Chapter 890: Abandon one’s benefactor upon reaching one’s goal!

This is also possible?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Isn’t this the standard method to kite around a BOSS in a game?! With no capability to win, one can only resort to such methods to eliminate a BOSS. Who hadn’t played such a game during their childhood? It was just that they never thought that such a method could be used to deal with the mirror image. That’s not a random mob but a world esper!
Everyone was a bit confused.
After all, their enemy was either human or beast usually.
And high-level beasts, some were even smarter than humans. How could there be any silly one like this? So each method they considered was the usual means. However, for Su Hao, he didn’t know much about the higher-level combat, but regarding the mirror image, he knew very well.
The mirror image world was his masterpiece to begin with, and since he knew the weakness of the low-level mirror image, he naturally could get the rhythm to defeat the mirror image easily!
Thus, a battle that should have been difficult became extremely easy under Su Hao’s command.
“Here, over here.”
“What’s your name again? You drew aggro! Quickly run now!”
“Quick, quick! Increase my speed!”
Everyone yelled to remind each other.
This powerful mirror image, under this kind of inhuman abuse, was beaten left and right. His injuries became heavier by the second, and one could even see the dullness from his actions. The crowd knew this mirror image was dying!
King of Fire and the others suddenly became alert.
Although they relied on Wu Ming to defeat the mirror image, that didn’t resolve the bad blood between them, and through this battle, they could see a little clearer that Chen Ge’s actual combat strength is very weak. Even when some strength of his was restored, he is still weak!
This was the first time they understood the legendary Magistrate Chen Ge.
This demon, which is famous throughout the Federation, actually has poor combat strength. As he said earlier, he was only good at calculations and deductions.
“So you have been hiding behind the scenes?”
King of Fire and the others entered into deep thought.
Being able to survive until now, which one of them here are easy to deal with? Now that this enmity has to be settled, they can’t wait for Wu Ming and Chen Ge to leave here and retaliate. Chen Ge is terrifying, and Wu Ming sent chills down their spine. If these two men were to hide and seek revenge later…
Just a thought of it made them shiver.
That would be a total nightmare!
They must be killed here! Seeing that the mirror image was about to fall, King of Fire and the other world espers subconsciously looked at each other. This kind of thing is too common in the world realm. With just a glance, they already understood each other’s meaning. The moment when the mirror image fell, it would be the time they make their move!
With that made up in their mind…
King of Fire subconsciously looked at Wu Ming. With his shrewdness, he should be vigilant right? However, it didn’t matter. At that time, it would be a head-on collision of strength. They had the confidence to kill both Chen Ge and Wu Ming with an absolute advantage! However, beyond his expectations…
Wu Ming didn’t make a single move.
“Careful, careful! Hurry up, don’t let it catch up!” Su Hao yelled.
“He didn’t make a move?” King of Fire frowned and immediately felt relieved, “He’s still too young. No matter how smart he is, he doesn’t have much experience with life. How could he have guessed it?”
“Hehe. Little brat, I will give you a lesson today to let you know the cruelty of this world.” King of Fire’s mouth revealed a sardonic smile. After each attack, he would also slightly save some force, waiting for the last moment of eruption.
A moment later.
Boom!
Boom!
With the final attack, that mirror image finally collapsed!
Endless Rule Force dispersed and fused into everyone. Because of the Rule Force’s difference, it didn’t enhance their power; instead, they consolidated their original Rule Force in their body. Everyone in Taihu Territory eventually managed to erase any instability and have a solid foundation.
“I feel that my strength has stabilized.”
“There is no longer an uneasy floating feeling. This is too great!”
“Haha, I can continue making progress again.”
“Seems that this time, all the world espers were able to stabilize their power.”
Everyone was shocked by this. Apparently, they didn’t expect to receive any benefit after killing the mirror image, which was why they were excited. Unexpectedly, at this moment, King of Fire and the other world espers made their move, surrounding both Su Hao and Chen Ge, breaking the festive atmosphere.
Boom!
Light rays covered the entire area.
“What are you all doing?!”
“Master!”
A few world espers were shocked. Even King of Fire’s disciple couldn’t believe what he saw. They had just killed the enemy by teaming up, yet they already wanted to kill someone?
“Go back.” King of Fire coldly said, “Even if we don’t make a move, they won’t let us off either. You all are too young. Please don’t be too naive.”
“Master.” King of Fire’s disciple smiled bitterly, “They did save us.”
“Save? Not really, it’s just a combination of interests under a crisis. Without us, they would have died here too.” King of Fire sneered, “There are not many right or wrong in this world. Do remember this. This world is crueler than you think.”
