Chapter 1588: Chapter 50 The First Collaboration
The two fleets parted ways, and now it all comes down to luck, betting that the chief will chase the other team.
"Damn, these cowardly Chinese." Failing to make Tang Zheng serve as bait, the French cursed angrily.
"Enough, they’re not fools." Another Group Leader rebuked his ally and launched a smoke bomb, hoping to obscure the tracks of the team and the trees. If the chief cannot assess their strength, he will set his sights on the Chinese, deciding to kill them first before dealing with his own side.
"You need to analyze the chiefs’ mindset; they won’t let any prey escape, so they will kill the weaker ones first," the Group Leader confidently stated. "Attacking the strong will delay them, allowing the others to escape."
The two chiefs, riding on pterosaur mounts, exchanged a glance and pursued different targets.
"Shut up, look at the fine mess you’ve created." His ally was furious, realizing that they were being chased by the powerful Fourth Order British chief, while Tang Zheng faced a weaker Third Order English one.
"How could this be?" The Group Leader was stunned, unable to understand, "My prediction should have been right."
His reasoning was not flawed; it was just that his action of deploying smoke backfired, making the chief think they were cowardly and disguising themselves, thus should be killed first.
There was also the issue of numbers; even with two French teams combined, they had nearly ten fewer people than the Warhammer team. To the chief, numbers equaled combat power, hence the French’s unfortunate predicament.
Tang Zheng’s decision to leave behind a bunch of newbies finally paid off.
"It’d be great if the chief were here!" The remaining members of the Agate Man and Red-Lipped Woman’s team, following the Warhammer team, also managed to save their lives.
"Scram, leave the fleet immediately." Seeing no chance of turning the situation around, the French callously turned on the tailing Brits to attack them.
"You’re sending us to our deaths!" Naturally, the British were unwilling and counterattacked swiftly, but both sides remained on guard, and under ability suppression, the war chariots weren’t damaged.
Boom, the chief leapt from the pterosaur’s back, crashing straight down onto a war chariot, turning it into a pile of scrap metal. Aside from a few quick Conquerors who escaped, the others inside were instantly crushed into meatloaf.
"Everyone, attack together!" Seeing one of his own team’s fleet hit, the French Group Leader yelled furiously, urging others to join the attack.
No one heeded him; the British and another French team were fleeing for their lives, the brief alliance shattered.
"Kevin, do some more damage to the enemy!" The Group Leader cold-heartedly, drew a cross on his chest.
"Continue the retreat, Mu Nianqi and Jiang Xiuming, fight with me!" Watching the chief catching up, Tang Zheng picked only two people, preventing Li Xinlan and Pang Meiqin from staying behind.
"Save up energy, keep the life energy for the Fourth Order English," Dantai understood their sentiment, but the more perilous the situation, the more critical it was to stay calm.
The moment the three of them leapt from the war chariot, they were armed with Hellfire and pounced on the chief.
The chief opened his mouth full of yellow teeth and, after a violent inhalation, let out a tremendous roar. The air rippled as if a stone had been thrown onto a lake surface.
Hellfire perfectly shielded them from the sonic attack.
Mu Nianqi swung his blade, scattering a slew of Wind Blades from the Northern Wind Ring while also unleashing a Death Strike.
Beneath the queen’s feet multiple wedge-shaped text magic circles formed, with dark purple mist spilling out, creating a massive sphere of dark energy that sprouted over twenty black arrows, bombarding the chief.
The chief made the pterosaur dodge, but the black arrows, as if equipped with an auto-tracking system, drew huge curves in pursuit relentlessly.
Boom, boom, the arrows with their corroding effect exploded continuously, leaving temporary black voids in the sky.
Jiang Xiuming launched his mental attack, but it didn’t have much effect.
Above Tang Zheng’s head, a White Dwarf Star emerged, fully suppressing with Gravity Abyss; he wanted to use Gravity Reversal and Devouring, but the chief was rapidly changing positions, requiring too much calculation data, wasting time.
"You apply full suppression; I’ll take the lead." Mu Nianqi’s Power Armor morphed as she unleashed the Witch’s Blade and Tiamat’s Descent; her combat power began to multiply exponentially.
At this moment, Mu Nianqi chose a high-speed aggressive form, sprouting a pair of black metal wings and turning into a falcon, flashing rapidly across the sky. Even with Tang Zheng’s dynamic vision, he could only catch glimpses of the afterimages.
The chief was repeatedly hit, bouncing back and forth like a beaten ball, as Death Breaths detonated non-stop on his body, inflicting numerous wounds.
With a swoosh, Mu Nianqi, like a sharp blade, flashed past the pterosaur’s side. Its ghastly scream abruptly halted, its head severed, blood sprayed.
"Great chance, attack now!" Jiang Xiuming rejoiced, opening fire with all his might. The chief, losing the ability to fly in his fall, couldn’t adjust his position, becoming a live target.
"Don’t get close, it’s dangerous." Mu Nianqi stopped Tang Zheng who was preparing to fight at close quarters after raging, and immediately initiated the Spiral of Destruction.
The magic circle at the Queen’s feet became more complex, and the dark energy materialized into metal dragons, which burst forth from the magic circle and collided with the Great Chief.
With dragon breath, claws, and massive teeth tearing into him, the Great Chief was immediately annihilated in the explosive roar of energy, and the entire space seemed on the verge of collapse.
