Chapter 1357: Intercepting the Heist
Inside the underground sewer pipes beneath a manhole cover!
A four-person team raced at top speed, led by a man with a bare upper body!
He had flamboyant white hair, neatly combed back!
Muscular all over!
At Diamond Nine level, his name was Griffin!
And on Griffin's back, he carried a yellow-haired girl!
She had two pigtails, a petite figure, and her pigtails bounced with every step Griffin took!
In her hand, she held a crystal ball, which displayed the scene of the North City District!
A layer of mental energy enveloped the four-person team, preventing detection!
Griffin urged anxiously, "Are you sure the Signal Gun evacuation team got separated? Is Brother Silver rescued?"
Lilith cursed, "Obviously! Don't bother me, take a left shortcut to get ahead of them!"
"There's only this one chance!"
"I'll create an opportunity, Kelly, you and Cullen focus on the attack!"
"Griffin handles the rescue! Got it?"
As she spoke, her mental energy radiated out, connecting to the minds of the four!
Behind Griffin, there were two more!
A burly man as strong as a yak also had white hair!
Even his eyebrows and beard were white, and he patted his chest in assurance!
"Don't worry! We've planned for so long, finally got this chance. Signal Gun making a move is a godsend!"
"We have to save Brother Silver from his suffering!"
And on Cullen's shoulder, a blue-haired beauty sat calmly!
Her figure was extremely explosive, her blue hair curled into big waves, and she radiated a cold aura!
She sneered coldly, "Everyone knows how tough Signal Gun is! Let's see if they're really as strong as me!"
Lilith urged, "Right here! Get ready, retreat immediately after the snatch!"
As she spoke, her eyes fixed on the crystal ball, her mental energy compressed to the extreme, and the surrounding scenery twisted!
She radiated a terrifying aura, her mental energy suppressed to the limit!
Meanwhile, Jiangnan was leading the team, carrying Silver, when he suddenly received a spike of resentment points from the Signal Gun team!
He chuckled to himself!
Already noticed? But too late!
What's in my hands, you won't get back!
"Soul Slash!"
But just then, Katerina suddenly looked at the ground!
(º口º*) "Watch out! There's..."
Before she could finish, a near-solid wave of mental energy surged like a giant tsunami, slamming into them!
Jiangnan: !!!
Someone was hiding in the shadows, ambushing them?
And mental attacks were nearly impossible to defend against. Just as Jiangnan was about to move...
The mental energy smashed into their heads!
"Boom!"
In the next moment, Jiangnan felt like his head had exploded, his ears ringing, darkness before his eyes!
A soul-wrenching pain made blood flow from his seven orifices, and he lost all control of his body, nearly losing consciousness!
Carrying Silver, he collapsed straight toward the ground!
If even Jiangnan was this bad, Zhong Yingxue and Katerina were no better off!
The moment they were hit, their brains shut down!
Next, the ground exploded!
The white-haired brute Cullen transformed into a massive white polar bear!
Kelly on his shoulder erupted with sky-high blue flames!
Her long blue hair whipped wildly, but the flames gave off no heat—instead, they were chillingly cold!
Snowflakes began to drift from the sky!
❅*⁂(๛‾́～‾́)⁂*❅
Kelly waved her hand: "Arctic Flame!"
In an instant, a torrent of blue flames surged like ocean waves!
"Shua~" Half a block was covered in blue flames, cold air spreading!
It froze into a massive frost, and at the center, Jiangnan and the others turned into human ice sculptures!
Cullen swung his giant bear paw straight at Zhong Yingxue and Katerina!
Griffin, carrying Lilith, charged at Jiangnan!
"Mental Imprisonment!"
Lilith's crystal ball shone, her powerful mental energy binding them in place, suppressing any chance of resistance!
Griffin extended sharp wolf claws from his hand, frost forming on them!
Like a white lightning bolt, he struck straight at Jiangnan's chest!
Meanwhile, Lilith used her mental energy to pull Silver off Jiangnan's shoulder!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye!
Inside the sack, Silver, barely alive, laughed heartily, hope shining in his eyes!
(#)༎ຶᗜ༎ຶ(#) "You guys! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"
But then, from Zhong Yingxue's ice sculpture, a red flame erupted!
The frost binding her melted away, and she transformed into a blazing fire spirit, emitting intense heat!
Raising her hand toward the giant polar bear, she fired three Azure Flame Drops over 60 meters in diameter in rapid succession!
They slammed into Cullen's chest!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
His massive body was blasted away by Zhong Yingxue, crashing through a building!
Zhong Yingxue stared coldly at the blue flame figure, stomped her foot hard on the ground!
"Boom!"
