who are these guys? They do not look friendly."
Hu Yan snorted with disdain. "Huang Jianguo is Captain Kai's sworn enemy, and that Liu Yuanxiang is no good either. He has tried to set Captain Kai up several times."
"Damn, and we are supposed to just take that?!" Sun Yuan said angrily.
Hu Yan grabbed him and shook his head. "Xuanwu is not something you can deal with just by fighting one or two times. Do not mess things up. Leave it to Captain Kai."
Sun Yuan nodded.
Jiang Kai did not even get up. He just sat there drinking tea. Even when Liu Yuanxiang and the others arrived in front of him, he did not look at them.
"Jiang Kai, your Lord God is really something, actually hooking up with Qingyun," Huang Jianguo stood in front of Jiang Kai, looking at the people behind him and then at Zhou Chu. "Even though Qingyun has fallen for many years, it is still an ancient martial arts guild. A camel that has died is still bigger than a horse. President Zhou, you really cannot think straight, teaming up with Lord God?"
"Look at the people in your Lord God. What kind of trash are they? How many War Gods are there? And yet their damage ranking is higher than yours. Did they scam you?"
Zhou Chu had long known about Jiang Kai's feud with the Huang family and Xuanwu.
His grandmaster had been framed by them. The fact that Zhou Chu had not exploded on the spot already showed restraint, and he had no good words for Huang Jianguo.
He turned to Elder Wan and asked, "Who is this uncultured fellow?"
Although Elder Wan was not very clear about Jiang Kai's identity, he knew the sect master too well. From the tone of his words, he could naturally tell that the sect master did not like this person.
"President, this person is Huang Jianguo, the guild leader of Godslayer."
"Godslayer? What kind of trash guild is that, daring to shout in front of Qingyun? Does he not even pee and look at what kind of thing he is?"
Elder Wan curled his lips. "Just a Class A guild. Indeed not worth mentioning."
Hearing the exchange between those two, Huang Jianguo's face immediately darkened.
Godslayer was much larger than Lord God, but a Class A guild talking trash to an ancient martial arts guild and getting humiliated was well deserved.
Unless he announced that he would soon be merging back into Xuanwu, but that matter was still confidential and not convenient to make public.
After being scolded by Zhou Chu, Huang Jianguo had nothing to say.
At this moment, Liu Yuanxiang spoke up. With a smile on his face, he said to Jiang Kai, "Everyone, calm down. There is nothing that cannot be talked out."
Jiang Kai looked at Liu Yuanxiang coldly.
If he had to choose between Huang Jianguo and Liu Yuanxiang as the one he hated more, Liu Yuanxiang was even more despicable than the Huang family.
The Huang family's evil was out in the open. They bullied Jiang Kai's family and then kept retaliating against him, suppressing him, assassinating him, and they did not bother to hide it.
But Liu Yuanxiang was one way in public and another behind the scenes. Back then he promised Jiang Kai that he would expel the Huang family, and then turned around and founded the Godslayer guild.
More importantly, this guy had connections with the weird ones. Jiang Kai suspected that he was the mastermind who sent Tyrant Evil Flame, the Heart Devouring Woman, and four sixth tier weird ones to assassinate him underground!
Looking at Liu Yuanxiang, Jiang Kai suddenly smiled faintly and stood up. "President Liu, what are you talking about? What grudges do we have between us? There is nothing like that at all."
Liu Yuanxiang froze for a moment. Jiang Kai's face changing speed was really fast. This kid was much more mature than he had been more than a year ago.
"Right, right, there are no grudges at all," Liu Yuanxiang went along with Jiang Kai's words. "Oh right, you are here this time to farm damage too, right? I see your Lord God's ranking is very high, even higher than our Xuanwu."
Jiang Kai smiled slightly. "Yeah. We cannot beat the boss anyway, so we can only farm some damage."
"In that case, I will arrange you a good spot. This Rat King is very sly. It digs underground to break formations, and that easily causes team wipes."
"Really? Thanks, President Liu, but we will just farm some small monsters around the edges. We will not trouble President Liu to worry about us."
"So that is how it is… fine. Anyway, when the time comes we will send more experts to protect you around you! Everyone is a friend after all. We should still help with this little thing." Liu Yuanxiang smiled. "Oh right, you absolutely must not cross the boundary. Mainly we are worried about your safety."
Jiang Kai narrowed his eyes slightly.
This guy was planning to block Lord God from grabbing the boss during the boss fight.
"All right, I still have to discuss things with the other three guild leaders. Oh right, Kunlun is here too. Kunlun's Miss Chang Siyao is here. You still remember her, right? The one who rejected your pursuit. She is here too. We still need to discuss things with her."
"Ah, this time there are so many高手 gathered. If someone overestimates himself and comes to grab the boss, in the chaos it is very easy to get accidentally injured. I must go back and give them some instructions." After saying that, Liu Yuanxiang led his people away from Jiang Kai's camp.
Zhao Tiequan immediately came over. "Damn, watching you two talk with honey on your lips and knives in your bellies almost made me want to puke."
Jiang Kai shot Zhao Tiequan a look. "You think I am not disgusted?"
Ouyang Yi shook his head. "Captain Kai, you lost. The moment he mentioned Chang Siyao, you lost! Now everyone knows you got rejected by Chang Siyao."
Jiang Kai snorted coldly and said in a bad mood, "You are the one who lost!"
"Women only affect my efficiency in grabbing bosses! Last time I helped Xuanwu kill a boss, I even let them have the final kill, but this time, they should pay back what they owe me!"
