Chapter 229: Chapter 203: The Exquisite Item Capable of Creating Artificial Intelligence Crisis– [Iron Will (Gold)]
The entrance to the underground layer became completely blocked by a collapse triggered by a powerful earthquake tremor from the old turtle.
Clearing the entrance would take at least half a day, which was impossible now.
And that wasn’t enough; Zi Liyuan continued with the old turtle to use earthquake tremor seven times in different locations, directly causing all entrances, exits, and secret tunnels on the “Elemental Map” to collapse.
In fact, when he first broke into the Iron Fist Fighting Gym, he had been intentionally delaying time.
It was to buy time for the higher-ups of the Heretical Sect to escape.
The reason he let these leaders flee was to secretly capture them and force them to cough up all the resources within their stronghold, especially the few he particularly wanted.
After all, he was concerned about unforeseen complications since establishing a fighting gym openly within the Imperial Capital’s defense city spoke volumes about the cult organization’s connections.
If word got out that he had obtained some top-tier resources, it could lead to big trouble.
Although he wasn’t afraid, being constantly troubled by various issues was still annoying.
What he didn’t expect was that the leaders of the Heretical Sect had bubbles for brains; instead of fleeing immediately, they gathered everyone to set up a formation, intending to fight for their lives against him.
Since they did not wish to flee, he would ensure that none of the Heretical Sect members could escape.
So, he destroyed all the entrances, exits, and secret escape routes first.
With the “Elemental Map” hack, he found a relatively weak spot above the center of the underground layer, and the old turtle just had to kick it a few times to create a big hole in the ceiling.
He then had the old turtle lie on top of the hole, sealing the only opened skylight, and took out the Array Plate to activate the “Sealing Magic Formation”.
As the Sealing Magic Formation was triggered, the entire underground layer was covered within an anti-magic circle.
Those Heretical Sect members who had just finished setting up their formation, ready for battle, were now dumbstruck.
All elemental-related skills were sealed, reducing their power by at least more than fifty percent.
What the hell could they still play with!
In just a moment, the Heretical Sect members panicked.
Then the two Fourth Order Level 100 leaders, not daring to waste more words, led their people in a strategic retreat.
Unfortunately, when they opened the hidden escape tunnel and saw it collapsed and buried by rocks, their panic intensified.
When all the entrances, exits, and escape tunnels were found to be collapsed, the cultists’ faces turned pale as if their fathers had died.
And Lord Zi, who had made all the preparations, was already striding into the underground layer with a BOSS summon at his side.
“Capture alive!”
An endless stream of Undead creatures was summoned, filling the underground layer slowly under the Wraith Mage’s control.
A group of BOSSes began to attack the remaining cultists.
Without the use of elemental skills, how could these cultists compete with the BOSSes on their own strength?
They were beaten back, and eventually, they were all cornered and surrounded by the Undead army.
Seeing the dismembered cultists gathered together, Zi Liyuan finally appeared with the Demon Spider.
“Hand over your equipment, everything in your Spatial Belts and Spatial Backpacks, give up resistance, and surrender obediently, and you will live; otherwise, death!”
Under Zi Liyuan’s coercion, surrounded by the Undead army, and with the watchful eyes of the Undead BOSSes, the already on-the-edge cultists’ psychological defenses were shattered instantly.
Over a hundred maimed cultists immediately knelt down on the ground, begging for mercy.
Even the higher-ups, a bit calmer, were ashen-faced, looking as grim as if they had lost their parents.
They had initially seen Zi Liyuan, the year’s national college entrance examination top scorer, entering the gym alone and thought his powers were limited, so they planned to rely on their formation and capture him alive for benefits.
They never imagined this guy would play dirty, summoning a host of Undead BOSS monsters and possessing a powerful anti-magic formation.
It completely destroyed their wishful thinking, and he even destroyed all the underground layer’s entrances, exits, and secret escape routes in advance.
This left them like turtles trapped in a jar, with absolutely no power to fight back under the overwhelming strength.
At that moment, his announcement offered the less powerful cult members a glimmer of hope to survive, so those who knelt and begged for mercy didn’t hesitate to strip off their equipment and throw out all the items from their Spatial Belts and Spatial Backpacks.
Zi Liyuan was not the least negligent with these cultists, even locking onto each of them with his Spirit.
As these cultists displayed all their attributes on their panels, he carefully checked the critical information such as their talent attributes.
There were one hundred forty-eight people on the field, and one hundred twenty-two of them shared their information without reservation.
Almost all of the attributes from their panels were of warriors, with scarcely a few from life professions.
However, five life profession members caught his attention because these five had excellent jobs.
Three Array Masters and two Inscription Masters, all rare types among life profession workers.
In theory, such rare life profession talents should be recruited by large families or corporate groups for nurturing, no need to join a cult organization.
