Super Invincible Battleship

Chapter 270: Chapter 153: Earthquake and Tremor

Huo Shan’s sudden attack had resolved one of the major enemies besieging him. However, before he could repeat his tactic, Duan Hongye suddenly vanished from her spot and then reappeared beside Huo Shan, thrusting her long sword at him. Huo Shan’s wrist flicked, and the scimitar appeared in his hand. He used the scimitar to block the long sword’s attack and then unleashed a thunderous counterattack.

As Duan Hongye and Huo Shan officially began their fight, a terrifying blast of energy, like that of exploding shells, erupted around them, showing a very formidable power. The battle between the two god-level experts tore the heavens and earth asunder, and Duan Hongye’s colleagues simply couldn’t intervene. They could only anxiously follow the life-and-death struggle between the two, not daring to slacken their focus for even a moment.

The two exchanged blows rapidly, and suddenly they both disappeared, then reappeared a distance away, creating a very eerie scene. Suddenly, Huo Shan somersaulted, emitting a strange cry, and actually dived into the cave at the city entrance in the mountains, with Duan Hongye hot on his heels chasing after him. Everyone could only hear the fierce sounds of their fight echoing from the cave, but they couldn’t see the specific scene of the battle inside.

It wasn’t until Huo Shan and Duan Hongye were out of sight that Yan Fei retracted his gaze and started pondering his own situation. Having been saved by Duan Hongye at his most dangerous moment didn’t mean he was safe now. Although the China Special Duties Unit was also there to kill Huo Shan, that did not mean they were on Yan Fei’s side. It was possible that after they killed Huo Shan, they would immediately turn on Yan Fei. Duan Hongye had, clearly, a strong sense of justice, and once she discovered that Yan Fei had killed everyone in the mountain city, including women and children, she might feel obliged to execute Yan Fei. And, if Huo Shan emerged victorious, he definitely wouldn’t spare Yan Fei either. So, regardless of who won, Yan Fei was on a path toward certain death. He had to act in advance to take control of the situation.

The drone had crashed in the distance not because of severe damage, but due to a loss of balance caused by the loss of a wing, and it had fallen on soft sand, so the drone wasn’t severely damaged; at least its main body wasn’t critically affected. And under Yan Fei’s control, even lacking one wing, the drone could still fly into the sky, for it had another exceptional ability—hovering.

So, while everyone else was focused on the battle between Huo Shan and Duan Hongye, Yan Fei quietly took control of the downed drone from afar, using the drone’s hovering capability to rise back into the sky and then slowly approached Yan Fei on the ground. With Duan Hongye and Huo Shan locked in a major battle, no one was paying attention to the abnormal situation on Yan Fei’s end.

The drone approached the lying Yan Fei silently and landed back on the ground. Yan Fei’s injuries had been greatly alleviated under the influence of the black sphere’s mysterious energy, granting him a certain degree of mobility. With great effort, using both hands and feet, he finally managed to climb into the drone cockpit.

Once Yan Fei was inside the drone cockpit and the cockpit door had closed, the drone took off again, hovering two hundred meters above the ground. It was only then that Yan Fei began to feel safe again. However, due to the loss of one wing, the drone had lost its maneuverability and could no longer fly as freely as before. Huo Shan was powerful, and if he defeated Duan Hongye and found out that it was because of Yan Fei that his sect had been destroyed by the Destroyer, he might go to China to completely finish off Yan Fei. At that time, Yan Fei’s death would be inevitable.

But now, with Duan Hongye at the forefront, Yan Fei had the option to ally with her. It was the best moment to join forces and collectively eliminate Huo Shan, otherwise once Huo Shan escaped, Yan Fei’s situation would be dire. Even if he managed to kill all members of the Assassin Sect except Huo Shan, Huo Shan posed a greater threat than all of them combined. Therefore, in order to protect himself, Yan Fei had not left the area—he had to kill Huo Shan there.

Duan Hongye and Huo Shan were in intense combat within the cave at the city entrance in the mountains. The cave rang with thunderous explosions, and it was a mystery how they achieved that. Suddenly, Yan Fei heard an earth-shattering noise; the large cave entrance collapsed, and masses of rocks tumbled down, sealing the cave completely. As the cave collapsed, the entire mountain shook as if a high-intensity earthquake had occurred.

After the dust had settled from the cave collapse, the sounds of Duan Hongye and Huo Shan’s battle ceased. Just as everyone was on edge, not knowing whether the people inside were safe, who won or who lost, a long roar was heard, and the two fighters flew out from a smaller cave next to the entrance. Both were covered in mud and sand, looking extremely disheveled. As soon as they left the range of the cave, they dropped their hands from their mouths and noses and began to breathe in the fresh air deeply.

It turned out that after entering the cave, they had discovered it was filled with poisonous gas. However, they didn’t take this poison seriously at first, and continued to combat fiercely while holding their breath in the cave, their immense strength causing the cave to collapse. Only after the cave collapsed did they realize the potency of the poisonous gas, which even they couldn’t withstand, forcing them to make an embarrassing retreat.
