Chapter 699 - 533: Be Exposed: Gao Neng, Crown Prince of the Dragon Race

The humans also had Ninth-Order beings.

For example: he, Wu Qingjing, the members of the Supreme Council, and the Elite Guard Team that Gao Neng had transferred from the Federation Government Building.

In terms of elite status alone, the Elite Guard Team responsible for guarding the Federation Government Building was in no way inferior to the Great Angel Corps; in fact, they were even slightly stronger.

Otherwise, the humans would never have been able to hold out this long.

"No need. I’m saving you all for the counterattack. Just follow Ning’Er’s command," Gao Neng’s voice came from outside the command center’s entrance.

"..." Qin Jianfei was speechless.

’Just follow Ning’Er’s command?’

’You two... really aren’t shy about showing off your affection for everyone to see!’

Although Qin Jianfei knew that Gao Neng had always entrusted command of the counterattack to Shen Ning’Er, did he have to be so blunt about it?

He was the commander-in-chief of the Military Department, after all, wasn’t he?

In the end, Qin Jianfei said no more.

After all, Shen Ning’Er’s talent for military command had already become apparent.

Even he would have made the same arrangement.

However, there was still one major problem.

’What if they couldn’t hold the line?’

’How were they supposed to launch this counterattack then?’

His gaze fell upon the Six-winged Great Angel charging toward ’Xu Zilan’. He still couldn’t figure out how Gao Neng could possibly launch a counterattack given the current situation.

And just then, the voice of the Six-winged Great Angel came from the screen.

"Dragon Maiden!!!"

Following that was a powerful fluctuation of energy.

On the screen, a fierce wind began to howl.

The black cloak draped over Xu Zilan was blown upward.

A cascade of long, black hair tumbled out.

It revealed a very plain face, one that looked slightly aged, with a few faint wrinkles on the forehead.

"Dragon Maiden?" Qin Jianfei was a little surprised. In his experience, female Strongest were all quite stunning.

It was rare to see one with such ordinary features.

Besides, Dragon Maiden...

That name always gave him an inexplicable sense of danger.

"Gao Neng’s mother is the Fairy Dragon... Bai Feixue," Shen Ning’Er said calmly, her eyes fixed on the screen as Xu Zilan’s black cloak billowed.

"What?!"

"You’re saying Gao Neng’s mother is Bai Feixue?!"

This time, it wasn’t just Qin Jianfei who was shocked; Wu Qingjing and the other commanders all stared wide-eyed. After all, they had never imagined such a thing was possible.

"Gao Neng only found out on the Northern District Battlefield. Before that, he didn’t know about his mother," Shen Ning’Er nodded.

"He didn’t... know?" Qin Jianfei and Wu Qingjing exchanged a look.

If they didn’t genuinely trust Gao Neng, they would never have been able to accept the ’truth’ Shen Ning’Er had just revealed.

After all, it was a bit too far-fetched.

’A mother you lived with for eighteen years...’

’And you didn’t know she was a Strongest?’

No matter how you looked at it, the story just didn’t add up.

"I believe him. When he told me, I knew he was being completely honest." Shen Ning’Er naturally understood what Qin Jianfei, Wu Qingjing, and the others were thinking.

"Mm..." Wu Qingjing and Qin Jianfei nodded in unison.

’Not believe her?’

’What could they do if they didn’t?’

At this point, Gao Neng was directing the entire battle.

From the entry of the North District Alien Race’s Strongest to the supreme command of the Human Alliance, everything was under Gao Neng’s sole control.

The fate of humanity...

...was now truly in Gao Neng’s hands.

So, at a time like this, what else could they do but trust him?

BOOM!

Just then, Xu Zilan made her move.

As the fierce wind swept toward her, she extended her right hand.

There was no fancy posture.

Just a straight punch.

It shot toward the Six-winged Great Angel, who was twenty meters away.

But this single punch unleashed a sound so shocking it made one’s heart tremble, even tearing several rifts in the sky above.

"So... so strong?!" Qin Jianfei’s eyes went wide.

He actually didn’t know much about the Fairy Dragon, Bai Feixue, because she was an extremely mysterious human Strongest.

Moreover, this Strongest hadn’t been famous from the very beginning.

About eighteen years ago...

