Chapter 1022: Chapter 1025: Assassination Operation_1 Chapter 1022: Chapter 1025: Assassination Operation_1 Upon seeing the sudden appearance of dozens of King-sealing Powerhouses, Zhou Can was shocked in his heart.

This is a plot of the Endless Species!

Using the Rock Giants as cover for the King-sealing Powerhouses, they are preparing for a surprise attack.

But Zhou Can didn’t take it too seriously because, after all, King Sealing is not the Hall of Fame.

As a member of the Hall of Fame, he had his own absolute pride.

Even though dealing with dozens of King-sealing Powerhouses would be difficult, Zhou Can was still very confident that he wouldn’t fail.

He believed that nearby members of the Hall of Fame would definitely come to provide support if they were besieged.

…

As long as he could hold on for a while, he could still win.

So when dozens of Demon Clan Kings appeared, Zhou Can still laughed heartily with his sword across: “You really have gone to great lengths to make such a big scene.

But I must say you are foolish, for choosing the wrong target for an ambush.

Do you really dare to make a move against the Hall of Fame?

I wonder how many brains you have?”

These Demon Clan Kings, however, didn’t bother to engage in a war of words with Zhou Can.

After forming their encirclement, they immediately rushed forward!

A few Hell Demon Clan at the front, brandishing steel forks and war hammers, met him head-on.

A group of Demons in the back began to launch countless ranged attacks.

Mental Shock!

Deadly Hidden Weapons!

Poison!

The successive dense attacks left no room for evasion, forming a completely inescapable trap.

Zhou Can had just shaken off a Demon Warrior with a long stick when he was bombarded head-on by a demon wielding double hammers.

The power of these demons is naturally greater than that of the Ground Clan, and these demons obviously cooperate very well, choosing to make their move when Zhou Can’s old strength had just dissipated and his new strength had not arrived yet.

Boom, boom, boom~~~!

Zhou Can’s long sword let out a mournful cry, and one of the seven swords was blasted back into Zhou Can’s body.

“Leave it to me!”

Three close-combat demons attacked at the same time, stubbornly restraining Zhou Can, and at this moment, the ranged attacks also arrived.

At this time, Zhou Can’s soul was greatly alarmed.

Firstly, he overestimated his own strength.

Most members of the Hall of Fame were promoted from King-sealing Powerhouses.

Many King-sealing Powerhouses may not be members of the Hall of Fame, but they have the strength of the Quasi-Hall of Fame.

Among these Demon Warriors, nearly half of them have the strength of the Quasi-Hall of Fame.

This is not an ordinary ambush team.

This team is clearly prepared specifically to ambush the Hall of Fame.

If Zhou Can had been one of the top ten members of the Hall of Fame, it wouldn’t matter.

But he, ranked seventy-two, could not withstand the ambush of so many opponents whose strength was not much weaker than his own.

Overestimating oneself and underestimating the enemy ends in paying a heavy price!

After blocking several attacks in succession, two fists were no match for four hands.

A Mental Shock attack first broke through his Spiritual Consciousness Sea!

A severe dizziness filled his head, his body softened, followed by a glow from his neck.

A flash of blade light swept across his neck, and Zhou Can’s head flew in the air!

Then attacks came from all directions and his body was instantly blown to pieces!

Only the Divine Stones he had collected, and his own Divine Stones, were dancing in the air, attracting a scramble among the Demon Clan Kings.

However, by this time there was no Ground Clan left around, and all the spoils of war fell into the hands of the enemy.

The prestigious member of the Hall of Fame, fell into the ambush of the Endless Species and died on the spot!

And it was not at the hands of his Hall of Fame opponents, but at the hands of some unknown people.

It is both pitiful and lamentable.

With Zhou Can’s death, a scrolling screen passed through the Dimensional Universe.

Every country, every city, everyone in any forum, could clearly see this message.

“A member of the Ground Clan’s Hall of Fame, in the eighth war-zone, ranked 272nd, Zhou Can, died in the battle of the Heavenly River, killed by Endless Species XXX.”

The news repeadtedly scrolled three times, silencing the entire universe for a few seconds.

A member of the Hall of Fame has died!

Before the war, people were constantly guessing which side would have the first member of the Hall of Fame to fall, but no one expected it to happen so quickly.

They all thought that it would probably take a while for the fighting to progress before a member of the Hall of Fame would die.

Yet, less than ten minutes into the battle, a member of the Hall of Fame had already died!

And the killer was someone unknown.

For a moment, the entire universe was in an uproar.

“Damn it!

What’s happening?

When did the Hall of Fame become so weak?”

“This is absolute rubbish, he was killed by an unknown individual.

What kind of Hall of Fame member is that?”

“If the members of the Hall of Fame are of this caliber, I think we can give up on this fight.

It’s better to surrender sooner.”

“It’s over, it’s over!

Who is the commander of this eighth battle zone?

How is he leading?”

Compared to the angry and cursing Ground Clan, the Endless Species was cheering.

“Good job!

This Demon guy is really awesome!”

“Hahaha!

