Chapter 1356: Chapter 32 Nuclear Flame

The shorty was a first-stage hero, and when he unleashed his full firepower, he was enough to crush Pang Meiqin. If it weren’t for a moment of carelessness and constantly being on guard for her ability, he would have taken her down earlier.

As a Conqueror who had survived to activate Hero Mode, none of them were to be underestimated. They were all cautious due to some Seed Abilities being very tricky; a careless moment could lead to being caught, and even if it wasn’t fatal, it would be very troublesome. However, they didn’t expect the enemy’s reinforcements to arrive, and the tall beauty in front continued not to use her ability, which nearly infuriated the shorty to death. He never dreamed that this woman relied solely on physical combat skills.

A storm hammer with trailing electric arcs swung down, the sound of cutting wind howling behind it, followed by the Magic Spear Thorn, firing towards another Conqueror.

The trio of shorties was stunned and without thinking, they turned to run. The three who had broken out of prison were incredibly fast and had no red aura about them, clearly having entered Hero Mode. With this significant gap in strength, there was no need to engage in battle; their own side was undoubtedly doomed.

"Don’t let them escape!" Tang Zheng activated his Shadow cloak to teleport instantaneously while Qin Yan liquefied. Bai Guo, having received hints from the group leader early, went to ambush and attack the enemy.

"Kappa Group Leader, big trouble!" The shorty, wearing a Throat Microphone, had just finished speaking when a black mist formed in front of him, catching the war hammer flying past him and smashing it towards his head.

The shorty’s tenacity was relatively strong; he clenched his teeth and braced for Tang Zheng’s attack, reaching out to grab his head, ready to exchange getting hurt for a chance to escape.

Boom, the Gravity Suppression turned on fully and then was lifted; an enormous tearing force continuously acted upon the shorty, making him feel as if he were on a lifeboat drifting in a stormy ocean, barely able to keep his footing.

The shorty swung his Vampire Curved Knife, narrowly blocking the war hammer and sparking a trail of sparks. The O State Eagle shot from Tang Zheng’s ring towards his chest but was blocked by a suddenly deployed Demon Shield. After all, he was a hero of the first stage, not easily killed.

Four female Musketeers appeared around the shorty, attacking with their rapiers, while their Silver Muskets fired bullets.

The shorty dodged these attacks and, upon realizing the female Musketeers weren’t very strong, even stopped bothering to dodge, focusing entirely on dealing with Tang Zheng.

"Something’s wrong!" Tang Zheng frowned. The shorty was initially slower than him but had suddenly doubled his speed. Since he wasn’t a second-tier hero, "Could it be an ability?"

A smirk appeared on the shorty’s face. If this was all the strength the man in front of him had, then there was no way he could lose. His ability was Absolute Acceleration; once he touched a target, his speed would always be twice that of his opponent. So even facing someone of a higher tier, he had a trump card to play.

"I definitely can’t escape, but as long as I hold on until Group Leader Kappa arrives, these guys will be bombed into oblivion." To be safe, the shorty even gave up on attacking and focused on defense.

Tang Zheng couldn’t hit the shorty; even using Gravity Suppression to limit him only reclaimed some advantage.

Bang, the shorty’s mouth was hit, which took him by surprise.

"This guy’s ability seems to counter mine? But no matter, it’s still not enough to kill!" In previous fights, the shorty rarely got hit, so he was confident.

The Moon Blade was completely ineffective against hero-level enemies; even the O State Eagle was just something that helped after breaking the opponent’s shield. Thinking of using it to directly break defense and damage was unrealistic.

The shorty could withstand it, but his two companions couldn’t; they were at most second-tier, nearly incapable of resisting against the formidable Qin Yan and Mu Nianqi.

Qin Yan liquefied, turning into a shadow that appeared under a man’s feet and then burst upward, spreading like spilled ink and enveloping him.

The man emitted light beams from his eyes but couldn’t penetrate the Shadow Country. Dozens of Energy Spears shot out from the ground like a gun thorn jungle piercing him.

The man tried to dodge midair, his shield activating, but the Magic Spear Thorn burst out, tearing through the shield and then thrusting into his body.

Energy Gun Stings shot out in succession, piercing the light beam man, making him like a bird that had flown into a thorn bush and got pierced to death.

Qin Yan shot up from the ground, her Magic Spear shaking out flowers of spears and piercing through the light beam man’s head.

Another man tried to escape, summoning a Porcupine Swarm to obstruct Mu Nianqi, but unfortunately for him, Queen Mu adjusted her position midair and dodged the creatures.

The Porcupine Swarm howled, their back spines firing out, but Queen Mu didn’t even bother dodging, directly opening her shield to block them. A semi-transparent crescent-shaped air blade appeared around her, shooting towards the summoning man and exploding on the ground and wall, sending dust flying.

Seeing his comrade instantly killed nearly scared the summoning man to death. The sight of Mu Nianqi’s clone also startled him. Just as he dodged, a sharp pain came from his back. Looking down, he saw a blood-stained blade piercing through his heart, and then his vision flipped as he saw his decapitated Corpse fall to the ground.

