Chapter 35: Quick Battle
The sound of the dining table breaking, the sound of wine glasses shattering, the sound of floor tiles cracking... all converged, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Guests and waiters scattered, watching from a distance, giving the conflicting parties enough space to retreat.
Just as Guan Ya and the others dodged the first wave of wind blade attacks, the second wave of wind blades condensed and took shape, whistling and shooting towards them.
Again?
Tianxia Guihuo's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Just as he was about to disregard martial ethics and call his companions to besiege this arrogant second-generation Spirit, a gust of wind suddenly blew beside him, creating a wall of wind in front of everyone.
The wind blades crashed into the wall, making "puff puff" sounds, turning into gusts of breeze.
"Julian Mead, if you want to fight, I can duel you!" Wing of the Wind God walked over, staring fearlessly at the blonde, blue-eyed young man.
Julian Mead glanced sideways, "Who are you?"
"Anti-Black and White Alliance, Wing of the Wind God!" The handsome young man said in a deep voice, "We are both wind mages, both Level Six, it's fairer!"
"Anti-Black and White Alliance? What a disgusting name, you piece of trash are worthy to be here?" Julian Mead grabbed a cloak woven from white feathers, draped it behind him, and waved his hand violently.
Whoosh~
A terrifying hurricane swept through the hall, and a violent tornado rose from the ground under Wing of the Wind God's feet, pushing him heavily against the ceiling.
Bang!
A hole was smashed in the ceiling, and chunks of cement fell densely.
Wing of the Wind God then fell, writhing in pain, his whole body covered with fine wounds torn by the hurricane, turning him into a bloody mess.
Julian Mead didn't even look at him, and said lightly, "Throw him out."
Immediately, two members of the Judgement came forward, lifted Wing of the Wind God up, and walked him out.
The leaders of the Anti-Black and White Alliance looked angry, but dared not speak out, and frequently looked at the Saints of the Five Elements Alliance. Seeing that they did not express their views, they reluctantly chased after the two members of the Judgement.
Representatives of major organizations whispered to each other. After the exchanges at the banquet, they had all met this wind mage, Level Six Saint, the face of the Anti-Black and White Alliance in Chinatown.
He was so easily severely injured by Julian Mead.
Even if Julian's experience points were higher than his opponent's, he shouldn't have been defeated so easily... Everyone turned their attention to the white feather cloak on the Spirit Second Generation's shoulder.
"That cloak..." The merchant Reilly Eugene narrowed his eyes, carefully examined it for a moment, and suddenly realized, "A White Heron Cloak, a Dominator-level item, an item that Executive Sean used to use."
The whispering turned into a clamor.
Dominator-level items are scarce in number. Even a chief executive like Sean Mead has a limited number of them. Being able to give it away means that the grade is not high and overlaps with one's own skills, but even if the quality is poor, it is still a Dominator item.
"This is going to be a good show."
The surrounding guests became excited, looking forward to the confrontation between the two sides. This was one of the purposes of their attending the gathering.
"Are you going to come at me together, or one by one?" Julian Mead stared proudly at the Saints of the Five Elements Alliance, "I'll give you five seconds. If you don't speak, I'll blow you all to the sky."
He paused for a moment on Asano Ryo, who was indeed an extremely outstanding beauty. No wonder Brady was so obsessed with her.
In addition to Asano Ryo, these two young girls from the Five Elements Alliance were even more stunning than Asano Ryo.
Brady was too weak. Whether it was women or enemies, as long as they were made to submit, they could be manipulated at will. Force was the easiest way to make people submit.
He had no intention of showing any tenderness or pity. On the contrary, he believed that the more aggressive he was tonight, the more obedient they would be in the future.
Zhang Yuanqing pressed Hongjige's shoulder, turned his head and said to Sun Miaomiao, "Go and treat Wing of the Wind God's injuries."
As a Way of the Extraordinary in the Second District, Sun Miaomiao was not short of healing items or life source liquid.
Sun Miaomiao nodded, picked up her skirt, and ran out of the hall.
