Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1139 - 482: Display of Power

"54 points?"

A hint of surprise flickered across the face of the man wearing a blue robe and mask.

The middle-aged man clad in yellow armor sneered mockingly, "He actually managed to condense a genetic species."

The muscular man with his upper body exposed also chuckled, "In such a backwater spot, someone who condensed a genetic species emerges—it proves he’s truly the boss around here."

Zhao Kai’s face darkened with suppressed fury as he demanded, "What brings the Three Great Sects to our Yangshan in such force?"

No sooner had Zhao Kai spoken than the yellow-armored middle-aged man sneered again, "Your Yangshan?"

"Tell me, how exactly does Yangshan belong to you?"

"Which rock on the mountain is yours? Which tree claims your name?"

The blue-robed masked man spoke in icy tones, "The massive flood rages on, leaving countless areas on the brink of destruction with people having no foothold."

"The leaders of the Three Great Sects hold sway over Linjiang region, and we now formally declare that Yangshan falls under unified Three Great Sects management to better handle disaster relief arrangements."

"Furthermore, all mountain resources—mutant beasts and superpower stones alike—must be surrendered for centralized distribution by the Three Great Sects."

"What!"

Rage exploded across Zhao Kai and the Yangshan survivors at these outrageous demands.

Fiery-tempered Ren Jie bellowed in fury, "Why should we? What right do you have to speak for the nation?"

"The mountain’s produce came from our blood and sweat, and we cleared out those mutant beasts ourselves. What gives you the gall to swoop in and claim it all?"

"In your dreams!"

Angry cries erupted from the crowd.

The blue-robed masked man merely gave a cold laugh and stated bluntly, "You lot don’t grasp one key fact."

"I’m not here to discuss terms—I’m here to deliver orders!"

"We’re not unreasonable; you get one hour, no more."

"In that hour, clear the waterways, open the docks, and dismantle your pathetic defense squads."

"Fail to comply, and heh..."

He trailed off, but the menace in his gaze spoke volumes.

Those standing with Zhao Kai boiled over with outrage.

The more impulsive ones nearly lunged into action right then.

Drawing a steadying breath, Zhao Kai eyed the trio and declared, "The Three Great Sects’ arrogance knows no bounds."

"If you crave Yangshan, drop the flimsy pretext."

"Do you speak for the country? Even Guangfu’s military district hasn’t shown up—what qualifies you?"

Zhao Kai’s retort ignited the fury of the three Three Great Sects members.

The blue-robed masked man snarled instantly, "Who do you think you are, challenging us like this?"

"Rejects the carrot, demands the stick—fine, we’ll slaughter you first to teach a lesson!" roared the yellow-armored middle-aged man.

"Hahaha, let’s do it!" cackled the bare-chested brute from the Spiritual Ability Sect.

All three sprang into motion at once, vaulting skyward.

With a flick of his wrist, the blue-robed masked man summoned a roaring water dragon from nowhere, hurling it savagely at President No. 7’s yacht.

Zhao Kai remained silent, barking coldly, "Activate Golden Armor Defense System!"

Boom!

Golden beams erupted around President No. 7 in a flash, as chunks of crystalline golden armor cloaked the vessel.

The entire yacht was swiftly encased in gleaming golden protection.

Stomping hard, Zhao Kai rocketed upward, charging straight at the trio!

His fist lashed out, unleashing a blast of frigid ice qi.

The water dragon barreling toward President No. 7 froze solid on impact!

Bounding along the ice dragon’s length, Zhao Kai closed in rapidly on the blue-robed masked man.

Alarm and rage twisted the blue-robed masked man’s features: "Ice Attribute Superpower User!"

Shocked and seething, he backpedaled hastily.

Ice naturally counters water attributes, putting him at a severe disadvantage.

The armored middle-aged man bellowed, "Leave him to me!"

His punch unleashed a swirling dirt-yellow halo overhead.

Chunks of rubble plummeted from the sky like a meteor storm.

Zhao Kai sneered, nimbly traversing the ice dragon to evade the barrage.

Boom boom boom!

The ice dragon shattered explosively under the onslaught.

This was a wide-area assault; even Zhao Kai’s agility couldn’t fully escape.

But icy armor materialized around him, forming a protective sheath of ice attribute power!

"Zero-Degree Armor!"

Zhao Kai roared powerfully, his armor shrugging off the meteor impacts effortlessly.

Upon hitting the water, frost spread instantly from his feet.

Overhead, pouring rain morphed into pounding hailstones.

Fueled by Zhao Kai’s ice attribute surge, the hail swirled violently around him.

"Go!"

With a sweep of his arm, the aerial hailstorm blasted forth, zeroing in on the three foes.

The bare-chested youth from the Spiritual Ability Sect yelled wildly, "Fire, arise!"

Boom!

Flames burst forth, coiling into a fiery barrier around him.

He swung his hand viciously, detonating the fire wall outward.

Infernal blaze soared, vaporizing moisture in its path!

