Chapter 1 Night Raid

The tranquil night was torn apart by a shrill scream!

Most of the people in the valley camp were asleep, and they were awakened one after another. They didn't have time to put on their armor, so they grabbed their weapons and rushed out of their tents.

What came into view was a countless number of men in black, scaling the valley camp from all directions.

These men in black were all agile and turned out to be all different-blooded warriors. They were wielding their weapons and slaughtering the panicked camp guards, almost as if they were cutting grass!

Occasionally, the different-blooded warriors in the camp would react and put up a stubborn resistance, but in the next moment, several men in black would swarm up and dismember them!

A deadly killing intent descended under the cover of night!

"Enemy attack!"

"Who are you?!"

"Stop them... ah!"

Screams rang out one after another, and the smell of blood began to permeate the air.

Tents were set on fire, and the flames illuminated the bloody battlefield.

Marco, the acting commander of the camp, shouted and gathered a small team of different-blooded guards to resist the men in black, but they could only struggle to hold on under the enemy's frenzied attacks.

The other different-blooded guards in the camp were separated and had no time to take care of others. They could only fight on their own, facing precarious situations, and were unable to stop the men in black from slaughtering ordinary guards.

Before long, the men in black cut through the camp with their swords, finally reaching the tent in the center of the camp where Bill lived. Immediately, two of them rushed in...

Marco, who was caught in a bitter fight, saw this scene and his eyes widened in anger. He roared, "Quick, protect Master Bill!"

Although the instructions he received were to keep an eye on Bill, and even kill him if necessary, as long as Bill didn't run away, he was an important person who needed protection.

If he failed to protect Bill and let him be killed by the enemy, it would be his dereliction of duty.

However, at the next moment, a sudden gust of wind sounded sharply.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A gust of wind suddenly rose out of nowhere in Bill's tent. The entire tent bulged violently and exploded with a bang!

The two men in black who had just rushed in flew out even faster and crashed heavily to the ground. Their bodies were covered in knife-like cuts, and blood flowed like a river.

The battlefield suddenly fell silent.

The surrounding men in black paused and looked over, their eyes filled with confusion.

The tent was in pieces, and only Bill's lonely figure stood in place, surrounded by flying dust, as if shrouded in a whirlwind.

His face was expressionless, and suddenly, as if supported by an invisible hand, he slowly rose into the air, hovering more than a meter above the ground in the horrified eyes of everyone.

In the next moment, he waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept out of thin air, blowing the two seriously injured men in black into rolling gourds.

Puchi! Puchi!

The clothes of the two men in black exploded, as if they had been subjected to slow slicing. Large patches of cuts appeared on their bodies, and they were on their last breath.

"What kind of ability is this?!"

"You can actually fly!"

"This doesn't look like the ability of a different-blooded warrior!"

The surrounding enemies and allies alike cried out in surprise.

The existence of witchcraft was still a secret, and no one present knew about it, making it difficult to understand the scene before them.

The most shocked were the garrison troops in the camp. They had been with Bill for several years and always thought that Bill was an ordinary person. Only today did they realize that Bill possessed extraordinary power!

A man in black leader, who seemed to be the leader of the team, was stunned for a moment, but in the next second, he came back to his senses, his face showing a fierce look.

"No matter what your situation is, you must die today! Kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several men in black around him woke up as if from a dream and fearlessly surrounded and attacked Bill.

One person jumped up with a knife, slashing at the suspended Bill.

Bill nimbly moved to the side in the air, dodging the attack, and in turn, stirred up a gale, directly blowing the person away and knocking over another person who was attacking.

Several more men in black surrounded him, trying to besiege him. Bill was agitated by the wind all over his body, and while using his Gale Witchcraft to resist, he gradually flew to a height of five meters.

Having gained air supremacy, the men in black were unable to entangle and besiege him at all. They could only jump and attack time after time, barely posing a threat, and each time their attack missed, they would be countered by wind blades.

After fighting for a while, several men in black were injured.

Bill only had his hairstyle messed up, and his body wasn't even scratched. The whole person hovered in mid-air, like a feather, light and agile.