Zhang Yuanqing then looked at the three Dominators in the distance. Donna of the Goddess Association frowned and whispered in Sean Mead's ear, seemingly trying to stop the conflict.
Sean Mead shook his head slightly.
He was too lazy to argue with the younger generation, but it didn't mean that after his nephew was beaten, he had to swallow his anger and stop his son from retaliating.
The predecessor of the Mead family was a gang in the Free Federation, who mingled in the West. The Meads at that time held a glass of tequila in their hands, a revolver stuck in their waist, and shot the heads of their enemies with a laugh.
Then, they would invite the corpse of the enemy to drink a glass of strong wine.
In the eyes of the gang, revenge was a virtue.
Vinnie Berendt's voice was cold, "Julian, take off your item. You're not the only one who owns a Dominator-level item."
Julian curled the corners of his mouth:
"Prosecutor, I don't need to use the White Heron Cloak to deal with them. I just used it to deal with annoying flies."
After saying that, he took off the White Heron Cloak and put it back in his inventory.
Zhang Yuanqing withdrew his gaze and looked at Julian.
"How arrogant. I'll make you even more arrogant..." Zhang Yuanqing secretly influenced the other party's emotions, pointed to the outside of the hall, and further stimulated Julian's mentality, "Get out here!"
He took the initiative to walk towards the entrance of the hall.
Julian was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly, "I've seen the surveillance footage of you fighting Brady. You were the one who took the lead. Tonight, I'm going to break your bones and chop you into pieces with wind blades."
He guessed that this Beast King wanted to use the vast terrain to entangle with him, but for a wind mage, all the enemies on the ground were just living targets.
Julian rode the wind, his cloak rustling, and floated out of the hall.
The hall full of guests followed closely, leaving the banquet hall. The merchant Reilly Eugene turned his head and whispered a few words in his subordinate's ear.
The subordinate ran out of the villa excitedly, ran to the parking lot, carried a recording device, and ran back to film from a distance.
Reilly Eugene was a mature businessman. A businessman would not let go of an opportunity to make money. He planned to record the conflict between the two sides into a video and sell it on the online forums of major Lawful organizations.
After rushing out of the villa, Julian quickly ascended into the air, overlooking from a high place. He saw the guests in formal attire swarming out, and saw the young man named Jū Máng stopping by the fountain, talking to the members of the Anti-Black and White Alliance in a low voice.
After listening to a few words, the guy named Wing of the Wind God led his subordinates and retreated to the steps.
Julian said loudly, "You can run as much as you want. I'll be responsible for the damaged things, including the guests' cars."
He waved his hand and sent out a wave of wind blades, covering the enemy overwhelmingly.
Zhang Yuanqing bent his knees and ejected to the left, avoiding the wind blades, but before he could stand firm, a strong and terrifying hurricane suddenly rose under his feet, engulfing him into the sky.
Fine wind blades instantly tore his formal attire and cut open his skin.
"Damn it..."
Wing of the Wind God's face changed slightly.
He knew the horror of hurricanes best. Hurricanes were the main attack skill of Level Six Swift Winders. Every strand of wind was like a steel wire, and objects caught in it would be cut into pieces.
The watching guests were not surprised at all. They were here to watch Julian teach the Saints of the Five Elements Alliance a lesson.
Representatives of major organizations had investigated the information of the Five Elements Alliance team. There were several Level Five Saints, but no Level Six. And this young man named Jū Máng was just a Level Four Beast King.
A Level Six Swif Twinder dealing with a Beast King was like an Extraordinary dealing with an ordinary person.
Suddenly, Zhang Yuanqing, who was trapped in the hurricane, grew dark feathers, his arms became flat and long, covered with thick wings, his lips protruded into a long beak, his legs turned into sharp claws, and fan-shaped long feathers grew from the tail vertebrae.
In an instant, he turned into a giant eagle with a wingspan of five meters.
"Screech~"
In the piercing and loud cry of the eagle, the giant eagle flapped its wings, tore apart the hurricane, soared into the sky, and crashed into Julian like a fighter jet, its sharp beak like a spear.
Julian's expression changed, and he quickly erected a wind wall.
