Chapter 324: 131. Intercept Sky Ring

Bang!

Youhe Lai tumbled down the hillside, sliding solidly from the slope. His complexion was unpleasant; he had just received a shield strike from the Black Knight directly on his kidney, unprotected by armor, causing him to bleed from his kidneys instantly.

Although... the armor actually wouldn’t have provided much protection, but could his mood easily settle after being humiliated by Black Whale, who was still a Mortal?

"Black Whale, just wait! Sooner or later, I will slaughter you..."

Leaning on a cane made from Zonia’s spine, he shakily stood up, gazing at the blizzard around him, momentarily bewildered.

—Lost.

Youhe Lai didn’t want to admit it, but it was undeniable.

After losing sight of Black Whale, it would take him several hours to relocate him, giving Black Whale ample time to escape.

Damn it, why not continue fighting me head-on!

That guy chased me away only to run away... What was the reason behind it?

As Youhe Lai reflected, he suddenly calmed down.

’That guy isn’t selfish or cowardly; him suddenly riding alone into the Outer World on his motorcycle must mean something important happened to someone else.’

Black Whale was charitable, daring to stand against the suppression of Sky Ring engaging directly in front of projectiles; with his physique, Youhe Lai even suspected he was nearly ready to step into Gamma Rank.

If that were true, a body of Gamma Rank combined with the power of the Secret Society—Youhe Lai became vigilant for a moment.

He would lose.

He couldn’t let that guy advance to the Gamma Rank; otherwise, he would certainly lose to him.

Although Host often spoke in riddles, Youhe Lai knew he never lied.

He had nearly been killed by Beta Rank’s Li Aozi himself... had it not been for the Ether Blood suppressing the situation, that drill would have likely shredded his chest.

At that moment, he had been paralyzed by the frenzy of the fight, but reflecting on it now only induced fear.

If it weren’t for the Ether Blood... would he have been easily slaughtered by Li Aozi?

Similarly, with a powerful physique like Gretto Yage who ascends to Gamma Rank and receives Ether Blood from the Secret Society, he would surely unleash terrifying power.

’Can’t wait any longer, I must act fast!’

Thinking it through, what else is important recently?

—Li Aozi wreaking havoc at the Nine Dragons Gathering.

With that thought, Youhe Lai’s ideas fell into place immediately.

Yes... Li Aozi, Li Aozi, haven’t all recent incidents been because of this guy?

The Sky Ring People even dispatched entire army units to eradicate Li Aozi.

And Gretto was broken out of prison while Li Aozi was raising chaos at the venue.

No matter how you look at it, isn’t it all just too obvious, too coincidental?

Red Squad didn’t break someone out of jail earlier or later; just as Li Aozi started causing trouble and killing, on this side they pull off a jailbreak, and as soon as Li Aozi runs to the Outer World, Gretto also runs to the Outer World...

"Li Aozi...that guy must be familiar with Gretto; at least he knows him and has a collaborative relationship,"

Youhe Lai snorted coldly.

What a joke, such a flawed plot, isn’t it just a diversion?

All talk of nuclear bombs and provocations is nonsense, Li Aozi’s ultimate goal from the beginning was Black Whale.

"Dream on, Li Aozi; you might be dim-witted, but you sure are scheming,"

Youhe Lai’s gaze turned fierce as he bared his Shark Teeth, locking onto the moving direction of the Sky Ring Troops.

"Just wait, Li Aozi, you and Black Whale, you both belong to me!"

Buzz—

The roar of the motorcycle disrupted Li Aozi’s thoughts. He shook his head, and Yawen’s sudden confession did not affect his judgment; he neither accepted nor rejected, only uttering, "Is that so? I am looking forward to our next meeting," keeping his distance with these words.

Something definitely was wrong with Yawen, she was in a poor mental state. It would be good to call her over for a face-to-face discussion.

"Sorry, I encountered a madman on the road; thanks for waiting,"

The towering man shrouded in black Exoskeleton Armor approached Li Aozi, removed his helmet, revealing a mature and stable face:

"Gretto Yage. Pleased to meet you, I look forward to your guidance."

"Thank you for coming, I am Li Aozi."

Gretto reached out to shake hands with Li Aozi, the men wasted no time, Li Aozi immediately briefed him on the situation:

"The outlook isn’t optimistic; a whole regiment of Sky Ring Warriors is marching towards us. We have observed a minimum of twelve Mobile Armors, a fully mechanized unit, including an aerial support division."

"At this scale of engagement, several fighters of Gamma Rank wouldn’t suffice," Gretto also became grave, "For small countries, this is the kind of military force that could annihilate a nation."

"Yes, that’s why I’m searching everywhere for assistance," Li Aozi glanced at the distant storm, "The Sky Ring Warriors use natural disasters as cover; reconnaissance drones can’t gather detailed information, our only option here is to stage a direct defensive battle, otherwise, we’ll both be consumed by the disaster."

"What do you plan to do?" Gretto wanted to hear the young man’s opinion.

Frankly, from what he had seen all the way, a disaster stretching thousands of kilometers effectively eliminated any possibility of a surprise attack, slightly careless and the ambushing team might be buried by the disaster.

Guerrilla warfare was even more unreliable; where could you find cover and terrain in the Outer World, relying on bipedal universal human carriers for transportation, a few hundred meters out and they’d be blasted to death by Mobile Armor.
