Chapter 788: The Beheading of the “Medium”
Amidst the shattered ice, the scarred white tiger staggered back to its feet, shaking off the strange state it had been cast into. Its fierce eyes fixed intently on the seven pillars of lightning surrounding it, and it let out an enraged roar.
Bu Li withdrew his gaze, looking ahead at the white tiger confined within the cage formed by the seven lightning pillars, and once again hid his face in the shadow of his hood.
Seven black figures stood motionless atop the silver lightning pillars, like statues. Once the white tiger’s furious roar subsided, they all simultaneously uttered a simple yet chilling syllable:
“——Kill!!”
The silver pillars beneath the seven erupted with blinding lightning, intertwining and coalescing to form a lightning cage that completely locked the white tiger inside.
The white tiger flapped its wings, attempting to break through the cage, but as soon as its body touched the surface of the lightning cage, it was violently repelled, its fur singed black as it stumbled back a few steps, growling lowly.
It was like a beast trapped in a lightning cage.
The seven members of the [Spirit Medium] team leaped down from the lightning pillars, darting towards the white tiger from different directions. The sharp glint of blades and the blinding lightning instantly engulfed the entire battlefield.
Feeling the terrifying fluctuations emanating from the battlefield, Lin Qiye’s expression grew increasingly complex.
The strength of the [Spirit Medium] team was far more terrifying than when he had seen them over two years ago at the fasting site.
Just from the fluctuations in their realms, only one member of the entire [Spirit Medium] team remained at the “Limitless” realm, while the other six had all reached “Klein.” Although Bu Li’s realm had not increased, the aura he exuded with every movement faintly carried the essence of a human peak-level powerhouse.
This strongest individual beneath the human ceiling was on the verge of a breakthrough.
Under the passage of time, no one remained stagnant. While Lin Qiye and his companions’ powers surged, other geniuses were also pursuing their own paths.
Lin Qiye had initially thought that the strength of the [Nightfall] team was sufficient to handle the responsibilities of a special team, but compared to the [Spirit Medium] team, there was still a significant gap… After all, they were still a newly formed special team, and the road ahead was long.
The [Spirit Medium] team killed the white tiger in less than ten seconds.
When the lightning dissipated and the blades returned to their sheaths, all that remained on the shattered ice was a corpse nearly crushed to dust, slowly sinking into the deep sea.
The seven figures cloaked in black did not even glance at the corpse, swaying slightly before returning to their respective lightning pillars, transforming into seven silver streaks shooting skyward, heading straight for the rear of the beast tide!
Their target had never been the weak “mystics” charging at the forefront of the beast tide.
The mission of the [Spirit Medium] was decapitation.
This instinct was built upon the responsibilities of the [Spirit Medium] team, which was tasked with eliminating the extremely dangerous and malicious superpowered individuals within the Great Xia territory. Thus, they were not adept at large-scale frontal confrontations; what they excelled at was clean and decisive decapitation actions.
The commanders at the peak of the “Klein” realm hidden at the very end of the beast tide were their true targets.
Of course, this did not mean they had abandoned the defense of the Shenlong Pass. On the contrary, they knew that the Shenlong Pass would not be breached, which is why they chose to head to the battlefield they were skilled in at the first opportunity…
Because the second support team had arrived.
Buzzing—!!
The roaring sound of aircraft swept across the sky. Lin Qiye looked up to see an armed transport plane breaking through the night, diving towards the Shenlong Pass!
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The rear door of the armed helicopter slowly opened, and the howling winds at high altitude rushed in. Eight figures cloaked in golden capes stood shoulder to shoulder at the door, looking down at the chaotic ice-covered battlefield below.
The Great Xia Night Watchers, Special Team 003, [Phoenix].
“The Shenlong Pass hasn’t fallen yet?” Kong Shang exclaimed, seeing the stronghold fiercely defended, shock evident in his eyes. “This…”
“It’s him!”
Xia Simeng immediately spotted the white-haired figure standing in the void, her eyes gradually lighting up. “He’s back; they… are back.”
“Who?” a member of the [Phoenix] team asked in confusion.
“The first genius of Great Xia in decades, the rumored dual divine agent, Lin Qiye, and his fifth special team.” Xia Simeng pointed at the figure standing in the magic circle. “Don’t you remember? We met him in Cangnan.
Back then, his mental state wasn’t very good.”
Xia Simeng clearly remembered that Lin Qiye had been a weak and pitiful rookie Night Watcher. After the destruction of Cangnan City, his mental state had completely collapsed, and she had personally carried him back to the 136th team’s base.
“Lin Qiye?” The other team members immediately recalled the deranged youth from Cangnan. “He has changed so much.”
“Of course, after all, it has been almost four years since we last saw him.” Xia Simeng sighed. “In four years… has he really grown to this extent?”
“Now is not the time for sentimentality.” Kong Shang spoke calmly. “We are seniors after all; it’s somewhat unreasonable to leave a group of juniors to guard the Shenlong Pass for so long.”
“That’s true.”
Xia Simeng, draped in her golden cape, stepped to the edge of the door, a smile appearing on her lips. “Let’s show the juniors the prowess of our [Phoenix] team!”
As her words fell, the eight golden figures standing at the door leaped down from the high altitude simultaneously!
The fierce wind billowed their golden capes, and a blazing, sacred fire phoenix materialized in the night, emitting a clear phoenix cry. This fire phoenix rapidly descended from the heavens, carrying the eight members of the [Phoenix] team, swirling with golden flames, and roaring towards the Shenlong Pass!
Boom—!!
The fire phoenix crashed down before the Shenlong Pass like a meteor, directly melting and shattering the thick ice on the sea surface. The eight figures burst forth from the flames like golden lightning, forming an inverted V formation, piercing into the forefront of the beast tide like a golden blade, radiating boundless sharpness.
The [Phoenix] team joined the battlefield, directly taking on nearly eighty percent of the beast tide for the Shenlong Pass. The golden flames intertwined around the eight figures, standing like an immovable wall, resolutely facing the beast tide.
“[Phoenix] team has arrived.” Inside the Shenlong Pass, An Qingyu smiled as she saw the eight figures fighting valiantly before the stronghold.