"Bang!"
The wind wall that the wind mage was proud of was torn apart in an instant, but Julian also took the opportunity to distance himself. With a drastically changed expression, he didn't hesitate, opened his inventory, and grabbed the White Heron Cloak to cover himself.
The next second, the giant eagle smashed his body, but it was just an afterimage.
Zhang Yuanqing flapped his wings and flew high, rushing to a high altitude that ordinary people could not see, a pair of amber-colored round pupils overlooking the ground, and quickly locked onto Julian's figure.
What he activated was the Beast Transformation skill of the Azure Emperor Jade Belt. The Azure Emperor Jade Belt was a Dominator-level item. When a Saint activated the Beast Body, he could increase his level, the limitation being that he could not cross ranks.
Therefore, even if he activated the Beast Body, he was still at the peak of the Saint realm, but this was exactly what Zhang Yuanqing needed most.
Without revealing his class, the Azure Emperor Jade Belt was the only item that could allow his combat power to remain at the peak of Level Six. Therefore, before walking out of the hall, he had secretly put on the Azure Emperor Jade Belt.
Of course, even if the existence of the item was exposed, it wouldn't be a big problem. Few people in the Second District had seen the Azure Emperor Jade Belt, and it belonged to the relics of the Primordial Lord of Heaven, and there happened to be the Primordial Lord of Heaven's girlfriend in the team.
The high-level members of the Five Elements Alliance would not have any doubts when they saw the Azure Emperor Jade Belt.
Julian, who avoided the collision, raised his head and stared at the giant eagle flapping its wings in shock and uncertainty.
He knew that the Beast King in the Second District had the ability to transform into animals, but what was going on with this violent aura, what was going on with this powerful attack?
Julian had felt a similar pressure and aura when he was working at the headquarters, from Osmond.
This was the aura of the peak of Level Six. Those guys whose experience points reached 100% would undergo some kind of transformation in their bodies, a transformation that was close to the Dominator, so that one day in the future when they were promoted to Dominator, their bodies could withstand the infusion of spiritual power across stages.
Wasn't this Beast King named "Jū Máng" a Level Four Beast King?
The same doubts surfaced in the minds of the watching guests. Everyone looked up at the night sky, capturing the blurred figure of the giant eagle, their faces full of astonishment.
This was completely different from what they had expected. Jū Máng was actually a peak Saint?
Level Six and the peak of Level Six were not the same thing. She didn't expect Jū Máng to be a peak Saint. In official organizations, a peak Saint of Level Six was equivalent to a Dominator reserve, and each one was a treasure.
Vinnie Berendt raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, but more surprised.
"Whew, Mister Yuanshi has so many tricks..." Annie breathed a sigh of relief and put her hanging heart back into her chest. Then she saw President Donna staring at the night sky with sparkling eyes, as if she had found something interesting.
Sean Mead frowned, and his expression became serious and solemn.
In contrast, the members of the Five Elements Alliance were extremely calm, with a strong confidence in their leader.
As thoughts flashed, the hairs on his back stood on end. A black shadow dived down from the high altitude, its speed exceeding the speed of sound.
"Faster than me..." Julian's heart sank, his pupils became translucent, and a "Hurricane" mark appeared on his forehead.
Swift Winder's deterrence!
A mental deterrence skill that suppressed all enemies in the air.
However, the deterrent effect that had always been effective did not seem to affect the giant eagle. It soared at a speed exceeding the speed of sound, so fast that afterimages appeared.
——Skills in the spiritual field were difficult to affect a Dream Weaver at the peak of Level Six.
Julian decisively activated the White Heron Cloak's skill. All he heard was the whistling sound of "whoosh", and tornadoes condensed and scattered around Julian, moving around him at high speed. The scene was magnificent.
Wind King Domain!
The function of the White Heron Cloak. It was not only a powerful group attack skill, but also a powerful strangling protective net formed by the hurricane moving at high speed around the caster.
It tore apart all enemies who dared to approach.
The ground roared with strong winds, and the high-altitude hurricane danced wildly. The apocalyptic scene made the guests below feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts.
