Chapter 960: Chapter 755: Sudden Arrival
"Damn Fierce Battle Gang!"
Staring at the now chaotic Storm City, Xu Hengjiang roared furiously and leapt forward, a gust of wind swirling in his hand as he punched out.
"Air Cannon... Hurricane!"
The air screeched, transforming into a massive hurricane cannon with a diameter of several hundred meters that exploded!
"Boom!"
In an instant, within the hurricane’s range, two Radiant Moon Level members of the Fierce Battle Gang, along with five or six other Radiant Moon Levels nearby, were momentarily frozen and then suddenly torn apart by the air like blood-colored fireworks!
The members of the Fierce Battle Gang exclaimed in shock, "It’s Xu Hengjiang, be careful!"
Xu Hengjiang let out an angry shout, ready to punch again. But at that moment, a dazzling and tyrannical purple lightning suddenly crashed down from the air.
Xu Hengjiang’s expression changed slightly, immediately striking out with a Storm God Fist!
Wind and thunder collided, Spirit Light Burst!
Xu Hengjiang spat out a mouthful of blood as he was directly blasted away, quickly controlling the raging winds behind him to stabilize his form.
The purple lightning stopped in mid-air, revealing a middle-aged man clad in Thunder Armor.
"Long time no see, Boss Xu." The middle-aged man in Thunder Armor smirked, arms crossed, sizing up Xu Hengjiang. "It seems your condition isn’t too good~"
"Del Mao!"
Xu Hengjiang looked at the middle-aged man in Thunder Armor with arms crossed, his face extremely grim.
The worst situation had happened; the opponent had indeed secretly sent a Burning Sun Expert.
This middle-aged man in Thunder Armor was none other than the Second Gang Leader of the Fierce Battle Gang—Del Mao!
Xu Hengjiang gazed at the devastated Storm City and the continually sacrificing members of the Storm Alliance, a sense of helplessness rising in his heart.
"Is the Storm Alliance really going to perish today?"
"Zzzla!"
With purple lightning flickering, Del Mao attacked again, transforming into a burst of exploding Thunder Light, shooting towards him!
"Overlord Butterfly!"
Xu Hengjiang mustered his spirit and uttered a low cry, his body surrounded by swirling hurricanes that rapidly formed into a pair of giant Overlord Butterfly Hurricane Wings behind him. With a roar, he charged forward!
Wind and thunder intertwined, roaring and howling!
The full power of two Burning Suns could only be seen as shadows of thunder and wind, with the collisions of wind and thunder exploding everywhere.
The sturdy buildings in the city were successively torn apart and shattered under such an offensive, and some of the nearby combatants from both sides were impacted and hastily distanced themselves!
Del Mao and Xu Hengjiang didn’t have any strange tricks; both of their fighting styles were of the straightforward and intense kind.
"Boom!"
After a series of intense clashes, with the burst of purple lightning, Xu Hengjiang, whose body was weak, suddenly fell to the ground, and one of the Overlord Butterfly Wind Wings behind him had been blown to pieces!
"Heh ha... Heh ha..."
Xu Hengjiang panted heavily, his chest was a blur, and electrical currents continued to surge on it.
Severely injured alongside the spreading poison, Xu Hengjiang’s body was so weak that he could hardly stand!
"Indeed, he’s been poisoned..."
High in the air, Del Mao grinned, lightning surging in his palm as he prepared for the final blow.
"Alliance Leader!"
The Guard Captain and other experts from the Storm Alliance, witnessing Xu Hengjiang’s defeat, were utterly alarmed and tried to rush to his aid!
But the experts of the Fierce Battle Gang were no pushovers, outnumbering them and not giving anyone else a chance to intervene.
At this moment, Del Mao suddenly smiled and said, "Come out, Branch Master Yuan!"
From beneath a nearby building, shadows twisted and eventually coalesced into a pale-faced, one-armed old man... it was Yuan Shan!
