Chapter 1385: Tough! (Bonus Update)
The sandbag Yin, kicked by Jiang Tianqing, landed like a small rocket right in the middle of the five thousand Signal Gun warriors!
Yin's five teammates raised their heads to watch him fly through the air...
"Boom!"
Yin had barely hit the ground before he shot upright.
(๑)¯ิٹ¯ิ(#) "Hmph! Hitting me? Brothers, don't be afraid! I've already worn down Luo Tianqing to near exhaustion!"
"She's got less than ten percent of her strength left. With so many of us, we can definitely beat her so bad her own mother wouldn't recognize her!"
"I'm going in with you all. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend..."
Before he could finish, he realized the five thousand Signal Gun soldiers had surrounded him, all with red eyes!
ʕ•̫͡•ʕ*̫͡*ʕ•͓͡•ʔ-̫͡-ʕ•̫͡•ʔ*̫͡*ʔ-̫͡-ʔ
"Whether we can make Luo Tianqing unrecognizable to her mother, I don't know, but we can definitely do that to you!"
"Thinking back, so many brothers died to fish this brat out. Just looking at him pisses me off!"
"Beat him up and be done with it. You pay for our brothers' lives!"
In an instant, the Signal Guns formed a circle around Yin and unleashed a furious barrage of attacks, utterly brutalizing him!
Yin: ୧(#)꒪꒫꒪(#)୨ ???
Why are they beating me again?
Shouldn't they be going after Luo Tianqing?
With so many people ganging up on him, even if Yin had three heads and six arms, he couldn't handle it!
"Stop hitting! Friends! We're all friends! No need for this!"
At that moment, Yin's teammates panicked too, scrambling to their feet and charging recklessly toward him!
In the blink of an eye, they reached the very center of the crowd!
Yin's eyes brimmed with the light of hope, tears welling up, moved beyond words!
(#)༎ຶД༎ຶ(#) "You guys are the best! Even in such a tough spot, you choose to stand with me? No words can express..."
"Bai Lian, heal me quick... Pfft *wha*!"
Bai Lian rushed over and started stomping viciously on Yin's face!
(ꐦ⌒～⌒) "Die! Die! Die!"
The other teammates didn't hold back either, kicking and punching Yin even harder than the Signal Guns!
"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, would I be bald? Beat you to death!"
"You pathetic loser! If it weren't for you, would I have been knocked unconscious a dozen times by four bears? Liver Explosion Fist! Aaah *da*!"
The relentless rain of blows left Yin completely dazed!
I thought once I entered the Lingxu, I'd finally get back on my feet!
Who would have thought I'd still be getting beaten up here?!
Did I step out without checking the almanac or what?
"Stop! If you hit me any more, I'm done for! I'm still your captain!"
Bai Lian hastily added a few more kicks before flicking her wrist!
"Demon-Exorcising Lotus!"
If she wasn't mistaken, Yin had been hit with a taunt effect!
Black lotuses bloomed above everyone's heads, but Bai Lian's power could at most manifest ten of them!
Only then did Yin's teammates calm down, forming a protective ring around him in the center!
Yin struggled to pick himself up off the ground!
O(#)ཀ益ཀ(#)O "This debt of gratitude, Yin will never forget. I swear I'll lead you all out of the Oracle Lingxu alive!"
Bai Lian smiled wryly. (⌒_⌒;) "Don't jinx it with those flags. First, figure out how you're going to survive this wave!"
The effect of the Demon-Exorcising Lotus was limited—it only shielded his teammates, but they still had to face five thousand Signal Gun warriors!
Yin's expression hardened as he looked at Lilith's imposing back!
"Snow!"
Without needing Yin to spell it out, everyone understood. Bitter smiles spread across their faces.
Soon, at the center of the Signal Gun formation, five dazzling beams of light erupted...
Jiang Tianqing didn't even spare a glance, a faint smile curling at the corner of her mouth.
Oh? Forced into a corner, taking the Great Strength Snow Dust? Pretty clever, huh?
With the strength of Yin's team, they could hold off five thousand Signal Gun soldiers for a while, at least enough to share the pressure and keep her from being focused on.
Hart's eyes remained fixed on Jiang Tianqing.
"Sorry. By order of Lady Snow, I'm here to retrieve the Star Ring fragment."
"Are you handing it over or not?"
Jiangnan pulled out a piece of durian pulp, took a bite, and felt his spiritual power surge wildly. Then he spread his hands.
╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "Then there's nothing to talk about!"
"Boom!"
Before Jiangnan could make a move, Mo Mo had already acted.
The glazed curse marks on her body flared with brilliant light!
The space around them tore open into two hundred-meter fissures!
Two enormous black dragon claws emerged from the dimensional cracks!
The left claw grabbed at empty air and instantly trapped Mila inside!
It cast a Space Imprisonment!
Mila reacted swiftly, releasing her Time Stop Domain in an instant to avoid harm.
But she was still trapped in the dragon's claw!
The other claw seized Lan, binding her directly.
Teleportation was useless—the level gap was far too great!
The squeezing force from the surrounding space made Lan's little face turn red.
Mo Mo only controlled the black dragon claws to hold them, making no further move to harm them.
Partly on Lady Snow's orders, and partly because Mo Mo herself didn't want to hurt children.
Katerina was closest and just about to rush in to help.
But space split open again above the claw!
A massive black dragon head emerged from the dimensional gap!
Its scales were covered in crisscrossing scars, exuding a fierce aura!
