Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Thunder Metal Storm
"They’re not coming back," Yang Qi said indifferently.
"Not coming back? What do you mean!" Gu Zhiyuan roared.
"Exactly what you think it means. They are staying in Thunder City forever. But don’t worry, you’ll be joining them soon enough," Yang Qi said coldly.
"Hmph, you’ve got a big mouth! In any case, I was just looking for you, and you came knocking on my door yourself. Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving!" Gu Zhiyuan snorted coldly, his face livid.
He had originally sent Zhou Ran and the two others to capture hostages as bait to draw out the owner of the Star Shining Society. He didn’t know what had happened on Zhou Ran’s end, but the owner had arrived regardless. Since he’s here, I’ll just kill him!
"Kid, you’re bold, I’ll give you that. Daring to storm the Tianhai Association headquarters... Do you really think we’re such easy prey?"
Behind Gu Zhiyuan, sixteen people stepped forward, each wearing a mask and exuding a powerful aura.
One of them sneered, "To reach the Second Rank Overlord realm at such a young age is quite remarkable. But unfortunately, that doesn’t give you the right to run wild here. I suggest you kneel and surrender immediately. Otherwise, once we make our move, you won’t even have the chance to beg for forgiveness!"
"Heh, beg for forgiveness? Gu Zhiyuan is the one who won’t get that chance!" Yang Qi sneered. "I don’t know who you people are, but I’ll give you one opportunity. Get out of my way now. Otherwise, you’ll die here too."
"Hahaha! Giving us a chance? Kid, you’re unbelievably arrogant." The sixteen men laughed as if mocking Yang Qi’s ignorance.
One of them scoffed, "Kid, maybe the Tianhai Association was in the wrong this time, but your Star Shining Society only lost a single subordinate. Is it really worth being this relentless? You killed the Tianhai Association’s Jin Xing and Gu Mingwu. One was Chairman Gu’s disciple, and the other was his brother. If you ask me, the Tianhai Association is the one that should be looking for trouble, not you."
"Jin Xing massacred innocents in Thunder City and kidnapped someone from my Star Shining Society. Didn’t he deserve to die?"
"Gu Mingwu humiliated the Chen Family, even forcing them to kneel before Jin Xing’s Spirit Hall. Didn’t he deserve to die?"
"Cut the crap! I’ll only ask this once: are you going to move, or are you going to die? I don’t care who you are. Today, I am killing Gu Zhiyuan!" he roared.
Black Widow may have just been Li Qingyan’s bodyguard, but to me, she was family. Not just any family, but the kind who would sacrifice her life for the rest of us. How could I not be furious that they killed her? How could I not be enraged?
"You stubborn fool! In that case, I’ll kill you first!"
A masked man soared into the air, charging directly at Yang Qi.
Truth be told, none of them took Yang Qi seriously. In their eyes, how formidable could a young man in his twenties possibly be?
Yang Qi’s gaze turned even colder. They not only refused to admit their mistake but also wouldn’t leave. They planned to join forces with Gu Zhiyuan to kill him. Since that was the case, he had no reason to hold back.
Suddenly, the wings on his back began to gleam with a brilliant Golden Light. Lightning seemed to flicker on every single feather.
Then, countless feathers flew out, beginning to form a terrifying storm centered around Yang Qi. The approaching masked man was instantly shredded into pieces.
The storm grew more terrifying. Countless golden feathers and lightning intertwined, seeming ready to destroy everything. A deep sense of unease settled in the hearts of every Tianhai Association Martial Artist.
What kind of attack is this? It’s so terrifying! A Fourth Rank Overlord was shredded to pieces so easily... What will happen if he fully unleashes it?
Yang Qi ignored their fear. He continued to control the countless feathers, making them spin faster and faster. The destructive power grew, causing nearby buildings to collapse and shatter into dust.
Terrifying peals of thunder roared continuously.
"Stop him, quickly!" Gu Zhiyuan roared.
He felt a terrifying sense of crisis. He didn’t know what Yang Qi was doing, but something felt terribly wrong. Besides, any technique that could instantly kill a Fourth Rank Overlord couldn’t possibly be ordinary.
Almost simultaneously, everyone around shot toward Yang Qi, including the remnants of the Tianhai Association and the fifteen remaining masked men. They too felt the terror of the storm and knew they had to stop it. They had to.
"AHH—!" a scream rang out.
"DON’T!" another followed.
The remnants of the Tianhai Association had few experts among them, yet they still rushed to their deaths. The moment they entered the storm’s range, all they left to the world were their final screams. Nothing else remained.
"Gu Zhiyuan, you bastard! What kind of monster did you provoke!"
Witnessing this horrifying scene, the fifteen masked men trembled and hurriedly retreated.
It’s impossible to stop it! The closer we get to Yang Qi, the more terrifying the storm becomes. It’s completely unstoppable!
"Old fool, go to hell! I’ll send you on your way with my strongest attack!" A cold smirk appeared on Yang Qi’s lips as he roared, "Thunder Metal Storm!"
The terrifying storm finally detached from his body and flew forward.
BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM!
It was absolutely terrifying, like a hurricane sweeping through. The buildings of the Tianhai Association were swiftly shattered by the devastating storm. No, perhaps it was even more terrifying than a hurricane, for it contained deadly golden feathers and fearsome lightning.
The storm gradually dissipated.
If anyone had been there to see it, they would have witnessed a scene of devastation akin to the aftermath of a hurricane. The Tianhai Association was utterly leveled, as if it had suffered an apocalyptic catastrophe. All of its ordinary members had been killed in the storm, leaving none behind.
Of the fifteen masked men, twelve were dead. The three who remained were gravely injured, their faces filled with terror. Clearly, they had never seen such a horrifying attack. Their masks had long since shattered, revealing nothing but their terrified faces. Who could have imagined that the owner of the Star Shining Society would be this terrifying?
Gu Zhiyuan was not faring any better. Although he had blocked the storm’s attack, he was now gasping for breath, his body covered in wounds, and his face was a grim mask of fury and fear.
If an attack like that comes again, I’m dead for sure. Luckily, I’m a Fifth Rank Overlord. Otherwise, my fate would have been the same as those masked men—a tragic death on the spot. Or I’d be left on the brink of death, unable to do anything but wait for the end.
"You brat, I truly underestimated you! But since you’ve destroyed the very foundation of my Tianhai Association, there’s no way I’m letting you leave today. You will pay the price for what you have done!"
BOOM!
Gu Zhiyuan unleashed his lifelong Power. The man had already reached the minor completion stage of the Fifth Rank Overlord realm, releasing a force that even Yang Qi would find difficult to contend with.
