Chapter 798: Desperate Straits (1/2)

After listening to Wei Rong, Starfox’s eyes deepened. “We’ll have to charge out.”

In the distance, Saul and Twin Daemons stopped fighting while Wei Rong’s voice echoed out in everyone’s ears, calling for them to put their shared grudges down and to charge into the heavens together.

Twin Daemons revealed themselves and looked up at the sky. They did not want to remain behind in Millions City either, as this place had become too dangerous.

Suddenly, the twins’ hair stood on end as a sense of crisis sprang up within their heart. They instinctively used the Daemon Slash technique to flee into the void, but it was already too late. A single palm pressed against the twins’ back, reinforced with exceptionally dazzling nine lined battle force.

“This palm is for Sourcepeak Planet.” A low voice entered the twins’ ears and made their scalps turn numb. Next, the twins’ heart quivered, and the void shattered in a spiderweb pattern. There was a soft shockwave that shuddered through space and released a thump against Twin Daemons’ c.h.e.s.t. Then, fresh blood splattered onto the ground.

Saul, Wei Rong, and a few others looked over. This was their first time seeing Twin Daemons’ true appearance, though it was also their last. Cai Jianqiang slowly walked out from behind the fallen twins.

“Sourcepeak Planet’s grudge has been avenged, but what you owe the society still needs to be returned,” Cai Jianqiang coldly said to Saul.

Saul instantly became apprehensive, as he knew that this person was an exceptionally talented fighter who was unrivalled within his generation. Despite knowing all that, Saul still had not thought that Cai Jianqiang would be so terrifying that he could kill Twin Daemons in a single strike. Although there had been an element of surprise to the attack, that palm’s power had absolutely horrified Saul, and he knew that he would have died without question if that attack had struck him instead. “I don’t owe the society anything. Felynn is the one who cooperated with outsiders to force me out.”

“Anything you want to say can be said after returning to Planet Hydrotink,” Cai Jianqiang stated firmly.

Saul was infuriated. “How dare you! As long as the Neoverse Lockbreaker Society has not revoked my position, I am still the Vice President of the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society! Cai Jianqiang, you are merely a one star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker. On just what basis are you qualified to arrest me?”

Cai Jianqiang arrogantly replied, “On the basis of my strength.”

Saul was enraged, and it seemed that communication between the two had broken down.

Wei Rong’s eyes narrowed. Twin Daemons was actually dead, which was actually great for them, but this Cai Jianqiang was absolutely terrifying.

“Be careful!” Lu Yin shouted.

Cai Jianqiang turned around just in time to see Mr. Jun appearing from the void. He had a lockbreaking tool pasted to his forehead, and he hurled a palm at Cai Jianqiang.

“Stop!” Saul tried to intervene.

Cai Jianqiang’s face remained solemn.

Off to the side, the black Undying Bird above Sall Phoenix’s head flew even higher as its five plumes blazed black. Its scorching flames caused the black Undying Bird to continuously expand until it covered all of Millions City. Its high temperature could even burn the sky, but the boundless black flames suddenly compressed into a condensed black Undying Bird whose darkness was so deep that it even swallowed the surrounding light. The runes lines of this black Undying Bird had multiplied compared to earlier, and they were now infinitely close to Elder Lohar’s.

Sall Phoenix haughtily declared, “Junior, the Dark Phoenix family was able to kill our way out of the Innerverse, and our strength is not something that you can imagine. Today, you will become a grieving soul after perishing in our flames.”

The compressed black Undying Bird then shot towards Lu Yin.

Lu Yin’s expression turned grave. His universal armor was able to withstand attacks that exceeded power levels of 300,000, but even then, he felt apprehensive towards this black Undying Bird. His universal armor might be able to block it, but he was certain that he would not have an easy time of it.

Helpless, Lu Yin punched at the ground, as he had seen that there were a tremendous number of rune lines directly beneath him that represented several Enlighters.

Although he did not know how Yuehua Mavis and those few Enlighter had suddenly appeared beneath him, as long as they came out, there would be others to share the pressure of Sall Phoenix’s attack with him.

At the same time, directly beneath Lu Yin, Zhu Tiezhu and the Blaze Engineer similarly attacked towards the surface. Their position had been mysteriously shifted away recently, and they could no longer sense any traces of Qiong Xi'er or that Neohuman Alliance expert. The black mist that had appeared in the air was being blocked by Yuehua Mavis and Villa Mistress Lian while the two men were in charge of breaking through to the surface.

The Blaze Engineer and Zhu Tiezhu immediately controlled their attacks to aim towards the black bird.

An explosion erupted over Millions City, and the entire city shuddered as an earth-shattering inferno filled the sky.

Sall Phoenix had never thought that his attack would be stopped like this, and he was not able to react to the explosion in time, which meant that the aftershock knocked him down.

Lu Yin and the others landed not too far away from Zhu Tiezhu and the rest, and Zhu Tiezhu was delighted. “We can get out now!”

But right after he said that, a tremendous pulling force appeared beneath them. Although Sall Phoenix had already managed to stabilize himself, he was dragged back down again by the force, and it did not let up.

Sall Phoenix growled and tried to break away from the force, but then, Taylor suddenly shouted from further below, “Uncle, save me!”

He was also being dragged underground.

Sall Phoenix hesitated, but it was only for a moment. Still, due to that moment of hesitation, he was also dragged down by that intense pull.

Even Enlighters would find it hard to break free from this force.

When Sall Phoenix landed with a crash, a loud thump rang out. It seemed as though something had covered the space over their heads as the area had been plunged into pitch-black darkness.

“What’s going on?” Sall Phoenix shouted.
