Chapter 1117: The Captain
On the vast flying vessel above the Water Cold Star.
A handsome young master leisurely rested with his eyes closed, attended to by his female companions who gently massaged his shoulders, exuding confidence and ease as if he were in his own courtyard.
The Xiong father and son, severely injured, sat to the side, glaring coldly.
Watching the arrogant demeanor and the dismissive attitude in every gesture, they gritted their teeth in frustration but could do nothing.
Beside them, several Heaven-rank experts sneered.
"Where are your reinforcements?"
"Still no sign of anyone coming to save you. Could it be that you're so insignificant that your sect has abandoned you?"
"Hmph, in my opinion, they're just putting on a show. No one is coming to save them."
Amidst the mocking laughter, the faces of the Xiong father and son turned red.
They wanted to retort but lacked the confidence. The words of the experts struck a nerve, and with no response for so long, their hearts were filled with anxiety.
The father and son exchanged a glance, seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
Though they had full confidence in the Shadow Island, knowing these people were no match, they were just lowly workers. Was it worth it for Shadow Island to intervene?
By common reasoning.
In ordinary sects, if a lowly outer disciple were in trouble, they would likely be ignored. Such was the cruelty of a world where strength ruled.
Thinking this, the father and son slowly lowered their heads.
Listening to the incessant jeers, they gradually fell into silence.
Just as they lowered their heads.
The young master, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, gazing into the distant sky!
Noticing the anomaly, the experts also stopped laughing, following the young master's gaze. The flying vessel suddenly fell silent, the atmosphere turning slightly serious.
Feeling the unusual tension, the Xiong father and son slowly raised their eyes.
They saw!
Seven streaks of light shot through the sky!
In an instant, seven figures landed before the flying vessel, exuding extraordinary power, with the force of the Great Dao intertwining and dispersing, causing even the ice beneath their feet to tremble and rumble!
Seeing the familiar figures, the father and son's eyes trembled.
"Master Zheng, Master Liu…"
Their gazes fixed on the leader, their voices trembling with excitement!
"Even the Captain has come, everyone is here!"
"This!"
Despite their years of experience.
Xiong Fen never imagined that their plight would bring everyone to their rescue, even the usually stern and cold Captain!
Such overwhelming camaraderie, far beyond their status, was something they had never experienced before.
Moved, astonished, overjoyed…
Their spirits, which had nearly hit rock bottom, soared to new heights!
Like the dawn breaking over the world!
The father and son clenched their fists, overwhelmed with emotions. Their pride in Shadow Island surged, along with a deeper sense of belonging!
They were just ordinary workers, yet everyone had come to their rescue, even the Captain himself.
Such camaraderie was true kinship!
Not by blood, but stronger than brothers!
Instantly.
The Xiong father and son straightened their backs!
Even captured, they remained spirited, enduring all humiliation and pain, determined not to disgrace Shadow Island!
Noticing the sudden change in demeanor and hearing the father and son's exclamations of joy.
The experts on the flying vessel were stunned.
This sudden confidence was unbelievable, something they had never seen before, instinctively making them believe that the newcomers must be of extraordinary status.
Looking again, the seven figures exuded remarkable cultivation, adorned with various treasures. The Heaven-rank experts also grew serious, their eyes showing more respect.
Even they could see clearly, and the young master on the main seat naturally understood at a glance.
The Captain…
Muttering the extraordinary title, the young master smiled, his gaze sweeping over the workers' uniforms and hard hats, finally resting on the team leader.
Seeing the extraordinary luster of the leather gloves, a hint of greed finally flashed in his eyes.
Leaning on the armrest, he spoke condescendingly.
"You, are the reliance of these two trash, right?"
Hearing this, the team leader frowned, stepping forward with a furious glare!
"Release them at once!"
A simple step, yet it unleashed an overwhelming force of the Great Dao, causing the ice for miles to tremble, even the flying vessel shook slightly!
