54: Chapter 54 Deep Brotherhood
Time reached noon.
The gale ceased, and pale sunlight pierced through the thick, lead-gray clouds above the reservoir, dappling the ruined dam.
In the shadows of the underground pump room, Su Yun retracted all his Void Tentacles.
His massive, indescribable body instantly shrank; he returned to his normal human form and raised a hand to brush a little dust off his clothes.
He summoned the sequence panel of the Lord of Blind Idiot God in his mind.
His gaze fell on the growth progress column at the very bottom.
The sense of anticipation that had arisen from devouring a Half-step King Level Strange Tales vanished without a trace the moment he saw the value.
One hundred and fifty points.
This was the result after the World-Swallowing Prison Wolf, which exuded dark golden ghost flames, had contributed all its growth progress.
As for the vanguard of A-level and B-Level Weird Tale that had charged in earlier, the value fluctuations on the panel remained in the single digits.
Su Yun raised an eyebrow.
He was not angry, just calmly accepting this reality.
This was the price after his life level had undergone a transition.
After entering the growth stage, the speed of his power expansion far exceeded his expectations.
He could casually crush the ceiling of Great Xia's combat power, Executive Jiang Xu, physically pin a Half-step King Level abyss overlord to the ground to strip its bones and eat it alive, and even forcibly stitch a portion of the opponent's rules into a human body.
This absolute status of controlling everything indeed brought great convenience.
But what followed was an extremely harsh growth barrier.
Low-tier Strange Tales had become scraps that barely filled the gaps in his teeth, completely losing the qualification to provide growth progress.
Even for a Half-step King Level, in the face of the massive values needed to enter the next stage, he would need to eat ten.
Su Yun gave an extremely objective evaluation: "Pickiness."
At this rate, he could only capture true King Level Strange Tales as his staple food in the future.
But the current situation in Great Xia was that the number of high-tier Strange Tales was still insufficient.
The crops in the leek field still needed time to grow.
This further confirmed the correctness of his strategy of keeping this planet and farming Strange Tales.
He stepped forward and walked toward the dam exit.
The current situation was completely under control.
As long as that paranoid woman Su Yao didn't go crazy and press the fusion detonator, the world would be safe for the time being.
Thinking about how he was almost physically "transcended" by his biological sister just now, taking the entire Linhai City down with her, Su Yun felt a toothache.
Walking out of the dark underground passage, the glaring sunlight made him squint slightly.
He turned his head, his gaze crossing the heavy ruins, looking toward the direction of the harbor in the east of the city.
The farce here at the reservoir had ended.
His big brother Bai Cang was risking his life at the harbor to attract official firepower and buy him time.
He wondered if his own brother could hold on now.
...
On the other side.
At noon in the Linhai City harbor, the sea breeze was mixed with a pungent, burning smell.
The breakwater had long since ceased to exist in the violent collision of spiritual energy, and murky seawater poured into the sea of container ruins.
The entire harbor was cut into three distinct colors.
Pure, blinding golden Holy Light, ink-black abyss Black Flame, and the violently raging water-blue Dragon tornado.
The battle had completely spiraled out of control.
Saintess Lin Xinglan hovered in mid-air.
Her white sanctuary robe was lifted by the gale, and she was surrounded by extremely high-density golden runes.
Her expression was cold to the extreme, and the light at the tip of the scepter in her hand was dazzling.
Originally, her primary goal was to destroy the Salvation Society leader Bai Cang, who was at the spirit vein anchor.
But after Night Owl unleashed his signature Black Flame, the attack focus of this current Saintess shifted severely.
"Night Owl!"
Saintess Lin Xinglan shouted angrily.
The scepter in her hand pointed fiercely at the hunched figure wearing an iron mask below.
The spears of Holy Light filling the sky immediately changed their trajectory, directly abandoning Bai Cang in the distance and crashing down upon Su Jianguo like a deluge.
"I should have just killed you back at the quarry!"
Saintess Lin Xinglan's voice was filled with extreme coldness and murderous intent, "Full of righteousness and morality, hiding under the skin of a Monster Hunter, yet you actually collude with the lunatics of the Salvation Society! You are absolutely detestable!"
Su Jianguo stood in the middle of two broken shipping containers.
The intense soreness coming from his lower back rushed straight to his brain, turning his face green.
He raised his hands abruptly.
The pitch-black abyss fire formed an incredibly thick giant flame shield above his head.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
The Holy Light spears smashed continuously against the Black Flame shield, exploding into circles of blinding halos.
The huge recoil forced Su Jianguo's legs to bend, the concrete ground beneath his feet shattered layer by layer, and the pouring seawater instantly submerged his ankles.
He gritted his teeth tightly, his face twitching violently under the iron mask.
Who is in cahoots with that pervert!
I just came here to lay low!
Su Jianguo tried to launch a counterattack, but the high-density Holy Light filling the sky gave him no chance to breathe at all.
He originally wanted to find a gap and retreat into the shadows, but Saintess Lin Xinglan's fighting style was extremely extreme, using Holy Light to seal all spatial nodes within a hundred-meter radius.
There were no shadows at all to leverage.
Forced to fight. Purely passive beating.
"Crazy woman! Are you being unreasonable!"
Su Jianguo roared through the gaps in the Black Flame.
What he got in return was only an even more violent and dense carpet bombing of Holy Light from Saintess Lin Xinglan.
