"Another ssage," Wang Lan said, imdiately standing up as he looked at his phone. "Director Che, quickly lock onto this text ssage’s origin."
In fact, Wang Lan didn’t need to remind him. The mont Wang Lan received the ssage, Che Pure had already issued the order. Previously, tracking had only begun after a delay, significantly reducing accuracy and tiliness. This ti, however, they were lying in wait, all instrunts prid.
As soon as the command was given, the signal tracking devices were all in position, instantly pointing to a location deep in the dense forests of Cloud Sea Province.
"Found it, within a five-kiloter radius," Che Pure reported promptly.
"Let’s go!" As soon as he had a general range, Wang Lan fastened his mask and left the conference room with the Prival Team. Four figures leaped out the window and WHOOSHED into the sky.
Cloud Sea Province is four tis the size of Jiang Province, with over seventy percent of its area covered by mountains and dense forests. Building base stations in these dense forests is difficult, resulting in very weak signal coverage. Without satellite signal relay, cell phones would be useless deep within them.
Wang Lan and his team descended from the sky and began their search within the dense forest. Even people accustod to mountain life could easily get lost in these prival forests; finding a cell phone within a five-kiloter radius here was no simple feat.
"Wait a second," Xu Xiangwen suddenly said. "Soone’s coming, five kiloters away, but from this direction. I’m not sure if it’s our own people."
"Unlikely. If it were our own, I’d know. Take cover. Let’s see who it is."
When it ca to fighting, besides Wang Lan, the others might not be entirely fearless. But in terms of hiding undetected, the four of them were undoubtedly among the world’s best. Not to ntion Jiang Xinyu’s ’Supre Goodness Like Water,’ which allowed her to hide within water vapor; Xie Sisi’s Water Demon ability and Xu Xiangwen’s earth-lding technique also enabled them to blend seamlessly into nature.
Soon, a group of people in camouflage uniforms approached Wang Lan’s position. They were fully ard with helts, thermal scanning goggles, and other equipnt. The woman leading them made Wang Lan’s eyes turn cold.
"Angel!"
"Is that Angel?" Xu Xiangwen asked curiously. "Why does she look... sowhat familiar?"
Angel and Yulia look almost identical. We suspect she is a clone of Yulia—no, perhaps a replicate.
The Angel led her team straight past Wang Lan’s group, heading deeper into the dense forest.
"Is Angel heading towards the person we’re looking for?" Jiang Xinyu asked after they revealed themselves.
"Is there any doubt? Definitely."
The four quietly followed Angel and her team. To avoid detection, they maintained a distance of over three hundred ters, using space shielding and Jiang Xinyu’s ’Supre Goodness Like Water’ to block perception.
Suddenly, Angel’s team halted in the distance. The Angel waved her hand, and three individuals instantly moved to a cliff face. With powerful punches, they shattered the rock.
"Found you. Are you coming out, or do we co in?" Angel spoke in a language Wang Lan didn’t understand—it wasn’t any language he knew.
There was no response from the cave. Angel’s patience instantly wore thin. She waved her hand again, and her subordinates surged into the cave.
BOOM—
A loud explosion erupted from within. The subordinates who had rushed in were violently blasted out by the explosion’s aftershock. They rolled to Angel’s feet, charred black and clearly beyond saving.
"HMPH!" Star Power surged around Angel. Instantly, a pair of wings, seemingly cloaked in moonlight and captivatingly beautiful, unfurled behind her.
BOOM—
Suddenly, the cliff emitted a terrifying roar as a section tens of ters high burst open. A vase radiating light shot out from the cliff face, smashing forcefully towards Angel.
The Holy Grail? Wang Lan and his companions recognized the artifact instantly. The Holy Grail’s formidable power during the battle with the Hell Monarch was still fresh in their minds.
"How can the Holy Grail be here?" Xie Sisi asked, bewildered. "Isn’t the Holy Grail Yulia’s artifact?"
"That only proves the person in the cave is Yulia," Wang Lan declared. "Everyone, get ready! This ti, we must capture Angel. Since she’s co to Jade Country, she’s not leaving."
"Understood!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!— The Holy Grail relentlessly bombarded Angel, each impact causing space to tremble slightly. The Holy Grail possessed the Power of Space and was imbued with the power of Law. If Yulia weren’t so severely injured, Angel would stand no chance against her wielding the Holy Grail.
As the two were locked in fierce combat, a chorus of holy chants suddenly began. Angel was startled and, after a move to fend off the Holy Grail, she retreated explosively.
But sohow, the area was already surrounded by golden Swastikas forming murals that sealed off all escape routes.
"Diamond Seal, Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel," Wang Lan’s voice seed to descend from the clouds. Hearing this, Angel’s expression changed dramatically, fear flickering in her eyes.
Seeing Angel trapped, the Holy Grail pulsed with light more intensely, hamring at her ferociously. As the sealing power grew stronger, Angel’s perception beca increasingly sluggish and exhausted.
Angel panicked. Space around her distorted, but the Diamond Seal impaired her, rendering Space Movent ineffective. At this mont, Angel was like a bird trapped in a cage, her struggles futile.
