CHAPTER 420: CHAPTER 420: HOSE’S MOMENT TO PERFORM

"The next strike won’t be so lucky for you," Ye Wudi huffed coldly and stabbed towards Su Hongtian again.

Right now was a critical moment for Xiao Zhan, and he definitely needed to hold Su Hongtian back.

Seeing this, Su Hongtian instantly understood that this was a ruse by Ye Wudi to draw the tiger away from the mountain.

But it was an open strategy.

And Su Hongtian was powerless to change it.

Not to mention that Ye Wudi was also a Seventh Grade Sovereign, and in their exchange of blows, he could not afford a shred of negligence, or it would be one misstep leading to total defeat.

Moreover, he didn’t want to lure Ye Wudi into battling above the Su Family estate.

Because a fight between Seventh Grade Sovereigns possessed tremendous destructive power –even the aftermath of their dual could easily destroy the structures of the Su Family estate.

Of course, these things were insignificant, as destroyed property could simply be rebuilt.

The key point was that, at this moment, nearly all the Su Family descendants were gathered within the estate, and just a single Sword Qi passing by would mean certain death for them.

If several more strikes were to come down, it was feared that all Su Family descendants would perish here.

Seventh Grade Sovereign.

One could hold the fort alone.

This wasn’t an empty boast.

Therefore, whether objectively or subjectively, Su Hongtian couldn’t return to the Su Family estate.

Suppressing that ominous premonition in his heart.

The Su Family estate was equipped with the finest defensive technology within the Longxia Federation and the strongest offensive weapons –all of these were constructed with a hefty price by him for the exact purpose of defending against a situation like today.

Thus, he believed that even without his intervention, the Su Family could withstand that powerful attack.

He could feel that the attack, no matter how strong, was not unleashed by a Seventh Grade Spirit Master.

Below Seventh Grade.

He had absolute confidence in the defenses of the Su Family.

But what he didn’t know was that at this very moment, his much-prided defensive system had already been hijacked, reduced to mere decoration.

Even the weapons meant to deter foreign enemies had turned their barrels and were now targeting his own kin.

"Fire in the hole!"

Hose watched Xiao Zhan’s Death Flame Phoenix Descent and yelled excitedly!

He wanted to fire before the Death Flame Phoenix descended because only by doing this could he inflict maximum damage on the Su Family members.

Otherwise, once the Death Flame Phoenix descended, it would destroy those weapons.

And those weapons would become useless.

Boom boom boom!

Bang bang bang!

Muzzle flashes ignited, releasing fireworks in a spectacular fashion!

Blooming amidst slaughter like flowers before dawn!

"I’ve got two guns, one goes ’da da da’, the other goes ’ha ha ha’!"

The thrill of blood-lust spread throughout Hose’s body, and he couldn’t help but roar with excitement.

No man could resist the madness of machinery.

Hose was over fifty this year, yet at this moment he was as excited as a young man.

Who says only tepid water can boil a general’s dreams, or that reality can cool the blood of youth?

As long as you pick up a stick in hand, you are still the uncrowned king of the village, and all of the rapeseed flowers will bow before you!

What’s more.

What you’re holding isn’t a stick, nor a gun, but a cannon hotter than any chick.

So, vent to your heart’s content.

Listen to the song of death!

"What’s going on? Why isn’t the defense system working? Why are the weapons attacking us!"

A member of the Su Family in charge of operating the weapons screamed in despair.

Just a second ago, he could control the weapons, so how did they malfunction in the blink of an eye?

Malfunction was one thing, but why were the cannons turned toward themselves?

"Boom!"

No one gave him the answer.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was instantly blasted to bits by a cannon.

Flesh and blood smeared, turned into minced meat.

At the same time.

Other members of the Su Family were caught up in the same scenario.

The technological weapons they took pride in and relied upon for survival malfunctioned all at once.

They were panic-stricken and helpless, instantly losing their pillar of strength, and the roar of gunfire around their ears, as well as the Death Flame Phoenix that was about to annihilate them, shrouded them in the shadow of death in an instant.

They were breaking down and fleeing in panic!

"All those above Fifth Grade follow my command; join me in resisting this phoenix with all your might!"

"The rest scatter and break through; charge out and kill those motherf***ers."

"Weapons division, immediately hand over the weapons control to me; if you can’t get it back, bring your heads to me!"

A middle-aged man stood out during this critical moment.

He was Su Hongtian’s eldest son, Su Boyun, the future heir of the Su Family, with a strong mind, exceptional talent, and the powerful strength of a Sixth Grade!

His words immediately took effect.

Su Family members of Fifth and Sixth Grade quickly gathered by his side, and together they conjured a golden protective shield that enveloped the Su Family villa.

But they chose to cover only the Su Family villa, not the entire estate.

Because they were very aware of their own strength; Xiao Zhan’s phoenix put an unprecedented pressure on them. A slight oversight could lead to their doom.

They knew that if they tried to cover the entire estate with the shield, it definitely would not hold.

So it was better to protect the core Su Family villa instead; at this time, the core members of the Su Family were all inside the villa.

As the protective shield went up.

Other Su Family members of lesser strength were also breaking out towards the outside; of course, it was more of an escape than a breakout.

The folks from the weapons division were also frantically fighting for control of the weapons.

But their capabilities were clearly a far cry from Hose’s.

"Thinking of being a hero, huh? Acting all high and mighty at such a critical moment? Ever heard the saying that the nail that sticks out gets hammered down?"

Hose was multitasking.

While controlling the weapons, he was keeping an eye on every move of the Su Family through electronic devices.

Seeing Su Boyun trying to show off at such a critical time.

Wanting to shoulder the responsibility?

Hose sneered immediately, how could he possibly let him succeed in showing off at such a time?

He immediately controlled a cannon and fired directly at Su Boyun.

Right now, Su Boyun was fully focused on resisting the Death Flame Phoenix, knowing that a moment’s carelessness could lead to failure.

He wouldn’t expect to be targeted, much less that he would be sneak attacked by artillery; he couldn’t spare the attention for it.

Since the Su Family had so many cannons practically everywhere.

Even if he wanted to defend, he didn’t have the wherewithal.

So, with almost no defensive action taken, the cannon blast arrived right behind him.

The powerful energy exploded around his body!

Blasting him out like throwing a rock.

Screams were heard.

Blood and flesh fell from the sky.

But before he even hit the ground, another precise shot from an Energy Cannon struck his body still in mid-air.

With a bang.

Su Boyun’s body was directly blasted into minced meat.

"Nice shot! A beautiful mid-air relay!"

Hose was delighted, clenching his fist in celebration.

Like a soccer player who just scored a goal!

He couldn’t help cheering.

Looking at Su Boyun’s body, he felt a surge of excitement; just two cannon shots eliminated a Sixth Grade Spirit Master, that feeling was truly freaking awesome.
