Chapter 013: Breaking the Formation

“Hahaha, you liar! Du Fan, you scoundrel! How dare you deceive me by claiming you’ve defeated the God of Food and the Sun God! With your strength, how could you possibly beat them?” Seeing Du Fan sent flying far away with just one move, Ghost God suddenly burst into laughter. It felt like an extreme release after being suppressed for a long time!
Du Fan was extremely annoyed and frustrated. Ever since entering the Divine Ruins, he couldn’t remember how many times he had been flung away!
The good news was that although he was sent flying this time, he didn’t get thrown straight into the mountain wall like when attacked by the Sun God.
“Ghost God! How dare you attack me from behind when I wasn’t paying attention!” Du Fan got up from the foot of the mountain in the distance and rushed in front of Ghost God, shouting loudly.
“You! You were sent flying so far, yet you’re unharmed?” Ghost God stared at Du Fan, who seemed unaffected, and asked in shock.
“I already said it—I was accidentally attacked by you. Do you really think you can hurt me?” Du Fan said with a smile.
Obviously, Ghost God couldn’t immediately figure out that Du Fan had an absolute protective field. Du Fan’s enigmatic smile actually intimidated Ghost God, as he couldn’t understand why Du Fan, having been sent flying by him, wasn’t hurt at all.
“Ghost God, according to the rules, since we’ve passed this level, the item guarding it should be given to me first, right?” Du Fan asked.
Ghost God didn’t answer right away but quickly rolled his two black eyes several times.
“Hmph, give it to you? At least wait until you defeat me first,” Ghost God said after rolling his eyes.
“Ghost God, are you breaking the rules? By not giving me the item right away, aren’t you afraid the higher-ups will find out?” Du Fan asked.
“Haha, what a joke! Even if they find out, it will be only after you try to enter the next level. If you all die here, how will they know I didn’t give you the guarded item?” Ghost God suddenly started laughing incessantly.
It was fine when Ghost God wasn’t laughing, but once he did, his incessant laughter was extremely grating! Hearing his laughter, Du Fan finally understood what it meant to hear the wails of the damned.

It’s grating! Absolutely grating! It’s like having an iron awl grinding hard next to your ear! That harsh sound makes one want to tear out one’s own heart!
“Are you really sure you can keep us?” Du Fan asked seriously suddenly.
“Gaga, just try and see!” The Ghost God laughed noisily.
His long robe swirled, covering the entire body of the Ghost God, and thick gray smoke suddenly emerged from where he stood!
That smoke quickly covered the entire valley, turning it into a place where nothing could be seen even a meter away.
As the smoke dissipated, Moses released his battlefield again!
Soon, within a range of a hundred meters, normal visibility was restored.
However, the space inside the valley was far beyond the reach of Moses’s battlefield!
“There’s a god this timid!” A strange thought suddenly arose in Du Fan’s mind!
“Ghost God! Are you even a god? To resort to such a trick!” Du Fan shouted.
“Gaga, this mist is one of my skills. Wait until you can break through my mist formation!” the Ghost God laughed noisily.
This Ghost God not only wasn’t ashamed of his timidity but also found an excuse for it!
“What should we do, Du Fan?” Moses asked.
“This Ghost God seems too timid and cautious. He won’t come out, but we still have to keep moving forward,” Du Fan said.
“Then let’s keep moving forward,” Basa said.
“The exit of the valley is over there. We just need to keep going in that direction,” Moses said, pointing to the right front.
Du Fan and his group set off again! In the mist, relying on Moses’s battlefield, they moved forward toward the valley’s exit within the 100-meter range of visibility he created.
After ten minutes, everyone started to feel something was wrong!
In ten minutes, at their speed, they should have already left the valley!
But during those ten minutes, there was still no sign of progress!
“Du Fan, something’s off! By my estimate, we should have left the valley by now! Why is it still foggy everywhere?” Moses said.

“Gaga, you bunch of fools—just wait to spend your whole lives wandering in my mist maze! Gaga, don’t think that creating a domain means you can escape my mist maze! To put it simply, when you release your domain, it’s as if you’re just a giant creature—hundreds of meters long and wide! But do you really think that distance is enough to break through my mist maze? Hmph, that’s delusional!” the Ghost God said with laughter.

Seeing such a group of threats trapped in his mist maze, unable to escape without even lifting a hand, the Ghost God was naturally overjoyed!

“This isn’t a solution. Unless we can directly harm the Ghost God’s true form, we won’t be able to break through his mist maze!” Moses said.