Xu Hengjiang’s expression changed as he glared and said, "Yuan Shan, you’re still here!"
Yuan Shan sneered, "Leave? With the situation so favorable, why should I leave? The Storm Alliance’s time is up, Xu Hengjiang, today is the day you die!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Hengjiang fixated on Yuan Shan, murder in his eyes, realizing he had been too lenient earlier.
Del Mao watched with great interest as former brothers turned mortal enemies, grinning, "Yuan Shan, now’s your chance to finish him off and the promised Sun Spirit Pill will naturally be yours."
Yuan Shan’s eyes lit up, a vicious smile forming at the corner of his mouth, "Xu Hengjiang destroyed my right arm. Thank you, Vice Leader Del, for giving me the chance to personally end this wretch!"
Xu Hengjiang was filled with rage, having spared Yuan Shan out of old sentiments, only to find it hadn’t brought him back to his senses.
Overcome by regret and anger, Xu Hengjiang couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Del Mao laughed heartily, "Good! Off you go, Branch Master Yuan!"
Yuan Shan drew a short sword, black light roiling over his body, countless shadows whirling behind him like a vortex, the Star Power Fluctuation on his body reaching an astonishing level.
With his killing move ready, Yuan Shan’s eyes flashed with fierce intent as he descended from above to strike!
Xu Hengjiang intensely focused on the rapidly approaching black light, mobilizing every bit of Star Power in his body. Even in death, he intended to take this ungrateful dog with him!
Yet, just then, a purple-skinned creature with the heads of a hundred beasts came charging in from the side.
From high above, Del Mao noticed it immediately, releasing a Thunder Snake as thick as a barrel with a flash of Thunder Light, striking at it instantly.
However, the purple-skinned creature didn’t slow down, directly piercing through the Thunder Snake and even accelerating, crashing right into the black light that Yuan Shan had turned into!
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, the black light shattered, a mist of blood bursting forth!
Yuan Shan was knocked through two or three stone buildings before collapsing to the ground, his pupils trembling with shock, speechless!
Xu Hengjiang was equally astounded, turning to see a young man with a northern face, a Bronze tripod beside him.
The purple monster that had just knocked Yuan Shan away now flew directly back into the tripod.
"Mr. An?" Xu Hengjiang hadn’t expected Antonios to still be there, feeling conflicted as he involuntarily shook his head with a bitter smile.
The closest person wanted to kill him, while someone he barely knew stepped in to save his life at such a critical moment.
No matter the reasons, it all seemed so ironic...
However, facing the Burning Sun-Level Del Mao now, Antonios coming back was of no use.
It was merely a chance to live a little longer, only to pay with another life.
Del Mao’s eyes narrowed as he glanced at Antonios, then fixed his gaze on the purple great tripod.
"This thing seems to be a treasure..."
Then he turned his head towards Yuan Shan, who was lying far away and had been hit by the Hundred Beasts Tripod, coughing up blood and unable to get up, sneering disdainfully in his heart.
"Trash! With just this bit of strength, does he still want the Sun Spirit Pill?"
In reality, the Fierce Battle Gang had already assessed Yuan Shan’s potential as nearly exhausted, and even if he obtained the Sun Spirit Pill, the likelihood of a breakthrough was less than ten percent.
However, considering his usefulness, after this matter, the Fierce Battle Gang still planned to give him a Sun Spirit Pill as promised, on the off chance he did succeed in breaking through.
But at this moment, with Yuan Shan having lost his right arm and appearing so disheveled, Del Mao had decided to kick him out alongside destroying the Storm Alliance!
"I’ll handle this myself!"
Del Mao snorted coldly, clapped his hands together, and suddenly a large amount of purple thunder surged up from beneath his feet, forming a crackling thunderbolt spear in front of him!
"Alliance Leader!!"
Seeing this scene, the myriad of Storm Alliance members around cried out in shock, eyes wide open.
