Under the spear which had the prowess to tear open the heavens and the earth, violent gales encompassed the entire stretch of sky above the Sharp Swords troop, as if wanting to engulf them completely.
Faced with this Tiangang Realm expert’s attack, even the Sharp Swords troop was unable to show any capability of resisting.
However, just as this spear was about to annihilate the entire force, a human silhouette suddenly appeared before Li Anguo.
The human figure who had suddenly appeared was encompassed in a layer of red and black sleek exoskeleton armor.
It was an exoskeleton armor that was formed from superalloy and could fend off the direct attacks from a battleship’s main cannon. When facing even a nuclear missile with a low yield, as long as the target was not at the explosion point, they would only suffer slight injuries at most. The high-frequency saber which this newly arrived person was holding also emitted a faint glow as it trembled incessantly at a rate of several ten thousand times per second.
This was Eunuch Wang, who had activated the Universe Knight System with the lower specifications version. Although he was merely a Disha Realm expert, he had the confidence to fight against any Tiangang Realm expert after activating the Universe Knight System.
Seeing the weird person who had suddenly appeared and then sensing the 50 or more acupuncture points on him, a hint of disdain flashed on Li Anguo’s face and the powers of his mystic iron spear increased by a little.
“Scram!”
Faced with Li Anguo’s overwhelming aura, Eunuch Wang did not show any signs of fear. The parts of the exoskeleton armor on both sides of his shoulders opened up concurrently, revealing many things like cannon openings.
They were high-energy photon cannons.
Piercing white light covered up the entire sky, and in that instant, Li Anguo’s body was engulfed by scorching photon currents. Within the areas engulfed by the light currents, nuclear fusions kept on occurring as the photons collided. They brought along a large amount of heat energy and subatomic particles radiation, continuously attacking Li Anguo’s body.
The armor on the Jade Water Kirin and the mystic iron spear in Li Anguo’s hand was vaporized almost instantly. The Jade Water Kirin’s body kept on struggling intensely as its body kept on vanishing.
The scorching high temperature instantly vaporized 90% of the water content in Li Anguo’s body. His eyeballs were instantly destroyed, and he appeared as if he had been turned into a mummy. Explosions caused by nuclear fusions kept on occurring, tearing apart his flesh and bones.
The piercing white light continued on for 15 seconds. When the white light gradually dissipated, both Li Anguo and the Jade Water Kirin had already disappeared without a trace and could no longer be seen.
When Li Anguo was killed by an ineffable attack, the Steel Cavalry—that had lost over half of their forces—finally broke down. This world’s number one cavalry unit—that was said to be a terrifying force—was now like a bunch of shocked puppies scattering in all directions. Their gazes were filled with horror and astonishment.
However, they were still unable to escape from the blockade of death that the Sharp Swords troop put up. A series of metal tempest followed very quickly, harvesting their lives.
The countenance of the dignified-looking old man from the Yellow Sect changed drastically. He looked at the Sharp Swords troops with a gaze that was now filled with killing intent. He was also feeling extremely wary toward Eunuch Wang, who was covered in black and red armor.
The beautiful young married lady who led the forces from the Twelve Alliance also frowned. The 200 Disha Realm cultivators instantly stopped in their tracks.
However, even though they managed to come to a stop, the rest of the 200,000 men could not instantly do the same. Instead, the entire allied army instantly entered a state of chaos. Some of the soldiers stopped while others charged on, and a huge gap appeared between them.
When the allied army started charging from Lihe City, Ning Baichuan gave the order to open the city gates and for the generals working under him to charge out.
However, the army had just charged out when Ning Baichuan’s countenance changed drastically upon seeing the stream of piercing white light in the sky. He started to have a hint of regret.