However, he could only protect himself for the time being. There were dozens of fights on the battlefield, and he couldn't take care of everything with his own strength. Moreover, more men in black were freeing up their hands and surrounding him to deal with him.

There were too many men in black, as many as one hundred and sixty or seventy, including dozens of secondary enhancements, and even four tertiary enhancements, killing the camp until blood flowed like a river.

After a short period of fighting, less than half of the camp garrison remained. The men in black took advantage of the night attack, and at this time, less than ten of them had been lost.

The black-clothed leader, with a tertiary enhancement level, led his men to hunt down the camp's different-blooded warriors like cutting melons and vegetables, stabbing one camp warrior after another to death.

He killed another group of resistant guards, raised his blood-stained long sword, looked up at Bill, and said with a sneer:

"Master Bill, you really gave us a surprise. I didn't expect that you've been hiding for several years and have gained such skills."

Bill looked down at him and asked without emotion, "Who are you? Who sent you here?"

The black-clothed leader pointed his sword directly at Bill and said coldly:

"Hmph, the Tarn royal family will never forgive traitors. We are the royal demon hunters, and we are ordered by the princess to kill the traitorous officials Roman and Bill! You have been hiding for so many years, but in the end, we still found your traces. Today is your death date!"

Bill nodded and said calmly, "I understand, but your timing is bad. Roman left during the day. At most, you can only kill me today, which is a pity."

The black-clothed leader: "..."

What's wrong with this person? He's not afraid at all. Is he so ready to die?!

He was a little confused.

On the other hand, the others in the camp reacted more normally, their faces changed wildly, and they were extremely frightened and desperate.

The Royal Demon Hunter Army, a special force directly under the Empire, has carried out a large number of dangerous missions such as assassinations, reconnaissance, and invasions behind enemy lines in recent years. It can be said that its reputation is well-known and almost everyone knows it.

This special force was established a few years ago and was a new establishment separated from the Imperial Hunters.

Unlike the Imperial Hunters who refused to participate in the war, the Royal Demon Hunter Army mainly carried out military missions, with an independent command system. Jason, the current commander of the Imperial Hunters and the chief hunter of the Empire, has no command over it.

The previous chief hunter, Claybo, was the first commander of the Royal Demon Hunter Army. Later, he resigned and Eileen, the captain of the Royal Guard, became the second commander of the Royal Demon Hunter Army.

However, Eileen only held a concurrent post in name and rarely interfered with specific decisions. Rumors had long spread that the commander who truly designated the action targets and issued orders to the Royal Demon Hunter Army was actually Princess Shuni.

Since the Empire's first defeat in the crusade against the tribes a few years ago, King Becky has been overworked and bedridden for many years, making it difficult for him to participate in state affairs decisions.

At this critical juncture, Princess Shuni came out of nowhere. With the support of her aunt Eileen, she persuaded King Becky to allow her to participate in the Imperial Council, discuss state affairs on his behalf, and act as a mouthpiece.

Subsequently, Princess Shuni used Eileen's connections to make herself a military advisor and permanent secretary of the Royal Demon Hunter Army, planning a large number of actions, making the Royal Demon Hunter Army a sharp knife, and killing its way to its current prestige, making the various tribes fearful.

Today, Princess Shuni is an important figure in the Tarn royal family, holding great power. Although young, her position is quite stable with the unreserved support of the royal guardian, Eileen.

At this time, the black-clothed leader calmed down and stopped thinking about Bill's inexplicable calmness, and said in a deep voice:

"The princess has ordered that our top priority is to kill Bill! As long as we bring back your head, even if we don't have Roman, it's okay!"

Bill said in a calm tone: "Sounds like a personal grudge."

"I don't care about that!"

The black-clothed leader had a stern expression, reached into his arms, seemingly wanting to take something.

But at this moment, an unexpected change occurred.

The raging fire in the valley camp suddenly turned into fire snakes rising into the sky, heading straight out of the valley, as if they were being sucked away.

This strange scene attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone's eyes followed the flames, and the movements of the fighting subconsciously stopped.

In the next second, these flames suddenly returned and turned into large fireballs, which, under the shocked gaze of everyone, shot rapidly into the men in black from the entrance of the valley.

Rumble rumble

A series of explosions occurred on the battlefield, and flames splattered everywhere!

