Chapter 1199 -492: One-Handed Slaying_2

After that, Lin Kaiyang laid low as well; he was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for a guaranteed kill.

After all, Cheng Yiyi was not foolish—she had already been on alert before, and if he failed again, his chances of having another opportunity were slim.

The appearance of the rift made him think an opportunity might have arrived, but he could only be certain after heading there.

But, once he actually arrived inside the rift, he felt the chances were slim because it was too dangerous. If he tried to frame Cheng Yiyi, he might just end up dooming himself as well. His primary goal was to become the Army Commander, not to die alongside Cheng Yiyi…

However, to his surprise, Cheng Yiyi called Wang Tao, and Wang Tao had already reached Level 5!

Cheng Yiyi and Wang Tao had a good relationship; this was a well-known fact within the Sixth Legion! Hence, he might never get another chance.

But he couldn’t let it go; he had waited for so long, and he was not willing to remain just a Deputy Legion Commander.

So, he began looking for an opportunity to make a move.

Fortunately, he really did find an opportunity—somebody told him that there was a banyan tree forest inside the rift, housing a Level 5 Monster Lord! If he concealed the existence of the Level 5 Monster from Cheng Yiyi and Pei Hai, there was a high chance of leading them to their deaths, especially since he had sabotaged their powered armors before they set out.

The person who told him this news was the leader of a small faction. Besides the Six Major Legions, people from other factions also joined this rift exploration. This small faction’s leader accidentally trespassed into the banyan tree forest, nearly resulting in their complete annihilation, leaving only their leader alive.

The leader relayed this information to Lin Kaiyang, thinking could he possibly exchange it for something to minimize his losses.

Lin Kaiyang naturally agreed, but he also mentioned that he did not have control over the Sixth Legion, advising the leader to relay the information to Pei Hai but omit the details about the Level 5 Lord.

The leader was reluctant because it obviously seemed like a setup, but Lin Kaiyang offered too much in return.

Regrettably, the leader never got a chance to benefit from it—after delivering the somewhat true, somewhat false news to Pei Hai, Lin Kaiyang promptly had his trusted subordinates take care of him.

At this point, aside from his two trusted subordinates, no one else knew of his subsequent plans.

Afterward, everything went smoothly; he successfully lured Cheng Yiyi and the others to the banyan tree forest and killed Pei Hai, taking Cheng Yiyi captive.

Unexpectedly, Wang Tao arrived, and so swiftly at that!

In the face of absolute power, his schemes were once again foiled by Wang Tao. This time, he couldn’t escape either.

Speaking of which, Lin Kaiyang felt quite aggrieved when confessing—he had longed to be the Army Commander since he joined the Sixth Legion. Over the course of his journey, he had stayed undercover for so long, acting only twice, and Wang Tao thwarted him on both occasions…

Thus, Wang Tao’s expression was a bit peculiar; he had unwittingly thwarted two conspiracies…

Yet, Wang Tao felt somewhat disappointed that all this was really nothing more than Lin Kaiyang’s own ambitions acting up. He had almost thought Lin Kaiyang had encountered some bewitching monster.

Compared to Wang Tao, Cheng Yiyi was both angry and distressed.

Lin Kaiyang had become an Awakener not just due to luck, but also with the support of the Sixth Legion and Cheng Yiyi. Without the Legion and her, Lin Kaiyang was nothing! Yet, Lin Kaiyang turned around and backstabbed them…

She herself could handle being wounded, but Pei Hai had died, and many soldiers had died too… These were irrevocable losses!

If it weren’t for needing to bring Lin Kaiyang back for trial, Cheng Yiyi wanted to kill him right now.

“Are you okay?”

Wang Tao looked at the pale-faced Cheng Yiyi.

“I’m fine.” Cheng Yiyi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and upon reopening them, her complexion had returned to normal, “When do we go back?”

“We’ll leave shortly; I just need to take care of that Fifth Order Mutated Banyan Tree,” Wang Tao responded.

Upon hearing Wang Tao mention slaying the Level 5 Lord, Cheng Yiyi clenched her teeth and said,

“Can I come with you?”

