Chapter 1368: Chapter 1368
"Not only that, he said those words probably on purpose for the final boss to hear," Tang Zheng hesitated for a moment before chasing towards the east.
All members of the Warhammer team followed Tang Zheng’s orders through their communicators.
"Someone should be sent to watch the Nuclear Flame," Mu Nianqi still thought Tang Zheng was too soft-hearted, knowing what to do but not doing it.
"Whoever goes is a dead man anyway!" Tang Zheng refused, as the Nuclear Flame was too strong. Newbies would be useless and even the Conquerors would likely get killed, let alone sending the distantly related Ruan Feifei, which he found pointless.
"That guy is really arrogant!" Lu Fan pouted, disliking the tone of the Nuclear Flame.
"If you knew his battle achievements, you wouldn’t see it that way," supported Mu Nianqi who was being helped by Qin Yan, despite coughing, she still gave a brief introduction.
Yan Chiyang led the team and fought against Baldy, the final boss of the Men in Black world, who was extraordinarily strong. The battlefield was a complete mess, with Solar Fire burning everywhere, melting signs everywhere, and hot airwaves covered everything like standing in the desert at noon.
"It seems that Snake is dead, vice group leader, go check it out!" The range of Yan Chiyang’s wild combat was extensive, beyond the reach of even third-order heroes.
"Our mission is to kill Baldy, not to snatch the fire seeds!" The Vice group leader didn’t want to go, finding excuses to refuse, "Besides, there’s a time limit approaching, we should avoid spreading our forces thin."
"I told you to go!" Nuclear Flame frowned, his team was his dictatorship, and the vice group leader’s objection frustrated him.
"The fire seeds might have also been taken by that guy, we could quickly kill him and then chase after that woman!" After hearing their group leader’s icy tone, the vice group leader sweat cold, still daring to advise. If Snake, a first-order hero, got killed by the enemy, going there himself would be like delivering food to them.
"Do you want me to say it a third time!" Nuclear Flame was furious, he didn’t care about any team dynamics; he was a powerhouse who could clear a Trojan World by himself.
As the vice group leader worried about what to do next, Baldy erupted in a final struggle, disintegrating into countless bugs that attacked the enemy.
"Waste!" Nuclear Flame, unable to be distracted, cursed. A halo appeared around him, then shot out light beams that moved along the ground, melting everything they touched, with steam dispersing. For more chapters visit novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Tang Zheng led the chase after the woman, while Shen Qingshuang released the Mechanical Dragonfly to track her first, but the group leader was too fast, leaving them far behind.
Time was of the essence. Tang Zheng didn’t wait for the main group and pushed his speed to the limit. Only the old soldier, Qin Yan, and the physically fit Pang Meiqin could keep up. Lu Fan, riding on a Giant Spider, was significantly left behind.
The second echelon was led by Ruan Feifei, whose lightning had a speeding effect, with Mu Nianqi riding a Velociraptor, resting.
"Wait for us!" Qian Rong pleaded, as the run made her pant heavily, her lungs felt like they were on fire, burning uncomfortably, her throat dry.
The Conquerors paid no heed and sprinted with all their might.
Newbies, fearing being left behind, also ran desperately, but there were still stragglers. A girl with earrings fell, spraining her ankle, calling for help, but her close friends ignored her now.
Seeing footprints and blood stains on the ground, Tang Zheng knew they were on the enemy’s trail and hastily activated his shield.
Better safe than sorry. After rushing about 200 meters, a landmine buried earlier exploded, flames soaring up like a fire dragon, rushing through the passage and leaving everything charred.
Tang Zheng pursued through the flames unscathed, then in less than a minute, continuous explosions sounded, a total of more than a dozen, destroying much of the passage with debris falling everywhere.
Dust filled the air, nearly obscuring visibility. Tang Zheng heightened his senses to the maximum, continuing the chase. After turning a corner, a black light beam suddenly shot out, hitting directly at his shield.
The energy beam collided with the shield, sparks flying everywhere. Tang Zheng dodged, the beam sliced through the ground easily like a military knife.
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, Tang Zheng had seen the enemy – it was the same woman in leather clothes he had seen at the Detention Center.
Unable to shake off Tang Zheng, the woman in leather clothes decided to set an ambush instead of being overtaken, giving her opponent an unexpected blow. The tactic succeeded, but she couldn’t kill him.
The matriarch roared in counterattack, Tang Zheng fired furiously without worrying about energy consumption. This part of the ruins was severely damaged, showing signs of collapse.
The woman in leather quickly withdrew. Her attack was too powerful; destroying the ruins would definitely bury her alive, so she had to carefully choose the battlefield.
Tang Zheng’s shooting skills were superb, nearly two-thirds of the energy spheres could hit the woman in leather. However, she had a dodecahedral golden ion shield pop up around her, spinning and enveloping her. The energy spheres hit it and dissipated directly.
