Chu Tian observed the chaos from a distance, relieved that no wind blades targeted him, reducing the risk of exposure. As the second wave of wind blades approached, the threat escalated, claiming the lives of three more of Xu Qiao Sheng's guards.
Xu Qiao Sheng, realizing the increasing danger, urged his team to accelerate and reach the next safe zone, located between the perilous areas of Hell's Gate. He led the remaining fifty-eight people through the shortest direct path, determined to reach the next area quickly.
Chu Tian understood Xu Qiao Sheng's initial insistence on him leading the way: Xu Qiao Sheng suspected Chu Tian might have already acquired the treasure and used a fake map to deceive him. If the treasure had indeed been taken by Chu Tian, Xu Qiao Sheng, with his S+ level strength, would have certainly confronted Chu Tian to seize it.
Infiltrating Xu Qiao Sheng's group while disguised as one of his guards, Chu Tian waited for the right moment to strike. He managed to silently eliminate a guard and disguised himself in the guard's uniform, blending in with the group. Amid the chaos and focus on avoiding wind blades, no one noticed Chu Tian's sudden appearance.
As they advanced three kilometers, only thirty-five of Xu Qiao Sheng's men remained. The winds intensified, and the temperature dropped, signaling the increasing danger of the Wind Blade Area. Xu Qiao Sheng, whose combat suit was already damaged from the previous areas, urged his team to push forward.
Suddenly, several massive wind blades, over ten meters wide, struck. Xu Qiao Sheng reacted quickly, creating two flaming swords with his hands and dispersing the wind blades, saving his remaining team members.
Determined to escape, the group hurried towards the next safe zone. Chu Tian, hiding among the thirty remaining guards, prepared to assassinate Xu Qiao Sheng in the upcoming area.
As they narrowly escaped a massive wind blade and entered the second safe zone, Chu Tian revealed his true identity, equipping his Emperor Domination Spear and making his intentions clear. Xu Qiao Sheng, upon recognizing the Emperor Domination Spear, realized he was facing Chu Tian. He laughed off Chu Tian's threats, underestimating him due to the difference in their levels.
Chu Tian, undeterred, demonstrated his true power by swiftly attacking with his spear. He effortlessly eliminated two guards with his four-ton heavy Emperor Domination Spear, shocking Xu Qiao Sheng and the others with his strength and speed.
Xu Qiao Sheng, witnessing Chu Tian's prowess, attacked with his flaming sword, summoning a fire dragon towards Chu Tian. Reacting quickly, Chu Tian dodged the fire dragon and counterattacked, aiming his spear at Xu Qiao Sheng's head, showcasing his formidable combat skills and determination to overcome the odds.