In a way, the mutated banyan tree was an accomplice to Lin Kaiyang. Cheng Yiyi wanted to witness its demise with her own eyes.

“Sure,” Wang Tao nodded. With his strength, handling an ordinary Level 5 Lord while having an observer around was no issue at all.

After instructing others to keep a close watch on Lin Kaiyang and the two others, she and Wang Tao set out together.

The mutated banyan tree was some distance from the tree hollow, but Wang Tao navigated the area as if it were his own home. He summoned Lightning to enlarge, then helped Cheng Yiyi climb up.

Lightning’s current size was akin to that of an elephant, which Cheng Yiyi had never ridden before, making her feel quite intrigued. Especially sitting in front of Wang Tao, her movements with Lightning’s motion soon had her falling into Wang Tao’s arms, breathing in the scent of the man behind her, causing her cheeks to slightly redden.

“Thanks, you saved me again. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know how I would have died…”

Cheng Yiyi whispered softly.

“Don’t mention it; we’re good friends. If it’s within my capacity, I’ll definitely help.”

Wang Tao waved his hand.

“Friends huh…”

Cheng Yiyi muttered, then said no more.

Soon, Lightning carried the two of them close to the mutated banyan tree again.

[HP: 400000/400000]

[Mana: 200000/200000]

[Level: Level 5, Lord]

[Ability: Savage Growth]

[Savage Growth: Rapid growth in a short period of time]

Previously, the mutated banyan had three hundred thousand HP, now it had fully regenerated. Obviously, it should have a blood regeneration ability, most likely through nutrient absorption.

However, for Wang Tao, it wasn’t a big problem, ten thousand more or less, just a few more hits.

“Then stay here with Lightning, I’ll go kill it.”

Wang Tao’s tone was very casual, as if hunting a Level 5 Lord was an ordinary matter.

At this moment, Cheng Yiyi suddenly said,

“Can I follow you–” but after she spoke, she felt it was inappropriate; this wasn’t child’s play, it was life-threatening, so she quickly shook her head “cough, forget what I said.”

Wang Tao raised an eyebrow.

He had brought Cheng Yiyi here, and she still thought the spectator distance was too far? But then again, the mist was thick here, and if you were just a bit further away, you couldn’t see anything.

So, Wang Tao reached out, and Cheng Yiyi, caught off guard, was suddenly held in his arms with one hand.

Wang Tao was tall and burly, holding Cheng Yiyi in one arm as if she were a child.

“…”

Cheng Yiyi widened her eyes, somewhat embarrassed, but more shocked. Wang Tao wasn’t going to hold her and fight with one hand, was he?

Before Cheng Yiyi could speak, a five-meter-long spear appeared in Wang Tao’s right hand. Cheng Yiyi’s vision blurred, and suddenly they were in front of the mutated banyan tree.

Whoosh—

The mutated banyan tree, clearly realizing the uninvited guests, immediately swung its branches towards Wang Tao.

Wang Tao easily dodged the attack, and then thrust his spear forward.

Thwack!

[Curse: Slaying]

“Eh?”

Wang Tao was a bit surprised; his luck was so good this time, the first strike had triggered Slaying. For the next three minutes, the banyan’s eighty thousand HP was essentially gone! Add to that the more than twenty thousand damage from Wang Tao’s original attack… It was as if one spear did a hundred thousand damage!

Whoosh—

The branches of the mutated banyan tree rapidly began to grow wildly, looking intimidating as they seemed to cover the sky, but Wang Tao remained unphased.

Cheng Yiyi had told Wang Tao about the ability of this mutated banyan tree before they came; it was purely a physical attack monster, straightforward with no tricky abilities. At this level, the type of enemy Wang Tao was least afraid of was this.

So he didn’t even use [Scorching Eyes], just brute forced it.

In Cheng Yiyi’s dazzled sight, Wang Tao thrust the final spear.

Boom—

The mutated banyan tree’s HP depleted to zero, and it fell to the ground with a crash.
