Chapter 107: Encirclement and Kill
The colossal object appeared, and the tightly packed formation of the more than two hundred elite members of the Nuolanshan family, who were floating opposite it, instantly broke into chaos.
Commander Guli's facial muscles twitched violently, his eyes filled with terror.
He knew very well that turning around and running away in the face of a cosmic-level powerhouse would only lead to a quicker death. He raised his battle sword and used his roar to stabilize the morale of his troops, which was on the verge of collapse. His voice resounded throughout the entire army under the amplitude of primal energy.
"Don't panic."
"This plant life form just broke through by consuming rare and precious herbs, and its aura is not yet fully stable."
"We have two hundred level nine Heng Xing warriors, forming a defensive formation. As long as we can break through the vines, we will have a chance to survive."
On the other side, when the captain of the Three Axe Mountain, Tie Wei, saw the enormous Mo Yun Vine, he was first startled, then regained his composure and burst into loud laughter.
"Do you think this little bit of people can bridge the gap between the celestial and cosmic levels? How naive."
"Everyone at Sanfu Mountain, listen up! Open the encirclement!"
"Lord Mingyu instructed us to ensure the safety of Brother Hong and the others; none of these guys are to be allowed to escape."
Iron Guard's shout completely shattered the last escape route for the Nolan Mountain family. Under Guli's coercion, the two hundred elites had no choice but to grit their teeth and squeeze out all the genetic energy in their bodies.
Various colored energy rays merged in the air, attempting to coalesce into a defensive array.
Faced with the desperate struggle of more than two hundred people, Luo Feng gave instructions to Mo Yun Teng in his mind.
"Kill them all."
Upon receiving the command, the Moyun Vine emitted a low, resonant vibration.
Seventy-two dark red vines instantly transformed into long whips, tearing through the air with terrifying power and lashing heavily at the combined defensive barrier.
"Boom!"
With a crisp cracking sound, the defensive light shield collapsed in less than half a second under the brute force of the blow.
The rampaging vines plunged into the dense crowd.
The armor on those ninth-level Star-rank warriors and the shields in their hands were as fragile as paper at this moment.
Screams echoed continuously as each lash of the vines smashed several martial artists, armor and all, into a cloud of blood mist.
When the direct battlefield turned into a one-sided crushing defeat, several figures suddenly emerged from the deep pit below.
Thor's bald head was bulging with veins, and he gripped his battle sword tightly with both hands, unleashing a blinding lightning blade beam tens of meters long.
"Hahaha, you bunch of bastards had a good time up there, now it's my turn to loosen your bones."
The blade's edge slashed into the enemy formation.
Tainuo and Fuxi flanked the Nuolanshan team from the left and right, reaping the remaining soldiers whose morale had been shattered by the Moyunteng.
Seeing the team crumbling, Commander Guli never intended to fight to the bitter end from the very beginning.
He ordered his men to hold the front and draw fire, while he retreated to the rear of the formation.
Taking advantage of the moment when a vine whipped the dozen or so guards in front of him into pieces, Guli pushed his genetic energy to its limit, transforming into a dark green streak of light and fleeing into the depths of the ancient forest without looking back, instantly breaking through the edge of the battlefield's blockade.
The screams behind him grew weaker and weaker, and just as a sense of relief arose in his heart, the air in front of him suddenly distorted.
A compressed field, only ten meters in diameter, suddenly descended, like a black swamp, instantly robbing Guri of his perception of light and direction.
Hong, holding a black spear in one hand, stood in front of Guli's fleeing figure.
"You escaped pretty fast, but since you're here, you're going to live."
Guli abruptly stopped, knowing there was no way to avoid it.
"Hong, you're just a lucky native. If you dare kill me, our ancestors will turn your earth upside down and slaughter your entire race. If you know what's good for you, get out of my way."
As he roared, the remaining genetic energy within him was secretly being channeled into the battle blade in his right hand.
Hong shook his head indifferently and asked in return.
"Do you think Noranshan won't come looking for trouble on Earth if I don't kill you? Enough of your nonsense."
Before he could finish speaking, a fierce glint flashed in Guli's eyes, and he launched the first attack.
He sprang up instantly, his battle blade imbued with primal energy, transforming into a cyan blade that slashed furiously down towards Hong's head.
"Then let's die together."
Faced with this desperate counterattack, Hong did not back down an inch.
He focused his energy in his dantian, and the "Blood Blossom" secret technique within his body instantly activated, concentrating thirty-five times the force in his right arm.
His black spear met the attack head-on, its tip concentrating all its power into a single point.
"Zheng—"
A metallic clang resounded through the forest.
The blade light that Guli unleashed shattered like thin ice, bit by bit.
Hong's figure vanished instantly, and the next moment, he appeared behind Guli.
"Pfft."
The spear, carrying a spiraling force, pierced through Guli's chest from behind, tearing his heart into a pile of minced meat.
The life in Guli's eyes vanished quickly, his expression froze, and he fell heavily from mid-air, crashing into the soil.
With the death of Commander Guli, the remaining dozens of soldiers from Nolan Mountain immediately lost all will to resist.
Under the combined assault of Moyun Teng and the Three Axe Mountain squad, more than two hundred elite members of the Nuolan Mountain family were wiped out.
Hong calmly pulled the spear back from Guli's corpse and casually took off the spatial ring from the other's finger.
Luo Feng also put away the Moyun Vine, and the five members of the team quickly regrouped.
Iron Guard, the captain of Three Axe Mountain, landed in front of Hong with several deputies.
Having witnessed the terrifying power of the Moyun Vine and seen Hong cross ranks to instantly kill Guli, the Iron Guards became exceptionally polite.
"Brother Hong, the combat strength of your team is truly astonishing. No wonder Lord Mingyu specifically instructed us to protect you."
Iron Guard smiled and clasped his hands in a salute.
Since the other party had made the trip after all, Hong immediately picked out dozens of spatial rings from the spoils and tossed them to the Iron Guard.
He responded with a smile.
"Captain Iron Guard, you're too kind. Thank you for coming to our rescue. In the future, if we encounter any trouble in this realm within a realm, we will have to rely on the Three Axe Mountain for help."
Seeing that Hong was so responsive, Tie Wei was overjoyed and was about to exchange a few polite words.
Suddenly, his wristwatch emitted an urgent beep.
Tie Wei glanced down at the short message on the screen, his expression instantly turning serious.
He raised his head, looked at Hong, and said in a deep voice.
"Brother Hong, the situation has suddenly changed. Our undercover agents have sent an urgent report: Ninth Prince Brolin, relying on sheer numbers, has already mined ten million interdimensional ores. Just a few minutes ago, he obtained the password for the first layer of the inheritance crystal ball from that intelligent life form."
Upon hearing this news, both Hong and Luo Feng tensed up.
"They moved faster than I expected."
Hong quickly looked around, thinking to himself.
"We need to speed things up."
He made a quick decision and clasped his hands in farewell to the Iron Guard.
"Iron Guard Captain, we have other plans, so we won't be following the main force for now."
After saying that, Hong waved his hand, and the domain opened again, concealing the auras of all five members of the team.
Under the watchful eyes of the people of Sanfu Mountain, the five figures silently disappeared into the shadows of the forest.
