A Night of Desperation-Chapter 588: Ready 2

Yan Wei’s heart quickly sank.

The next second, a sharp pain pierced her back, as if something sharp was speeding towards her at an incredible velocity.

In a panic, Yan Wei hurriedly rolled to the side, dodging the attack from behind.

Boom!!

The wall behind her was directly shattered.

A black-armored figure, holding a black electric spear, ferociously stabbed towards her.

"!!!" Yan Wei’s mind went blank. The opponent was equipped, but she was not. Without the tenfold increase in strength provided by armor, the only thing she could rely on was her mutated right eye!

But...

Ah!!

With two screams, two other sub-base leaders, who were not equipped, had their heads blown off in front of the more than tenfold strengthened Yinluo soldiers.

They were also experienced armored fighters, but without their armor, they were like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, completely defenseless.

This was the difference between being equipped and not being equipped. With the armor on, the more than tenfold increase in physical strength was enough to make anyone capable of instantly killing a battle-hardened veteran.

This was the gap.

Yan Wei’s right eye suddenly lit up with purple light. In the next instant, she disappeared from her original spot and appeared directly in the hallway outside the meeting room.

This was the instantaneous movement ability belonging to the Immortal General.

She had managed to develop this ability after much effort, using it to turn the tide of battle multiple times and seize the life armor worn by the enemy.

But this time, it seemed...

Boom!

Another two loud bangs came from behind, the walls were once again shattered, and two more armored figures dashed in, not stopping but heading straight for Yan Wei’s position.

Yan Wei instantaneously moved away again, pressing the armor component in her pocket, but it was no use. Her heart was heavy, and in the next second, she continued to use instantaneous movement.

But this time, as soon as she reappeared, a giant black electric spear was already rushing towards her from the front.

"Such a conspicuous space teleportation fluctuation, Yan Wei, are you mocking this hall?" The captain’s icy voice suddenly sounded from beneath his helmet.

"Your Highness?!" Yan Wei’s face changed dramatically, but it was too late for her to use instantaneous movement again.

In desperation, her right eye shone brightly with a purple light, shooting out a purple beam, directly hitting the spear.

Boom!

The purple electric spear exploded at once.

Without protection, Yan Wei was blown away on the spot, hitting the wall hard and creating a big dent before rolling down.

Without armor, she couldn’t even beat an ordinary Yinluo soldier, let alone such a top expert.

Poof.

Yan Wei spat out a mouthful of blood, struggling to get up.

But.

Swoosh, a black electric spear was suspended by her neck.

"Yan Wei, you betrayed my trust..." The Yinluo captain’s voice was low as he walked closer, staring at her.

"What trust? Your Highness, you never trusted me, how could I betray it?" Yan Wei’s face was calm as she slowly got up from the ground.

"The victor becomes king and the loser is vilified. You won, kill me."

"I want to know why you betrayed me in the first place?" The captain asked calmly. "Because of you, my policy planning for Flame Star had errors, causing me a huge disadvantage in the political arena."

"Since the moment my parents died because of your people, there has been no such thing as betrayal...." Yan Wei’s face was expressionless as she suddenly grabbed the spear, squeezing toward the tip with her palm.

In the critical moment, the captain saw in her palm, what was surprisingly a high-level armor component she was assigned before.

At this distance, once the component was pierced and damaged, it would cause a huge explosion immediately.

Considering the enclosed space of the underground base corridor, even with his armor, he would be severely injured!

"You!" The captain hurriedly withdrew the spear and retreated.

But the next moment, he knew he had been tricked, as Yan Wei disappeared once again before his eyes.

"Courting death!" He followed, activating the armor’s instantaneous movement ability to track the space fluctuation.

Just as he appeared.

Beep...

A sharp siren sounded around.

Boom!!

Before he could see his surroundings clearly, a massive explosion swept him away, engulfing everything.

Outside the base, on the surface.

Yan Wei stood quietly on the grass, watching the huge hole blown open in the underground base area not far away.

"The timing was just right, and I didn’t misjudge His Highness’s personality. This explosion should damage his armor’s instantaneous movement ability. Unfortunately, this base is finished;it’s time to retreat."

The others in the base had no chance of being rescued, but Yan Wei never intended to save them. To have a prince of the Yinluo people buried with them was not a loss by any means.

Swoosh.

The next second, she disappeared on the spot.

Without armor, she couldn’t confront them head-on. She must find out why the armor couldn’t activate.

But for now, it didn’t matter, she still had backup armor!

A few hundred meters away from the sub-base, inside an abandoned factory.

Yan Wei appeared instantly in a corner of the factory, squatting down and lifting a cover from the ground.

Below, in the dark compartment, lay her backup armor set.

It was also a high-level armor set.

