Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1221 - 558: Ge Liangen’s Wrath
Previously on Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food...
A whistling sound heralded Ge Liangen’s swift approach as his figure soared through the air.
With a thunderous descent, he landed, and the instant his feet met the ground, a powerful rush of air exploded outwards from beneath him.
The scattered snowflakes were whipped away, and the Yangshan members confronting him were momentarily cowed by the sheer force of his aura, instinctively stepping back.
Yet, they quickly regained their composure, straightening their postures with gritted teeth, and resolutely returned to their original positions.
Observing their defiance, a glint of lethal intent flickered within Ge Liangen’s eyes.
How dare these Yangshan upstarts show any sign of resistance in his presence!
This insolence irked him immensely.
Ge Liangen’s gaze, sharp and cold, swept across the entire area, his piercing eyes imbued with potent Spiritual Power that lent them an almost physical sharpness.
Anyone who met his stare instinctively looked away.
Finally, Ge Liangen’s gaze fixed upon Zhao Liang, who was suspended from the flagpole.
The sight of Zhao Liang's wretched state ignited a surge of immediate fury within him.
"Damn it!"
With a sudden sweep of his hand, a streak of silver light shot forth.
The silver projectile sliced through the rope holding Zhao Liang with a swift 'swoosh'.
Zhao Liang plummeted downwards.
However, before he could hit the ground, Ge Liangen’s formidable Spiritual Telekinesis intercepted his fall, yanking him through the air towards himself.
Zhao Liang, stirred by the commotion, weakly opened his eyes.
Upon the sight of Ge Liangen, the nearly lifeless Zhao Liang’s eyes welled up with tears.
"Ooh, ooh——"
He attempted to speak, but his tongue, severed by Zhang Peng, left him only capable of emitting strange, choked sounds.
Witnessing this grim scene, Ge Liangen’s eyes blazed with rage as he turned his furious gaze towards the Yangshan contingent, bellowing, "Who the hell did this to him?"
His furious cry, amplified by a surge of Spiritual Power, caused a jarring sensation in everyone’s heads.
For a tense moment, absolute silence enveloped the area.
Ge Liangen spat, "A bunch of cowards! You dare to act but won't admit it? Show yourselves if you have the guts!"
His gaze traversed the scene, then snapped upwards towards Gu Feng, who was perched on the shed, and he snarled, "You little punk, was it you?"
Gu Feng opened his mouth, and a swirl of white smoke rapidly billowed out, enshrouding him.
This mist served as a shield, capable of negating the opponent's Spiritual Power pressure.
Emerging from the white haze, Gu Feng’s voice dripped with a cold sneer, "So what if it was me? He dared to stir up trouble in the Fire Bamboo Forest; he had it coming."
"We've told your people long ago, if you set up base in Yangshan, you must abide by our local rules. Your people..."
"Hahaha——"
Ge Liangen’s laughter erupted, cutting Gu Feng off mid-sentence.
He let out a few booming laughs before abruptly ceasing, his finger jabbing towards Gu Feng within the smoke as he cursed, "You brat, are you tired of living, or are you just a complete idiot?"
"When you lot were begging for our help at Guangfu, your Li Qinghua was practically on his knees at our base's doorstep. And now you speak of following your rules?"
"Come on, say that to my face."
"You trash, do you really think you're in a position to dictate rules to us?"
The smoke swirling around Gu Feng churned violently, betraying his simmering rage.
At this critical juncture, the Yangshan crowd suddenly parted, clearing a path.
A tall woman emerged with a mocking laugh, asking, "Ge Liangen, is bullying children the extent of your skills?"
"You lot, you so-called protectors, do you think your stay in Yangshan is for free? Haven't we been paying you?"
"Do you actually take yourselves seriously? You're here because we hired you as security, not to trample all over us Yangshan folk."
"I've tolerated you for far too long!"
The onlookers exchanged sideways glances, many recognizing the newcomer, and exclaimed with excitement:
"Sister Gao!"
"Captain Gao!"
"Captain Gao, well said!"
Ge Liangen’s gaze shifted to the woman, his expression instantly darkening.
"Gao Jie!"
The newcomer was indeed Gao Jie, one of the benefactors of Gao Bai Zhuang, and formerly a Spiritual Illusion Superpower User from the Martial King Pavilion!
