NOVPUBChapter 721 -670 Twist Dough Strips_2
After just 4720 meters, Cameron Brown’s body and Primordial Spirit dissolved into black ash, vanishing completely!
300 kilometers to the south, Lin Rui stood suspended in midair, his hands behind his back, gazing coldly at the battle unfolding in the core of the city.
“Keep an eye on the surroundings. Don’t let these guys escape. Since they refuse to leave the Longevity Association, let them die.”
At this moment, the two East Asia Honorary Members standing behind Xu Mengran winced slightly upon hearing his words.
These were five Honorary Members and seven Quasi-Members!
The total number of individuals in the Earth Federation who had achieved Honorary Member status was barely 120, even with freelancers included. This was far weaker than any single nation on Sky Extreme Star.
Would all of these people meet their end here today?
The two instinctively wanted to voice a protest, but shut their mouths under Xu Mengran’s subtle hint.
This chairman of the Forest Group had a life-or-death feud with the Longevity Association, and the appearance of an additional Honorary Member within the Longevity Association posed a huge threat to Lin Rui and Linghu Mingde. They had no grounds to intervene.
“Boom!”
Lin Xi and Lin Yi followed their elder brother’s orders without hesitation.
In a fraction of a moment, a distant Honorary Member frantically trying to flee had his body grotesquely twisted, exploding into a cloud of black ash.
Everyone present shuddered. That person was likely Igor Bodley, a rising star of the last seventy years.
Though his current influence was limited and he had not yet entered Congress as an Honorary Member, media predictions suggested he had no more than ten years before joining the ranks of true Honorary Members in Congress.
“I surrender! Don’t kill me! I’ll leave the Longevity Association!” On the outskirts of Ninth Base City, a frantic Honorary Member in blue-painted battle armor roared.
He didn’t have time for words, resorting to using Divine Thought to project his intent outward.
“I’ll sign a Divine Contract! Right now! You’re all damn lunatics. Using this level of weaponry inside the base city—!”
But the powers of despair and pain continued to envelop him mercilessly.
The Honorary Member’s pupils narrowed slightly as he kept pleading through Divine Thought: “You can hire me in the future! As many times as you want, just pay me—even if you pay 80%, 75%, 70% of my bakery prices! I, Firepower Mad Bear Balder Martinez, will never say no as long as there’s time!”
The forces of destruction and distortion finally halted.
Balder Martinez opened his face mask, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.
Not daring to delay further, he shouted again: “Duke Houston, Ji Fanjing, old Ji! Do you have a Dragon Skin Paper of Ninth Realm? Lend me one! Count it as me owing you! Hurry up!”
Though the destructive and warped forces had ceased obliterating his physical form, they continued to strain his exoskeleton armor with creaking sounds.
‘Firepower Mad Bear’ Balder Martinez felt a deep pang in his heart; his armor, Emperor Bear Mark IX SSS-grade, cost him a staggering 240 billion federal coins. He then spent an additional 70 billion federal coins to equip it with twelve extremely powerful floating cannons, earning his notorious nickname.
Ji Fanjing and ‘Flame Dragon Sword’ Duke Houston both winced slightly at his words.
They had both been forced to promise their withdrawal from the Longevity Association earlier. Though Duke Houston hadn’t signed a Divine Contract, he was a man of his word.
Thus, when the ‘Financial Emperor’ Yi Duxing had arrived, the two had refrained from further engagement.
And now it appeared to have been a wise decision—otherwise, they might have found themselves in Balder Martinez’s humiliating predicament, yelling for mercy.
Duke Houston didn’t carry any Dragon Skin Paper with him and ignored the request. Ji Fanjing, after brief thought, handed one over. After some hesitation, he also tossed a sheet to Duke Houston.
Duke Houston’s expression shifted between pale and ashen, but he still accepted it. Seeing Linghu Mingde’s gaze locked on him, he knew the Divine Contract was unavoidable; he had to sign it.
In just this short duration, yet another Congressional Honorary Member and two Quasi-Members’ bodies were twisted apart, exploding under the powers of Despair Heavenly Maiden and Pain Heavenly Maiden.
The remaining individuals, including ‘Phoenix’ Karina Frey, imitated Balder Martinez’s actions. Each took out their Ninth Realm Dragon Skin Paper and signed their respective Divine Contracts.
