If hit, probably only those in the Ancient Martial Path among the Fifth Rank Ascenders could survive.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Three seconds had already passed.
Thunderlight descended from the heavens!
A triple barrage!
The thunderlight illuminated the despair on the girls' faces.
This squad had just endured a bloody battle. Their spirituality hadn't yet recovered, and their stamina was completely drained.
Even the Moon Princess could only passively accept the fate of her clone's death.
At the critical moment, Lu Zijin raised her hands, and bright crimson spells abruptly lit up on her palms!
Everyone was slightly startled. A Transcription Matrix!
A special Alchemy Matrix capable of storing one's abilities within and activating them later!
BOOM!
A terrifying surge of mental Thought erupted like a tidal wave, instantly solidifying into substance!
It formed a natural barrier, forcibly withstanding the descending Super Electromagnetic Cannon!
Amid the terrifying roar, the three Super Electromagnetic Cannons exploded with devastating blasts.
Inch by inch, they pushed forward!
This was because the ability Lu Zijin released lacked endurance.
It couldn't sustain its power.
It could only delay briefly.
"Run!"
Lu Zijin shouted commandingly.
This was supposed to be her ultimate trump card for survival, yet now she had no choice but to use it to protect her teammates.
However, not a single member of the team moved. Instead, they fished out Blue Blood from their pockets.
They had already reached their limit for consuming Blue Blood.
Although they didn't know why the Ether Association was targeting them,
they clearly weren't the kind to sit idle or abandon their comrades.
"Let me give it a shot."
The Moon Princess hefted her Tang Blade and walked forward coldly.
In this team, she was the unquestionable primary damage dealer. She had an understanding of the Qilin Immortal Palace far greater than anyone else, with incredibly rich combat experience and astonishingly powerful fighting prowess.
Even though that boy was absent, the girl he left behind was simply phenomenal.
RUMBLE!
The three Super Electromagnetic Cannons had nearly torn through the barrier formed by the telekinetically condensed Thought!
However, in that moment, someone shouted, "Everyone retreat! Leave this to me!"
A ghostly figure burst through the snowstorm, advancing as swiftly as a gale, leaving countless shattered afterimages. The figure gripped a Tachi tightly in both hands, slicing through the blizzard with a mournful wail!
"Ghost Swordsmanship: Phantom Sword Dance!"
No one had any idea what absurd catchphrase he was shouting, but he teleported right in front of the roaring triple Super Electromagnetic Cannons. The domain he released froze Space-Time abruptly, plunging the world into a bog-like silence.
Blades of light flashed like a torrential storm, each slash capable of tearing through dimensions.
At last, Space-Time collapsed with a thunderous crash, swallowing up the three raging Super Electromagnetic Cannons!
BOOM!
The frozen Space-Time domain shattered, and the snowstorm howled across the sky.
Lin Lan appeared on the ground in a flicker, his long hair rippling in the wind as he sheathed his blade expressionlessly.
He thought this was the coolest moment of his life.
"How was it?"
He turned his head and asked, "Was I cool or what?"
"Lin Lan?"
Lu Zijin's beautiful eyes widened. The moment she recognized his face, she was filled with disbelief, murmuring, "You? How are you even here? Wait, you're still alive?"
Lin Wanqiu saw that familiar face that she hadn't seen for so long and instinctively covered her mouth.
Her eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up as her bangs fluttered lightly in the wind.
"Zijin, you're bundled up so tightly I almost couldn't recognize you."
Lin Lan turned around and smiled. "Sis, you've grown prettier, and slimmer too."
Lin Wanqiu pressed her hand tightly to her mouth, trying not to cry. She had never had any family from her childhood. The Lin Family that adopted her were a group of crazy maniacs. She had only one younger brother, who relied on her as much as she relied on him.
To save him, she didn't even know how she had survived all these years.
Sometimes, she thought he was already dead.
But no body had been found, neither alive nor dead.
As long as she didn't see a body, she wouldn't give up. She wanted to keep looking forever.
How did that saying go?
If someone important is missing from your life, you might not even know how to talk about yourself to others.
Lu Zijin, after many years, finally met this clingy little brat who used to stick to her.
But instead of being touched, she just shouted, "Behind you!"
Lin Lan spun around sharply.
From the helicopter above, someone jumped down, drawing an iron blade from their Sword Bag and slashing downward!
BOOM!
The surging Qi Force was torn apart.
Lin Lan countered with a backhand Dimension Slash, ripping through the chaotic Qi and severing the unyielding blade!
With a deafening crash, he instantly entered Virtualization, allowing the shockwaves of the Qi Force to pass harmlessly through him.
"Lin Lan, former Night Watcher member, suspected of involvement in some kind of bizarre corrupt ritual. Went missing nine years ago during the mission to explore the Returning Burial Forest, accused of harming teammates and betraying order."
"Moon Princess, former student of Gu Ci'an, an ex-member of the Ether Association. Defected during the Blood Moon Slaughter Incident. Later killed multiple Ether Association investigators and was once at the top of the most-wanted list."
"Lin Wanqiu, Peak City District Branch Minister. Her mind has been corrupted and is teetering on the brink of collapse."
"Lu Zijin, Peak City District Branch Minister. There is now evidence that you abused your position to shelter former Night Watcher members Mu Feng and Lin Lan, as well as assisting former Ether Association member Moon Princess in her defection. At the same time, I strongly suspect your involvement in the Blood Moon Slaughter Incident. I now need to take you all into custody for an investigation."
Zhang Xuzhi was a Sixth Rank Ancient Martial practitioner. His Qi Realm was fully expanded, and his mastery of this power had reached a high level, allowing him to condense and concentrate his aura densely around his body's surface.
