"Hmph, a bunch of little mice, and they run pretty fast!" one of the men in black robes complained, his voice full of annoyance.
"That skeleton guy actually got killed, what a piece of trash!" the leader of the black-robed men said through gritted teeth. "I wonder which fool dared to run wild on our turf!"
"It might have been those people who came out of the castle. They can kill skeletons, so they must be quite strong. We need to be careful," another man in black robes warned.
"What's there to be afraid of! Even if they have some skills, can they possibly be stronger than us?" The leader of the black-robed men sneered. "Once we catch them, I'll show them what happens when they mess with us!"
"But speaking of which, it's strange that the skeleton just died like that," another man in black robes said, frowning. "What do you think happened to him? Did those people discover the secret of the demigods?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, and then fell into deep thought.
The secret of the demigods—that's what they've always relied on.
“If that’s the case, then we’re in trouble.” The black-robed leader’s face darkened. “If the secret of the demigod is discovered by others, it will be a huge threat to us.”
“Whether they are or not, we’ll find out by questioning them. If they really know the secret of the demigods, then we…” A man in black robes made a throat-slitting gesture, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
“That’s right, we absolutely cannot let this secret leak out.” The leader of the black-robed men had a hint of panic and cruelty in his eyes. “Stop talking nonsense, speed up the search, don’t let them get away!”
The group responded and prepared to continue their pursuit through the passage.
Wang Fan, who was hiding in the corner, heard their conversation clearly and became secretly on guard.
From their conversation, it was clear that these men were filled with murderous intent towards him and the women.
Moreover, they are extremely wary of the so-called secret of the demigods, as if they are afraid that if others discover this secret, it will break their evil rule in this area.
Wang Fan's heart stirred, realizing that he could no longer sit idly by and wait for his death.
He knew that once he was discovered by these men in black robes...
Given the opponent's strength, he and the women would all be in dire straits.
If not now, when?
Taking advantage of the gaps in the distance between the men in black robes as they dispersed.
Wang Fan spotted the black-robed man who was closest to him and was slowly walking towards him.
He quietly gathered that wisp of divine power into his legs, his muscles instantly tensing up like a cheetah poised to pounce.
Just as the man in black robes was about to approach the hiding place, Wang Fan suddenly burst forth, rushing out like a black lightning bolt.
The Bloodthirsty Halberd in his hand was imbued with the immense power that came from his recent breakthrough in physical strength.
With unstoppable momentum, it stabbed fiercely into the back of the man in black robes.
"Pfft!" With a dull sound of flesh tearing, the Bloodthirsty Halberd pierced through the black-robed man's body without any resistance.
The halberd tip pierced through his chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Ah!" The man in black robes let out a shrill scream, staggered forward a few steps, and fell heavily to the ground.
This sudden turn of events alerted the other men in black robes, who turned around with expressions of shock and anger.
"Who goes there!" the leader of the black-robed men roared.
Anger and killing intent flashed in his eerie green eyes, and a long sword emitting a strange light appeared in his hand without him even noticing.
Wang Fan struck successfully and did not pause for a moment.
He swiftly drew his Bloodthirsty Halberd, leaped backward like a ghost, and disappeared back into the shadows.
He knew that although he had seriously injured one person.
However, one must be cautious when facing this group of powerful men in black robes.
Only by making good use of the environment and surprise attack tactics can we have a chance to hold them back.
"Search! Find this kid!" the leader of the black-robed men roared, directing the others to begin a frantic search of the surrounding area.
Wang Fan hid in the shadows, filled with regret.
He was initially certain that these black-robed figures, like the Skeleton Demon Lord, had their divine essence hidden in their chests.
In the previous battle against the Skeleton Demon Lord.
He seized the opportunity, struck the opponent in the chest, successfully destroyed his divine essence, and then killed him.
So just now, he didn't hesitate to strike with all his might, aiming straight for the chest of the approaching black-robed man.
But the result was completely unexpected; although the man in black was seriously injured by him...
However, unlike the Skeleton Demon Lord, whose power dissipated after his divine status shattered.
Wang Fan then realized that there was more to the hidden meaning of the divine essence of these black-robed men.
"It seems we can't use the old methods anymore," Wang Fan thought to himself, frowning.
While pondering a solution, he carefully used the surrounding rocks and shadows.
They quietly changed positions to avoid being searched by the men in black robes.
The leader of the men in black robes crouched down and carefully examined the shocking wound on the injured man's chest, his brows furrowing deeply.
The wound was all too familiar; it was clearly intended to destroy the godhood.
He thought to himself, "This attacker knows about divinity; he must be no ordinary person. I just wonder if he is aware that everyone's divinity is not in the same place."
He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over his men who were searching, and shouted, "Be careful! The enemy knows the secret of divinity and is definitely still hiding nearby, waiting for his chance. Look out for each other and don't fall into his trap again!"
Upon hearing this, the other men in black robes echoed their agreement.
The search became more cautious, with each pair maintaining a supportive distance.
Wang Fan hid behind a boulder and heard the words of the black-robed leader clearly.
He felt a chill run down his spine. He hadn't expected the other party to guess his intentions so quickly. It seemed he would have to be even more careful with his next move.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the cave was extremely tense.
Like a fully drawn bow, ready to unleash a fatal arrow at any moment.
Wang Fan knew that he didn't have much time left.
We must find a way to get out of this predicament as soon as possible, otherwise we will be surrounded by the men in black robes.
Even though he had just broken through to demigod status and possessed a trace of divine power, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed from the siege of numerous powerful enemies.
Suddenly, Wang Fan's gaze fell on a stone wall not far away.
There were several cracks in the stone wall, as if they were hiding some kind of passage.
A thought struck him, and an adventurous plan gradually took shape in his mind.
Wang Fan took a deep breath and infused that wisp of divine power into the Bloodthirsty Battle Halberd.
The halberd instantly emitted a strange light.
He seized the opportunity and suddenly leaped out from behind the boulder, attacking the two black-robed men closest to him.
“There!” shouted a man in black robes.
Wang Fan moved with incredible speed, like a black phantom, his Bloodthirsty Halberd whistling through the air as it pierced towards one of them.
The man in black robes hastily defended himself, and with a clang, his weapon was knocked out of his hand, and a sharp pain shot through his arm.
Just as the other men in black robes gathered around...
Wang Fan, however, did not linger in the fight. After feinting, he rushed towards the stone wall with all his might.