Around half of them were merely mercenaries hired by the Longevity Association, not core members, and their surrender came swiftly.
Atop the Sky Blue Group building, Fang Kongfang swallowed hard, thinking to himself: What would my elder brother think about this situation?
Ranran’s boyfriend is no ordinary man. Though his cultivation level was merely at the Sixth Realm, his talent was unprecedented in the Federation’s last 800 years. Moreover, the power he wielded was formidable—three and a half Quasi-Members, seven Super Emperor Eight Realms combatants, and even wielding two Abyss Weapons…
The battle for control over Sky Blue Group seemed settled; it was destined to become Lin Rui and Fang Ranran’s empire.
No matter how much his nephew was favored by their elder brother, he would only have the fate of a rich idler or end up working for his sister, just like Fang Kongfang himself did within the group.
Turning, Fang Kongfang issued orders: “Spread the word. Fully cooperate with the Forest Group to blockade the Star Port. Warn all corporations and families in Ninth Base City: From now on, they must seriously reconsider working with the Longevity Association. Those who already have dealings with them should terminate them as soon as possible! Otherwise, they’ll not only be opposing ‘Forest Rui Fang’, but the Sky Blue Group as well.”
After today, his niece’s husband would stand as the undisputed ruler of Ninth Base City.
Fang Kongfang didn’t want their family’s friends to act rashly and end up caught in Lin Rui’s crosshairs.
Just then, Fang Kongfang exclaimed in surprise as a deafening explosion resounded across the sky.
He focused his gaze upwards, spotting the colossal ‘Dead-Eye Demon.’ Its bloodline power reaching the Ninth SSS Realm, its Primordial Spirit had already been largely eradicated by Despair Heavenly Maiden, with the remaining fragments grotesquely twisted. Unable to endure any longer, its body exploded under the forces of Pain Heavenly Maiden, scattering blood across the skies in a grim spectacle.
‘Financial Emperor’ Yi Duxing realized that the life expectancy of his own physical form was now pitifully short.
With the Dead-Eye Demon’s demise, he could no longer sustain himself.
In an instant, Yi Duxing’s physical form was forcibly twisted a dozen times, resembling a mangled rope.
Yet he remained stoic, glaring coldly at Lin Rui: “Interesting. I didn’t expect you’d make those two Abyss Weapons operational. I don’t know how you achieved this, but we’ll return. We’ll find the truth! I, Yi Duxing, will make you regret today—”
Before Yi Duxing could finish, his body exploded into a cloud of blood, scattering into the sky.
Lin Xi coldly surveyed the scene below, obliterating Yi Duxing’s remains completely with her destructive Divine Power.
She knew Yi Duxing hadn’t truly perished. A Senior Divine Envoy from Sky Extreme Star was almost impossible to kill. Coupled with the Earth Federation’s advanced technologies, their life force became exceedingly resilient.
Yi Duxing, nearly a Super Divine Envoy, was exceptionally hard to eliminate.
Lin Xi thought to herself, “You won’t get the chance. I’ll never allow you to avenge your grudge against my brother and us.”
She then summoned her will, causing the fingertips of the ‘Despair Heavenly Dragon’ to seep blood.
Flying toward Lin Xi, the blood wrapped around her body, seeping through her skin’s pores into her system.
This would infuse Lin Xi with vast quantities of Abyss Source Material from Despair Venerate. Though it brought heavy pollution, it would also rapidly enhance her physical capabilities to their limit, simultaneously strengthening her Divine Soul.
Just like Shi Yan experienced rapid advancement to the Seventh Realm under Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable’s guidance.
From afar, Lin Rui watched, his face darkening. He immediately messaged his sister.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): “Xiao Xi, what are you doing? Are you trying to die? You’re absorbing such heavily polluted blood from the Despair Heavenly Dragon!”
Summer Breeze Whispers (Lin Xi): “My cultivation is still too slow. I know you can purify it, brother, so please let me indulge myself just this once.”
Lin Rui laughed bitterly. Purification was energy-intensive, and Lin Xi’s shortcuts might carry unforeseen risks.
He shook his head, replying: “Never again! I mean it.”
Having already acted before consulting him, Lin Rui could only agree. Could he stand by and let his little sister die?
Lin Rui, in truth, wished for Lin Xi to reach the Seventh Realm as soon as possible.
