"What the hell is this thing? How could sothing like this exist in this world?" Wang Wenze cursed loudly as he looked at the three gigantic stones protruding from the mountain, unable to contain his shock. Today, he was truly enlightened—this thing was even bigger than the modified giant dragon he had seen before. Judging by the way the mountain continued to tremble, more than half of its body was still buried within.
"This is insane! How could there be such a monster in the mountain? But why didn’t I notice anything after living here for more than a week?" Pei Yan hovered in mid-air, equally astonished.
While Gu Shenghui was arranging for the remaining personnel in the bamboo forest to evacuate, he was also using a communicator to contact the team responsible for the assault at the front of the mountain. After receiving detailed intel on the heavy casualties suffered by the Investigation Departnt personnel, his face grew more somber, and he said angrily, "The reason you didn’t notice is because you were entirely inside the serpent’s belly. The entire mountain has been hollowed out by this giant serpent; its body transford into tunnels within the base. Now that it’s awakened, all the team mbers who went in for the assault are trapped inside its belly."
At this point, he glanced at Mr. Mu, who was running wildly along the riverside, silently cursing his ruthlessness. Not only were there mbers of the Investigation Departnt trapped within the mountain, but even more were the grassroots personnel from their own Divine Will group. He had no hesitation in abandoning all of them just to delay the Investigation Departnt’s pursuit.
"Old Gu, what should we do now?" Leng Yang surveyed the battlefield before asking.
"Chase! We can’t let them get away!" Gu Shenghui said without hesitation and imdiately turned to pursue them.
"What about the people trapped inside the mountain?" Pei Yan flew to Gu Shenghui’s side and asked anxiously, as Zhao Yuanhu was among the forward assault team.
"Don’t worry, focus on the matter at hand. We won’t abandon our comrades. The scale of this operation is bigger than you can imagine; we’re prepared for everything."
Just as Gu Shenghui finished speaking, thunder rumbled in the distance. Pei Yan turned his head and saw that the sky above the distant peaks had changed colors in the blink of an eye. Endless black clouds descended with an oppressive force, and within the flashes of lightning, several figures appeared in the clouds, guiding the lightning to strike the giant serpent trying to break through the ground. anwhile, at the foot of the mountain, several figures flashed continuously, attempting to seal the three giant serpents once again with their attacks.
Seeing this, Pei Yan’s worries slightly subsided, and he cast a fierce gaze at Mr. Mu. Thinking of the past few days of frustration, he couldn’t help but seethe with anger. With the thought of settling old and new scores together, he suddenly accelerated past Gu Shenghui, flying directly to the front of the fleeing Divine Will squad. His arms extended, revealing densely packed rocket warheads, and then he clenched his arms, firing them all in unison. But that wasn’t all; he imdiately activated his tal Storm state, unleashing a barrage of bullets infused with blue essence across the battlefield as if they were endless.
Just as Pei Yan launched his attack, a beautiful girl from Russia nad Catherine was the first to rush out from the Divine Will squad. She stretched out her arms, and the white, tender skin cracked open with rows of holes that would make anyone with trypophobia suffer. One missile after another leaped out of her body, colliding with the rockets fired by Pei Yan.
The two volleys of projectiles traced perfect arcs in the air and collided one after another, followed by a series of explosions that created a thick fog obscuring both parties’ vision, and then ca the sweeping spray of bullets through the smoke.
The successive twin attacks, although not causing substantial damage to the Divine Will squad, successfully slowed their escape. Mr. Mu watched as Gu Shenghui and others gradually closed in from a distance, sighed deeply, and with several leaps arrived before the box containing the sealed origin essence. He gently touched his ring, producing three plain talismans and an iron chain emitting a strange purple light in his hand.
Looking at these items in his hand, Mr. Mu’s heart bled, his mouth twitched uncontrollably. These trump cards, prepared for the mont when the origin essence might go berserk, had to be used so early.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the persistent pursuers from the Investigation Departnt, steeled himself, decisively slapped the three talismans onto the sealing box, wrapped the box three tis with the purple chain, and then ordered Shitang Longsi in a deep voice, "I have now completely sealed the origin essence; you no longer need to expend energy suppressing it. But rember, this effect will only last for forty-five minutes. After that, you must re-inject the origin essence to suppress it. Now take her and quickly leave the battle zone and head to the next rendezvous point, where soone will et you. We’ll hold them off here, and if anyone tries to stop you, eliminate them without rcy!"
As he spoke, he looked up at the smoke gradually clearing and saw Pei Yan revealing himself. His tone turned venomous as he said hatefully, "If that brat doesn’t get the picture, kill his sister. I want him to regret his decision today and live in guilt for the rest of his life until I personally find him and take his head."
"As you wish." Shitang Longsi didn’t say much either, smiling as he shouldered the sealing box like an arrow leaving the bow. Following closely behind him were not only the holders of the other two origin fragnts but also the Du Guangyuan trio and a Black-robed Man.
"Jiumu, Ruozai! Hold them off!" On the move, Gu Shenghui watched as the Divine Will squad split, and Shitang Longsi, carrying the sealing box, raced ahead like a lone rider. Realizing the opposing faction’s plan, he charged directly toward the defense line set up by Mr. Mu while commanding two groups to go after them.
"Rember, do not fight inside the Jiezhi Space. At this point, no more reservations—go all out and destroy!" Mr. Mu said as he spread his arms, his body hovering in the air, and unleashed a surging ntal pressure that swept across the field.
"Die, die, die!" Gu Shenghui used his hand as a pen to draw repeatedly in the void, inscribing different styles of the character for "death" in the air. Each character condensed with an ink-slling stench and clashed head-on with the opponent like a blob of heavy ink.
The two imposing attacks t silently in the air, and the death characters sent by Gu Shenghui gradually faded away until they disappeared. Just when everyone thought his attack had been neutralized, Mr. Mu took a slight step back, and two streams of nosebleed slowly trickled from his nostrils, clearly showing that he was at a disadvantage in their initial clash.
Seizing the opportunity while the two powerhouses clashed, the brothers from the Ye Family led their teams, bypassing the battlefield’s center and weaving through the edges. A few concerned mbers of Divine Will tried to intervene but were entangled by Leng Yang’s team that had caught up.
"Mumu, try to stop the guy with the box!" Ye Ruozai shouted urgently at his brother when he saw Shitang Longsi, completely ignoring Pei Yan’s fierce attempts at blocking, relentlessly sprinting to escape. He called out his brother’s pet na and issued a commanding order.
Ye Jiumu did not have ti to retort now, fully aware of his brother’s intention. He halted his rapid pace, steadied himself, and kept his gaze fixed on Shitang Longsi, ready to unleash the new ability he had gained upon his fourth awakening.