The giant eagle glided nimbly in the night sky, sometimes diving, sometimes turning, sometimes tilting its body, dodging the encirclement and suppression of the tornado with extremely agile posture, successfully broke into the core, and crashed straight into Julian Mead.
"Damn it!" Julian Mead's expression changed slightly. The Wind King Domain was his trump card, a skill that was always effective in the Saint realm. Even wind mages of the same profession and level could only retreat and dare not approach when he used this move.
This was the first time he had seen an enemy of the same level who was faster and more agile than him, breaking through the blockade of the Wind King Domain with speed and flight skills.
Julian originally wanted to avoid it temporarily, but for some reason, a strong contempt and resistance to losing face suddenly surged in his heart.
What qualifications does a foreigner from the Second District have to make me avoid him?
So many people are watching, if I retreat, wouldn't I lose all face?
This emotion came inexplicably, but he followed his heart, not retreating or avoiding, pushed his hands outwards, erected a wind wall, and at the same time condensed a wave of wind blades in front, covering the front indiscriminately.
The White Heron Cloak greatly enhanced the skills of the wind mage. The level of the wind wall was different from just now.
"Clang clang clang..."
The wind blades slashed on the giant eagle, and the hard feathers splashed sparks.
Almost in the next second, the giant eagle crashed into the wind wall, and a cloud of blood exploded instantly. The sharp beak broke first, and the feathers, which were harder than steel, fell.
Dead? What a stupid thing. The stronger the attack, the stronger the rebound of the wind wall. He didn't even know the skills of the wind mage, yet he dared to fight me? Julian Mead felt happy, and the contempt and pride in his heart rose again.
Just then, he suddenly discovered that the fallen eagle corpse had disappeared abruptly.
Julian was stunned. Before he could react, he saw a figure appearing outside the wind wall, which was the dead Jū Máng.
Not dead? Julian's face changed drastically. Just as he was about to retreat in the wind, Jū Máng had already reached out his arm in advance, pierced the wind wall with a slight force, and grabbed his neck.
In the next moment, a rain of fists hit Julian's face, making his eyes flash with gold stars, his head dizzy, his teeth falling out one by one, his cheeks swelling high, and his lips cracking.
Zhang Yuanqing exerted force with his legs and broke the wind mage's ribs. He grabbed the other's hair with one hand, and clenched the other hand into a fist, and punched heavily towards his cheeks, back of the head, and face.
His fists were not strong, because the price of performing Beast Transformation was cell fragmentation and gene mutation. This pain was enough to make a Saint faint.
Zhang Yuanqing strengthened his fighting will and suppressed the painful emotions, but the damage to his body was substantial and would not disappear because he did not feel the pain.
Julian floated up and down in the air, rushing left and right, like a drunken bird.
Waves of wind blades shot out erratically, but could not hit Jū Máng riding on his back.
As a squishy wind mage, this was the result of being approached by a melee class.
Julian screamed miserably. Pain and dizziness made him lose his composure, and he condensed a wind blade behind him, the blade pointing at himself.
"Come on, stab us in the back, let's see if you die or I die." Zhang Yuanqing sneered.
Julian's whole body stiffened, and the wind blade behind him slowly dissipated.
"Trash!" Zhang Yuanqing struck the other party's temple with an elbow.
Julian's eyes rolled over and he fainted, falling from the high altitude with Zhang Yuanqing.
The wind whistled in his ears. Zhang Yuanqing tore off the cloak from Julian's shoulder, put it into his inventory to complete the ownership recognition, and then quickly took it out and draped it behind him. He immediately mastered the ability to control the airflow.
"Whoosh..."
A breeze rose from the ground, holding up the two falling people, landing steadily.
On the corridor at the entrance of the hall, the well-dressed guests looked sluggish.
This result was different from what they had expected, and even the length of time exceeded their imagination. Julian, who possessed a Dominator item, was defeated in the air.
When did the Five Elements Alliance have such a character?
Reilly Eugene quickly ran to his subordinate and excitedly asked, "Did you record it, did you record it?"