Tang Zheng’s Gravity Abyss was pushed to the limit, restricting the Great Chief’s movements and leaving him unable to dodge, almost bearing the brunt of the attack.
Boom – the ground was blasted into a big pit by the roaring breath of the dragon, and when the dust settled, it revealed the Great Chief’s tattered corpse, eroded by dark energy, with black flames burning on the skin, emitting a charred smell.
Tang Zheng’s gravity reversal finally had the chance to activate. When Mu Nianqi decapitated the Great Chief, his upper body also exploded into pieces, leaving only his legs behind.
"Are you alright?" Tang Zheng rushed forward to catch the staggering Mu Nianqi, and because he was in such a hurry, his arm happened to wrap around her chest.
Mu Nianqi did not blame Tang Zheng, and just pushed him away without changing her expression, but she felt slightly different deep inside because her chest had never been touched by a man before.
"Didn’t see that coming, this woman is quite something. Could she be a hidden big-breasted girl?" The touch on his arm was good, but Tang Zheng didn’t harbor other thoughts, "Can you walk?"
"No problem." Mu Nianqi took a deep breath and withdrew her Witch’s Blade. Except for her pale complexion, she was largely unaffected.
"Are you two monsters? Too powerful." Jiang Xiuming could feel how strong the British Third Order Great Chief was, and although heavily injured, his ferocity was unparalleled. However, facing this man and woman, he did not even launch an attack before being taken down.
"What’s so boastful about killing a severely injured British Third? It’s a disgrace if it’s not an overlevel challenge," the prideful Mu Nianqi did not accept such a compliment; to her, anything less than challenging stronger opponents was shameful.
"Just as well it didn’t reach the point where you go all out, or else I’d have to think of other tactics," Tang Zheng hadn’t forgotten about the ultimate ability that Mu Nianqi used in Manhattan Central Park on the eve of the Parasite Night. That definitely had the potential to instantly kill a completely healthy British Third.
"I was worried that before his death, the Great Chief might use some means to enhance his combat power, leading to a mutual destruction or serious injuries to us. Otherwise, we really didn’t need to exert too much effort." Mu Nianqi’s caution was justified; if given a chance to breathe, that fellow would use a secret method to temporarily borrow power from the Great Chief. Although the outcome would still be death without a doubt, it would cause harm to the opponent.
"I’m starting to feel a bit more confident about the future. You two really are a good match," said Jiang Xiuming, which made Tang Zheng and Mu Nianqi both look at him.
"Don’t misunderstand, I mean in terms of combat cooperation. Tang Zheng with strong control and meat shield capabilities, and Mu Nianqi with her superior attack power, even against a British Third, they would stand a chance," Jiang Xiuming said enviously, because with Mu Nianqi’s unique prop, her strength was hard to gauge. If she fully unleashed her strength, she would be stronger than the British Third, and her own power had reached that of a British Second.
"The Great Chief is that weak? Lucky Chinese," a Frenchman, watching through a placed Electronic Eye, saw the swift end to the battle by Mu Nianqi and her team, fuming with frustration.
"I’d rather face the Great Chief right now than come across these three people." The group leader was quite perceptive, estimating that if he faced them, he would be finished off in no more than thirty seconds.
"Actually, even without that psychic type, the two of them are strong enough to act unbridled at the British Third Order. Control suppression, meat shield, healing... That Tang Zheng alone is doing the work of several people," someone smart in the squad commented highly on the trio. "That girl hasn’t even used her ultimate ability yet; I estimate she could kill a British Third in one hit."
"You guys still have the leisure to care about others. Kevin’s team is about to be wiped out, what do we do?"
The image from the Electronic Eye showed a British Fourth Order Great Chief going on a rampage.
"I hope Kevin can inflict heavy damage on him." The only comfort for the Frenchman was that another Great Chief had just annihilated the Russian team and was now pursuing the Warhammer team.
Within just five minutes of Tang Zheng and his team returning, the Great Chief mounted on a Pterosaur appeared in the rear view.
"Don’t let him get close!"
With Dantai’s command, all kinds of abilities were unleashed wildly, with rocket shells firing furiously. They didn’t intend to kill the opponent but to buy time, putting more distance between them and the French team. Otherwise, once the Great Chief kills them, the reinforcements would be too far to arrive.
"God bless, Great Chief, go kill someone else first!" the woman with the red lips muttered, having prayed to every deity in the skies.
The Pterosaur in the sky suddenly changed direction, flying towards the direction of the French team’s fleet.
"Did the prayers work?" The woman with the red lips was ecstatic upon seeing the Great Chief leave, as though she had won a lottery of a hundred million US dollars.
"What’s going on?" The French were dumbfounded, "With the two Great Chiefs, we’re definitely doomed."
Some slumped in their chairs, their morale plummeting to rock bottom.
The Great Chief left because the direction of the Warhammer team’s escape led towards another team of Great Chiefs who were hunting their prey. Without a doubt, they would soon collide, and for the sake of maximum war results, it was natural to pursue the French.
The Warhammer team’s joy didn’t last long. After evading the Great Chief, as they were about to switch to a helicopter to leave the area, they saw two Great Chiefs riding Pterosaurs appearing in their view.
"Damn it, is God playing with us?" The woman with the red lips was in tears. If she had a choice, she’d rather face the previous Great Chief. A one versus two battle was a no-brainer.
