Fade carefully walked into the valley. There was some firelight flickering up ahead.

The fire had been surrounded by random objects, as though trying to cover up the trace of light.

He was less than 200 meters away from it, but he had not been noticed yet.

Once he got closer, he stopped moving. He bent down and observed everything.

Right then, there were a few people sitting around the fire. They were keeping warm while chatting with each other.

However, because they deliberately lowered their voices, it was hard to hear what they were talking about.

Not far behind them, there was a black figure tied to a big tree. From time to time, it could be seen struggling. From the looks of it, it should be a person. Presumably, this person was the investigator who was taken away by Daryl.

After waiting for another 15 minutes, a person next to the fire suddenly got up and walked towards the woods behind him.

He unbuckled his pants as he walked. It was likely that he was going to relieve himself.

Seeing this, Fade's eyes brightened. He felt that an opportunity had arrived. He quietly shuttled forward and approached the other party, preparing to attack.

However, just as he was about to take action, the man suddenly turned around. He blasted out a wave of energy from his hands. With a swoosh, the energy sliced through the air and shot towards Fade. "I've been discovered? How could this be?" Fade was shocked and hurriedly dodged the incoming attack.

He barely had any time to think before the people sitting around the fire also quickly got up and rushed towards him.

For a moment, the surroundings were filled with positive energy. Sparks flew everywhere, igniting the initially quiet valley.

As Fade dodged the opponent's attack, he also threw out a counterattack.

Bang, Bang!

Several streams of energy shot out and hit two people, causing them to scream and fall to the ground.

However, the remaining men did not stop to care. They continued to attack Fade relentlessly.

Judging from the situation, Fade knew that they had long sensed his presence. The man who stood up earlier to relieve himself was merely acting as bait. The entire thing was a trap.

"But how did they know I'd be in Yandover City? How did they know I'd be here investigating?"

For a moment, a lot of questions arose in Fade's mind.

However, the battle was getting fiercer. He had no time to think about all this.

Whoosh, Whoosh, Boom!

Positive energy accompanied with flurries of light rushed out continuously.

Fade steadied himself and let his energy flow constantly. He knocked down several people and gradually gained the upper hand.

Throughout the battle, he was also gauging the strength of the opponents.

They were roughly between Level 5 to 6. It would be impressive to an average person, but to Fade, this was nothing at all.

If things went on like this, it was only a matter of time before he gained victory.

"Did they underestimate my power? Or is this not a trap at all? Is it just a coincidence?"

He was puzzled. Just then, one of the men turned towards the forest and made a monstrous howl.

"What are you doing?"

Fade was trying to figure out what was going on when suddenly, he felt the surrounding forest shake. Something was headed their way.

"They can communicate with vicious beasts!" After coming to this realization, Fade immediately became alert.

At that moment, the man who Just howled came closer and launched another attack.

At a closer distance, Fade was able to get a clear look at his face.

It was Daryl, one of the eight commanders of the Dragon Force.

Fade's eyes turned icy. He said coldly, "Daryl, do you know what you are doing?"

Daryl's expression was fierce and he did not stop attacking. He retorted back, "I'm killing you!"

His attacks were getting fiercer by the minute.

As such, Fade was starting to get riled up too.

He snorted heavily and said, "Even Kohen can't kill me, let alone you."

After that, Fade rushed towards him angrily.

With so much anger inside him, Fade did not hold back. Each attack he threw out was able to take out an opponent. Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh!

In less than ten seconds, five of Daryl's men had been killed by Fade.

This time, even Daryl was dumbfounded for a moment. He hurriedly roared at the forest a few more times.

"Calling your beasts for help?" Fade snorted and rushed to Daryl. "Go to hell!"

Swoosh!

A surge of energy whizzed past. Daryl gritted his teeth and triggered his positive energy to meet the attack head-on. Bang!

Unfortunately, his Stage 8 Level 6 energy was no match for Fade's Level 7 attack. Daryl could not stop it.

After the collision, Daryl's stream of energy shattered. His body flew backwards as blood spluttered out of his mouth. Fade continued to attack him and was ready to give him the final fatal blow.

Just then, a layer of light suddenly appeared on Daryl's body, and a violent burst of positive

energy circled him.

He quickly stood up from the ground as his aura began to rise. His martial arts realm quickly raised to Stage 9 of Level 6.

"A rapid advancement! Just like Kohen!"

When Fade saw this, he immediately thought of the battle between him and Kohen on Dragonpine Mountain. Immediately, he gritted his teeth. "You can't escape death by increasing your level."

While speaking, he continued to attack Daryl again.

Daryl's eyes were red, and his energy grew more and more violent. It continued to rise until he finally reached Level 7.

Feeling this momentum, Fade narrowed his eyes, and his killing intent became more and more intense.

A long crimson sword condensed

from the center of his palm. Its long,

red body glowed in the pitch-black valley. Fade slashed it towards

Daryl.

Boom!

At this moment, Daryl also activated all his strength and collided with Fade's sword in the air.

At the center of the collision, a strong force spread out. A loud explosion sounded. The initially dense valley was wiped clean in the center, leaving nothing but a huge crater.

In the crater, Daryl laid on the ground

with blood all over his body. He was still spitting blood, and almost all his bones were broken. At any second now, he was going to die.

Fade stood at the bottom of the pit, with a cruel and murderous look.

At that moment, all kinds of black figures, big and small, were gathering around the crater.

Judging from their silhouettes and their green and red eyes, it was likely that they were vicious beasts.
