Chapter 588 - Rescue (1/2)

The moment their feet touched the ground, Tang Wulin and his companions arranged themselves in their usual team formation. Tang Wulin stood at the front along with Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan. Yue Zhengyu and Xie Xie guarded the sides. Behind Tang Wulin was Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan and Xu Lizhi stood at the very rear.

“Let's go. We're rescuing the civilians,” Tang Wulin said, then led the march toward the train wreckage.

Meanwhile, some of the students from the Imperial Star Luo Academy still hung around in a daze after the vines of gra.s.s had dropped them, unable to make sense of the situation. Others trembled in fear. It was clear that this was their first time facing such a crisis.

Among the students present, Tang Wulin was undoubtedly the calmest. He knew that despite the surrounding destruction and debris, Elder Cai, a Hyper Douluo, was still watching over them. As long as she was present, the enemy's red-grade mecha wouldn't bother with small fries like them. Furthermore, the enemy's numbers didn't scare him one bit. His side also had numerous soul masters and included the mecha squadron sent by the Star Luo Empire. It would be tough, but they would survive this.

The only thing that caused Tang Wulin concern was Mu Ye's absence. The moment they had reached Star Luo, Mu Ye left, saying he had some matters to take care of and they would meet at Star Luo City. If only Mu Ye were present, then these enemies would be nothing to fear.

After witnessing Mu Ye's battle, Tang Wulin was certain that equipped with the special skills of the Body Sect, Mu Ye outcla.s.sed Elder Cai. In Tang Wulin's opinion, he was one of the strongest people on the continent of Douluo.

d.a.m.n it! Tang Wulin cursed his luck. Why the h.e.l.l did I have to go and ride a train? This always happens!

It took no time for Tang Wulin and his companions to reach the front of the train. With a burst of golden radiance, golden scales covered his right arm and the right side of his torso. His blood essence roared as he thrust his claw into the wall of the train carriage, then ripped it open.

“There are windows, you know!” Yuanen Yehui shouted, smas.h.i.+ng open a nearby window and entering from there instead.

“Xinglan, Zhengyu, and Gu Yue, you three stay outside and guard against any stray attacks. Lizhi and Xiaoyan, you two work together,” said Tang Wlin. “Xie Xie, you're going in with me and Yuanen to save people.”

Upon entering the train, the trio was greeted with a carriage in absolute disarray, one that had flipped over multiple times. Cups and plates lay shattered on the ground. There were broken windows and even the occasional bloodstain.

Tang Wulin quickly located a pair of wounded people by the cry of their voices. He carried them out swiftly but gently. Then his companions standing outside the carriage received the wounded, rus.h.i.+ng them away from the wreckage.

By then, the students of the Imperial Soul Master Academy had snapped back to their senses and hurried over to lend a hand.

Before they reached Tang Wulin's group, however, numerous soul cannon sh.e.l.ls penetrated their defensive line, flying toward their location.

“Incoming cannon sh.e.l.ls!” shouted one of the girls from the Imperial Star Luo Academy.

A flash of silver, and Gu Yue teleported from the ground to the roof of the train carriage. Her four soul rings sped around her in circles as she lifted her Elemental Staff into the air. She let out a burst of resplendent light. Dozens of blazing blue fireb.a.l.l.s formed, floating about before shooting out to intercept the cannon sh.e.l.ls.

Ye Xinglan also leaped onto the roof of the carriage, standing guard for Gu Yue. Her knuckles glowed white as she gripped her StarG.o.d Sword.

The cannon sh.e.l.ls exploded above ground. The resulting boom resounded through the air, accompanied by powerful shockwaves.

Specks of starlight came together to weave a giant net in front of Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan, protecting them from the blast.

A moment later, Yue Zhengyu also climbed up to the carriage roof, a tad late to the party. Together, the three of them stood shoulder to shoulder and prepared to intercept any more stray sh.e.l.ls.
