Chapter 1357: Chapter 33: Offence and Defence

Mu Nianqi hesitated for a moment, saw that she couldn’t kill the short guy, gave up, and prepared to face Nuclear Flame. Qin Yan still wanted to make an effort, but the absolute acceleration prevented her from killing the enemy instantly.

Lin Weiguo stepped forward boldly, standing in front of everyone, confronting this obviously Chinese-descent tall man; from his ruthless bombing of his own people, it was apparent that he was pretty conceited and arrogant.

Gu Xueqi unleashed the Flame Phoenix, attacking the short guy; it wasn’t to kill him, but a decoy. She didn’t want her identity as a healer to be exposed, for once the battle started, she would definitely be the first target. Gu Xiaohua was very self-aware and knew she couldn’t withstand their attacks.

Gu Xueqi glanced at Tang Zheng; she knew the Group Leader would definitely save her, but she didn’t want to rely on someone else’s rescue for a chance to live.

The short guy, hearing the domineering speech of the Group Leader, couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter, his confidence suddenly overflowing; he broke away from the battlefront.

"Qin Yan, let him go!" Tang Zheng ceased his attack and canceled the Gravity Suppression, staring fiercely at Nuclear Flame. Secretly, however, he was quietly gathering energy with the Magic Mirror.

Qin Yan was not convinced, but she carried out Tang Zheng’s orders thoroughly.

"You’re wise to see it," said the Group Leader. "Be careful, there’s also a busty woman here who can turn invisible!" The short guy relaxed his vigilance a bit, especially when he saw the faces of Tang Zheng’s party, all looking as if facing a formidable enemy, and he became even more proud. After all, having the status of Hero Tier 3, Nuclear Flame Yan Chiyang possessed an absolutely strong deterrent power; anyone seeing him would not act rashly. Such a level of combat, one slight negligence could lead to a complete defeat.

"Group Leader, this kid seems like their group leader; his ability is very strange." The short man was quite talkative, trying to make up for the error of losing teammates by quickly relaying information about Tang Zheng’s party.

Seeing the short guy get distracted, Tang Zheng gave Mu Nianqi and Qin Yan a look. Like a mirage, the military general materialized out of thin air next to Nuclear Flame, his warhammer smashing toward his head, while his left hand drew out his war blade, stabbing toward the heart.

Nuclear Flame swatted at the warhammer, and with a bang, his palm lit up with searing flames that made the air pop and crackle.

The warhammer was hit; even in Hero Mode, the military general had tremendous strength, but he couldn’t withstand Nuclear Flame. His warhammer was sent flying and caught ablaze.

Nuclear Flame leaned forward, his feet jetting out like an airplane, carrying a gust of air as he shot away. The military general sought to give chase but was met with a backward glance from Nuclear Flame.

Two beams of Solar Fire shot from his eyes, piercing the military general’s body and igniting it.

"What a mess, you have no idea how strong this guy is!" Mu Nianqi complained about Tang Zheng’s challenge, but when it came time to fight, there was no hesitation, because if they couldn’t show enough strength to make Yan Chiyang wary, they would all die here.

Lin Weiguo felt tremendous pressure, as if spotlighted by a pack of lions, at any moment he could be dead. The sense of crisis drove him into an explosive state, launching Giant Guard.

Bai Guo wanted to sneak up on Nuclear Flame and launch a surprise attack from the shadows, but just as he popped his head out, six Solar Fires appeared around Yan Chiyang like floating cannons, spinning and shooting towards Natural Stupid.

Natural Stupid’s hair instantly dried and even displayed natural phenomena.

"Qin Yan, Shadow Country!" Mu Nianqi’s Group Leader had once fought Nuclear Flame, so she knew how powerful this guy was.

A black shadow bloomed from beneath Qin Yan’s feet, like a ruptured ink bottle, instantly spreading around, as though entering darkness.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!" Yan Chiyang was annoyed and activated Hero Mode. A circular halo emerged above his head, then burst into flames and surged violently. The surroundings turned into scorched land, with hot air rising continuously and steam hissing from the cracks in the ground.

Shadow Country showed signs of collapse. Nuclear Flame was about to release a dazzling grenade to blind them all, but Tang Zheng preemptively acted.

Tugging on his shadow cloak, Tang Zheng teleported in front of Nuclear Flame. Facing the man at close range was like staring into the sun, scorching his cheeks and making his skin scream in pain.

Nuclear Flame also focused on Tang Zheng, but the moment he looked over, the Magic Mirror’s blinding flash activated. Although he closed his eyes in time, he still assumed a defensive posture, facing three Hero Mode enemies; even being conceited, he was cautious.

The short guy breathed a sigh of relief, grateful it wasn’t him under this pressure. But he was mistaken; in the next breath, Tang Zheng used the Magic Mirror to teleport beside him, immediately sending out a Gravity Well.

"Not good, he’s targeting me!" The realization struck the short guy, but it was too late to escape. Not to mention his temporary blindness from the flash, the Gravity Well’s constraints were obviously much stronger, and Tang Zheng was iron-hearted about making an example of him.

The short guy’s other senses expanded to their limits, listening for Tang Zheng’s movements, though he was quickly retreating towards Nuclear Flame’s side. If he could get close, he’d be safe.

"I guessed you’d do this!" Because of the absolute acceleration, Tang Zheng couldn’t touch him, but he could predict that in such a dangerous situation, the short guy’s options were few. So it was almost like he intentionally bumped into him, colliding right with Tang Zheng.

