Beside the leader of the Dark Altar, Queen of Vengeance Bice, stood a man dressed as an Indian. His name was Nunez, and he was of pure Indian descent.
This man was also a super-powered individual. His ability lay in the javelin he held. In his hands, this javelin was like an RPG rocket launcher; within a hundred meters, he could hit any target he aimed at.
Furthermore, his javelin was no ordinary one. After hitting its target, it could explode, its effect truly comparable to an RPG rocket.
Of these two men, Taranto was saved by Bice when he was in mortal danger, while Nunez was persecuted and imprisoned, only to be discovered and rescued by Bice.
Both men were deeply grateful to Bice and impressed by her strength. After they pledged their loyalty to her, Bice administered them with Life Essence, which caused their abilities to advance by leaps and bounds.
Bice trusted these two men implicitly, and they accompanied her wherever she went.
Just moments ago, it was Taranto who had acted, his massive shield blocking the ice cones released by Aurora. Otherwise, those ice cones would have given Bice quite a bit of trouble if they had hit her.
Boris Gustav, facing them across the negotiation table, saw that the situation was deteriorating. He hadn't expected Ling Tian to resort to violence without a word. He then casually pressed a switch on the edge of the table.
The next moment, the floor beneath Gustav suddenly opened to the sides. Immediately, Gustav and the chair he was sitting on sank beneath the floor, and then the floor closed again.
Simultaneously, Boris's chair landed on a rail located beneath the floor. The rail immediately ejected the chair, and Boris was instantly propelled tens of meters away through an underground passage.
This was a contingency Boris had long planned. He knew very well that if those super-powered individuals attacked, he would be a sitting duck. Ling Tian would undoubtedly try to eliminate him quickly. The lunatics of the Dark Altar likely had no intention of protecting him, so his best course of action was to escape immediately.
Bice's expression was now unpredictable. Aurora's ice cone had greatly startled her. She could feel the power behind that ice cone, which indicated that Aurora's strength had progressed significantly since their time on Hell Paradise Island.
"Haha, Ms. Bice, it's been a while! I truly never expected you to collude with a despicable politician like Boris.
Have you forgotten that Prometheus, who caused your friend Arthur's death, was actually of the same ilk as Boris Gustav!
I can't believe you've fallen to such depths!"
"You, Ling Tian, are seeking death!" Bice's tone was outwardly calm, but beneath that calm lay a volcano on the verge of eruption. Clearly, Ling Tian's words had struck a nerve with Bice.
Arthur was Bice's Achilles' heel!
Back then, Arthur and Bice were both members of the Scepter of the Gods and had gone to Hell Paradise Island. Arthur was Bice's closest friend, and their relationship was on the verge of romance.
However, Arthur, as the team's deputy, had a dispute with Prometheus, the head of the US delegation, over certain matters. Prometheus directly killed Arthur.
When Bice learned of this, she was severely traumatized. Her rage made her lose her reason, and she completely blackened.
This transformation, in turn, allowed Bice to break through and gain immense power, thus giving birth to the Queen of Vengeance.
Bice later returned to the United States and killed Prometheus's family, as well as the individuals who had given Prometheus his orders. All of them had their Life Essence drained, turning them into mummified corpses!
Ling Tian, without any hesitation, had immediately poked at Bice's wounds with his "little stick," making it impossible for Bice to tolerate.
At this moment, Nunez, standing beside Bice, suddenly moved. He swiftly drew a javelin from his back. The motion of drawing and throwing the javelin was seamless. With a swift "shua," a javelin flew directly towards Ling Tian!
The javelin traveled at an incredibly high speed, truly comparable to a bullet.
However, when the javelin was less than half a meter from Ling Tian's body, Ling Tian extended both hands and drew a circle in the air before him.
Within this circle, the space rippled, and the javelin shot into the ripples and disappeared!
In reality, the javelin had entered Ling Tian's spiritual realm, flown within it for a period, and then fallen to the ground.
Ling Tian's current abilities were far from being able to reflect the javelin back, like A'Miao, performing a grand shift of heaven and earth.
However, being able to use the spatial abilities derived from his spiritual realm to create a spatial rift was enough to render most of his opponent's long-range attacks meaningless!
At this point, Ling Tian reached into his hand again. When he raised his hand once more, two talismans appeared in his hand. Ling Tian flicked his wrist, and one of the talismans whistled towards Nunez.
This Indian was ferocious. He directly drew another javelin from his back, preparing to shoot the fireball with it. Seeing this, Bice was terrified. She had witnessed the power of Ling Tian's Exploding Fire Talisman and let out a hysterical cry to warn him.
As quick as lightning, Taranto, holding his massive shield, swiftly shifted his feet. The entire person, along with the enormous shield, suddenly blocked in front of Nunez.
"Boom!"
The Exploding Fire Talisman detonated upon contact with the massive shield. The immense shockwave and heatwave swept outwards. If not for the shield's defense, Nunez would have had to withstand the impact of the fireball directly with his own body!
At this very moment, another talisman in Ling Tian's hand was activated. The burning talisman was slapped by Ling Tian directly onto Aurora's head.
The next instant, a special energy was transmitted from the talisman to Aurora's head. This energy directly affected Aurora's eyes, causing them to change instantaneously, as if she could see things that were normally imperceptible.
Ling Tian's talisman was a Clarity Talisman. This type of talisman could temporarily grant a person's eyes an ability akin to a pupil technique.
After activating the talisman, the user could see many things that ordinary people could not through their eyes. This item's effect was somewhat similar to a heavenly eye divine vision, albeit a weakened version, and it could only last for about ten minutes!
As soon as the talisman took effect, Aurora saw two black lines formed of energy suddenly shoot out from Bice's hands!
