Boom! Boom!
The continuous explosions shook the cave violently, causing numerous stones to fall and crash to the ground with loud thuds.
Lian Chongtang and Lian Shuzhou quickly turned to look.
Amidst the swirling dust, a voice called out, “A Qi!” Several burly men could no longer contain themselves and rushed over to check on their comrade who had been hit by the Energy Grenade.
However, when they reached him, they found that he was already missing limbs, blood pouring from his mouth and nose. It was clear that his internal organs had suffered severe damage. Even though he was desperately maintaining an energy shield, it had been unable to withstand the violent energy impact.
This man, caught in a treacherous ambush, was unlikely to survive.
“Who did this?” someone shouted in a fit of rage upon seeing their colleague in such a dire state.
In the dust, no one could see who was responsible.
Suddenly, two more Hand Grenades were thrown in!
This time, someone noticed just in time. The first person to react drew his Zhan Dao and swiftly swatted them back.
Boom! Boom!
The explosions echoed deafeningly throughout the cave.
“Damn it!” someone shouted as they could no longer hold back and charged into the thick fog with their blade drawn.
Bang! Bang!
Gunfire erupted continuously.
The energy bullets rained down like a torrential storm, and fortunately, the large man quickly raised his energy shield. However, the barrage of bullets struck the Energy Shield, creating countless flashes of light as Energy Bullets ricocheted off, flying in all directions and embedding themselves into the ground.
Once the round of bullets was spent, that figure swiftly shifted positions, and the other members of the Lian Family drew their weapons to shoot.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The hot weapons illuminated the dim cave, with deadly and dazzling beams of bullets crisscrossing each other.
Outside, Wu Lao felt particularly frustrated. He had just witnessed an explosion and was preparing to rush in with his team when a sudden flurry of gunfire erupted. However, the gunfire wasn’t directed at them, so Wu Lao was about to get up and charge inside.
Suddenly, the Lian Family's concentrated fire poured out like a torrential downpour, causing their concealed cave passage to ring with a clattering sound.
"Wu Lao, what do we do now?" The others asked urgently while dodging.
"Fight!" Wu Lao decisively declared. Clearly, hiding and ambushing was no longer meaningful. He was eager to find out who had launched the surprise attack on the Lian Family, triggering their frantic return fire.
Thus, both sides exchanged fire within the cave. Continuous bullets flew through the air, resulting in some injuries. However, most people were using physical ammunition to conserve Pulse Energy rather than relying on Energy Bullets formed from condensed Pulse Energy.
Lu Fei Fan hid in a corner, next to him lay a Lian Family sniper. In his hands was an Azure Serpent Energy Sniper Rifle that charged up an Energy Bullet and fired it towards Lian Chongtang!
Lian Chongtang raised his massive magma gauntlet. Clang!
The bullet struck against the gauntlet, sending sparks flying before bouncing away.
However, Lian Chongtang immediately noticed the trajectory from which it came and suddenly threw a punch towards that corner!
Boom.
Dust swirled in the air.
Lian Qingzong and Lian Shuzhou rushed over, discovering a man lying on his back.
"San Hu!" Lian Shuzhou reached out to check the man's pulse, but he had already drawn his last breath. The fatal wound was a sword thrust that pierced through his chest from behind.
Lian Qingzong tore open the man's clothing, revealing that the Tactical Armor beneath had also been penetrated.
Noticing the strange two holes in the armor, Lian Qingzong stood up and scanned the surroundings. "It was him!"
Lian Shuzhou also surveyed the area and said, "This man killed A Qi and San Hu. Both of them were at the level of advanced General, just a step away from Special-Class General. Could that person be a Special-Class General? Otherwise, how could he approach us so silently without us noticing?"
"Young Master, this man was previously injured by the clan leader; he definitely wouldn't dare to linger with us!" Jiang Lao coughed twice when suddenly two bullets shot towards them.
Lian Qingzong raised his Fire Cloud Broad Sword to deflect the bullets, clanging as sparks flew.
With a burst of fire, Lian Qingzong charged toward the direction from which the bullets came, only to see a figure rushing at him, wielding a Zhan Dao that came crashing down.
Clang!
The Fire Cloud Broad Sword ignited with fierce flames and swept across.
Boom!
The figure was knocked back repeatedly before turning to flee.
Lian Qingzong chased after the figure, but as he swung his Fire Cloud Broad Sword, the opponent effortlessly dodged with a peculiar footwork.
"This is... Nine Palace Steps!?" Lian Qingzong recognized the technique immediately. It was a popular yet not particularly advanced martial art practiced by many cultivators in the Free Federation, often relied upon as a life-saving skill.
Lian Qingzong was not one to fall behind; he employed the Lian Family's footwork. With each step he took, lotus flowers of energy began to bloom around him.
"Step by Step Lotus?" Lian Shuzhou was surprised that his son had grasped the secret technique of the Lian Family at such a critical moment.
"Young Master, your... cough cough cough..." Jiang Lao, holding his sword, wanted to assist but found himself still recovering from injuries sustained on the Chaotic Staircase. His body was too weak to help, even if he wished to.
"Jiang Lao, you should rest for now," Lian Shuzhou urged him to stay back.
"But Young Master..." Jiang Lao was worried, lowering his head as he struggled to suppress a cough. "Cough cough..."
