Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School Chapter 1454 - Battle

1454 Battle

Gunshots erupted all around, and explosions followed one after another.

Andrew, engulfed in flames, blazed through the enemy ranks, leaving a trail of fire in his wake. With Jian Ai having commanded this base to vanish entirely, the need for caution evaporated. They unleashed their most devastating, killer moves.

Streaks of lightning descended from the heavens, obliterating every structure within the base. Enemy gunfire met its match against the twelve guards and numerous ability users wielding extraordinary, potent powers; their firearms became utterly useless.

High above, Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian launched their assault in tandem.

"Sword Form Tianzheng—Ten Thousand Swords Return!"

As his declaration echoed, countless sword auras materialized behind Yu Wuyuan, showering down like a tempest of blades. Explosions and the agonized screams of the enemy resounded across the battlefield.

"Holy Light—Seven Stars of Judgment!"

Chi Lian swiftly formed a hand seal, and a radiant golden wheel spun into existence behind her. Seven bolts of holy light, like golden spears, erupted forth. The impact of these holy spears was akin to powerful bombs, leveling the structures within the base.

Within the base, a hidden trapdoor suddenly gave way in the ground, disgorging a multitude of fully armed men clad in black. It was apparent the base possessed a vast reserve of soldiers.

Yet, the moment they spilled forth, an immense, transparent barrier materialized, encasing them all.

Ming Zui appeared before the trapped contingent, clad in a black robe and wielding a staff. Witnessing his arrival, the soldiers promptly raised their weapons and unleashed a volley of fire. However, the bullets simply vanished into thin air upon crossing the spectral barrier.

Manipulating the very fabric of space and time, Ming Zui redirected all the projectiles to an alternate, desolate location.

Then, with a subtle movement of his lips, Ming Zui uttered a whispered incantation, "The power of space and time—Slaughterhouse!"

Instantly, the very oxygen within the containment field was violently expelled. Those trapped inside gasped for air, their faces contorting as they suffocated, dying within moments!

The interior of the base descended into a hellish inferno, while outside, delicate pink petals drifted through the air like a beautiful snowfall. However, beneath their exquisite facade, these petals harbored a lethal, hidden intent.

Each individual petal functioned as a razor-sharp blade, slicing through the throats of the enemy combatants operating beyond the base's perimeter.

Concurrently, tendrils of toxic smoke snaked through the surroundings. Before the adversaries lurking in the shadows could even perceive Xiao Zhen, they succumbed to the poison, perishing instantly.

With a mere handful of individuals—barely comprising a dozen fighters—they executed a complete annihilation of the thousands of soldiers garrisoned within the base. Faced with such overwhelming power, the ordinary human combatants were utterly inconsequential.

"Sir, we cannot maintain our defense any longer!"

From within the command center, a subordinate conveyed the dire situation with a voice laced with terror.

The commanding officer, a Westerner and the ultimate authority of the entire base, clenched his jaw. Gazing at the horrific carnage displayed on the surveillance feeds, he issued a grim directive: "Release those individuals!"

"But..." The subordinate stammered, his shock evident as he dared to remind him, "Those are the fruits of our years of dedicated labor! If they perish, won't all our past endeavors be rendered meaningless?!"

"We have no alternative. They must serve as our bulwark, holding the line for us, if only for a short while," the officer declared, his expression resolute. "Gather all research data and the doctors, and escape by sea through the rear exit!"

The critical data and the researchers were paramount. As long as there was life, hope would endure. Protecting the base was no longer feasible!

The subordinate could only comply with the order!

Minutes later, a deafening siren abruptly pierced the air throughout the entire base. This alarm served as a signal; upon hearing it, all surviving enemy soldiers retreated through a concealed exit, making their way back to the surface.

A collective sense of bewilderment washed over the returning soldiers as they exchanged confused glances. Were they truly abandoning the island and fleeing?

Before anyone could process this sudden turn of events, a massive, reinforced metal door slowly creaked open from the base's deepest level. From within, three figures emerged.

One of them, spotting Chi Lian hovering hundreds of meters away in the sky, suddenly propelled himself forward. In an instant, he materialized directly before her.

So fast!

"Be cautious!"

Yu Wuyuan urgently warned her upon witnessing this impossible speed. However, the assailant had already launched his attack. Chi Lian reacted instinctively, raising her hands to block. To her astonishment, the opponent's leg strength was phenomenal; he sent her hurtling from the sky, smashing her into the ground.

Boom—

With a resounding impact, Chi Lian crashed heavily onto the earth, carving out a massive crater!

Such incredible leg power! To leap from the ground hundreds of meters away and reach Chi Lian in mid-air required channeling immense force into his leg.

Yu Wuyuan observed the newcomer. He was a black man, bearing a resemblance to Andrew. However, this individual's features were blank and devoid of expression, like an emotionless automaton.

It appeared the base had subjected individuals to specialized experiments, transforming them into combat instruments stripped of human thought and feeling.

"Damn it, that hurt!"

After struggling to her feet, Chi Lian faced the dark-skinned man before her, wincing as she twisted her sore neck. Suddenly, golden light flared in her eyes as she bellowed, “Holy Power—Furious Buddha Lotus!”

It was clear Chi Lian had reached her limit!

A colossal golden lotus erupted beneath the dark-skinned man's feet. Instantly, a radiant Buddhist light surged skyward, engulfing him. A tremendous gust of wind buffeted his form, unleashing a world-ending destructive force.

Observing this, Yu Wuyuan allowed a faint smile to grace his lips, musing inwardly that women truly were creatures of passion.

With an effortless flick of his wrist, seven streaks of white sword aura materialized before Yu Wuyuan. “Chi Lian, allow me to assist you!”

The moment his words fell, the sword auras sliced through the air, merging seamlessly with the golden radiance of the Buddha lotus. In a flash, the man was annihilated!

Elsewhere, a resounding crash echoed. Duo's Cup of Transcendence had been utterly destroyed!

The individual confronting Duo possessed skin of an unyielding silver hue and wielded immense physical power. When Duo had utilized the Cup of Transcendence to ensnare him, the opponent had managed to forcefully shatter the artifact from within.

Such formidable strength! Duo's brow furrowed; he recognized this opponent as a uniquely engineered being of extraordinary potency.

While lacking other ostentatious abilities, this foe proved exceptionally vexing due to his sheer resilience and difficulty to dispatch!

“The Power of Repose—Hell's Chains!”

Duo unleashed another assault. Countless chains, wreathed in smoky tendrils of darkness, erupted from the ground. Swiftly intertwining, they instantly ensnared the silver-skinned man.

However, in the very next moment, the man mustered his strength and violently broke free from the Hell's Chains!

Then, with blinding speed, he surged forward. A casual swing of his hand propelled a fist through the air, carrying a force capable of crushing a thousand kilograms.

Just as Duo braced himself to receive the blow, a gust of wind materialized beside him. In the blink of an eye, a fist, swifter and more brutal than his opponent's, slammed into the silver-skinned man’s abdomen.

The silver-skinned assailant was flung backward twenty to thirty meters, crashing through the wall of a distant dwelling.

“Uncle Duo, are you alright?”

It was Si Yue! Having honed his skills under Ye Liushang's tutelage, he had now mastered the power of darkness, leading to a rapid surge in his capabilities. The speed and ferocity of his recent intervention were clear indicators of his terrifying current strength.

“I am unharmed. This opponent is proving somewhat challenging; I cannot defeat him through brute force alone!” Duo stated.