Judging by her imposing presence now, it was clear she too had successfully condensed a Genetic Species.
Gao Jie was a Spirit Ability User, adept in Spiritual Illusion Techniques.
The Yangshan Spiritual Power Genetic Species had mostly been acquired by Liang Yuan from Wang Ling'Er.
However, after Li Qinghua refined the Mirage Snake Space, even though they lost its Brain Core, he still managed to locate the Brain Lake. Within it, he discovered numerous Blood Crystals pulsating with Spiritual Power.
From these, they managed to extract a multitude of Spiritual Power Genetic Species.
Gao Jie, Zhuang Shuyuan, and Nai Bai had each expended a significant amount of Points to acquire one.
Over the course of the last month and a half, Yangshan had seen the emergence of many powerful individuals, and numerous Superpower Users had advanced into the Genetic Species realm.
The scarcity of peak experts was the primary issue. Regardless of diligent cultivation, their strength could not be rapidly enhanced. As Gao Jie made his presence known, another figure emerged from the nearby throng. Shi Haizhu, adorned in a golden helmet with already petrified skin, advanced and stated composedly, "Captain Ge, this individual has openly defied Yangshan law and transgressed our regulations. To rescue him now is a violation of our code."
"I now command you to surrender him immediately!" Ge Liangen's countenance turned ashen in an instant as he fixed a cold gaze upon Shi Haizhu. "Command me? Are you even qualified?"
"Do you truly believe that having more people elevates your importance?"
"The chasm between Superpower Users cannot be bridged by mere numbers!"
"If you possess the courage, come and try to wrest him from my grasp!" Ge Liangen clutched Zhao Liang, his Spiritual Power unfurling, and his aura surged. Silver blades whirled around him. Telekinesis control! Ge Liangen was a master of Spiritual Telekinesis! His eyes gleamed with a frigid light, fixing a menacing stare upon Shi Haizhu.
He was certain that even if Shi Haizhu and Gao Jie combined forces, he could dispatch them in a flash! This was because, despite having condensed Genetic Species, their Main Attributes did not exceed sixty points each. In his presence, a Spirit Ability User boasting a Main Attribute as high as 75, they were nothing more than insignificant weaklings! Consequently, he did not even deem these two worthy of his attention! What truly spurred his wariness was their defiant attitude! From their demeanor, he had already discerned a fundamental shift in how the Yangshan populace perceived them, the military contingent.
Shi Haizhu's expression grew grim as he exchanged a look with Gao Jie. Both apprehended that even joining forces would likely not suffice against their opponent. Nevertheless, with the atmosphere having escalated to such a critical juncture, there was no possibility of allowing Ge Liangen to abduct the person today. Otherwise, would the morale of the Yangshan people not be instantly crushed? For a moment, both factions teetered on the brink of drawing their weapons.
Just then, beyond the Fire Bamboo Forest, Zhang Dazhi hastened over, accompanied by a contingent of military soldiers. Over a hundred soldiers, fully equipped with firearms and armed with shields strapped to their backs, arrived. This spectacle instantly altered the expressions of those on the Yangshan side. Ge Liangen turned his head, observed the unfolding scene, and erupted in laughter. "Hahaha, Old Zhang, your arrival is most opportune. These Yangshan fools actually dared to impose rules upon me!"
He swiveled his head back to face Shi Haizhu and Gao Jie, spouting a curse: "Shi Haizhu, Gao Jie, today I am resolved to take him away."
"If you have the audacity, come forth and fight!" With these words, he seized Zhao Liang, a chilling grin contorting his face under the scrutiny of Shi Haizhu and Gao Jie, and retreated into the throng. Suddenly, his foot submerged into the ground. The snowflakes blanketing the earth unexpectedly gave way. Ge Liangen reacted with astonishing speed, stomping hard on the ground and launching himself into the air. Simultaneously, he flung his hand forward with fierce intent. Swish swish swish— Countless silver streaks shot into the snow.
