Chapter 540: The Weakened Defense (2/2)
”Dead? Hell no. But, you have indeed spoiled my clothes!” Wang Tong furrowed his brows and inched closer towards Turbolix.
Layered Fist of Tong!
”KOM!”
Turbolix's kicks were too slow to react, and he was dealt a blow squarely on his chest. The impact sent him staggering back until he tripped and fell to the ground. However, he was unharmed, thanks to his nearly invincible body.
Turbolix quickly picked himself up and charged at Wang Tong. When he was close, he rained kicked on Wang Tong from above. Wang Tong clenched his fist, melting the air around his fist into liquid.
”KOM!”
Turbolix only saw a fist before he was dealt a blow in his face.
Turbolix was knocked back a few dozen meters, and when he finally pushed himself up, blood welled from his face. However, he kept walking towards Wang Tong. ”Haha! Haven't I told you that your attacks won't work on me?” Suddenly, Turbolix turned his heels and took off in the other direction: he was running away.
Wang Tong waved his arms forcefully, and Turbolix was jolted by an unseen force in the air as he fell back to the ground. Wang Tong pressed his palm downward and summoned a wave of energy to pin him where he had fallen.
”Wang ... Wang Tong, you can't kill me! Please, I will tell you whatever you want to know. You are the heir of the Blade Warrior… I can help you.”
Wang Tong walked to Turbolix, who was still struggling to get up. He pressed a hand on the latter's mouth and said, ”Be quiet!”
Wang Tong channeled out his soul energy and started to scan Turbolix's mind using soul energy. After finding the fragments of images of Zhou Sisi in his sea of memories, Wang Tong heaved a sigh of relief. She was still alive, and she was still a human.
”Please don't kill me, Wang Tong. I can be your informant; I can be useful to you!”
”Thanks, but no. May you find peace in the next life” Wang Tong said.
A worm like Zerg wiggled its head out of Turbolix's chest and bit at Wang Tong's hand with rows of filed teeth. Wang Tong poked it with only one finger and squashed the Zerg into pulp. Life suddenly drained from Turbolix's face, and in a blink, he died.
Wang Tong had finally ended his suffering. Wang Tong summoned a tendril of fire in between his fingers and lit Turbolix's body ablaze.
…
”Do you think Boss is in danger?” Lun Duo's eyes were glued to the screen displaying battle updates. The last update said that the Zergs had surrounded Battle Wolf's camp.
”Don't worry about him. You know who he is. Plus, he had bought so many bombs. I doubt he will let them go to waste.”
The Battle Wolf traveled light and fast; in just four days, they had arrived in Maersa City.
”What should we do now?”
”Let's bash the gate open and storm in!” Yin Tianzong suggested. He could sense that there were only a small number of Zergs inside the city.
After a while, a few thousand Zergs poured out of the city to meet the besieging forces. Yin Tianzong led a group of warriors to meet the attackers. Yin Tianzong was a master of shields; he carried two tower shields, one in each hand, as he rammed into the ranks of enemies. The heavy shields were decked out with sharp protrusions which skewered and smashed the Zergs wherever they went. Behind the shield and Yin Tianzong were a hundred or so mastery casters, who also rained death onto the attacking Zergs from above.
”Ready... Initiate Divine Burst!”
Ross shouted the command and led another group of warriors into the city.
It only took Battle Wolf less than an hour to take control of the strategic points in the city. Vorenus and a few warriors took an excursion to the Zerg's hatchery and destroyed all the hatchlings.
Sensing that their future generation was at risk, instinct drove the Zergs to swarm the humans with abandon. However, just as Wang Tong had indicated, the production facility boasted a few inches thick steel plates, and held firm under waves after waves of relentless attacks.