“Quickly go back now!” King of Fire shouted for the last time, and everyone swallowed their saliva, retreating one after another.
After all, they were juniors. In front of a level two world esper like King of Fire, their words obviously carried no weight. Soon, the scene now reverted back to the time before the mirror image appeared.
Su Hao smiled casually, “Hey Little Fire, aren’t you being too anxious?”
Little Fire… Little Fire… Fire…
King of Fire’s forehead was exposed with thick blue veins. After living up to now, Wu Ming was the first and only junior who dared to call him like this.
“You’re courting death.” King of Fire stared at Su Hao coldly, “Do you think that you can escape this time?”
“Oh?” Su Hao looked at him with an interesting expression, “Why are you so confident?”
“Hmmphh.” King of Fire’s eyes looked dense, “The mirror image has been destroyed. As soon as we reach the reef, we will leave here. Unfortunately, you will stay here forever. I have seen through your strength earlier. You two are so weak that it’s pitiful.”
“King of Hell, I will give you, master and disciple, one last chance.” King of Fire looked at Yan Tianyu, “Life or death!”
Yan Tianyu looked at his disciple. Wan Cheng firmly shook his head, and Yan Tianyu already knew the answer. His face was as calm as ever, “Then we will fight it out then!”
Boom!
Powerful auras erupted.
Those level one world espers were so scared by this that they had to retreat. Not everyone was like Wan Cheng. Although they didn’t wish to harm Su Hao, at this juncture of life and death, they would still end up choosing the option that will benefit themselves.
Taihu Territory once again experienced a series of waves as the violent aura kept condensing.
The killing intent coming from King of Fire and the other world espers were getting stronger as each second passed. Although they looked out of control, everyone was definitely using their full strength. This time, they will definitely not give Wu Ming and Chen Ge any chance to leave! Compared to Wan Cheng’s master, they were even more afraid of Chen Ge and Wu Ming.
Once these two hide behind the scenes…
This was their only chance!
“Kill!” King of Fire commanded, and the final attack was about to start. At this time, they noticed Wu Ming’s expression was as calm as usual. In fact, that nasty smile at the corner of his mouth could be seen as if everything was under his control.
This feeling…
King of Fire’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
“Little brat, you’re still as ignorant as ever.” Su Hao’s face revealed a mocking expression.
“En?” King of Fire’s pupils suddenly contracted. Facing Su Hao’s provocation, it was such a rare thing that he didn’t get mad but was subconsciously fearful instead.
“No need to be that rushed in your scheme.” Su Hao gently pressed his hand, “Even if you kill us both, that doesn’t mean you are able to leave here alive.”
“What?”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. They were at the center of the lake and would soon leave this place. What was Wu Ming saying at this time?
Without knowing why, everyone’s heart skipped a beat.
King of Fire looked at Su Hao’s leisure expression and suddenly thought of something. When he looked around, he realized that without him knowing, the mist around had already enveloped them.
“Not good.” King of Fire seemed to have thought of something and suddenly rushed to the other side of the warship. He controlled the ship to rush toward the direction of his impression. However, after dozens of miles away, he still found nothing. The reef in the distance had vanished…
“Where’s the reef?! The reef!” King of Fire yelled out loud.
As for the rest, they finally realized what had happened. Looking at the surrounding in horror, they realized the reef had disappeared! How could they be trapped here? What had happened? Weren’t they moving around the reef while fighting against the mirror image?
“Impossible!”
“The teleportation point has always existed since the start of Taihu Territory. It’s impossible for it to disappear!”
“Are we going in the wrong direction?”
“Let’s go further and see.”
Everyone began to guess.
King of Fire immediately controlled the warship to move, but no matter which way they went, they would not encounter that familiar reef. It was as if the reef had completely evaporated! This situation, which no one had ever encountered before, made them panic.
Taihu Territory, any change here was enough to wipe out everyone.
As for the unknown…
Those factors were even scarier.
“What happened here?”
“We can’t exit…”
“Are we going to die here?”
“Could it be that we have to wait until the next opening?”
The crowd was horrified. Taihu Territory only opened once every three years. Once the opening period was over, both the entrance and exit would close. If they could not leave on time, they would be trapped here for three years in this dangerous place! Just the thought of it nearly made their legs weak.
“You know what is happening here?” King of Fire fiercely looked at Su Hao.
“Wu Ming, you must have known something.”
The rest of them were staring at him because in their eyes, Wu Ming always had that winning smile on, even right now.
“I know.” Su Hao smiled as usual with a hint of coldness.
