Chapter 924: Chapter 792: Prepared for the Unexpected

The source of the noise was the wood armor draped over Taylor, which was beginning to crack due to the extreme cold.

In theory, the defense of the Wood Attribute is quite decent, especially at the Supreme level, capable of withstanding small ship cannons.

However, in the battles of the Awakened, it ultimately depends on cultivation level and micro-operation skills.

Granny Jia managed not only to restrain the opponent but also directly cracked the Ice Armor—truly a mark of her former brilliance.

Qu Jianlei, with just a casual perception, knew that Taylor’s life was not in danger.

So, the old lady showed mercy... He helplessly raised his eyebrows.

From the start, Qu Jianlei didn’t take Taylor seriously, mainly because he was a Supreme Wood Attribute.

Dealing with such a person, he didn’t have to do anything deliberate, just tossing out a couple of cans of Paraquat would do the trick.

Granny Jia was naturally aware of this, so she pleaded beforehand, hoping to spare the person.

But this guy was bent on courting death, even after the old lady’s explicit warnings, he forcefully intervened.

As for the reason, Qu Jianlei didn’t even need to think to know where the hostility came from.

However, he found it quite baffling as well—so what if he developed a Wood Attribute Exclusive Poison? It also has positive significance!

Knives and guns can kill, but the fault lies not with the weapons, but with the users.

Now that the poison has been developed, and others have begun to imitate it, it’s unreasonable for the opponent to cause trouble for him.

To put it bluntly, they just wanted to vent their anger, or it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it ”misdirected anger.”

Realizing this, Qu Jianlei truly felt like he wanted to turn hostile and kill—he’s seen people courting death, but never anyone so determined to do so.

However, Granny Jia’s intervention was too swift, and feeling the faint wave of the Water Element, he ultimately chose to ignore.

He darted back to the attic, searching for the Storage Talisman of the Divine Text Association Supreme, while projecting his spiritual power, ”?”

This was his new application of spiritual power, which could transmit some emotions in addition to perceiving the surroundings.

It was somewhat similar to divine sense communication during the Golden Core Stage.

Granny Jia had also pondered this application; while it couldn’t convey complex messages, simple emotions were no problem.

The spiritual power she sent back contained a very strong sense of apology: Sorry, I will handle this matter well.

Not letting me kill him? Qu Jianlei helplessly shook his head, finally giving up on the idea of killing him.

However, being spared from death doesn’t mean escaping punishment.

He raised his hand to restrain Taylor and, after searching him, took away two Storage Talismans.

The Divine Text Association Supreme had three Storage Talismans on him, and he gained eight Storage Talismans from this battle.

Unfortunately, there were no storage rings or space pouches; otherwise, it would have been perfect.

Before leaving, he tossed a can of Paraquat on the ground, with the mountain winds and light rain, the poison should disperse quickly.

Nevertheless, Qu Jianlei didn’t mind; he scattered Paraquat mainly to express his attitude.

—Since you despise Paraquat so much, I’ll let you taste it!

At the same time, this act was also a demonstration against the Divine Text Association: Not only has Panda returned, but he also doesn’t mind using Paraquat!

As for whether it would attract more hatred, then let it be so; even if he wanted to lower his profile, others may not appreciate it.

Judging from Taylor’s reaction, some people still harbor deep resentment.

Granny Jia, sensing this scene, also shook her head helplessly.

She had already tried hard to spare the opponent’s life, and she couldn’t stop Panda from venting his anger.

The next moment, Qu Jianlei’s figure flickered and disappeared into the vast rainy night.

However, Taylor wasn’t heavily poisoned; there was also a female C-level Awakened by his side.

At the beginning of the battle, this woman could only shiver at the side.

Firstly, this was not a battle she could interfere with, and secondly... the opponent didn’t seem to want to attack Taylor.

Unfortunately, their Supreme took the initiative to attack, resulting in a counterattack from the opponent.

But even so, no one attacked her; the murderous figure directly treated her as invisible.

Seeing the opponent leave, she nervously moved over to help clean up the Paraquat.

The damage Taylor suffered was even less than Qu Jianlei had predicted—the cracking of the wood armor indirectly lessened the harm.

However, even then, Taylor immediately went to the hospital, yet it still took him over ten years to expel all the poison.

And that wasn’t the end; the damage to convergence took him over another decade to recover, consuming thirty years altogether.

If not for this mishap, he might have had the opportunity to challenge something beyond Supreme level.

Although the success of the challenge was almost impossible, theoretically, it was worth trying.

This way, even the chance to try was omitted, making one wonder if it was a blessing in disguise.

After Qu Jianlei and his companion left, they headed straight for the military region on Star No. 2.

The agreement was to act together, and now they didn’t know the situation of the Paranoid and others, so they had to provide support.

However, the two had just run a few steps when they saw a thick lightning bolt light up in the distance.

Granny Jia frowned slightly at the sight, ”Is this... comparable to a supreme attack?”

