Chapter 338: Rescue
The Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Gate himself possesses Inner Strength that has reached the Amaterasu level. He claims the Celestial Eagle is a step away from Peak of Perfection, and everyone naturally believes him. Especially after a single clash, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Gate is severely wounded. What does this imply? Everyone must be very clear about it.
How could the Twelve Eagles of the Twelve Flying Peng Castles be ordinary?
Rumor has it that when the twelve join forces, they can destroy a top-tier power. Moreover, what happened three years ago in the Martial Combat Realm stirred up a colossal wave; how could anyone forget?
As for after the Celestial Eagle severely wounded the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Gate, he didn't even glance at him again. This was disdain, unwillingness to bother. Anyway, those from the Profound Heaven Gate who offended Shangguan Biyue all received the punishment they deserved.
Afterward, only the Celestial Eagle was seen ascending the steps alone. Wherever his solitary figure passed, everyone withdrew in dread, not even daring to directly meet Celestial Eagle's sharp eyes.
"Anyone else wishing to destroy my Twelve Flying Peng Castles, come forward!" The Celestial Eagle's voice thundered, making those people look grim. Just one Celestial Eagle left them at a loss, and yet they dared to think about destroying the Twelve Flying Peng Castles.
"Celestial Eagle, since you call my Seven-Star Tower traitor the Lady of the Castle, your Fortress Master must care greatly about this Seven-Star Tower traitor, right?" Just then, Duan Xingnan, standing above the Seven-Star Hall, spoke coldly: "Go capture the Seven-Star Tower traitor Shangguan Biyue for me!"
At this moment, Duan Xingnan vaguely felt that capturing Shangguan Biyue would serve as a better leverage against Xiao Tianyu, even more useful than Ye Qingcheng.
"The Seven-Star Tower, one of the three major powers in the Martial Combat Realm, employs such despicable means. Unable to deal with my Twelve Flying Peng Castles, and intending to capture our Lady of the Castle to blackmail our Fortress Master, how pitiful!" The Celestial Eagle's voice thundered.
These words made Duan Xingnan's face look somewhat unpleasant, but for his ambition, any despicable matter is trivial to him.
At the moment, the top ten fierce stars of the Seven-Star Tower leisurely began descending the stairs, their presence permeating, eyes sharp, ten of them emerging together, strong enough to be formidable, and the Celestial Eagle naturally dared not underestimate them, for the top ten fierce stars are elite warriors of the Seven-Star Tower.
Whoosh~
In an instant, two beams of cold light flashed, followed by two short blades in the hands of the Celestial Eagle, emitting chilly light in the night, extremely sharp.
Moreover, a terrifying aura surrounded the Celestial Eagle.
"Big brother, I'll assist you!" Yun Ying stepped forward.
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Eagle waved his hand: "Your responsibility is to protect the Lady!"
In Tianyu's eyes, Shangguan Biyue's life is more important than his own, so how could he let Yun Ying join the battle? Doing so would inevitably give someone the opportunity to hold the Fortress Master hostage.
On the other side.
Just as everyone's gaze was fixed on the Celestial Eagle, a masked figure in black silently floated into the Seven-Star Tower hall, unnoticed even by the perceptive Duan Xingnan and Zhan Wushuang.
"Who are you!" A pair of guards in the Seven-Star Tower hall's passageway stared at the masked youth and spoke.
The next second: "Puff puff~"
Two shimmering coins pierced through their necks. The two didn't even fall before a shadow swiftly passed them, fast like lightning.
When the masked figure in black landed, he was already inside the passageway, floating along it quickly, leaving traces of afterimages, crossing the corridor with ease, reaching a stone door, weighing ten thousand pounds, controlled by high-tech electronic locks, inaccessible to ordinary people, nearly as difficult as reaching the heavens.
The masked figure in black spread his senses, penetrating the ten-thousand-pound stone door, invading the secret chamber within. He soon sensed several figures inside the chamber, even among them, leading figures were Mixed Element Realm powerhouses. Behind them, a female figure was chained to a stone pillar.
Then the masked youth pulled out a piece of transparent nano-glass from his pocket, and with a touch of his finger on the glass, a light screen appeared, revealing a virtual transparent image, the image of a little girl with a ponytail, gazing innocently with her pure eyes at the person in front, quite adorable.
The little girl spoke, "Master, what are your instructions?"
"Xiao Li, can you unlock this?" The masked youth asked calmly.
"Give me a minute!" Xiao Li blinked her innocent eyes.
"Alright!" The masked figure in black nodded.
Xiao Li soon touched her right hand, inputting a program, and suddenly on the transparent nano-glass, endless codes flashed, while simultaneously a countdown began.
"Fifty-nine seconds to program unlock!"
"Alright, fifty-eight seconds!"
"Fifty-seven seconds!"
"..."
"Thirty seconds!"
"..."
"One second left!"
"Program unlock complete!"
As the sound dropped, a snap sound began, all the passwords on the stone door unlocked, insulated rods retracted, and the ten-thousand-pound stone door roared as it began to move.
This scene caused the people in the secret chamber to reveal a hint of doubt, wondering if the Tower Leader had arrived.
But it was no surprise, for this door in the Seven-Star Tower, aside from Duan Xingnan, no one could open it, no matter how strong their power was. Without a password key, Duan Xingnan himself would still be unable to enter.
Therefore, the people in the chamber assumed it was the Tower Leader, reasonable under the circumstances, since they believed that under heaven, aside from the Tower Leader, no one could open it.
However, in the next second, their expressions turned to terror as they saw a figure as if a ghost float into the chamber, not the Tower Leader.
"Who are you daring to intrude..."
Whoosh~
Before the person could finish speaking, a cold light pierced through his brow, instantly spilling scarlet blood on the ground, shocking everyone, even Ye Qingcheng chained to the pillar felt perplexed. Could this mysterious figure be here to rescue me?
The masked figure in black remained silent, but his deep eyes, like an abyss, seemed to freeze everything, giving them a sense of chill, intuitively making them aware that this mysterious person was very powerful.
Then, the leading black-clad figure spoke: "Who exactly are you, how can you open this door, do you know what place this is!"
Buzz~
As soon as he finished speaking, a raging wind arose, and the masked figure in black suddenly reached out a large hand to grab at him, causing the man's heart to tremble in panic, just about to fight back, he was restrained by a force, his body lifted by the large hand, struggling desperately.
Bang~
A crisp sound, the man's neck was twisted off, blood spewing from his mouth, and then the large hand released, allowing the corpse to fall heavily to the ground.
"Kill!" The surrounding dozens saw the leader die instantly and all drew waist blades, glinting coldly, lunging at the mysterious figure in black, suddenly filling the whole chamber with flashes of blade and sword.
