Holding Their Own Space, the Family Returns to the Apocalypse

166: It was you, you vixen, who killed Mingyao!”Hmph, stop trying to be brave. The entire Safety Tower is now under our control. What’s laughable is that the highly esteemed Chief Gong is hiding somewhere like a coward, yet he pushed you two brothers out to die. How truly pathetic.”

Ming Tao’s face was contorted, his eyes bloodshot as he roared hoarsely, ”Gong Qiuqiu, I want your entire Gu Clan to get down on their knees and apologize to my son in the afterlife!”

Gong Qiumu tilted his head back disdainfully and said with contempt, ”Stop dreaming. If anyone’s going down to join your son, it’ll be your whole family. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be far too lonely and bored?”

”Hmph, toothless brat, what’s the use of mere talk? Even if you talk until the heavens fall, your family’s fate is sealed with a single word: death! Attack!”

Ming Tao waved his hand, and hundreds upon thousands of bullets flew toward the group.

Gong Qiuqiu gently raised a hand, and an invisible, transparent Light Screen appeared before them.

The incoming bullets crackled and clattered, scattering all over the ground in front of the Light Screen.

”You’ve already awakened your physical Superpower? Impossible! At the seminar, everyone was supposed to awaken their Superpowers according to the list. You—it wasn’t your turn yet. How did you awaken it?”

Ming Tao was beyond furious. The people of the Gong Family were truly shameless, acting one way in public and another in private, secretly hoarding energy stones and even awakening their Superpowers.

”Heh... so it’s okay for you to steal energy stones to awaken your physical Superpowers, but not for me to awaken mine? Why are you so double-standard!”

Gong Qiuqiu looked at the fuming Ming Tao as if he were an idiot.

”Shameless scum! The Safety Tower should never have been handed over to your Gong Family.” Ming Tao pointed a finger at Gong Qiumu, his face full of rage. ”Hmph, do you think your measly Superpower can really stop me?”

As he waved his hand again, two rows of warriors in black appeared behind him.

Their movements were disciplined and orderly as they unleashed dazzling bursts of Superpowers, one after another, crashing against the Light Screen Gong Qiuqiu had raised.

Seeing that Gong Qiuqiu could no longer hold on, Gu Xiheng and the others finally made their move.

Gu Xiheng and Mo Li cooperated; the fire fed on the wind, sweeping toward the two rows of Ability Warriors like a prairie fire.

The others weren’t idle either, each activating their Superpowers.

The most outstanding among them was Cheng Siyu; her Ice Blades shimmered with brilliant colors under the sun, shooting rapidly toward the opponents.

Two people couldn’t dodge in time and were hit squarely, turned into pincushions in an instant.

Witnessing this, Ming Tao’s eyes instantly turned red. ”It’s you! It was you, this enchantress, who killed my son!”

The others were startled by his words, but they didn’t stop what they were doing.

A sharp glint flashed in Cheng Siyu’s eyes, and she waved her hand again, sending even more and sharper Ice Blades flying toward Ming Yao.

Ming Yao didn’t even have time for anger; he hurriedly hid behind the others in fear. A small fireball even appeared in his hand as he tried to protect himself, but the energy of the fireball was too low, and protecting himself was a struggle.

At this moment, Cheng Siyu showed her ruthlessness. Fearing that Ming Tao might say something he shouldn’t, she attacked him relentlessly, focusing all her efforts on him alone.

But the Ability Warriors around him were no pushovers, and they blocked Cheng Siyu’s attacks one after another.

Although Ming Tao’s side had lower Superpower levels, they had the advantage of numbers, so the two sides fought back and forth, evenly matched.

Seeing this, Ming Tao was no longer afraid. He became somewhat arrogant and triumphant. ”Gong Qiuqiu, I advise you to stop struggling! Why do you think I’ve been stalling you for so long?”

”Haha, to tell you the truth, at this very moment, the entire base has completely become the domain of my Ming Family. My goal was to stall you, the little brat known as the ’Mastermind.’ As long as I keep you here, no matter how many schemes you have, you’ll have no place to use them!”

Hearing Ming Tao’s words, Gong Qiuqiu didn’t panic but said indifferently, ”You certainly have a vivid imagination!”

”A vivid imagination? Hmph, you can only talk big. The matter is already settled; you are destined to fail to make any waves.”

Then his tone shifted as he added, ”However, I can spare everyone except you, as long as you hand that woman over to me.”

With a face full of malice, he pointed at Cheng Siyu, his gaze seemingly laced with venom, staring at her like a poisonous snake.

Cheng Siyu was frightened by his terrifying gaze and took two steps back.

Gu Xiheng’s brow furrowed, and he immediately refused. ”She is my fiancée. This is absolutely impossible!”

Cheng Siyu turned her head sharply, her eyes filled with pleasant surprise.

She hadn’t expected this. She had forced him to marry her and thought he must be disgusted with her. She never imagined that at the critical moment, he would still stand by her side and protect her.

”Hmph, even if she were the fiancée of the King of Heaven himself, she wouldn’t be protected today.”

Having said that, Ming Tao turned and vanished into the crowd. Then, several well-trained groups pushed out artillery pieces, their barrels aimed directly at Gong Qiuqiu’s group.

From behind the crowd came Ming Tao’s arrogant laughter. ”Gong Qiuqiu, go to heaven along with your little friends! Hahaha...”

Gong Qiumu looked resentful. ”That bastard son of a bitch! He deserves to have his son die. To think he’s so insidious and cruel, he even prepared artillery!”

”Whoa, those dark muzzles of the artillery look so scary,” Mo Li said with a fake smile.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a Tornado instantly whipped up from the ground, heading toward the rows of artillery. The others weren’t idle either, unleashing their strongest Superpowers. An overwhelming barrage of Superpowers exploded in front of the artillery.

Smoke filled the air, making it impossible to see the situation ahead.

Once the dust settled, Ming Tao was about to order them to fire, only to find that there was no sign of Gong Qiuqiu’s group anywhere.

He cried out in shock, ”Where are they?” He rushed out from the crowd in a panic, standing in the empty space and shouting urgently.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment, unable to understand how everyone had vanished in such a short time without a sound.

Everyone lowered their guard and began looking around.

Just then, Gong Qiuqiu and the others suddenly appeared, catching the opposition off guard. All the critical components of the artillery were destroyed, and the Ability Warriors, lacking experience in using their Superpowers, were knocked to the ground one after another, losing their freedom.

Only Ming Tao and the soldiers without Superpowers remained.

Ming Tao stood there dazed.

Before Ming Tao could react, Gong Qiumu flicked a stone that hit him right on the forehead. Ming Tao’s eyes rolled back, and he collapsed unconscious.

Gong Qiuqiu then stepped forward and shouted loudly, ”Surrender and you shall not be killed!”

Those soldiers had simply picked the wrong side for some reason and were innocently caught up in this civil war.

Looking at the imposing Gong Qiuqiu, they did not resist and laid down their weapons one by one.

Those who were still hesitating eventually laid down their weapons as well; after all, who would want to die if they could live?

Seeing the situation, the Ability Warriors who were still struggling gave up and bowed their heads in submission.