“Li Anguo has already reached the Tiangang Realm, but he died so easily? Who on earth is that person?” Ning Baichuan said as he stared at the figure in the sky. “To think that aside from Marie who is at the Tiangang Realm, the imperial court still has other Tiangang Realm experts…”
Wang Daoyuan appeared worried as well. “A Tiangang Realm expert can fight against several hundred thousand Xiantian Realm cultivators. To think that the imperial court sent out two of them at one go…”
Just as the two of them were feeling worried, a middle-aged man dressed in yellow robes suddenly appeared behind them.
“Th two of you don’t have to worry. Although Lord Li Anguo has fallen, the allied forces will still be victorious in this battle.”
Seeing the yellow-robed man’s sudden appearance, Ning Baichuan’s gaze swept across the prints on the man’s yellow robes and asked, “You’re from the Yellow Sect?”
“That’s right. I’m the Hall Master of the Yellow Sect’s Clearwater Hall. I’ve come to look for the two of you regarding the spreading of our religion in Li Region.”
Wang Daoyuan exchanged a glance with Ning Baichuan. Then he immediately slapped his chest and said, “The Li Region is now in danger and will need to rely on the assistance of your esteemed sect. If we can defeat the imperial court’s army, your sect can freely spread your religion in the entire Li Region.”
“Haha,” the Clearwater Hall’s Hall Master smiled and said, “This time around, our sect isn’t the only one who has made a move. However, our Yellow Sect only wants the right to spread our religion. However, the other feudal vassals’ thanks will be considered separately.”
On the other side, the imperial court’s army raised their longspears and drew their bows that had arrows attached, displaying an all-rounded defense formation.
Only the Sharp Swords team was different. This 1,000-man team started moving.
Assisted by the exoskeleton armors, their running speed could be compared to that of sports cars, yet they were still able to nimbly decelerate, accelerate, turn, or make emergency stops. The entire team moved at rapid speed while continuing to fire their rifles. Even though they were 1,000 meters away from their allied forces, they still continued to take their targets’ lives like they were harvesting wheat.
“Keep your distance!
“Don’t give chase too closely.
“Kill them all slowly.”
Wang Tian’s brutal voice rang out from the communication device. The entire Sharp Swords force was like a sharp blade, continuing to harvest lives and slice off flesh from the enemy forces.
Encompassed by the Sharp Swords troop’s firepower, the bodies of rows of soldiers were torn apart, falling into pools of their own blood. Occasionally, Disha Realm experts would dash up toward them, but they would also be instantly torn into shreds by the crossing firepower.
Ordinary soldiers were completely defenseless before them.
The Yellow Sect’s old man frowned. He immediately noticed what the issue was. He immediately commanded in a loud voice, “Gather all the Disha Realm cultivators together. Also, go contact the Twelve Alliance and get all the Disha Realm cultivators from the other allied forces to come over here!”
Although he was not sure why this black-armored army’s weapons had such great prowess, he could tell that they must unite a batch of Disha Realm cultivators to deal with this army. They would have to rely on powerful cultivators to collectively charge out and engage them in close combat to have a chance of winning against them.
Otherwise, they would slowly be taken down and defeated gradually.
As for the mysterious person who had suddenly appeared and killed Li Anguo, the old man knew that they would naturally need Tiangang Realm experts to deal with such an existence.
Just as the allied forces gathered all of their Disha Realm cultivators together, Xiao Shen furrowed his brows deeply when he saw this scene from the sky. He knew that all of their earlier guesses were wrong. Those metal hidden weapons were not actually hidden weapons but a great type of killing tool that had a terrifying prowess.
‘To think that the imperial court has developed a weapon that can allow Xiantian Realm cultivators to possess Disha Realm cultivators’ destructive prowess…’ Xiao Shen frowned as he watched the allied forces being subjected to the massacre. He felt increasingly frustrated.
‘And that guy who killed Li Anguo… He’s only a Disha Realm cultivator, which means the imperial court has even developed a weapon that can allow Disha Realm cultivators to kill Tiangang Realm cultivators.’
At the thought of this, Xiao Shen’s heart continued to sink.
