Chapter 325: 302 Skirmish Six_2

Crash!!

With a crisp sound, the massive protective barrier shattered explosively, smashed into countless red light fragments by the colossal King Tao Mu, like glass pulverized.

Roar!!!

King Tao Mu let out an angry roar, turning to look back at Li Chengyi.

But he found that Li had disappeared without a trace.

With the barrier gone, the existence of King Tao Mu was completely exposed under the watch of Heavenly Eye and Silent Fortress.

Wuu!!

Piercing alarm sounds instantly filled the skies above Chaoyu.

"Royal authority unlocked successfully, the whole city will initiate the Emergency Lockdown System in one minute."

An icy female voice rang out in various places across Chaoyu.

That was an announcement from Heavenly Eye. The purpose of the barrier was to isolate internal signals to prevent Prince Zhou Shuo from using his privileges to activate Chaoyu’s lockdown system.

But now, everything had been destroyed by Li Chengyi.

"Damn it!! Retreat!!" Chen Zonghan realized at this moment that their plan was completely ruined. Their attempt to delay had failed, and the barrier was destroyed eight minutes ahead of schedule.

That was half the time they had anticipated, and he was unclear what this would bring to the operations at headquarters.

But what he did know very clearly was that it was already too late for him to run.

This lockdown targeted all hostiles above Grade Five.

And with their operation failed, once White Star retreated... they would surely become the scapegoats!

"Go!!" Chen Zonghan quickly dispersed the external phase of Flying Yi, grabbed Flying Yi with one hand, and shot up into the sky, flying towards the outskirts of the city.

The same was true for the remaining Bagua Gate disciples scattered through the Martial Arts Hall; Chen Jiahan was among them.

At the same time, members of Star Lake and Utopia, who were entangled in combat within the city of Chaoyu, also received the signal and did not hesitate to turn and fly away.

Countless points of light flew onto the warships, rapidly retreating.

But before the warships could turn.

At the edge of the distant horizon.

A white light suddenly flared up.

The light grew from small to large, from far to near.

When first seen, it was the size of a soybean, but two seconds later, it had expanded to the width of a palm.

The light, like a pure white ribbon, split into a fan of smaller ribbons halfway through its flight.

The ribbons didn’t seem fast, but in reality, their astonishing speed allowed them to catch up with the White Star warships about to escape.

"Since you’ve come, don’t think about leaving." An aged, deep male voice resounded in the sky.

Sss!

Sss!

Sss!!

Three White Star warships were consecutively caught by the ribbons, penetrated as easily as a knife through tofu, with the light emerging from the other side.

Boom!

Massive explosions detonated in a chain reaction.

Amidst one of the warships, the mighty roar of King Tao Mu mixed in.

Black flames burst forth, and within the fire, the colossal figure of King Tao Mu, over ten meters tall, surged out of the warship, biting through a ribbon of light as it fled into the distance.

Down below at the Martial Arts Hall.

Li Chengyi looked up at the departing King Tao Mu.

Touching the wound on his chest that had just been struck, his eyes lit up with a trace of excitement.

"Since I said I’d chop you down, I can’t go back on my word."

Whoosh!

In an instant, a flash of black light, and he was gone from his spot, swiftly chasing in the direction Chen Zonghan had fled.

Chen Zonghan was fast, but the other Bagua Gate members weren’t as quick, and he wouldn’t abandon everyone to flee alone.

For a man, once there are others he cares about, he has ties, burdens.

And that means he has weaknesses...

To the west of Chaoyu, Ying River.

Whoosh!

A massive gust of wind descended from the sky.

King Tao Mu, with his towering stature of over ten meters, rapidly descended and stood firmly at the edge of the expansive Ying River.

King Tao Mu shed his outer layer of countless black fires, revealing Chen Zonghan and over a dozen others inside.

Chen Jiahan, who was critically injured, was also conspicuously among them.

At this moment, amidst the faint sounds of vibration, a hundred-meter-long black submarine slowly emerged from the surface of the vast Ying River.

Bang bang, hatches atop the submarine began to open one after another.

"Quick! Get out of here now, while Jiu Yi is still clearing up the chaos caused by Chaoyu. We have only five minutes!" Chen Zonghan urged with an ugly expression on his face.

He could never have imagined that, due to a moment of carelessness, he would actually be ambushed by that kid named Li Chengyi, who damaged the protective barrier and the entire plan.

What was more terrifying was that, even now, he didn’t know what method the other party had used.

"It’s a pity, if I had known, I would have slapped that kid to death first!! Ruining my grand plans! Damn it!!"

Chen Zonghan slammed his palm fiercely to one side.

A violent blast of air was squeezed out and exploded into a small crater on the ground with a ’puff’.

A mere whelp, at best equal to Grade Five, actually managed to sabotage his grand scheme in a face-to-face confrontation.

Without even thinking, Chen Zonghan could imagine what kind of punishment the organization would have in store for him once he got back.

It was supposed to be an absolute victory, and yet...

Soon, the people around him had already boarded the submarine one by one, leaving only him and Chen Jiahan as the last to keep guard.

"Retreat!" Chen Zonghan took his grandson and headed toward the submarine.

Hiss!!

Suddenly, a soft noise came from behind the two of them.

A terrifying sense of threat surged rapidly within their hearts.

Without a moment to spare, Chen Zonghan grabbed his grandson, dove to the right, surrounded himself with the Flying Yi’s protection, and expanded their force field.

King Tao Mu!

A black fire barrier suddenly appeared behind them.

Boom!!!

A dazzling golden light instantly shot out and struck the black fire barrier, causing layers upon layers of golden sparks to scatter.

The black fire force field trembled continuously, emitting moans as if it could no longer bear the load. After the recent strike by the light band, it had already consumed too much energy.

He couldn’t keep resisting like this!!

Chen Zonghan was aware of this and retreated toward the direction of the submarine with his grandson.

But it was already too late.

"Secret Sword: Yinglong."

A deep and familiar voice sounded.

Roar!!

A roar akin to that of an actual dragon resonated through the air.

A dragon made purely of purple flames, bearing twin wings, shot past Chen Zonghan’s head like a beam of light, plunging straight into the hundred-meter-long submarine ahead.

Boom!!!!!

Purple flames exploded instantaneously, enveloping the entire submarine, shrouding the massive war machine entirely in the mysterious purple fire.

Metal dissolved, struts moaned, and living beings inside screamed in agony.

But it all ended in a mere few seconds.

It seemed as if the submarine’s entire ammunition depot had detonated, exploding fiercely, and balls of bright, blinding flames burst forth.

Boom!!

The submarine fractured into several sections and slowly sank, vanishing from the surface of the river.

Chen Zonghan’s face contorted with fierce anger, watching the scene before him, a vast wave of grief and indignation surged in his heart at that moment.

"No!!!!"

Half of the Chen family’s core was on that submarine, and now, in this moment, everything was gone!!

"No!!!! Ahh!!!"

He turned around and looked towards the silently descending black figure not far away.

It was an odd humanoid figure clad in purple-black dragon Armor.

With purple-black metallic wings and a dragon’s head adorned with horns, its body was covered in a dense array of strange patterns.

Merely standing there, it conveyed a sense of opulence, fierceness, and a wild beauty.

"Destiny!!!" In that instant, Chen Zonghan realized who had destroyed the submarine.

"Do you like it?" Li Chengyi lifted his hand, and the Yinglong Sword in his palm gradually disappeared, replaced by a two-meter-long, broad Golden Sword.

"This is your welcome gift."
