Chapter 145: The Silhouette of Carrying a Bicycle and Running Against the Setting Sun of That Year

The highway was shattered into pieces, resembling a crumpled scroll, with scattered stones strewn all over the ground.

One military truck after another came to a screeching, panicked halt.

Inside the truck bed, Zhao Lingyin’s little assistant, who had just been chatting and laughing with her, suddenly felt the vehicle shake violently. Her body slammed against the interior wall, leaving her completely dazed and disoriented.

She was utterly bewildered.

What was going on?

What had just happened?

This was a convoy escorted by a dream-weaving team led by a state-level dreamweaver.

Such a convoy could be considered of the highest caliber throughout the entire Great Xia Nation.

Could someone actually be attacking a convoy like this?

They had only just left Jiangling City not long ago.

The attackers were unimaginably bold!

Inside the truck, everyone else was in high spirits.

Zhao Lingyin stood up excitedly, clutching the Vulcan Spear in her hands, her entire body brimming with fighting spirit.

She knew there was going to be a fight!

And fighting always made her excited!

As for the other members of the Azure Wolf Team, they didn’t hesitate for a second. They rushed out of the truck, each drawing their weapons.

Du Fang, however, was not in a hurry. He watched the members of the Azure Wolf Team with keen interest, observing and comparing the differences between the Azure Wolf Team and the Wildfire Team.

The overall strength of the Azure Wolf Team was far superior to that of the Wildfire Team. This was reflected not just in individual power, but even more so in their seamless coordination.

The Azure Wolf Team had long-range attackers, close-combat fighters, physical-type dreamweavers, and telekinetic-type dreamweavers...

Aside from a domain-type dreamweaver, almost every other role was present.

They could be considered the most powerful combination beneath a super-star-tier team.

Of course, the configuration of the Wildfire Team was actually quite similar, but their individual strength was vastly inferior.

Du Fang also leaped down from the military truck.

He slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky.

The sky seemed obscured, shrouded in two distinct colors:

brilliant gold and scorching red.

Two mighty torrents of power, like two vast oceans, blotted out the sun.

The sunlight could not shine through, and the air between heaven and earth was filled with a suffocating oppression!

"Two nation-falling-tier powerhouses!"

In a truck in the distance, Azure Wolf Team captain Cang Yuan slowly stepped out. Gripping a large saber, a solemn expression surfaced on his face.

"This is somewhat unexpected... I never thought they would dispatch two nation-falling-tier powerhouses."

Bulging veins throbbed on the hands with which Cang Yuan gripped his saber.

A fierce, ferocious glint slowly spread through his eyes.

Around him, the dream spirit swept forth like a storm, and amidst crackling sounds, bloody lightning flashes flickered past.

That was lightning born from the interweaving of dream spirits!

"They are members of the Heavenly Demon Organization... This sickening aura of dream demons."

Cang Yuan said, looking somewhat surprised.

In truth, not just Cang Yuan, but even Du Fang felt a hint of surprise.

He had deduced that an attack was possible upon leaving Jiangling City this time.

After all, the two previous attacks in Jiangling City had both been orchestrated by the Divine Core Organization, and since the Divine Core Organization had suffered heavy losses there, they were the most likely to strike again to recoup their losses.

However, the ones who appeared were not members of the Divine Core Organization.

Instead, it was the Heavenly Demon Organization...

"The Heavenly Demon Organization... For what purpose? For the Black Dragon King?"

Cang Yuan narrowed his eyes.

His hair whipped about as he stared at the powerful figures floating high in the firmament, suspended in mid-air, releasing two dream demon phantoms.

A sliver of urgency caused every cell in Cang Yuan’s body to tremble!

"The Capital Azure Wolf Team is escorting prisoners to the capital! Those who block us shall die!"

Cang Yuan slowly raised his large saber, the blade pointing directly ahead as he let out a stern shout!

With those words spoken,

he stomped heavily down with one foot.

