Chapter 445: Chapter 317: Ambushes on All Sides

The Spirit Fox was somewhat surprised by Black Heaven’s decision, but still answered straightforwardly, ”Okay!”

Qu Jianlei put away the handset and swiftly left the room.

Outside, it was already a chaotic mess, with rain, mud, burning air...

And a strange smell—mixed with blood, rust, scorched proteins, discarded oil, and more.

Qu Jianlei wrinkled his nose, turned two corners along the alley, and didn’t forget to cast a layer of Golden Armor and a layer of Rock Armor on himself.

Then he raised his hand and performed a Finger Technique, ”Thunder Strike Skill~”

Thunder Dragon comes with automatic locking ability, which Thunder Strike Skill also has, though less effectively.

However, Thunder Dragon is a parallel attack, easily encountering various defensive measures. He won’t rely on the opponent being unprepared.

Thunder Strike descends from the sky, and there are defensive measures against it too, but far fewer, and it’s not easy for others to help.

In fact, this was the case; Grell also considered how to deal with being attacked by Thunder Dragon—this technique is very hard to dodge.

However, the B-level Warrior in the Diamond Team stated that this method is not difficult to prevent; just a series of Golden Shields will guide it away.

This is team battle; some attacks don’t require you to withstand independently. Naturally, teammates will help share the burden.

Grell thought this made sense, but the team members also warned him to be careful of the Thunder Strike Skill.

The vice-captain of the Diamond Team was not happy to hear this; Thunder Strike Skill... Am I supposed to be afraid?

He was originally A-level; Black Heaven is only B-level. Being able to consider preventing Thunder Dragon has already prepared him.

He felt that suddenly encountering a Thunder Dragon might catch him a bit off guard, but Thunder Strike Skill... just dodge it, right?

If you truly can’t dodge, taking a hit head-on might not be that damaging.

Moreover, he believes if Black Heaven really wants to strike, Star Thief should be the priority.

The Fourth Master has a Gold Attribute; Thunder Dragon works wonders against him. The Second Master’s defense is unparalleled and has significant damage, and it would be effective against him too.

He feels even against his deputy—the A-level Fire Attribute—the effects would be better than against himself.

When he noticed a bolt of lightning directly striking down, he was indeed somewhat startled, ”Could it be targeting me?”

At this moment, a Gold Attribute B-level member of Qian Duoduo Team made a move, enduring the attack of the technique, raising a hand with a Finger Technique, ”Golden Thread~”

The binding technique of B-level has a negligible effect on A-level.

However, having it or not really does make a difference; with just a slight stall, Grell ultimately couldn’t escape the Thunder Strike Skill’s lock.

A Thunder Strike Skill struck down, followed closely by another, while he hadn’t recovered from the stiffness, and took another hit, directly breaking his defense.

Electromagnetic not only restrains Gold Attribute but also Water, though its effect on Ice Attribute is not as obvious.

However, the scene had already descended into chaos, the air wasn’t very clean, and impurities in ice made it more conductive.

And when Qu Jianlei strikes, he usually aims for perfect results; even though his Inner Breath wasn’t abundant, he still delivered two hits.

The next moment, a massive Golden Wheel appeared out of nowhere, swiftly slashing towards Grell.

”Spirit Fox is here?” Grell was suddenly astonished; this is Spirit Fox’s signature technique, capable of limited tracking—Golden Wheel Slash.

He had considered that if the Pioneer Team forcefully attacked the central control, some A-levels might come injured to participate in the battle.

But Spirit Fox making a move still somewhat caught him by surprise.

The most crucial point was that he was not only broken in defense but also in a stiff state, only able to watch wide-eyed as Golden Wheel Slash approached.

”Rock Cannon~” At a critical moment, the Second Master made a move, a stone of millstone size confronted the Golden Wheel.

Golden Wheel cut through the rock effortlessly, like a hot knife cutting through butter, continuing its slash towards Grell.

The Second Master was also taken aback, ”Whoa, is this guy that strong?”

He had heard about Spirit Fox not just once or twice, knowing this guy’s combat power is extraordinary, but the two had never crossed paths.

Since coming to Zarif, Second Master mainly guarded the control center, almost never going out.

And when Star Thief invaded, Spirit Fox happened to be pioneering with his team at the front, the two didn’t meet.

Later, the two never fought each other, but the strength of Spirit Fox was well known to the Second Master.

However, he didn’t take it seriously; Gold Attribute’s offensive capabilities are unrivaled, but Earth Attribute’s defense is the strongest.

But the sharpest spear and sturdiest shield... are naturally born to disagree!

Even if Spirit Fox is at the peak of A-level, I am half a step to Supreme.

Later, Second Master heard that Spirit Fox was injured and hadn’t healed for a long time, so he cared even less.

This time he intervened to save Grell, not thinking to block the opponent’s ultimate move, but blocking it should be no problem, right?

His Rock Cannon was his prideful technique, and yet it was effortlessly slashed through, which really was unexpected.

Could this guy have recovered?

