Chapter 976: Rain Level! (2/2, Requesting Monthly Votes)

Captain Wu and Ming were both startled by this sudden appearance of the strange, and upon closer look, they immediately sensed this creature was no ordinary one.

Unlike those insect-shaped stranges, this one took human form, its entire body encased in black-bone armor, and merely standing there exuded a suffocating pressure.

"O-one instant…?"

Kuang Tower Master widened his eyes, terrified, and collapsed onto the ground.

He didn't even understand where these monsters had come from.

The one who had slashed An Tower Master with a single sword—that was forgivable, at least he was from Prince Seven's side.

But what is this strange before us? It also killed Lei Tower Master, a Yun-level expert, in a single instant!

This utterly hopeless gap in absolute power—this was not an enemy he could possibly face!

Even Niu Zuo, normally the most composed among them, now had his muscles taut, cold sweat dripping from his forehead and mixing with Night Rain.

The rooftop of Juan Niao Lou, once Jingcheng's premier open-air VIP seat, had now become a deadly battlefield—any misstep could mean instant death!

Fang Yue stared fixedly at the black-bone armor strange, slowly gripping Tianjian.

Zzzzzz!!

Unexpectedly, Tianjian trembled, as if terrified of the being before it!

【!!!】

【Wait! Fang Yue, don't attack! That's… a Yu-level strange! And even among Yu-level stranges, it's definitely not a mild one!】

Yu-level strange?!

Fang Yue's expression darkened—he knew it was true.

From the Aura alone, Fang Yue had already sensed this strange was no ordinary one.

"Sheepskin, prepare to lend me power…"

Fang Yue had just silently communicated with the Sheepskin when suddenly a hand gripped his wrist.

"Prepare to retreat!"

He turned to see the voice belonged to Niu Zuo.

"Have Juan Niao Lou's people hold it off—we have no time to waste on stranges. Next, we must absorb Hong Bu and Lan Shan's forces, gather more power, then strike at the Phoenix Organization!"

Hearing this, Fang Yue's face showed hesitation.

Boom!!

At that moment, thunder roared again.

Night Rain intensified amid the thunder, and alongside it appeared… that sky-piercing spirit tree!

An Dong'er… You Sisi…

Fang Yue gritted his teeth, about to shout for Captain Wu to retreat, when he saw something hurtling toward them from afar.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!!

The ground shook over a dozen times as dozens of black-worm stranges landed on Juan Niao Lou's rooftop.

Seeing these towering insect-shaped stranges, most present turned pale with fear.

Because they knew exactly what these black-worm stranges were capable of!

Li-level!

Equivalent to human Yun-level cultivators—even far surpassing ordinary Yun-level warriors!

"Run, run! Everyone, flee! Those are Li-level black-worm stranges from the Wu Yu tribe! Li-level stranges!"

"Li-level stranges—only if all four Tower Masters attack together can they barely handle one! Now there are so many—we're no match!"

The Juan Niao Lou crowd turned pale and scrambled to flee.

Yet the landed black-worm stranges remained motionless, kneeling before the black-bone armor strange as if awaiting orders.

"Prince Five, please do not leave our protection…"

One particularly large black-worm strange rumbled a voice from its throat.

The strange wrapped in black-bone armor slowly opened its eyes, its pupils emitting faint black light as it gazed calmly at the black-worm strange.

The black-worm strange instantly shuddered, lowering its head in panic—but it was already too late.

At the very instant their gazes met…

Boom!!

Prince Five had already appeared before it as if teleported, and with a burst, the black-worm strange's insect body exploded without warning, spraying insect fluid and reducing itself to a pile of bloody chunks.

In one instant… he obliterated a Li-level strange!

Everyone's faces twisted in terror.

Fang Yue and the others sank inwardly.

At that moment, Prince Five retracted the black light from his eyes and extended his right hand, pointing at Fang Yue.

"Leave him alive. Kill everyone else."

"Yes!!"

The other black-worm stranges shouted in unison.

The next instant, all black-worm stranges charged into the crowd like a hurricane—within a breath, Juan Niao Lou's people were thrown into chaos, bodies flying everywhere.

"Retreat!!"

Niu Zuo roared, already retreating into Juan Niao Lou.

Captain Wu's eyes glowed gold as he prepared to fight to the death—Fang Yue seized his hand and dragged him off the rooftop.

Meanwhile, Ming on the Five Emperor Strange had it grip the wall with all eight limbs, swiftly climbing down the side of the building. At the same time, a figure from the adjacent tall building leapt swiftly toward her—clearly Nian Tianjiao, her ever-present shadow.

In an instant, the crowd scattered in all directions, each relying on their own abilities.

Still midair, Fang Yue couldn't help but look back, and immediately saw the Fifth Prince, who had at some unknown point arrived at the edge of the rooftop, just lowering his head to meet his gaze.

Watching the black light slowly kindle in the other's eyes, Fang Yue's heart gave a sudden lurch.

The next instant.

The Fifth Prince's figure, as if teleporting, abruptly appeared directly before him.

Before he could react, the Fifth Prince's fist—fast to the extreme—had already smashed into his chest!

A sharp pain shot through his chest; instinctively loosening his grip, the scenery around him blurred at high speed, and Fang Yue's entire body plummeted downward!

Boom!!

Accompanied by a tremendous crash on the ground, a massive crater appeared centered on where Fang Yue had landed, dust and smoke billowing everywhere.

"So it was a fist…"

Unlike the previous two strikes, where no one could even see through the Fifth Prince's method of attack.

This time, Fang Yue had genuinely touched the edge of the Fifth Prince's ability.

"And that black light in his eyes, that teleportation-like movement…"

Fang Yue took a pill while quickly getting to his feet.

He looked up…

"The Wu Yu Clan!!!"

Captain Wu's earth-shaking roar rang out at that very moment.

Mixed within that roar was the Phoenix Cry!

One could faintly see a Golden Phoenix phantom manifest in midair, along with a black shadow plummeting rapidly.

Boom!!

The already enormous crater sank down another large chunk.

And what had landed in the crater was none other than… Captain Wu!

Captain Wu's chest was seen caved in, revealing the fractured golden bone within!

That's right—Captain Wu's bones were actually golden!

Fang Yue was stunned for a moment, then saw Captain Wu groan twice in pain, crawl up from the ground; the golden bone in his chest quickly retracted back into his ribcage, and as the broken bone reconnected, the caved-in chest puffed back out as well.

Rubbing his chest, Captain Wu turned his head and saw Fang Yue beside him.

For a moment, Captain Wu felt a bit awkward.

Because the one who had just shouted the loudest was him, yet the result was that he was the one smashed down.

"Where's that guy?" Fang Yue asked.

Captain Wu pointed toward Juan Niao Lou.

At the waist of Juan Niao Lou, more than half had been shattered by something, exposing the internal structure; amid the swirling dust, a human figure was walking out from there, feet treading on empty air, standing in midair, walking toward the two of them.

It was none other than… the Wu Yu Clan's royalty, the Fifth Prince!
