Chapter 970: No Insurance, No Classes
It was Wu Liang, who had been hidden in stealth all along!
Now revealing himself, his purpose was to attract the attention of the Ye Xu Dragon Loach!
Without a word, Wu Liang pounded his chest and let out a roar!
"Golden Bell Cover! Damage Reflection Armor! Bear King Shield!"
One ultimate move and two spiritual techniques were thrown out at once!
Then his eyes locked onto the Ye Xu Dragon Loach!
"If you don't agree, hit me!"
A dazzling red light flashed on his body, directly using a taunt skill on all the spirit beasts present!
At this moment, the evil beasts had eyes for no one else; howling, they charged straight at Wu Liang!
Even the Ye Xu Dragon Loach couldn't escape this curse!
A spatial sphere wrapped around its body, constantly guarding against Jiangnan's displacement!
Drawn by the taunt skill, it teleported straight toward Wu Liang to kill him!
Jiangnan's body instantly appeared on Wu Liang's shoulder, patting him!
Seeing that the Ye Xu Dragon Loach hadn't used Warp Bubble, he felt greatly relieved!
Although this creature was at Star Glory Peak, Warp Bubble consumed a massive amount of spiritual energy!
It could basically use it twice, maybe three times if squeezed hard!
And earlier, when it killed Chen Dao Er, Jin Hao, and Liu Mang, it had used Warp Bubble!
The dragon loach's spiritual energy was nearly bottomed out. The fact that it used teleport instead of Warp Bubble in response to Wu Liang's taunt was ironclad proof!
During the fight, it had no chance to replenish its energy!
Although the battlefield was chaotic, every detail was clear in Jiangnan's mind. He analyzed the current situation and made the optimal response!
This was the basic quality of a field controller!
"Hmph! You think that with a spatial sphere guarding you, I can't play you anymore?"
After leaving a mark on Wu Liang, Jiangnan's body continuously teleported far away!
Eighteen times in a row, he covered over fifty thousand meters!
By then, the dragon loach had already teleported in front of Wu Liang and swung its tail without mercy!
Wu Liang gritted his steel teeth: "Savage Charge!"
If this hit landed squarely, he definitely couldn't withstand it!
At the critical moment, Spatial Displacement activated!
Wu Liang's body was instantly swapped with Jiangnan fifty thousand meters away!
But the dragon loach's tail came crashing down toward Jiangnan!
"Space Wormhole!"
The tail was sent into the wormhole, and the dragon loach's body was transferred behind Jiangnan!
Perfectly dodging the attack, the first thing the dragon loach saw through the wormhole was Wu Liang fifty thousand meters away!
Its body uncontrollably teleported toward Wu Liang to kill him!
The dragon loach was furious: "Damn it!"
Pulled far away again, the Ye Xu Dragon Loach was out of its skill range, and the realm barrier blocking the space gate disappeared!
Seizing the opportunity, Liu Mang and Xiao Mila rushed out of the space gate!
Now only Jiangnan and Wu Liang remained in the Void Sea!
But a distance of fifty thousand meters wasn't far for the Ye Xu Dragon Loach!
Its maximum teleport distance was thirty thousand meters!
Jiangnan wasted no time; he also turned around and frantically teleported toward the space gate!
Taking advantage of Wu Liang pulling aggro, he followed Liu Mang and Mila, exiting the Void Sea right on their heels!
By now, the Ye Xu Dragon Loach had reached Wu Liang and swung its tail!
Seeing Jiangnan leave the Void Sea, Wu Liang let out a long breath!
Then he closed his eyes, ready to grit his teeth and withstand the dragon loach's attack!
Outside the Void Sea, Jiangnan took a deep breath: "Spatial Displacement!"
Wu Liang was puzzled; no pain came. He opened his eyes!
He found himself already outside the Void Sea!
"Brother Nan! Damn!"
Clearly, at the last moment, Jiangnan used displacement to swap him out!
But he himself went in to take that tail strike from the dragon loach!
Just swapped into the Void Sea, Jiangnan felt a fierce wind coming: "Wor—"
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, Jiangnan was sent flying by the tail, spinning at high speed in the air, covering several thousand meters!
His ears rang incessantly!
But the Ye Xu Dragon Loach didn't press the attack; instead, it returned directly to the space gate!
It used a Dimensional Cut to seal the gate again!
Jiangnan barely managed to stand; his Glazed Armor helmet was shattered, his face dripping with blood!
He spat out a mouthful of blood foam, which contained three white broken teeth!
He grinned: "Now! It's just you and me!"
The dragon loach squinted: "You're not that old bastard! I've never seen you use spatial spheres or Dimensional Cut!"
"And Jiangnan took the ghost face's spirit bead. You're Jiangnan?"
Jiangnan waved his hand grandly!
(◞･᷅口･᷄) "No! I'm Li Mingshan! The Spatial Dao Heaven of Huaxia! Who is Jiangnan? I don't know him at all!"
As soon as he finished, his appearance changed back to his own. The Little Pudding's time had run out!
The dragon loach's eyes widened: "You're still lying? You've been exposed, you know?"
Jiangnan's expression stiffened!
(乛～乛٥) "Heh~ You noticed? Then there's no need to hide it anymore. I'll come clean!"
"I'm Jiangbei! Jiangnan's younger brother! You killed my brother, and I, Jiangbei, swear to avenge him!"
The Ye Xu Dragon Loach's face darkened!
Screw your Jiangbei! Do you think I'm stupid? You refuse to use your own identity, right?