An endless sea of red flames erupted from her, centered on her!
Around the flames, black wild fire burned, rising skyward as it raced toward the blue flame figure!
Kelly's pupils contracted, and she quickly raised her palm to counter, forming a blue flame wall that radiated chilling cold!
Red met blue, and with a "Boom!" both dissipated into nothing!
But Kelly screamed in surprise, her hand unknowingly ignited with unquenchable black flames!
It burned with a piercing pain!
On the other side, Griffin's frost wolf claws grabbed Jiangnan's chest!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The claws tore through flesh but were stopped by bone, sparking!
They even got chipped!
Griffin was stunned—what kind of physique was this?
Ψ(❍ฺд❍ฺlll)?
But he had still cut into Jiangnan's skin, leaving three claw marks on his chest, the wounds frozen by the cold!
Just then, a golden orb suddenly shot out, heading straight for Griffin!
Lilith's scalp tingled!
"Fall back!"
Griffin didn't hesitate, retreating swiftly, but one arm was caught by the golden orb!
Before he could pull it out, Lilith turned her mental energy into a blade and chopped off Griffin's arm right then and there!
Griffin: (ง´ﾟ_ﾟ)-ว ???
Jiangnan stared blankly at them, shaking off the frost on his body!
Countless spiritual threads sprouted from beneath his feet, forming a complex curse array 300 meters in diameter!
"Spiritual Thread Formation • Collapse Curse Array!"
The next moment, all the runes on the array burst with dazzling spiritual light, then exploded!
"Boom!"
A tremendous repulsive force erupted from the center of the array, blasting Lilith and Griffin away!
Even the buildings on both sides of the street collapsed into rubble!
Debris flew in all directions like bullets!
Within 300 meters of Jiangnan, everything was cleared, forming a huge circle!
Lilith and Griffin were thrown back, spitting blood, but they didn't look back—they carried Silver and ran!
Kelly shot a fierce glare at Zhong Yingxue, then vanished with Cullen in an instant!
It all happened so fast, within ten seconds at most!
Jiangnan touched the claw marks on his chest, looking annoyed!
(￢益￢٥) "Where the hell did these people come from?"
Decent strength, perfect teamwork, and a rare psychic ability user?
That sneak attack caught me off guard!
Zhong Yingxue looked frustrated: "Not going after them? We can still catch up!"
Jiangnan grinned, quickly smearing blood on his face!
"Chase? No need! Let them run—saves me the trouble. Once something's in my hands, it doesn't escape!"
"Besides, it's too late to chase now!"
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the distant sky. The brief battle had obviously attracted trouble!
Nearby, Katerina was thawed by Zhong Yingxue and urged anxiously!
(º口º*) "Ambush!"
Jiangnan: (≖_≖)
Can you still pick up like that? Did someone press pause on you?
They've already ambushed us!
What use is this radar of mine?
Finally acting as the mantis, only to get bitten by the snake in the shadows?
Is this what they call "what goes around comes around"?
Just then, a butterfly appeared in front of them!
Followed by Momo!
Momo's eyes burned with murderous intent, space tearing around her black wings!
꒰ঌ(●～ಠ)໒꒱εïз
"Ah ba!!!"
Her cries were mixed with rage, space split, and two massive black dragon claws emerged, slamming toward Jiangnan and the others!
In the backpack, Mila was already preparing for a time stop!
But Jiang Tianqing clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood, looking frantic!
(づ･᷄ཀ･᷅ど) "Captain Momo? What are you doing here? Quick! After them! A group just snatched Silver away!"
"They're too strong, no martial ethics, and they ambushed us! We couldn't fight them! I've failed the fallen brothers!"
Momo's dragon claws stopped mid-air, her expression even more anxious!
She clenched her fists, stomped her little feet, and screamed on the spot!
(ง●口˂̶)ง "Ah ba~ Ah ba~ Ah ba ba ba~"
Jiangnan: (•︠～•︡) ???
What is she doing?
Oh, I see! Is she trying to dance with me?
Pretty rhythmic!
Jiang Tianqing immediately mimicked Momo's moves, doing a ghost step on the spot, stepping to the beat and singing!
ヾ(ὅ⌂ὅゞ) "Oba~ Oba~ Oh ba ba ba~ Adele wesay joong ga ga~"
Katerina: (≖_≖)...
Zhong Yingxue: (ﾉ)﹏(ヾ)
What dance? This is no time for dancing, okay?
Are you trying to piss her off?
She just can't talk, right?
Momo was fuming, her figure quaking!
(ง●□˂̶)ง "Eee-ya!"
[From Momo Angel's Resentment Points +1000!]
Not only did you steal Silver, but you also mock me!
