The explosion rocked the airborne building.
The Chief Political Officer roared furiously, "You think blowing up the Pillar Bridge will let you take me down with you? I'm telling you, you're not releasing those things in the underground nest! Kill them!"
He'd directed those last words at the Players beside him. As soon as he finished speaking, two of them charged at Lang Lang and Xin Hui. Xin Hui shoved Lang Lang behind her, but a chain-like item whipped into her from the front and sent her flying. The chain lashed toward Lang Lang next. Xin Hui and 179, who was nearby, threw themselves in front of her without hesitation. At the same time, another Player flung a carpet-like object onto the ground, freezing all three of them in place as they huddled together!
The other people who'd been holding hostages had already been killed. It looked as though Lang Lang's group would be dealt with quickly, too. But before the chain could strike the three of them, someone suddenly appeared and caught it. The C-class item instantly crumbled to dust in his hand. At the same time, a cut appeared out of nowhere, slicing the Player who'd attacked from the side clean in two!
The corpse hit the ground, blood spilling out. Xu Huo stood in the pool of blood, smiling at the Players opposite him. "Picking on the weak and outnumbering your opponents—isn't that a little shameless?"
In the next instant, more than a dozen guns pointed at him in unison. Xu Huo's gaze darkened. He waved the Door of Severed Relations into place in front of him, then used the Bright Red Sword to cut through the floor ahead and behind him. The building floor, whose supporting metal he'd already destroyed with the Life Core, suddenly collapsed.