The Fairy Dragon, Bai Feixue, suddenly appeared.

She became one of the Human Alliance’s Strongest. As for where she had trained before, or which sect or noble family she belonged to, no one ever mentioned it.

Some people had raised questions in the past.

However, because Qin Lei had vouched for her, no one pursued any further verification.

After all, she was a Strongest.

Someone at the pinnacle of human power.

However, after the great war eighteen years ago, the Fairy Dragon vanished without a trace. Just as she had appeared, she came quickly and left even faster.

"The Fairy Dragon, Bai Feixue, a Strongest who disappeared eighteen years ago... has now reappeared out of thin air, displaying power comparable to Qin Lei?!"

Faced with such a scene, how could Qin Jianfei not be astounded?

But an even more astonishing scene was about to unfold.

Because after Xu Zilan threw her punch, the Six-winged Great Angel, instead of retreating, advanced, circling around to Xu Zilan’s side along an extremely bizarre ’trajectory’.

"Dragon Maiden, is this the extent of your power?!" The Six-winged Great Angel’s six wings suddenly spread wide, emitting a dazzling white light.

Then, thousands of feather-like arrows shot out.

At such close range, thousands of feather arrows rained down on Xu Zilan. Most importantly, these arrows all came from the Six-winged Great Angel’s wings.

One could only imagine their power.

"Not good!" Qin Jianfei’s expression changed drastically. Under these circumstances, based on his understanding of the Strongest, even Qin Lei would definitely be injured.

After all, it was too close!

And no one would have expected the Six-winged Great Angel to make such a "sacrifice."

BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

A series of explosions erupted.

Just as Qin Jianfei had expected, Xu Zilan didn’t dodge.

The feather arrows struck Xu Zilan’s body dead-on.

"No!"

On the screen, a figure shot upward at high speed.

It was Gao Neng.

But it was too late.

The feather arrows had already exploded on Xu Zilan’s body, and a dazzling white light completely engulfed her.

"Six-winged Archangel Tianzang, it’s been eighteen years... You haven’t improved much, have you?" Just as everyone was reeling in shock, a calm voice drifted out from within the white light.

And then, pieces of something like Scale Armor began to emerge from the white light.

It was a body completely covered in Scale Armor.

Xu Zilan was gone...

Or rather, the original Xu Zilan was gone.

In her place, an exquisitely beautiful woman walked out of the white light. She was completely different from the plain-looking woman from before, for this woman possessed a transcendent air.

It was an innate pride.

Of course, the strangest part was the pair of white dragon horns on her forehead, which flowed with a faint light.

"Didn’t you want to see my true power? Then open your eyes wide and look carefully!!!" Xu Zilan moved again.

It was another punch, aimed at the face of the Six-winged Great Angel beside her.

But this punch tore open the space before her... ripping it into a rift that resembled a black hole, within which the light of distant stars could be faintly seen.

SHHHLAAACK!

A gash appeared directly on the Six-winged Great Angel’s body.

It was as if he had been bitten by the black hole.

However, those who could truly understand what happened knew that it wasn’t a bite from a black hole. Rather, when the black hole appeared, there was a sharp claw inside it.

It was a dragon’s claw!

A dragon’s claw that could withstand the tearing force of a spatial rift!

"The Fairy Dragon, Bai Feixue... actually... injured... a Six-winged Great Angel?!" At that moment, the color finally drained from Qin Jianfei’s face.

Because the power displayed by this mysterious Strongest was simply too astonishing.

’So, who exactly is she?’

’And what about Elder Qin?’

Qin Jianfei looked at Qin Lei on the screen.

On Qin Lei’s face, he saw an astonishment almost identical to his own.

Of course, there was one person who wasn’t surprised...

...the Six-winged Archangel Tianzang, who had just been wounded by Xu Zilan’s claw.

As the injured party, the Six-winged Archangel Tianzang actually showed joy—an extremely excited kind of joy.

"Hahaha... Dragon Maiden, you’ve finally made your move! As expected, the Dragon Race wasn’t wiped out! Not only are you not extinct, but you even had a son with a human! That seed you conceived eighteen years ago... it’s him, isn’t it? Gao Neng, the Crown Prince of the Dragon Race!" A maniacal laugh escaped Tianzang’s lips.
