Chapter 154: Slaying Solar, Destroying Sunflare (III)
Impossible!
Well, not that a revolt was impossible, but that a Slayer wasn’t able to kill a Solar at such close quarters. Hao Lianchuan kept the same expression on his face, but inwardly cursed Silver City for being an incredibly bizarre location. Their Night Watcher branch didn’t listen to orders and even their inspector general was a strange fellow.
Hao Lianchuan’s gaze shifted to the side as he grumbled to himself and caught sight of a middle-aged man who seemed honest, but wore a look of worry. It was a driver from Qiao Mining Industries.
Mu Sen wants to kill him? Why? This essence is securely nested within the heart of Nøv€lß¡n★
Hao Lianchuan even had the impulse to stop the inspector general, but someone appeared in front of him at this time.
“Director Hao, my teacher says...” Li Hao began.
Hao Lianchuan didn’t hear a word of what Yuan Shuo purportedly said. Actually, Li Hao didn’t say anything either. Killing intent suddenly flashed through Mu Sen’s eyes and he cut down the driver with the long blade in his hand!
“The Qiaos have colluded with bandits to ambush Professor Yuan!” he roared. “He deserves to be executed! Any who dares move will be treated as co-conspirators!”
Boom!
Only now did the Plenilune realize that Mu Sen was attacking him. He quickly raised a hand in defense and erupted with immense fire attributed power. But the blade arrived just as his strength billowed!
A Plenilune could not save himself from a peak Sunderer ambush at such a close distance.
Pfft!
The man’s head was pierced through and smashed to pieces. His upraised hands were likewise destroyed.
Hao Lianchuan frowned and swept an offended glance at Li Hao. All of these people had ignored him and even purposefully obstructed him! Li Hao, Yuan Shuo, Liu Long, Mu Sen...
Silver City was a tightly-knit whole that water could not seep into. They covered for each other and didn’t trust even the Night Watchers. It was plain to see that they had their secrets, but didn’t trust Hao Lianchuan with them!
Irritation built in the director’s heart, yet he snorted coldly and deployed a fire dragon. Six supernaturals stirring restlessly in the crowd were immediately burned to ashes!
Not only were the Qiao superhumans scared out of their wits when Mu Sen attacked, but so were others with ulterior motives up their sleeves. Unfortunately for them, they forgot Hao Lianchuan’s level of strength.
He couldn’t be bothered with interrogating them, so ignited his fire dragon and just burned those unstable factors to death!
The events had also enabled Li Hao to better understand Mu Sen. The inspector general was a hell of a character! He didn’t ask too much and didn’t seek to confirm his guesses. He killed whoever was slated to die. The decisiveness of a martial master was also on full display when it came to Mu Sen.
The other issue was the jade sword...
Li Hao’s thoughts turned to Stellaris. It’d absorbed a bit of the black shadow in a manner that seemed to be replenishing itself. Not only Stellaris, but so did the stone blade of the Zhangs exhibit the same behavior. When he launched a joint offensive with his teacher, both weapons seemed to have caught sight of something delicious and eagerly devoured the black shadow.
What was so special about it? The two weapons hadn’t swallowed the scarlet shadows. Did it have something to do with the ruins? Perhaps the ruins that the Qiaos had found contained resources that could replenish the weapons!
A light shone out of Li Hao’s eyes when his thoughts traveled here. He needed the energy in the sword, as did his teacher. His teacher had suffered grave injuries after deploying the Incantation of the Blade of Blood. Although he’d absorbed a tiny bit of energy, it was far from enough. Absorbing all of it may not be enough.
Who knew how much trouble they’d encounter in the days to come? He had to help his teacher recover as quickly as possible.
......
As Li Hao considered these questions, projectiles carpet-bombed the Qiao mines. One of the mountains was bombed out of existence and revealed vague hints of ruins beneath the terrain.
Liu Long raised his ax high and hacked a fleeing Sunflare to death. He promptly occupied the attention of another while the third Sunflare ran for another minor mountain. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to fight with his comrade, but that he wanted to kill the snipers hiding in the mountain.
Bullets shot at them as the Sunflares fought, forcing them to reveal their weaknesses. They needed to kill the annoying gnats with the guns first! As powerful as Sunflare defenses were, they still easily died when sniped during a battle with a Dominator.
Bam!
An artillery shell exploded next to the running Sunflare, but was adroitly evaded. Chen Jian braced a bazooka on his shoulder and fired again. His target dodged just as nimbly, demonstrating the might of a Sunflare.
The fervent light of battle glinting from her eyes, Liu Yan wielded blades in both hands. Sunflares were domineering and she was plainly no match. However, their enemy faced not just her martial master comrades, but three more supernaturals in the car.
Liu Long pummeled his opponent like he was the wave, keeping them so off balance that they couldn’t find their footing. He obviously had the upper hand. All would go well so long as he kept this one preoccupied a little while longer.
“Kill!” Liu Yan growled and rushed forward. There was an entire cultivation level gap between an initial Sunderer and initial Sunflare, but they weren’t afraid!
“You court death!” The fire supernatural she faced seemed young and glared with fury. He wasn’t of a mind to exchange blows. He just wanted to kill them as soon as possible, then go back to his comrade to eliminate Liu Long. With the happenings here, had something happened to their leader?
There was no time to consider the possibility. Fire energy erupted, meeting a tiny shield in Liu Yan, Chen Jian, and Wu Chao’s hands.
An ice crystal shield!
These objects were exceedingly fragile, but suppressed a great portion of the fire energy as soon as the two met. The force of impact shattered the shields, however. Such was the drawback of ice crystals. Otherwise, they would be kryptonite against mysterious power.
The fire supernatural didn’t mind. Ice crystals were easily broken and provided only momentary resistance. These guys would die all the same.
An explosion rang from his rear as a beam of golden light shot out. It was the Fullmoon Wang Ming, a metal supernatural!
