Chapter 372
Upon hearing this voice, everyone except Bai Ze among those with divine desires turned to look. A silhouette slowly erged from the darkness, clapping hands as the dimly lit entertainnt room hall was suddenly illuminated. Under the shaky lights and the broken ceiling and walls, a man in dostic combat attire appeared behind the people with divine desires, smiling.
His appearance startled Lawrence and the others. Was he another person skilled at hiding his presence? The woman before was one, and now there’s another. When did he infiltrate without anyone noticing?
The investigation team’s side appeared much calr. Shangxing turned his head, his gaze passing through the people with divine desires to look at Zheng Jia Ru. Seeing the other party nodding at him, he breathed a long sigh of relief. They finally made it in ti.
"So today, it’s really a fight to the death, huh?" Bai Ze said, and the people gathered around him instinctively spread out, ready for battle.
Standing behind Shangxing, Pei Yan tilted his head and asked, "If you surrender, you can avoid this situation, but I hardly see that happening. So before the fight starts, I want to ask one last question: Is Zhu Yuping still alive?"
"Alive. The one who really wants to capture Du Guangyuan is very interested in the child in her belly, but if it were , I’d rather die than fall into that person’s hands." Next to Bai Ze, Lawrence murmured as if recalling sothing terrifying.
"So the person you’re referring to is Little Vlad’s father? Is he from a different dinsion? Did you guys cause the incident in Jiayuan District?" Pei Yan suddenly fired off questions like a machine gun.
"Enough with the nonsense! Let’s fight early! Kill them while that woman hasn’t recovered and get out!" Unable to hold back any longer, the impetuous Bals roared and leaped out of the crowd, charging towards the still weak Zhao Yuanhu.
As his body jumped halfway, a large stick swept across, aiming at Bals’ body. A battle-hardened Bals knew the stick’s weight from the sound and force of its approach. While feeling disdain, he lowered his body, gathering strength in his arms to block it, but just as the stick was about to make contact, he felt an overwhelming force at the stick’s tip, followed by the sound of bones breaking. His body flew back, slamd out.
"Shang Team, with that stick, you’re looking more and more like Sun Wukong." Zhao Yuanhu, regulating his breath, looked at this scene, tilted his head, and smiled at Shangxing. After Pei Yan’s source conversion, Shangxing successfully broke through to the fifth awakening, and the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand was a new ability ford from his fifth awakening source.
Shangxing chuckled at these words, jokingly said, "Don’t call Shang Team, I’m no longer the captain. Call Great Sage Equal to Heaven!" Before he finished speaking, he roared, wielding his stick, leaping into the air as the long stick grew larger, cutting through the ceiling, smashing down towards the crowd.
Before Shangxing’s massive stick fell, Lawrence beside Bai Ze turned to stand in front of Bai Ze, spreading his hands, softly chanting. The surrounding air was frozen with chilling cold, and a giant iceberg instantly ford and kept extending, soon filling half the entertainnt hall, breaking open the ceiling, bursting the walls. People around jumped away to find targets, turning the entire entertainnt center into chaos.
"Leave Pei Yan to !"
"Shitang Longsi is mine!"
The two who had never taken their eyes off each other since eting shouted, charging out of the crowd, colliding, and yet before they could engage, a massive tremor from the side forced them to jump apart. Shangxing’s stick, with heaven-destroying might, ca crashing down, shattering the iceberg in its path, heavily slamming into the ground.
Leaving a deep mark on the ground followed by a massive quake, the roaring Bals charged through the flying ice chips, coming once more, only to be sent flying back again. Sumr’s graceful form crouched on the enlarged Golden Cudgel, flicking her hand with a dismissive smile.
As Director Li, who thought he was ntally prepared, saw a squad of special police infiltrating the district, he realized he had underestimated the seriousness of the incident. But when he saw an official in a robe, after the operation started, raising substantial fog walls one by one around the shantytown area, he was completely dumbfounded. This was beyond his comprehension.
This was definitely not an ordinary malicious incident. Could it be a legendary battle of cultivators? Just as he was lost in thought, the ground tremors like an earthquake shook him out of his reverie. Earthquake? This thought flashed through Director Li’s mind as he lay prone on the ground, then he dismissed it. There couldn’t be such a coincidence. Sothing must have happened behind this fog wall. But what kind of battle could cause such a small-scale earthquake!
Because of this earthquake, the previously peaceful district suddenly beca chaotic. Children’s cries mingled with won’s screams, household lights flickered on one after another, many people looking out the windows to check the situation, with so already rushing out of the corridors in shorts and slippers.
Seeing this, Director Li glanced around in bewildernt, not knowing what to do, when he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder. Turning his head, a military officer in uniform stood there, judging by his epaulets, a colonel. Scared and a bit dazed, Director Li saluted, though not very standard.
The major returned the salute and instructed, "The situation here is critical right now. You, being familiar with the area, need to organize the local residents for an orderly evacuation. Outside the district, there are large buses waiting to take them to a safe temporary shelter. Rember to quickly evacuate and conduct good public relations. As for the reason?" The major glanced at the fog wall behind him and sighed, "Just say there’s an earthquake here, and due to concerns about stronger aftershocks, an enforced evacuation is necessary."
"Yes, yes!" Director Li stamred in response and started to walk away, took a few steps, then stopped, turning back with so thought. Gathering his courage, he asked, "Comrade, can I ask what’s really happening inside?"
The major paused, gave a bitter smile, and shook his head. "Although I don’t want to say this, just like in the movie lines, if it’s ant for you to know, you’ll naturally know. What’s not ant for you, never ask." He then looked at the other party’s disappointed, puzzled gaze, patted his shoulder and consoled him, "Just think of it as testing a new type of national weapon inside. As for public statents, soone will specifically brief you later. I hope you adhere to the discipline and don’t spread information mindlessly, understand?"
Director Li nodded with difficulty, refrained from speaking further, and turned away, shouting for his police station officers to cooperate with the special police present to evacuate residents door-to-door. As he left, he couldn’t help but glance back at the fog wall, which seed to have grown thicker and taller in this brief ti.
Oh, it’s easy for him not to speak, but the residents here aren’t blind. How could this scene be hidden from other eyes? With this thought, Director Li shook his head helplessly and plunged into the tasks he needed to do.
