Chapter 20 - Chapter 20 Capture the King First? The Hand of the Ruler!

"Speaking of which, are you really planning to keep watching like this? That guy is about to take all the resources of the entire school," Zhao Tao from the Zhao Family said.

"Hmph, Zhao Tao, it seems you can't sit still either," Bai Zangfeng said.

"That Necromancer named Cheng Xiao certainly has the strength to be arrogant, but this is Shanghai after all.

"If we let an unknown guy steal our limelight, how will we ever make a name for ourselves in Shanghai later?

"The fact that all of you are lined up here means you're also annoyed with that guy. Middle-Rank ones, don't hide, let's work together and completely take him down!"

"I'll do it, to avenge my younger brother," Zhuang Lifeng stepped forward and said.

"Although I really dislike your Bai Family, I agree to cooperate this time," Dongfang Wei of the Dongfang Family also joined this crusade.

From the back of the group, Lu Yilin from the Lu Family walked out arrogantly:

"To be honest, I really didn't want to take advantage of someone's difficult situation, but who told that guy to incur public wrath? Count me in."

Zhao Tao immediately became interested:

"Three of Shanghai's four great aristocratic families are here, what about the last one, the Mu Family?"

"As far as I know, the only one from the Mu Family who broke through to Middle-Rank this year is Mu Nujiao, and she has a very good relationship with Cheng Xiao," Dongfang Wei explained.

"That's really a shame… Hey, Fatty over there, what's wrong? Not going to join the fun?" Zhao Tao shouted in another direction.

"Hmph, you'd better not drag me down," Luo Song said stubbornly.

The last time he was so scared that his legs went soft by that large ant Undead, there was actually an element of carelessness.

This time, with five Middle-Rank teammates, he should be able to defeat that guy, right?

He should be able to, Luo Song thought.

"The Zhao Family, the Dongfang Family, the Lu Family, the Bai Family, the Zhuang Family, and another Middle-Rank expert! Unbelievable, what a luxurious lineup!"

"It seems the aristocratic scions hidden among the new students can't sit still anymore; they're even willing to humble themselves and team up to crusade against Cheng Xiao!"

"Phew, that was close! If Cheng Xiao had defeated twenty more people, he would have taken all the resources of all elements. Thankfully, these aristocratic scions stepped in."

"…"

The joint crusade of these six aristocratic scions against Cheng Xiao undoubtedly boosted the confidence of the new students.

With six aristocratic scions, backed by vast resources, joining forces, could they possibly not deal with a War General Level?

They could probably blast that Commander-level Undead into smithereens.

The deans of the various departments also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

This farce was finally coming to an end. If Cheng Xiao really took all the resources of all elements, the impact would be extraordinarily significant…

"These Middle-Rank mages are actually teaming up; it seems they're really scared, Mu Nujiao, aren't you going to join the fun?" Ai Tutu asked, enjoying the spectacle.

"Whether I'm there or not, the result will be the same," Mu Nujiao shook her head.

"No way? Mu Nujiao, is that guy really that terrifying? So much so that you have no desire to challenge him?" Ai Tutu asked in surprise.

"If it were truly a challenge, then this kind of team crusade is meaningless," Mu Nujiao said.

"Keep watching, you'll know the answer."

Ai Tutu pouted:

"So mysterious. I want to see how this Cheng Xiao, who has you so utterly captivated, will deal with those aristocratic young masters."

Ye Xin Xia did not join the two girls' discussion. She never worried about the enemies Cheng Xiao was about to face.

Because she knew, Cheng Xiao brother was invincible.

.........

The six Middle-Rank mages teaming up to go on stage for the crusade caused a huge cheer from the audience.

It was as if they had long regarded these six Middle-Rank mages as great heroes, ready to crusade against that unyielding demon king!

"Six Middle-Rank… This should be the strongest combat power all new students can gather, right?" Cheng Xiao's expression didn't change much as he asked:

"Yegret, can you handle it?"

"Reporting to my Monarch, no problem!"

The black armor on Yegret's body already had multiple cracks.

But this did not affect Yegret's combat power. Shadow Soldiers have no pain, but they can know their own status…

"I admit, you have enough capital to be arrogant, but it stops here!"

Lu Yilin spoke in a condescending tone, and dazzling golden star maps had already appeared around him.

"What are you wasting words on him for? Attack!" Dongfang Wei completed his Middle-Rank magic faster:

"Blazing Fist—Sky Shatter!"

Fire Element magic and Light Element magic have something in common in certain aspects, which is that they can both dispel darkness!

Dispelling the dark death aura would completely expose Yegret's whereabouts, preventing him from hiding and performing individual 'assassinations'!

Yegret currently possessed War General Level strength, and the speed he burst out with was enough to avoid the Blazing Fist.

But just as Yegret made a move, the ground beneath his feet shifted, slowing Yegret's speed by a few points.

"Earth Wave—Delay!" Luo Song seized the opportunity and skillfully used the Earth Element primary magic.

Just being a few points slower was enough for the Blazing Fist to hit Yegret.

Unable to avoid it, Yegret drew the huge longsword from his waist and slashed it towards the scorching hot Blazing Fist.

Original is being watched!

Darkness and flame collided, with the former clearly more powerful, actually extinguishing the Blazing Fist!

"He actually used his more domineering dark power to negate my Blazing Fist!" Dongfang Wei looked shocked.

Fire Element power has an elemental suppression effect on Dark Element power, yet the opponent extinguished his Blazing Fist with Dark Element power.

This could only mean that the two sides were not on the same level at all; the opponent was so strong that he could directly ignore elemental suppression of the same level!

Whoosh!

Yegret clearly experienced the power of Middle-Rank Fire Element, bursting out with extreme speed, heading straight for Dongfang Wei!

Although the Blazing Fist was not fatal to Yegret, if he were truly hit, he would still suffer considerable injuries.

Yegret wanted to deal with this destructive mage first…

"Light Blessing—Holy Shield!"

Lu Yilin completed his Light Element Middle-Rank magic, unfolding a golden barrier of light in front of Dongfang Wei.

"Now this is a little more interesting," a strange white glow flashed in Yegret's eyes, clearly igniting his fighting spirit.

As a Shadow Soldiers, Light Element energy would also have an elemental suppression effect on Yegret.

But Yegret did not avoid it, clenching his right fist and smashing it directly onto the light barrier.

Bang!!!

The Holy Shield shattered instantly, and Lu Yilin and Dongfang Wei were also knocked back more than ten meters.

Suddenly, Yegret seemed to sense something and did not press the advantage, instead turning to look in the direction where Cheng Xiao stood.

In the dark death aura to Cheng Xiao's right, a shadow instantly condensed into a human form.

"Your Commander-level Undead is indeed terrifying, but Undead can only appear in places with death aura. Unfortunately for you, my second element is Shadow Element!"

Zhao Tao sneered, "Shadow Escape allows me to freely move through the shadows created by death aura. The domain you've built can also be used by me.

"Cheng Xiao, you are strong, but it stops here!"

The expression of panic that Zhao Tao had envisioned did not appear on Cheng Xiao's face.

Cheng Xiao remained calm, as if he had already expected his appearance.

Just as Zhao Tao was puzzled, he noticed Cheng Xiao's deep, dark eyes, which flickered with a silver glow.

In the misty death aura, a voice echoed with a hint of a smile:

"Dominator's Hand…"