One by one, the men in black were covered by the explosion of fireballs, and the scene was full of figures being blown away.

Some people were killed on the spot, torn apart, and some people caught fire, screaming and running around like fireballs.

In just an instant, twenty or thirty men in black were killed on the spot, suffering heavy losses!

"What's going on?!"

The black-clothed leader was terrified and stared at the entrance of the valley.

A group of people slowly walked into the battlefield. The first one was Roman with a cold face, with a violently burning fireball floating above his head.

He had actually turned back with the people who had left together during the day without anyone noticing!

Roman looked at the shocked crowd and said with anger:

"If I hadn't noticed something was wrong on the way and rushed back in time, my territory would have been bloodbathed by you... The royal family actually sent so many different-blooded warriors to attack me. It seems that their killing intent towards me is very firm. I want to see if the royal family will regret it if I bury all of you here?"

With that, he raised his hand, and the fireball above his head shot out dense fire bullets, pouring down towards the men in black.

Gu Sui

Many men in black hurriedly dodged, but many people were still unable to avoid it and were hit by the fire bullets, instantly igniting and rolling on the ground screaming.

Even different-blooded warriors could not resist Roman's flames.

"What kind of ability is this, it's too strong! Is this the effect of the third-level different-blooded potion? Or has Bill developed some new potion in the past few years?!"

The black-clothed leader was sweating profusely, not understanding the existence of witchcraft at all, and attributed all of this to Bill.

He originally thought that this operation was foolproof, but he did not expect Roman to have such terrifying power, and the situation suddenly became extremely dangerous.

The black-clothed leader gritted his teeth and shouted, "Everyone, kill Roman first, or we will all die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the men in black ignored the opponents they were fighting and rushed towards Roman in a swarm.

A fierce battle suddenly broke out!

Roman used Mind Fusion, constantly wielding rich orange-red flames, burning one enemy after another to death.

However, hundreds of men in black rushed forward one after another, quickly closing the distance, and had already become entangled with the guards around Roman, disregarding both losses and trying to break through the guard's line, the scene was quite bloody.

Even with Roman's output from the side, the guards around him could not withstand the numerical advantage of the men in black, and were killed and retreated steadily.

Seeing reinforcements, Bill also flew to the top of Roman, occasionally stirring up gales to obstruct the men in black, who had no time to take care of him at all.

However, his aptitude was limited, and the Gale Spirit only unlocked the third level at most, far less powerful than Roman.

Moreover, Bill had been launching Mind Fusion since the beginning of the night attack, and his mana was gradually running out, his wind power was greatly reduced, and he was about to lose his combat power.

The two sides fought fiercely for a while, and the black-clothed leader, covered in blood, finally broke through the guard line, and there was no longer any obstacle between him and Roman. He roared and raised his sword to stab, wanting to fight to the death.

Because elemental witches only train their spirit and perception, and will not improve their physical fitness too much, they appear fragile compared to tertiary enhanced different-blooded warriors.

But that's only if they get close.

Faced with the approaching enemy, Roman did not panic at all, glanced coldly, and a pillar of fire spewed out from his palm, directly hitting the black-clothed leader and knocking him to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind rose out of thin air beside him, supporting his body and floating in the air.

Roman had fused three natural spirits, his strongest was the Fire Spirit, and the other two were the Rock Spirit and the Gale Spirit. Like Bill, he also mastered the means of floating.

However, at this moment, the black-clothed leader who had been ignited, roared and took out a cylinder from his arms, aimed it remotely at Roman in mid-air, and activated some mechanism.

Roman's heart suddenly gave birth to a warning.

Boom boom boom!

In the next moment, dense black bone spurs shot out from the cylinder, extremely fast, like black lotus flowers suddenly blooming, covering Roman and the surrounding space!

"What is this?!"

Roman was horrified and raised his hand to stir up a gale, wanting to intercept it.

However, the black thorns penetrated the wind wall and rushed towards him unabated, about to shoot him into a hedgehog.

"Hahaha, die! Taste the royal family's special miracle armed swarm of thorns!" The black-clothed leader's eyeballs melted in the flames, unable to see the result of this attack, but he was laughing hoarsely.

