Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 52 Attack

After lunch and a short rest, around 4 p.m., when the midday heat had dissipated considerably, the fully armed Phantom Squad of six left the supply base.

At the same time, a black-clad figure also followed Yang Wu and the others away.

Yang Wu and his group continued along the highway, occasionally encountering some foolish beast-soldier level monsters, which were quickly shot down by Lu Qing's arrows.

After walking for several hours, it gradually got dark and night began to fall.

As night falls, a waning moon hangs high in the sky, casting a faint moonlight upon the earth.

"Yang Wu, you've improved quite a bit!"

Zheng Tao sighed as he watched Yang Wu swiftly hunt down a low-level beast general-level monster.

In order to allow his teammates to gradually accept his strength, Yang Wu had actually suppressed most of his power, only displaying the strength of a mid-level warrior. However, unexpectedly, Zheng Tao, who had sharp eyes, still noticed it.

"Brother Zheng, I just got lucky. My experience is nowhere near as extensive as yours!"

Yang Wu said modestly.

"You two, stop chatting and be careful," Zhou Zheng said, then turned to Chu Tian and asked, "Captain, shouldn't we find somewhere to get something to eat?"

Although Yang Wu and the others were physically fit enough to walk all day without any problems, they still needed to replenish their energy regularly in order to maintain their condition.

Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, "There should be an abandoned service area up ahead. Let's go there and rest for a bit!"

"good!"

Monsters are relatively rare on the highway, and the group is about to reach a rest stop, making this the most relaxed time for the Phantom Squad.

"call."

A black figure darted silently from afar, arriving hundreds of meters away from the Phantom Squad in the blink of an eye. However, he was dressed in a black combat suit, making him difficult to spot in the night sky.

boom!

Once he was close enough to the Phantom Squad, the black figure, wielding two curved blades, stomped the ground and instantly reached a speed of 300 meters per second, shooting towards the Phantom Squad's location like an arrow released from a bow.

"Oh no, enemy attack!"

The first to spot the man in black was Captain Chu Tian.

Given the man in black's near-sonic burst speed, it would be very difficult for the Phantom Squad to detect him by sound.

It's Chu Tian's spiritual power!

While traveling, Chu Tian continuously released his mental energy to perceive everything around him, which was also his way of cultivating mental energy.

Just as the man in black rushed into the Phantom Squad's 300-meter range, Chu Tian's mental power immediately sensed a strange fluctuation.

While reminding his teammates, Chu Tian turned around instantly.

But when he saw the terrifying speed of the man in black, his expression changed drastically.

Chu Tian immediately shouted, "This is bad! It's a War God-level expert! Quickly call for help!"

Immediately, Chu Tian focused his mental energy on the alloy combat boots beneath his feet, and his entire body leaped into the air. At the same time, eight throwing knives flashed with a few cold glints in the night sky, instantly breaking the speed of sound and hurtling through the air with a slight sonic boom, fiercely stabbing towards the figure not far away.

Although the Phantom Squad was strong enough to face a God of War level expert head-on, the opponent came prepared, so they dared not be careless.

So, the six members of the Phantom Squad quickly sprang into action.

After sending out her distress signal, Lu Qing quickly dodged in the opposite direction. As the gunner of the Phantom Squad, she could not allow herself to be in danger.

Zhou Zheng, Zheng Tao, and Wang Zhi stood back-to-back with Yang Wu, keeping watch for potential enemies from other directions, and then immediately sent out their distress signals.

At this moment, the black figure was less than 100 meters away from Yang Wu and the others, and Chu Tian's flying knife struck the black figure's vital points hard.

"I've been waiting for you!"

The black figure was indeed prepared; a flash of black light appeared on his face, and his entire face instantly turned pitch black.

Of the eight throwing knives Chu Tian fired, four struck the black-clad figure's face simultaneously, while the other four were aimed at his throat and heart.

