Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

The round magical equipment emitted squeaky noises and connected to each other with four red mystic rays of light. Then, two crossed rays shot out on the diagonals, and the six rays of light corroded the gate together. In less than ten seconds, a square hole was left on the gate, and the plate half a meter thick crashed to the ground.

The other assassins of the Covenant Alliance all fell on one of their knees and guarded the main entrances and exits nearby, preparing to die with the guards of the Godly Might Prison at any moment to buy their companions more time.

The two strongest assassins lowered their heads and were about to enter the hole when a black shadow dashed out of the secret room in advance!

The black shadow was wearing Lei Chenghu’s well-ironed uniform, and his movement was quite similar to Lei Chenghu’s as he leaped forward, except that the look on his face was rather creepy, mixed with shock and confusion. His action was slightly rigid too, as if he were under somebody’s control.

In the middle of the emergency, the two assassins of the Covenant Alliance naturally had no time to think. Including “Fishbone” Hong Jiping with his transparent sharp blade, everybody attacked the critical parts of “Lei Chenghu” with their ultimate skills!

But out of their expectation, right when they had carried out their moves to the maximum aggressively, a second black shadow dashed out of the secret room and lurked below the first shadow. He was older but even more agile, like a ferocious tiger that had gone off the mountain!

When he dashed out of the secret room, he seemed to be naked or only wearing the underwear, but in 0.1 seconds, he had put on a daunting crystal suit, and the power claw made of five talons that were vibrating at a high frequency slashed at “Fishbone” Hong Jiping’s abdomen brutally.

It seemed that if “Fishbone” Hong Jiping were to send his sword into the heart of the first guy that jumped out, his own abdomen would certainly be dug out by the second guy!

“That is not Lei Chenghu!”

“This one here is Lei Chenghu!”

Even the cold and ruthless assassins of the Covenant Alliance did not know that Lei Chenghu was not alone in the chamber but accompanied by someone so similar to himself.

Also, little could they have imagined that Lei Chenghu would be so brutal as to figure out the situation the moment he heard the fighting noises outside, lock the joints and acupoints of the other person, put the guy in his own uniform, and throw him out as a “sandbag” and a “decoy”!

Lei Chenghu’s sudden counterattack caught the assassins of the Covenant Alliance unprepared. The assassins, including “Fishbone” Hong Jiping, had no choice but to abandon the “decoy” and turn to the real Lei Chenghu.

Swoosh!

“Fishbone” Hong Jiping’s transparent blade pierced into Lei Chenghu’s left hand brutally.

Or rather, Lei Chenghu acted on his own to grab Hong Jiping’s sword with his left hand, making the sword that had been passed on for a thousand years unable to move at all.

His right arm, on the other hand, stabbed the power claw into Hong Jiping’s abdomen exactly according to the posture just now.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!

The secret sword unleashed thousands of spiritual waves that felt like needles as thin as hair, trying to crawl along the arm all the way to Lei Chenghu’s internal organs and limbs.

Lei Chenghu’s power claw vibrated violently too. The flames of spiritual energy that had been suppressed for more than half a month erupted like a volcano, ripping, shattering, and burning Hong Jiping’s internal organs into ashes!

The weird damage of the sword only ascended to Lei Chenghu’s left shoulder blade and could not move forward anymore.

That was because Lei Chenghu had twisted and ripped off his own left arm by force on his own, preventing the attack of the sword from furthering.

His powerful knuckle, on the other hand, moved forward in a slant and grabbed Hong Jiping’s heart tightly, burning it into ashes!

“Fishbone” Hong Jiping’s eyes were wide open. He found it hard to believe that Lei Chenghu could be so ruthless even when flames of spiritual energy were popping up from his throat.

In terms of combat ability, “Fishbone” Hong Jiping, who was known as one of the four best experts of the Godly Might Prison and enhanced by many secret techniques of the Covenant Alliance, was perhaps stronger than “God of War” Lei Chenghu who specialized in the arts of commanding.

Lei Chenghu, however, told all the opponents with the toughest and coldest performances that “God of War” definitely deserved his name!

In one attack, at the price of a left arm, he laid waste to the best expert of the assassins from the Covenant Alliance and earned the five seconds that were of paramount importance for him!

The bleeding wound on his left shoulder blade was soon covered by the gel-like medicines. Lei Chenghu retreated the bloodstained power claws from the body of “Fishbone” Hong Jiping and waved it hard, throwing away blood and suspicious broken meat. He roared in excitement and stared at the remaining opponents, not bothering to look at his broken limb and his eldest son who had passed out on the ground at all.

His back hunched, Lei Chenghu breathed heavily, opening and closing his power claws. Infinite bloodiness spread out of his body. He was exactly like a caged beast fighting in a desperate fight in a pit!

At this moment, because nobody foresaw that “Fishbone” Hong Jiping would be heavily wounded, the siege of the assassins had a fatal gap.

