Deng Shentong’s pride was mercilessly trampled underfoot.
He spat blood from his mouth, his head struck by Gao Changkong and was sent flying out of the Martial Arena, heavily crashing down right in front of Zhu Zheng.
Members from both investigation teams simultaneously stopped their actions.
The members of the Reincarnation Squad wore smiles, seemingly not the least bit surprised by the outcome before them.
But on Zhu Zheng’s side, everyone was deeply gripped by fear.
Previously, they had been reckless because they knew Deng Shentong was backing them up.
Yet unexpectedly, Deng Shentong had been defeated by Gao Changkong!
If he had lost to Phoenixin Ren before, they could still cover it up by blaming betrayal from a traitor.
Zhu Zheng’s voice trembled uncontrollably.
Even as a battle-hardened soldier, at his age, he could no longer ignore the threat of death.
“Since you have such strength, why didn’t you let us know earlier? If that were the case, I would have trained you properly. You might even have become the next commander!”
Zhu Zheng tried to soothe Gao Changkong in this way.
Gao Changkong sneered coldly, “Oh, would you?”
“I’m not saying I never gave you a chance. Actually, this entire siege against Moon of Corrosion was orchestrated by me.”
“As long as you gave me the chance to be the protagonist of this event, I could have waited longer.”
He sighed, shaking his head with a hint of regret.
“But in your eyes, power is above all else. You would rather let an outsider from the Outer City, who doesn’t understand the true strength, take the lead than give me the opportunity.”
“I have already given up all illusions about you.”
Gao Changkong gripped the Solar Wheel Sword and stepped forward towards Zhu Zheng.
Deng Shentong struggled to stand, and none of the New Celestial Squad members behind him flinched.
“Looks time, I really have to fight for my life!”
Gao Changkong mocked, “Planning to use drugs? But you should know your potential has already been pushed to the limit by Deng Technology’s advancements and brutal methods. Even with drugs, your strength won’t improve much; it will only speed up your death!”
Deng Shentong laughed, blood filling his mouth.
“That still needs to be tried before knowing!”
He calmly took Compound-5 for himself.
Moments later, a more powerful force erupted from within him.
Deng Shentong raised the rapier in his hand, aiming it at Gao Changkong before him.
An unparalleled terrifying power burst forth from the sword tip, instantly reaching Gao Changkong’s front!
Gao Changkong’s left hand had already formed a seal.
The fifth seal of the Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel lit up, and a gigantic treasure bottle materialized in front of him.
The mouth of the bottle aimed at Deng Shentong, absorbing all the horrifying power.
Deng Shentong clenched his teeth and roared, continuing to release energy.
A crack appeared on the treasure bottle’s body with a “crack” sound.
Gao Changkong’s expression involuntarily changed.
Although he could predict all of Deng Shentong’s attack methods and routes, when a captain-level opponent was fighting for his life, he couldn’t respond calmly.
“Immovable Wisdom King!”
Gao Changkong shouted loudly, and a huge illusory figure of the Immovable Wisdom King appeared behind him, arms spread wide, firmly protecting him in its embrace.
The treasure bottle could not withstand Deng Shentong’s power and exploded loudly, releasing terrifying energy.
The building’s floors were shaken by the energy; the bulletproof glass covering the floors outside shattered and was blasted outward by the shockwave.
Even the interior structures were heavily damaged.
As a result, the view became transparent, and everything was caught within Zhang Yi’s distant sight.
He saw Gao Changkong retreating more than ten steps, blood spilling from his mouth.
Deng Shentong’s eyes were wide open in fury, bloodshot, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His condition was far from good.
The two captains fought a battle where both sides suffered serious injuries.
Only then did Zhang Yi slowly stand up.
“It’s time for me to make my appearance!”
“The hero in the story always appears at the most critical moment, turning the tide of disaster, and saving the collapsing tower.”
Holding the Holy Judgment sword in his right hand, he took a step forward and instantly appeared outside the Command Center building.
There, he silently hovered in midair.
A mass of black dark matter shrouded his Holy Judgment sword, like a burning dark flame.
Zhang Yi’s sudden appearance on the battlefield caught everyone’s attention.
Some recognized the captain’s mark exclusive to the Celestial Hound Squad on him.
“It’s the captain of the Celestial Hound Squad, Chaos!”
“He’s arrived! Thank goodness, the commander is saved!”
The soldiers below showed excited expressions, feeling greatly relieved.
Almost everyone looked up at Zhang Yi as if gazing upon a star of hope.
But there were also some with low gazes and gloomy expressions.
Ignoring the shouts below, Zhang Yi swung the Holy Judgment sword, slashing at the black barrier in front of him!
The invincible barrier shattered like glass with a thunderous crash!
The Command Center brightened again.
At the same time, the dark matter surged into the building like a tidal fire, fiercely burning!
The structure shattered, and the entire floor was engulfed in dark matter.
This dark matter surged toward the position of the Reincarnation Squad members.
Everyone was shocked, especially Gao Changkong, whose eyes showed astonishment for the first time.
Because no matter what, he never expected that after such a brutal battle, Zhang Yi was not only alive but could arrive on the battlefield so quickly!
“Treasure Bottle Seal!”
Gao Changkong immediately formed a seal and summoned the treasure bottle to block the power of this move.
Zhang Yi quietly hovered outside the building, looking down at everyone inside.
At this moment, he looked like a deity.
After devouring the essences of several captains and vice-captain level opponents, his strength had greatly increased.
Now his spatial power was enough to support him breaking free from gravity.
“Gao Changkong, I’ve come to seek revenge!”
The Holy Judgment in Zhang Yi’s hand radiated with black void power, pointing directly at Gao Changkong.
With Zhang Yi’s appearance, the battlefield situation instantly reversed.
Zhu Zheng’s heart, which had been hanging in his throat, settled considerably.
He thought silently: Fortunately, Zhang Yi arrived in time. If he had come any later, we all might have died here!
Deng Shentong coughed blood, forced to accept the fact that he was no match for Gao Changkong.
But Zhang Yi’s arrival brought him some consolation.
At least his failure would not lead to Zhu Zheng’s death.
Everyone looked at Zhang Yi with awe, gratitude, and a variety of emotions.
But one thing was certain: Zhang Yi’s prestige among Blizzard City’s high-ranking officials and ordinary soldiers had reached its highest level ever!
This word appeared in everyone’s mind.
So they say, it’s better to arrive early than to arrive perfectly timed!
On the Reincarnation Squad side, the situation grew somewhat unfavorable.
Gao Changkong had suffered a serious injury from Deng Shentong’s desperate strike.
If he faced both Zhang Yi and Deng Shentong working together, his chances of victory might not be so high.
However, Gao Changkong had his own method.
“Meditation Seal, Prediction!”
He once again used the Reincarnation Prediction ability, attempting to foresee the future of this battle targeting Zhang Yi!
Moments later, a smile curled on his lips.
Because in the future he saw, he was still the final winner!