However, the black figure only paused slightly before rushing towards Yang Wu and his companions again!

"It's the Black God Set! How is that possible?" Chu Tian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The man in black leaped into the air once more, rushing rapidly toward the location of Yang Wu and his companions.

"Run!" Chu Tian shouted, and then eight throwing knives flew over again.

However, this time Chu Tian attacked the man in black's legs. Knowing that he could not withstand the attack, Chu Tian could only try to slow down the man's speed.

However, how could a mere hundred meters possibly stop a warrior of the War God level?

Whoosh!

The man in black unleashed his full power, his speed increasing dramatically in an instant, and he was upon Yang Wu and his companions in a flash.

"Die!"

The other party grinned maliciously and slashed fiercely at Wang Zhi, one of the four!

Wang Zhi raised his shield to protect himself, but how could he, who had just broken through to the level of advanced warrior, withstand the attack of a war god?

Wang Zhi was in despair, and Zhou Zheng and the others were also filled with grief and indignation, desperately smashing their weapons at the black figure.

"200 billion RMB in hand!"

Seeing that Wang Zhi was about to be killed, the man in black smiled. As for the attacks from the others, he didn't care at all with the Black God Suit in hand.

But just then, Yang Wu, who had been watching the situation unfold, finally made his move.

The Broken Army Spear in his hand drew a strange arc, and even the shaft of the spear seemed to bend slightly, which showed how powerful this shot was.

"So fast!"

The man in black, who was in a good mood, was startled by Yang Wu's shot. He could no longer care about his mission objective and turned around to quickly swing the curved swords in his hands to defend himself.

Faced with this fierce shot, he had no confidence in catching it and was purely relying on instinct to defend himself.

Boom...

An unimaginable force was transmitted to him through the curved blade in the man in black's hand.

Even though he had tried to deflect the force, the terrifying power and rotational force contained in the tip of Yang Wu's Broken Army Spear were still too much for him to resist, and he was involuntarily shaken backward.

"What?"

The man in black was stunned, and for the first time, a look of surprise appeared on his face, which was covered by black skin.

He was a veteran novice war god. After he narrowly escaped death and obtained the Black God Set from the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, he was already fully capable of fighting against intermediate war gods.

The reason the legion's higher-ups chose him, who possesses the Black God Set, to carry out this mission was precisely because the Phantom Squad had a high-level warrior-level mentalist.

But now, even though he had already dealt with the most troublesome Chu Tian and was about to complete his mission and escape unscathed, he was stopped again.

"Who exactly is this person? Could this be a trap set for me?"

In that instant, the man in black thought of many things.

It's no wonder he was so suspicious. As a novice War God, the fact that he was able to obtain the Black God Set must have aroused the jealousy of countless people.

Some powerful warriors, even stronger than him, used both threats and inducements to try and get him to hand over the Black God Set.

Now that he sees a war god suddenly appear beside his target, how could he not overthink it?

But Yang Wu didn't give the man in black time to think.

Seeing that his opponent had been forced back, Yang Wu pressed his advantage and thrust out his second spear in the blink of an eye.

This shot was no longer meant to rescue Wang Zhi, so Yang Wu unleashed all his power.

A single, cold glint appeared in the darkness.

"Bang!"

Swift as lightning, the man in black had no time to stop him; the tip of the Breaking Army Spear pierced his throat in an instant.

Fortunately, protected by the Black God Suit, the man in black was not seriously injured, but was forced to retreat repeatedly by the power unleashed by Yang Wu.

"This, this..." The man in black stared at Yang Wu in disbelief.

Whether it was him or the rest of the Phantom Squad, they were all dumbfounded. Even Chu Tian, ​​who was in mid-air, forgot to attack.

In the night sky, everyone looked at Yang Wu in disbelief.

Seeing that he could not kill his opponent, Yang Wu temporarily gave up his attack.

For a moment, the scene was completely silent, as if time had stood still!