Antonios’s eyes also narrowed, realizing such a powerful Burning Sun-Level attack was beyond what he could defend against.
However, remembering Su Yuan’s instructions before leaving to "protect Xu Hengjiang," Antonios took a deep breath and placed his right hand on the Hundred Beasts Tripod, pouring Star Power frantically into it.
"If it’s the main body of the Hundred Beasts Tripod... it should still hold off a hit or two!"
With a thought, Antonios already began to control the Hundred Beasts Tripod.
Suddenly, accompanied by a faint fluctuation, it seemed as if a silver light spread across the city.
In the intense battle, others didn’t notice, or didn’t know what it was.
But Antonios was all too familiar with it, a joyful expression appeared on his face, and his tense demeanor suddenly relaxed.
"Thunderbolt Piercing Demon Spear, kill!" Del Mao roared, and with a blast, the thunder sludge exploded, the Thunderbolt Spear capable of killing a Burning Sun-Level expert hurled from his hand!
"If I die, then so be it!"
Xu Hengjiang gritted his teeth, rising back up, as a violent gust surged from the Wind Wings of his Overlord Butterfly, now with only one wing, and dark wind elements crazily converged on his right fist.
He was about to unleash his strongest move — Air Cannon·Storm!
And at this moment, a silver light flashed before him, and a silver-haired figure in a black robe appeared right in front of him...
"Hmm?!" Xu Hengjiang was startled, before he could say anything, the Thunderbolt Spear had already shot towards him!
However, the imagined destruction caused by the thunderstorm did not appear, as the thunder spear was now suspended in front of Xu Hengjiang...
No, more precisely, it was halted before the newly appeared silver-haired youth in front of Xu Hengjiang!
"Master Su...?"
Xu Hengjiang was immensely surprised as he looked at Su Yuan in front of him.
And far away, Antonios finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiling casually, "Made it, boss."
In mid-air, Del Mao was similarly startled, then shouted coldly, "Thunder Spear Burst!"
"Boom!!"
A blast resounded as the Thunderbolt Spear exploded on the spot, and countless purple currents erupted like a thunderstorm, leaving a massive crater in the ground!
Yet as the thunder faded, neither Su Yuan nor Xu Hengjiang, nor the ground behind them, was damaged in the slightest.
As if it were an untouchable domain!
Xu Hengjiang, as well as the experts on both sides still in fierce combat, were stunned by this scene.
"Damn it, where did this Burning Sun expert come from!"
Del Mao glared at the unexpectedly appearing Su Yuan, his expression suddenly turning grim.
A murderous glint flashed in his eyes as Del Mao raised his right arm, pouring purple thunder along it, and quickly transformed into several Thunder Snakes rushing out of his palm.
However, when these Thunder Snakes reached Su Yuan, they seemed to hit an invisible wall, unable to cross the divide between the two sides despite baring their fangs and snarling.
"Explode!" Del Mao shouted again, detonating the Thunder Snakes.
But as before, it had no effect!
"Alliance Leader?!"
"The Alliance Leader is hurt, quick!..."
"..."
At this moment, more voices came from afar, but it was actually Jing Chenghui, Teng Jinghua, and others who should have been on the sea route, rushing over from not far away.
Xu Hengjiang, though unsure why the current situation unfolded, was overjoyed in his heart!
"Don’t worry about me, deal with the Fierce Battle Gang people first!" Xu Hengjiang shouted lowly, "Also, Yuan Shan is over there..."
"I brought him over." Antonios smiled, walking over from the side, and had already tied Yuan Shan to the Hundred Beasts Tripod with silver threads during the brief moment just now.
Su Yuan looked at Del Mao in the sky, giving orders without looking back, "You all escort Alliance Leader Xu away, leave this one to me."
Hearing this, Xu Hengjiang’s expression was complex, biting his lip, he solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Master Su... please take care of it then!"