All the assassins focused their attention on the gap caused by the collapse of “Fishbone” Hong Jiping. Quite a few assassins were ready to fill in the vacancy. Some of them even thought that Lei Chenghu would break out of the siege from there and locked onto the route of Lei Chenghu’s escape with their remote magical equipment in advance.

However, instead of running, Lei Chenghu lunged at where the assassins of the Covenant Alliance were densest. The power claws named “Tiger’s Soul”, which was made of the essence of five chainswords and vibration sabers collected from the battlefield and crafted carefully by the experts of refining in the Imperium after three years, truly looked as if the souls of five tigers had possessed it. It attacked five assassins at the same time!

Judging from the thunderous, unstoppable attack, it seemed that “run away” was not even an option in Lei Chenghu’s head.

He would either kill all the assassins or be killed by the assassins, standing.

There was no third option!

Chi!

The power claws pierced into the chest of one assassin and began to revolve rapidly.

The longsword of the second assassin, in the meantime, pierced into Lei Chenghu’s shoulder, only to be pinched by his muscles and bones and could not move forward at all.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The honeycomb-type magazines on Lei Chenghu’s shoulder were opened at the same time. Dazzling mini balls of light exploded between him and the assassins, blowing the crystal suits of the assassin into pieces of garbage.

His own crystal suit, on the other hand, was also barraged by the rest of the assassin. The spiritual shield soon turned dark red and completely collapsed, and the crystal suit was torn apart inch by inch, revealing the bleeding old body down below.

Lei Chenghu sensed none of it, as if his nerves of pain had been completely sealed in the hundred years of fierce battles. It was not until he executed three assassins in a row and the blood of his enemy’s and his own drowned the floor that he finally slipped and fell on one of his knees, pressing the claws deeply into the ground.

The crazy tiger had finally run out of all his ammunition, fuel, spiritual energy, and physical strength and had to come to a stop.

Even the assassins of the Covenant Alliance whose feelings had been sealed and who knew nothing other than carrying out commands dutifully were greatly shocked by Lei Chenghu’s toughness and craziness. It was not until half a second’s daze later that they all raised their chainswords, vibration sabers, storm bolters, and crystal cannons.

Lei Chenghu let out blurred chuckles from the broken facial cover of his crystal suit. There was no telling whether he was laughing at himself for his futile attack or the Council of Elders for their idiocy. He struggled to his feet and held his head high at the blades and firearms of the Covenant Alliance.

Right then—

When the storm bolters and crystal cannons of the assassins just shot out lethal flames of light, and the scorching bullets were flying at Lei Chenghu’s chest and head, four streaks of blackness stopped between the two parties at the perfect moment and stretched out to four black shields instantly, helping Lei Chenghu absorb all the attacks in clinking noises!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

It felt that an entire ocean was running at them in deafening noises!

The assassins of the Covenant Alliance immediately bulged their eyes, unable to believe what they saw with the crystal cameras on their helmets. When they looked back, they discovered that their crystal cameras were not wrong at all, and it was true that a dark gold cube in mosaics was rushing close!

BAM!

An assassin wearing a heavy crystal suit more than 3.5 meters tall crashed the dark gold cube heavily while waving a power knuckle that was thicker than the thigh, but the crystal suit was immediately blown into pieces. Even his bones were all broken and extended out of his flesh; he couldn’t have looked more miserable!

BAM! BAM!

Another two assassins of the Covenant Alliance lunged at the dark gold cube from two sides in weird positions, only to be blown back by appallingly huge forces into the wall. Their crystal suits were pressed until they became as thin as paper too!

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

Before the remaining assassins realized what was going on, the chainswords, vibration sabers, storm bolters, and crystal cannons in their hands all exploded, and they were swallowed by the uncanny forces each higher than the last, unable to control themselves at all like canoes in a tsunami!

By the time the four black shields turned into four black crystals again and slowly hovered around Li Yao, not a single assassin from the Covenant Alliance was still standing.

Huchi! Huchi! Huchi! Huchi!

Li Yao breathed heavily and swallowed abundant nutrition drugs and medicines into his stomach through the automatic energy refilling system on his crystal suit, draining all the supplies inside a Cosmos Ring in only three seconds.

It couldn’t be helped. The higher one’s level was, the greater energy they would consume when they were attacking with all their strength. The preparation time before the attack and the cooldown after it would be longer too. The crazy performance in the one minute just now was even more exhausting than training at high intensity for three days and three nights. Even a whole Cosmos Ring of high-energy nutrition drugs was not enough to refill one-third of what he had used up.

He would not be able to perform a similar crazy attack anytime soon.

But thankfully, he made it in time!

“General Lei, Marquis Liaohai?”

Li Yao stared at the middle-aged man before him who was short and slim, but who was fearsome and intimidating despite the loss of his left arm.

The gazes of “Vulture” and “God of War” collided heavily!
