Chapter 536: The Final Battle (2)

Chapter 536: The Final Battle (Part 2)

Against Yuan Kongye’s overwhelming power, everyone struggled desperately to hold their ground.

Even Zhang Yi’s Dimensional Gate couldn’t shield everyone.

However, this near-invincible ability, capable of blocking all physical attacks, at least ensured the safety of himself, Hua Hua, Liang Yue, and a few others.

“How the hell are we supposed to fight this?! She has too many abilities—we can’t even find a weakness!”

“Boss, let’s run!” Fatty Xu suggested.

“Run? Run where?”

Zhang Yi coldly stared at Yuan Kongye at the center of the storm.

“You think we can still escape at this point?”

If he were alone, escaping wouldn’t be an issue.

But with others to protect? Impossible.

He could react quickly enough for spatial teleportation, but they couldn’t.

Even the slightest delay would slow them down, and Yuan Kongye would catch them in an instant.

“There’s only one option—fight! If we win, Tianhai City will finally know peace!”

“If we lose… well, we’ll worry about that then!”

Zhang Yi locked his gaze on Yuan Kongye, his Divine Power gathering in his right eye.

Sensing the energy, Yuan Kongye’s figure suddenly became illusory, as if countless afterimages overlapped, making it impossible for Zhang Yi to lock onto her position.

But numbers were their advantage.

As Baili Changqing had pointed out, Yuan Kongye lacked combat experience.

Even with her overwhelming power, she had gaps.

Now that Zhang Yi’s Divine Power forced her to stay cautious, she couldn’t fully focus on the others—leaving her open to side attacks.

Xing Tian amplified his ability to its maximum, boosting everyone’s power.

Qi Guangming raised his sniper rifle, his Origin Bullet aimed at Yuan Kongye’s head, forcing her to feel a sliver of pressure.

She wasn’t afraid of Qi Guangming, but taking a hit from the Origin Bullet was something she preferred to avoid.

Baili Changqing, gripping his knight’s lance, searched carefully for a killing strike opportunity.

Despite his monstrous defense, if he took another direct hit from Annihilation, he might not survive.

“You dare to resist me? You think you even have a chance?”

Yuan Kongye’s cold voice echoed from above.

With a wave of her hands, an even more terrifying storm surged outward, aimed directly at Zhang Yi and Qi Guangming!

Zhang Yi sensed it immediately and activated his Dimensional Gate, teleporting everyone away just in time.

The instant they vanished, their previous position was obliterated by a hailstorm of debris!

But Qi Guangming wasn’t as lucky.

Unlike Zhang Yi, he had no way to teleport away.

Yuan Kongye’s power engulfed him from every direction.

Above him, a towering black cyclone over a hundred meters high loomed, sealing off all escape routes!

He was trapped.

Like a god toying with a mortal, Yuan Kongye played with his life at will.

“BREAK!”

Just as Qi Guangming felt utterly helpless, a familiar voice roared from beside him.

A massive knight’s lance tore through the storm, ripping open a gap!

Baili Changqing, clad in black combat gear, charged into the storm.

He grabbed Qi Guangming, tucked him under one arm, and sprinted through the chaos!

“Oh? Impressive defense.”

Yuan Kongye smirked.

She recognized him—the vice-captain of the investigation team, a top-tier enhancement-type superhuman.

“But how long can you withstand my attacks?”

Within a three-kilometer radius, everything was under her control.

Her energy felt limitless, her attacks relentless.

“Divine Power!”

Zhang Yi struck again!

Yuan Kongye, entirely focused on him, immediately countered with Annihilation.

He was the greatest threat—the only one with an ability capable of instantly killing her!

Two blinding forces clashed in midair, erupting into a surge of energy before canceling each other out.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath and spoke rapidly to Liang Yue and the others.

“Get out of here! This fight is already beyond your level!”

Against a superhuman of Yuan Kongye’s caliber, sheer numbers meant nothing.

At this stage, only a few of them could truly affect the battle.

The rest were just easy targets, liabilities that distracted the team.

Zhang Yi ordered Hua Hua to evacuate the others immediately.

Even Liang Yue—one of the best close-combatants—wouldn’t be able to contribute much at this point.

“But—”

Liang Yue tried to argue, but the look in Zhang Yi’s eyes made her stop.

There was no time for debate.

His expression was cold, terrifyingly serious—there was no room for negotiation.

Liang Yue felt a chill from his stare.

But she quickly understood.

Her presence wouldn’t help Zhang Yi—it might even interfere with his spatial movement.

“…Alright, we’re leaving!”

She jumped onto Hua Hua’s back.

Uncle You and Fatty Xu glanced at Zhang Yi.

“Be careful!”

Then, the three of them, along with Hua Hua, fled into the distance.

The Final Team Remains

At the center of the battlefield, only Xiao Honglian, Wei Dinghai, Xing Tian, and a few elite members of the investigation team remained.

Yuan Kongye, suspended in midair, looked down upon them all.

With her telekinetic abilities, she controlled the battlefield from above, making direct combat nearly impossible.

Because of this, all enhancement-types—except Baili Changqing—moved to the backlines, providing support and protection for the attackers.

Meanwhile, support-type superhumans like Meng Siyu and Ye Jikang completely retreated from the battlefield.

Wu Di’s eyes burned with hatred.

Surrounded by his floating cannons, he unleashed a barrage of energy blasts, hammering toward Yuan Kongye like a violent thunderstorm!

At the same time, Xing Tian’s buff-enhancing abilities empowered the entire team.

Wei Dinghai’s Blizzard Storm and Xiao Honglian’s Flaming Dragon Strike poured down destruction, trying to divide Yuan Kongye’s attention.

But everyone knew the truth.

To defeat Yuan Kongye, Zhang Yi was the key.

Because only his ability could truly threaten her.

Even Wu Di, who always looked down on Zhang Yi, put aside his personal feelings.

Like a true investigation team elite, he gave his all to create the perfect attack opportunity for Zhang Yi.

Yuan Kongye's Growing Frustration

Despite facing over a dozen superhumans, Yuan Kongye felt irritated.

Their attacks were meaningless to her.

But she had to constantly guard against Zhang Yi.

Even the slightest gap in her defenses, even a single moment of carelessness, could allow his Divine Power to fatally wound her.
