Chapter 416: Chapter 343: Collision Chapter 416: Chapter 343: Collision Thirty kilometers away from the team, on a low mountain, many people wearing black robes were resting.
Among them, a charming woman with a fiery figure stared blankly at the void in front of her, but in her vision, it was another scene.
“President, the prison carriage is coming.”
The woman observed as she spoke.
Beside her, a man who looked very similar to Wei Jinxiang in the prison carriage was sitting on a large stone at the mountain top, meditating.
It was Wei Jinrui.
And the identities of the surrounding people were needless to say, all were members of the Hundred Flames Association.
“Yang Ting, are you sure Brother Xiang is in there?” Wei Jinrui remained with his eyes closed, asking in a low voice.
Yang Ting replied, “Yes, he’s in the prison carriage on the far right of the three Solid Rock Beasts!”
Wei Jinrui nodded and then fell silent again.
At this moment, a shirtless tall man named Zhang Ping behind him asked, “President, have you decided? This is the Great Flame’s detention carriage!”
Before Wei Jinrui could speak, another shirtless man beside Zhang Ping, Wu Lei, patted his shoulder.
“Old Zhang, what are you saying, of course, we have to do this!
Last time, when the people from Yanluo Country chased us, if it wasn’t for Boss Xiang fighting them alone to buy us time, our Hundred Flames Association wouldn’t have been able to capture Red Flame City!”
Yang Ting, observing the detention team through the Fire Sparrow, also spoke in a deep voice, “Old Zhang, since we have already followed the President here, why are you saying this now?
After this event, at worst, our Hundred Flames Association will scatter first. It won’t be easy for Yanluo and Great Flame to act recklessly in the Xunyang Domain.”
Zhang Ping scratched his head and said, “I was just asking casually…”
“Enough.” Wei Jinrui opened his eyes and stood up, fire flickering in his eyes. “Let’s go, rescue him and retreat immediately!”
Everyone responded, “Yes!”
Wei Jinrui led the way, and the others followed closely behind…
In the escort team, the invisible Tang Jiao quickly rushed over from a distance, returning to her body.
“How is it?” Xiong Chunyang also came to the back of the team. Seeing Tang Jiao return, he asked directly.
“They are here, just on a low hill ahead. There are at least twenty people, and the leader is Wei Jinrui.”
“At least twenty people, good!” Xiong Chunyang’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he leaped forward. “No matter what you do, I’ll go first!”
Seeing Xiong Chunyang rush out like this, Su Yuan and the others didn’t stop him.
Tang Jiao said, “Anyway, it’s best not to let those people get close to the prison carriage to avoid any accidents. There are also people from Manager Wu here; one of us should stay, and the rest go and take care of those people ahead. How about it?”
Su Yuan said, “No problem.”
Lin Chongyun said, “Then I’ll stay to guard the convoy.”
“Are you sure?” Tang Jiao asked unexpectedly.
This was an opportunity to show strength and make contributions.
Lin Chongyun nodded. “Even if I stay, I can support you from a distance.”
Tang Jiao asked, “Magician?”
Lin Chongyun shook his head slightly, and electric light flickered in his hand. A Thunderclap Great Bow engraved with dark runes appeared in his hand.
Lightning danced on the bow, and purple lightning crackled, clearly a powerful Super Blue Star Device.
“Archer, huh…”
This was Su Yuan’s first time seeing an archer. No wonder Lin Chongyun’s perception and insight were so sharp. These are essential qualities for an archer.
Tang Jiao said to Su Yuan, “Okay, let’s hurry over; Xiong Chunyang can’t hold out alone for long.”
After all, there were more than twenty Shining Star Level opponents!
“Alright.” Su Yuan replied casually and then chased after Xiong Chunyang with Tang Jiao…
In the forest, Wei Jinrui led a group swiftly approaching.
It didn’t take long before a fierce-looking burly man appeared in front of them, rushing forward at an astonishing speed, covering tens of meters in a single step!
Wei Jinrui’s eyes narrowed. “They’ve already spotted us and dare to come alone? …Pan Lu!”
“Yes, President!”
A burly man behind Wei Jinrui responded and then charged out.
This Pan Lu specialized in strength. Among the Hundred Flames Association, he ranked in the top five purely in terms of strength.
Seeing someone charging out from the opposite side, Xiong Chunyang subconsciously grinned and slammed his foot down, accelerating even more!
The thousand-meter distance was covered in just a few breaths by these Shining Stars, and in an instant, the two collided heavily.
“Boom!!”
The airwave exploded with a heavy impact sound and the crack of bones happening simultaneously.
Pan Lu’s pupils contracted, and he was sent flying back…
“Old Pan!” The members of the Hundred Flames Association were shocked.
Wei Jinrui flew forward and caught Pan Lu, retreating in the air for more than twenty meters to dissipate the immense force.
“Old Pan, are you okay?” Wei Jinrui asked gravely.
Pan Lu, covering his chest with his left hand, his face flushed red. “I’m fine; be careful, President, this guy’s strength is terrifying!”
