Chapter 1199: Chapter 1065: Trump Cards

Just as the Stephens’ Supreme beings were initiating their attacks, more than a dozen A-levels and B-levels jumped out of the off-road vehicle.

These relatively low-tier Awakened formed teams upon disembarking, ready to launch an assault.

Their targets were not these two Supremes but other individuals in the manor, including the A-level Five Elements Team.

They were well-prepared, even bringing along someone with a Dark Attribute, which proves effective in team battles.

However, before they could attack, five overwhelming, majestic forces descended upon them.

In an instant, they seemed to be stuck in a viscous quagmire, unable to move, struggling even to breathe.

The Supremes were slightly better off, managing limited movements; for those below A-level, including A-levels, it was truly impossible.

An A-level with a Wind Attribute instinctively tried to use their Wind Attribute Body Technique, but moved as though recovering from a stroke.

In contrast, the opponents’ actions seemed largely unaffected.

The female Earth Attribute Supreme seemed unfazed, and not even the male Gold Attribute Supreme was restricted significantly.

This person had originally been entangled by vines but broke free through sheer force.

He shook his body and charged towards the Wood Attribute Supreme, raising his hand for a strike.

The Wood Attribute Supreme’s face turned pale, witnessing the fate of his compatriot; should the punch land, he could lose half his life.

But at this moment, the female Earth Attribute Supreme spoke up, "Return, defend for everyone!"

The Gold Attribute Supreme abruptly halted, retreating to the female Supreme’s side.

Only then did the newcomers realize: this fierce-fisted Supreme wasn’t part of the Five Elements Battle Array!

Meaning the other side has at least six Supremes!

With high-end combat power at a six to six ratio, there’s no advantage, and the opponent has an A-level Five Elements Battle Array. This battle...is tough!

In fact, the Five Elements Array composed solely of Supremes firmly trapped these individuals.

As the array operated, those trapped increasingly felt an overwhelming pressure and suffocation!

This array, is it truly this terrifying? Several Supremes had extremely grim faces.

Yet the Water Attribute Supreme who was injured had brighter eyes: the power of this array far surpasses what everyone had heard before!

If the Stephen Clan can obtain this array, how could they not develop and expand!

Despite being in enormous crisis, he dared to think this way; credit must be given, his foresight is exceptionally broad.

However, he wasn’t oblivious to his fate, more so he had his considerations!

The opponents’ combat power truly strong, while they were suppressed heavily, and defeat is only a matter of time.

But he also saw clearly that the other side seemed to have some reservations, at least the Gold Attribute Supreme’s attack was restrained!

What he didn’t know was that the Paranoid wanted to indulge in testing the Mountain-Breaking Fist, but Mu Yu forbade its use.

——A punch at full force was already enough; using it further, the fist technique would draw attention from others.

Previously, during the standoff against Sante above the Supremes, they had already revealed the Instant Flash Technique, and all members knew it!

If it weren’t for the astonishing battle performance, surely those two forces would inquire about the body technique.

Of course, understanding Instant Flash doesn’t necessarily require an ancient connection to the Mountain-Breaking Fist.

But performing such a devastating technique repeatedly, spreading the word, would inevitably stir trouble.

In reality, initiating the Five Elements Battle Array indeed necessitated someone to oversee it.

Hence, Qinghu replaced Zi Jiu Immortal’s position; Paranoid’s solo combat power was higher, effectively handling emergencies.

Yet he was overly reckless, forcing Mu Yu to stop him.

Still, the Water Attribute Supreme considered the opponents dared not kill their people, evidently demonstrating that the Stephen name was still effective.

His misconception was somewhat...understandable, given the Stephen family’s once unparalleled glorious past!

Ultimately, they were people trapped in the glory of yesteryears, unable to pull away, overestimating themselves, underestimating the enemy, not surprising.

Thus, he adjusted his energy and attempted to invoke a Finger Technique, only to be heavily struck.

His Finger Technique was already slowed, and upon receiving the attack, his hand gesture distorted instantly.

Other Supremes were barely able to attack, but the opponents not only had great positioning but also possessed a strong protective shield.

Indeed, it was a shield, not armor; the array was inherently the Five Elements rotation, what armor could be donned?

Moreover, whether it’s the Five Elements Array or Battle Array, Central Earth is crucial, with the strongest defense.

Those Supremes endured the array’s attacks, barely executing techniques; hand gesture distortion was highly probable.

Let alone fully reaching targets, even if they did hit, it couldn’t break through defenses, not to mention there were Guardians beside them.

