Chapter 349: Slightly Indigested

Hou Changfeng was completely dumbfounded.

As the governor of Dongning Province,

he had naturally seen legendary-tier weapons before.

But that was a legendary-tier weapon.

Even with his status and position, he had neither the opportunity nor the qualification to possess one.

Yet Li Gang casually pulled one right out of his space ring.

How could this not shock the governor out of his wits?

Looking at the shocked expression on Hou Changfeng's face,

Li Gang felt secretly proud inside, but still maintained a serious expression as he said,

"Reporting to Lord Governor, this is a legendary-tier weapon!"

Hou Changfeng retorted irritably, "I fucking know this is a legendary-tier weapon, I'm asking you where you got this thing from?"

Without hiding anything, Li Gang explained truthfully, "It was given to me by Ou Yezi, the Forging Master of Donghai City."

Upon hearing this, Hou Changfeng fell into deep thought.

"Ou Yezi?"

This name was not unfamiliar to him.

Although he hadn't paid attention to the Forging Competition in Skyfire City,

he had more or less heard about a young Forging Master named Ou Yezi forging a legendary-quality weapon.

He looked at Li Gang with a skeptical expression.

"You're saying someone gave this thing to you?"

Li Gang nodded.

"Why would they?"

Hou Changfeng's tone rose by an octave.

"This is a legendary-tier weapon, why on earth would someone give it to you?"

"Did you catch Great Master Ou Yezi committing a murder or something?"

Li Gang could no longer hide the smugness on his face.

"Great Master Ou Yezi said, as long as I can defend Donghai City, this Twilight Judgment will be given to me."

"Now that Donghai City is safe, this weapon naturally belongs to me."

"Enough nonsense, let me show you the power of this weapon!"

After saying that, Li Gang ignored Hou Changfeng's ghost-seeing expression.

Supporting the huge [Twilight Judgment] with one hand, he shook the gun body, and the heavy buttstock steadily rested on the battlements of the city wall.

He narrowed one eye and, through the shimmering scope, locked onto the densest area of the Insect Tide outside the city.

"Twilight Judgment, skill [Yao Ri]!"

Accompanied by a low shout, the energy within Li Gang's body surged frantically into the gun body like floodwaters from an opened sluice!

Hum——!

On the dark golden gun body, those intricate runes lit up one by one, ultimately converging at the pitch-black muzzle!

A brilliant golden light resembling a mini sun rapidly condensed and compressed at the muzzle!

Under this terrifying energy, the surrounding air was scorched and distorted, emitting a harsh zisila zisila sound!

On the city wall, all the Professionals who noticed the commotion here had their hearts pounding wildly from the violent energy fluctuations, and they subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Th-That… What kind of weapon is that?"

"Such terrifying energy! What ultimate move is Minister Li Gang about to unleash?"

The next second, Li Gang pulled the trigger.

Boom——!!!

No bullets were fired.

Only a golden beam of light exceeding ten meters in diameter, composed purely of destructive energy, tore through the dim night sky like a deity's sword of judgment!

Wherever the beam of light passed, whether those ferocious beetles or the hard bricks of the city wall, everything was reduced to the most insignificant dust!

The golden torrent slammed fiercely into that black ocean!

In an instant, heaven and earth lost their voice!

In everyone's ears, nothing was left except a violent buzzing!

Immediately after, a small mushroom cloud rose explosively right in the center of the Insect Tide!

The destructive energy shockwave swept crazily in all directions like a violent tsunami!

The black carpet originally covering the energy barrier was forcefully cleared out to form a huge circular gap with a diameter of over a hundred meters!

Tens of thousands of beetles were completely evaporated under this heaven-shaking strike without even emitting a single scream!

The city wall fell into a dead silence.

Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at the massive vacuum zone outside the city, their minds blank.

The might of a single shot was truly terrifying!

After a brief dead silence, the entire defense line erupted into earth-shattering cheers!

"Holy shit! Awesome!"

"Minister Li Gang is mighty!"

However, these cheers lasted for less than ten seconds before coming to an abrupt halt.

Because outside the city, the endless Insect Tide surged rapidly like a black tide, instantly filling the newly cleared gap once again.

Li Gang's brows furrowed tightly.

Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger again!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Another three consecutive shots!

Three destructive golden beams once again cleared three huge areas within the Insect Tide.

Yet the result remained the same.

The gap just blasted open was swallowed up completely by the subsequent army of the Insect Tide in the blink of an eye.

Hou Changfeng walked over with a gloomy face.

"The power is decent, but it's still too slow."

"The number of these bugs far exceeds our imagination."

"Let's go together!"

Having said that, Hou Changfeng suddenly leaped, and his plump body jumped directly onto the battlements of the city wall like a cannonball!

He stood steadily on the wall ledge less than half a meter wide, his massive body remaining completely motionless.

"Lord Governor!"

Seeing this, Li Gang's expression changed, and he was just about to step forward.

But Hou Changfeng abruptly raised a hand to stop him.

"Watch closely!"

Seeing Hou Changfeng take a deep breath, his beer belly—which looked like a ten-month pregnancy—suddenly pulled inward!

Immediately after, he opened his mouth.

That mouth stretched wider and wider in a way that violated the laws of physics!

One meter!

Five meters!

Ten meters!

In the end, it actually transformed into a terrifying giant mouth exceeding thirty meters in diameter, resembling a black hole!

"Suck… it in!"

Accompanied by a muffled roar, an unimaginably terrifying suction force erupted explosively from that giant mouth!

Whoosh——!

Strong winds howled!

Outside the city wall, those beetles that were densely clinging to the energy barrier were swept up involuntarily by the terrifying suction force like dust caught in a tornado!

They converged into streams of black torrents, emitting panicked hisses as they frantically poured into Hou Changfeng's bottomless giant mouth!

This scene left everyone on the city wall dumbfounded.

Li Gang's eyeballs were practically popping out.

He knew the Lord Governor was strong.

But he never expected him to be strong to such an unimaginable degree!

How is this still human?

This is clearly an ancient Vicious Beast!

As Hou Changfeng's skill was released, the effect was immediate!

On the energy barrier, the Insect Tide that was originally as thick as a carpet rapidly thinned out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's working!"

"Quick! Take advantage of now! All-out attack!"

Someone roared out.

On the city wall, all Professionals seemed to see hope and once again burst forth with unprecedented Battle Intent!

Countless skill lights flashed frantically!

The Magical Cannons on the city wall also began to bombard crazily without regard for energy consumption!

Large areas of the Insect Tide were cleared out!

However, the Insect Tide army outside the city was still seemingly endless.

As soon as one area was cleared, it was quickly refilled.

Gradually, Hou Changfeng's movements also slowed down.

His face, which was originally relatively normal, had now turned the color of pig liver, and veins bulged on his forehead.

Li Gang hurried forward and asked with concern,

"Lord Governor, are you alright?"

Hou Changfeng's figure staggered a bit as he jumped down from the top of the wall.

His already huge belly now ballooned to a terrifying extent, just like a balloon about to burst from over-inflation.

Covered in sweat, he shook his head with difficulty.

"I feel a bit like vomiting, these bugs taste too terrible."

"I need to rest for a while, otherwise I might get indigestion."

However, as Hou Changfeng stopped his action, the Insect Tide that had just eased up surged over once again!

The black torrent once again completely covered the entire dark blue energy barrier!

"Crack! Crack!"

The energy barrier was chewed on frantically, making loud noises. Countless ripples surged on its surface, and its light flickered uncertainly, as if it could shatter at any moment!

Li Gang's expression also turned extremely solemn.

"If this goes on, the Formation barrier will break sooner or later. We need to think of other ways."

Just as he was speaking, someone on the city wall suddenly let out a startled and uncertain cry.

"Wait a minute, something's not right!"

"Those bugs… seem to have suddenly stopped moving!"

"Huh? It really seems so! What's going on?"

Hearing this, Li Gang immediately looked towards the black ocean outside the city.

Sure enough!

The Insect Tide that had just been desperately chewing on the Formation barrier had now stopped their actions without any warning!

They just floated quietly in mid-air.

Without any further movement.

It was as if time had been pressed with a pause button at this very moment.

No one noticed that not far behind them,

a youth with platinum long hair and a pitch-black luxurious robe had quietly arrived on top of the city wall, nobody knew when.
