The scorching torrent of iron flowed like a tide, subrging half of the Jiezhi Space. The mbers of the Upper Star Squad were like a lone boat in the ferocious torrent, barely holding on with wooden walls conjured one after another by Jiang Feiyang.
Liang Guangsheng was no longer just angry; he was insane!
"Isn't it ti yet? Is Pei Yan still not ready?" Qi Hua, whose abilities had been entirely countered by the enemy, could only hide among the crowd, carrying the slowly awakening Xue Buli, occasionally hurling a few blades in futile resistance.
Ye Jiumu bit his lip as he stared at the distant Liang Guangsheng, who was unleashing his powers: "Just wait a bit longer, he's almost at his breaking point!"
"How can you tell? He's still full of energy! It's us who are nearing our breaking point! Wait any longer, and the whole squad will be cooked alive!" Kong Lin looked anxiously at the wooden walls before him, burning and collapsing one after another.
"Shut up!" Typically the most complainant, Jiang Feiyang uncharacteristically shot a calm, sidelong glance at Kong Lin, commanding in a low voice. Recognizing the real anger in his leader's eyes, Kong Lin obediently closed his mouth.
"Jiumu is right. Haven't you noticed sothing strange about the enemy? Look, his wounds haven't healed since he entered. Normally, as a Tier Six Awakened, we should have suffered casualties by now!" Shangxing's words were a shot of adrenaline, rekindling their desire for victory. The team rallied again, fighting back under Liang Guangsheng's fierce assault.
At the other end of the battlefield, Liang Guangsheng wasn't faring well either. He was both angry and anxious. Ever since entering this space, his internal energy had been recovering at an unusually slow rate. Initially, he didn't notice, but as his energy reserves depleted, the fatigue beca increasingly evident. What once flowed into his body like a mighty river was now blocked by an invisible dam, reduced to a trickle.
Seeing the opposing squad full of vigor, Liang Guangsheng knew he had been outmaneuvered! But he couldn't figure out how they had done it. Nonetheless, he didn't have ti to dwell on it! As long as he killed them all, everything would return to normal!
"Mimicry, bestow life!" With this thought, Liang Guangsheng summoned the remaining internal energy within him, shouting loudly. Two giant swords materialized out of thin air, and over a hundred iron wolves shook off the iron water from their bodies, roaring as they charged towards the precarious defense line of Shangxing and his team.
Just as the giant swords were about to form, Liang Guangsheng shuddered, and his internal energy finally gave out, causing one of the swords to lose control and fall limply.
"Heaven and Earth, Jiumu!" Shangxing roared, his figure swelling once more. He punched the descending sword aside, his towering form standing in front of everyone, swatting away iron wolves with the palm of his hands.
"Reflection of Flowers in a Mirror!" Behind Shangxing, a gigantic photo spread out, and the figures of Xia Yu, Liang Qian, and Xue Buli disappeared into the photo.
In an instant, a flash of light erupted not far behind Liang Guangsheng, and Xia Yu and Xue Buli suddenly appeared!
"Looking for death!" Liang Guangsheng roared angrily, his body hunched as he summoned internal energy, a row of spikes shot up from the ground towards the two.
"Every Blade of Grass a Soldier!" Xue Buli, on the brink of exhaustion, shouted, forming a massive three-ter-tall Treeman that burst from the ground, spreading its arms to withstand all the spike attacks.
"Gravity!" Xia Yu placed one hand on the Treeman and raised the other hand to aim at Liang Guangsheng. Her Tier Three Awakened ability had always been her Achilles' heel. Despite having been at this tier for so ti, she still hadn't mastered it fully, often making a fool of herself during training!
This was her first ti using her new ability in actual combat. Anxious and uncertain, she prayed fervently for success!
Heaven seed moved by her sincerity; Liang Guangsheng's towering steel fra began to shudder uncontrollably. Realizing sothing was amiss, he extended several iron spikes into the ground to stabilize himself, struggling against the strange gravity while using his fingertips to redirect another sword originally aid at Shangxing and others towards his rear.
"Uh... ahh!" Xia Yu channelled all her internal energy, veins bulging on her face, her eyes bloodshot. One by one, the iron spikes used to anchor Liang Guangsheng's body snapped with creaks until finally, with the last three spikes breaking simultaneously with a loud bang, his body was drawn straight toward the Treeman with a crash.
Upon contact, the Treeman sprouted countless vines, binding Liang Guangsheng firmly to it.
"Now's the ti!" An exhausted Xia Yu scooped up the pale-faced Xue Buli and dashed out with a few quick strides.
"You think you can escape so easily?" Trapped and montarily unable to break free, Liang Guangsheng roared in fury, his right hand raised, conjuring a row of spikes out of thin air, only to be interrupted by a voice.
"Liang Guangsheng!"
Liang Guangsheng turned towards the voice, seeing Pei Yan, transford into a gigantic cannon platform, descending from the sky in a blaze of light!
"Is this your plan? Did you disappear only to get this thing? Foolish, your power is useless against !" Having been repeatedly outmaneuvered, Liang Guangsheng bristled with blades, piercing the Treeman that held him captive and freeing his arms to point and roar at Pei Yan.
"Then let's test it!"
Boom! The deafening sound of the cannon blast echoed, the shockwave carving a deep furrow through the iron stream. Any iron wolves in its path were flung skyward, and the deafening sonic boom ca so suddenly that Liang Guangsheng couldn't react; blood dripped from his ears as the cannonball arrived before him!
"Ugh!" He spat a mouthful of blood! Liang Guangsheng could no longer care about his deafened ears, as he stared at the warped and deford cannonball hovering ten ters in front of him, truly feeling the fear of death!
Focusing all his internal energy into his ticulous object control defense, he barely withstood the cannonball's impact, yet the powerful shockwave still shook his internal organs out of place, inflicting fresh injuries on top of old ones!
Looking up, he saw the wide barrel in front of Pei Yan glowing blue once more! Refusing to accept fate, Liang Guangsheng defiantly raised his head and bellowed to the sky: "Iron Wall!"
Thud! Thud! Thud! Walls of iron rose from the ground, blocking Liang Guangsheng's front!
Boom!
One by one, the iron walls were pierced and deford. When the last wall was punctured, the cannonball was at the end of its montum, half its body wedged into the iron wall, with the deford muzzle grazing Liang Guangsheng's nose.
"Possession! Co on again!" Driven mad, Liang Guangsheng shouted, completely breaking free of the Treeman's restraints! The shattered iron wall transford into a stream of iron, rging into his body and raising his figure once again.
Boom!