Second Master didn’t dwell on whether Spirit Fox had recovered; the truth and lies released by opposing sides don’t matter much.

The key issue was that the technique he used hadn’t caused any delay, which amounted to ineffective response.

Ineffective response equals misjudgment, a mistake occurring for Second Master, truly a slap in the face.

Not to mention, his Rock Cannon was easily defeated by the Spirit Fox’s Golden Wheel Slash. Besides judgment ability, there’s also the issue of strength.

More importantly, the two of them, one spear and one shield, are a natural counter!

The Second Master originally thought the Rock Cannon could slightly hinder the opponent, then a few Rock Shields could block the attack.

But now it seems... it’s a bit too late, and he wasn’t sure if the hastily formed Rock Shield could stop the Golden Wheel Slash.

So he flashed forward, directly standing in front of Grell.

He performed a finger technique, forming a solid Rock Shield, shouted, ”Stop!”

There’s a slight difference in battles between A-level fighters from the two factions.

A-level Star Pirates all hover in the air, not very high, about three to four meters, mainly because they don’t need to worry about hot weapons.

A-level Pioneers can’t do this, with Star Pirates’ hot weapons everywhere, flying up easily attracts concentrated fire.

However, standing on the ground isn’t feasible either, as the once flat surface is now chaotic.

Besides mud and pitfalls, they must also beware of the Second Master’s Rock Spikes and Quicksand.

So, A-level Pioneers fly about two or three feet above the ground, far less than the three to four meters of free movement.

The Second Master took advantage of this, easily flying to shield Grell from attacks.

Of course, he wasn’t really intending to shield anyone.

Even if Grell is a defector Pioneer, who among the Star Pirates is worth taking a bullet for?

Primarily, the Spirit Fox’s attack was a blow to his face, not just any embarrassment.

Angrily, he directly blocked in front of Grell, not expecting the hastily formed Rock Shield to be strong, daring the opponent to break his defense!

Is it dangerous? A bit, but when caught up in the fight, who cares?

In fact, he didn’t believe that the Golden Wheel Slash, after cutting through the Rock Cannon and Rock Shield, could also break his defense!

The Second Master donned three layers of Rock Armor, any A-level Gold Attribute alone would find it hard to pierce it.

His reaction was somewhat in defiance, and the Spirit Fox’s Golden Wheel Slash strength... truly lived up to the rumor.

After slicing through the Rock Cannon and Rock Shield, the Golden Wheel directly tore through the three layers of Rock Armor, cutting a foot-long gash on the Second Master’s chest.

The power of the Golden Wheel Slash isn’t just in slicing; it’s also in its high-speed rotation that causes such destructive force.

However, its power could only go so far; cutting into the Second Master’s chest, the deepest part of the wound was less than a centimeter.

At the next moment, the Golden Wheel began to appear illusory, as it was being repelled by the Second Master himself.

Almost simultaneously, a Flaming Meteor descended from the sky, striking the stunned Grell precisely.

Then came a cold snort, ”Do you really regard me, Pan Yifu, as nothing?”

It turns out Old Pan noticed Black Heaven charging out, and while puzzled, sudden sounds of thunder came from outside.

Pan Yifu could not sit still. He really didn’t want to intervene, but Black Heaven was indeed someone he relied on.

In his plan, Black Heaven was crucial, so no injuries or power depletion could be allowed.

He rushed out, saw an Ice Attribute A-level falling freely to the ground, and instinctively shot out a Flaming Meteor.

The Flaming Meteor hit Grell head-on, turning him pitch black instantly.

This was only because Old Pan didn’t use full strength—he felt this was enough force and anything more would be overkill.

Otherwise, what happens when ice and fire meet? It’s not just a few levels of power, but truly explosive!

All this seems lengthy in words but was only a matter of two to three seconds at the scene.

Watching Grell blast by the Flaming Meteor, becoming unknown dead or alive, the Second Master had eyes wide with fury.

Yet before he could react, several vines sprang up from the ground, spiraling straight into the sky.

Seeing the ascent speed of the vines, the Second Master took a sharp breath, ”Another A-level?”

Judging cultivation level by speed had some bias, but he trusted his judgment.

Too much bullying! He was about to evade, but three Golden Spears swiftly flew toward him, blocking upward and sideways movement.

Now he could only choose to fall underground or retreat.

Falling underground was obviously impossible! So he could only retreat quickly.

However, at that very moment, Hongyun seized the opportunity—he had been fighting against Grell and another A-level two-on-one.

Grell’s life was uncertain now, and Hongyun barely managed to muster some focus, performed a small finger technique, ”Silken Bind~”

He had a Water Attribute; Silken Bind was a Water Element binding technique, less powerful than Water Tornado but quick to cast.

The Second Master was caught by Silken Bind during his retreat, but he broke free with some effort.

A shadow flashed; it was the Fourth Master abandoning his own opponent and instant flashing over.

He grabbed the Second Master’s shoulder, shouted loudly, ”Retreat!”

Retreat? The present Star Pirates were dumbfounded, was it directed at us?

Immediately after, another Golden Wheel spun and slashed its way over.
