Chapter 62: World Boss [Yatengu]! Prepare For Battle!

“Brother, do you think this is the Gaotian Plains?”

“It’s hard to say…but there must be something great here. Have you forgotten the organization’s instructions?”

“It’s no longer important to know whether it’s Gaotian Plains or not. We can’t leave now even if we want to.”

A few people whispered to each other under an old locust tree.

They all turned to look at the stele that was surrounded by the crowd.

Unfortunately, none of them could decipher the real meaning of the words on the stele.

Thud…thud…thud…

A rhythmic knock came from behind them.

“What is it?”

The leader of the group turned around with a strange look in his eyes.

However, a tall figure entered his sight.

The figure wore a red mask on its face, and its long nose resembled a sharp spike. Its entire body was hidden under the black robe. Only its unsheathed katana could be seen.

The rhythmic sound came from beneath its feet.

He was wearing clogs.

They were wooden shoes…

Clogs are a traditional shoe in Japan.

It was very rare to find clogs in modern society.

Its cold eyes, which could be seen through the two hollows of the mask, were emotionless as he stared at them.

“Who is it? Stop creeping us out!”

The leader of the team frowned and shouted.

The strange man had appeared behind him out of the blue, and that pissed him off.

“We’re a team from the Hunter Group. If you don’t want to die, don’t provoke us…”

He was halfway through his sentence when his words got cut off.

Looking up, he realized that there was a message floating above the monster’s head.

Level 35 World Boss [Yatengu]!

“Raven…Sky Hound? World Boss?”

His earlier rude tone suddenly turned into a stammer. He was so nervous that he had forgotten how to speak.

It was as if he had fallen into an ice cavern. Cold sweat drenched his clothes.

What kind of existence did a Level 35 world boss have?

Even though their levels were about the same, an entire team was required to gather before they could start battling normal dungeon bosses.

Nevertheless, this was a world dungeon, and the person standing before him was a world boss.

This was not someone that they could fight against!

“Save…”

Before the man could finish his sentence, the Yatengu stabbed its katana toward him at an extremely fast speed.

Clang!

The snow-white blade swung through the air.

In a flash of cold light, blood splattered three feet away on the ground!

His head fell to the ground!

A Level 30 Knight was beheaded before he could even raise his weapon or use his skills.

The Yatengu moved way too quickly.

Everything happened in less than 0.3 seconds. It executed its movements in perfect sync from the moment it pulled out the katana up to the moment he pulled it back.

He did it in one go!

He did not make any noise, and he did not attract the attention of the Awakened Ones who were observing the stele.

The man’s teammates quickly pulled out their weapons. They wanted to call out to the other Awakened Ones for help.

However, the Yatengu was faster than them!

He thrust its katana out once to kill one person.

Right then, it thrust its katana once more to kill the three people in front of it as well!

It slashed at them in the exact same way as it did before.

The hand that held onto the katana stabbed out from underneath the black robe. It moved extremely quickly. The moment white light flashed, the katana slashed through flesh and blood, and heads fell to the ground. The cut was extremely smooth.

Even if one already expected its moves, one would not be able to react to its fast movements, let alone block or dodge them.

Three heads fell to the ground, and blood stained the soil.

The Yatengu gently wiped its katana on their clothes. The blood on it was wiped clean.

The entire blade shone with a dazzling white light just like it did the moment it unsheathed it. It was as if it had just been forged from a blacksmith shop and had never been used before.

Thud…thud…thud…

The Yatengu continued walking forward as the wooden clogs beneath its feet made rhythmic sounds on the stone pavement.

The footsteps sounded like…the sound of the god of death striking a bell.

Meanwhile, the Yatengu resembled the god of death as he wielded its katana while walking forward mercilessly.

He was here to take their lives!

…

The smell of blood filled the air!

Suddenly, Chen Feng’s expression changed.

Due to his high mental power, his senses were sharper than others.

Under the stench from the swamp, an extremely weak scent of blood drifted through the air.

Chen Feng immediately turned around as his sharp gaze locked onto a spot behind him.

The smell of blood was the heaviest there!

A steel knife suddenly pierced through the chest of a young woman with loose blond hair.

The blade flashed with a cold light and moved upwards in a graceful arc to split her body into two.

Blood splattered as the two halves of her body fell in different directions.

The tall figure behind the woman was revealed.

This person had a muscular body. Under the black robe, the figure was dressed in a Japanese attire known as the “Yamato Suit.” Its face was red, and it had a long nose. There were two jet-black wings on its back. Meanwhile, he was holding onto an unsheathed katana.

A fog of blood surged around its body, and it exuded a sharp and cold intent to kill.

“The Yatengu!”

Chen Feng’s expression grew cold.

He already recognized this figure.

After all, before entering Gaotian Plains, Chen Feng had carried out research on Japanese myths and folklore for an entire night.

The Yatengu was one of the monsters in Japanese folklore.

Upon hearing Chen Feng’s voice, Pu Yunmo and Sakurai Longzi quickly turned around and caught sight of the Yatengu with the katana in its hands as it stood at the end of the crowd.

Level 35 World Boss [Yatengu]

“Sakurai Longzi, I remember… In Japanese mythology, isn’t the Yatengu the God of Kindness?” Chen Feng asked softly.

“That’s true… but Gaotian Plains is still a mythical and divine place. Look here again…”

Sakurai Longzi was extremely nervous when she saw the legendary monster standing in front of her.

Ever since entering Gaotian Plains, she seemed to have become the team’s “advisor oon Japanese mythology”.

She would answer all the questions related to Japanese mythology.

“That makes sense.”

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and prepared himself for battle.

Even the mythical land of the gods had become so sinister and terrifying, let alone the legendary God of Kindness.

Since the word “boss” was written on top of his head, this was definitely the enemy that they needed to face.

Chen Feng stared into his empty, emotionless eyes.

Taking in a deep breath, he whispered out loud.

“All members, prepare for battle!”