Wang Lan flashed into the Diamond Seal. The Five-colored Phoenix Saint Cloth instantly enveloped him, and he activated his Phoenix form. Flas surged around him, and his figure swelled considerably.
"Inch Strength Fist, Triple Inch Strength!"
The Triple Inch Strength, when unleashed by Wang Lan in his Dragon Emperor Form, was his most powerful pure physical attack. This punch was unavoidable; Angel frantically summoned a Holy Light Shield.
However, before Wang Lan’s fist could connect, the Holy Grail had already brutally smashed into the Holy Light Shield. With a loud bang, the Holy Light Shield instantly shattered. The mont it shattered, Wang Lan closed the distance, his punch piercing through the fragnts to reach Angel.
BOOM—
His punch, carrying ripples of distorted space, ruthlessly struck Angel’s chest. Her body twisted in the spatial distortion like a reflection in water.
ARGH—
Suddenly, Angel wrenched open her mouth, spewing golden blood.
"Swastika, Judgnt of Light—"
Instantly, her Zanpakuto dispersed. The entire Diamond Seal was enveloped in light, a milky white glow resembling pure milk. A colossal Heavenly Sword, ford from converged light, appeared in the sky.
Angel, still reeling from Wang Lan’s punch, was struck by the Holy Sword descending upon her. Terrifying energy erupted, forcibly blowing the Diamond Seal apart.
AAAH— The shriek, like the piercing sumr cry of cicadas, made Wang Lan’s eardrums ache.
Wang Lan knew he had to press his advantage while Angel was vulnerable; he didn’t dare hesitate. Once a sequence of moves connected, it had to continue relentlessly until death. Instantly, a five-colored radiance blossod behind Wang Lan as a pair of Five-colored Phoenixes spread their wings and soared.
"lt, Blaze, Sear, Freeze, Heat, Storm, Explode..."
Wang Lan raised his hands, infusing various attributes into his Star Power, transforming it into a gigantic Energy Ball. He then continuously compressed it using Gathering Heart Power, compressing...
This was the Star Martial Skill Wang Lan had used to obliterate the Central Island of the Skeleton Sea. This ti, however, he infused even more Star Power and a more complex array of attributes.
"Go—"
The terrifying energy unleashed, transforming into a rotating beam of light that plumted downwards. Angel, barely clinging to life after the Judgnt of Light, struggled to lift her head. As she saw the deadly beam smashing down, a look of utter astonishnt crossed her face.
BOOM—
A horrifying explosion erupted. The ground surged like the surface of water struck by a colossal teorite.
"Retreat quickly—" Jiang Xinyu, carrying the unconscious Yulia, pulled Xu Xiangwen and the others as they frantically fled. Wang Lan’s finishing blow was comparable to a gaton-class nuclear explosion. Surrounding trees weren’t uprooted; they were instantly annihilated, turning to ash.
Wang Lan’s figure flashed, appearing beside Jiang Xinyu and the others. With another flash, he had transported them several kiloters away.
On the outskirts of the forest, Che Pure and the other Cloud Sea Tianjian Bureau experts stared blankly at the mushroom cloud billowing in the distance.
If not for the absence of a terrifying white light, Che Pure might have suspected an actual atomic bomb explosion.
"What kind of battle could cause such a massive commotion..."
"Director, the energy readings are in. It’s more than ten tis the power of the previous battle, and it’s a pure Star Power explosion. This was likely the impact of one or two Star Martial Skills colliding."
"Star Martial Skill... Is there really a Star Martial Skill with such power?" Che Pure asked chanically.
DING. Successfully killed Angel. Reward: 1,000,000 experience points, 100,000 skill points.
Truly fitting for you, Angel, to have thrown the whole world into chaos. Just killing you grants so much experience.
Wang Lan glanced at Yulia on Jiang Xinyu’s back and quickly tossed a Life Halo towards her. Suddenly, Wang Lan’s expression changed drastically, and he imdiately pulled out his cell phone.
Before Wang Lan could dial, his phone rang—it was Hua Jianfeng. A sense of foreboding struck Wang Lan as he answered.
"Wang Lan, there’s been an incident! Yulia stole the Xuan Yue Mask and defected!"
"What’s the damage to headquarters?"
"The damage isn’t too severe. Yulia claid to have deciphered the Divine Power of the Xuan Yue Mask, then snatched it. She broke through two S-rank independent squads and escaped. Wait... why are you so calm?"
"Because I just discovered that the Yulia we brought to headquarters was also an impostor. Or rather, she was another Angel."
"Another one?"
"Angel is a replicate of Yulia, but no one ever said there was only one Angel. Just now, here in Cloud Sea Province of Jade Country, I rescued another Yulia. She was being hunted by an Angel."
"Another Yulia? Are you sure she isn’t an Angel?"
"She has the Holy Grail, a divine artifact from God’s Country. Only the Pope or Saintess of the Heaven God Sect can be recognized by the Holy Grail, so I believe this one is genuine. However, Yulia is still unconscious. I’ve treated her, but we’ll need to wait until she awakens to get more information."
"Inform imdiately if there’s any new intelligence."