"Another turtle-type!" Tang Zheng was annoyed by opponents with such hard defenses, but he had no choice but to launch a hard attack.
The woman in leather clothes took out a bomb, threw it to the ground, and Tang Zheng opened fire, detonating it, engulfing the passage in flames again.
Of course, neither of them was injured, but the woman in leather knew this tactic was futile and stopped throwing bombs, instead focusing on escaping.
"Still running?" Tang Zheng pulled on his shadow cloak, teleporting fifty meters ahead and appearing in front of the woman in leather, swinging his warhammer fiercely.
The ion shield took the attack, but the woman in leather was also pushed back; she tried to break through, but Tang Zheng stood like a guardian deity, firmly blocking the passage.
While running, Qin Yan suddenly liquefied, disappearing into the ground and reappearing beneath the woman in leather for a surprise attack with her energy gun sting.
The old soldier, clad in alloy armor, held an assault rifle and provided firepower suppression on the woman in leather.
The dodecahedral ion shield spun, blocking all attacks, but the woman in leather was tied up, her rifle firing, and the beams all stopped by Tang Zheng’s shield.
The gravity well descended, binding movements; Daylily appeared in the rear, granting a bonus halo to the three.
The woman in leather blasted a wall attempting to evade Tang Zheng but failed. Although they struggled for over twenty seconds, the threat escalated as the passage crumbled more severely due to energy beams nearly filling the area, and the old soldier’s alloy armor couldn’t withstand it and began to melt. Amidst a life-threatening crisis, he activated Giant Guard.
"Get lost, you bastards!" yelled the woman in leather, carrying the seed, unwilling to battle any longer as men in black would soon arrive and escape would be impossible. Yet these foes were too difficult to shake off.
The three did not waste words, focusing all efforts and fiercely bombarding the woman in leather.
"You forced my hand—Annihilation Angel, activate!" erupted the woman in leather. With a delicate cry, her ion shield spun faster, her leather garment completely decomposed, and then a strange rune lit up on her forehead, followed by a rush of golden liquid, which quickly covered her body, forming a set of futuristic power armor.
The woman in leather’s body was two-thirds active metal, part of the evolved Cybertronians, hence her desperate search for the seed.
She locked her gaze on Tang Zheng; suddenly, beams shot from her eyes, slicing through space as she turned her head toward Qin Yan and the old soldier.
The old soldier’s skin charred and smoked black.
Tang Zheng’s warhammer hit the woman in leather, but this time, a stream of particles leapt from the shield onto his warhammer. Despite intense defense, he felt a numbing sensation.
Suddenly, two metal feather-form wings unfolded behind the woman in leather, dazzlingly iridescent. As she flapped them, dozens of fist-sized energy spheres formed in front of the wings and shot toward the three.
With a vast collapse in the passage and dust scattering, the woman in leather took flight vertically with a flap of her wings, looking up and firing a thick beam, piercing the ceiling.
Tang Zheng grabbed Qin Yan and Lin Weiguo, nullifying gravity, and like a rocket launcher, also shot upwards. Pang Meiqin activated Death Angel, luckily able to fly, saving Tang Zheng much trouble.
With continual stone falling, the old soldier gripped his weapon single-handedly, firing to disintegrate them, and followed the woman in leather’s trail.
With a blast, the woman in leather broke through the ruins and flew from the ground into the air, transformation still ongoing; occult runes emerged above her head, opening a space teleportation gate. A set of green-coated heavy armor dropped down, docking with the power armor on the woman in leather.
Named Annihilation Angel Armor, this air dominator shifted modules to become an artillery type; a massive cannon barrel, like a sword piercing the vault of heaven, aimed at the surface.
"Move!" Tang Zheng had barely shouted before the entire view turned blindingly white.
A blue-white energy beam swept across, altering the colors of heaven and earth as the air chemically reacted from the energy ionization.
Tang Zheng, with his group, activated the Magic Mirror collective teleportation, then they saw where they had been standing; a basketball court-sized crater formed, and it was considered mild. Had the woman in leather attacked more fiercely, the ruins would have been destroyed, burying the group leader and creating even greater devastation.
The woman in leather no longer planned to flee; she aimed to kill these three, already gaining the initiative on this open battlefield.
Floating in mid-air, the woman in leather had a giant energy generator behind her resembling a Ferris wheel, spinning rapidly again; she opted for floating cannons instead of using the main cannon.
Eighteen rod-like objects on her shoulders expelled blue flames for propulsion, detaching and soaring toward the three, the energy beams already sweeping over them.
Tang Zheng and his group dodged, but constrained by the terrain, were completely suppressed, only surviving by bracing with their shields.
The Annihilation Angel hovered in the air, imperiously dominant, the woman in leather reaching behind her back, pulling out two thick cannons, aligning them with one twist to form a battleship cannon, with a sharp ship-slicing sword underneath the barrel, its black blade exuding fierce killing intent.
