Infinite Ebullience
Chapter 811 - 74: The SSS Grade Ultimate Ability

Listening to the whistling of the bullets as they zipped by, sparking off the concrete ground and igniting Mars, both the bald leader and Liu Liu’s hearts nearly stopped beating.

With Cheng Cheng tucked under his arm, Dantai rushed into a building they had already strategized to enter; as for the cries for help coming from behind him, it was as if he didn’t hear them at all.

The sound of horse hooves thundered closer, and as the cavalry finally caught up, galloping within thirty meters, the bald leader’s luck ran out. A dozen bullets hit their mark, piercing his protective clothing and embedding into his flesh.

The impact of the shots made the bald leader stagger, and although he didn’t fall, he started to feel dizzy as he lost blood. Seeing no chance to escape, he turned aggressive.

"If I’m going to die, you’re not getting out alive either," the bald leader said spitefully, pointing his submachine gun at Liu Liu’s legs, ready to use her as bait in the hope of buying some time.

Just as the bald leader was about to pull the trigger, his head jolted with a sharp pain as if a hammer had struck him on the crown. He then saw Dantai looking back with a cold glance while raising his Thunderstorm rifle.

Zi, zi, two thunderballs were fired, with Dantai attacking him.

"No!" the bald leader had barely shouted when the thunderballs hit him in the legs, causing him an instant pain, his body shrank, and he collapsed to the ground.

The bald leader’s legs were blown off, but even so, he desperately pulled the trigger, determined to take someone with him in death.

A stream of bullets hit close to Liu Liu, but since he had no experience with shooting, the bald leader’s shots went astray. He had no chance left; as the first cavalryman rushed past him, they turned in the saddle and sliced a tachi across his neck. The following cavalry speared his rolling skull with a yari, lifting it up while others stabbed their long spears into the bald leader’s body, dragging him along in a frenzied run.

In front of the building, the cavalrymen dismounted and pounced on the main entrance, their armor clanging against each other as they moved quickly, creating a sound that was truly intimidating.

The injured Liu Liu, even in protective clothing that doubled her physique, could never outrun the Demonic Shadow Cavalry. Within thirty seconds, they caught up with her, thrusting a long spear into her body and lifting her up.

As pain radiated through her body and blood flowed down the gun-blade, Liu Liu fired her submachine gun, splattering the heads of the cavalrymen. She too fell, and as the cavalry surrounded her, she knew she had no chance of survival and furiously hurled insults at the monsters.

After throwing her empty clip submachine gun, Liu Liu had nothing left and, in desperation, threw her only soul shard at the Demonic Shadow in front of her. Suddenly, with an explosion, the monster’s body was blown to smithereens, scattering limbs everywhere, and then dissipated into black smoke.

Liu Liu was stunned and hadn’t yet understood what had happened when several long spears stabbed her, killing her on the spot.

Dantai, climbing the stairs, witnessed this scene and frowned. It seemed soul shards had other effects as well.

Lu Fan was clever, fighting and fleeing along the streets. After running for a while and realizing she couldn’t shake the cavalry, she immediately changed her strategy. She decisively dived into the buildings on either side, and the cavalry, of course, dismounted and rushed in. They could catch up with unenhanced newbies, but against Lu Fan with a mount, they were left far behind.

Lu Fan ran to the rooftop and escaped using a rope and glider, completely losing the cavalry. The little loli curved a triumphant smile on her lips before dashing toward the Castle Tower to aid her uncle.

Tang Zheng and his group were pulled into Takeda Shingen’s ultimate ability, Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain, which drags any enemy into an Illusory Realm to face the trampling charge of a hundred thousand Kai Cavalry in three waves.

Facing the cavalry’s front line that approached rapidly like a blazing cloud, even Ruan Feifei, confident as she was, looked serious, her face beaded with fine sweat.

The Monkey King waved his hand, and the Ruyi Golden Cudgel smashed into the cavalry, blasting a large gap. From above, it looked like a grand scroll painting that had gained an additional patch.

The cavalry took out their Bronze Cannons and fired a volley thundering like a thunderbolt.

"Xin Lan, Ice Wall." Tang Zheng’s Light Defense Shield came to life, protecting the young woman.

The young woman did not disappoint; with a flick of her left hand, a torrent of water gushed out, turning into a thick barrier over ten meters wide before it even hit the ground. It stood like an ancient wall from history in front of them all.

Bang, bang, tens of thousands of bullets hit the ice wall half a meter thick, blasting off chunks of ice. In the blink of an eye, a layer was shaved away, leaving the wall teetering.

Li Xinlan didn’t dare slacken her pace; she reinforced the Ice Wall while her life energy drained away, bringing on feelings of dizziness as Tang Zheng supported her waist.

After the first wave of cavalry passed the group, they stirred up an imposing wave of noise. Song Huiqiao nearly collapsed on the spot in fear, and some of the errant cavalry even crashed directly into the Ice Wall.

If not for the Monkey King’s Gold Hoop tearing a hole in the first wave, creating an opening, and without Li Xinlan’s strong Defense, the impact of that wave would have left no more than five survivors. Beat-level Conquerors like Yu Manli were helpless against such supreme attacks; as they say, in the battle among Conquerors, besides strength, one also needs sufficient luck.
