Chapter 586 - 472: Human Race Legends: The First Batch of Elemental Energy Awakeners

Just as he was thinking, a respectful voice sounded in his ear.

"Master!"

The speaker was, of course, Yi Qinglian.

After all, neither Fang Tangtang nor Gao Xiaomeng had a master.

’Master?’ Gao Neng thought, looking at the woman beside Wuxin.

She was an exquisitely beautiful woman in a long, golden-threaded gown. Her entire being radiated a sacred, bright aura, and a pure gold crown rested upon her head.

Her age was impossible to tell.

But there was something peculiar about her eyes.

Her eyes were white.

Pure white.

As if they held no pupils.

"Qinglian, stand down. Leave this to me." The woman glanced at Yi Qinglian. Though her white eyes lacked pupils, they seemed to hold a strange, projected image.

’The legendary Saintess of the Bright Sect, the woman who was once the strongest person below the rank of Strongest, is actually blind?’ The thought flashed through Gao Neng’s mind.

Since Yi Qinglian called her Master, the woman’s identity was obvious.

She was Yi Qinglian’s master.

The current Saintess of the Bright Sect.

And also, Luna’s senior martial sister.

Sigh...

’So this is what pedigree is all about.’

Gao Neng didn’t feel overly jealous. Right now, he was far more concerned about the safety of Li Tiannan and Sword Elder.

The two of them hadn’t shown up.

’Are they still fighting at the main gate of Ice City?’

"Gao Neng, take them and go," Qin Lei said again. The other four Strongest from the alien races had arrived.

Five versus five!

The numbers were now even.

But who would win or lose this fight was anyone’s guess.

Qin Lei was telling Gao Neng to leave.

His meaning was perfectly clear.

He wanted Gao Neng to lead a retreat.

"Alright!" Gao Neng didn’t hesitate this time. After all, with the way the battle had turned out, there was little use in him staying here any longer.

’Time to make a run for it!’

"Let’s go!"

"Master!"

"Go!"

"Grandmaster, be careful!"

...

The Dragon List Geniuses gritted their teeth and didn’t linger either.

"Where do you think you’re going?!" the White-faced King stepped forward. At five-on-five, he didn’t believe the five human Strongest could possibly win a fight against the Faceless Snow Demon and his allies.

"A mere Tier Nine dares to block my path?!" Gao Neng was getting angry.

’Son of a bitch.’

’I can’t beat the Faceless Snow Demon.’

’But you think I can’t take care of a punk like you, White-faced King?’

He didn’t waste any more words.

The remaining ninety gene weapons all surged forward.

"Shit!" the White-faced King cursed. His reaction was surprisingly fast; he immediately ducked his head and scurried back inside Ice City.

Gao Neng was speechless.

’What happened to "Where do you think you’re going?"’

’Where’s your dignity as a Tier Nine City Lord?’

Just as he was thinking, the White-faced King’s face reappeared atop the gates of Ice City.

"Gao Neng, don’t even think about escaping today!" the White-faced King shouted, simultaneously directing the Ice and Snow Race Warriors to taunt Gao Neng from the top of the gate.

’So there are... cunning cowards among the alien races too, huh.’ Gao Neng finally understood.

The White-faced King talked a big game, but when it came to a real fight, he was all about cheap tactics.

Come to think of it, that made sense.

After all, the White-faced King was in charge of Ice City, the closest city to the Northern District Battlefield. In a position like that, if he were even a little bit reckless, he would have been killed long ago.

Cowardice was the key to longevity.

It was just as the saying goes: "When the enemy advances, we retreat. When the enemy retreats, we advance..."

Gao Neng would have loved to play a game with this White-faced King, but he had a more important task at hand. Escaping was the top priority.

As for the White-faced King...

’Didn’t I hear that he’s carrying the Allied Army’s most precious supplies?’

"Tangtang, blow that gate to smithereens!"

"You got it!" Fang Tangtang sounded like she’d been waiting for this moment for a long time.

She raised her cannon.

Swallowed an Energy Pill.

A deafening blast erupted at the gates of Ice City.