The highway vibrated violently like a shaken carpet.

Acting like a coiled spring, the massive rebound force transformed Cang Yuan’s body into a straight black line that shot straight up into the void.

A blade aura several meters long erupted from his large saber, splitting the firmament!

Clang!

Before the Golden Dragon King, countless golden lights seemed to gather, forming a golden shield.

The blade aura slashed down upon it, unable to penetrate even a fraction of an inch!

The Golden Dragon King's defense was incomparably formidable.

The Crimson Dragon King raised his hand, and surging flames erupted from the shattered highway, hurtling into the air to smash down toward Cang Yuan.

Cang Yuan swung his saber, cleaving the pillar of fire apart.

Three nation-tier powerhouses floated in the air, confronting one another.

"The Heavenly Demon Organization... actually deploying two nation-falling-tier powerhouses. How audacious!"

Cang Yuan said coldly.

This was a complete disregard for the Great Xia Nation Dreamweaver Association!

"No, we hold reverence for the Great Xia Nation Dreamweaver Association, but our companion has been detained, and we have a reason we must rescue him."

"If you release the Black Dragon King, we will choose to retreat immediately."

The Golden Dragon King spoke.

Radiating brilliant golden light, he exerted immense pressure on Cang Yuan.

For the strength of this Golden Dragon King was infinitely approaching the level of an intermediate nation-falling-tier!

At this moment, the three nation-tier figures confronting each other in the sky were all at the initial tier.

Yet the Golden Dragon King appeared to possess an even stronger momentum, outclassing both Cang Yuan and the Crimson Dragon King!

In a battle like this, the suspense was not too great!

However, the Azure Wolf Team was not incapable of fighting!

The remaining four members of the Azure Wolf Team showed no hesitation in the face of the nation-falling-tier Heavenly Demon Dragon Kings.

They instantly unleashed their dream spirits, their momentum soaring like a rainbow as they stood ready in strict formation.

Cang Yuan was also confident. With the strength of the Azure Wolf Team, they should barely manage to stall one nation-falling-tier powerhouse!

This place was not far from Jiangling City.

As long as they could stall them,

State-level dreamweavers like Mr. and Mrs. Li Ang rushing over from Jiangling City would be enough to turn the tide of battle!

"Hold them off!"

"Fight!"

With Cang Yuan’s stern shout, the members of the Azure Wolf Team immediately understood.

Four city-crossing-tier dreamweavers began moving across the shattered highway, charging toward the enemies in the sky.

All sorts of offensive attacks erupted from them, and their peculiar abilities were displayed without reservation.

A tank-type dreamweaver, specializing in defense, let out a roar and leaped into the air as countless spikes of steel erupted from the ground, transforming into a defensive fortress.

It was as if a single person had conjured a city out of thin air, suppressing the earth-fire erupting from the fractured ground!

On the other side, pores opened all over another member's body, spitting tongues of fire. Guided by dream spirit perception, these bullets were amplified and accelerated, tearing through the air like an intersecting, slicing net of blades as they assaulted the Crimson Dragon King in the sky!

The members of the Azure Wolf Team were all city-crossing-tier, some even at the advanced city-crossing-tier; their strength was by no means weak.

Their mutual coordination was extremely tight, balancing offense and defense to form a comprehensive line of defense!

In the sky, Cang Yuan slashed his saber toward the Golden Dragon King.

This Golden Dragon King, whose power infinitely approached the intermediate nation-falling-tier, was the trickiest opponent.

However, Cang Yuan’s expression soon shifted slightly.

He looked toward the dense forests on both sides of the highway.

Battle cries rang out, and one dark shadow after another burst forth at high speed, diving downward toward the convoy!

"More than two nation-falling-tier powerhouses?!"

Cang Yuan’s eyes split with fury!

What the hell?

The Heavenly Demon Organization actually deployed a lineup like this just to rescue a city-annihilating-tier Black Dragon King?

