ACSP: Chapter 153: Jiang Chen Emerges, Level Skyrockets!
"What happened over there? Why was there such a huge explosion?"
"It must be those despicable Great Xia people who set a trap in that place."
"Those damned Great Xia people use such underhanded tricks because they can't beat us. I despise them."
"Wait a minute, Captain Asakura seemed to have gone over there just now. He'll be okay, right?"
"Hurry over and take a look..."
"..."
Hundreds of thousands of explosive tags were detonated simultaneously, and the sound of the explosion was like a thunderclap on dry land, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the city.
The Dongdao Contractors who were originally slaughtering wantonly in the city immediately rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
However, when they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion...
...the building complex of the City Lord's Mansion had been completely razed to the ground.
The ground was covered with charred and foul-smelling severed limbs and remains.
Most of the owners of these corpses were guards of the City Lord's Mansion.
But among them were also many Contractors from East Island.
City Lord Li Hongfei's explosion just now could be described as mutual destruction, killing almost everyone inside the City Lord's Mansion.
The group of Dongdao Contractors who had rushed over began to search for survivors around the ruins.
As long as they found a Great Xia person who was still breathing, they would immediately deliver a finishing blow.
As for those East Island people who hadn't died yet, they would immediately begin emergency treatment.
The cruelty of war was thoroughly personified at this moment.
—Pa!
Just then.
Amidst a pile of ruins still emitting scorched smoke.
A massive bone tail suddenly burst out from the ground, sweeping away all the rubble and broken beams covering it.
Everyone looked over at the sound.
They discovered a mass of crisscrossing white bone spikes, curled up like a hedgehog.
From a distance.
It looked like a round egg covered in bone spikes.
—Ka ka ka!
In the next second.
Those bone spikes began to retract rapidly, finally revealing a figure covered in a white skeletal frame.
It was none other than the Deputy Captain of the East Island Vanguard, Asakura.
Asakura's contracted character was Kimimaro, who possessed the Shikotsumyaku.
Kimimaro was the last survivor of the Kaguya Clan.
And the Kaguya Clan had inextricable links with the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
In a strict sense.
The Shikotsumyaku could be considered a physique inherited from the Ōtsutsuki bloodline.
Just like the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan.
However, unlike the Byakugan which focused on Dojutsu.
Inheritors of the Shikotsumyaku focused more on their internal bodily structure.
This bloodline physique possessed extremely strong close-combat capabilities while also providing unparalleled physical defense.
Just now, when City Lord Li Hongfei detonated the City Lord's Mansion, Asakura survived by relying on this characteristic of the Shikotsumyaku.
Although he suffered some injuries.
It wasn't a big problem.
"Bakayaro, Konoyaro~"
"Damned Great Xia people, to use such despicable means to kill so many warriors of my Empire, I will definitely not let this debt go."
Asakura looked around, and seeing that more than half of the Dongdao Contractors he had brought were dead or injured, a surge of anger instantly ignited in his heart.
Previously, there were about 200 Dongdao Contractors at the City Lord's Mansion.
Now, all 200-plus people had been sacrificed.
—Hualala!
Not long after Asakura finished speaking.
A nearby puddle of liquid that was almost dried up began to gradually squirm.
Finally, it transformed into a man whose body was nearly blown apart and was dripping with water.
It was indeed Inoue Gessui.
Just now, when City Lord Li Hongfei detonated the explosive tags.
He had timely turned into liquid and flowed into the sewers, which was how he avoided disaster.
After Inoue Gessui learned that City Lord Li Hongfei was dead, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell.
But soon.
A look of intense resentment appeared on his face again.
Because Zhang Xiaolin had escaped!
"Immediately pass down the order: starting today, take over all areas in the city with full force. Then find people to lock up all the captives and those who chose to surrender. Question one batch every day, and kill one batch..."
"The Empire's warriors cannot die in vain. These people's lives will serve as a funeral sacrifice for the warriors who just fell."
Asakura flicked his bone tail, tossing away a half-charred corpse entangled in it, then glared fiercely at the crowd, his voice carrying a hint of morbid madness.
...
Two days passed in a flash.
On this day.
Jiang Chen, who had been struggling in the [Cloud Thunder Canyon] for dozens of hours, finally left the secret realm.
"There's still plenty of time before the auction starts, but there's no longer a need to continue grinding this secret realm..."
Jiang Chen glanced sideways at the entrance of the [Cloud Thunder Canyon] secret realm, a hint of emotion flashing deep in his eyes.
This secret realm, which was almost tailor-made for him, was one he wouldn't return to.
Because he had now rushed to Level 51!
Yes.
In just two short days, he had rushed directly from Level 28 to Level 51.
This sort of thing was originally impossible.
But he had achieved it.
All because clearing the Hell-level [Cloud Thunder Canyon] once only took him 2 to 3 minutes.
And every time he entered the secret realm, he could obtain over 700,000 experience points as a reward.
Even though he possessed two contracted characters, and the experience needed to level up was twice as high as others!
It still couldn't stop his leveling speed here.
In fact, if Jiang Chen had been grinding sea beasts inside the secret realm the whole time, reaching Level 51 might not have even taken two days.
The reason it took two days.
Was because after Luo Yuqing and the others were carried by him a few times, they had all reached Level 51.
Later, in order to continue entering the realm, he had to form new teams several times.
During this period, he was also called away several times by Lei Li to specifically handle guild matters.
A lot of time was wasted there.
