Chapter 72: Floating in the Wind
"Your Excellency has great internal power! Please come in, everyone!" The factory's large gate slowly opened automatically.
The warriors present looked at each other, Du Mu Lei nodded slightly and followed Du Mu Xue into the room first. The other warriors hesitated for a moment before following them in.
Gao Tianming was just about to catch up when Wang Ziqiang pulled on his shoulder and said, "Tianming, something's not right. Let's be careful later and don't act rashly!"
Gao Tianming looked at Wang Ziqiang with some surprise, nodded and said, "Alright! We'll work together to take down a low-level ability user later, that should be fine. Let's go."
As I walked in, the layout of the factory was not as chaotic as I had imagined. In the center of the factory, there was even a wooden table with an old foreigner with a hawk nose sitting on it, holding a teapot and pouring tea into cups on the table.
The old man sniffed his nose and sighed, "Good tea! To drink tea, one still needs to come to China. Two friends, may I ask if you can sit down together for a cup?" The old man's gaze fell on Tanmu Lei and Tanmu Xuehua, the two brothers, while it seemed that only they had this qualification in the whole scene.
Du Mu Lei chuckled and exchanged a glance with Du Mu Xuehua, before the two of them walked straight to the table. "Delighted! We people of Huaxia have always welcomed kind intentions, but if you come here with malicious intent, then that's a different story!" Du Mu Lei's face was still full of smiles at first, but by the end his expression had turned stern.
"Haha!" The old man seemed to have not heard the threatening tone in Du Mu Lei's words, and laughed: "How can we distinguish between good intentions and bad intentions? From different perspectives, perhaps my good intentions would become bad intentions in your eyes! Oh, right, I'm Heber Calvert."
"Hebrew Celt?" Tongmu Lei felt that the name was somewhat familiar, and after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly looked up and said: "You are the Sacred Fire!"
Those who heard the Sacred Flame, the warriors present were suddenly startled, as if this name made them feel a sense of astonishment.
The prince who was standing behind him suddenly let out a soft breath, "I didn't think it would be him."
"Who is he?" Gao Tianming felt a bit puzzled, looking at the expressions of the people present, it seemed that this person should be very famous. "Zi Qiang, is that Sacred Fire guy very powerful?"
The prince furrowed his brow and shook his head, saying: "Saying he's very powerful is an exaggeration, but he did rise to fame at a young age. Many years ago, he was already a 2nd-level super ability user, and many people in the circle first heard of him when he annihilated an entire European noble family over a small matter. The incident sparked a lot of controversy in Europe's ability community back then, but since the victims were ordinary people and he was already a highly promising master on his way to becoming a 3rd-level super ability user, the matter was eventually dropped."
"Could he already be a 3rd rank ability user now?" Gao Tianming asked with some surprise. To think that a 3rd rank ability was equivalent to a postnatal sixth-order expert, able to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish oneself and attack others. Moreover, although a postnatal sixth-order expert and a 3rd rank ability user might be evenly matched in a one-on-one battle, when it came to dealing with people below their own level, a 3rd rank ability user was absolutely unbeatable, able to take down a large group with just one sweep of their hand.
"Haha! That's not the case. If he were a 3rd-level ability user now, we would have run away long ago, why would we still be here?" Wang Ziqing laughed.
"Is he stuck in that bottleneck and can't get through?" Ga Tianming looked at the sixty or seventy-year-old Hebrew with some incredulity.
Looking at Gao Tianming's expression, Wang Ziqiang said with some helplessness: "Do you think it's that easy to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? How many people are stuck in this position for their entire lives. But that person was indeed stuck in this position for a bit longer, you know that when he was over 40 years old, he had already reached his current level, at that time he was so spirited and vigorous, a fire-type ability user who advanced to the third level, that power is really terrifying."
"Fire-type Esper?" Ga Tianming looked at Ming, who was chatting with someone on the other side with a carefree expression, and felt somewhat incredulous. "Isn't it said that Fire-type Espers are affected by their internal energy, so they're usually more hot-headed?"
The prince nodded solemnly, "Yes. And this is also what I'm worried about. In recent years, his figure has rarely appeared, and some people even thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, he actually cultivated himself, started to suppress his temper, and may be trying to collect fire system energy in this way to achieve the final breakthrough!"
"Boom!"
A loud explosion interrupted their conversation.
The elm table in the center of the field had completely disappeared, and Duanmu brothers were now facing off against Ming. Gao Tianming looked at Duanmu Lei with some concern. Earlier, he seemed to have exchanged a palm strike with Xi Bo, his right hand was now held behind his back, and his meaty palm was already bright red!
Heber was still smiling, as if nothing had happened just now, but behind him a red glow burst out, and the temperature around began to rise.
A piece of leaf on the ground caught Gao Tianming's attention, and this piece of leaf seemed to have been brought in by the crowd just now. At this time, the leaf body had already begun to curl up, and the leaf tip even began to emit sparks.
Gao Tianming looked around the entire arena and saw that there were about 20 martial artists on their side, while the opposing side had only about 10 ability users, just enough for a 2-on-1 fight.
Gao Tianming used his elbow to nudge Wang Ziqing and whispered, "Ziqing, your eyes are more accurate, you choose one, we'll go up and gang up on him."
The prince smiled slightly and nodded slightly.
"Bang!"
A scorching gust of wind swept wildly in all directions, and Gaotianming's clothes fluttered loudly. Duanmu brothers had already started fighting with Xihebai.
"Everybody up! Take advantage of it now!" The master who was practicing iron sand palm suddenly shouted.
"Good!"
"Kill!"
Kōtenmei followed ōji Kizuna to a corner of the battlefield farthest from the center, where a foreign man in his 30s stood with gray dust swirling around him. His name was Gale Wells, a Wind-type Ability User.
As Gail Wells saw Gaotian Ming and Wang Ziqing rushing over, he didn't show any tension at all. His wrists rotated elegantly in a circle, and two crescent-shaped transparent objects appeared on his hands. He slightly raised his palms, aiming at Gaotian Ming and Wang Ziqing.
"Beware, it's Wind Blade!" Prince Wang Qiong hastily shouted.
"Hiss"
Two sharp and piercing sounds came, Gao Tianming took a step to the left, the wind blade grazed his ear and flew past, several strands of hair floated down.
Gao Tianming's eyes locked onto him, his feet flashed with purple light, and he appeared in front of Gail, his right fist striking towards the latter's abdomen.
Gale seemed slightly surprised at Gao Tianming's speed, and smiled faintly. He took a light step forward with his right foot, and his entire body floated backward as if weightless. Gao Tianming followed closely behind, his fists never leaving Gale's abdomen, but there was always a distance of 10 centimeters that he couldn't bridge.
"Willow Silk Body Technique!" A shout of surprise escaped from Prince Wang Qiong's mouth behind him.
