Chapter 444: The Thunderstorm Bandits Appear; Sudden Turn of the Tide! (1/2)

“Gate of Good and Evil, open!” Holding himself back for such a long time just for a word from Bai Xiaofei, Yun Mo was the first to attack.

Countless hounds poured out from the wide-open gate and bolted straight towards Tang Bing. When encountering anyone from the Globe Merchant Group along the way, they’d blow themselves up without warning. As explosions rumbled one after another, the situation began to tilt in Bai Xiaofei’s favor.

Meanwhile, the others started attacking. Qiu Mumu’s small squad joined the scuffle, which not only relieved the pressure on the Ancient Yue soldiers but also created conditions for Yun Mo to aid Bai Xiaofei.

The leader of the party, Fang Lei, joined the group surrounding Elder Zhang with his blinding lightning arcs.

“Expulsion Wind!”

“Suppress!”

Elder Zhang and Fang Lei unleashed their skills at the same time. The wind that had just picked up was instantly vanquished.

The ability to control elements was affected not only by one’s level but also by the level of their puppet. And Fang Lei’s Thunderstorm Knuckles were gold rank!

“The Globe Merchant Group actually sent only you? You really don’t have to be in such a hurry to die,” Fang Lei coldly mocked. Around his fists, the forces of wind and thunder began to surge.

With Fang Lei joining the fray, Qin Lingyan, Bai Yue, and Chu Yue were liberated. They immediately retreated to one side and heavily gasped for breath, while at the same time using Starnet Stones to replenish energy. Fighting a higher-ranked opponent was still a little beyond their capacity, but it already wasn’t easy to achieve this level.

“Arrogant claptrap!” Elder Zhang was fierce with his words, but his expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

“As someone who was defeated by me before, you know better than anyone if it’s just arrogant claptrap.” Fang Lei resumed attacking. In flashing lightning, he approached Elder Zhang at a speed so fast it was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

Among Energy Stream puppet masters who were determined to turn their elemental energy into brute offensive measures, Fang Lei was one of the best. Elder Zhang had no plan to forcefully take on his attacks at close quarters. A breeze blew, and Elder Zhang’s body grew erratic as he dodged Fang Lei’s repeated attacks.

The first few were easy. Managing to dodge up to ten was lucky. But when the number of attacks piled up, Elder Zhang began to tire. As his guard slipped for a moment, his shoulder took a fist from Fang Lei.

A terrifying force of lightning energy poured into Elder Zhang’s body from his shoulder. In his panic, Elder Zhang mobilized his origin energy and cast a wind blade. While Fang Lei raised his left hand to block, Elder Zhang quickly withdrew.

Meanwhile, the situation on the other two sides wasn’t very optimistic for Elder Zhang’s party. A new influx of fighters steered the tide completely towards Bai Xiaofei’s side, as they were all experts whose power was almost invincible among puppet masters of the same rank.

Tang Bing, who was facing both the siege of evil hounds and Bai Xiaofei, was already overwhelmed. Unlike Bai Xiaofei, Yun Mo had no such thing as ‘going easy’ in his dictionary. As long as it was someone under Tang Bing’s control, he’d blow them up without hesitation.

Just when Tang Bing’s side was about to lose, another change occurred!

Six beams of light rose from six corners of the plaza, manifesting a crimson barrier that covered the entire area.

At the same time, six domineering energy forces could be felt from the six corners, and before long, six people from the Globe Merchant Group rushed over.
