156: Chapter 156 Wei He Suffers Heavy Losses

"Hmph, if those little things hadn't harassed us and distracted us just now, how could we have let that scoundrel Wei He rescue them? Dying like this is too good for them!" Austin looked at the burning Rocket Troopers on the ground, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

After the three old fogies finished off the Rocket Troopers, they turned around to find that Wei He was no longer on the ground. Instead, anti-air infantry and anti-air tracked vehicles were continuously pouring into the Lords Mansion and the surrounding areas.

Anti-air shells flew from below toward the three of them, exploding around them. The shockwaves generated by the explosions were blocked by their Magic Shields.

"Hmph, overestimating your strength! You think you can stop us? All of you, die!" Emperor Alexander looked at the group below with uncontrollable rage. The lost bracelet in his hand flickered with a dazzling light. The originally pitch-black sky suddenly became bright, and countless beams of golden light descended from the heavens, shooting toward the ground.

On the ground, the anti-air tracked vehicles were hit one by one by the golden light and exploded. The soldiers inside were shaken to death by the shockwaves, and the anti-air infantry were also struck, their bodies shattering into several pieces.

"These troops of Wei He's... they don't retreat a single step even in the face of such a scene. This is terrifying. If we had such troops, we would have unified the world long ago!" Emperor Alexander sighed as he looked at the anti-air infantry on the ground.

"I see these people are just like those steel Puppet Beasts—they are all puppets. That's why they can move forward without fear of danger!" Austin replied slowly upon hearing Emperor Alexander's words.

"Even if they are Puppet Beasts, as long as there are enough of them, it would be sufficient to unify the world. I wonder how many such Puppet Beasts Wei He has!" Grand Duke James's eyes were also filled with shock as he murmured.

The four men, including Wei He, who were riding in an anti-air tracked vehicle, were also hit by the golden light. At the moment the vehicle exploded, several vines extended from Xie Yanwen's hands, tightly wrapping around Wei He. Ravich threw out a wind sphere that enveloped Wei He and Xie Yanwen. The edge of the sphere was composed of a wind wall; the shockwaves from the explosion could not penetrate it to harm Wei He. Zhang Yong, meanwhile, threw out his giant lotus, and countless petals drifted out to block the golden light's attack.

Before Wei He could even feel relieved, several beams of golden light struck toward him. Fortunately, the wind sphere blocked them, keeping Wei He safe for the moment. However, Ravich, who was already heavily injured, had his Magic Shield shattered by the golden light. His body was blasted into pieces by several beams, and he died on the spot. Within the system, Wei He could no longer see his health bar.

"He's dead... he's really dead. The health bar is gone. Ravich... Ravich is really dead!" Wei He looked at the fragments on the ground, and tears instantly flowed down his face.

The golden light continued to fall. Xie Yanwen had no time for grief and quickly used his vines to fling Wei He away. Wei He was wrapped into a ball by the vines, and the ball rolled away into the distance.

The moment the ball rolled away, Xie Yanwen's Magic Shield was shattered by the golden light. Several beams pulverized his body, and flesh and blood splattered across the street, his remains scattered all over the ground.

Inside the ball, although Wei He's vision was blocked by the vines and he couldn't see the scene outside, he saw on the system that Xie Yanwen's health bar had also vanished. He knew Xie Yanwen was dead too.

"You old scoundrels, you're dead meat now. No matter the cost, I will kill you!" Wei He's eyes became exceptionally fierce, his hands clenched tightly.

The ball rolled to Zhang Yong's feet. Zhang Yong was struggling to block the attacks with his giant lotus, but eventually, the giant lotus was pierced through by the golden light. Lotus fragments scattered on the ground, and Zhang Yong collapsed directly onto the ball.

When the sound of the brilliant golden light outside ceased, Wei He drew his Demon Blade and sliced open the ball. Everything outside that hadn't been affected by the nuclear explosion was now in ruins. On top of the ball, there was only a pool of bright red blood, along with bits of flesh and bone on the ground. At this moment, Wei He didn't even need to check the system to know what had happened.

Unable to dwell on his grief, he continued to carry his Demon Blade and walked toward the outskirts of the city. Fortunately, there were no longer any city walls in Laiseluo City. The three old fogies didn't immediately know where Wei He had left the city or which corner of the city he was hiding in.

"His Majesty's Forbidden Spell is unstoppable and peerless. Wei He must have died under it. Hahahaha!" Grand Duke James said triumphantly, looking at the piles of corpses beneath his feet.

"This Wei He has survived several deaths. He's incredibly lucky. Plus, with that terrifying recovery ability they showed earlier, it's hard to say for sure if he's dead!" Emperor Alexander stroked the lost bracelet, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes as he spoke slowly.

"Whether he's dead or not, let's go investigate. If we encounter Wei He and his troops, we'll just kill them on sight. With the lost bracelet, what do we have to fear? We can use the power of Forbidden Spells at will without restraint. Even if the killer who murdered William appears, they won't be a match for the lost bracelet!" Austin's eyes flashed with a hint of greed as he stared intently at the lost bracelet in Emperor Alexander's hand.

"Indeed! Without the lost bracelet, we wouldn't dare use Forbidden Spells lightly, as using one consumes more than half our energy. It's not worth the cost, and it takes a long time to recover to peak condition. But with the lost bracelet, there's no need to fear anymore. Hahahaha!" Grand Duke James also said with great excitement.

Emperor Alexander felt somewhat displeased seeing the greed in Austin's eyes. He said very cautiously, "Austin, you search for Wei He in the city. We will search outside. The three of us will act separately; we must not let Wei He leave here alive!"

"Yes, yes, we can't let Wei He leave here alive. Old Austin, don't you go slacking off! Hehehe!" Grand Duke James gave a simple, honest-looking smile and flew toward the outskirts of the city with Emperor Alexander.

"Tch, you're just afraid I'll try to take the lost bracelet. What 'separate actions'... hypocrites!" Austin patrolled the city slowly, muttering to himself.

Outside the city, Wei He was running rapidly. Although he had already arranged for a night hawk helicopter to pick him up, he couldn't stop. Finally, upon reaching the edge of a forest, a night hawk helicopter appeared in his sight.

As the night hawk helicopter slowly landed in front of him, Wei He, who had been running for so long, could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He slowly climbed onto the helicopter. The massive rotors began to spin rapidly, carrying Wei He toward the base.

"Hmm? what's that sound? I've never seen such a black bird before, and it makes such a strange noise. This strange occurrence must be related to Wei He. Let me go take a look; maybe I can find him!" Emperor Alexander, holding the lost bracelet glowing with purple light, watched the departing night hawk helicopter and spoke to himself.

He and Grand Duke James had agreed to search separately to increase the chances of finding Wei He. Moreover, Wei He's Supernatural Ability level was too low. Even if some dangerous person were protecting him, they wouldn't be a match for a Saint Archmage-level mage. Even if Grand Duke James couldn't defeat them, he could escape in time to find Emperor Alexander and report their location.
