Chapter 1311: Chapter 1291: Underground Base, Rescuing the Empress!

The beach on Guatana Island had almost turned into a living Hell.

The bloodthirsty howls of the Rakshasas, the crazed screams when they slaughtered the powerhouses under the Di Family and the three Divine Halls, and the endless sounds of combat and dying wails echoed without end across the night sky.

Blood stained the entire beach red!

Corpses missing either an arm or a leg lay motionless on the sand.

Many of the corpses didn’t even have their eyes closed!

They died with their eyes open!

No one noticed that in the midst of the battle, a Divine Guard deliberately put on an act of fleeing, lured an Orange Tier Rakshasa into the woods, then suddenly exploded with power far beyond Divine Guard level, tore off the Rakshasa’s black robe and put it on himself, then blasted the Rakshasa into a cloud of blood with a single move!

In the end, he picked up a bizarre orange, spiral-patterned mask and put it on, pulled out of the battlefield directly, scanned his surroundings warily as he sent out a mysterious text message on his phone, then sprinted toward the Sequence experimental base located at the very center of the island!

The Guatana experimental base was Sequence’s important No. 02 stronghold, located beneath the island.

At the center of the island, there was a passage leading to the underground base.

This place was heavily guarded!

Over a thousand armed mercenaries, together with more than a hundred Green Tier Sequence members, were hidden in the dark, guarding this passage.

"You’re not out there fighting, what are you doing here!" Seeing the black‑clothed man walking this way, the mercenary regiment’s commander clenched a cigar between his teeth, blocked the man in black, and barked.

In extremely fluent royal British English, the black‑clothed man replied coldly, "The Master of Sequence sent me here to transfer the Empress."

At those words, the mercenary commander, Elder, changed expression; the fingers holding his cigar trembled slightly. He swallowed and asked in a low voice, "Bro, did the boss give you a pass? He didn’t give me a heads‑up in advance that he was sending you."

"He’s busy right now! And my word is the pass!" the black‑clothed man roared. "Get out of my way. Ye Huan’s reinforcements will reach Guatana Island any moment now, I need to transfer the Empress to Stronghold No. 01! If you delay and the Empress is taken, I don’t need to spell out what happens to you!"

Elder’s mouth twitched; knowing the urgency of the situation, he hurriedly opened the entrance to the passage.

He no longer questioned the black‑clothed man’s identity.

In the entire No. 02 stronghold, only one person knew that the Empress in fact had not been transported away!

That was Elder himself, because the one responsible for transporting the fake Empress to Tianzong Island was his subordinates!

Within Sequence, there was also only one person who knew this top‑secret intel.

That was—the Master of Sequence!

Now, this Orange Tier Sequence member before him also knew the secret about the Empress; if the Master of Sequence hadn’t told him, who else could have?

The black‑clothed man entered the passage, walked down three hundred steps leading underground, and arrived at the underground laboratory.

At this moment, the place was empty.

It was clear that Sequence had already transferred the researchers and equipment; aside from the Second Sequence, there wasn’t a single figure here, nor any experimental apparatus.

Seeing the black‑clothed man, the Second Sequence’s face suddenly darkened. "What are you doing here?"

Behind the mask, the black‑clothed man’s face showed no expression. He walked straight toward the elevator leading to the lower levels.

The Second Sequence’s eyes turned vicious; he stepped in front of the man in black, grabbed his shoulder with his left hand, and growled darkly, "I’m talking to you. What are you doing here?! Who allowed you to abandon the battle without orders?!"

"The Master of Sequence sent me to transfer the Empress."

In the black‑clothed man’s low voice, there wasn’t the slightest trace of emotion.

Transfer the Empress?

Hearing this, the Second Sequence’s expression shifted slightly. "Wasn’t the Empress already transferred to Tianzong Island?"

The black‑clothed man ignored his words and pressed the elevator button.

When the elevator doors opened, he stepped inside.

Confused and unable to make sense of it, the Second Sequence followed him in.

When the elevator descended to the eighteenth underground floor, it arrived at a place that looked very much like a dungeon.

However, this level was different from the usual dark dungeons.

The lights here were bright, and the walls and floor were covered in marble.

The cells were not separated by simple iron bars, but by copper walls and iron bastions, and steel doors!

Through the glass on the iron doors, one could see the scenes inside the cells.