Its glazed eyes burned with murderous intent. Opening its bloody maw, it unleashed a breath straight at Katerina!
Countless spatial blades shot from its mouth, forming a space storm capable of tearing everything apart!
The storm raged toward Katerina!
Katerina didn't dare charge any further. She retreated swiftly, barely dodging the impact of the space storm!
Her face was pale!
The enormous dragon head glared coldly at the group—a clear warning meant to keep everyone away.
Jiang Tianqing's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the massive black dragon.
Hart slowly drew two Spirit-Binding Steel rods (the kind with spirit-material handles).
An orange glow radiated from his body, emitting an astonishing heat that melted the ground into magma!
"Stop staring. Without your time and space systems backing you up, you're just a Diamond-rank Power-type."
"This fight won't last more than three minutes. It should make you face reality."
"Don't worry. I'll try not to kill you. Though I'm not sure if you can take it."
Jiang Tianqing licked her crimson lips.
"Since you're so confident, let's give it a try. Everyone, battle ready!"
"Boom!"
Wu Liang charged forward before Jiang Tianqing even finished speaking!
"Rage, Damage Reflection Armor, Bear King Shield, Savage Charge, Golden Bell Cover!"
The tank Wu Liang stacked a pile of buffs on himself!
He planted both Bear King Shields in front of him!
"Come at me if you dare!"
In an instant, he pulled all aggro. Hart took a step forward, unleashing his Thermonuclear Domain. An orange light burst forth!
Everything within range seemed to boil!
The moment the orange light touched the Bear King Shields, both shields shattered!
Hart's steel rod swung down right after!
"Boom!"
The red-hot steel rod slammed heavily into Wu Liang's chest!
The Indestructible Golden Body was smashed apart instantly, and Wu Liang's chest caved in!
Wu Liang felt as if his internal organs were boiling! The blood he spat out was steaming hot. Like a cannonball, he blasted away!
Wu Liang, with all his buffs active, couldn't even withstand a single blow!
After all, Hart was at Starlight Eight!
As Wu Liang flew off, Zhong Yingxue's Nine-Headed Phoenix Flame had already taken form!
A three-hundred-meter fireball crashed through the amplification spell array, expanding to nearly a kilometer in size—like a falling sun heading straight for Hart!
The moment it entered the nuclear domain, the fireball swelled even larger, surpassing a kilometer!
But Hart remained expressionless, raising a hand and grabbing at the fireball!
An orange radiance shot into the fireball!
It was as if the fireball had been reignited, expanding wildly to three kilometers!
It radiated an unbearable heat like a red giant, melting the entire snowfield into rivers of magma!
Zhong Yingxue's face turned pale. "I've lost control of the fireball!"
Hart's lips curled. "Let me show you what it's like to get hit by your own attack!"
With that, he dragged the fireball and slammed it down toward Jiang Tianqing!
Jiang Tianqing: !!!
Countless spiritual threads gathered before her, weaving into nine perfect circular spell arrays stacked one on another!
She tried to block the explosive force of the fireball!
"Boom!"
A deafening blast, like a divine sun striking the earth! The ground roared and trembled!
Jiang Tianqing's body was utterly swallowed by the blaze!
At that moment, a silver figure cloaked in flames shot through the Thermonuclear Domain at incredible speed!
It was Xia Yao, using Nine Star Flash, draped in Zhong Yingxue's Flame Cloak to shield her from the domain's assault!
Hart's ability was far too troublesome—the only chance was to seal his skill!
But the deeper she went into the Thermonuclear Domain, the more intense the boiling became!
Zhong Yingxue in her flame form could hold up, but Xia Yao had turned bright red—like a boiled shrimp—her body going limp, dropping to one knee!
The compressed Polar Day Vortex only covered three meters around her!
Within the Thermonuclear Domain's range, she couldn't even get within a hundred meters of Hart!
The space in front of her suddenly tore open, and a black wing shot out!
It swept viciously across Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao!
"Boom!"
Both of them were knocked away, tumbling into the flames!
Xia Yao's Glazed Armor was slashed open, and wounds from spatial blades covered her body, blood seeping out, deep enough to see bone!
The flames dispersed!
The original two-kilometer-wide crater had expanded further!
Now the pit was filled with boiling magma, white steam rising!
Jiang Tianqing stood motionless, only the ground behind her untouched!
She held one arm forward, her sleeve burned to ash.
Her arm was a bloody mess, covered in severe burns; even the white jade-like bones were visible at her palm!
Hart looked at Jiang Tianqing in surprise, seemingly astonished that losing just one arm was enough to block his attack?
Mo Mo stood beside Hart, spirit butterflies fluttering around her!
Zhong Yingxue's expression was grim. Xia Yao collapsed, spitting mouthfuls of steaming hot blood!
Katerina was pale, despair in her eyes!
It was over! This time, truly over!
Just Hart alone at Starlight Eight was already this strong—they couldn't even get close!
And Mo Mo, the summoner, was right beside him?
This combination was simply unstoppable!
A team this powerful had taken heavy damage the moment they clashed!
How were they supposed to fight this?
Jiang Tianqing's lips curled into a smile. The wounds on her arm healed rapidly, restoring completely in less than a second!
Mo Mo's eyes widened in shock!
Without a healer, how did she recover so fast?
Jiang Tianqing rolled her neck, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
"Forget it. No more pretending."
"You two get ready. I'm bringing out the big guns!"
"Boom!"
A surge of dense spatial power exploded from the center of Jiang Tianqing!
The World's Strongest Diamond—Jiangnan!
