Chapter 1756: The Figure in the Lightning

Crack—!!

The sudden lightning caught the leader off guard. He didn't even see what happened, but his right hand was suddenly knocked away as if hit by a domain train, followed by a sharp, burning pain!

Fine electric arcs dissipated in the air. The three stood there, stunned, looking at the leader's charred, smoking arm.

The next second, a painful howl finally erupted from the leader's mouth!

Between the dissipating fragments of the electric arc, a human silhouette was vaguely outlined. If one looked closely, one could see a figure wearing a duckbill cap, wrapped in electric light, standing next to the leader's charred hand...

But perhaps because the electric arc existed for too short a time, his figure appeared for only an instant before vanishing without a trace. The process was so fast that everyone thought their eyes had played tricks on them.

After all, how could there be a person in the lightning?

The lightning strike, combined with that fleeting figure, distracted the three for a moment. By the time they regained their senses, the roaring Li Shangfeng had already charged in front of them!

Li Shangfeng's eyes were bloodshot. He seemed to have finally seized the opportunity and used his arm, full of mechanical fragments, to smash fiercely into the leader's body!

Bang—!!

Sharp fragments cut through flesh and blood. Under Li Shangfeng's furious blow, the leader's figure flew backward, spraying blood!

"Boss!" the second one shouted and immediately rushed toward the bloody figure.

"Where did that lightning come from?!"

The third one was also dumbfounded, but he immediately focused his gaze on Li Shangfeng. The latter had already turned around and was swinging a fist toward his face!

The third one looked at the dense fragments of parts, his mouth twitching slightly. If he were hit by this "tetanus punch," even if he didn't die, he'd probably be a facial paralytic for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, those broken purple leaves flew over again, wrapping around Li Shangfeng's limbs from behind before he could swing his fist, forcibly pinning him in place again!

"...Fuck!!"

The leader clutched the bloody hole in his shoulder and staggered to his feet. Shreds of flesh kept sliding from his fingertips, the intense pain making his face look incredibly hideous.

"Am I seeing things... was there someone in the lightning just now?" the leader asked, bewildered.

"Impossible, how could there be someone in the lightning?" The second one shook his head and pointed to the power generation equipment not far away. "It must be that we knocked out the maintenance workers, the equipment malfunctioned, and it started leaking electricity."

The leader followed his gaze and saw that, sure enough, a large amount of electric arcs were crawling over the massive power generation equipment.

"Damn it, what kind of luck is this?!" the leader said, extremely annoyed.

If their original hideout hadn't been occupied, they wouldn't have been running around like headless chickens, ending up in this crappy power plant... Who would have thought this power plant would happen to malfunction, and the leaking electricity would happen to hit him? Who could be unluckier than them?

The third one stared fixedly at the restrained Li Shangfeng, a look of cruelty climbing into his eyes again!

"I was planning to let you go... but you just had to seek your own death!"

"Then I'll cripple your hands and see how you..."

Crack—!!

Before the third one could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning streaked out from the power generation equipment again!

The purple leaves that were originally wrapped around Li Shangfeng were struck by this lightning, instantly turning charred and brittle, snapping in the middle!

The shattered electric arc once again outlined a blurry figure in the void. It was a boy carrying a drawing board, standing straight and tall to protect Li Shangfeng, his lips opening...

"What are you waiting for! Heart!!!"

The Jack of Clubs' shout did not ring out in the air.

But as his voice fell, a figure had already tacitly broken through the electric arc from behind him, swinging a gruesome, shattered arm, and roaring as he smashed it into the third one's cheek!!

"Go to hell!!!"

Bang—!!

Blood splattered once again. The third one's face was instantly cut into a bloody mess, and he fell backward in a sorry state, hitting the ground.

Seeing that the third one had also been knocked down, the anger in the leader's eyes grew even more intense. He didn't know what was going on with this crappy power plant, but he absolutely could not tolerate this useless Tier 2 provoking them.

At the same time, the blood-stained sack that had been silent for a long time began to shake again!

The flying fragments of parts had already cut a small hole in the sack. A pair of a girl's hands reached out from inside, struggling to widen the gap, and a figure in a school uniform crawled out with difficulty...

Li Wanhua didn't have any wounds on her head or body, but there was a clear dislocation in her thigh, and blood flowed from the wound, staining her school uniform black. The third one's club strike earlier had luckily not hit her vital spot; she had just fainted instantly from the intense pain.

Li Wanhua's face was deathly pale. While crawling on the ground, she gritted her teeth and looked around...

When she saw the charred figure not far away, she was stunned.

"...Brother!!!"

She exclaimed.

Li Shangfeng heard the call and looked in this direction. Seeing that his sister was still alive, a flash of joy appeared in his eyes!

"Third, don't let this woman run away!!" the leader roared, a gust of wind exploding from his body. The aura of the Tier 4 Strength God Path climbed steadily, and the distorted air converged into a giant behind him, staring fixedly at Li Shangfeng.

He took a step forward, his figure like an unstoppable cannonball, charging straight at Li Shangfeng's face with the air giant!

At the same time,

The third one, lying on the ground, struggled to raise his hand, and several purple leaves pierced toward the crawling Li Wanhua like sharp blades...

"Wanhua——!!!"

In Li Shangfeng's pupils, Li Wanhua's terrified expression was clearly reflected. His eyes widened, and anger, unwillingness, despair, and guilt surged into his heart. At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind.

Save Li Wanhua!

Whoever led him here, whoever controlled the lightning to help him escape... whoever was secretly protecting them siblings, Li Shangfeng prayed in his heart for them to strike one more time...

Li Shangfeng didn't know what else he could offer; he seemed to have nothing left.

But...

This time, no matter what, he didn't want to lose!!

He suddenly opened his mouth and, using his last bit of strength, roared two words:

"—Help me!!!"

Crack—!!!

The moment Li Shangfeng's voice fell.

Dozens of thick bolts of lightning, like a thunderstorm piercing through the past and future, surged wildly from behind Li Shangfeng, striking the three in front with precision...

In an instant, the brilliant thunder light was so bright that Li Shangfeng couldn't open his eyes, and the ear-piercing roar made his eardrums ache!

A sea of lightning, almost solidified, surged in the void. Between the wandering and dissipating electric arcs, blurry figures were outlined in Li Shangfeng's pupils!

It was a group of tall and mysterious figures, standing like guardian gods amidst the thunder light, shielding the siblings Li Shangfeng and Li Wanhua behind them... and then, they looked back silently;

I don't know if it was Li Shangfeng's illusion...

These people...

Were they smiling?