Yet Zhao Kai’s hail carried subzero chill; it melted but lingered stubbornly.

Stormy conditions inherently hampered Fire Attribute Superpower Users.

Beneath Zhao Kai’s icy dominion, nearby water droplets sharpened into myriad ice spikes, hurtling toward the flame-shrouded trio.

Astonishingly, he held his own against all three without yielding ground.

Aboard President No. 7, Yang Shenmin commanded gravely, "Archers, ready!"

Super Vision Superpower Users advanced, bows and arrows at the ready.

These weren’t mundane arms—they were Sealing Arrows!

They nocked and drew in unison, sights locked on the airborne combatants.

"Loose!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Arrows streaked with whistling fury.

Their momentum was terrifying, slicing the air with shrill cries.

Simultaneously, Telekinesis Spirit Ability Users vaulted forth, hurtling toward the fray.

The tide turned decisively in an instant.

Spotting this, the blue-robed masked man spat, "Excellent work, Yangshan—you’ve sealed your doom. Just wait!"

He withdrew swiftly, summoning waves to batter the Sealing Arrows aside in retreat.

Unbeknownst to him, Yangshan wielded Sealing Arrow mastery; caught off-guard, the projectiles pierced his waves and detonated.

Boom—a sealing energy burst flared.

The blue-robed masked man paled: "Sealing Arrows? Impossible—how do you possess this tech!"

Retribution came as Zhao Kai’s ice cones swarmed him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

They riddled his body; with a agonized cry, he plunged into the flood.

This sight drained the color from the Earth Mother Sect middle-aged man and Spiritual Ability Sect bare-chested youth.

They leaped back to their boat and fled.

"Trying to escape?"

Zhao Kai thundered, palm striking out.

The water surface iced over instantly, locking their vessel fast.

Panic gripped the Earth Mother Sect middle-aged man: "You dare? Aren’t you afraid of the Three Great Sects’ full might!"

The Spiritual Ability Sect bare-chested youth yelled too: "You’re finished—glance at your Shelter!"

Zhao Kai stood firm, ordering, "Seize them!"

Yangshan Spirit Ability Users pounced, triggering Sealing Arrows above the pair.

Their powers faltered amid the shock.

Desperate, the duo sprinted across the ice.

But contact triggered Zhao Kai’s smirk; freezing qi encased them solid.

Yangshan Spirit Ability Users swarmed, slapping on Energy-Sealing Handcuffs and hauling the captives back aboard.

Only then did Zhao Kai survey Yangshan.

Flames licked the slopes amid choking smoke.

Frowning deeply, he dashed back to President No. 7’s deck.

The command team wore somber faces.

"What happened?" he pressed Zhuang Shuyuan urgently.

Zhuang Shuyuan hurried up, reporting swiftly, "Gale Camp says Water God Sect infiltrators torched several buildings up top. But with the downpour, it won’t spread far."

"Still, it could be a signal—the smoke a beacon. The Three Great Sects might attack any moment."

Zhuang Shuyuan’s words barely ended.

Across the waters, steam whistles blared from dozens of Three Great Sects warships.

Drums thundered next.

The fleet divided into three prongs, surging toward Lingyun Slope, Yangshan, and Meishan!

The Three Great Sects assault had begun!

Zhao Kai’s expression twisted in alarm: "The Three Great Sects are invading!"

Yang Shenmin looked equally dire: "We’re shorthanded against too many elites—we can’t hold all three mountains."

Zhuang Shuyuan agreed instantly, "Exactly, Captain Zhao. Let’s consolidate and defend one stronghold!"

Zhao Kai’s visage grew sterner: "Any other ideas?"

"Dr. Yang and Minister Zhuang speak wisely."

"Yangshan’s our pick—it’s got the complex and sunroom, our core assets."

"Yes, plus the research institute and medical wing—vital facilities we must protect."

"Meishan holds ag fields, and Yunquan Temple’s stocked with supplies though."

"Where’s Mr. Liang?" one voice piped up.

Zhao Kai furrowed his brow gravely: "Mr. Liang’s off seeking a virus cure."

"What? He’s absent?"

"Without Mr. Liang, what now?"

"Hold on—the virus hits just as the Three Great Sects show up? Too convenient, right?" Fu Qibo questioned.

Realization dawned on the group.

"Is the virus tied to the Three Great Sects?"

"Has to be—I’ve heard Water God Sect folks preaching covertly in our Shelter lately!"

"What? That’s happening?"

"Old Qi, why keep quiet?" Yan Congjun demanded.

Qi Delong replied, "I reported it to Inspection already."

Zhuang Shuyuan stated solemnly, "Inspection acted fast, but Water God Sect exploited virus panic to evangelize among Yangshan folk—too swift."

"An hour back, we nabbed suspects, but many slipped away. That Yangshan blaze was likely their doing."

"Enough chatter—time to rally a counteroffensive," Shi Haizhu urged.

"Yeah, Yangshan or Meishan for defense?"

"Or split to cover both?"
