Harvey Franklin: "Jiang Chen, come back quickly. Even though you're a Second-stage, you're no match for him."

Jiang Chen activated Wan Jian Gui Clan Mode.

30,000 sword qi instantly charged towards Asaye, shattering swiftly within 100 meters, unable to attack Asaye even with Level 100 Legendary Equipment.

Jiang Chen shouted, "Commander, you all retreat first. I'll hold them off. We can't afford to get entangled in a fight now."

"Can you handle it?"

"I can."

Harvey Franklin turned back to look at the Heroes. Their eyes showed no fighting spirit, only fear of the Underworld Clan, rendering them incapable of confronting the enemy.

Out of necessity, Harvey Franklin issued the order to retreat.

As Harvey Franklin's forces retreated, Asaye led his army forward in a charge. Jiang Chen's brow furrowed, and he immediately activated the [Yuan Qi Barrier].

Within a 1-kilometer radius...

Everyone's body weight increased by a hundredfold.

Except for Asaye, the warriors behind him all lay prostrate on the ground, immobilized as if subjected to 100 times normal gravity.

Asaye's brow furrowed. "Gravity, huh? It seems you've switched to new equipment."

"You're unharmed?"

Jiang Chen wore a look of astonishment.

Asaye said, "Do you think mere gravity can stop me? Your equipment may have gravity enhancements, but mine can neutralize abnormal statuses. So your tricks are completely useless against me."

So that's how it was.

Dammit, how could I forget that effect? If I had known, I would've added a skill to counter abnormal statuses. How did that slip my mind!

Although Jiang Chen couldn't stop Asaye, he could hold back the million-strong army behind him.

If Asaye charged to pursue the retreating Heroes, the million warriors behind him would become sacrificial lambs, turning into experience points for Jiang Chen.

Obviously, Asaye realized this too and didn't continue the chase, instead standing still.

Jiang Chen didn't dare to act rashly. What other bizarre skills might this kid have? If I'm not careful and end up dead, what then?

After all, the enemy was a Fifth-stage Strongman. Caution was of the essence.

As the warriors of the Alliance of All-Gods retreated, Asaye understood that the opportunity for battle was lost and pursuit was no longer feasible.

Asaye said, "Barrier."

Several beams of light connected in an instant, encircling the million-strong army. Asaye stepped out, clenched his right fist, and walked towards Jiang Chen.

He used the barrier to encircle and protect his million-strong army. Then, he advanced alone to attack Jiang Chen.

This is a rather good idea...

Jiang Chen activated Wan Jian Gui Clan's Skill again. These skills rushed towards the Barrier to see if they could break it and kill the million-strong army. If he could break through, that army would become more experience points.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The 30,000 sword qi struck the Barrier, but it remained unshaken.

At that moment, Asaye charged towards Jiang Chen, throwing a punch at the area Jiang Chen occupied.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Space vibrated, shattering like a mirror.

Jiang Chen quickly dodged.

By then, Jiang Chen knew that this person's attack range was a maximum of 200 meters. As long as he stayed outside that range, he would be safe.

Asaye was both offensive and defensive, unbeatable in close combat. His only weakness was his slow speed, which couldn't match Jiang Chen's. This was why Jiang Chen dared to stay behind alone to block him.

Asaye, seeing Jiang Chen continuously maneuvering to stay beyond 200 meters, instantly knew he couldn't kill him and decided to return.

Asaye issued the order to go back.

The battlefield witnessed an awkward scene: some warriors lay on the ground, unable to move or lift themselves. The only regrettable thing was, under 10 tons of pressure, not a single Underworld Clan warrior had died?

How awkward.

Come to think of it, every Underworld Clan warrior is formidable. Ten tons only forced them to the ground; it wasn't enough to crush them. Killing them would probably require 10 times that weight.

But under 10 tons of weight, they were already utterly powerless to fight.

Asaye said, "Disengage your gravity Skill; let's call this battle a draw."

You think I'll disengage it just because you tell me to?

Who do you think you are?

Since Asaye was present, Jiang Chen couldn't achieve much more anyway.

He disengaged the Skill.

The thousands of warriors of the Underworld Clan heaved a sigh of relief and stood up.

Just then, Jiang Chen activated the Primal Energy Field again.

The warriors who had just stood up instantly fell to the ground again.

The warriors of the Underworld Clan were furious.

Such dishonorable tactics!

Are you toying with us?!

Asaye's brow furrowed. "What's your name?"

"Jiang Chen."

"My name is Asaye, a member of the Royal Family of the Underworld Clan. Next time, I will kill you."

"We'll see if you have the ability!"

Jiang Chen disengaged the Primal Energy Field.

Instantly, thousands of warriors regained control of their bodies. Some managed to stand up, while others remained on the ground.

Swordsman, you're not going to pull that stunt again, are you?!

Jiang Chen laughed heartily and turned to leave.

With a few leaps, Jiang Chen caught up with the main force.

Harvey Franklin watched Jiang Chen return. Seeing that the Underworld Clan hadn't pursued them, he breathed a long sigh of relief. "That guy is truly terrifying. His equipment must be enhanced with spatial effects, and paired with his class traits, it makes him very hard to kill."

"Unless a Seventh-stage expert shows up, someone who can break through his defenses."

A thought struck Jiang Chen. "Don't we have Heroes like that on our side?"

Harvey Franklin shook his head. "No, that's a unique class to them. We do have Spatial Wizards here, but their Skills are completely different."

"Even though they're all Spatial Mages, the Skills they've developed are different."

"To push the Underworld Clan out now, we'll have to wait for the Alliance's upper echelons to send a powerful expert, someone who can target his class traits for a one-shot kill."

"I've looked at your equipment's Attributes; it's all just flashy, impractical stuff. You need to focus on developing your class based on its inherent traits. What's with these poison and confusion effects? As a Swordsman, what do you need poison or confusion for? What is all this nonsense?"

Harvey Franklin couldn't help but rant.

"And what's this about health regeneration and a Protective Shield? Such a mishmash completely wastes the attributes of a Legendary Set!"

Jiang Chen said, "Why didn't you remind me earlier?"

"I thought you knew."

Harvey Franklin said earnestly, "That Chief Commander of the Underworld Clan, for example, wears equipment that perfectly complements his innate traits. He's a Spatial Series warrior, and his gear maximizes his offensive capabilities, making him terrifying."

Jiang Chen thought about it and realized Harvey had a point.

"When you craft equipment from now on, you must include properties that reduce the effects of abnormal statuses. Right now, you're only facing Ordinary Heroes who don't have specific class Skills. But if you encounter other powerful classes in the future, you will undoubtedly die."

"Just like that Chief Commander of the Underworld Clan."

Harvey Franklin warned solemnly.
