57: My foolish brother!

“Heh.”

Su Mingzhe was the first to react, letting out a cold laugh.

“My dear sister, do you really think a few of you can stop fifteen of us?”

He stared intently at Wanqing, his face somewhat distorted.

“I admit, your D-rank wild man has some skill.”

“But, in the face of absolute power…”

He hadn’t finished speaking.

Wanqing’s figure suddenly vanished!

“What?!”

Su Mingzhe’s pupils contracted.

A sense of danger surged from behind him!

Without thinking, he swung an ice blade behind him!

“Clang!”

The ice blade collided with another hand, seemingly carved from profound ice.

Terrifying cold energy instantly erupted!

Su Mingzhe felt a chill rush up his arm and into his body!

“Crack, crack, crack…”

Half of his body was covered in a thin layer of ice!

“How is this possible?!”

Su Mingzhe shrieked in disbelief!

His “Ice” ability, among the younger generation in Beijing, was unmatched by all but a select few!

But Wanqing… her Ice Phoenix bloodline clearly hadn't fully awakened!

How could her cold energy be even more overbearing than his own?!

“You…!”

Just as he was about to say something.

Wanqing’s other hand, fingers pressed together like a sword, pointed towards his glabella!

The cold light swirling around her fingertip made Su Mingzhe’s soul tremble!

“Captain, be careful!”

“Protect the Captain!”

The other four members of the Beijing First Team finally reacted, roaring as they attacked Wanqing from four directions!

“Get out of the way!”

Wanqing didn't even spare them a glance, letting out a sharp cry!

Centering on her, a circular frost expanded with a boom!

“Ice Phoenix Round Dance!”

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The four C-rank Intermediate and C-rank Peak elites were all sent flying, covered in frost, and lost their combat ability!

One move!

Just one move!

She had incapacitated four main members of the Beijing First Team!

The entire valley fell into a deathly silence.

Whether it was Xiang Mang from Bingzhu City, or the Captain from the Iron Wall Branch Bureau, they all looked at Wanqing as if she were a monster.

They had anticipated that the Jiangcheng Branch Bureau had a trump card.

But they hadn't expected this trump card to be this woman, whom they had always regarded as a mere vase!

C-rank Peak?

No!

This power had already vaguely touched the threshold of B-rank!

“This… is this the true power of the ‘Ice Phoenix’ bloodline?” The female team member next to Xiang Mang murmured, her voice filled with shock.

On the other side of the valley.

Liu Yan and Shi Lei were also dumbfounded.

“Holy crap… Captain Su… is she that fierce?” Shi Lei’s mouth hung open, feeling his worldview shattered.

Liu Yan’s heart was pounding even harder.

She had always thought her strength in the team was second only to Lin Yuan, and on par with Wanqing.

Now it seemed… she was just a joke!

Only Lin Yuan remained unfazed by this.

He even had the leisure to whistle at the shivering Su Mingzhe.

“Yo, Young Master Su.”

“Your sister seems a lot stronger than you.”

“Why don’t you kneel down and call her ‘sis’ now, maybe she’ll go a little easier on you?”

“You shut up!!!”

Su Mingzhe was like a madman!

The greatest humiliation isn't being defeated by an enemy.

It's being utterly crushed by his sister, whom he had always looked down upon, in front of everyone, with a single move!

“Xiang Mang! Zhou Tai! What are you still standing there for?!”

He roared at the other two teams.

“If we don’t cripple them today! All of us will be utterly disgraced!”

Xiang Mang took a deep breath, snapping out of his shock.

He glanced at Wanqing, then at Lin Yuan, who was still watching the show from the side, and battle intent surged in his eyes.

“You’re right!”

“I underestimated you all!”

His body let out a series of explosive sounds, and he grew a size larger!

“Bingzhu City! Charge with me!”

“Iron Wall Branch Bureau! Form up! Advance!”

The battle erupted completely!

Su Mingzhe and Xiang Mang, two C-rank Peak powerhouses, jointly attacked Wanqing!

The five members of the Iron Wall Branch Bureau formed a shield formation, pressing towards Shi Lei, Mo Chen, and Liu Yan!

Wanqing fought two against one, stirring up waves of violent energy currents!

Shi Lei roared, using his rock shield to firmly block the opponent’s shield formation!

Liu Yan transformed into afterimages, weaving through gaps, trying to attack the opponent's backline!

Mo Chen stood at the very back, constantly analyzing data and providing support to his teammates.

“Liu Yan, back left, three o’clock, there’s a gap in their defense!”

“Shi Lei, the opponent’s impact force is gathering, prepare for the next heavy blow!”

The four members of the Jiangcheng Branch Bureau, relying on Wanqing’s powerful burst and perfect teamwork, actually managed to withstand the encirclement of three strong teams!

But everyone knew this was only temporary.

Their energy was rapidly depleting!

And the opponents still had a full eleven people!

It was at the most intense moment of this battle.

Lin Yuan moved.

He didn't charge at any enemy.

Instead, to everyone’s astonishment, he walked to the very center of the valley.

Then.

He pulled out a… staff?

“Hey! Lin Yuan! What are you doing?!”

Liu Yan yelled anxiously during a lull in the fighting.

“We’re about to be overwhelmed!”

“Don’t worry, I’m looking for a spot with better feng shui.”

Lin Yuan tapped and knocked on the ground with a serious expression.

Liu Yan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

What time is it?! And you’re still doing this?!

Finally.

Lin Yuan seemed to have found his “feng shui treasure spot.”

He gripped the thunderfall battle staff with both hands and slammed it fiercely into the ground!

“Boom!!!”

A deafening roar!

The entire valley trembled!

The thunderfall battle staff plunged deep into the earth, leaving only a small portion exposed.

Countless tiny electric arcs, centered on the staff, spread out in all directions, covering the entire valley floor!

“He… what is he trying to do?”

Everyone currently fighting paused their movements.

Then, they witnessed an even more outrageous scene.

After doing all this, Lin Yuan actually placed both hands on the top of the staff and closed his eyes.

“…”

Liu Yan was stunned.

Shi Lei was stunned.

Su Mingzhe, Xiang Mang… everyone was stunned!

What kind of move was this?!

Meditating on the battlefield?!

“Bastard!” Wanqing was also greatly angered by his actions, momentarily distracted, and was punched in the shoulder by Xiang Mang, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

“Captain!” Shi Lei’s eyes were bloodshot at the sight!

Su Mingzhe seized the opportunity, a sinister smile on his face.

“First, deal with Wanqing! That useless person is nothing to fear!”

The pressure suddenly intensified!

Wanqing was firmly suppressed by the two, in a precarious situation.

More and more cracks appeared on Shi Lei’s rock shield, looking like it couldn’t hold on much longer.

Liu Yan was also entangled by two enemy members, with multiple injuries on her body.

Defeat was imminent.

“It’s over!”

Su Mingzhe let out a furious roar, thrusting an ice spear at Wanqing, who was no longer able to dodge!

Just then.

The man with closed eyes opened them.

His hands, pressed on the staff, suddenly lifted.

“Alright.”

“The electricity is full.”

“Now, it’s my turn.”

As his voice fell.

The thunderfall battle staff, plunged into the ground, erupted with dazzling lightning!