"Aren’t we going to circle around the city?" Wei Ya moved up beside Gao Neng, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Why would we go around? I have ninety tier-eight gene weapons, and with all of you, we can definitely carve a path straight from the back gate to the front!" Gao Neng retorted.

"Hahaha, I get it! Then let’s fight our way through!"

"Kill!"

The Dragon List Geniuses roared and charged inside.

"Don’t get bogged down in fights! Just carve a bloody path straight through!"

"Understood!"

"We can’t just visit Ice City and leave nothing behind."

"We can’t kill them all... but we have to leave our mark on this capital city."

"Yeah!"

The Dragon List Geniuses were fired up.

The White-faced King, on the other hand, was stunned.

’They actually plan to cut their way through the city?’ The White-faced King ground his teeth. He wanted to stop them, but he knew it would be difficult to fend them off by himself.

Never mind the gene weapons in Gao Neng’s possession; he couldn’t even handle this huge group of human geniuses on his own.

Otherwise, he would have fled Ice City long ago.

"Lord City Lord, what should we do?!"

"Stop them!"

"Yes, sir!"

The Warriors of Ice and Snow City charged down.

Meanwhile, the White-faced King found a spot to watch the battle in the sky.

The Faceless Snow Demon had been struck by Qin Lei’s palm.

He had already recovered by now. And with the arrival of Qin Lei, Fairy Liu, Wuxin, and the others, he naturally stopped pursuing Gao Neng.

"Esoteric Enlightenment Heart, you’re not dead?" The Faceless Snow Demon’s gaze shifted from Qin Lei to the robed Wuxin nearby.

"Great Sun Buddha. If you, Faceless, have not yet perished, how could this old monk bear to die?" Wuxin’s expression was solemn, his tone perfectly calm.

"Hmph! You humans started this war. Since that’s the case, don’t blame us for breaking whatever treaty we had. The Blood Marshal’s death must be paid for with a life!" the Faceless Snow Demon snorted again.

"If you want to fight, then let’s fight. Enough with the pointless chatter," said the unnamed, beast-like man standing behind Qin Lei.

"Faceless, you said... the Blood Marshal is dead?! Is he really dead?" The expression of a newly arrived alien, who had two glowing, pointed horns on his head, changed drastically.

This was also a member of the Blood Race.

His appearance was very similar to the Blood Marshal’s.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have come. After all, the Blood Marshal was already there to investigate on behalf of the Blood Race.

However, the Blood Marshal’s fluctuating aura and his signal for aid had forced him to come.

"Dead?! The Blood Marshal is actually dead? Who... Who did this?!" The Blood Race Strongest was furious. For the Blood Race, this was an absolutely devastating blow.

First, there was the battle in the North District.

The Blood Grand Marshal died on the battlefield.

That was one thing.

But now, the Blood Marshal was dead too?!

Wait!

After the Blood Marshal died...

’Why hasn’t his soul’s aura appeared in the Blood Pool?’

"It was Gao Neng. He killed the Blood Marshal and even extinguished his soul. By the time we arrived, it was too late to stop him." The Faceless Snow Demon glanced at the Blood Race Strongest, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Too late to stop? How could you have been too late to stop him?!"

"Don’t take it out on me. If you really want to vent, go after them." The Faceless Snow Demon pointed a hand toward Qin Lei and his group. "A life for a life. That’s a famous saying of theirs, isn’t it?"

"Of course a life must be paid!" The Blood Race Strongest’s fists tightened.

BOOM!

A Blood Mist erupted.

Led by him, the chaotic battle of the Strongest officially began.

Meanwhile, inside Ice City.

Gao Neng, Shaximo, and the others had already charged to the very center of Ice City.

Even so, he could still hear the massive commotion from the rear gate and feel the powerful energy that was constantly overflowing from it.

"Gao Neng, are you really planning to leave just like this?" Gao Xiaomeng popped her head over.

"What else? The plan to take Ice City failed. Without the chaos here, how are we supposed to get a chance to launch a sneak attack on the other alien races’ bases?" Gao Neng whispered back.

"But isn’t it even more chaotic now?" Gao Xiaomeng said.

"More chaotic?"

"Yep. And I just saw another member of the Blood Race..." Gao Xiaomeng glanced behind them, then added, "That makes two Blood Race Strongest out there now!"