Are they out of their minds?!

Seven or eight city-annihilating-tier members of the Heavenly Demon Organization charged out.

There were wolf demons, tiger demons, ox demons...

All sorts of demonic phantoms materialized as these members of the Heavenly Demon Organization dived down.

Demons dancing wildly in chaos!

The world darkened!

Within the convoy, everyone fell silent.

Ordinary military officers and police officers began pulling the triggers, using the stationary military trucks as cover.

Bullets whistled through the air.

Yet against these city-annihilating-tier Heavenly Demon dream demons, they were completely useless!

Driver Old Chang was running wildly with his long strides!

Behind his dark sunglasses, his eyes were filled with excitement.

Boss, Old Chang is coming to save you!

Mingling among the many city-annihilating-tier powerhouses, he locked onto the Black Dragon King's aura from the very start and sprinted rapidly toward the vehicle holding the Black Dragon King captive!

Cang Yuan in the sky was growing anxious.

The lineup deployed by the enemy completely exceeded his expectations.

The Heavenly Demon Organization had gone mad!

Daring to deploy such forces within the borders of the Great Xia Nation...

Did they intend to completely break ties with the Great Xia Nation?!

Was it worth it for a mere city-annihilating-tier Black Dragon King?!

"Stop them!"

Cang Yuan shouted sternly.

Furious though Cang Yuan was, he was entirely powerless to act.

Because engaging the Golden Dragon King already required every ounce of his strength.

The Azure Wolf Team members joining forces to hold back the Crimson Dragon King had already reached their limit.

As for the remaining city-annihilating-tier Heavenly Demon dream demons...

Cang Yuan truly had no way to deal with them!

"Scram!"

"Get lost, all of you! Who asked you to save me?! Just get lost!"

"Get away from here! Run as far as you can!"

Inside the truck, within the cage, the Black Dragon King’s face was dark. Gone was any semblance of elegance as he tore his throat, roaring and screaming at the top of his lungs.

However, the louder the Black Dragon King shouted, the harder the dream demons of the Heavenly Demon Organization fought, and the more moved they became!

"The Black Dragon King is truly too good!"

"He's worried we'll encounter danger because of rescuing him!"

"Don't worry, Lord Black Dragon King, we will never abandon you! We will definitely save you!"

"Never leave behind, never give up!"

One city-annihilating-tier Heavenly Demon dream demon after another sprinted forward, swearing oaths of deep emotion!

The Black Dragon King almost vomited blood.

Damn it!

With his sharp eyesight, he spotted Driver Old Chang amidst the mob of demons.

In an instant, the Black Dragon King understood what was going on!

"Scram!"

The Black Dragon King roared!

Driver Old Chang was somewhat different from the other Heavenly Demon dream demons who were moved to tears.

The tacit master-servant understanding cultivated over many years played out to absolute perfection at this very moment.

Most importantly,

Driver Old Chang’s single eye behind his dark sunglasses instantly caught sight of a shockingly handsome, flawless youth standing right in front of the Black Dragon King’s cage!

This youth...

Reminded Driver Old Chang of the sunset backdrop where his boss had carried a car and sprinted away...

Damn it!

It was him!

It was him, it was him!

Why was this guy here too?!

Driver Old Chang felt his scalp tingle! His face practically twisted and distorted out of shape!

A sense of sheer terror instantly climbed all over his body!

Without a second of hesitation, he stomped heavily down with his foot and slammed on the brakes!

"Run!"

Driver Old Chang screamed at the top of his lungs!

He wanted to stop the Heavenly Demon dream demons charging around him.

However, these dream demons had already been moved to the point of self-delusion by their boss's words. Like infatuated bulls, nothing could turn them back!

Driver Old Chang didn't force it. Instead, he spun around 180 degrees and sprinted away toward the rear at top speed!

Boss!

Just wait a little longer for me!

Old Chang will definitely be back!
