Chapter 277: 257 Chaos First

Hiss!!

The shrill screech resonated, echoing through the air.

On the desert sands at night.

Whether it was Han Qi or the surrounding Sand Thieves that were closing in, all of them widened their eyes, staring intently at the scene unfolding before them.

Li Chengyi’s massive armoured figure stood with one hand on his sword, focusing a thick column of colored light onto the blade.

In his hand, there seemed to be a vortex, an invisible force that drew everything into it.

That vortex was forcefully drawing the colored light beams together.

Hiss...

Seconds later.

The colored light went out, disappearing.

The Golden Sword in Li Chengyi’s hand also completely melted, falling to the ground and shattering into countless Gladiolus Petals that vanished.

There was silence in the world for a moment.

Behind Han Qi, the black ring shimmered with a new cycle of colored light, but he did not continue.

A new Golden Sword formed and materialized in Li Chengyi’s hand. He also made no move.

Having fought to this point, both understood that to continue would only lead to greater losses and depletion for themselves, with no other outcome.

"What a pity..." Han Qi suddenly sighed. "If I were fully prepared, with my injuries completely healed, tonight would not be like this."

"You could have surrounded and killed me," Li Chengyi said calmly. "I don’t mind."

Han Qi fell silent.

His body’s simulation quickly concluded that if he mobilized the Feiyi Masters around him to surround and kill Li Chengyi, it was very likely the same situation would arise again... the attack becoming ineffective.

So...

Swoosh!

In an instant, a streak of purple light flashed from afar, savagely slashing towards Li Chengyi at that moment.

The purple light moved incredibly fast, only slightly slower than Han Qi’s earlier attack, also leaving Li Chengyi with no chance to react.

Clang!

In an instant, a dull sound echoed.

The purple light curved, landing precisely on the blade of the Golden Sword.

Then, Li Chengyi casually flicked it away, sending it spinning and flying off into the distance.

With a thud, it buried itself in the sand.

And then there was silence.

The silence from Flying Yi could only mean one thing: it had been damaged...

With that, Han Qi hesitated no longer.

"Looking forward to meeting you again..." The colorful light on his body went out. He made no further moves.

With his strength and model, he naturally had a final weapon system that he hadn’t used, but continuing the fight was pointless now.

He needed to conserve more energy reserves to deal with the incoming local powers of Sutan.

Han Qi raised his hand.

In an instant, the Sand Thieves who had unknowingly gathered around parted, automatically clearing a path for departure.

Li Chengyi gazed deeply at the other man.

He had killed quite a few of the opponent’s experts along the way, but even so, this man was able to make a decisive choice to let him go.

Additionally, even after using his Ultimate Form, he hadn’t managed to completely take down his opponent.

This made him regard the man with even more importance.

Intuition told him that the other also held back additional trump cards. To this extent, both knew that continuing the fight would be counterproductive.

The purpose of a battle, if not for vengeance, must be focused on benefits.

If a battle’s cost far outweighs its gains, then it should not happen.

That’s what Han Qi believed.

And so did he.

Li Chengyi wasted no more words; stepping forward, his massive frame suddenly surged ahead, speeding along the path provided by the Sand Thieves and quickly leaving the area.

It wasn’t long before he vanished into the distant desert night.

"This man... his strength is very strange, should we really let him go?"

Behind Han Qi, a figure also covered in a mirrored armor but with a more slender form quietly appeared, asking.

"If we were to pursue a vendetta against him just because he killed your clone, we might have been completely swept into the dust of history decades ago," Han Qi said softly.

"Have all four Silver Prototypes returned?" he asked, turning around.

"Yes, all the Prototypes have returned to their positions," the figure replied.

"We can finally cast off our disguise as Sand Thieves. Up next... Sutan should be the era of our reign," Han Qi said softly as he descended to the ground.

Aaaaahhhh!!!

Rainbow Candy, like a cornered beast, was rolling frantically among the Sand Thieves, dodging and swinging her blade.

Bullets hit her Fantasia Floral Armor from time to time, deflected by the bulletproof vest beneath the tattered Fantasy Garment.

The massive impact kept shaking her entire body, causing her to stagger occasionally.

Her resistance was fierce but futile.

After she caught them off guard at the beginning, using her speed and strength to ambush and kill two men, the remaining Sand Thieves employed wolf pack hunting tactics, surrounding her without getting too close.

They simply bled her out, exhausting her strength.

Around her, they continuously shouted indistinguishable sounds—with laughter, pride, and mockery evident, clearly waiting for the moment when she would be utterly drained.

’Am I... going to die?’ Rainbow Candy angrily maintained her movements, repeatedly charging at the Sand Thieves around her, only to be repelled time after time.

All her bombs were strapped to her body but had been automatically stored in the mysterious space of the Fantasia Floral Armor due to its wearing.

Therefore, they had not detonated.

Upon realizing this, Rainbow Candy understood how she could maximize the damage.

"You’re too slow!" Just as she was secretly enduring, waiting for the moment.

Suddenly a voice floated down from midair.

Swoosh!

A flash of white light descended from the sky.

Flying Yi!!!

Rainbow Candy’s pupils constricted, instinctively wanting to dodge, but it was impossible to avoid.

With her reaction speed, by the time she saw it, she was destined to be hit.

A blinding light descended from the sky, passing swiftly by her side in an instant.