Roman's pupils reflected the approaching black thorns, and finally a look of panic and fear appeared on his face.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly blocked his vision and stood in front of him.

Dudu dudu!

Countless black spikes hit, and this figure trembled all over.

The remaining black thorns flew past and finally stuck in the ground in the distance.

The figure who blocked this wave of thorn rain fell from mid-air, fell to the ground with a bang, and the pool of blood under him expanded, and he directly lost his breath.

The only other person who could float in the air was Bill.

Roman looked blankly at Bill's body on the ground, and the whole person was stunned.

There was both the dazed palpitation of passing by death, and the incredulity of Bill's actions.

Bill would actually save me at the expense of his own life?

He's not that kind of person at all!

Why did he do this?!

Roman suddenly came back to his senses, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"You deserve to die!!"

Boom!!

The flames were carried with anger and erupted, like a meteor shower of fire.

He no longer cared about anything else, and used all his mana to fuse with the flames, burning everything he saw.

…

The fire burned all night before it finally went out.

The camp was almost destroyed, with black smoke billowing everywhere, and a pungent smell filled the entire valley.

Nearly two hundred Royal Demon Hunters who came to attack were all turned into charred corpses and were completely wiped out.

And only 30% of Roman's men survived, all injured.

Bill's body had run out of blood, and the front was covered in thorns, completely unrecognizable.

Xiao Hei used his nose to arch Bill's body next to him, whimpering softly.

The sword-tailed eagle circled in the sky, making a shrill cry.

Roman stood next to him, stunned.

No one dared to disturb the subordinates around him, and they carefully cleaned up the battlefield, daring not to make too much noise.

"Why did you save me?"

Roman looked down at Bill's body and muttered to himself, repeating this sentence countless times.

Everyone was just a cooperative relationship, Bill was not his subordinate, and the relationship had become estranged in the past few years, and they rarely even talked. He even had signs of house arrest...

Roman racked his brains and couldn't understand why Bill would save him at the cost of his life.

He didn't know how to examine the relationship between the two.

When he left yesterday, he also told his confidants that if Bill had any abnormalities, he could be removed.

But at the critical moment of his life, Bill was willing to sacrifice his life to take the bullet for him.

Roman was at a loss for a while.

A sense of indescribable shame welled up in his heart.

Every bit of the past few years flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, Bill's silence, his own constant precaution...

Roman covered his eyes and said in a complicated tone:

"Bill... I didn't expect that I would have such an important position in your heart. Maybe I never understood you."

After a long time, he put down his hand, his eyes flashing with cold light:

"You learned witchcraft from me, so you are my disciple, and your revenge is mine... Tarn royal family, hum!"

…

Main world, morning.

In the superpower law class, the teacher's voice was emotionless,

Zhou Jing supported his chin, seemingly listening to the lecture, but his mind had already drifted far away, thinking about the Star Realm Transmigration.

Last night, the panel finally connected to the new Star Realm, but unfortunately, due to the limitation of the apostle slot, he could not create a new apostle to transmigrate.

Zhou Jing struggled for a while, but he still didn't rush to recycle Jason. He simply used the time last night to summarize the basic information of the "d19 plane" that he had learned from the class, and plan his action route into the new Star Realm.

He didn't want to feel around like a blind man like he did when he transmigrated to the Alien Beast World. He decided to take full advantage of his current intelligence and make multiple backup plans in advance, so that he would have a clear goal of action as soon as he transmigrated, and take fewer detours.

After staying up all night, he made a lot of progress, and now he only needs to officially transmigrate and put it into practice.

Zhou Jing had already made up his mind that he would free up an apostle slot tonight no matter what. He had to cruelly recycle Jason, even if it was a bit of a loss.

While he was thinking wildly, the panel suddenly moved.

[Detected that "Bill" (No. 003) has died]

[The "Alien Beast World" is currently in a disconnected state and is recycling the Star Realm Apostle... Recycling complete!]

[File updated!]

[Experience log has been archived, and relevant exploration results have been recorded in the illustration book]

[View Death Replay?]

Zhou Jing shivered and immediately woke up, so excited that he almost stood up on the spot.

"Bill kicked the bucket? Hahaha... Good riddance!!"
