Above the ruins of the West Gate, a fierce wind howled past, carrying the acrid sll of gunpowder.
He Tianping stood there quietly.
He was thin and frail, and his large black kimono fluttered in the wind, with the empty left sleeve swinging in the breeze.
However, this seemingly frail, one-ard old man weighed heavily on everyone's hearts like an insurmountable mountain.
Those civilians who had just climbed the ruined city walls and were about to step into the wilderness and gain their freedom saw Hotan Pingshan blocking their way, and their legs went weak, unable to take another step.
Those eyes that had once held hope were now filled with fear and despair.
Wada Hirayama slowly raised his eyes.
There was no emotion in those cloudy old eyes; they looked at them like pigs or sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
He looked down at the dense, surging crowd below, and his aged lips parted slightly.
"Let's go back."
Just three simple words.
The sound was not loud; there was no screaming or roaring.
But it opened up a bottomless abyss in front of everyone.
One more step forward and you'll be shattered to pieces.
At the forefront of the crowd, several agents from the Great Xia Kingdom exchanged glances, each seeing the resolute determination in the other's eyes.
Don't listen to him!
"Charge! If we can get through, then we'll..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Wada Hirayama's withered right hand slowly rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Zheng—"
A clear, resonant sound of a blade ringing out.
No one even saw how he drew his sword.
I felt a chilling light flash before my eyes, ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) as if it had split the dim world in two.
Then, he casually swung his sword and sheathed it.
The movents were executed in one fluid motion, at an extre speed.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
100 ters away.
The voices of the Great Xia Kingdom agents who were shouting and trying to organize a breakout suddenly stopped.
Their bodies froze on the spot, and then, in full view of everyone, their bodies instantly tore into pieces.
Blood gushed out, staining the ruins beneath their feet red.
Even on the solid concrete wall, there was a terrifying knife mark that was bottomless and tens of ters long.
quiet.
The surroundings were completely silent.
The previously noisy crowd imdiately fell silent.
Everyone was stunned by the power of Wada Hirayama's sword strike, their minds going blank.
"Plop..."
Soone swallowed hard, the sound clearly audible in the silence.
Instinctively, the crowd began to back away.
One step, two steps.
As long as that old man stands here, what lies ahead is a forbidden zone, the end of life.
...
Inside the temporary underground command center.
The atmosphere was extrely oppressive.
A trembling, desperate voice ca through the communicator: "Team...team leader, there's no other way..."
"That's Wada Hirayama... an SS-rank powerhouse..."
"Brothers...brothers, we couldn't even withstand a single move from him..."
"What do we do next? Team Leader Tang, are we... all going to die here?"
Tang Qi gripped the communicator tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
He steadied himself and forced his voice to sound calm: "Don't panic! It's not ti to despair yet!"
"On my orders, everyone else, imdiately blend into the civilian population and do not reveal your identities!"
"Preserve our strength and await reinforcents!"
There was a mont of silence on the other end of the communicator, followed by a bitter laugh.
"support?"
"Team leader...do we have any more backup?"
"Faced with an SS-level expert... unless the marshal himself arrives, it's useless no matter who cos..."
A sense of despair spread through the communication channels.
Tang Qi gritted his teeth, his eyes resolute.
"have!"
"The God of Change tells that reinforcents will arrive soon!"
"Moreover... our support this ti is very strong!"
"Powerful?" The team mber on the other end gave a wry smile. "How powerful can it be? Are we going to see another SS-rank character?"
Just then.
"Bang!"
The door to the next room was suddenly kicked open with a bang.
Maeda Hanae ran in excitedly, her usually icy face flushed red with excitent.
"Tang Qi! He's here!"
"Teleportation array! The teleportation array is starting to respond!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi was startled and jumped up from his chair.
"Walk!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly followed Maeda Hanae towards the room where the teleportation array was located.
As soon as I entered.
A terrifying spatial fluctuation rushed towards us.
In the center of the room, the teleportation array, which had been dim and lifeless, was now bursting with dazzling light.
The violent energy fluctuations caused the surrounding air to distort and tremble.
"Buzz—!!!"
It was accompanied by a low hum.
A series of blinding white lights flashed by.
Tang Qi subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes.
As the light dimd slightly, he hurriedly opened his eyes to look.
In the center of the teleportation array, several figures stood tall.
The leader was dressed in a star-and-moon robe and held a staff.
It was Gandalf, the SS-rank forbidden spellcaster he had seen on television!
Tang Qi was overjoyed: "Lord Gandalf! That's wonderful! With him here, at least we can hold off Hetian Hirayama!"
However.
The next second.
His gaze fell on the figures behind Gandalf, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
To Gandalf's left.
A man dressed in a black cloak, carrying a long sword, with black hair obscuring his eyes, had faint arcs of lightning flickering around him, exuding an extrely sharp and ruthless aura.
on the right.
A burly man clad in heavy armor and wielding a giant shield stood like an iron tower, his imposing presence so overwhelming that it made it hard to breathe just by looking at him.
Further on.
A man with delicate and handso features, dressed in a black aristocratic suit, was elegantly adjusting his cuffs, and the shadow beneath his feet seed to writhe as if it were alive.
There was also a man carrying an ancient longbow on his back, his eyes wary, looking around.
And at the very back.
A man dressed in a pure white holy robe, with six faint phantom wings of light appearing behind him, exuding an aura of holiness and inviolability, was resting with his eyes closed.
Tang Qi's eyes widened in surprise.
My heart almost jumped out of my throat.
"This...this..."
He opened his mouth wide, but couldn't utter a sound.
The sheer power emanating from these few individuals, unintentionally, combined to create a suffocating shock in this seasoned intelligence chief.
SS-rank!
They're all SS-rank!
He originally thought that the "powerful support" ntioned by the God of Change might be Lord Gandalf.
After all, SS-level experts aren't as common as cabbages; it's already a blessing if even one shows up.
result......
Gandalf did indeed co.
Behind him were five equally terrifying SS-rank individuals!
Including Gandalf, there are six in total!
