Chapter 962: Chapter 757: Wrapping Up
Looking at the puddle of blood that Yuan Shan had become, Xu Hengjiang’s eyes were full of coldness. He retracted his bloody fist and, after slightly calming his emotions, turned around.
“I’m afraid I’ve made a joke of myself in front of Master Su and Mr. An,” Xu Hengjiang said.
Su Yuan replied, “Alliance Leader Xu is a man of character. It’s unnecessary to think too much; it was he who betrayed your feelings and trust.”
“Master Su, please don’t console me.” Xu Hengjiang shook his head with a sigh and then asked, “By the way, Cheng Hui, weren’t you all with Master Su on the island? How did you suddenly appear here again?”
Speaking of this, Jing Chenghui glanced at Su Yuan, marveling: “It was Master Su who used the Group Teleportation Technique to bring us over.”
“Group Teleportation?”
Su Yuan nodded and said, “I had placed a space mark in Storm City in advance. Upon receiving the signal from Antonios, I directly teleported everyone back together.”
Xu Hengjiang took a deep breath. A Space Star Card Master who could teleport so far and with so many people at once…
Whether it’s this teleportation technique or his personal Star Power, it’s truly terrifying!
Fortunately, such a person is a friend. If he were an enemy… suddenly teleporting with numerous experts for a surprise attack, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Thank you, Master Su… Ugh!”
Xu Hengjiang expressed his gratitude with a cupped fist but suddenly staggered, falling backward.
“Alliance Leader!” Jing Chenghui was shocked and hurriedly caught him, anxiously asking, “Master Su, Mr. An, what’s happening to the Alliance Leader?”
Antonios’ expression also tightened: “Earlier, to confront Del Mao, not only did he aggravate the poison, but he also suffered serious injuries.”
Su Yuan said, “Antonios, you should treat him immediately.”
Jing Chenghui suddenly remembered something, his face changing: “But the Jing Yilian are still with Tie Shi Captain and them…”
Su Yuan’s hand flashed, producing some more Jing Yilian.
“It’s okay, I still have some here.”
Antonios took the Jing Yilian, examined Xu Hengjiang, and couldn’t help but frown.
Jing Chenghui’s heart skipped a beat: “Mr. An, how is it?”
Antonios said solemnly, “Due to the high-intensity battle just now, his condition is very bad…
I need to give it my all, Boss, Branch Leader Jing, you may need to step back a bit.”
“Alright.” Su Yuan immediately stepped back a little.
“Then I’ll leave it to you, Mr. An. Please make sure to heal Alliance Leader Xu!” Jing Chenghui bowed deeply, then led two of his men to retreat with Su Yuan.
Antonios flipped his hand to take out a small silver knife, his eyes focusing: “Silver Kite!”
Silver light erupted, and a layer of silver spherical domain quickly expanded, completely isolating the external view.
Silver energy flowed in Antonios’ eyes as he focused intently on Xu Hengjiang’s body, seemingly able to see directly into the cellular structure!
And Antonios’ hands had entirely turned into a silver energy body, making a slight motion like a small knife, cutting Xu Hengjiang’s body bit by bit.
Amazingly, even though Xu Hengjiang’s flesh was being cut, no blood was spilling out at all!
Outside, Su Yuan appraised the silver domain before him.
“As expected, Antonios’ Power of Soul has also touched the Space systems.”
This silver domain, it’s the first time Su Yuan has seen it, and it should be the power formed by Antonios’ soul-power-infused knife.
In the past, Antonios likely couldn’t achieve this, indicating that he secretly made significant progress over the years.
With Su Yuan’s strength, he could completely use All-Knowing Vision to see inside, but Su Yuan didn’t do so.
Su Yuan is not someone with an excessively strong desire for control; everyone has their secrets, and of course, his subordinates can have theirs too.
No matter what secrets exist, as long as they ensure one thing, which is absolute loyalty to himself, that is enough.
Anything else, Su Yuan won’t pursue to the end.
As time passed, the intense battle sounds in Storm City gradually subsided.
Mo Fei’s figure flickered and appeared behind Su Yuan, silently standing guard like a guardian.
The members of the Storm Alliance also approached one by one, their gazes at Su Yuan and Mo Fei filled with a mix of surprise and doubt.
Su Yuan had just slain Del Mao, while Mo Fei demonstrated a near-unmatchable ferocity in the recent chase!
The Storm Alliance members offered a distant salute to Su Yuan, the Burning Sun Expert, before spontaneously maintaining a quiet vigil outside the silver domain, waiting for Xu Hengjiang’s return.
This battle cost the Storm Alliance dearly.
Of the experts that remained at the main base, only seven Radiant Moon Level remained alive, and even the Full Moon Level Guard Captain had fallen!
Dozens of Shining Star Level were killed or injured, and among the Lower Three Levels, hundreds were dead or wounded!
With Teng Jinghua and others keeping watch, as the “Chief of Internal Affairs,” Jing Chenghui arranged for personnel to handle the scene.
In this way, after a long time, the silver light domain suddenly shrank and disappeared.
Only to see Xu Hengjiang lying on the ground, still unconscious.
While Antonios’ face was pale, seemingly more exhausted spiritually than in Star Power.
The members of the Storm Alliance surged forward with great excitement. It was evident that Xu Hengjiang had earned their admiration.
Teng Jinghua shouted in a low voice, immediately silencing the chattering crowd.
Jing Chenghui quickly arrived and, seeing the situation, asked, “Mr. An, how is it looking?”
Antonios rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat powerless, and said, “The poison has been completely removed; there’s no longer any major issue. He just needs to rest well for a few days.”
“Good!” Everyone’s eyes were filled with joyful expressions.
