Chapter 478: Second Time

Chapter 478: Second Time

“Teacher War Tiger!” Gao Yang was overjoyed. Since there was no one but those he trusted around, he didn’t have to act distant.

Thank God, he made it.

When Gao Yang and Qing Ling chased Xing Kong to the top of the mountain, he had guessed that a difficult fight was inevitable. Thus, he crushed the button on his collar immediately, but to his surprise, the one who showed up first wasn’t a member of Team Heavenbreaker, but War Tiger.

He immediately reminded War Tiger, “Kill Astronaut first! She can release poison!”

War Tiger, with his wealth of experience, looked at the figure in a spacesuit not far away and immediately put two and two together.

He smirked derisively. Although he was an assassin looked down on by fighters, it didn’t stop him from looking down on the even more insidious poisoner.

In two seconds, he rushed to Blood Amber.

She didn’t move at all. The moment War Tiger’s eyes locked on her, she knew she would die.

There was no running away.

She might as well embrace death openly, and things would end more quickly. She could even picture the devices sustaining her life getting cut along with her head, which smelled of decay and medicine.

But when War Tiger’s blade actually swung toward her, it ended up going through her without inflicting damage, like he had cut through an illusion.

At some point, an elegantly-dressed older gentleman had shown up behind Blood Amber, his left hand resting on Blood Amber’s shoulder.

Both of them had turned into translucent spirits without physical form.

“They’re invincible in that state, but they can’t attack us either.” Gao Yang recognized Edmond and warned War Tiger.

“Seriously? That’s a foul move!” War Tiger had been around for quite a long time, yet he was stunned by the strange Talent.

Then Madam Wu quietly lifted Xing Kong, who was dying with his left arm lost, and ran toward Edmond, reaching out quickly.

Edmond took her hand with his other hand.

Instantly, Madam Wu and the man she was carrying on her shoulder both became unreachable as well.

“Hey!” War Tiger widened his mouth with childish ire. “That’s cheating!”

“Yeah yeah yeah.” War Tiger picked at his ear with his pinky. He knew he wouldn’t get more answers out of the man. “Whatever you say. I can’t kill you anyway.”

“Then we’ll take our leave.”

“Piss off.”

Edmond held onto Madam Wu’s and Blood Amber’s hands. They turned around in a cautious, awkward way before walking away in unison. Soon, their translucent figure moved through the dense forest until they disappeared entirely.

War Tiger sheathed his blade and turned to look at Gao Yang, his father, and Qing Ling.

“Little Yang Yang, this is...”

“My dad,” Gao Yang said weakly. “He just awakened with Absolute Defense.”

“Haha!” War Tiger was happy. “Like son, like father!”

Gao Shou was confused. There were so many questions in his head, but he didn’t want the answers now; all he cared about was the safety of his son and his daughter-in-law.

“You alright, Son? I think you got poisoned...”

“Don’t worry.” War Tiger smiled. “The clerics will be here soon.”

“Clerics?” Gao Shou was befuddled.

“The medics,” Gao Yang explained in a way his father would understand.

“Oh, right.” His father had played Red Alert before, so he got what that meant.

“Aghhhh—”

A familiar scream resounded from the forest. They looked up to see White Rabbit jumping amid the trees while grabbing onto Fat Jun’s hand. Soon, they were right before them. Level 6 Jump granted formidable speed.

As soon as White Rabbit let go of Fat Jun, he collapsed to his knees and threw up. It felt like he had gotten on a rollercoaster ride ten times in a row; all his internal organs were a mess.

Ignoring Fat Jun, White Rabbit strode up to them quickly and spotted Gao Yang at first glance.

She paused before breaking into a sweet smile brimming with schadenfreude. “Oh, isn’t it Elder Seven Shadow? It’s only been a few days. How did you become such a loser already?”