On the flying vessel, the experts' expressions grew even more serious.
Seeing the team leader's true power for the first time, the Xiong father and son were also wide-eyed with shock!
Even the usually indifferent young master.
Finally, a trace of laziness faded from his eyes, replaced by a hint of admiration.
"Oh?"
"Heaven-rank third grade, quite interesting."
The words made the Xiong father and son's hearts clench, immense joy appearing on their faces!
The team leader was actually a third-grade expert.
This truth was even more formidable than they had imagined. The strength of their team was comparable to a domain's top sect, capable of sweeping across a region!
Now, with the Captain personally leading and the masonry masters assisting, victory was assured!
The Xiong father and son were filled with excitement, pride overflowing from their hearts.
They instinctively looked back, almost anticipating the young master's nervousness, thinking this ignorant playboy had finally seen that there were levels beyond his own!
But when they turned, they saw the young master still calm.
The only difference was a more pronounced smile in his eyes.
That calm demeanor, as if a third-grade expert was just a slightly stronger ant to him, his confidence and arrogance were astonishing!
How could this be…
The Xiong father and son were stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The young master slowly spoke, his hands resting on the jade armrests.
"Go."
With a soft command.
Over a dozen Heaven-rank experts instantly landed on the ice!
The two leaders held glowing lights in their hands.
The light formed the shape of swords, the glow dissipating to reveal cold blades, exuding a chill far surpassing the ice, the force of the Great Dao intertwined like brocade, instilling fear at a glance!
Before any moves were made, the Great Dao forces of both sides clashed and rubbed against each other, ripples echoing between them, almost creating visible cracks in the void!
"Heaven-rank third grade, peak level…"
The team leader's eyes turned serious, his fists raised in front of him!
With a deep voice.
The masonry masters behind him all changed expressions, and the Xiong father and son on the flying vessel also tensed up!
Most of these experts were actually Heaven-rank third grade!
No wonder they had been so confident, they had such strength!
Unimaginable.
What kind of force was this, to have such experts as followers? The young master's identity was truly terrifying, instantly shocking the Xiong father and son.
The outcome suddenly became unpredictable.
As they watched in shock, the experts from both sides unleashed their cultivation, and in an instant, sword lights flashed, ice layers shattered!
The two leading experts charged with their swords, like dragons and snakes, their sword rays like rainbows, even the force of the Great Dao could not withstand them, reaching the team leader in a blink!
Attacking from both sides, the sword rays formed a net, easily shredding the Great Dao force, their terrifying cultivation forcing the masonry masters to retreat. Even if they wanted to help, they were powerless!
The team leader raised his fists, relying on his gloves to block continuously. Facing the dual attack, he managed to hold his ground!
For a moment, fists and sword rays intertwined on the ice.
Shocks erupted, explosions roared!
Sword rays were forcefully countered by fist energy, and the team leader remained unscathed.
The women on the flying vessel looked horrified, and the seated young master's eyes gleamed with desire!
Treasures!
Those gloves and his clothing were all extraordinary treasures!
The handsome young master urgently ordered, unable to hide his eagerness!
"Finish it quickly!"
With the urgent command, the two experts became even more ferocious, their attacks coming in waves. The surrounding experts also joined in, surrounding the masonry masters.
In an instant, the Great Dao force in front of the flying vessel became chaotic, the surrounding snow collapsing like rivers!
Though the team leader had his construction gear.
Unfortunately, his cultivation was slightly inferior. Two fists could not match four hands, and as his Great Dao force depleted, he gradually fell into a disadvantage. Glancing at the injured masonry masters, he was distracted and made a mistake, leading to his capture!
With his defeat, the other six team members were also subdued.
The ice field was riddled with cracks, the aftermath of the fierce battle ending in defeat.
Watching as all seven were captured and brought onto the flying vessel.
The Xiong father and son were filled with shock, despair, and unwillingness on their faces.
