Chapter 409 Monster Siege (1)_2
"The ambush was full throttle, truly striking the mark with each kill.
Within a mere minute, four Alien Lords had lost their lives to his hands.
And as the Alien Lords kept falling, those intent on wreaking havoc and assassination simply fell apart, employing all their tricks to flee.
But surrounded by the Spectral Dragon Army, escaping wasn't so easy.
Any Lord cursed with the Aging Curse not only saw their life force rapidly draining away but their strength deteriorating as well, making their attempts to escape all the more difficult.
Not to mention, hidden within the Replicas, the original Spectre Dragons launched undead dragon language Spells similar to 'Zi someone,' doing so stealthily.
With the delay tactics of these Spectral Dragons, Zi Liyuan's hunting efficiency greatly increased.
But as the number of Alien Lords dwindled to a mere dozen or so, these fellows finally stood their ground with backbone, no longer trying to flee but instead erupting like Holy Warriors. Viewing themselves as bombs, they charged into the ranks of the Spectral Dragons and then exploded with a 'boom,' leaving not even bones behind.
This kamikaze scene caught 'Zi someone' and the Spectral Dragon horde completely off guard.

Such scrolls and artifacts are extremely precious and rare treasures.
Zi Liyuan only managed to obtain five fourth-tier Time Acceleration Scrolls and had been reluctant to use them, reserving them for later entry into the Divine Demonic Tower.
As for items that could modify rules, he had not managed to obtain any.
These artifacts are exceedingly rare, and generally, others won't bring out such treasures for sale.
Back on Blue Star, neither the military and officials of the Great Xia Empire nor the Dragon Academy had ever offered such a treasure in their dealings with him.
The monster siege that arrived earlier than anticipated disrupted Zi Liyuan's plans, but it was a minor hiccup.
Everything that needed to be prepared was in fact ready. The only unprepared party was likely the Blue Star Lord who had just pledged allegiance to him and moved the Lord's Mansion here.
However, the battle power of the 21 Lords who had removed the Sea of Realms' Heavenly Dao restrictions was strong enough to withstand the first few waves of the monster siege.
Moreover, there was an Undead Army on one side, under 'Zi someone,' ready to march to the front lines should the need arise.
"Whoo~..."
Just then, another Alien Lord brought out a horn-like artifact and immediately sounded the horn.
At once, with the spread of the horn's call, all the wild beasts within a thousand miles went berserk, each entering a frenzied state.
With this wave, the strength of all the monsters increased by 30%!
"Are you never going to give up?"
Four teleportation gates were spewing out monsters at an extreme rate, with at least a hundred per second on the lower side—creatures of all kinds, with Goblins and Slimes and such being the most common in larger numbers.
Their strengths varied greatly, ranging from tier 1 LV20 to LV40, with BOSS monsters mixed in among them.
In mere minutes, tens of thousands of monsters surged forth, charging straight toward the castle.
Each Alien Lord produced a variety of artifacts to buff these emerging monsters, boosting their strengths.
The use of various artifacts skyrocketed the wild beasts' power by more than double.
Hmm, their power was still inadequate to inspect, as the base strength of the recent waves of monsters wasn't high enough to withstand fortifications; no matter how much they were strengthened, they could not reach the intensity of fourth-tier monsters.
Zi Liyuan just gave them a glance then shifted his focus back to hunting the Alien Lords.
These rascals, since they wanted to kill him, couldn't be let off the hook.
Zi 'someone' casually activated and tore a fourth-tier Space Seal Scroll.
Although the opposing side had also sealed off the surrounding space, who knew if they had left an escape route.
'Zi someone' had to ensure those damned things couldn't get away so easily." Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
Thousands of Spectral Dragon armies encircled the Alien Lords from all directions, delivering a group beating.
Compared to the Wanderers and Mercenaries who had nearly been annihilated just moments ago, the strength of these Alien Lords was a cut above.
However, for someone like Zi Liyuan, hunting elites was the name of the game!
"Dilys and Kulong, you command the Spectral Dragons to delay these Alien Lords as much as possible and prevent them from escaping the spatial seal area."
Leaping down from the back of Dilys' dragon, Zi Liyuan was caught by Hongsha and, in the next moment, disappeared into a blood-red cloud.
These Alien Lords had been targeting Zi Liyuan from the start, unleashing all sorts of attack skills aimed at his face.
Now, taking advantage of the ghost fiend created by the epic wraith Hongsha, he effortlessly evaded their targeting.
And hiding in the shadows, it became much easier for Zi Liyuan to hunt.
After all, his skills were extremely damaging, and assassination was much easier than direct confrontation.
The previous head-on collisions, after the initial one or two volleys that caught several Alien Lords by surprise and killed them, turned into a war of attrition focused on logistical support.
Despite the sheer number of Alien Lords, they were no match for Zi Liyuan's monstrous endurance in a battle of attrition.
Now, Zi Liyuan's spirit immediately targeted the Alien Lord creating the teleportation gate.
Almost in an instant, Hongsha had brought him behind the target.
In the blink of an eye, the "Soul Shatter" skill Zi Liyuan had prepared earlier was flung at the Lord.
This skill directly attacked the spirit, bypassing most barriers and formations meant for protection, and directly inflicting damage on the target's spirit, causing various negative effects such as dizziness and vomiting.
Unfortunately for this particular Alien Lord, who did possess means to protect his spirit, he was utterly unprepared when the soul-devastating "Soul Shatter" exploded within his spirit.
Seeing stars, his vision swam in confusion.
Almost instantly, the Alien Lord slumped to the ground, temporarily stunned.
Such a golden opportunity was not to be missed by Zi Liyuan.
He unleashed his skills point-blank.
"Death Shadow Arrow," "Bone Spear," "Poison Spear"...
One high-powered skill after another formed in an instant and pummeled the defenseless Alien Lord's face.
The sound of "crack" after "crack" filled Zi Liyuan's ears.
The three layers of protective barriers and shields constructed by the Lord were demolished under the onslaught of skills, catastrophically destroyed.
The next moment, the Alien Lord lost his life breath still in a daze.
With the kill made at close range and the body swiftly collected, Zi Liyuan and Hongsha once again vanished from the spot.
The next time they appeared, they were behind another Alien Lord.
The shadowy ambush tactic was deadly accurate.
In just one minute, four Alien Lords had fallen by his hand.
And as the Alien Lords continued to fall, these meddlesome assassins completely collapsed, each trying to escape using their own methods.
But with the Spectral Dragons encircling them, escape wasn't so easy, was it?
Any Lord afflicted with the Aging Curse not only saw their life force rapidly dissipating but their powers waning as well, making their attempts to escape all the more difficult.
Not to mention, the true Spectral Dragons hiding in their Replicas, were clandestinely casting undead dragon Spells just like Zi Liyuan.
With the delay tactics of these Spectral Dragons, Zi Liyuan's hunting efficiency significantly increased.
But when only about a dozen Alien Lords remained, they finally showed some spine. Instead of fleeing, they erupted like Holy Warriors using themselves as bombs, rushing into the midst of the Spectral Dragons and exploding with a "boom," leaving no corpse behind.
This suicidal display caught both Zi Liyuan and the Spectral Dragon army off guard.