At this rate, it won’t be long before our army can push through and advance unimpeded!”

“Long live the Absolute Heavenly Emperor!

Long live the Endless Species!”

“Lin Zhen, your subordinates are dead, next it will be your turn, hurry up and get out here to meet your death!”

“Lin Zhen has turned into a turtle hiding in his shell, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t come out, let’s first kill all these trash from the Eighth War Zone and see if he can still hold his ground as the Commander!”

Facing the taunts of the Endless Species, members of the Ground Clan were counterattacking desperately, but their confidence was insufficient.

They could only hope – hope the next Hall of Fame member to fall in battle would be from the Endless Species, then they could regain some of their dignity.

Such sentiment was not only held by them, but also by those fighting on the battlefield.

The death of a Hall of Fame member is a disgrace.

With only six hundred members in the Hall of Fame from both sides combined, such rolling screen announcements could appear at most six hundred times – everyone hoped that more of the dead would be from the opponent’s side.

However, in the first wave of attack, the Endless Species didn’t even lose a single member of the Hall of Fame, which made the Ground Clan’s desire for revenge impossible to achieve.

With Zhou Can’s death, the situation on the battlefield changed.

Assassination squads consisting of powerful king-sealing members from the Demon, Ghost, and Yao Clans began to appear in various corners.

Each of these squads were carefully selected by the Endless Species, each consisting of fifty King Sealing members.

They infiltrated into the crowds under the cover of their respective clans.

Whenever they saw a golden flag fluttering, these squads would subtly advance.

Within the team, there were many quasi-Hall of Fame members who could individually stand against general Hall of Fame members at the lower ranks.

When they cooperated seamlessly, those at the lower ranks essentially had no chance of counterattack.

Moreover, now that there were more members in the Hall of Fame, those ranked in the top hundred or so were actually established demigods who had not reached the Complete Realm.

They were not necessarily much stronger than the previous Hall of Fame members.

So such ambush tactics were almost guaranteed to succeed.

Following Zhou Can, the second rolling screen announcement appeared.

“Ground Clan Hall of Fame member, from the Eighth War Zone, ranked 280th, Landu, died in the Heavenly River, killed by the hand of the Endless Species’s XXX.”

“Ground Clan Hall of Fame member, from the Eighth War Zone, ranked 291st, Li Xinghe, died in the Heavenly River, killed by the hand of the Endless Species’s XXX.”

“Ground Clan Hall of Fame member, from the Fourth War Zone…..”

One by one, the messages continuously appeared, repeatedly striking at the fragile nerves of the Ground Clan members.

Less than half an hour after the start of the war, nine Hall of Fame members had been killed!

Among those five were from Lin Zhen’s Eighth War Zone.

Because Lin Zhen’s side deployed the most Hall of Fame members.

After Augustine’s instigation, ten members were deployed.

But in such a short time, tragically half had died!

This was a blow that the Ground Clan simply couldn’t accept.

If they continued fighting like this, it wouldn’t take long before the Ground Clan was wiped out.

“What the hell!

All our side are dying!

Are we worse than the Endless Species?

How did we drive the Endless Species into the depths of the Endless Star Sea back then?

Or are the current people all incompetents?”

“Just wait and see, this is not the end.

Those Hall of Fame members who are deep in the heart of the battlefield have all become kill targets for the other side.

I’m afraid they can’t come back.”

“Are we just going to sit around and let them scheme against us?

Don’t we have any countermeasures?”

“Lin Zhen…

I’m somewhat disappointed in him.”

“Rescue those Hall of Fame members!

We can’t waste these elites in a mere clash with their cannon fodder!”

On the battlefield, over at the Eighth War Zone, five Hall of Fame members were still surrounded.

From Lin Zhen’s perspective, he could clearly see several assassination squads moving towards them.

Meanwhile, some of the Endless Species soldiers around them were desperately keeping them pinned down.

If these five Hall of Fame members were further lost, Lin Zhen’s high-end combat power would be reduced by a third.

At this moment, even though the rumors were somewhat unfavourable to Lin Zhen, he wasn’t impatient.

Because someone was more anxious than him.

That someone was Augustine.

Augustine exclaimed hurriedly, “Lin Zhen, you are the War Zone Commander, you can’t just watch this situation unfold!

If these people die, then our Eighth War Zone will be in danger.”

Lin Zhen’s gaze swept over Augustine, the coldness in his eyes made Augustine feel somewhat horrified.

“You…

what do you mean?”

Lin Zhen snorted coldly, “Augustine, you insisted on them going, and then you left all the blame to me.

Now that things have gone wrong, you suddenly think of asking me to rescue them.

Do you think I am a sucker?”

“So…what do you want to do?”

Lin Zhen turned around, with his nose in the air, “I’m not going, let whoever wants to go!”

Anyway, these people had a good relationship with Augustine and didn’t respect Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen couldn’t be bothered about their life or death.

Augustine didn’t expect Lin Zhen to be so decisive, and was immediately somewhat flustered.

With these people’s support, he could confront Lin Zhen, and these people were indispensable.