Reaching out to touch the armor, she was about to equip it.

Suddenly, a sharp pain spread from the back of her head again.

Yan Wei made a decisive move, leaving the armor and rolling aside.

Sizzle!!

A black light shot through her previous position, piercing the wall and leaving a charred hole.

Yan Wei’s expression changed slightly as she once again instantly appeared next to the armor, reaching out to grab it.

But in the next moment, a black spear appeared out of thin air between her and the armor.

Thud.

Hiss. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

The flesh of her palm instantly charred upon contact, but Yan Wei’s face remained unchanged as she flipped away from the second black spear crashing down from behind her.

Boom!

With a deafening crash, the black spear created a large pit in the ground.

She was also thrown high into the air, disappearing once more in an instant teleportation.

"Chase!" The two special forces of Yinluo simultaneously began to teleport after her.

The factory returned to an empty and silent state.

Plop, plop.

A tall, strong humanoid figure slowly walked in, approaching the hidden compartment, and looked down at the life armor placed inside.

The figure was tall, dressed simply in a black shirt and trousers. For reasons unknown, perhaps the lighting or something else, his face was always shrouded in a layer of dim light, the contours unclear.

At this moment, outside the factory, Yan Wei rushed in quickly. Her face pale, she coughed into her chest, spitting out a bit of blood, and hurried towards the hidden compartment.

But just as she stepped through the door, she saw the tall figure standing there, and her steps involuntarily slowed down.

"Who are you!? Please step aside, I need to get something." Yan Wei steadied her emotions as she walked towards the figure.

"Step aside for what?" The figure turned back to look at her.

Yan Wei’s vision was starting to blur slightly from having teleported too many times and from bodily strain.

She couldn’t teleport anymore;otherwise, she would collapse before she got the armor.

"Where you’re standing, can you please move?" Worried about the Yinluo special forces possibly catching up, she couldn’t help but quicken her pace.

"You look injured, need help calling the police?" The man didn’t answer, instead asking with concern.

"No need, why are you alone here anyway? It’s very dangerous;you should leave immediately and find a place to hide. Didn’t you hear the explosions just now?" Yan Wei quickly said.

"I’m a Taoist Cultivator," the man replied earnestly. "I came here because I heard the explosions. So, do you need help?"

"Thanks for your kindness, just step aside, that’s all I need. You should leave right away," Yan Wei advised kindly.

"Don’t worry, though my time in cultivation is short, I can still protect myself a little..." the man smiled brightly, stepping aside.

Yan Wei had already moved to the side of the hidden compartment, her hand pressing on the armor, but to her dismay, it didn’t start.

She looked up at the man, triggered by his earlier kind words.

"You..."

As soon as she spoke, she noticed the space behind the man warp with instant teleportation distortions.

A tall, burly black armor appeared instantly, and a spear crashed silently towards the man’s head.

Screech!

In the next moment, purple light shot from Yan Wei’s eyes, deflecting the black spear.

"Run!" she yelled sharply.

But it was too late.

The black spear corrected itself and struck like lightning towards the man’s back.

Bang!!

A loud explosion.

The black spear struck the man’s back heavily, creating a circle of white ash ripples.

But... it was completely different from what she expected.

The man remained standing, his back facing the black spear.

Only his face, looking towards Yan Wei, began to twist violently.

The vague face twisted and squirmed rapidly, like clay.

Hiss.

It was as if an invisible thin membrane on the man’s body was torn and stretched.

His body rapidly expanded, growing taller, wider, and larger!

Two meters.

Three meters.

Four meters!

Six meters!!

The man’s body inflated like a balloon, reaching over six meters tall in the blink of an eye, standing like a small mountain.

Colorful glowing lines radiated from his body, illuminating the surroundings.

Those lines wriggled along the ground and walls like worms.

Yan Wei looked up to see the man’s eyes covered with black cloth, yet couldn’t hide the piercing light beneath.

"What the hell...!!!" The Yinluo special forces soldier holding the black spear, who witnessed the transformation from start to finish, was stunned.

From widening his eyes to gaping his mouth, he was forced to retreat bit by bit.

For a moment, he doubted if he was dreaming.

Boom!!

In the next instant, a giant hand pressed him from above into the ground.

As the hand lifted, only a mix of fragmented armor and flesh remained in the deep pit.

Witnessing this, Yan Wei’s mind went blank, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

Yu Hong looked at her dumbfounded face and smiled gently.

"Young one, there’s little time. Go do whatever you desire..."

The Great Annihilation is imminent. The Floating City is very close, so it’s not far from here either.

Yu Hong knew their time here was limited.

Thus, after gaining the Ancient God Body and his strength surging again, he decided it’s time to gather this place’s vitality...