“Gaga, just stay inside! You can’t even find me, yet you still want to fight me? How absurd! Pure delusion!” the Ghost God said mockingly.

“I can attack him directly,” Naixiu whispered to Du Fan.

“You? Can you see him?” Du Fan asked.

“My domain skill can’t see him, but it can lock onto the Ghost God’s aura and attack him directly,” Naixiu replied.

“Good. Then get ready to attack the Ghost God. When I wave my hand like this, shoot!” Du Fan said.

“Okay. I’ll wait for your signal.” Naixiu suddenly closed her eyes and nocked an arrow on her bow.

“Ghost God, do you think that by hiding sneakily like this, we can’t attack you? Just wait!” Du Fan shouted loudly.

“Gaga. If you could attack me, would you still be waiting?” the Ghost God laughed loudly.

Du Fan suddenly waved his hand! Naixiu released the arrow, which vanished instantly!

With a “pfft!” sound, the mist disappeared. Five hundred meters away, the Ghost God stared in disbelief at an arrow embedded in his chest!

“You guys are truly unforgivable!” the Ghost God roared in anger.

In pain, his mouth splitting open, he violently pulled the arrow out of his chest!

Although Naixiu’s arrow hit the Ghost God directly, his godly status and formidable defensive abilities ensured the arrow stopped just in front of his heart—neither deep nor shallow enough to cause serious damage.

With the arrow removed, the Ghost God’s expression was a mix of pain, disbelief, anger, and fear.

“Although it didn’t cause me serious harm this time, what about next time? Moreover, that arrow was shot in such a strange way! I didn’t even have time to take any protective measures! It seemed as if the arrow suddenly pierced right into my chest!” The demon thought, “What if the next arrow hits my head, right where my divine essence resides?” The demon dared not think any further.

But anger still took over!

Fueled by anger after being struck, the demon raised its spear and charged at Du Fan once again!

This time, Moses, Du Fan, Basha, and Six Wings all rushed forward together to confront the demon and attack it!

The four of them quickly engaged the demon one after another!

Du Fan was the first to go at it, and his speed was the fastest among the four!

He swung his sword at the demon’s spear. The demon shook slightly, and Du Fan was sent flying by a tremendous force! This time, he didn’t fly far away but instead staggered sideways and retreated five or six steps.

Next was Six Wings! As he charged at the demon, Six Wings had already spread out his six wings and glided gracefully through the air in a beautiful arc, reaching for the demon with both hands!

Seeing Six Wings’ attack, the demon’s expression turned grave!

The demon had encountered six-winged angels in the divine realm before! In the divine realm, six-winged angels possessed the strength of higher gods! In other words, a single six-winged angel had the cultivation level of a great god!

Only a few such six-winged angels existed under the supreme god’s throne, shining with brilliant light!

Even in the divine realm, any six-winged angel was a radiant being!

After pushing Du Fan back, Six Wings’ claws reached for the demon’s head, while Moses’ sword of war also pierced toward the demon’s chest!

Suddenly, the tip of the spear flipped upward, tapping each of Six Wings’ claws. Six Wings let out a scream and flew backward, flapping his six wings repeatedly until he stabilized himself about five meters away.

Looking down at his palms, he saw cuts the size of rice grains!

With just two more shots, the demon pushed Six Wings back again and left wounds on his claws! The milky white light on Six Wings’ body flickered as he realized that the healing of his bones after being injured by the demon was much slower than after being scratched by the golden eagle!

Amidst the attacks of the demon god, there were now special divine forces at play! Such attacks could significantly slow down the recovery of the Six-Winged’s injuries!
After driving back the Six-Winged, Moses’ long sword was already at its chest!
The demon god swung its spear, and its shaft collided with Moses’ long sword!
The sound of metal meeting echoed clearly through the valley!
Moses was knocked back a step, but thanks to the formidable strength of his demon warriors and the overwhelming pressure from the Sword of War, the demon god also staggered under the impact of Moses’ strike in the sudden confrontation!
It was during this moment of instability that dwarf Basha’s axe came into play!
That axe was swung straight at the demon god’s head!
This final strike carried the greatest momentum of all!
If one were to ask who among Moses, Basha, and Du Fan had the greatest strength, it would undoubtedly be Basha! As a race renowned for their bravery and strength, dwarves are naturally powerful warriors! It is this innate divine strength that gives them an advantage in mining!
With their small size and immense strength, they seem to be born for mining!
Their small size means they don’t need to dig very wide tunnels—compared to human-mined tunnels, dwarf tunnels require far less labor!