The Gravity Well couldn’t cancel out absolute acceleration, but Tang Zheng wasn’t working on that front. He feigned a large attack, creating wind pressure to give the short guy a sense, then forced him to dodge in the desired direction.

The short-statured one was temporarily blinded and facing Tang Zheng, the pressure was immense, managing to dodge was already good, who would have thought it would be a tactic, waiting for the next wave of attacks, but what came was a silent gathering of burning energy.

The short-statured one’s shield had long been shattered, so they were directly ignited, their hair catching fire, screaming in agony.

Tang Zheng still didn’t get close, firing an impact beam, and, combining it with the restraint of a gravity well, hit the short-statured one’s head accurately, blowing it apart.

"Kid, you’re looking for death!" Nuclear Flame heard the short-statured one’s scream and knew he’d been fooled, tried to call for reinforcements, but was tightly entangled by Mu Nianqi and the others.

Boom, Nuclear Flame entered Skyfire Mode, and the surrounding air immediately distorted due to the high temperature, even the walls and ground started to melt.

Bai Guo was sent flying with one blow, coughing blood and rolling out, Gu Xueqi couldn’t care to disguise anymore and quickly ran over to treat her.

If it wasn’t for Qin Yan and Mu Nianqi’s desperate efforts, Bai Guo would have been doomed. Lin Weiguo focused on defense, but it was still not easy, his protective clothing was scorched, his arms, which bore the Giant Guard, were scalded black, covered with blister the size of fingernails, looking extremely disgusting.

Qin Yan was also a defense type, however, half of the Shadow Country had collapsed, cracks everywhere, Mu Nianqi was the worst off, spitting blood and tumbling in the air, also getting slashed by a knife, one of her clones was blown apart, she had borne the brunt of the attack.

"Thank goodness, at least one clone did not die in vain." Mu Nianqi, seeing the short-statured one killed, her dissatisfaction with Tang Zheng lessened.

Seeing the comrade fall in less than three seconds, broken by Nuclear Flame, Tang Zheng’s eyes narrowed, full firepower engaged, clashing with him.

Nuclear Flame was like a dazzling sun, naturally carrying flash grenades, anyone who looked at him, even wearing sunglasses, would suffer vision damage, which would inevitably lead to a decrease in combat power.

The battered war generals appeared, striking hard from behind, the Ouzhou Eagle screeched, flying out of the ring, colliding with Nuclear Flame, the cloned called by the Crystal Heart were not willing to be lonely either, of course, the four female musketeers also appeared, launching a group attack.

Nuclear Flame saw Tang Zheng suddenly summon so many helpers, his offensive did not stagnate but grew even more fierce, of course, the burden added to Tang Zheng was inevitably less.

Tang Zheng wanted just this effect, to use these cannon fodder to distract Nuclear Flame’s attention, then kill him with his main body.

The two’s attacks were extremely fast, in Gu Xueqi’s eyes, only afterimages remained, unable to see clearly, she couldn’t even block the radiation from Skyfire Mode and hurriedly dragged Bai Guo back.

The two retreated, and a huge, flesh-peeling wound appeared on Nuclear Flame’s torso, blood gushing fiercely; that was torn apart raw by Tang Zheng, besides that, there were no other injuries, but his eyes looking at Tang Zheng grew solemn.

Tang Zheng was gasping for breath, his hair was singed, shield shattered, his black suit burned to ashes, and the Xuanwu Protective Clothing even had a tear in it, if not for its resistance, he would have been seriously wounded.

Nuclear Flame stared at Tang Zheng, put on the protective clothing at his waist, and pulled up the zipper, if he overplayed his hand, even if he killed the opponent, he would be seriously injured himself.

Tang Zheng wouldn’t take such an advantage from his opponent, waiting for him to get dressed, his mind, though, was thinking of tactics, the enemy was too strong, a Tier 3 Fearless, he would absolutely crush him without a doubt.

Qin Yan’s group also gathered around Tang Zheng, awaiting the opponent’s strike.

As Nuclear Flame was about to make a move, a call came through the earpiece.

"Group Leader, the target has been killed, but we still have three hours left on the clock, whatever happens, please prioritize the bigger picture!"

"This time, I’ll let you go!" Yan Chiyang dropped the tough talk and leaped into the air, then, his whole body turned into a ball of light and disappeared from view at a speed surpassing the sound barrier.

Yan Chiyang’s team was also on a time-limited mission, if they couldn’t complete it, even if they killed Tang Zheng’s squad, they would be obliterated, so he had to leave.

"Damn, was that the strongest guy we’ve run into yet?" Lin Weiguo’s mouth tasted bitter, "Are all the opponents in the Holy Land like this?"

"What do you think?" Mu Nianqi gave the Old Soldier a glance, "In the Holy Land, only heroes of Tier 2 and Tier 3 are the absolute main force, Tier 1 is mere cannon fodder, but don’t feel too down, this guy is different from the rest, his ability is too overbearing, it’s a rare S-level!"

"Do you know him?" Qin Yan was not afraid.

"He’s fought with our Group Leader." Mu Nianqi didn’t want to go to the Holy Land and didn’t want to talk about those topics.

"Did your group leader die?" Lin Weiguo was very curious, "You must have been to the Holy Land, right?" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian to cast your votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
