The Chronolegionair Troops were unyielding, a reflection of Su Chen's explicit instructions to refrain from a direct withdrawal upon completing their mission.
Su Chen had grown increasingly discontented with the Ghost Clan for some time now, especially those human traitors. They were the ones he despised the most, individuals he couldn't forgive once discovered.
This location served as a temporary stronghold for the Ghost Clan, as they prepared to invade Rainless City, which had thwarted their attacks on multiple occasions. To achieve this, the Ghost Clan had amassed no less than ten eighth-order Ghost Clan members, led by a ninth-order Ghost Clan, an incredibly formidable force.
Such a formidable lineup would be sufficient to assail even a powerful human city.
Many Ghost Clan members believed it was extravagant to employ such a formation to confront Rainless City.
To make matters worse for the Ghost Clan, they had sought out the human traitors, members of the Guardian Alliance, to act as insiders and create chaos during the battle.
With this plan in motion, Rainless City was destined to fall!
Little did they know that the humans would go to such lengths as to dispatch formidable individuals to assassinate the human traitors directly responsible for aiding the Ghost Clan. Just how deep was their hatred for traitors?
Of course, this made no difference to the Ghost Clan. Once the humans were defeated, they would show no mercy to the human traitors either.
While traitors' deaths were inconsequential, the actions of the humans were akin to a slap in the face to the proud Ghost Clan. How could they endure such humiliation?
Before long, over a dozen figures surrounded the four Chronolegionair Troops. The four remained expressionless, paying no heed to the formidable Ghost Clan members.
Although the four Chronolegionair Troops were all at the pinnacle of eighth-order strength, they were a rare breed even among the ranks of the Red Alert, ranking just below the Super Soldiers.
"Who sent you here? Speak, and I may grant you a swift death," the Ghost Clan bared their fangs, their words dripping with menace.
"Our Commander had a message for me to deliver..." the Chronolegionair Legion Soldier said coolly, his gaze fixed on the leader of the ninth-order Ghost Clan. His words drove the Ghost Clan to a boiling point. "I'm not singling you out; I mean everyone here—you're all trash!"
The Ghost Clan's powerful members erupted in anger. Since becoming Ghost Kings, when had they ever been ridiculed ? They couldn't allow these humans to leave alive!
"I'll feast on your flesh and drink your blood, making sure you die a gruesome death!" roared an eighth-order Ghost Clan, charging forward in an instant.
There was only one eighth-order powerhouse among the assembled Ghost Clan members, and their combined forceful attack made even the ninth-order Ghost Clan hesitate to confront them head-on.
When the number of eighth-order powerhouses reached a certain threshold, they posed a threat even to ninth-order powerhouses.
In an instant, the top of a building collapsed. However, what surprised the Ghost Clan members was that the four humans had vanished.
Not a single one of them had hit the humans, so it was impossible that they had been obliterated so effortlessly.
As they prepared to search for the four humans, a silent bullet flew towards the head of one of the eighth-order Ghost Clan members, instantly shattering his skull and causing him to die a gruesome death.
Even with their formidable constitution, the Ghost Clan members were nothing but a joke when faced with human weaponry.
While a typical Sniper Rifle might not have achieved this feat, the Sniper's own rifle could easily eliminate opponents of the same level. Dealing with an eighth-order Ghost Clan member was a piece of cake.
Hyperspace Sniper's shot was just the beginning.
In the next moment, the ninth-order Ghost Clan suddenly felt a sense of imminent danger. He urgently shouted, "Scatter!"
But it was too late. The fake C4 explosives placed on the ground by the Space-Time Assault Team had already detonated, instantly killing three eighth-order Ghost Clan members, leaving the rest with varying degrees of injuries.
The ninth-order Ghost Clan was the fastest to react, and he had barely suffered any injuries. However, his expression was grim. In the blink of an eye, so many of his subordinates had died or been injured. How were they supposed to attack Rainless City now?
"Damn scoundrels, show yourselves!" The ninth-order Ghost Clan seethed with anger, entering Burst cultivation, unleashing an astonishing surge of power.
After Burst cultivation, this ninth-order Ghost Clan's strength immediately rose to around the mid-ninth order. His gaze was terrifying, emitting an eerie glow, and wherever his gaze landed, explosive disturbances erupted.
Killing with a mere glance!
To flush out the four humans, he no longer cared about the consequences. As long as he could kill the four humans, the deaths of a few Ghost Clan members were inconsequential; in his eyes, lower-ranking Ghost Clan members were no more than weeds.
However, the ninth-order Ghost Clan failed to notice the change in the expressions of the four eighth-order Ghost Clan members, who appeared dazed, as if they had lost their souls.
The Psychic Commando acted swiftly, instantly gaining control over the four eighth-order Ghost Clan members. However, given his capabilities, he couldn't maintain control for an extended period, only briefly.
Under the control of the Psychic Commando, the four eighth-order Ghost Clan members launched an assault on their fellow eighth-order Ghost Clan members nearby. No one could have anticipated that their own comrades would attack them at this moment, and with deadly force!
The hearts of the four eighth-order Ghost Clan members were instantly pierced. Even without their hearts, their formidable eighth-order Ghost Clan constitution allowed them to survive for a while. Filled with anger, they retaliated with punches to the hearts of the four Ghost Clan members who had attacked them, piercing through in turn.
The four ambushed Ghost Clan members wore stunned expressions. They hadn't expected the four Ghost Clan members to not evade their attacks. Initially, they had little hope.
Unbeknownst to them, the individuals controlling the four Ghost Clan members were not their own.
While the ninth-order Ghost Clan had yet to react, all the eighth-order Ghost Clan members were wiped out!
He watched this scene with wide eyes, unable to believe what was happening. What was going on?
With a start, the ninth-order Ghost Clan sensed that something was amiss and prepared to withdraw. The deaths of the eighth-order Ghost Clan members had been too suspicious, and he felt unsafe here.
"If you've come, why leave?" a mocking voice reached his ears. In the next instant, he found himself unable to move.
Chronolegionair Legion Soldier had appeared behind him, and beams of light from his Weapons hit the ninth-order Ghost Clan's body. This was the Weapons of the Chronolegionair Legion Soldier, capable of nullifying any formidable Weapons. With the current strength of the Chronolegionair Legion Soldier, he could obliterate anyone who wasn't a Small Galaxy-level powerhouse!
The ninth-order Ghost Clan's body gradually became ethereal until it disappeared completely, and not a single Ghost Clan dared to approach.
Even the Ghost King had perished; for them, approaching was like sending themselves to their deaths.
The Ghost Clan wasn't foolish; they wouldn't willingly engage in suicidal actions.
Glancing around, Chronolegionair Legion Soldier waved his hand. "Mission accomplished, let's regroup."
In the next instant, the four Chronolegionair Troops vanished from the scene. The events here quickly reached the ears of the high-ranking members of the Ghost Clan.
A table shattered into pieces with a loud crash, and a Ghost Master at the peak of the ninth level seethed with anger. "Humans have become too audacious. When we find a new Ghost Emperor, we must absolutely not let the humans go unpunished!" (To be continued...)