Wasn't Jiangnan dead? He saw it himself, but how is this guy still alive?
"I don't care if you're East, West, South, or North! You used displacement to steal the Silver Ring, right?"
"Hand it over, and I'll let you out. Otherwise, you'll die here. No one can save you now!"
Jiangnan spread his hands: ʅ(･´ٹ･｀)ʃ
"Hey~ You want to kill me? The Silver Ring is in my Alternate Dimension. If I die, no one can open the Alternate Dimension!"
The Ye Xu Dragon Loach ground its teeth: "Tsk~ How can you be so annoying! All of you, attack!"
"Let's see what tricks he can pull today!"
A group of evil beasts charged at Jiangnan with fierce expressions, while the Ye Xu Dragon Loach stayed by the space gate!
It silently recovered its spiritual power!
As long as I don't open the gate, you can't get out. The Silver Ring will be mine sooner or later!
Once my spiritual power is fully restored, I'll make you kneel and beg me to kill you!
Jiangnan turned and ran, staring fixedly at the space gate!
He needed to find a way to break the dimensional wall and get out; otherwise, these evil beasts would eventually kill him!
But the Ye Xu Dragon Loach had been tricked several times and wasn't easy to fool anymore!
This was troublesome. Nephew Big Thunder, hurry up!
...
Outside the Void Sea, Zhong Yingxue and the others were hidden, staying out of sight!
They hid to prevent the evil beasts from catching them as leverage!
Now they were extremely worried, because only Jiangnan was left in the Void Sea, and the space gate was blocked!
He had to face so many evil beasts alone, and Mila wasn't by his side!
If he got hit by a Warp Bubble, he would really die!
Wu Liang paced anxiously: "That wasn't in the plan!"
"He got us all out safely, but Brother Nan never mentioned how he would get out himself!"
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao were so worried their palms were sweating, but Zi Yuan remained calm!
"Don't worry! Jiangnan won't die in the Void Sea. He can come out safely. I said so!"
Mila quickly asked: "Sister Zi Yuan dreamed it? Really?"
Zi Yuan smiled bitterly: "Sort of. I'll explain later!"
Zhang San suddenly said: "Finally got a signal!"
He directly called the outpost base headquarters via satellite phone!
"Hello? This is Zhang San! Are you busy? I need to take a moment of your time. We need you to come over here..."
Wang Dalei: "Zhang San? Who's that? I don't know you. I'm not buying insurance, not buying health products, not signing my kid up for classes!"
"Dare to call the military to sell? You've got guts! Get lost!"
"Beep beep beep~"
Zhang San: (‖•︠ࡇ•︡)ᕤ?
He hung up on me? I'm in a hurry here!
I'm your most capable subordinate, a Dragon Abyss elite!
How could he forget me? Do I look like a salesman?
At that moment, in the outpost base command center, Wang Dalei hung up the phone angrily!
"Crazy! Zhang San? Who's he trying to fool? Not even putting effort into his sales pitch!"
"Continue! What's the matter?"
A Dragon Abyss soldier urgently reported: "Outpost 056 reported that the space gate in the Void Sea opened at 10 AM, and then we found an anomaly on the satellite image!"
Wang Dalei's heart leaped: "What anomaly? Jiangnan and the others have been in there for half a month, right?"
"Well? Did the satellite images show them coming out?"
The Dragon Abyss soldier twitched his mouth: "This is the satellite image. See for yourself!"
Wang Dalei squinted at the satellite image. On the originally barren weathered shale plain, a patch of green suddenly appeared!
"What the hell is this green patch?"
The Dragon Abyss soldier swallowed: "Personnel at 056 say it might be a floating island, which suddenly appeared this morning. It's been there for a while."
Wang Dalei was stunned. A floating island? What the hell?
How could such a large floating island appear out of nowhere?
Just then, the phone rang again. Interrupted, Wang Dalei was furious!
"Hello? Who? Not buying! Get lost!"
But from the other end came Zi Yuan's scolding voice!
"Wang Dalei, you've got guts, huh? You dare to curse at me?"
"You dare to hang up on a rescue call? Hurry up and come help! If you don't come, I'm dead! Get moving!"
Hearing it was Zi Yuan's voice, Wang Dalei's eyes lit up, and then sweat broke out on his forehead!
He vaguely recalled that he did have a capable subordinate named Zhang San!
Wasn't he on a mission with Jiangnan and the others?
That was a distress call just now? Not a drug sales pitch?
"You guys are out? Where are you? At the Void Sea entrance?"
"That island in the satellite image—what's that about?"
Zi Yuan said urgently: "Why do you have so many questions? We're out, but not completely out!"
"Jiangnan is trapped in the Void Sea, being ganged up on by a group of Star Glory and Diamond spirit beasts!"
"That floating island is a trophy Jiangnan brought out. Hurry up and come support!"
Wang Dalei's head buzzed after hearing this. The entire operations command room fell into a long silence!
"Jiangnan brought back an island from the Void Sea?"
Wang Dalei's voice rose an octave!
And the soldiers in the command room were stunned too—surrounded by a group of Diamond and Star Glory spirit beasts in the Void Sea?
Nan Shen is only Platinum rank, right?
What kind of heinous crime did he commit? Did he steal their island or something?
"Tell him to hold on! I'm on my way!"
Wang Dalei's heart was immensely excited. How many surprises would Uncle Jiang bring him?
He dashed out of the command room in one step, his whole body flashing with dazzling lightning!
With a loud "boom," Wang Dalei turned into a bolt of blue lightning, streaking across the sky toward the Void Sea entrance!