It seemed as though it had refrained from dealing a fatal blow because it needed a female for the sacrifice, merely dissolving Rainbow Candy’s ability to resist.

Hisss!!

A deep gash, bone clearly visible, appeared on Rainbow Candy’s waist.

A copious amount of blood spilled onto the ground.

The intense pain hit her like a tide, accompanied by weakness from the blood loss, assaulting Rainbow Candy’s consciousness all at once.

Her body spun, and she staggered forward a few steps.

The sounds around her seemed to drift away for a moment.

’Am... Am I going to die?’

Her former pride, the reliance she believed she had because she thought her various money-bought equipment and weapons could compete with the experts.

And now...

Stripped of the protection her father provided, the resources and equipment he gave her.

She suddenly realized.

Herself...

Maybe she couldn’t even beat a few of the lowest-ranking Sand Thief soldiers...

Even with a body enhanced beyond theirs, even if she was faster, stronger, and more powerful.

She was still being overpowered, toyed with.

Unable to fight back...

’So... I’m this weak...ah...’

Her consciousness began to blur as she lost more blood.

Rainbow Candy finally understood at this moment, she saw the real herself.

’Without my father’s support... I... can’t even defeat the lowliest of soldiers...’

’I’m really too weak...’

’Too weak...’

Puh.

Finally, Rainbow Candy collapsed to the ground, her blood slowly seeping into the sand below and staining the ground red.

Woah~~~

The surrounding Sand Thieves closed in with strange cries.

Bang bang bang bang bang!!!

Just then, two bright yellow streams of bullets sprayed from afar, sweeping through the group of standing Sand Thieves.

Ahhhhhh!!!

A voice filled with desperation mixed with the sound of the machine gun firing.

"You scum! Die die die!!!"

A hundred meters away, Dragon Gate Crane was holding a double-barreled machine gun, aiming crazily in their direction.

He hadn’t been running away before but had used the retreat to rush over and seize a machine gun from a crashed helicopter!

And after fiddling around for a while, he had succeeded!

The machine gun chain took down more than a dozen unsuspecting Sand Thieves in a few bursts, but before he could celebrate,

a beam of white light soared into the sky, hurtling toward him.

"Bring it on!!" Dragon Gate Crane opened his chest, revealing five T6s strapped to his chest!

"If I can trade myself for a Feiyi, that’s worth it!" he shouted with a laugh.

Indeed, the Flying Yi made an abrupt stop, turned, and flew away, clearly not willing to risk damage from the explosion just to kill one small fry.

Meanwhile, near where Rainbow Candy lay, several agile figures quietly struck from behind the remaining Sand Thieves.

"Deep Sea Explosive Punch!!" Alisa’s familiar roar floated from afar.

Boom!!

Two Sand Thieves were punched into four pieces.

On the other side, Wang moved swiftly, like a phantom flashing through a group of Sand Thieves.

As he passed, the Sand Thieves clutched at their throats, falling to the ground unable to breathe.

When the last Sand Thief fell,

Wang sheathed his blade, stood tall, and looked helplessly towards the boss, Alisa.

After they entered the city, they had failed to find the Book of Record at the designated location, so they stealthily took some weapons and equipment, planning to take them back as compensation for their losses.

Unfortunately, on their way out, they stumbled upon Rainbow Candy being surrounded.

With only a few Sea Wolves left, everyone fell silent, hesitating, not planning to mount a rescue.

Just as they were about to quietly leave, Alisa charged headlong into the fray.

"I could die any minute anyway! Can’t I do something I want to do!? You guys don’t have to come; I can handle it alone!"

Alisa charged into the crowd of Sand Thieves first.

The rest exchanged looks; if the boss had gone in, what else could they do?

They had no choice but to follow!

Alisa helped Rainbow Candy up, quickly stopped the bleeding, and wrapped her wounds with bandages.

"Let’s go! Retreat immediately!" She stood up and led the team away.

But after only a few steps, she stopped.

Not just her, the other Sea Wolves following behind also halted.

Directly in front of everyone,

two tall figures, a man and a woman clad in white robes and hooded caps, were quietly watching them, two white Flying Yi scimitars swirling around them.

"We’re in trouble..." Alisa had clashed with a Feiyi Master armed with such equipment before and knew how tough they were.

These Feiyi Masters, even the least skilled of them possessed Grade Four strength. Coupled with the Feiyis’ unique supersonic pursuit capabilities...

In the current situation with the government forces in complete disarray, every second they delayed added a second of danger.

’What do we do!!?’ A dark cloud seemed to loom over Alisa’s heart.

"Scatter and escape!" Wang whispered by her side. ’Lei Shan and the others have come out too, without the Book of Record, we can run northwest. They’ll cover our escape.’

"It’s too late..." Alisa handed Rainbow Candy to Wang. "I’ll cover for everyone. You lead the others and run!"

"Boss, you..." Wang’s expression changed.

Just then, the two Feiyi Masters in front paused, and although they were a hundred meters apart, they seemed to have received some message and looked deeply at this side.

Soon, jets of flame burst from behind, propelling them to glide away towards the distant dunes, disappearing into the night.

"They...?" Alisa was still puzzled, but Wang was quick to make a decision.

"Go! They must be responding to some emergency at the Oasis!"

The group swiftly headed in the direction away from the Oasis.
