Chapter 1097: Life-Saving
Chapter 1097: Life-Saving
Rewinding time a few seconds ago, during the moment when Lin Rui’s fist and Thor’s fist clashed in mid-air, the powerful energies of both sides entangled, and neither could immediately overpower the other.
However, this energy balance was short-lived and soon shattered. What followed was an explosion of energy that was several times stronger than before.
Crackling!
Boom, Boom, Boom!
At a distance of about five to six meters from the sandy ground, countless thunderbolts, accompanied by various natural forces and Azura’s internal energy, erupted in all directions.
Thor and Lin Rui’s figures were completely concealed and vanished within these erupting energies, and their current situations were unknown.
Hoo!
As the powerful energy shockwave erupted in the center of the battlefield, Jack, stationed at the edge of the protective barrier, immediately began rapid hand seals. Though Jack knew that his protective barrier could not withstand the force of this energy shockwave, he still tried his best to minimize its impact two hundred meters away.
Hum, Hum, Hum!
After a quick series of hand seals, the previously invisible protective barrier shimmered with a faint golden glow. After adding some inscriptions to the barrier, Jack swiftly drew a circle in front of himself with his right hand. Instantly, a magical spatial teleportation gate appeared.
Boom!
As soon as the magical spatial teleportation gate materialized, the energy shockwave from the center of the battlefield was already sweeping toward Jack. The shockwave that reached Jack was immediately redirected and moved away by the magical spatial teleportation gate.
Jack, safe behind the gate, remained unharmed. However, the remaining energy shockwave continued to sweep outwards toward the outer desert after being partially absorbed by the protective barrier.
“Thank goodness this is the Sahara Desert; otherwise…” Feeling the depletion of his magical energy within the protective barrier, Jack felt fortunate that Lin Rui and the others chose to fight in this location.
However, just as Jack was about to finish his thought, his eyes suddenly flashed with surprise. “Huh?! How could there be people over there!?”
Hum, hum!
Without further thought, Jack swiftly waved his hand and drew another magical spatial teleportation gate behind him. In the next moment, he stepped into it and left the battlefield.
Hoo!
As Jack emerged from the magical spatial teleportation gate, he found himself standing atop a small sand dune not too far from the battlefield. Before him, several people lay flat on the sandy ground, staring dumbfoundedly at the energy shockwave rushing out of the battlefield.
Needless to say, these people were Professor Astor and his group, who had been drawn here by the thunderstorm earlier. As soon as the mercenary captain had warned them earlier, they witnessed a golden bowl-shaped shield suddenly appear on the empty sandy ground ahead, as if it were a magical illusion or mirage.
Then, from that shimmering golden bowl, thunderbolts and various intertwining energy blasts suddenly surged out.
Seeing this scene before them, Professor Astor and his group were all taken aback. They intuitively sensed that this was not a mirage but a real threat to their lives.
Even if they were not scared, they couldn’t run away at this moment, as they had exhausted their strength by climbing up the sand dune. Even the three mercenaries who had some energy left were only recovering from their shock.
“Quick! Run!…” The mercenary captain, who had just come to his senses, watched as the energy shockwaves swept through the sandy ground and quickly surged toward them. He shouted while dashing towards the back of the sand dune, urging the others to follow suit.
At this moment, the mercenary Captain could only alert the others. In a life-or-death situation, he couldn’t afford to be concerned about the employers who couldn’t move.
Moreover, he himself might not be able to escape unharmed. However, just as the Mercenary Captain stood up and turned around, he suddenly froze. Behind him, someone appeared, and it wasn’t a member of their team.
Hoo!
Although he was slightly stunned for a moment, the Mercenary Captain didn’t dwell on why there was an extra person; his life was at stake. He immediately tried to run past the stranger in front of him.
However, as he lifted his leg to move, he found himself frozen in mid-air. No, it wasn’t just his leg; his entire body was immobilized, as if under a petrification spell.
“It’s too late. Let me send you away first.” Following the stranger’s unexpected words, the Mercenary Captain, who was shocked by his current inability to move, witnessed a scene that he would never forget.
After the stranger finished speaking, he swiftly made hand seals with his right hand. Then, a golden halo appeared out of thin air in front of him. Needless to say, the person who suddenly appeared behind them was Jack.
Swish!
In the next moment, Jack waved his right hand forward, and the golden halo quickly enveloped the Mercenary Captain and the other motionless individuals lying on the ground.
Like a skilled acrobat, Jack effortlessly captured them within the golden halo. Then, the group vanished into thin air, and the golden halo, under Jack’s control, swiftly rushed towards the few people who were still on the sand dune.
Swish, swish!
Soon, those who hadn’t made it up to the sand dune were also teleported away by Jack using the magical spatial teleportation gate.
After completing these actions, Jack sensed his surroundings, ensuring there were no other people present. Satisfied, he took a step back and walked into the magical spatial teleportation gate, disappearing from the scene.
Boom, Boom, Boom!
At the very moment, Jack rescued those people, the small sand dune was directly flattened by the energy shockwave. Even those who had some strength to run could barely take two steps before being swept away by the terrifying force of the energy, leaving no trace of them, mingling their remains with the unforgiving Sahara Desert.
After sweeping across the sand dune, the interwoven energy shockwaves continued to surge forward for about five hundred meters before gradually depleting their energy and disappearing.
However, the area swept by this energy shockwave was no longer the yellow sand desert; instead, it turned into a magical crystalline formation due to the high-intensity energy altering the physical structure.
As the shockwave dissipated outside the protective barrier, the storm within also came to a halt. Jack, who had returned after rescuing the people, now stood at the edge of the battlefield, carefully sensing the situation in the center.
However, he couldn’t sense anything; it was as if Thor and Lin Rui had been blasted into nothingness during their intense battle.
