The three worked together with extreme coordination, clearly not their first time collaborating.

The sudden involvement of the three Guardian Beasts caught the Iron Wolf Thieves off guard.

But the Iron Wolf Thieves couldn't have survived this long without some competence; they quickly stabilized the situation.

The leader tore off the mask from his face and threw it toward the battlefield.

The Iron Wolf Thieves behind him also removed their masks one after another.

This scene was naturally witnessed by the crowd.

Li Mingjie saw this and his face instantly became extremely ugly.

"Boss, what's wrong? Aren't those Iron Wolf Thieves just taking off their masks? What's so scary about that?" A tall and thin man asked perplexedly.

"You don't understand. It's said that those who've seen these bandits' true faces all ended up dead. Now that they've removed their masks, it means they're ready for a fight to the death with us."

"But our reinforcements have arrived, haven't we no need to fear them?"

"You really think the Iron Wolf Thieves are fools? If they couldn't win, they would've fled long ago. Taking off their masks now shows they're confident they can leave us all here."

Hearing Li Mingjie's analysis, the tall and thin man's face turned pale.

"Boss, should we run?"

"Run? It's too late now. Even if we do escape, there's no place for us in Celestial Star City. To survive, we must fight with all our might." With that, he commanded his Guardian Beasts to charge back into the fray.

The actions of the Iron Wolf Thieves naturally caught the attention of Qi Mingyu and others.

"Mingyu, look at the scar on that man's face," Gao Ye pointed at the leader and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Qi Mingyu quickly looked over, and upon seeing the person's appearance, his expression changed.

"No, the intelligence is wrong. This isn't the third leader of the Iron Wolf Thieves, but the second leader, Iron Water Wolf," Qi Mingyu exclaimed.

Yun Qingqing asked with a frown, "Is this second leader very strong?"

"He is the strongest among the Iron Wolf Thieves, and it's said he has already reached the Half-step Lord Level."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingqing's face turned ugly.

"What should we do?" Yun Qingqing asked in a low voice.

Qi Mingyu took a deep breath before speaking in a deep voice, "First, call for reinforcements. We'll try to hold them off; if we truly can't manage, we'll have to flee."

Yun Qingqing and the others fell silent at these words.

At this moment, Chu Chen was observing the pitch-black giant wolf; its shoulder height was about one zhang, and its body length reached two zhangs. Its limbs were quite sturdy, and its oil-green wolf eyes were full of ferocity.

Chu Chen was well aware that the key to the outcome of this battle lay with the giant wolf in front of him. Without hesitation, he summoned the Slaughter Atlas to check the information of the opponent.

Chu Chen frowned upon seeing the information about the Black Demon Wolf; its strength was indeed formidable and not something he could currently contend with.

At this moment, Qi Mingyu seemed to think of something and quickly turned his head to Chu Chen and the others, "The intelligence is incorrect. The Iron Wolf Thieves' strength is much stronger than ours. You should escape first while we hold them off."

Chu Chen did not answer but instead looked at Zhang Yuyan.

Qi Mingyu and the others also turned their gaze to Zhang Yuyan.

They clearly realized who held the decision power.

Zhang Yuyan looked at Chu Chen and said, "You decide."

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, "Very well. Since we've accepted the mission, let's try to complete it. Besides, we also want some experience, and these Iron Wolf Thieves make an excellent grindstone."

Zhang Yuyan nodded, "Fine, let's see what they're made of."

Qi Mingyu and the others were filled with disbelief as they listened to the conversation between these two.

Before they could protest, Chu Chen spoke up, "The intelligence is indeed incorrect, but their overall strength isn't too formidable. The Iron-Backed Giant Bear is tough-skinned, and with the Thorn Vine Demon's control, I believe stalling the Iron Demon Wolf for some time shouldn't be an issue."

Qi Mingyu thought for a moment and nodded, "While I don't have the assurance to defeat the Iron Demon Wolf, I can stall it for some time."

Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Gao Ye, "Your Wind Winged Sparrow is strong. It has just taken down three Guardian Beasts of the Third and Fourth Rank Commander Level. Next, switch your target to Guardian Beasts above the Fifth Rank, and we'll handle those below the Fifth Rank. What do you all think?"

Qi Mingyu and the others exchanged glances, seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

After considering for a moment, Qi Mingyu spoke in a deep voice, "With your strength, it might be difficult to get involved in this battle, right?"

Chu Chen wasn't offended and instead replied with a smile, "You don't think we're just relatives of the curator, do you? Let me tell you, my contract level is A-level, and this one's contract level is S-level."

The three were instantly shocked, disregarding Chu Chen, and turned their attention to Zhang Yuyan.

They were well aware of the value of contract levels. They've seen A-level contract holders before, and such geniuses fighting beyond their level was routine. But this was the first time they encountered an S-level contract holder, and they were extremely eager to see how strong the other party truly was.

"Alright, let's do as you say. If it doesn't work out, the two of you must retreat first. This is a strict order from the curator," Qi Mingyu stated firmly.

"Don't worry, we're quite fond of our lives," Chu Chen replied with a grin.

The three didn't waste any more words and acted according to the plan.

The Iron-Backed Black Bear let out a low roar and charged towards the Iron Demon Wolf.

The Thorn Vine Demon lingered in the distance, but its spiky vines closely followed the Iron-Backed Giant Bear, like submissive serpents ready to launch a lethal strike given the opportunity.

The Wind Winged Sparrow flew into the air, unleashing wind blades without restraint, slicing towards a Giant Python.

Seeing this, Chu Chen summoned Nirvana as well. He patted the two beasts' bodies and laughed, "Go, have a good fight."

Lei Yao let out an excited low growl. Without any hesitation, it deployed its trump card. Its eyes instantly turned blood-red, and dense Thunder Element gathered to it. Its aura surged at a terrifying speed, breaking through to the Commander Level in an instant.

But it didn't stop there. It climbed from the First Rank Commander Level to the Second, and onward until it reached the Fourth Rank Commander Level before halting.
