World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Chapter 1769 - 51: Plague Relics (Part 7)

Inside the Plague Relics, there are a large number of powerful monsters, something Zhang Xiaoman has long been aware of.

However, who would have thought that the monsters in this relic were so terrifying? Inside the mysterious palace in this swamp, there are so many control level beings hidden.

Normally, on a regular cultivation planet, control level dark spirits are already considered strong, respected by all, just like on Skull Star where Zhang Xiaoman was before.

But looking here, hundreds of control level monsters are like a group of soldiers, neatly formed in a lineup here. They have some mysterious connection with each other, seemingly forming a peculiar formation. Just the terrifying pressure they emit by standing here can make those with inadequate strength lose the courage to fight.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman is on edge, staring unblinkingly at the group of black-armored soldiers ahead.

The average strength of these monsters is at the middle control level, with more than thirty monsters reaching the upper control level, among which three are similar to Lan Gu, at the upper control level peak.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman knew that he probably wouldn’t have a chance today. Though he could temporarily boost various attributes with his Star Pattern Talent, making his constitution soar to the true transcendent level.

But he knows well, he’s not truly transcendent, and not mastering the Divine Domain is his biggest shortcoming. No matter how strong his constitution is, it’s useless unless he can truly overpower, but clearly, he can’t right now.

So many control level beings, their overall strength is even more formidable than the elite forces the Lan Family brought this time.

The Lan Family handpicked members from within their clan, possessing vast resources within a whole super star system, a powerful family capable of contending for the Lords’ position of the Great Elder in the Dark Star Alliance.

Yet, such a mighty lord, their elite forces gathered are less than a hundred people, the average strength only at the lower control level, unexpectedly inferior to these black-armored monsters.

"Plague Army, it seems these guys hold more secrets than imagined."

Zhang Xiaoman has already internally decided to retreat. Now that he has enhanced himself with talent ability, he may not be able to defeat these monsters, but escape is certainly possible. At worst, he has the North Star Ring, with unlimited teleportation as backup; these monsters simply cannot detain him.

Though it’s unfortunate, the Demon Clan is a very peculiar race, not a conventional life form, so Zhang Xiaoman’s Life Stripping cannot be used on them.

He thinks if these monsters weren’t from the Demon Clan, he might still be able to maneuver a bit.

But since they are from the Demon Clan, his Star Pattern Talent doesn’t work on them, and high-level demons aren’t afraid of ordinary Holy Water. Only if he could find a large quantity of purple-level Holy Water would there be hope to capture them all.

"Woo woo woo~"

Just then, the leader among the monsters, a peak control level commander, suddenly blew a horn. All black-armored monsters had a reaction simultaneously, their eyes turning red, raising their longs spears, and thrusting uniformly towards Zhang Xiaoman’s direction.

"So fast!"

Zhang Xiaoman’s pupils shrank sharply, those long spears falling like a group of stars towards him, the speed of those monsters seemed to have increased significantly with the formation and the horn’s support, even with his rapid response and speed enhancement, he could only barely dodge.

"Boom!"

A blast echoed, Zhang Xiaoman was hit by a long spear before he could dodge, the tip containing a destructive energy which infused into his Star Shining Armor.

This was a strike from the peak control level existence among the black-armored monsters, their speed also significantly enhanced under the formation and horn’s fortification, taking advantage of other monsters’ attacks for a surprise assault, extremely difficult to evade.

Normal attacks cannot penetrate the Star Shining Armor’s defense, but this monster evidently used some method to penetrate powerful spiritual power into the armor, causing an internal explosion, instantly creating a small breach in the Star Shining Armor.

Zhang Xiaoman’s expression immediately became solemn.

This made things quite tricky. Initially, he thought about using his speed advantage to shake off these monsters and rush into the palace’s interior to see what it was about, possibly even finding ways of utilizing the Divine Domain, or if luck was good enough, finding a hidden spot to set a Star Alliance Marker, allowing him to leave and return at will, making the palace his private property in the truest sense.

Yet this idea now seems hard to realize, minor monsters are still manageable, but those three leader-level black-armored monsters make him very apprehensive, though Zhang Xiaoman has confidence in his own strength, in a one vs. hundred scenario facing three peak control level demons simultaneously is indeed challenging.

Nonetheless, Zhang Xiaoman doesn’t plan to give up just yet, wanting to give it a try.

Dark Spiritual Power circulates wholly inside him, seven little swords orbit settled around, followed immediately by a golden light shining from his body as Zhang Xiaoman directly activates the Little Golden Man mode for a duration of one minute.
