Chapter 647 - 283: Kid, I Heard You’ve Got a Little Problem Here?
Fang Qingyu stood on the open ground of the cave.
His gaze swept over dozens of figures curled up on the ground.
The tattered clothes on their bodies could hardly cover them, revealing skin crossed with bluish-purple bruises, frostbite, and whip marks.
Their wrists bore handcuffs glowing faintly, obviously specially made to suppress abilities.
Their mouths were stuffed full of filthy cloths,
allowing them to make only desperate, muffled "mmm" sounds.
Most of their eyes were empty and numb, like shells drained of soul, with only a few showing faint terror and a nearly crushed will to survive.
Tier Two Grandmasters.
Outside, they have always been high and mighty beings.
In various small cities, they are the heroes who save the entire city.
Like that Grandmaster Chen in Qingjian City, diligently guarding a city.
Or rather, Tier Two beings in each city are truly like heroes.
Fang Qingyu didn’t stay long in Qingjian City.
But the number of Life Ghost he encountered was countless.
Just imagine how many Life Ghost those Tier Twos, who have protected a city for decades, have killed and how many they have saved.
...And now.
Tier Two here...
has become like goods, to be delivered to Life Ghost...
An indescribable anger instantly exploded from Fang Qingyu’s tailbone, rushing straight up his spine to his Celestial Spirit.
The disgust nearly suffocated him.
Fang Qingyu took a deep breath, said nothing, did not question those petrified brutes.
He didn’t even look at them again.
He just silently and slowly raised his right hand.
His arm rose high above his head, fingers spread, palm facing the sky.
The next moment!
"Boom——!!!"
A golden Shenxiao Thunder, condensed to the utmost, violently erupted from his palm without warning!
The brilliance was so intense that it illuminated the entire dark cave as if it were daytime.
It even overshadowed the captives’ terrified wide eyes and the kidnappers’ horror-struck pale faces in the electric light!
The golden pillar of light carried the majestic Heavenly Might.
With a destructive aura that tore through everything, it ignored the heavy rock layers above and charged upwards furiously!
"Crack! Boom——!!!"
The hard rock in front of Shenxiao was like fragile tofu, instantly pierced through.
The massive impact force carried with it shattered rocks and ice debris, forcibly opening a giant hole with a diameter of several meters at the cave top.
The golden thunder light, like an unyielding sharp sword,
pierced through tens of meters of thick mountain.
Finally, it suddenly exploded in the lead-gray snowy night sky above Skull Ice Valley!
...
Outside the entrance to Skull Ice Valley, on the Icefield Battlefield.
The sound of battle cries shook the heavens, and the Garrison Army’s main force, like a torrent of steel, under the guidance and assistance of Wei Banmeng’s four Sharp Blades, was crushing the Life Ghost’s remnants who had lost their core and whose morale had collapsed.
The scales of victory had completely tipped.
The gray-black tide was divided and crushed, the remaining Life Ghost letting out cries of despair.
The "Anvil" commander stood on a slightly elevated ice rock.
Calmly he coordinated the troops through a communicator, conducting the final encirclement and annihilation.
The staff officer focused intently on the tactical tablet on his wrist, analyzing battlefield data streams.
Suddenly!
A dazzling golden light pierced through the snowy night sky, shooting up without warning from the depths of Ice Valley, from the direction of the Life Ghost camp.
The light was so brilliant that it instantly drew the attention of everyone on the battlefield.
"What is that?!"
"In the Ice Valley! From the direction of the Life Ghost camp!"
"Such a strong energy fluctuation! Is it a new Life Ghost? Or...?"
"No! This aura...so righteous and majestic, with Heavenly Might! Unlike a Life Ghost!"
The soldiers looked in astonishment at the golden pillar of light tearing through the night sky, buzzing with discussion.
At the edge of the battlefield, Wei Banmeng and the other three, who had just worked together to slay a cornered Frost Bone Heavy Armor Beast, had a collective change in expression the moment they saw the golden light.
"Captain!"
"God Fang over there!"
"In the direction of the Black Stone Giant Puppet!"
The four exchanged no words but reached a consensus instantly with a look.
Wei Banmeng gave a sharp shout, and the Profound Qilin Double Blades whipped up a cold current, immediately freezing and shattering the two Bone-Eating Dogs pouncing at them.
Chu Kuanglan’s huge blade swept horizontally, forcing open a gap.
Lu Jiuyuan’s sword light flickered like lightning, precisely executing.
Jiang Wei’s palm sprayed Red Flame, clearing a path.
Without the slightest hesitation, the four of them, like arrows leaving the bowstring, broke away from the finishing battle, sprinting towards the source of the skyward golden light deep in the Ice Valley.
Moving as fast as phantoms, they left afterimages in the wind and snow.
"Sharp Blade calling Fang Qingyu! Please answer if you can hear me! What’s happening?"
Wei Banmeng sprinted while urgently calling out in the encrypted squad channel.
A few seconds later.
Fang Qingyu’s voice, so calm as to be nearly icy and without ripples, sounded in the channel, clearly reaching the four’s ears:
"Come on in. Chu Kuanglan stay outside the rift, don’t let the army in."
The voice was calm yet carried an undeniable will.
And...a coldness suppressed to an extreme.
Wei Banmeng and the other three felt a chill in their hearts and immediately responded: "Understood!"
Although Chu Kuanglan didn’t understand why, he had no hesitation about the captain’s order: "Roger!"
...
At the rift entrance.
The wind and snow were still violent.
Chu Kuanglan, like a Gate God, thrust that door-like giant blade fiercely into the frozen ground in front of him, blocking the narrow rift with his massive body.
His face carried a trace of anxiety, eyes fixed intently on the abyss-dark depths of the rift.
The hurried sound of footsteps accompanied by the wind and snow approached.
The "Anvil" commander, bringing a staff officer and a small squad of elite guards, hastened through the snowstorm.
