Chapter 1175: Chapter 1041: Battlefield Control

Actually, Granny Jia didn’t need to express it, Qinghu had already thought it through; the next battle target was the Fire Attribute Supreme.

Her combat power was quite strong, although her combat experience wasn’t very extensive, her ability to read the battlefield was extremely strong.

She started by equipping herself with armor, then her companions, and upon finding the difficulty rising, she immediately stopped...

These responses were all decisive, even if they might cause some damage to their side; that’s the instinct on the battlefield.

Most importantly, she could even understand why the boss would attack the Water Attribute Supreme amidst his busy schedule!

The reason was simple, it was a Supreme capable of controlling the battlefield—it’s raining right now!

Earlier, the opponent had prepared the Five Elements Attack collaboration, making the Water Attribute Supreme’s options limited.

After the collaboration was interrupted, the Water Attribute Supreme managed to free himself, but unfortunately, he was immediately targeted by Bentley.

Until Qinghu made her move, he hadn’t shaken off his rigidity dilemma.

But it was very clear that Bentley couldn’t take him down quickly, he could only create some trouble.

That’s why, when Qu Jianlei landed a critical hit on the Earth Attribute, he found another Supreme coming, yet first deprived him of his sight.

Qinghu’s battlefield intuition was truly remarkable, as she had already decided on her next opponent before dealing with the Water Attribute.

Why the Fire Attribute Supreme? Because he was distracting Granny Jia’s attention.

Similarly, on rainy days, Granny Jia also had the ability to control the battlefield, but she too was limited.

Only by taking on this Fire Attribute could Qinghu free Granny Jia, quickly reduce their side’s losses, and lock in a victory.

Granny Jia’s calling her over for help was undoubtedly for the same reason.

So, Qinghu turned around and instant flashed to the side of the Fire Attribute Supreme.

Her true attribute is sand, supposedly restrained by fire.

However, the opponent had already been firmly suppressed by Granny Jia, and his protective armor was near collapse.

This person didn’t have just one layer of armor on him, and it wasn’t just fire armor, so although he was fragile, at this point his defense wasn’t too bad.

It took Qinghu two strikes to cut this person into two.

And Granny Jia finally freed her hands, instant flashed to evade an attack while raising her hand and performing a finger technique, "Ice Seal~"

This time it wasn’t an individual attack, but a range technique, instantaneously filling the world with endless coldness.

This coldness didn’t affect the Supreme much, but it clearly slowed down many of the A-level’s actions.

Not only did they feel their bodies stiffen, even their brains were somewhat frozen, making their thoughts sluggish.

Unfortunately, this effect... didn’t differentiate between friend and foe.

Members of Qu Jianlei’s team even found the act of instant flash a bit slow, their speed no longer as fast as before.

No choice, Granny Jia’s abilities were just like that.

Performing a range technique and executing a precise strike simultaneously was too difficult for her—let’s discuss it further upon becoming a higher Supreme.

However, the Water Attribute Supreme who had been cut into two didn’t consider her level low.

His upper body perceived this scene, gasping at the cold, "This kind of battlefield control... isn’t above Supreme?"

Being the Water Attribute Supreme as well, he assuredly knew he couldn’t achieve this, moreover, he felt the other’s terrifying presence all the more.

For a moment, his heart was filled with bitterness, "Damn it... what kind of people did we ambush?"

Just then, an anguished scream was heard; it was the Earth Attribute Supreme finally getting his defenses broken.

Qu Jianlei’s axe was once again wasted, but no matter, he simply switched to another.

At that moment, the Wood Attribute Supreme who was rushing in came to a halt, "How... how could it end up like this?"

He had traveled from over ten kilometers away, not taking too long, with full-speed flight taking just over a minute.

But from the time he spoke until now, it had only taken less than half a minute, leaving him still five or six kilometers from the battlefield!

In such a short time, the entire ambush team... was wiped out?

In fact, it wasn’t completely wiped out; there were still over a dozen A-level and B-level in the fierce battle, but the Supreme were all annihilated!

With the Supreme annihilated, the opponent’s water attribute field control meant that all non-Supreme combatants’ annihilation was just a matter of time.

At this moment, he can’t help but consider one question... should he continue to communicate or leave?

If it were up to Qu Jianlei, his first reaction would definitely be to turn around and escape—to preserve a useful life, revenge could be pursued!

And there’s no need to think about it; the opponent would surely do his utmost to eliminate witnesses, preventing any leaks.

But these two factors don’t apply to the Wood Attribute Supreme.

Firstly, this ambush wasn’t a secret among their people, and multiple battle simulations had been conducted specifically for the scenario.

Clearly, from the current results, the battle simulations were a complete failure.

The opponent’s strength exceeded their expectations, and significantly exceeded them.

There’s no need to detail it; the key point is that a lot of people in their force are aware of this matter!

