Chapter 842: Chapter 852: Vanishing into Thin Air! (3 more)

"Open fire, now!" Giger shouted from a distance.

Just as the words left his mouth, it happened in an instant.

The missile-loaded trucks began raising the missiles at their rear.

At the same time, the tanks started adjusting their aim.

Bombers in the sky readied their payloads.

All their firepower was prepared.

"Fire!" Giger commanded.

In an instant, everyone began to open fire.

The missiles from the trucks spewed flames and shot skyward in an arc, descending straight toward the town.

The tanks fired simultaneously, and the bombers unleashed their bombs without hesitation.

Every weapon of destruction was aimed directly at Tang Zhong.

From every direction, weapons converged on Tang Zhong’s location.

The sky was densely packed with streaks of fire.

Tang Zhong lay on the ground, staring up as the bombs rained down from the sky.

His first instinct was to dodge them immediately, but he couldn’t move at all.

Was he going to die again?

Tang Zhong had thought that killing Hu Gego and surviving was a stroke of fortune, but he never anticipated encountering another life-threatening situation so soon.

If only he could move now, he could activate his Blood Power to resist—even just a little. But he was immobilized, the aftereffects of burning through his Blood Power earlier now fully manifesting.

"Am I really going to die this time? But I don’t want to die!"

"If only I could survive. Oh, how wonderful that would be."

The missiles, rockets, and bombs in the skies bore down on him relentlessly.

"Live. I must live," Tang Zhong muttered.

He clenched his fists tightly, willing his Blood Power to activate, but there was no response.

Still, nothing. It wasn’t working.

The only thing keeping Tang Zhong alive was his sheer, unyielding willpower.

And at that moment, in his spine, the strange stone from Brick City with the power of Instantaneous Movement suddenly began to flicker. Fused with his spine, it caused his entire backbone to glow with a blue light.

As the moment arrived for all the bombs to detonate, the blue glow from his spine enveloped Tang Zhong in its shimmering embrace.

Something extraordinary occurred.

Tang Zhong’s entire body suddenly vanished into thin air.

At that exact moment, countless bombs and rockets struck the ground, one after another, obliterating everything. The thunderous cacophony of explosions rang out endlessly, accompanied by flames bursting outward from the center.

The inferno swept through the area in an instant.

The deafening roar of the massive explosion pierced the heavens, as the flames raged and consumed everything in their path.

What had been the town of Woer moments ago was now completely gone.

The ground trembled violently, cracking open with countless fissures, as if it had been struck by a mega-earthquake.

The entire settlement was destroyed in an instant.

All that remained was a massive crater.

From afar, Giger looked on, the corners of his mouth curling into an icy smile. At such an apocalyptic level of destruction, that man, Tang Zhong, was surely dead.

Because even the number one name on the Black List would be reduced to ash before such modern weapons. All that remained now was to wait for the fires to subside and collect soil samples from the site. Without a doubt, Tang Zhong must have been obliterated, his flesh melded into the ground beneath him. Giger just needed to analyze the components of the soil for traces of Tang Zhong.

At that moment, a sentry approached Giger. "Lord Giger, it seems people from Xuan Country are heading this way nearby."

Giger’s face darkened instantly. "Who is it?"

"It’s an embassy vehicle. But as for who’s inside, we don’t know." The sentry replied.

"Ignore them," Giger remarked.

Giger felt fortunate that Tang Zhong was dead. If any word about Hu Gego’s death leaked out, it would spell his own doom. With everyone now exterminated, he sneered coldly at the columns of flame rising into the sky before him.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Woer Town, a small convoy of vehicles came to a screeching halt.

The car doors swung open.

Old General Peng Yuan jumped out of a vehicle and immediately sprinted toward the town’s remnants.

Zhang Changgong and others followed closely behind, not daring to pause for even a moment.

Ever since arriving in Ruida State, they had made haste toward Woer Town.

"Hurry, we absolutely must ensure Tang Zhong’s safety!" General Peng Yuan barked.

Memories surfaced in his mind, and General Peng Yuan quickened his pace even more. He had already lost one prodigy in the past. Losing another was simply out of the question.

But as they reached the crest of a hill, they saw the layers of flames ahead, the ground completely transformed into a great crater.

The sight left them all utterly speechless.

General Peng Yuan froze in place, unmoving.

The others, trailing behind, stared at the scene, their brows furrowing one by one.

They, too, saw the walls of fire.

They looked back at the obliterated Woer Town—now nothing more than ruins.

"This... How could this be?"

"Wasn’t Tang Zhong in that town? If the town’s gone, then where is he?"

No one could see Tang Zhong, but at the same time, they couldn’t ignore the trucks bearing missiles, the tanks, and the high-flying bombers lingering nearby.

Piecing together what they saw, they instantly grasped the situation.

Especially after catching sight of Giger. Their expressions grew darker and darker.

Those experienced in international affairs knew all too well what kind of person Hu Gego had been.

"Tang Zhong... could he really be dead?"

"Dead...?"

The thought sent shivers running through everyone around.

General Peng Yuan, in particular, was completely immobilized.

"How could this be? Am I late again?"

"Why?"

At that moment, General Peng Yuan’s face was filled with torment and guilt.

Zhang Changgong, standing nearby, overheard General Peng Yuan’s murmurs and immediately interjected, "This time, it’s not your fault!"

"No, it’s still my fault. Last time, because I hesitated, I lost Lian Qiang. This time, I’m late again, and now I’ve lost Tang Zhong..." General Peng Yuan replied.

The name "Lian Qiang" brought silence among the group.

That name carried weight—it was legendary within the Dragon Group. Lian Qiang was once a talent even greater than Azure Dragon, a disciple General Peng Yuan had been particularly proud of. Lian Qiang was also highly renowned on the Black List.

But during a mission, he had perished. General Peng Yuan had tried to rescue him but was just a little too late. Now, the same tragedy was repeating itself with Tang Zhong.

Zhang Changgong knew the significance of this. His heart ached, too, because Tang Zhong was the only heir of his good brother, Tang Zongyao!

"I... I’m going to make Giger pay!" General Peng Yuan suddenly snarled, his fists clenched in fury.

This time, Tang Zhong had fallen right under his watch—something he would never forgive.

Once before, Lian Qiang had been murdered, and though General Peng Yuan hadn’t sought vengeance back then, this time, he would not stand idly by.

He turned on his heel and stormed toward Giger.

Everyone around was stunned and quickly rushed to follow, not daring to stray a single step—General Peng Yuan was the pillar of the Dragon Group, and they couldn’t afford to lose him.

Meanwhile, back at the ruins of Woer Town, amidst the flames...

The previously vanished Tang Zhong suddenly reappeared, looking exactly as he had before disappearing.