She had a deep impression of Bentley; not only did he have the rare Electromagnetic Attribute, but he also exuded a distinct daredevil temperament.

Thus, even if he wasn’t born on Garbage Star, he had at least spent many years as a Pioneer Team Member.

But she clearly remembered that he had only recently advanced to A-level, with an aura that was still quite shallow.

Yet now he could launch an attack of this magnitude, how did he do it?

Qu Jianlei saw this and chuckled, ”I gave him an Attribute Weapon, which provides a sufficiently strong attribute enhancement.”

”An Electromagnetic-specific Weapon?” Granny Jia responded in surprise, casting a glance at him, ”Can you even get such a thing?”

Qu Jianlei chuckled at her words, ”Just a stroke of luck.”

He wasn’t being modest; he indeed obtained the Thunder Ram Horn by luck, and specifically spoke up to Luo Hanshuang about it at the time.

Granny Jia was clearly a bit skeptical but simply rolled her eyes, ”Your luck... is really extraordinary.”

Now that’s what I like to hear! Qu Jianlei nodded with a smile, finally, someone doesn’t think I’m attracting misfortune!

Just then, the handheld device in his arms vibrated but made no sound.

It was agreed upon by everyone that when communication was needed, vibrations would be used first to avoid affecting the actions of companions.

Qu Jianlei picked up the handheld device and spoke, ”We’ve finished here and are on our way to support.”

”No need,” Flower Scorpion’s voice came from the other side, ”We’ve already left the scene; Paranoid thinks it’s safe.”

”Alright then, keep in touch,” Qu Jianlei said casually, ”We’ll meet at the second location.”

The second location wasn’t far from the valley, just over forty kilometers away, and they should arrive there faster than Paranoid’s group.

This choice was also due to a reason; Granny Jia had been initiating rain all afternoon, and the second location was also within the rain-covered range.

It’s truly worthy of being a supreme leader, unknowingly able to mobilize such a large area of Water Elements.

The location was a small town, with a private estate that Granny Jia had purchased under an alias.

She wasn’t overly cautious, purely buying it as an asset for leisure and staying there for a few days occasionally.

For a supreme leader, buying an estate wasn’t a big deal.

The two had barely entered the estate when Paranoid’s group arrived.

As planned, upon learning that Qu Jianlei was taking action, Paranoid immediately launched a Spiritual Attack on the second supreme leader.

There were several Awakened next to the supreme leader, but Paranoid dispatched them as easily as slicing vegetables.

The Hunting Team, managed by the Divine Text Association, quickly responded, signaling for help while focusing their attack on Paranoid.

Paranoid’s combat power was incredibly strong, but the Hunting Team’s tactics were very sophisticated, with a clever combination of various Attribute Techniques.

He had no choice but to rely on his Cultivation Level to confront them head-on, but this process caused considerable interference, reducing his combat effectiveness.

”I really didn’t expect that the opponent would possess Dark Attribute and Electromagnetic Attribute, they are definitely an Elite Level Hunting Team!”

The sides clashed fiercely, and with the Military receiving a call for help, they were ready to provide assistance that could reach the battlefield in an instant.

At the critical moment, Bentley wielded the Thunder Ram Horn and suddenly launched an Electromagnetic Attack.

The Hunting Team was really caught off guard; they realized the invading supreme’s power was very strong, requiring full concentration to counter.

They weren’t even considering elimination, merely hoping to entangle them so they couldn’t easily leave the battlefield.

So their combat plan was highly targeted, not considering the addition of another supreme combat power.

—If such a level of combat power were available, wouldn’t it be used immediately?

Not to mention, it was a very unreasonable Electromagnetic Attribute supreme, even a different Attribute wouldn’t render the Hunting Team as passive.

Following a Thunder Attack, Paranoid immediately entered a frenzy killing mode, in just a few seconds, heads were rolling.

The military’s support was already nearing, but upon seeing the Thunder Technique, they instantly halted!

Granny Jia, from afar, could sense the strength of the Electromagnetic Technique, her Cultivation Level was too high.

The military reinforcements weren’t highly cultivated, but the distance was too close, they couldn’t fail to sense its power.

The reinforcements were immediately at a loss; they had come to help hunt a supreme leader, never expecting there would be two supreme leaders opposite.

Considering the Divine Text Association’s supreme leader had already been ambushed and was unconscious, this battle was really tough.

Soldiers abide by orders as a cardinal rule, but their aid was not due to a military command.

There was a kinship with the Divine Text Association, a need to maintain public security, and even the military’s reputation was involved.

However, these factors lacked the most crucial element—formal orders from a superior!

As they hesitated, Paranoid had already slaughtered the entire Hunting Team and decisively retreated from the scene.

The military reinforcements made a symbolic pursuit, but Bentley fired another thunderbolt.

He didn’t aim it at anyone, but the warning intent was crystal clear: whoever dares to come forward, don’t blame me for being ruthless!