Above the ruins not far away.
Su Chen stood on a water Dragon condensed from seawater.
Wearing a silver-white mask, he watched Night Owl in front, who was taking all the Holy Light judgments for him.
Su Chen's eyes were red.
That Holy Light filling the sky was originally meant for him, the Salvation Society leader.
But Night Owl, his own younger brother Su Yun!
To ensure the safe retreat of his big brother, he had silently attracted ninety percent of the Saintess's firepower!
Watching Night Owl struggling bitterly under that destructive Holy Light, watching those slightly trembling legs, the emotions in Su Chen's heart completely burst their banks.
This selfless feat of being connected by Bloodline and not hesitating to take a knife for his older brother completely ignited all the violent factors in Su Chen's body.
"Enough!"
Su Chen let out a furious roar.
He unreservedly squeezed out the last trace of spiritual energy in his Qi Sea, and even his life Origin was burning.
The water Dragon beneath his feet instantly expanded tenfold.
The gale howled, and the seawater of the entire sea area was pulled by an invisible force, rising up with a roar, turning into hundreds of huge high-pressure water columns, shooting straight into the sky.
He controlled the water columns, crashing fiercely from the side into Saintess Lin Xinglan's Holy Light array, forcibly tearing open a gap.
Immediately after, Su Chen turned into a rushing torrent, directly advancing to the front of Su Jianguo.
He suddenly opened his arms.
A huge ice crystal shield lay across the top of Su Jianguo's head, blocking all the remaining Holy Light spears.
The ice layer melted rapidly under the high temperature of the Holy Light, making a violent sound, with white mist rising.
Su Jianguo was stunned.
Through the iron mask, he looked at the back of Bai Cang standing in front of him.
Those slightly thin shoulders, at this moment, actually exuded an Aura of fearlessness.
Su Chen turned his head abruptly.
The eyes under the mask were full of undisguised heartache and determination.
"Little brother! Hold on!"
Su Chen roared, his voice piercing through the extremely noisy explosion, hitting Su Jianguo's eardrums with extreme clarity.
"Even if the King of Heaven himself comes today, your big brother will protect you! You go first, leave this crazy woman to me!"
Little brother.
Big brother will protect you.
These words collided crazily in Su Jianguo's brain, causing extremely intense tinnitus.
He widened his eyes, his body completely stiffened.
Rage rushed straight to his forehead.
You son of a bitch, still framing me!
Su Jianguo clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, and even the Black Flame covering his body was running wild due to the owner's extreme emotional fluctuation.
He now wished he could slap the masked bastard in front of him to pieces.
But his explanation was useless; this woman was set on this point.
What was even more fatal was the sincerity in the other's tone, which was extremely intense.
Su Chen thought Night Owl was too weak to speak due to severe internal injuries from resisting the pressure.
His heart pained even more.
Su Chen turned around abruptly, facing Saintess Lin Xinglan in mid-air.
The water-type spiritual energy was driven to an unprecedented extreme.
The clouds in the sky were completely stirred, and it actually started pouring rain over the harbor.
He raised his hand, pointing extremely arrogantly at Saintess Lin Xinglan.
"So what if you're a Saintess!"
Su Chen's voice carried a sense of overbearing protectiveness, completely drowning out the sound of thunder and rain.
"My younger brother, only I can hit him! Who do you think you are! How dare you move him!"
Rebellious and bold words.
Resounded throughout the entire harbor.
Outside the breakwater, those Salvation Society cadres lying in the muddy water, struggling to survive, all gasped upon hearing the leader's extremely domineering, even slightly morbidly doting declaration.
So that legendary Monster Hunter who specialized in killing high-tier Strange Tales was really the leader's biological younger brother!
The leader actually dared to confront the Saintess's full-strength wrath for his younger brother!
Su Jianguo stood at the back, his molars clattering.
He was so angry that his vision went black.
In mid-air.
Saintess Lin Xinglan's face completely froze into frost.
"Only I can hit my younger brother." This kind of wild talk that completely ignored her, and even carried an extremely provocative tone, completely shattered her absolute dignity as a sanctuary leader.
These two people, in front of her, were performing this sickening life-and-death brotherly love.
What did they take the sanctuary for!
What did they take her, Saintess Lin Xinglan, for!
"Very good."
Saintess Lin Xinglan lowered her eyelids, the last trace of warmth lost in her golden eyes.
She slowly released the scepter in her hand.
The scepter did not fall but hovered in front of her chest, beginning to rotate at an extremely high frequency.
The surrounding rainwater was instantly evaporated by this high temperature.
A terrifying fluctuation, far exceeding the sum of all previous attacks, awakened from within Saintess Lin Xinglan.
The thunderclouds in the sky were forcibly dispersed by this power, and a huge golden pillar of light connecting heaven and earth completely enveloped her.
The true murderous intent of destruction had completely arrived.
Su Jianguo felt that deadly fluctuation, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
This crazy woman is going to evaporate the entire harbor!
Just as Su Jianguo was preparing to abandon all disguises and use his trump card, which would hurt the enemy by a thousand and damage himself by eight hundred, to fight to the death.
In the central urban area of Linhai City in the distance.
An extremely piercing air-raid siren suddenly sounded without warning, the sound directly tearing through the sky.
At the same time, an icy Aura, so vast that it made all S-rank powerhouses palpitate, suddenly erupted from a certain location in the city.
