Chapter 86: Encounter (2/2)
He had known that William was no ordinary person from the beginning, but it was only now that he understood that this formidable man from the Summit of Peaks was a true Champion rank expert! It appeared that, during the night he met William in the wasteland, he truly had crossed the line between life and death and returned.
A harsh glimmer of light erupted from Bai Longjia’s eyes as he stared closely at the golden-haired man walking toward him. Emphasizing every single word, he exclaimed, “The Summit of Peaks! Are you William?”
William’s face cracked into a bright, sunny smile, and his bluish-gray eyes looked translucent, as if flowing with light under the night sky. His voice resounded through the air, its deep timber seemingly resonating with the pulse of the world.
“It is I. I heard that the Bai Family produced quite the impressive group of youths this generation and that you, Bai Longjia, are among them. This is the perfect opportunity for me ascertain if that is true! That being said, it would be nice if I could check out your sister’s abilities too.”
A vacant look replaced the sharpness in Bai Longjia’s eyes. His voice lost all hint of emotion as he gradually lowered his voice until it became monotone, robotically saying, “If my sister were here, not a single one of you foolish clowns would be able to leave here alive, let alone make such utterly irrational boasts!”
A serious expression spread across William’s face when he saw Bai Longjia’s appearance. He stopped mid-stride and said, “I’d only find out after fighting her, right?”
Bai Longjia apathetically said, “You’ll have to go through me first!”
He turned around and yelled, “Potian, take them away to the camp of the expeditionary army.”
Wei Potian hesitated for a second, but ultimately shouted, “Yes, sir!”
“Let’s go!” he yelled to the youths behind him. “We must not become a burden to the general!”
The youths ran away at full speed.
Bai Longjia took a step to the side, and his figure suddenly appeared about a dozen of meters away from where he stood earlier. He now stood in the middle of the street, barring the path of both William and the human-faced arachne. He slowly spread his arms apart, and a pair of pristine white wings suddenly extended from his back. They flapped up and down in a lifelike manner.
William inhaled deeply as the figure of a giant golden wolf several meters tall suddenly appeared behind him! Like a night wolf praising the moon, he let out a long howl then charged at Bai Longjia with boundless might!
Bai Longjia clapped his hands together and pushed them outward from his chest. William unleashed a punch and he met it head on. When fist struck palm, the entire district seemed to shake from the resulting shockwave andseveral tall buildings suddenly rumbled and collapsed around them. Countless bloodcurdling screams resounded from the crumbling buildings and the subsequent ruins.
Bai Longjia staggered backward a few long steps and abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood. Every time his feet hit the limestone-paved street, it cracked under pressure and caved in to create multiple deep pits. William didn’t fare much better, having flown horizontally backward like a cannonball. Although he ultimately managed to steady himself after flipping through the air a couple of times, the giant golden wolf shadow behind him became distorted. A moment later, it disappeared.
However, several lines of black sword aura had flown toward Bai Longjia under the cover of the night sky. The moment they struck his wings, white feathers scattered everywhere and a fountain of blood erupted from his body! Although the wings were obviously an illusion conjured from origin power, Bai Longjia’s body reflected any damage they took.
Bai Longjia let out a fierce roar and spread his arms. Countless illusory, platinum palms instantly filled the area and crushed the lines of black sword aura near him. The human-faced arachne groaned softly as blood sprayed out of the air hole in his mask.
Even though he was facing two opponents at the same level as him, Bai Longjia stood in the middle of the street, tall and proud. He didn’t take another step backward..
The human-faced arachne suddenly sneered at him. “Did you really think those little fellows would be able to escape? I already prepared a grand welcoming party for them!”
The moment he heard this, Bai Longjia’s expression finally cracked.
Just then, while William had backed off, he happened to head toward the rooftop that Qianye was hiding on. The distance between them shrank to a few hundred meters in an instant. By this point, William had enough time to regulate his breathing and resummon the illusory golden wolf.
Yet, all of a sudden, William turned around looked at Qianye’s hiding spot.
Caught by surprise, Qianye closed his eyes just before his enemy could see him. He lay completely flat on the roof, not moving a muscle, but at the same time, he carefully channeled the Combatant Formula and exposed a tiny bit of his origin power. He was gambling on William being too caught up in a Champion rank battle to divert his attention to an insignificant rank three small fry.
As expected, William didn’t pay him any further attention after an initial sweeping glance. After that, Qianye slowly backed away and slid down the rooftop, then vanished into the night.
Meanwhile, Wei Potian ran down a long street at top speed. He suddenly came to a stop and raised his right hand to stop the young rookies following closely behind him. He examined the empty street before him cautiously.
The street was unusually quiet. Half the buildings on both sides of the street were empty to begin with, and now there wasn’t even the slightest bit of light in them. Only a few street lamps bathed the quiet street with yellow light. This scene looked unfathomably cold and desolate.
Before any of the Broken Winged Angel soldiers knew it, a shroud of thin gray mist slowly spread across the street. Black figures walked out of the mist one after another and surrounded the group of greenhorns.
A young man emerged from amidst the many black figures. He had a pale handsome face, and with just a glance, it was obvious that he was a high ranking vampire. The young vampire wore an evil smile on his face as he pointed at Wei Potian and said, “Today’s bait shall be mine!”
Wei Potian’s heart immediately sank. All of the enemies that had shown up were at least rank three vampire warriors, and this higher vampire was actually rank six. This force was definitely enough to swallow them whole.
The Broken Winged Angels were definitely elites, but the dark races had elites of their own. The descendants of those reputable clans were just as good as they were.
Although Wei Potian’s heart was heavy, he showed no fear on his face. He sneered at the vampire and exclaimed, “Yours? Aren’t you afraid that we’ll break your canine teeth?”
The young vampire’s face darkened as he stared closely at Wei Potian. Suddenly, his expression changed into an eerie smile that sent chills down Wei Potian’s spine.
“I suddenly feel as though giving you the Embrace isn’t a bad choice,” he said excitedly. “You’ll listen to my orders from now on, okay?”Previous ChapterNext Chapte
