Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 269 Hide and Seek

boom!
Hundreds of fiery bats, like a giant fireball, bombarded the building's windows, and the violent explosion sent the reinforced concrete structure flying everywhere.

However, Li Wei still took the lead, rushing into the fifteenth-floor room like a rolling gourd, and in a flash, he rushed into a room.

The next second, amidst the whooshing sound of flames, hundreds of fire bats flew to the fifteenth floor, transformed back into human form, and then, like a cannonball, the Fire Duke blasted through three walls in one go, almost catching Li Wei.

Unfortunately, Li Wei seemed to anticipate this, and jumped out of the window the instant the Flame Duke charged at him like a raging truck.

And just as he jumped, he could turn back and give the Flame Duke a playful look.

Well, actually he switched to the Tracker title and instantly locked onto the Flame Duke, searching for his life core.

"call!"

Duke Flame's aura changed, and he transformed back into a fiery bat and chased after them; he was getting a little angry.

But I'm sorry.

Because Li Wei jumped into the thirteenth floor in the next second, as if he had arrived at his own home, not afraid of getting lost at all. In a flash, he hid in a room.

And it kept running around like it was in a maze.

Duke Flame did not switch to human form this time, intending to use his Flame Bat form to quickly pursue the enemy. However, the Flame Bat form could not break through the concrete wall and was running around inside the building. It would be better for Duke Flame to transform into a tank and crash into the wall!

Anyway, Li Wei even had time to glance at him a couple more times this time.

Very strong, really too strong.

But it was precisely because Duke Flame's aura was so intense, like a ball of fire, that Li Wei could clearly sense his aura fluctuations and tell at a glance whether he was going to transform into a bat or a human.

Of course, we should also thank the complex terrain inside the building.

In short, Li Wei had already mastered the rhythm in just a few seconds.

His agility was on full display at this moment. The entire building was like his training ground, going up and down. His speed was not good, but he could predict the movements!
As soon as he sensed that the Flame Duke was about to transform into hundreds of flame bats, he immediately stopped jumping off the building and began to maneuver around the room, because the flame bats could not break through the concrete wall.

But as soon as he sensed that Duke Flame was about to transform into human form, he immediately jumped off the building.

After going back and forth more than ten times, he also took the opportunity to switch the Tracker title more than ten times, successfully capturing and locking onto the three life cores of the Flame Duke.

However, he felt that Duke Flame should have a fourth life core, but it was hidden very deep and could not be reached.

And so, Li Wei and Duke Flame played hide-and-seek in the building for a full minute, neither able to gain the upper hand for the time being.

Unless Duke Flame demolishes the entire building, he really can't do anything to Li Wei.

But Li Wei dared not leave the central building even for a moment. Without the terrain here, if he went out and was exposed for more than three seconds, he would be doomed.

Duke Flame killed him as easily as killing an insect.

suddenly,

Duke Flame suddenly stopped chasing. He stopped, his fiery red hair fluttering in the wind, his blood-red eyes looking down at the building.

Because Li Yue and Liang Yuzhi arrived, and behind them were Thomas, Leon, Zhao Xuanxuan, Zhang Jinjun, He Yuying, and Julian, a total of eight people.

Their appearance clearly made Duke Flame feel threatened and annoyed; indeed, his emotions were quite evident.

The culprit, Li Wei, was less than twenty meters away on the floor above him. This distance was nothing, but dozens of chases in the past minute had proven that he couldn't catch him. In this terrain, unless Li Wei was completely exhausted, he simply couldn't catch him.

This guy is so agile, it's like a mudfish come to life.

Of course, it seems pointless to talk about this now.

"Were you sent by Duke Frost to kill me? I knew this day would come, and I really couldn't hold on any longer, but the radiation storm is coming. What will happen to the people in this underground base? You didn't even arrange a convoy, or any resettlement measures? You don't even intend to talk to me?"

Duke Flame spoke up, and he looked like a giant, bright red lobster, surprisingly reasonable.

"It's not too late to talk now. However, we were not sent by the Duke of Frost. We have our own camp. You should know who we are. We are very sincere. We are willing to accept natural persons and provide them with protection. We even have ways to slow down your loss of control."

Li Wei called out from upstairs, still hoping to talk to Duke Flame.

"Heh! So it's you, a bunch of clueless outsiders with superpowers. Well then, I'm sorry, if it were Duke Frost who sent people to take in the natural human survivors here, that would be fine, but you? You're not worthy at all! This radiation storm will be very powerful, I can foresee that you will all die, or you will all become radiation zombies!"

"Rather than that, it would be better if they died by my hand. I will hand those natural beings over to Duke Frost."

Before the words were even finished, the Flame Duke had already taken to the air, flames erupting all around him. He was even able to form a pair of fiery wings on his back, which stabilized his falling body. Finally, he glided and charged towards Li Yue and Liang Yuzhi!

From Li Wei's perception, it was as if he saw a huge fireball crashing to the ground!

This is definitely not a five-star ability user, it might be a six-star one!
No, no, it should still be five stars or more!

At that moment, Li Wei only had time to see Liang Yuzhi scream and charge forward with her tower shield in hand. Her body shone with a strange light, and she managed to withstand the terrifying attack from Duke Blazing Flame. The next second, she and her tower shield flew into the air like two fireballs. Half of the steel tower shield melted away, and Liang Yuzhi herself flew dozens of meters away.

