Chapter 388: 355 Shadow Wind 3

Suiyang.

"The vicious attack on the Security Agency that occurred yesterday at the coastal border has now been confirmed to be perpetrated by someone who smuggled themselves into the country from overseas.

Under the pursuit of both Jiu Yi and the investigative teams dispatched by the Security Headquarters, the suspect’s whereabouts have been completely exposed.

The police have arrested one person and are pursuing the other criminals based on the leads provided in the confession.

Mr. Ouqin, the director of the Provincial Security Headquarters, has stated that the criminals are now being chased to the uninhabited outskirts. Citizens who have plans to travel to the suburbs are advised to postpone their trips out of the city...."

On the projection TV, a news anchor from another local station was reporting the latest gathering of national criminal incidents to the camera.

Xiao Zhong sat on the couch, his upper body bare, one arm wrapped in a bandage, fiddling with a small object in his hands.

"How did you end up like this on your trip out?"

Rainbow Candy walked out of a nearby room, frowning at the sight of him.

"With your abilities, how could you be so seriously injured?"

Xiao Zhong didn’t answer, simply picking up a bottle of apple juice from the table and taking a swig.

After a long silence, he finally spoke.

"I encountered a tough guy. He discovered me beforehand, didn’t let me get close, and injured me from a distance using a Flying Yi."

"What about the force field generator’s energy core I fused for you? That core was forced together from two grade six cores; it took me a full four days to recover afterwards. Don’t tell me it was useless?" Rainbow Candy said, puzzled.

Previously, to help Xiao Zhong deal with a new local family faction encountered by the group, she forced the use of her Heart of Convergence ability to integrate a super-grade energy core into Xiao Zhong’s force field generator.

Two grade six energy cores were merged to create a core that was at least of military level grade eight, forbidden from sale.

But as a consequence, Rainbow Candy herself suffered excessive overuse of consciousness power and had to rest for four full days, not daring to venture near Everpeace Garden.

"If it weren’t for the core you helped me with, I’d be dead by now," Xiao Zhong said flatly.

"What about that guy then?"

"Since I’m alive, naturally, he’s dead," Xiao Zhong replied.

"...you’re getting more and more reliable," Rainbow Candy nodded, "But Da Xiong has been going crazier lately. Her lab has started to transport large creatures inside. I always worry she’ll create something uncontrollable."

"Her abilities are strong and she has pushed them to the extreme, but her own strength is too weak," Xiao Zhong shook his head.

"Yes, Da Xiong herself can’t even beat a grade three, but the mutated creatures under her command are very strong and numerous," Rainbow Candy agreed.

She paused, then continued, "The last time I saw her, she seemed increasingly insecure, and now she’s implanting some strange things into her own body. She’s also using the group’s funds to acquire nuclear power plants..."

"The higher-ups allow it?"

"She’s doing it under the guise of affiliation with the Li Family. I’ve checked the group’s recent financial activities and the Engineering Department’s plans. She’s probably wants to build a completely private fortress for herself. Or rather, an airborne fortress," Rainbow Candy explained.

"Does the boss know?" Xiao Zhong frowned.

"The boss entered the Blind Spot and hasn’t come out yet; it’s City of the Death Angels, with extremely high difficulty. We discussed that if he doesn’t emerge in another two days, we’ll ask Paine to go in for the rescue," Rainbow Candy said.

"Hmm. The boss won’t have any trouble. Even if he can’t come out for a while, he definitely won’t die," Xiao Zhong lowered his head, saying no more.

Today’s Garden of Fate Team, as everyone’s strength has improved, have started to establish their own separate team forces.

Leveraging the abilities of the Flower Language Technique, each of their developments has been extremely rapid.

Da Xiong has established her own bio-research force, and Rainbow Candy is in fact also organizing her own network hacker team.

Even he himself...has done the same, establishing a mercenary assassin squad dedicated to serving him.

They coordinated with each other for mutual development.

Using the group’s brand to attract enough top-notch elite talent.

Except for Dragon Gate Crane.

That guy...

Xiao Zhong exhaled, feeling that he was likely the first one in the team who would be killed off.

"Don’t overthink it; this development is inevitable," Rainbow Candy came over and patted his shoulder.

"As long as the boss is here, we are still a team," she said earnestly.

"Yes," Xiao Zhong responded. "I just... feel like I’ve killed too many people."

To date, he has lost count of how many people’s shadows he has set ablaze.

Three thousand? Five thousand?

Perhaps even more.

If he wished, he could ignite everyone around him as he passed by.

And now, the Mingyuan Group, in a short period, has been alarmingly expanded by the mad Blind Spot Individuals.

Support from the Great Nobles, cooperation with local families, and the Blind Spot Individuals’ ruthless actions to secure benefits for survival.

All of this has seen Mingyuan Group skyrocket in a very short time, surpassing the initial forces like Tie Feng Group, becoming the undeniably huge force of Fengnan Province.

The addition of Hai Sha and Chen Jiahan has made the group even more formidable.

Especially Hai Sha, who after integrating the full set of equipment and weapons purchased by the group, combined with his rapid advancement in strength, easily crushed the invading Thirteen Flying Flow elite squad a few days ago.

The squad had an average force of grade four, with the strongest being a grade six leading the team, yet they were effortlessly defeated and seriously injured by Hai Sha.

"How about you take the position of Head of the Discipline Supervision Department of the group?" Rainbow Candy suddenly suggested.