However, at that precise moment, a shadow behind him abruptly flickered. Subsequently, a razor-sharp Bone Saber sliced violently towards his throat. This sudden infiltration caught even Ge Liangen somewhat by surprise. Yet, being a Spirit Ability User, his reaction was swift. Almost instantaneously, he conjured a formidable Telekinesis Wall around his person! Bang! The Bone Saber collided with the Telekinesis Wall, producing a dull thud. Wu Ying let out a cold chuckle, his body rapidly contracting as he expertly evaded back into the ground. With a swift movement, he vanished into the shadows, denying Ge Liangen any opportunity for a counter-assault. And during this brief interlude, Gao Jie's eyes suddenly illuminated. A Spiritual Illusion Technique was directly unleashed upon Ge Liangen's consciousness.
Ge Liangen instantly sneered, "Seeking death!" His Spiritual Power, being his Main Attribute, reached a formidable 75 Points. Gao Jie's audacity in employing a Spiritual Illusion Technique against him was akin to underestimating his capabilities. As Gao Jie's Spiritual Illusion Technique struck, it was immediately annihilated by Ge Liangen's potent Spiritual Power. Gao Jie abruptly suffered a nosebleed, reeling from the backlash of the Spiritual Power, and staggered backward. Yet, a faint, cunning smile graced the corners of her lips. Ge Liangen perceived something amiss and abruptly glanced down at Zhao Liang, who was held captive in his hand. He observed Zhao Liang gazing at him with a countenance etched with pure hatred, suddenly extending his hand with extreme Speed towards Ge Liangen's throat! Ge Liangen recoiled in shock, releasing his grip reflexively as he reacted: "Illusion!"
Gao Jie had not targeted Ge Liangen with the Illusion Technique; instead, she had cunningly cast it upon Zhao Liang.
Zhao Liang, already gravely wounded, was instantly impacted and subsequently viewed Ge Liangen as a mortal foe, retaliating with his utmost strength.
Ge Liangen's expression turned icy as he declared, "A mere trick, and you boast about it!"
His Spiritual Power surged, rushing towards Zhao Liang, while he bellowed, "Awaken!"
Zhao Liang shuddered instantaneously, a look of bewilderment clouding his eyes, his entire form still suspended in mid-air.
Meanwhile, a figure within the crowd launched a sudden assault.
A Water Arrow ripped through the air in an instant!
The tip of the Water Arrow was affixed with a Talisman Stone!
Ge Liangen swiftly concentrated his Telekinesis into a defensive barrier, shielding Zhao Liang!
This was because the arrow was not aimed at him, but at Zhao Liang!
These treacherous Yangshan individuals understood they could not defeat him in a direct confrontation, so they conspired to assassinate Zhao Liang right before his eyes!
How could he permit these people to achieve their objective?
Ge Liangen's Spiritual Telekinesis intensified, solidifying into a potent Telekinesis Barrier positioned in front of Zhao Liang.
Boom!
The Water Arrow violently collided with the Telekinesis Barrier, and in the following moment, a ferocious explosion erupted.
The Talisman Stone detonated, morphing into a crimson Rune!
In a flash, the Spiritual Telekinesis Barrier and the Water Arrow vanished concurrently!
Ge Liangen's countenance shifted dramatically: "A Sealing Rune!"
Woo—!
At this precise juncture, a piercing sound of tearing air reverberated!
A Bamboo Arrow sliced through the void, emitting a sharp roar!
Puff!
The Bamboo Arrow plunged ferociously into Zhao Liang's throat, piercing his vital artery!
Blood erupted instantaneously.
Zhao Liang's eyes widened with a trace of defiance, fixed upon Ge Liangen!
Ge Liangen abruptly tilted his head back, his form a blur as he lunged, securing Zhao Liang's body.
However, amidst the spraying blood, Zhao Liang's already dwindling life force extinguished completely.
"Ah—"
Ge Liangen roared in utter fury, abruptly lifting his head and fixing his gaze towards the Fire Bamboo Forest.
In that direction, Tu Long smirked coldly, a bow and arrow in his grasp.
He had eschewed the use of his Superpower, relying instead on sheer physical might to unleash a chilling arrow!
It was only by this method that he could circumvent the Sealing Rune's obstruction and terminate Zhao Liang!
"Tu Long!"
Ge Liangen bellowed, consumed by rage!
Tu Long advanced, a sneer twisting his lips: "Ge Liangen, while you remain within Yangshan, you must adhere to Yangshan's regulations!"
"If you wish to claim him, you may only take his corpse!"
Ge Liangen’s fury surged without bounds, his imposing aura erupting outward as he shouted wildly: "You court death!"
