Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 53 A flurry of activity

While the Phantom Squad and the man in black remained silent, all the martial arts squads within a 20-kilometer radius received distress signals from Zhou Zheng and his group.

On a dilapidated highway, a five-person team is cautiously advancing.

"Captain, red distress signal!" A young man looked at the signal coming from his communication watch and asked urgently.

"They're brothers from our Extreme Martial Arts Academy!" said the scarred-faced man who was leading the group. "They're not far away. Let's go check it out first, and help if we can!"

After the scarred man finished speaking, the five-person team immediately changed direction, increased their speed, and headed towards Yang Wu and the others.

……

Inside a dilapidated service area, two imposing martial artists are replenishing their food and water.

After receiving the distress signal, one of them asked, "Brother, it's a green signal, not from our Thunder Martial Arts School. Should we go check it out?"

"We've encountered a martial arts team in the wilderness asking for help. Let's go check it out and lend a hand if we can!"

"Okay, let's set off immediately!"

After saying that, the two packed their things and quickly headed towards Yang Wu and the others!

……

Meanwhile, at a military base hundreds of miles away, a middle-aged man's watch suddenly started vibrating.

"Oh no, it's Xiaoqing!"

The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically, and he immediately used his communication watch to determine Lu Qing's location.

"That far?"

Despite his inner turmoil, the middle-aged man remained calm and sent a distress message using his smartwatch, while also making a phone call.

"Hey Si Ling, can I borrow your fighter jet for a bit?"

……

On the other side, among Yang Wu and his group who had been silent for a moment, someone finally broke the deadlock.

"Who are you? Why are you targeting our Phantom Squad?" Yang Wu asked the man in black directly.

"Heh heh..." The man in black chuckled coldly as he surveyed his surroundings, preparing to retreat. "Why don't you take a guess?"

"What do you think about it guessing?" Yang Wu raised the broken army spear in his hand, secretly rejoicing.

After Yang Wu improved his strength, he wanted to change his equipment, but unfortunately he didn't have enough money. In the end, he could only replace his 6-series Po Jun Spear with a 9-series one.

It was precisely because of this that Yang Wu's weapon only suffered minor damage after colliding with the opponent's SS-level weapon, and was not immediately destroyed.

Seeing that the man in black remained silent, Yang Wu decided to take action immediately.

However, Chu Tian suddenly spoke up, saying, "Among the War God level experts with the strength of a beginner War God, only three possess the Black God Set, and as for those who use curved blades, only Fang Qing of the 'Demon-Drinking Blade' is among them!"

"War God Fang Qing, why are you making things difficult for our Phantom Squad?"

Actually, what Chu Tian wanted to know most at this moment was why Yang Wu had the strength to defeat Fang Qing. However, he also knew that things had priorities, so he suppressed his thoughts and revealed the identity of the man in black in one sentence!

"Hahaha..." the man in black laughed loudly, saying, "I'm not some Fang Qing!"

Unfortunately, although the man in black spoke normally, there was a slight change in his tone, which Yang Wu and the others noticed.

Meanwhile, nearby martial arts teams had already arrived at the scene after receiving the distress signal from the Phantom Squad.

"It's just ahead!"

"Captain, it seems to be the Phantom Squad, but we haven't found any monsters. There isn't a single monster corpse around them!"

"Are you stupid? The wilderness isn't just home to monsters! The Phantom Squad, including the new member, only has six people, but now there are seven in the field. That man in black is probably an enemy of the Phantom Squad!"

"Captain, the Phantom Squad is stronger than us. Even they've requested backup. We can't afford to act rashly!"

"Yes, Captain. Let's observe first!"

The fact that this martial arts team was able to arrive so quickly shows that they are definitely not weak, but they are still no match for the Phantom Team.

Now that they know the Phantom Squad's enemy isn't a monster, they naturally won't act rashly.

Seeing that a team of martial artists had appeared nearby, and Yang Wu was watching him intently from the side, Fang Qing, the man in black, knew that today's mission had completely failed.

"Damn intelligence! They didn't even bother to investigate the enemy's strength before issuing a mission!"

Fang Qing cursed inwardly, but he also knew that time did not allow him to delay any longer.

After all, there are members of the Phantom Squad who can persuade a War God-level expert to join them!

Whoosh!

Fang Qing moved, his speed exploding instantly as he fled westward.

There was an abandoned village not far in that direction. If he could escape there and take advantage of the darkness, he could leave safely.

"Damn it, it's a War God-level martial artist! Luckily, we didn't make a move!"

The other martial arts teams that arrived were all taken aback by the black-clad man's sudden burst of speed.

But it makes sense, who, apart from a War God-level warrior, would dare to take on the Phantom Squad alone?

Yang Wu stood to the side; how could he let Fang Qing escape?

boom!

Yang Wu stomped his foot on the ground, unleashing three times the force, and his speed instantly broke the sound barrier.

Yang Wu had already joined the elite training camp twice in the simulator, so he naturally knew that speed could also be oscillated.

Whoosh!

In less than two seconds, Yang Wu rushed in front of Fang Qing and then launched a counterattack straight at his heart.

Fang Qing could only quickly swing his curved sword to parry.

Clang~~

A metallic clang rang out, and Fang Qing was forced to retreat repeatedly by Yang Wu's attack.

"Hmph!" Yang Wu sneered, mocking, "Using this as a cover to escape? Don't even think about it!"

Although Yang Wu cannot kill Fang Qing, who is protected by the Black God Set, it is not difficult to capture him.

In terms of physical fitness, the two are now about the same, but Yang Wu's power output far exceeds that of his opponent, so he is faster and stronger!

Coupled with his perfect agility and marksmanship, Fang Qing was completely powerless to resist.

And so, the two of them went on a chase, one fleeing but unable to escape, the other chasing but unable to kill!

Even so, the others who witnessed the two fighting were completely stunned!

The Phantom Squad members had already witnessed Yang Wu's strength, so there was no need to mention it again.

The other martial arts teams watching the battle were already in an uproar.

"Who is that person? How could they possibly overpower a War God? Could they be a high-level War God?"

"Looking at this person, it seems..." someone said uncertainly.

"Who does it look like?"

"Seems like a new member of the Phantom Squad. But wait, I heard the Phantom Squad's main member is a rookie martial artist?"

"A rookie martial artist? Bullshit! Why don't you just say this senior is your sworn brother?"

"My sworn brothers? I'd like to, but unfortunately, they aren't!"

"hehe……"

"What, don't you want to?"

"Uh, I want to too!"

……

Just as Yang Wu and his companion were exchanging blows, more and more martial artists arrived at the scene.

Among them were ordinary martial arts teams as well as War God-level powerhouses who had received distress signals in the War God Palace.

But seeing the two fighting in the arena, none of these people tacitly refrained from interfering!

Until, a streak of pale blue light flew swiftly from the distant horizon.

Thank you to reader Haozheng Wudaojun Fengtian for the 100-point reward.
