CHAPTER 44: True Martial Phantom
The two individuals encircled in the middle were tall, their entire bodies shrouded beneath black robes, appearing as if they had something to hide.
Surrounding them were eight people, including a middle-aged man dressed in law enforcement attire and several figures from southern heaven martial high, including Pang Long.
Meanwhile, several armored vehicles came to a halt a hundred meters away, their laser headlights illuminating the area as soldiers on top aimed sniper rifles at the two men.
At that moment, Lin Xiong, who had stopped them with a palm, stepped forward slowly and said in a deep voice, “You evil god lackeys, causing trouble in Keluoya is bad enough, but you dare to come to Eastern Summer.”
“Speak up, who is supporting you?”
One of the black-robed men, with a hoarse voice, replied, “I don’t understand what you are saying. We are here to promote the will of the great supreme deity Akunus.”
“Hmph! Not admitting it,” Lin Xiong's gaze turned icy. “Do you think we can’t find out if you don’t speak? With no one backing you, how can you remain hidden for so many days?”
“Let me guess, you can’t take the land route, and the air route is blocked, so you can only travel by water.”
“And the only groups and minor forces connected to the waterways in this city that can avoid checks are those few…”
At that moment, the two cultists suddenly shouted fervently, “For the great Akunus!”
Boom!
In an instant, a red light exploded from their bodies, transforming into two enormous blood python phantoms that wrapped around a few meters of space, radiating a strong and sinister aura.
Seeing this, Pang Long and the others around them changed their expressions slightly and instinctively took a step back.
“Be careful, use true power to protect your body, don’t let that filthy blood touch you.”
Bang bang!!
At that moment, two soldiers with sniper rifles atop the armored vehicles a hundred meters away suddenly opened fire, causing large explosions of red light in front of the two cultists.
Two bullets, capable of penetrating armored vehicles, tore through the blood pythons and created two basin-sized holes, but were ultimately stopped by an invisible force before they reached the cultists' thighs.
“You don’t need to take action; block off the surroundings to prevent anyone from helping them.”
As Lin Xiong spoke, a mighty aura erupted from him, and a heavy presence enveloped the area, slowly forming a black furious ape phantom behind him, towering two meters high.
Boom!
Lin Xiong’s momentum surged several times, with his will and true power emanating like a solid mass, causing the surrounding air to feel as though it was solidifying, heavy and intimidating.
“Surprisingly, a seventh level of heaven expert, and he has condensed a true martial phantom!” The two men’s faces changed drastically. Were the high-level experts here not supposed to be absent?
Roar!
As the furious ape phantom let out a mighty roar, Lin Xiong leapt dozens of meters into the air, his body shining with black true power, and struck down with a palm.
At the same time, the furious ape phantom behind Lin Xiong also brought down a palm, layering their attacks, and in an instant, they condensed into a black palm print covering a ten-meter radius.
Boom!
As the palm print appeared, a terrifying pressure descended upon the two cultists, causing their bones to crack under the immense weight.
Furthermore, the ground within a ten-meter radius around them suddenly sank, forming a palm print impression several inches deep, the force absolutely terrifying.
Facing this almost impossible-to-resist strike, the two cultists suddenly looked up, revealing their coarse, dark faces, their expressions fervent with not a hint of fear.
“Great Akunus, we are willing to offer everything we have, just for your mark to appear in this world. Show yourself, Nine-Headed God!”
Accompanying their eerily frenzied prayers, the blood light surrounding them surged even more, and a powerful force erupted from within them.