In every cell, there was a monster with blood‑red eyes, both arms raised in the air, head drooping onto its shoulder, like a living corpse.

At a glance, they were all Rakshasas!

At this, the eyes behind the black‑clothed man’s mask narrowed into slits, releasing a dangerous glint.

But he did not linger here.

This dungeon level was a long corridor, with rows of cells on either side and a passage for walking in the middle.

The black‑clothed man walked toward the depths of the corridor.

At this moment, the Second Sequence seemed to realize something; he suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the black‑clothed man’s shoulder, and his face turned cold. "Kid, what did you just call the Master?"

"He’s your master, not mine."

The black‑clothed man let out a cold, murderous laugh, then snapped his right leg backward, catching the Second Sequence off guard and kicking him back several steps!

His attacks didn’t stop; he stomped the ground with heavy steps, leapt into the air, and his palms kept slapping through the air, bringing with them boundless pressure and shockwaves as they crashed toward the Second Sequence!

The Second Sequence had just regained his balance when the shockwaves slammed into him again, making him spit out a mouthful of blood. Forcing down his injuries, he quickly raised his hands to block the black‑clothed man’s attacking palms, and stared straight at the man in black with eyes full of viciousness. "Kid, you dare impersonate an Orange Tier Sequence and infiltrate my Sequence base—you’re courting death!"

"The one who dies today will definitely be you, not me."

With that cold laugh, the black‑clothed man drove a knee straight up, forcing the Second Sequence’s body to curl like a worm. His right hand, raised like a blade, chopped viciously down onto the Second Sequence’s back!

The Second Sequence immediately entered full combat mode, tanked the hand‑blade strike head‑on, then reached back, wrapped both arms around the black‑clothed man’s right thigh, and yanked hard, trying to slam the man in black to the floor!

The black‑clothed man’s reactions were lightning fast; he planted his forearms on the ground behind him, then kicked upward from below, sending the Second Sequence flying into the ceiling and smashing out a huge human‑shaped dent!

The Second Sequence was completely enraged; with a furious roar, a fierce pressure belonging to a high‑rank Divine King wrapped around his body. Spreading his arms, he dove at the black‑clothed man like a crow flying a plane!

"Clang!"

The black‑clothed man casually grabbed a glass pane from nearby and set it in front of him, letting the Second Sequence punch straight through it. At the same time, he "swish" picked up a shard and slashed it at the Second Sequence’s neck!

"Courting death!" The Second Sequence, having unleashed his full strength, had skin on his neck that turned abnormally tough. The glass stabbed into it and shattered into dust without causing any damage. He countered with a heavy punch that crashed into the black‑clothed man’s body!

The black‑clothed man’s hands flowed through the air like swimming dragons, using softness to overcome hardness, dissolving this attack. Then, right in front of the Second Sequence, he suddenly struck a very strange pose!

The Second Sequence was somewhat at a loss; no matter how he looked, he felt the man in black’s movements were full of openings.

In a fight, posing like that was asking to die, wasn’t it?

Thinking that, the Second Sequence assumed the black‑clothed man had gone stupid!

But very quickly, he realized things were nothing like what he’d imagined!

The black‑clothed man’s stance was indeed full of openings, but this guy also had command of a Huaxia Tai Chi Boxing style that used softness to counter hardness. While holding that stance, he could weave this boxing technique through his movements, dissolving every attack that reached him!

The more the Second Sequence thought about it, the more wrong it felt. Absolutely no one would deliberately assume a stance like that in battle!

Unless that stance was of great use in combat!

Relying on his rich combat experience, the Second Sequence immediately concluded that this was the man in black’s killing move!

He couldn’t wait any longer!

"Hah!" With a backward somersault, the Second Sequence leapt to a spot ten meters away from the black‑clothed man. His hands began slapping rapidly through the air, his hand seals changing at a speed the naked eye couldn’t follow!

Before long, a layer of black mist that looked bizarre to the extreme wound around his hands!

This was the Foshan Annihilation Palm he had created himself after once accidentally obtaining in Huaxia a martial arts manual called "Foshan Shadowless Palm" and studying it in depth!

Once this move was unleashed, his attack speed would be pushed to the extreme!

The annihilative aura that could make heaven and earth tremble would endlessly magnify the damage carried by the palm technique!
