Chapter 1437: Chapter 1347: The Might of Liang Qian

The curious agent looked at the slightly undulating ground beneath their feet, but this undulation lasted only briefly, almost instantaneously the earth began to tremble violently, completing the process of cracking, arching, collapsing, and leaving deep pits in the blink of an eye. The sensation of cracking soil hitting the soles of their feet arose, and only then did everyone understand why the captain told them to fly off the ground and seal their hearing. This must have been a violent explosion ahead, so intense that if their bodies were in contact with the ground, their internal organs would be injured by the explosive shock.

With their hearing sealed, they couldn’t hear what changes were happening outside; everyone’s eyes were tightly fixed on Mei Simiao at the forefront of the camp, waiting for him to declare the order to unseal. Not until they saw Mei Simiao’s raised left hand fall did the agents breathe a sigh of relief and eagerly lifted the auditory seal. After a brief silence, they first heard a buzzing sound transmitted under the scorching air of high temperatures, followed by occasional explosions and a cacophony of wailing.

"Attack! Attack! All units advance!" Mei Simiao waved his arm and shouted the order. All members, who had been eagerly waiting for battle, responded in unison and under the leadership of their team captains, soared into the sky and leaped out of the defensive circle.

As those closest to the defensive circle rose into the sky before advancing, they first staggered backward when struck by a heatwave, then widened their eyes in shock at the scene before them. The Vlad family castle, which had stood firm through more than a dozen rounds of artillery fire, now had a huge breach blown on its front wall by the explosion’s impact, and the front of the defense wall was in complete disarray. The blood tides that had surged were now gone, the earth seemed like it had been flipped upside down from beneath, scattering with the flying soil all over the battlefield, leaving only an unfathomably deep pit at the original site. In the pit, surviving members of the Vlad family hadn’t yet realized the residual effects of the explosion.

Looking around, the artillery position regarded as a thorn in Ordin’s side mostly lay destroyed since it wasn’t within the defensive wall’s protective circle and was hit by the explosion’s shockwave. Meanwhile, underfoot, the defensive wall had blocked the front impact of the explosion, leaving behind reddened walls and numerous different-sized deep craters.

Was this the handiwork of Liang Qian, known as the Explosive Witch in the hall? Indeed, the Elite Squad members were all extraordinary superpower users, and seeing this terrifying scene before them, many agents couldn’t help but reflect in their hearts.

"Why are you still in a daze? Get moving! Each squad selects its targets! Faced with an enemy weakened like this, I don’t allow any casualties!" Mei Simiao, having charged out from the defensive wall, was taken aback by the scene before his eyes. However, he quickly came to his senses and urged orders.

Commanding officers no longer hesitated upon hearing the orders, and teams of investigative hall members pounced into the pit like tigers descending the mountain. Most of the Vlad family members in the pit either survived in severe injury or were still in a daze from the explosion’s impact, unable to withstand the assault of this well-prepared force. Many barely stood up shakily, and when they raised their arms preparing for a final counterattack, investigative hall members had already rushed before them. With the coordinated collaboration of several members, almost every unit managed to reap a Vlad family member’s life each time they struck.

"Pei Yan!" Watching Pei Yan slowly descending from the sky, Ordin let out a roar mixed with grief and anger; only now did he realize that the series of actions taken by the investigative hall wasn’t merely to defend against his assault but to counter their pre-arranged ambush.

Having found their target, they first locked the family’s space from the outside, preventing the castle members from using space transmission or other spatial magic to flee, having only the option to reach the spatial boundary and break the seal to escape. The second step was launching layer-by-layer surround attacks on the castle, setting ambushes all along. From the start, the opponents didn’t intend to let any of their race members escape alive.

The recent underground attack could only be described as astonishing, as Ordin felt the ground beneath his feet could become so terrifying for the first time, as if a primitive giant beast filled with explosion energy was beneath the land. The entire ground erupted, clan members bursting out had no time to react; everyone was enveloped in the explosion. In the face of continuous explosions and high-temperature impacts, all Blood Race self-healing magic became insignificant. Except for a few higher-realm Blood Race survivors, the vast majority directly succumbed to explosions, crumbled into pieces, and turned to ashes.

"What are you yelling about! You’ve arrived! Are you so eager to court death?" Pei Yan clutched his ears as he slowly descended from the sky. He hadn’t anticipated Liang Qian’s ability to have such a impressive outcome, estimating that based on Liang Qian’s previous capability, deployments in such a large area should only have one-third of their current effect. It seems that as Liang Qian’s realm improved, her superpower’s might also raised to an entirely new level.

As Pei Yan’s figure descended, Xia Yu, Ye Ruozai, Mei Simiao, and Wang Wenze among others landed around him. Together they coldly observed the few remaining Blood Race in the field, as Pei Yan chuckled disdainfully, "I know the Delacuri put a significant dent in the Vlad family during that battle, but I didn’t expect it to be so severe! Are there only you three Heavenly Dao, uh! Duke-level strong among them!" Saying this, Pei Yan removed his mask to glance at his companions idly, "To be honest, these opponents don’t really stir up my interest to even take action! Does anyone feel like going down to have a bout with them?"

"Don’t fight over it! You all took center stage several times already! I’ve absorbed new superpowers too! These three are already like stray dogs; let me toy with them!" Today’s stellar performances from Jiang Feiyang and Liang Qian sparked some anxiety within Wang Wenze, eager to prove himself, he stepped forward smilingly at Jiang Donghu and Peng Lang in the team, "Aren’t either of you going down? Can’t let the Child of Origin hog all the limelight."

The two who were named had already been itching for action, so hearing Wang Wenze’s remarks, stepped forward as well. Pei Yan, Xia Yu, and the other Children of Origin exchanged an understanding smile at seeing their friends venture forth, not blocking. They had faith in their companions’ abilities, even if setbacks arose, they were present to ensure no real danger would occur.

"Good! Good! Good! A Level 8 Superpower User, two Level 7 peak Superpower Users, have we been belittled to this extent?" Ordin looked at the three who claim they want to confront him and felt a deep sense of humiliation. Amidst his anger and sorrow, he tore off his tattered gown.

Although Wang Wenze and others were confident in their absorption of other superpowers and verbally disdainful towards the enemy, these individuals were, nonetheless, equivalent to Level 9 Superpower Users. Seeing them poised for a desperate fight, the trio heightened vigilance and prepared to give it their all.