Lian Shuzhou could see that the old man genuinely cared for his son. He patted Jiang Lao's shoulder and pulled out several White Emperor Star Fruits, stuffing them into Jiang Lao's mouth.
Jiang Lao stared in shock at his master but felt a wave of gratitude as he chewed on the White Emperor Star Fruit. Suddenly, his eyes widened as an energy like liquid surged into his body. It revitalized him completely; the Pulse Energy that had been slowly draining from him began to flow back into his body, even enhancing his strength and aura.
The fire in the cave roared under Lu Fei Fan's instigation.
Now that the battle had begun, some no longer held back, especially Wu Lao's subordinates. Seeing the White Emperor Star Fruit, they refused to let anyone from the Lian Family consume it. They unleashed their Energy Grenades and ammunition without hesitation.
Both sides suffered losses; gunfire echoed through the air but soon began to dwindle, with only sporadic shots ringing out.
Clearly, both sides were running low on ammunition and were entering a brutal close-quarters combat phase!
"Kill!" Wu Lao led the charge, drawing a serrated combat sword and rushing forward.
A bald muscular man wielding the Zhanma Dakan Dao approached, and their weapons clashed in the air, creating intense vibrations of Pulse Energy.
Wu Lao stepped back, and the man with the machete also retreated. Both had underestimated each other, but in the next moment, they fiercely re-engaged. Both were at the level of Special-Class Generals, and their battle was evenly matched, causing those around them to keep their distance. The overwhelming Pulse Energy radiating from their weapon swings made it clear that anyone taking a full-force hit from either would be at a severe disadvantage.
It was a clash of kings, weapons against weapons.
On the battlefield, everyone prioritized choosing opponents suited to their abilities.
Lian Chongtang saw the chaotic melee and noticed some reckless individuals charging at him with Zhan Daos. He dodged and sent one flying with a punch, only to have another swing a Battle Axe at him. With a swift kick, he sent that attacker sprawling as well.
He was curious about these masked fellows who had rushed in from outside. There were no identifiable markings on them; the only thing they shared was their masks.
Lian Chongtang didn’t have time to ponder their origins. He turned to pack away bags of White Emperor Star Fruits he had collected, preparing to leave. His purpose for coming here was to seek the White Emperor's Legacy, and the White Emperor Star Fruits were part of that goal. Having gathered a good haul, it was best to exit before things got more chaotic.
However, the sounds of fighting and recent explosions naturally attracted others outside.
“Look! It’s the White Emperor Star Fruit!” Some people jumped into the cave and gasped upon seeing the fruits growing above them.
“Quick! Harvest them!” Someone immediately reached out to pick the fruits.
Swish, swish, swish—
More and more people continued to enter.
Clearly, many had followed the sounds of explosions up the Chaotic Staircase to find this place.
“White Emperor Star Fruit!”
"This area was harvested by me first! Get lost!"
"Is it really yours?"
"You're asking for death!"
The newcomers began to fight among themselves over the White Emperor Star Fruit.
Little did they know, someone was watching them coldly from the sidelines—Lian Chongtang.
Wearing oversized gauntlets that blazed with flames, he unleashed a powerful punch at the descending crowd. A meteor-like burst of fire surged forth, engulfing many of the strong contenders who were still preoccupied with fighting for the fruit, leaving them no chance to escape.
Ahhh—
Suddenly, someone screamed as they were reduced to ashes.
The others quickly realized what was happening and looked at Lian Chongtang in fear.
"He’s a War God!"
"Everyone, unite!"
"Yes, there’s strength in numbers. Let’s take him down!"
A dozen strong fighters drew their weapons, warily eyeing Lian Chongtang. Filled with confidence, they believed that by banding together against a War God, they stood a good chance of defeating him.
But they had no idea that Lian Chongtang had already consumed several White Emperor Star Fruits. His status as a War God had advanced from high rank to Special Class, a significant leap in power.
“Kill me? Hmph.” Lian Chongtang seemed to have heard a great joke, as his two gauntlets ignited with surging flames once more. This time, however, the flames were no longer dark red but golden!
“Go! What are you waiting for?” Someone led the charge forward.
“If you want to die, I’ll gladly oblige!” Lian Chongtang raised his gauntlet and struck the ground with a thunderous punch. Boom!
The powerful shockwave shattered the passageway, and the intense golden flames rippled outward, sending everyone flying as if they had been struck hard.
After dealing with these insignificant foes, Lian Chongtang looked up at the sprawling White Emperor Starfruit Vine extending into other caves. It hung like an endless galaxy of stars from the cave ceiling. To his astonishment, every cave seemed to have White Emperor Star Fruits dangling above, stretching even further.
With these fruits, creating a warlord-level army would be far from a dream. The thought of leaving the Free Federation to establish his own kingdom in other seas made Lian Chongtang's face light up with anticipation.
At that moment, a slender figure descended from the upper cave.
It was Dongfang Hui!
“Hm? The White Emperor Star Fruit!” Dongfang Hui looked up and spotted the dazzling ‘galaxy’ hanging above the cave.
But her sense of crisis kicked in as she glanced toward the entrance. There stood Lian Chongtang, watching her with an indifferent gaze that felt quite unfriendly. The pulsating Pulse Energy around him reverberated ominously, exuding an intimidating presence!