Almost simultaneously, Li Yue, wielding a blue greatsword, made a ghostly forward slash, cutting the Flame Duke's body diagonally upwards from his abdomen in one breath, directly cleaving him in two!
But at that very moment, with a loud boom, the two halves of Duke Flame's body transformed into hundreds of fire bats and soared into the air.

Li Yue's attack missed; the Flame Duke's life core could actually move randomly instead of staying in one place.

This alone makes it far more powerful than the previous level 5 magic zombies.

But in that instant, the bowstring vibrated, and a three-star sniper armor-piercing arrow shot out from the fourteenth floor. It was very powerful, but its accuracy was a bit too high...

So the Flame Duke didn't even sense any danger, nothing more!

But that's exactly the effect we wanted.

As a scout, Li Wei set off two days in advance, conducting all sorts of nerve-wracking reconnaissance. Just now, he played hide-and-seek with you in the building, circling around you, all for this moment.
The core of life!

We must lock onto the core of life.

They couldn't lock onto him; even experts like Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue couldn't do anything about the Flame Duke.

Because this guy can fly, it's like a game-changer.

However, Ah Dai suddenly flew out and transformed into a streak of light in the next second, attaching itself to the sniper's armor-piercing arrow, as if it had suddenly gained fine-tuned terminal guidance.

In the blink of an eye, the powerful three-star sniper armor-piercing arrow was fine-tuned four times.

Then, in a flash, it locked onto an inconspicuous-looking bat from among hundreds of fire bats and blasted it to pieces!
boom!
The enormous explosion reverberated throughout the city, flames danced, the wind howled, and the shockwave was even equivalent to a Force 12 gale!

Because Li Wei shot and destroyed one of the Flame Duke's life cores!
All the hundreds of flame bats vanished, and with a thud, the Flame Duke's human form fell to the ground, just like a pile of flames landing.

Flames several meters high were visible within a radius of several meters!
The resulting high temperature even exceeded 1000 degrees Celsius!
At the heart of this raging inferno, the Flame Duke's body is undergoing a transformation.

but--

"Thomas!"

Li Yue roared loudly, and almost before her voice had even faded, Thomas, wielding the steel tower shield, activated the title of City Builder and instantly crashed into the flames like a small train.

With a single blow, the Flame Duke's body was sent flying out of the thousands of degrees of flame!

The next second, Li Yue's figure suddenly turned into a blur, spanning dozens of meters. Her blue two-handed greatsword formed a terrifying cross-shaped blur, directly splitting the Flame Duke's body into four pieces!
This time, they finally succeeded in destroying his second life core.

"Hurrah!"

The body of the Flame Duke, which had been cut into four pieces, suddenly transformed into more than two hundred flame bats and soared into the air, disappearing directly into another building. Then, it transformed into human form, giving Li Wei no chance to snipe.

"You're courting death!"

Along with the Flame Duke's voice, his mouth suddenly opened wide, and emitted a strange, inaudible yet extremely disgusting infrasound wave!
Immediately following, a rumbling sound rang out from all directions, as the hidden doors in the surrounding buildings were opened, and a large number of superhumans were pouring out!

How can there be so many people with superpowers?
Wait, where's Duke Flame?

Oops!

A bad thought flashed through Li Wei's mind, and he immediately rushed downstairs. Li Yue and the others also gathered at the bottom of the building. They were surrounded by two or three hundred superhumans. How did Duke Flame manage to gather so many?

"Xiaoyue, we have to break out of here, the situation is getting out of control!"

Li Wei said in a deep voice, he felt that something was very wrong, and a sense of urgent crisis made him feel like he had a thorn in his back!
"Brother, it's too late! Auntie is badly injured..."

Li Yue's voice trembled with tears, but deep in her eyes shone a light of excitement and exhilaration, as if she had transformed into a war fanatic.

Li Wei understood immediately: there are no battlefields where everything goes smoothly, with favorable timing, location, and people. Fighting too many battles with an easy advantage is not a good thing. You need to fight your way out!
The stronger the enemy, the more frantic we become!
"Alright! You take Second Aunt to the third floor! I'll take them and guard this place."

After weighing the options, Li Wei decided that he could trust Li Yue one more time. He put away the Three-Star War Bow, drew the Bloodthirsty War Spear, and stood guard at the entrance of the building. There were various permanent defensive structures built earlier, especially a cover wall that acted like a screen, which was very advantageous.

Although there are many people with superpowers, it will be difficult for them to break in in a short time.

So in reality, most of the superhumans climbed in through the windows on the third floor, which is why Li Wei sent Li Yue and Liang Yuzhi to the third floor.

The battle had already broken out at the entrance by then.

Thomas remains the core figure. He activated his title as the Builder and charged into the raging flames, knocking away the Flame Duke. He didn't suffer much damage, so he still plays a crucial role here.

They blocked and knocked away fireballs, ice spikes, and bone spurs.

Lyon, wielding a greatsword, stood to his left, while Zhao Xuanxuan, holding a hammer, stood to his right. Zhang Jinjun followed behind Lyon, and Julian, the three-star butcher, followed behind Zhao Xuanxuan as a substitute.

As for He Yuying, the four-star mountain dweller, she was invited by Li Yue to go to the third floor, where the pressure was actually greater.