Silencing witnesses? Not necessary, once people find out those who were ambushed didn’t return, everyone will understand what happened.

Secondly, there’s the matter of revenge—the likelihood of this happening isn’t very high.

Their feud started at the auction; they thoroughly investigated before avenging, discovering that the opponent was also not a small force.

Some insisted on revenge, but that would only involve small-scale local conflicts.

Taking advantage is one thing, but suffering a loss is another; an all-out war between the two factions is impossible.

Wanting to make a comeback after taking a hit? It’s not impossible, but for now, let bygones be bygones and see what happens when future encounters occur.

In this situation, the Wood Attribute Supreme was in a bind. If he fled, the fate of his people would be sealed.

However, the leader... he couldn’t just abandon him, or the future wouldn’t bode well either.

Fighting wasn’t an option; they couldn’t win in a fight, and it would only drag him down.

So he could only stop advancing, constantly flashing around to evade potential attacks.

Meanwhile, he kept shouting, "We’re willing to compensate, we’re willing to compensate!"

He originally thought he was safe five or six kilometers away, but the next moment, everything went dark before his eyes.

Soon after, his perception ability vanished, and he couldn’t even tell where he was!

This feeling was somewhat like being in space, but even in space, he would have some orientation ability.

He was so frightened that he shouted, "I surrender, I surrender! We’re from the Dogan Supreme!"

"Go to hell!" a voice sounded in his ear, and then he suddenly felt his body shake violently.

Next, another jolt, and he found himself crashing to the ground.

Instinctively, he tried to reach out with his right hand to clutch his chest, signaling that he meant no resistance.

However, he was stunned to find that he couldn’t feel his right hand!

Then he reached out with his left hand and realized—oh!—the right half of his body was gone, and his hand was covered in a warm liquid.

As he moved his hand down, he felt a soft, moist flesh—wait, was that his insides?

"Tch," the Paranoid glanced at him, snorted coldly, and instantly flashed back to the battlefield.

The ensuing battle was as effortless as slicing through vegetables, and not one of the ambushers escaped!

Indeed, some tried to run, but on a rainy day, Granny Jia’s control was simply terrifying.

Besides Qu Jianlei, there was also Claire using Sight Deprivation.

Her cultivation level was really too low and she could only sneak around during the melee, quietly ambushing to harass the enemy.

However, any interference was better than none.

Adding to that, ten of Qu Jianlei’s group of twelve had mastered the Instant Flash skill—who could escape?

The ambush appeared suddenly, yet their team was far too fierce.

With all their skills combined, they completely annihilated the opponents in just over two minutes.

Unlike usual, the dead were all A-level and B-level; the Supremes lingered on in a dying state.

Qu Jianlei’s side also had casualties.

Among them, Zi Jiu Immortal was the most severely injured, with a fractured arm and leg.

The left upper arm was an open fracture, the pale bone piercing through the skin.

After all, she wasn’t adept at combat and, particularly, lacked experience in melee, ending up as a target of focused attacks.

Celestial Sound was also injured, her skull suffering a heavy blow, likely a fracture, and her face swollen like half a watermelon, missing a few teeth.

She had some combat experience, but her cultivation level was too low, and it was inconvenient to use Light Attribute techniques, leading to her plight.

Still, her injuries weren’t too severe, not even requiring a craniotomy; nano-robots could repair it internally.

As for the missing teeth, that’s even less of an issue; gene technology can regenerate new teeth, much easier than limb regeneration.

In contrast, Claire, also B-level, remained completely unscathed in the battle.

Bentley was also slightly injured—Electromagnetic Attribute naturally drew hostility, and his performance was a bit too flashy.

However, his body technique was good, frequently using Instant Flash, so he only took a few glancing hits, resulting in several soft tissue bruises.

Five Supremes were attacked but basically came through unscathed.

Yet the Koros Corona siblings both got injured.

The sister was slightly better, with multiple fractures and abrasions, while the brother’s right side was shattered, his right leg severed at the base.

Given his strength and combat experience, it shouldn’t have come to this.

However, Corona was originally unwell, and Koros took the hit to shield his sister from the attack.

Remarkably, the siblings also managed to take down two enemies, showing their combat experience was adequate.

In the end, the opponents were too strong, their numbers and coordination exquisite, with a meticulously laid ambush.

Their defeat was not through lack of effort; it was sheer misfortune to encounter Qu Jianlei’s monstrous team!

Almost every one of them was a genius-level talent, with numerous Mutated Attributes, and the rarest part was that most were battle-hardened desperados.

Such seasoned and ruthless individuals are scarcely seen among the ordinary Awakened, let alone gathered in one place.

Coupled with their newly acquired Instant Flash technique, their opponents’ downfall was not undeserved.

For the siblings’ injuries, Qu Jianlei felt a pang of regret, especially realizing they were implicated by association.

He promised to help them settle down, so how did it turn out like this?

He truly doesn’t want to admit that kind of constitution!
