Even in death, Guo Yi might not understand how, as the secret weapon, the person who could go up against the few deacons would die so easily. Was the gap between his opponent and him so strong?

He didn’t know that if he fought Ye Zhongming openly, he might be able to hold on for a while. But he felt like he could sneak attack him, which sent him right before Ye Zhongming.

To date, people on the same level, even those a level higher, couldn’t go up against Ye Zhongming.

The captain’s death caused an even bigger shock to the team than the sudden appearance of the mutated trees. These warriors imagined many situations, but nothing like this.

They were very strong, but they had to have a leader. Now that the leader was dead, what should they do?

“Pa pa pa!” The applause gave these evolved a direction. They retreated from their attacks and formed a fan formation around that person.

“I thought my subordinates were fools, which was why Cloud Peak could survive. Now, it seems like it has nothing to do with them; you are just too strong.”

Royal Guild chief placed his hand down. Although he was praising Ye Zhongming, his eyes were filled with hate and disgust.

There was also a deep unwillingness to admit it.

He spent a lot of effort nurturing Guo Yi. One could say that he didn’t even spend so much effort on his son.

That was the start and source of his ambition. It gave him the confidence to rule Figve Ring Money and stand at the top of the world.

But now, that person had turned into a corpse and laid near to him. His eyes protruded, and in it was deep unwillingness like the chief.

Ye Zhongming looked at this person who had some age but wasn’t old. He lowered his head and then asked, “You paid a huge price to kill me, right?”

“It is worth it.”

“Why?”

Things were at this stage, so everything else was useless. He was just curious about the reasoning.

Ye Zhongming didn’t understand why the Royal Guild chief would be so determined to kill him here.

If other factions knew about this, Bright Water Feast might stop immediately. Those faction heads wouldn’t dare to continue taking risks when there was a chance that they might get attacked.

Five Ring Money’s reputation would also suffer a hit. No one would be willing to deal with them. After all, they weren’t the only choice. Cannibal Chain was a competitor.

Once they lose the trust of other factions, Five Ring Money will lose its foundations. The organisation might collapse. They will not be among the top factions in the country and will start to weaken.

There was another possibility, which was that others would swallow them.

Under such a context, they attacked Ye Zhongming. What kind of hatred did he have?

Ye Zhongming didn’t understand, which was why he asked.

A conflict between Royal Guild and Cloud Peak? Ye Zhongming killed his son? Status in the apocalypse?

Those didn’t seem like enough of a reason. Ye Zhongming believed there might be hatred in the apocalypse, but it wouldn’t cause two factions to pay a huge price to attack each other.

Sometimes, an organisation doesn’t fully belong to a person. Even if the leader had huge power and could do things organisations couldn’t do in peacetime, they couldn’t treat their subordinates like fools. When one person decided to hurt the interests of the faction, there would be resistance.

Royal Guild’s chief didn’t reply immediately. He smiled and said, “You can call me- Chi E. Maybe you might not know now, but after you die, you can ask the gods.”

The ancient costume he was wearing started to crack to reveal a green scale armor. There wasn’t the glow of a level, but it wrapped the chief’s body.

Ye Zhongming was sensitive to notice that the scale armor was similar to the armor those warriors were wearing. It wasn’t how it looked but the aura and energy fluctuation.

His eyes constricted. He felt like the Royal Guild’s main force toward them wasn’t this old and firm chief and also not the teen that he had killed.

It was these ordinary warriors.

As expected, when the chief revealed his armor, the other warriors took off their coats to show similar metal soft armor of similar material and color.

“Team buff!”

Ye Zhongming recognized the power that the enemy had suddenly given off.

“Good eyes,” Chi E smiled sinisterly before his body gave off a dark energy. The energy wrapped the warriors around him when something shocking happened.

Many warriors disappeared. When they appeared again, they were already around Ye Zhongming. They used teleportation to surround them.

Ye Zhongming was familiar with team buffs. He had seen a team buff book on the Competition Deaeth Wheel. Ah Yang and his seven brothers were also considered a team buff.

This ability would normally be very terrifying, and there were many types with different buffs. Without understanding the situation, it was hard to deal with them.

No wonder this chief would lead a few hundred people and chase them. They dared to attack on this island because they were relying on the team buff.

If Ye Zhongming was leading a squad, be it the main squad or protector squad, he wouldn’t be afraid of them. As long as they created a chance for him, he could use his solo advantage to kill this squad. The team buff would be broken once their numbers reached a certain level.

But there were only three of them. Ye Zhongming could retreat himself, but what about Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue? They were surrounded, and it was very dangerous.

A bad feeling rose in his heart.

“Ah!”

The few hundred warriors shouted. Black gas rose from their bodies and covered them, forming a beast-like mist armor.

Ye Zhongming didn’t wait for them to enter their strongest form. He charged and waved Earth Sand Moon Blade and used Thousand Body Slash.

But a weird scene appeared again. In front of the skill light, a black hole-like mouth appeared. It opened and swallowed Ye Zhongming’s skill!