Mu Nianqi finished off their enemies and returned to help Tang Zheng, her and Qin Yan’s plan was effective: use Tang Zheng to hold off the strongest opponent, then take them down one by one.

Lin Weiguo and Pang Meiqin were besieging the short one, and even though they were enhanced by Gu Xueqi’s magic, they couldn’t even touch the hem of the short one’s clothes. The ability for absolute acceleration was just disgusting.

No serious injuries occurred yet, which greatly boosted the short one’s confidence. He summoned several puppets with a prop to help buy time.

"Damn, Warrior, Daylily!" The composed expression of the short one made Tang Zheng feel slighted. As the captain, he had to resolve the opponent first, even if they were stronger.

The Warrior appeared behind the short one, swinging the warhammer with his right hand, while his left hand drew the battle blade from his waist, chopping toward his head.

The short one’s shield was on the verge of collapse. He was amazed by Tang Zheng’s continuous display of abilities. In fact, even among peers, Tang Zheng’s overall strength was far superior to the short one. He was an all-around talent with almost no weaknesses. It was only because the team’s attack was too weak that people underestimated his breaching techniques. However, facing these quirky abilities, they were somewhat insufficient.

"Don’t let this guy touch you, he’s creepy." The old soldier might look honest, but as a special forces member, his combat IQ was not low. He could make educated guesses.

"Gravity Well!" After Daylily sprinkled the halo, he decisively canceled all extra abilities, even refraining from frequently changing the gravity in the control area, focusing on gravity suppression.

The motion of the short one became obviously stiff, but it still wasn’t enough. Tang Zheng continued to increase the gravity, as if he was at the bottom of a gravity well. The air visibly began to subside, forming turbulence, which also disturbed everyone’s breathing.

Crack, crack, the ground couldn’t withstand this pressure and started to crack, then collapsed. The debris that had been splattered by the combat just flew up, only to be pressed back to the ground because of the gravitational acceleration, each piece as lethal as a bullet.

The short one finally realized Tang Zheng’s strength. He felt like he was in a swampy quagmire, moving slower and slower.

Qin Yan’s "Shadow Country" arrived, its binding force increased again. Mu Nianqi roamed the perimeter, firing the Northern Wind Ring, and attacked the short one with clones.

Bai Guo, invisible around them, waited for an opportunity. Seeing the short one’s shield broken by Qin Yan and Tang Zheng, he suddenly sprang from the shadow, launching a surprise attack from behind.

Surrounded by a group, the short one felt immense pressure, especially from a woman who could ambush, and was caught off guard.

Tang Zheng wouldn’t waste this opportunity. He moved to the short one’s side before Qin Yan and Queen Mu could, grappling with both hands, while his knees delivered fierce blows.

The short one could only dodge by relying on his ability. Once countered, if caught by the opponent, his speed advantage would be nullified, leaving him only a dead end. He saw the situation very clearly but unfortunately lacked the strength.

"Kappa Group Leader, hurry up!" The short one became afraid and roared loudly. After all, being attacked by a group of strong opponents, he would lose in less than twenty seconds.

"Kill!" When Queen Mu heard the word "nucleus," she suddenly had a bad premonition and urged her allies to speed up.

Lin Weiguo, despite having entered the Third Order, didn’t see the rapidly approaching figure. Bai Guo and Pang Meiqin need not be mentioned.

"Defense!" Tang Zheng warned others. A scorching ball of light, like a meteor, shot towards them at lightning speed and arrived instantly. With its arrival, the ground began to dry up, and the moisture in the air rapidly evaporated as if they had entered a desert, dizzying from the heat with lips cracking.

Nearby plants withered instantly, and then, with a bang, burst into flames.

Tang Zheng, as the group leader, didn’t hesitate to collide with the light ball, while Qin Yan and Mu Nianqi redoubled their efforts to kill the short one.

Under the dazzling light, everyone’s vision was impaired, too glaring to see clearly. Even Tang Zheng was relying on his other senses to fight.

Bang, bang, Bai Guo saw Tang Zheng collide with the light ball, then they separated, and his clothes were completely singed, leaving only Xuanwu Protective Clothing. The light ball was also deflected, revealing a burly man with dyed golden hair styled in a pompadour.

"Arrogant guy!" Pang Meiqin saw that this man also wore S-level Protective Clothing but didn’t wear it properly, instead showing off his bare torso muscles, with the top half of the clothing casually draped from his waist.

"Group Leader, save me!" The short one was overjoyed, trying to escape from Mu Nianqi and Qin Yan.

"Release him, and we can pretend this never happened!" Nuclear Flame, with arms crossed, floated in midair, calmly looking over these enemies. When he saw the two corpses, he slightly frowned.

"Group Leader, we’re injured, avenge us!" Two unlucky newbies saw Nuclear Flame and began to wail.

"Waste!" Nuclear Flame snorted coldly. Flames immediately shot out from his nostrils, hitting them and igniting them like torches, instantly turning them into ashes, leaving no chance even for a plea. (To be continued.
