NovelEnglish"I smell a conspiracy brewing..."
Zhang Lie was curious as to what it could be, but he didn't want to cause any further disturbances. The members of Team Zenith were still waiting for him, so he would rather make them his top priority.
Li Qianlin didn't make him wait for long. Zhang Lie heard a whirring noise from the air as the airship came within sight.
The airship landed in a clearing within the city. Zhang Lie smiled and clasped both hands behind his back as he approached the airship. He was just about to greet Li Qianlin when a few figures suddenly appeared and laid out a web just as the airship was about to land.
The web was made of some unusual materials, clearly peak-grade or higher in origin. The airship's defense system immediately activated, tearing apart the web with all sorts of lasers. A group of hunters rushed out from the city and destroyed the airship's weaponry, causing it to activate its shield to deflect external attacks.
However, the hunters quickly destroyed that, too.
The airship's offensive and defensive systems were only the equivalent of a disaster-grade lifeform's, and rapidly fell to the attack of a hundred hunters.
The hunters of Lin Lingfeng's settlement had been preparing for this for quite some time, and they naturally took down the airship in one fell swoop.
Zhang Lie was enraged. He struck at once. "Daring to try to steal my airship…!"
Blue genetic energy gathered around Zhang Lie as space vibrated. The ripples spread out over his arm. He flicked his wrist. The skies darkened. A fish the size of a whale materialized in the air.
The hunters froze in shock and fear, but it was too late.
"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!"
A howling gale swept over the space. As more and more genetic energy gathered around Zhang Lie's arms, it looked as though he were at the heart of a whirlpool.
A huge wave soared into the air. As Zhang Lie punched forward, the fish slammed its huge tail on the ground and sent a torrent of water surging.
Ripples of energy spread out from Zhang Lie, warping the space around him. The towering waves looked like enraged black dragons, flooding the area and obliterating the hunters.
As the waves burst apart, the air filled with echoes of Zhang Lie's signature genetic energy, shattering space and swallowing up all life in its vicinity.
Zhang Lie rose into the air and set his sights on the nearby hunters.

Lin Lingfeng emerged with a group and attempted to corral the fleeing hunters.
Zhang Lie slowly landed before Lin Lingfeng.
"Lin Lingfeng, it looks as though you haven't been controlling your hunters properly."
Lin Lingfeng's forehead beaded with sweat. "I am truly sorry. I didn't expect that these hunters would dare to strike after knowing that you've returned from the Milky Way."
She would have evicted the hunters from the city had she known! Zhang Lie was a man who could destroy the entire city with an errant thought—did these hunters not remember how he had dealt with the sea of clouds?
Lin Lingfeng could still remember the sight of the hundred dragons' explosions as clear as day.