"No... Mr. Xindela already has plans for that," Xiao Zhong declined. "His Flower Language Ability seems to control a lot of things."

"He met with a junior from a family who rushed over from White Star yesterday, and seems to have found some clues about Lien. When the boss comes out, let’s all get together," Rainbow Candy said.

"Okay, we’ll deal with it together then," Xiao Zhong stood up and headed toward his bedroom.

City of the Death Angels.

Second floor corridor.

Li Chengyi and the Balance Angel stood about ten meters apart, facing each other.

He was wearing the Feilian Floral Dress, its fierce black and purple form making him resemble a humanoid Shadow Dragon.

Metallic wings fluttered slightly behind him.

Standing on the cold stone floor, he slowly initiated Dragon Transformation.

His whole body swiftly began to grow taller, his skin sprouted black Dragon Scales, his eyes transformed into pure golden dragon eyes, while the breath from his nose and mouth turned into sulfuric hot air carrying sparks.

’The evolved Shadow Dragon Bloodline is clearly much stronger than before.’ Li Chengyi carefully felt the changes in his body. After elevating his weak Shadow Dragon Bloodline to a common one, he could feel his whole body becoming heavier, more substantial, and a layer of semi-transparent keratin began to surface on his skin.

His strength had also increased significantly compared to before.

If he were to express it in figures, he estimated that his base strength had increased by at least three to four tons from his previous limit of 19 tons.

With his base strength further amplified by the Floral Dress, the concentrated and doubled burst from the Soft Qi, the enhancement from the Flower Language Technique, the auxiliary boost from Glint Flash, and the inherent improvement from the Dragon Realm, he could unleash a terrifying impact force of approximately three hundred and fifty to four hundred tons.

This was an incredibly terrifying figure.

Because the area of impact was too small.

Li Chengyi was holding a Golden Longsword in his hand, already reinforced with the Floral Fortress’s enhancement.

Huge, inert Death Energy swirled around his left forearm, forming a special grey and black semi-transparent flame.

’This time, let’s try using Death Energy in combination with martial arts.’

As an inert energy, Death Energy was extremely inactive, only reacting when coming into direct contact with completely opposing energy types. Most of the time, this energy exhibited an inert nature, hardly interacting with the majority of other energies or materials.

Just look at the roaming Skeletons, and you’ll know. This energy, in essence, is too mixed, resulting in very weak interference with most other materials and energies.

Think about it, if Death Energy reacted easily, those Skeletons running amok would have caused total chaos long ago.

Crack.

The Balance Angel opposite raised its sword, the bones in its body rubbing against each other, producing a faint noise, pulling Li Chengyi back from his distraction.

"This time, let’s try... Death Energy."

The Balance Angel’s broadsword started to gather dense white specks of light.

Suddenly, it swung downward.

Boom!

A large mass of semi-transparent and massively distorted air pressure instantly detached from the blade, filling the entire corridor and rolling towards Li Chengyi.

Li Chengyi had already taken a deep breath, with Soft Qi swiftly gathering inside his body, concentrating on his arms.

He swiped his left hand over the Golden Sword.

Death Energy, like sludge, stuck to the Golden Sword.

This was his own Death Energy, which naturally would not harm his Floral Dress.

Thump, thump.

Li Chengyi took a quick lunge forward.

Soft Qi erupted outward.

Dragon Slay!

The Dragon Whisker Sect’s move surged forth abruptly. Centered on him, Dragon Slay burst twice with the force of Soft Qi through the Golden Sword, forcibly tearing open the wind pressure sphere swung out by the Angel.

Swoosh!

The Golden Sword, with its terrifying screech, pierced faster than double the speed of sound, aiming straight at the Balance Angel’s chest.

Clang!!

The Golden Sword and the heavy sword of the Angel clashed.

The Golden Sword shattered, exploding into countless fragments spreading in all directions.

Li Chengyi simply released the hilt, sidestepping to avoid the Angel’s second swing.

His speed far exceeded the Angel’s, lightly circling to its rear.

Thud.

The Death Energy flames lit in his left hand, like potent glue, were fiercely smeared on the skeletal wings on the Angel’s back.

For a moment, the Angel’s wings stalled slightly, and a clump of grey Death Energy, like glue, was forcibly pulled off by Li Chengyi.

’It works!’

Li Chengyi felt a surge of joy in his heart.

If he could steal the Balance Angel’s Death Energy, there was no doubt this added to his confidence in dealing with the Silent Angel.

He continued to dodge left and right without confronting the Balance Angel head-on.

No longer bothering with the sword, he simply used the Death Energy flame on his left hand to repeatedly steal Death Energy from the Angel.

As time passed slowly and Death Energy was continuously being plundered,

Li Chengyi’s body released an incessant flow of excess Death Energy, having already reached the limit of his absorption capacity, the newly absorbed Death Energy could only be released into the air.

Meanwhile, the Balance Angel became slower and slower.

Its body seemed to rust like a machine, its movements growing sluggishly.

Whiz!

After its last broadsword strike missed, the Balance Angel thrust its blade deep into the wall, burying half its length.

Then, it just stood there motionless.

"Looks like this is the correct solution for overcoming this Blind Spot."

Li Chengyi let out a sigh of relief and walked forward.

"You lost." His voice was clear, and at the same time, the Evil Flower on the back of his hand activated the Flower Language Technique, lighting up with a purple glow.
