Chapter 740: This Is My Turf

Zhang Ye’s eyes were as cold as the eternal snow of the Arctic tundra.

Being betrayed filled him with overwhelming rage.

But at the same time, his mind remained crystal clear—he didn’t let emotion cloud his judgment.

Maybe it was because he had witnessed too much twisted human nature in the apocalypse that betrayal, by now, almost felt like a norm.

“Good thing I stayed hidden well enough,”

Zhang Ye thought to himself.

The enemy had underestimated his strength and failed to prepare sufficient firepower.

“Besides… this is my turf!”

“Let’s see who’s the hunter, and who’s the prey today!”

He opened a new comms channel and said quietly,

“Do it.”

The Dragon Pirate Crew and Eclipse Moon had just started to move in for the kill, intending to wipe out the Celestial Hound Squad, who couldn’t escape from the Imprisoning Domain.

But right at that moment, a massive explosion erupted beneath their feet!

A towering shockwave blasted up from the ground, launching pirate corpses high into the sky.

Beneath their location, over a hundred meters underground—

Sat a massive three-story shelter covering tens of thousands of square meters!

The place they were standing on was called Chaoyu Harbor.

Post-apocalypse, this place had become a military-grade base. Chen Jingguan had buried countless traps and explosives all around the harbor.

That was one of the contingencies Zhang Ye had left behind.

“This is Tianhai City!”

“My home turf!”

Zhang Ye said coldly.

The Dragon Pirate Crew and Eclipse Moon were caught completely off guard.

And before they could regroup, a blizzard descended from the skies—snow and wind howling, severely obstructing their vision.

Phoenixin Ren squinted, “Something’s off.”

Among the Dragon Pirates, one of their scouts—an Awakened—sensed where the anomaly originated.

He turned to Kanut in a panic and said,

“Captain! We’ve got enemies suddenly showing up to the northeast and northwest!”

Kanut’s voice dropped, “Where the hell did they come from?!”

When they had first arrived in Tianhai City, they’d searched every corner for locals, planning to plunder their resources—

But found nothing. Not a single living soul.

So now—where did these new forces come from?

They were none other than the reinforcements from the Yangsheng Base and Qingpu Base.

Uncle You and Fatty Xu were also in the mix.

From the very beginning, Zhang Ye had anticipated that this battle might be extremely difficult.

So he had instructed the major bases ahead of time:

Once the fight began, all allied forces were to stay close and await his command.

After all, it made no sense for the boss to be fighting for his life up front while his men sat at home doing nothing.

Zhang Ye had ordered Xiao Honglian’s group to disrupt enemy visibility in the area and create chaos—

But not to actually approach the battlefield!

He knew his allies' power levels clearly.

Xiao Honglian led dozens of warriors to a nearby vantage point.

Fatty Xu and Zhuge Qingtin combined forces, conjuring blizzards and storms to create confusion, helping Zhang Ye find a way out.

Uncle You quietly set up his GPW Series II Anti-Material Sniper Rifle, a gift from Zhang Ye, and began sniping pirates from high ground.

Fatty Xu voiced his concern:

“Boss told us not to get close... but with just this level of interference, is it really going to work?”

They didn’t look like much in number, and the ones with real combat power were even fewer.

There weren’t even ten Awakened among them.

Bluffing was one thing—but if it came to a real fight, they wouldn’t last.

Sure enough, the explosion at Chaoyu Harbor only stunned the Dragon Pirate Crew and Eclipse Moon for a brief moment.

Once they regained their composure, they quickly realized that the sudden "reinforcements" weren’t from Blizzard City—

They were just Tianhai City’s local survivors.

That immediately put their minds at ease.

Kanut sneered,

“Just some bottom-feeders. They’re not gonna make a dent.”

He quickly deployed a squad to deal with Xiao Honglian, Xing Tian, and the rest of Tianhai City’s natives.

Then led his Awakened subordinates to join forces with Eclipse Moon, intending to first eliminate Zhang Ye’s trapped squad.

But under cover of the blizzard, no one saw what Zhang Ye was doing.

He took a deep breath. He knew—it was time to go all in.

The enemies he faced today weren’t going to be easy.

“Good thing… I’ve never shown my real trump card.”

Zhang Ye stood in the center of the cage.

He brought his hands together, forming a sphere in the air.

A bolt of black lightning suddenly began to gather between his palms.

Crack-crack!

More and more lightning coiled together—growing thicker and denser, twisting like black serpents slithering across the air.

The terrifying energy made Baili Changqing and the others instinctively widen their eyes and take several steps back.

Only Liang Yue, Huahua, and Yang Xinxin knew what that power really was.

They formed a tight guard around Zhang Ye, allowing no one to disturb him.

That mass of unstable black matter grew denser and denser, eventually condensing into a huge dark orb in Zhang Ye’s palms.

Then, following his hand movements, he slowly compressed it—

Until it was the size of a volleyball.

“Everyone, get clear!”

Zhang Ye shouted.

The Celestial Hound Squad members quickly scattered.

He hurled the orb high into the air, then instantly activated 20x acceleration.

Leaping over three meters high, he slammed his right fist into the Void Sphere!

Whoosh!

The black sphere tore through space, pierced right through the invisible prison,

And headed straight toward Kanut’s position!

At that exact moment—Kanut, still busy issuing orders, suddenly sensed danger.

His beastly instincts screamed at him that something lethal was closing in.

But he was too close—less than a kilometer from Zhang Ye.

His flawed assessment of Zhang Ye’s strength led him to not dodge.

Instead—he took it head-on!

With a shrill roar, the enormous shark maw opened wide!

He tried to tank the blow with his massive, armored body.

Because behind him stood Chen Siyu, the caster of the Imprisoning Domain.

In the next instant,

The entire area was swallowed by a massive black sphere rising from the ground!

It was a colossal orb, hundreds of meters in radius, radiating an aura of utter destruction.

Even Phoenixin Ren and the others atop a nearby hill turned pale in shock at its power.

“Woooooaaaaaah!!!!”

A low, pained howl echoed from within the sphere.

Kanut’s massive body was blasted skyward from inside it, then came crashing down in the distance.

He was covered in blood—battered and utterly wretched.

Gruesome wounds crisscrossed his body.

His armor-like scales, once as tough as alloy, had been ripped apart like wet paper—

As if tens of thousands of blades had violently shredded his flesh open.
