Purple Core Ice Flame, this was the top operative Lord Beruca’s specialty move. Anything that was touched by the ultra-low temperature Ice Flame, which was close to absolute zero, would be completely frozen and shattered.
Although most powerful fighters at the Astral-level had their own unique skills and special abilities, they were all eclipsed by the Purple Core Ice Flame—after all, it took some real skill to become one of the top operatives of the Dimensional War Inspectorate under the Oracle.
At that moment, Hong Dali glowed with a golden light. At the same time, Second Gear was activated. An endlessly swirling powerful air current flowed around him. It seemed exceptionally powerful. However, once that air current came into contact with Beruca’s Purple Core Ice Flame, it immediately froze into tiny ice chips and fell to the ground.
Hong Dali knew that the Ice Flame was very powerful and immediately started to retreat.
If he got injured and was caught by Beruca, it would be the end.
Just as Hong Dali decided to move back, Beruca seized the opportunity and waved his hand suddenly. Large tongues of Purple Core Ice Flame merged into a huge palm. This palm, which was as large as a house, reached out to grab Hong Dali.
As the palm moved towards Hong Dali, bits of flame fell off onto the ground, causing it to freeze solid. It moved through the air, leaving big pits a few meters in diameter on the ground.
“It’s the Ice Flame Grasp!” A guard in the distance recognized it. He shouted, “Lord Beruca is using his special skill! Anything caught by this hand will be completely frozen and shatter into pieces in an instant!” “It seems that Hong Dali is in trouble. The gap between their strength is really too big!”
Hong Dali could see that Beruca’s move was extremely powerful, so he dared not touch it. Suddenly, his body twitched violently as if he were a bird weaving through a forest. His body moved like a loach, quick and slippery. Just as Beruca’s Ice Flame Grasp reached out for him, he moved and slipped out of its grasp!
Once Beruca’s move managed to latch onto its target, victory was guaranteed. Of course, the premise was that it had to latch on.
After slipping out, Hong Dali quickly went around Beruca and attacked with a punch.
His punch was extremely powerful. Even Beruca would suffer from broken bones if he took it head-on.
Beruca was shocked that Hong Dali was able to escape from his Ice Flame Grasp. However, he was experienced and his reaction time was swift. In an instant, an ice flame appeared on Beruca’s back. With his powerful dark energy protecting his body, Beruca himself might suffer some injuries due to Hong Dali’s attack, but Hong Dali’s entire fist would be frozen and shattered by the Ice Flame.
“You’re really good!” Hong Dali sighed and withdrew his fist in an instant. He backed away, then moved around the area. However, he did not engage Beruca directly. At this time, the other two top operatives were fighting with the lackeys. The two of them were also very strong. Fortunately, the lackeys had been learning from Tang Zhen. Although the disparity between their strengths was big and they didn’t have many chances to attack, they were able to keep themselves safe.
“Hahaha. Hong Dali, I have to admit that you do have some skills, but they’re not that great.” Beruca laughed and chased after Hong Dali. As he chased after him, he said, “You’re really fortunate to have been picked as the Devil’s Chosen One. Unfortunately, it’s precisely because of your excellence that got you noticed by Sir Oracle! Run, run as fast as you can. Haha, I’ll see how far you can run!”
Looking at Beruca closing upon him, Hong Dali didn’t look worried. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile.
He had just received news from Cutie Ke!
“Dali, I got in successfully. No one has detected me yet and I’m now moving towards the seventh-level prison area.” Cutie Ke’s voice came through the communicator. “I’ll think of some way to get the key, all of you try to keep yourselves safe!”
“Got it,” Hong Dali replied softly.
When they decided to come, they didn’t think that they could defeat the top operatives. The disparity in strength between the individuals on both sides was huge, and the opponent also had more people. In addition, they had the powerful Seven Heavenly Kings secretly supporting them. It would not be so easy to win as they were weaker and also had fewer people.
Everything would be fine now, as long as Cutie Ke successfully rescued the warriors from the other dimensions who had been locked up. They would be able to start the real decisive battle, then.
“Brothers, fall back!” Now that Cutie Ke had successfully sneaked in, they no longer needed to risk their lives. Everyone retreated back to his position as soon as they heard his shout.
“Haha, you want to escape? Do you think you will be able to?” Beruca was not worried at all. He dashed straight toward Hong Dali but soon realized something was strange about him.
Behind Hong Dali, a space-time portal had opened.
“Oh? You can’t win, so you’re escaping?” Beruca burst out laughing. “It’s no use even if you run to the ends of the universe!”
Seeing that Hong Dali and his people had entered the space-time portal, Beruca led his two men and quickly followed them in.
They were talented and courageous. They knew they were more powerful than Hong Dali and his people. Even if Hong Dali tried to escape using a space-time portal, they would be able to defeat them if they followed.
However, they soon realized something was wrong…
When Beruca and his two men passed through the space-time portal, they found that all their strength had been locked. They could not use any of their abilities! They had become ordinary people!
“Hehe, you thought this Dimension Gate is just a transportation portal?” Hong Dali chuckled as he looked at Beruca and the other two. All the lackeys standing behind him were holding baseball bats and choppers.
“Since you’re here, don’t think of leaving.” Hong Dali looked at the panicked trio and smiled. “It’s no use even if you run to the ends of the universe!” Then, he waved suavely and said, “Attack!”
Previously on Prison Star, Li Yang and the others had been badly beaten by the three men. They had been like sandbags, and it was all they could do to stay alive. But things were different here. Everyone was on equal standing and no one was stronger than anyone else. However, Hong Dali had the advantage of greater numbers…
This became interesting. In this Enjoyment Dimension, the outcome of a fight did not depend on an individual’s skill. It depended on the number of people fighting.
When enemies met, as long as one was not too pathetically weak, the side with more people was bound to win. It was especially so since Hong Dali’s people were all armed.
“I like taking advantage of the fact that I have more people.” He gazed at Beruca and the two men who had been beaten up so badly they were unrecognizable. Hong Dali sniffled smugly. “Kill them and flush them down the toilet. They don’t belong here, anyway.”
