World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Chapter 1774 - 53: Plague Relics (9)_2

Here, there’s no room for sympathy. When members of two families meet, either both leave calmly or it’s a fierce confrontation to the end. Neither wants to leave anyone alive to tell the tale once outside, especially to the Extraordinary Level ancestors within these families. If they were to intervene, it would signal the final showdown between the two families.

"This Star Sky Ancient Mirror is quite incredible. Once I take you down, it’ll belong to our Rothschild family! Hahaha!"

Alman seems to fancy that Star Sky Ancient Mirror as well. Who wouldn’t want such a powerful treasure with strong defensive power? But Lan Gu seems unwilling to give him the chance, determined to protect the high ground with a do-or-die attitude, as if to say, even if it shatters, it won’t be left to you!

Seeing this, Alman couldn’t help but find it troublesome. The treasure on the opposing side is too thick, and despite having so many people, they couldn’t find a way to break through. In the end, they could only use the method of exhausting Lan Gu’s power through a battle of attrition.

Thus, the entire process continued for about two hours. The Star Sky Ancient Mirror was covered in cracks, and some places were even missing pieces, looking quite tragic, as if it could shatter any moment.

Lan Gu watched the scene, anxious inside; time was running out for him. He’s planning a desperate counter-attack soon and, if impossible, to detonate the Ancient Mirror in his hand to prevent it from falling into the opponent’s hands.

"Heh, seems this guy is planning to fight to the death. Everyone, be cautious. If anything seems off, back off immediately to avoid him self-destructing... As for that mirror, it should be made from Level Four materials. If Lan Gu detonates it, its power will be considerable..."

Alman transmitted to his companions, while ordering regular family disciples to temporarily distance themselves from the area to avoid unnecessary harm.

But before Alman could finish speaking, his expression suddenly froze, turning his head in disbelief toward a certain direction.

"That aura just now... Ji Xing! He’s not dead yet!"

Lan Gu also sensed that familiar aura, emanating from Ji Xing. It looks like he’s in battle with someone else, indicating he’s not alone!

Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope surfaced deep in Lan Gu’s heart.

Perhaps he’s not entirely without hope. If Ji Xing can arrive, there’s a chance he might escape under his cover!

"What’s going on!? Hurry! Send two people over to check the situation!"

Alman was slightly restless, his mind instinctively thinking of the figure inside the Purple Charm Gate. Initially, he hadn’t sensed that guy’s presence, assuming his family successfully ambushed him in this operation, rendering him useless now.

Two elders nodded at his words, then turned and flew towards the source of the aura.

Meanwhile, amid a base of ruins and rubble, Zhang Xiaoman stared bewilderedly at the chaotic scene in front of him, almost unable to recognize it as the room he had previously been in the base.

"Die!"

Before Zhang Xiaoman could continue his observation, a strong spiritual power wave suddenly came from behind. A figure emerged from the shadows, wielding a curved blade, rushing towards him.

The attacker’s speed was extremely fast, his figure flickering like a phantom. If it were anyone else, this strike would have likely succeeded.

Luckily, Zhang Xiaoman’s reflexes were quicker than the ambusher’s. With just a sidestep, he easily avoided the attack, countering with a binding move, immobilizing and fixing the attacker on the spot.

He had just returned from the Original Realm, seeking Naphaya to consult on a few Holy Attribute Skills to hopefully break through the monsters’ blockade and enter the mysterious palace.

At this moment, the Rothschild Clan member who attacked was momentarily dazed, surprised that the person before him was so alert, avoiding his initial assassination.

"Has the Lan Family... been attacked?"

Zhang Xiaoman gently waved his hand, releasing a Dark Energy Shock. The invisible force surged out, instantly countering the ambusher.

"Hmm... Strange, this battle doesn’t seem to have much suspense... But speaking of, how did those intruders get here? Red robes... Could they be members of the Rothschild family?"

A large question mark appeared in Zhang Xiaoman’s mind, feeling somewhat incredulous about the scene unfolding before him.

Logically, in this kind of exploration environment, irrespective of time and place, the Lan Family’s defense forces should be monitoring the base and its surroundings closely.

But from the current situation, it seems like this was an unexpected blitz attack.

So the question arises: How did the Rothschild family manage to carry out a successful ambush?

As Zhang Xiaoman pondered, two blood-red shadows suddenly flashed before him, startling him into instinctively activating Shield defense, while launching a punch towards one of the blood shadows.

"Boom!!"

A resounding spiritual power explosion echoed, with Zhang Xiaoman’s activated Shield forcefully resisting one of the blood shadows’ attacks, while his fist collided with another blood shadow.

"Pssh!"

A man clad in a red robe was blasted backward, his entire arm shattered, unable to stop himself from spewing a mouthful of blood mid-air.

"How could this be!?"

The other figure witnessed his comrade’s dreadful state, exclaiming in surprise.

The person before him has power that far exceeded his expectations. Not only was his reaction astonishing, he could keep up with their speed, and the most striking part was, despite a full-force strike, only Zhang Xiaoman’s Shield was shattered, while his comrade was severely injured. The disparity in strength was simply too great!

Zhang Xiaoman glanced at the two attackers; two Upper Control Level Dark Spirits, their speed fairly impressive, even faster than Plague Guards of the same level. He almost couldn’t react in time. However, their attack power was too lacking, nearly losing combat capability after one clash with him.

But it wasn’t their fault for being weak; it was the stark difference in strength. Zhang Xiaoman now held Fake Transcendent Level, with powerful Constitution, paired with the terrifying explosive power of the Dark Energy Shock, making it normal that someone couldn’t match him in a direct clash.

"Argh~ My arm! What’s happening!?"

The man with the exploded arm spewed another mouthful of blood, staring at his arm in horror.

He had immediately activated his cultivation technique after being repelled. It was special, not only healing wounds but also allowing limb regeneration.

But to his utter terror, his injuries showed no sign of recovery under the cultivation technique’s operation, making his reliable Magic Door fail, which understandably scared him.

Not far away, Zhang Xiaoman glanced at him, knowing that the wounds he caused couldn’t be recovered with personal power under the Master of Destruction’s enhancement. They required external assistance like elixirs to heal, so no matter how hard this guy tried, it wouldn’t be possible.

As he thought these things, his hands didn’t stop, and the Purple Cloud Divine Sword was unknowingly grasped within his palm.

Since he promised Lan Gu he’d help explore the ruins, there was no reason to hold back now; let him confront these people, to see what skills they possess that allowed them to annihilate the Lan Family’s elite forces.