Wei Jinrui nodded. Without looking back, he said, “Yang Ting, treat him.”
Yang Ting immediately approached and began treating Pan Lu with the Fire Healing Technique.
Xiong Chunyang, having knocked Pan Lu back, stopped in his tracks.
The reason he was the first to charge out was because of his fierce and combative nature. The second reason was to make an impression.
Although no experts from the Sky Patrol Department were seen following, Xiong Chunyang knew that since this was an entry exam task, their performance would undoubtedly be observed by the experts of the Sky Patrol Department in some way.
However, Xiong Chunyang wasn’t foolish; fighting so many Shining Stars alone would be a death sentence!
Stopping now, he was waiting for the others to catch up.
Xiong Chunyang was certain Su Yuan and the others would arrive.
They would do so not only to make an impression but also to adhere to the code of “not abandoning companions.”
At this moment, having made a strong impression with his first attack, Xiong Chunyang loudly declared, “Mobilizing so many people. What, you think you can rob Great Flame’s prison carriage?”
Wei Jinrui replied coldly, “We don’t want anyone else, just one person. If you hand him over, we will leave. Otherwise, you and your escort team won’t stop us!”
“Ridiculous, thinking you can rob Great Flame’s prison carriage at will!” Saying this, Xiong Chunyang felt a sense of satisfaction.
He had once been an outlaw in the Western Desert, with countless names under his belt and on the wanted list.
Now, years later, responding to the call, he returned to Great Flame, transforming into an official, able to fight against these bandits.
Wei Jinrui’s eyes turned cold. Since reasoning was pointless, there was no need for more words!
“Attack!”
With a command, the many Shining Stars surged forward towards Xiong Chunyang.
Over twenty Shining Stars exploded with overwhelming spiritual power, their potent aura flattening countless trees around them.
“Attacking directly, huh? Swift and decisive. Where are those people?”
Xiong Chunyang wondered but had no fear in battle. With a roar, his muscles bulged, and he charged directly into the crowd!
Each attack on Xiong Chunyang’s body was deflected by his formidable defense, leaving only shallow marks at most.
“Tickles for your Grandpa Xiong!”
With a low shout, Xiong Chunyang swung both fists, breaking the attack of two blade-wielding enemies. He then summoned blood-red energy around him, gathering powerful fist energy in his right hand, becoming even more menacing!
“Cannon Fist, Tiger Mountain!”
After a brief charge, Xiong Chunyang launched himself like a blood-red missile towards Wei Jinrui!
At this moment, Zhang Ping and Wu Lei stepped forward from Wei Jinrui’s sides, their arms engulfed in Red Flame, acting in unison as they attacked Xiong Chunyang.
Double Dragon Burning Sky!
“Boom!”
Blood-red energy and crimson flames clashed violently, and the resulting fierce flames exploded between both sides!
The two shirtless men grunted and retreated, and Xiong Chunyang was also forced back several steps!
Observing the few injuries on his right fist from the explosive force, Xiong Chunyang gazed solemnly at Zhang Ping and Wu Lei.
“Experts!”
Although he hadn’t used his full strength, these two were also clearly not exerting all their power.
After all, the Hundred Flames Association required Shining Stars for entry. They were quite formidable.
But Xiong Chunyang had little time to think as various attacks rained down on him, more potent than before!
Joking aside, the Hundred Flames Association members excelled in attack. They had underestimated Xiong Chunyang’s resilience earlier.
Now, with all forces combined, they aimed to blast this brute into pieces!
Xiong Chunyang kept moving, dodging and counterattacking.
With years of experience in chaotic battles, he was seasoned in dealing with group attacks.
First, he chose to take the weaker attacks because avoiding all was impossible.
Second, he moved toward crowded areas to hinder enemies from freely using long-range attacks.
As expected, fewer members used long-range attacks, forcing many to engage Xiong Chunyang up close with melee weapons.
Despite his prowess, Xiong Chunyang was soon covered in wounds amid the onslaught.
“Where are they? Did they abandon me?”
It crossed Xiong Chunyang’s mind that he might have been hasty. But the increasing pressure from the Hundred Flames Association stoked his inner rage! “Ah!”
Suddenly, a scream echoed, abruptly ending.
Behind him, a would-be assassin keeled over, blood trickling from the left chest.
A woman, appearing from transparency, her jet-black long knife piercing through this man’s heart.
Tang Jiao.
She withdrew her knife and executed a spinning kick, sending him flying.
“Watch out, he has backup!”
Nearby, several turned their attention to Tang Jiao, and the closest one lunged with a spear.
Gleaming light enveloped Tang Jiao, and she vanished again, evading the spear.
“Damn it, where is she…”
Mid-sentence, he felt a chill on his neck, and his world spun into darkness…
After decapitating this man, Tang Jiao dodged again, evading the incoming attacks of several others.
Meanwhile, two dark lines slashed through the air, cutting down two opponents, drenching the area in blood, and filling those remaining with alarm.