But the Water Attribute Supreme had his technique disrupted, and in a moment, he flew into rage, "You think you have us completely penned in?"

Mu Yu snorted coldly, too disinterested to respond—when you arrived, wasn’t that exactly what you thought?

Seeing this, the Water Attribute Supreme gritted his teeth and proclaimed with intensity, "Then don’t blame us for not showing you respect!"

The Paranoid had initially decided to hold his tongue, yet hearing this, he couldn’t help but retort.

He sneered, "Attacking others’ homes first is considered showing respect?"

"I’ve seen shameless people, but never someone as shameless as you. Talking about noble glory... what nonsense!"

This guy’s temper is notoriously bad, and he always targets the sore spots when cursing.

Nobles care most about their glory, especially marquises who are high-ranking nobles.

The Water Attribute Supreme was furious and no longer cared to think things through. Raising his hand, he crushed a signal device.

With a twisted expression, he yelled, "Then let’s die together. You forced me!"

Actually, by this time, the people in the three armored vehicles had already noticed the intense energy fluctuations above the manor.

This is... a fight? They knew very well that their purpose here was to initiate a conflict.

They tried to rush in, but this time, the guards truly weren’t allowing it, even firing warning shots!

Unable to rush in... they temporarily ignored it. The people in the armored vehicles were confident in themselves, not believing they would suffer losses.

Until someone exclaimed, "Oh no, the warning device is destroyed..."

Although the Stephen Clan was full of confidence on their way here, they also prepared backups—better safe than sorry!

The warning device was one of those backups. They were worried the other party might use signal interference, so they employed a special oscillation sensing system.

As long as the warning device was destroyed, it signaled their own need for help.

Yet, there was no need for further clamor, for in the next moment, the shout of the Water Attribute Supreme reached outside.

"The lord wants mutual destruction?" someone was shocked. "Contact the warship for support immediately!"

This time they came with warships as a backup—anticipating the enemy generously isn’t just something Qu Jianlei does.

However, in the next moment, another problem presented itself: "How many warships should we call over?"

"Three company-level, all summoned!" an A-level spoke coldly. "Also gather all armed merchant ships!"

He referred to actual warships. Nobles with fiefs have private military slots in the Imperial system.

A marquis can have a battalion of private troops, with three company-level warships just like the military’s pure standard warships.

The only difference is the insignia: one has the military insignia, the other the noble’s crest.

If three warships come over, although it hasn’t become a full noble war, the nature is similar.

However, there was no choice left. The leader was evidently desperate without knowing what their party had gone through.

The decision-maker was straightforward, though only A-level, yet a direct descendant of the Stephen Clan.

Not only did he have a promising future, but his words also carried weight, excelling at evaluating situations.

He not only called over all three company-level warships, but also mobilized other armed merchant ships!

The warships were already prepared to support, ready and waiting in the territory.

But none expected that this mobilization would involve all three.

Simultaneously, through various technical means, they observed that their side seemed truly in a passive position.

So during the takeoff process of the three warships, they asked directly, "Should we initiate an attack?"

"Of course," the opposite side responded decisively, "Remember to set the shield strength to maximum and move flexibly!"

"The strength must be set to maximum..." the three company-level warships understood, "This is a tough fight."

Within the Gustine Clan’s territory, there are heavy weapons, but not many that can harm company-level warships.

The planet’s defense should rely on the official forces or military, not letting a bunch of private noble military run amok.

Even under these circumstances, setting the shield strength to maximum, the trouble they were facing was evidently significant.

The three warships took off instantly, charging up while heading towards the Gustine Clan’s territory.

The distance between the two families is very close, only taking a mere two minutes to arrive.

Upon reaching the outskirts of the opposing territory, they hadn’t even fully accelerated; the energy shields were barely reaching their limit.

However, the crew on the three warships had already observed the plight of their side, "The situation is dire, requesting warning shots!"

"Approved!" The commander in the armored vehicle gave the order, "Be wary of ground artillery fire."

The next moment, a voice rang out above the Gustine territory, "Stop! Or we will attack, this is no joke."

Anyhow, the so-called noble etiquette is quite common on Qingyuan Star—when attacking you, they notify you first!

Could the other side really stop? Certainly not!

So the warship crew didn’t bother checking the effect of their shout, and then a beam of white light illuminated.

The white light didn’t target main structures, as those buildings also raised their protective shields,

These shields might not be impenetrable, but immediately attacking buildings provides easy grounds for criticism.

If intimidation can scare off the opponent, why go to the lengths of life-or-death struggle?