With the Guard Captain dead, Teng Jinghua took responsibility for guarding Xu Hengjiang.
Jing Chenghui also began organizing personnel to restore order to the rebellious branches like Hengshui City…
After a night passed, Xu Hengjiang had already woken up.
Though his body was very weak after Antonios’s surgical treatment, Xu Hengjiang’s essence, qi, and spirit were exceptionally good.
At this moment, Jing Chenghui was next to them, reporting.
“So, it’s the Fierce Battle Gang and Sea King Gang collaborating to take the opportunity to annex other Sea Gangs?” Su Yuan listened to Jing Chenghui’s report, his eyes reflecting contemplation.
Along the coast of the Western Desert, there are six Burning Sun Level forces.
Fierce Battle Gang ranks first, with three Burning Sun experts within the gang. The Great Gang Leader, Yu Feng, is moreover a Chongyang Master, indisputably the largest gang along the coast, even comparable to first-class forces in the Central Region!
Sea King Gang ranks second. Its leader, Yang Qian, broke through to Chongyang two months ago, becoming the second Chongyang Master along the coast!
The Sea King Gang and Fierce Battle Gang are both in the northern coastal area. It was once thought that after Yang Qian’s breakthrough, he could stand against the Fierce Battle Gang in the north to balance the coastal situation.
Unexpectedly, these two forces have instead formed a secret collaboration, creating the “Northern Alliance.”
Jing Chenghui nodded and said, “Shuiyun Alliance has been suppressed by the leaders of the Fierce Battle Gang and Sea King Gang personally leading people there. The leader of Shuiyun Alliance has also been subdued.
And Rock Dragon Gang, in just one night, has been completely split between the Fierce Battle and Sea King Gangs.”
Xu Hengjiang said, “If it weren’t for you, Master Su, our Storm Alliance might have been swallowed up as well.
But now, not only did the Fierce Battle Gang fail to devour our Storm Alliance, but they lost their second-in-command at the Burning Sun Level and nearly thirty percent of their experts, weakening them instead!”
The quality of experts determines whether a force is strong.
Though they’ve rallied a large number of people, these newly surrendered ones are inherently ununited, and now they’ve also lost a Burning Sun expert.
For the Fierce Battle Gang, this is really not a profitable situation.
The demise of the Rock Dragon Gang was expected.
Because the leader of Rock Dragon Gang, Shen Hui, was killed by the Glazed Tree, Rock Dragon Gang had virtually no resistance left and was quickly swallowed up by the Sea King and Fierce Battle Gangs.
Without a Burning Sun Level to hold the seat, Rock Dragon Gang couldn’t resist the suppression from the two gangs.
Even if the Fierce Battle and Sea King Gangs didn’t take action, Rock Dragon Gang simply couldn’t hold onto their original resources.
Now, most people from Rock Dragon Gang have surrendered and joined the Sea King and Fierce Battle Gangs, with only a small portion having escaped…
In one night, the entire coastal area changed dramatically.
The Rock Dragon Gang was destroyed, the Shuiyun Alliance dissolved, leaving only the Huangqi Gang, which is closest to the Storm Alliance, aside from the Storm Alliance itself.
After the two discussed for a while, Xu Hengjiang suddenly spoke, “This time, it’s all thanks to you, Master Su, and your Qingming that we, the Storm Alliance, could avert this catastrophe. Such a great debt cannot go unpaid.”
Xu Hengjiang turned his hand to take out a wooden box and pushed it in front of Su Yuan.
“Our Storm Alliance has nothing good left to offer, so please take this as a token of our gratitude.”
Su Yuan slightly opened it, revealing an elixir adorned with a Sun Corona pattern—an unmistakable Sun Spirit Pill!
The Sun Spirit Pill can nearly increase the chances of breaking through to the Burning Sun by twenty percent. It is a treasure that all Full Moon Level individuals dream of.
Even if it’s only a ten percent increase, it would still make everyone envious.
Once reaching the Burning Sun Level, one’s lifespan increases significantly, and their strength is incomparable to previous levels!
In fact, this Sun Spirit Pill was intended for Jing Chenghui.
At this moment, looking at the Sun Spirit Pill, Jing Chenghui had a hint of regret and reluctance in his eyes, but he wasn’t overly attached to it.
Just as Xu Hengjiang said, without Su Yuan and the others, Xu Hengjiang and the Storm Alliance would have ceased to exist.
Yet, Su Yuan was keen enough to notice the hint of emotion in Jing Chenghui’s eyes.
Su Yuan glanced at the Sun Spirit Pill again, then closed the box and pushed it back.
Xu Hengjiang was shocked, “Master Su, what is this?”
Su Yuan replied, “Thank you for your gratitude, but there’s no need for this elixir.”
Both Xu Hengjiang and Jing Chenghui were greatly surprised, never expecting Su Yuan to refuse the Sun Spirit Pill.
Xu Hengjiang opened the alchemy box and said, “Master Su, this… this is the Sun Spirit Pill.”
Su Yuan smiled, “Alliance Leader Xu, I am an alchemist. Of course, I know this is a Sun Spirit Pill.”
“Ah, yes…” Xu Hengjiang immediately realized.
Primarily because Su Yuan’s actions were beyond common reasoning. Who would refuse a Sun Spirit Pill?
The Sun Spirit Pill is a superior elixir for advancing cultivation even at the Burning Sun Level.
Even if Su Yuan himself doesn’t need it, he has so many Full Moon masters under him!
As if knowing what Xu Hengjiang was thinking, Su Yuan smiled, “Compared to this elixir, our Qingming would prefer to foster a good relationship with the Storm Alliance.”
