Chapter 718 - 21: Fight! (4,000 Words)
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The power gathered by Cang Feng froze in mid-air, the black aura around him jumping nervously...
The pupils behind Night Owl’s cold mask suddenly contracted, and his steps stopped.
All the Death God Assassins who were ready to act abruptly froze.
A silence replaced the previous noise, making the sound of sour water dripping from above particularly clear.
"Chen Zaikun...?"
Cang Feng stared fixedly at the man blocking the way, his voice twisted and deformed by shock and anger.
"What do you want to do?"
Although Night Owl did not speak, the aura around him also became fiercer.
With the earlier situation, they had all the advantages.
Yun You was strong, but ultimately just one person, and only at the Tier Five Peak, facing several equals was already her limit.
On their side, there were two Tier Six powerhouses, plus more than ten Tier Five, more than enough to surround and kill her.
But if Chen Zaikun interfered, the situation would be completely different.
Chen Zaikun was a renowned Death God, although the external world saw his power only as a Tier Six, he had never used his full might.
Facing this hero of Heaven and Earth, not even Night Owl and Cang Feng were assured of victory.
As for Yun You...
She too was surprised by Chen Zaikun’s actions.
Just a short while ago she had fallen out with this Second Brother, resulting in mutual defeat... why was he helping her now?
Yun You’s heart was filled with doubt.
Yet... it was clear Chen Zaikun cared not for the girl’s confusion nor the terrifying pressure from the Death God Squad.
He pulled a slightly damp cigarette from his pocket, enjoying a puff, slowly exhaling a smoke ring.
Amidst the curling smoke, his handsome yet devilish face revealed a faint smile.
"What am I doing?"
He tilted his head, his tone as relaxed as if discussing the weather.
"Isn’t it obvious?"
His gaze swept over the murderous Cang Feng Squad, then glanced at the composed Night Owl Squad, finally, the smile on his lips widened with an obvious arrogance and undisguised contempt.
"Of course it’s."
He paused, his voice suddenly rising, like a thunderclap.
"Helping my little sister, to deal with you bunch of trash!"
Boom—!
The moment those words fell, an aura far more terrifying than Cang Feng burning life erupted from Chen Zaikun’s seemingly frail body like a long-dormant volcano!
Boom—!!!
With a light cough, the air lamented, and the earth moaned!
Centered on Chen Zaikun, the concrete and rocks under his feet shattered like fragile biscuits, an invisible shockwave swept out, the stacked abandoned metal boxes instantly twisted apart, the entire cavern structure violently shook.
In this moment, everyone present paled in horror.
The first to bear the brunt was Cang Feng, his momentum forcibly elevated to Tier Six Early with a secret technique, was like a candle in the wind under this crushing force, instantly suppressed to a flicker.
He groaned, his body staggering back uncontrollably, each step leaving deep prints on the cracked ground.
And Night Owl, his always stable aura, now appeared severely disturbed... the imposing pressure was overpowering, even hindering his Tier Six Early mental state.
As for the Tier Five Death God Assassins behind him, they were worse like being struck in the chest by an invisible sledgehammer, all groaning in unison, blood trickling from their mouths, their momentum instantly flagging.
Yun You, closest to Chen Zaikun, felt it most vividly, the overwhelming aura causing her crimson Dragon Scale Armor to creak, fortunately, this Second Brother held no hostility, leaving her unharmed.
Yet, the girl’s heart still churned with tumultuous waves, looking incredulously at the figure blocking her path.
Tier Six Peak, genuinely at Tier Six Peak, just a step from entering the Quasi-God Realm!
In a sense, he was incredibly close to Zhao Xuan’s realm, and in terms of power... possibly not weaker than Zhao Xuan.
But how could this be?
Yun You clearly remembered, just two days ago, when sparring with Chen Zaikun, this guy’s realm was only a Tier Six Middle Death God.
Hasn’t much time passed... how could he advance so rapidly?
"Night Owl..."
Looking at the awe-inspiring Chen Zaikun, Cang Feng struggled against the omnipresent pressure, hoarsely shouting to Night Owl: "Hard nut to crack! How about... a temporary retreat?"
With these words, the other Death God Assassins wavered.
They dared to siege a more powerful Yun You because her realm was not so high, Tier Five Peak, Tier Six strength, they could bite the bullet and almost defeat her by sheer numbers, with not too many casualties expected.
But... if the opponent is a Tier Six Peak, everything changes.
They may win, but certainly at a devastating cost.
Though trained to conquer fear, humans aren’t machines, they fear death too, so retreating now may be the best decision.
However... the Second Squad’s Leader Night Owl seemed to have a different idea.
He suddenly raised his hand, stopping Cang Feng, the shock in his gaze replaced by deep-seated killing intent.
