Chapter 280 The Sister-Obsessed Knight Arrives
Black Cloud Village was already engulfed in a raging inferno.
Only the ancestral halls in the core area remain impregnable and have been unable to be breached for a long time.
Ye Long, who had just broken free from his seal, was leading the second squad of the 749th Bureau when they were blocked outside the shrine by a bizarre "monster" that was half mechanical and half biological. The rebels inside the shrine called this thing the "Ancient Colossus," an evil artifact brought out from the depths of the Abyss by the Gu Yue family.
"Tsk, this thing, is it some kind of ancient artifact?!"
Ye Long gritted his teeth, his fists slamming with immense force onto the metal gauntlets of the ancient giant.
But his punch, with the force to shatter an entire granite block, struck the Colossus's cold, iron-skinned arm without leaving even a white mark.
"Deputy Director, should we retreat first?"
The vice-captain is a top-tier fire-type superhuman who can breathe out a dark, ghostly flame that is said to "ignite everything."
He continued to spew surging black flames at the Colossus while his face turned deathly pale as he cried out in alarm.
But this terrifying flame, which could ignite even water, was like fireworks hitting concrete when it landed on the Colossus, only causing a few scattered sparks and not even the slightest damage.
"We've just made contact with the Great Xia military command! As long as we can destroy the 'core' inside the ancestral hall that controls the countless Gu worms covering the mountains, the main force can arrive within two hours and wipe out the Black Cloud Stronghold rebels!"
The reconnaissance team member gritted his teeth and added, "If we let these people escape today, they'll disappear into the deep forests of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and finding them all again will be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack!"
Upon hearing this, the team members, despite their already exhausted bodies, gripped their weapons once more.
Some of them had been tortured by the Black Cloud Stronghold for three days and three nights, and were now holding on by sheer willpower.
"If only the bureau chief were here..."
Ye Long rubbed his throbbing and aching temples, a sense of helplessness washing over him. "With his attack power, he could definitely cut through this damned thing's iron-plated defenses with a single strike..."
But he knew in his heart that the director was currently deep in the Abyss, fighting to the death with Gu Yue Fangtian, the patriarch of the Gu Yue family.
The third team is trapped in the Blackwater Cave, and even though someone has gone to rescue them, it is impossible for them to arrive in time.
Now, they can only rely on themselves.
"I'll take the brunt of its damage. You all scatter and find its weaknesses and openings!"
Ye Long took a deep breath and charged towards the giant weapon.
His body instantly radiated a dazzling golden light, and a deafening roar echoed through the fire:
"Six Forms of Defense - Gold Nuggets!"
"Yes!" The team members responded immediately and scattered to look for an opportunity.
But at that moment, the ancient colossus seemed to sense something, and its previously lowered mechanical eyes suddenly lit up with a scarlet light.
Immediately afterwards, its seemingly light punch, carrying a devastating force, slammed heavily into Ye Long's golden shield.
"Heh, I've already experienced your fists before, they're nothing special... Hungry—!"
Ye Long's sarcasm was only half-said.
He was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the scorched ground in the distance, lifeless, his fate unknown.
"Deputy Director—!!!!"
The team members' eyes were bloodshot, and they let out a heart-wrenching scream.
……
After returning to Baixian Village.
When he heard the news that his younger sister, Shangguan Yunyan, had been kidnapped by the rebels...
Shangguan Yunque burst into tears instantly, fell to her knees with a thud, and tightly gripped Jiang Ling's large hand, trembling with sobs:
"Brother Ling, please... save my sister..."
Jiang Ling: (⩌-⩌)……
He slowly clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking, and a terrifying glint flashed in his eyes.
Song Ruyu jumped onto his back, gritting her teeth and urging, "Hurry up and go, what are you dawdling for?"
On the other side, Shangguan Yunyao grabbed Wang Yuhao's arm, her eyes practically blazing with murderous intent: "Damn Black Cloud Stronghold, they've gone too far! Kill! Kill! Kill! Yuhao, are you coming with me?"
Wang Yuhao: ……
He took a deep breath and nodded with utmost seriousness: "Of course I'll go. Your business is my business."
"Our love is... pure!"
For some reason, that ancient willow tree, which had long lost its luster and whose branches and leaves had turned yellow, was now in disrepair.
Upon hearing the words "pure love," a shimmering green light suddenly flashed across the withered yellow leaves.
Jiang Ling reached out and put Song Ruyu down from his back, then reached out and pulled back the furious Shangguan Yunyao who was about to rush out.
"You all stay here and guard Baixian Village, lest someone lure you away from the mountain and steal your home again."
"Leave the task of rescuing Yunyan to me alone."
"Damn it, they dare to touch my sister! I'll see how many heads these bastards have!"
Thus, even without Ke Ling by his side, the sister-complex knight form has still been launched.
Now, Uncle Jiang Ling is very angry and wants to twist off some people's heads and use them as balls.
