But the fighting spirit in his eyes remained burning, and the purple flames of the Dragon Slayer Sword never extinguished.
“You’re crazy.”
The soldier, panting and filled with disbelief, thought, “Why do they insist on fighting so hard, risking their lives and wounds, when they could retreat or defend themselves?”
David raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his smile indifferent yet piercingly stubborn: “Hiding will never win against a strong enemy. Only by fighting to the death can we break the deadlock.”
Begitu selesai berbicara, dia langsung menyerang maju lagi dengan pedangnya, cahaya pedang ungu menebas udara.
Petarung itu mengertakkan giginya dan mengangkat tinjunya untuk menangkis, dan keduanya terpukul mundur bersamaan. Jarak di antara mereka terus menyempit, dan keseimbangan pertempuran perlahan bergeser.
Realizing that he could not delay any longer, and defeat was inevitable if he stalled, a vicious glint appeared in his eyes as he desperately activated his trump card.
Semua pola emas gelap di tubuhnya berkumpul di dadanya, menunjukkan bahwa energi vitalnya sedang terbakar dan terkuras.
“Tubuh Abadi Yang Murni, Tingkat Ketiga – Pemusnahan!”
His body suddenly swelled, his muscles bulging and his blood vessels clearly visible as he crawled, a terrifying pressure that could destroy the world swept out in all directions, the earth cracked, and rocks shattered into dust.
Mata prajurit itu merah, kulitnya pucat, dan suhu tubuhnya sangat tinggi. He gathered all his life essence and condensed it into a white fist capable of destroying the world, intending to end the battle with one move and perish together.
Melihat hal ini, David tidak mundur atau menghindari situasi tersebut, melainkan memilih untuk bertarung sampai tewas.
He plunged his sword into the ground, formed hand seals, and mobilized all the chaos origin, chaos fire, chaos thunder, and spatial power in his dantian. He combined the four powers into one, poured out all his strength, and exploded the ultimate mystery that he had comprehended when he reached the third rank of True God.
“Chaos – The Beginning of Heaven and Earth!”
Sebuah bola cahaya ungu seukuran kepalan tangan mengembun di telapak tangannya. Sekilas tampak tidak berarti, tetapi bola itu mengandung kekuatan primordial langit dan bumi, mengguncang kehampaan dan menekan segala arah.
Dua kekuatan pamungkas, satu ungu dan satu putih, bertabrakan dengan raungan yang memekakkan telinga.
There was no loud noise, no powerful shockwave, just two forces devouring each other, annihilating, fighting, and stalemate. The world was silent, and the atmosphere was very tense.
David felt excruciating pain as his meridians tore, his dantian shook as if it was about to explode, and his essence and blood continued to flow out, leaving him almost exhausted; the fierce battle quickly drained his lifeblood, causing his body to shrink, his lines to dim, and his vitality to erode.
Keduanya meraung bersamaan, mengerahkan kekuatan terakhir yang tersisa.
A moment later, the ball of light exploded!
The circular shockwave swept across an area hundreds of feet wide, eroding several feet of land, shattering rocks, collapsing camps, and leaving barren land in ruins.
David terjatuh dengan keras ke dalam jurang yang dalam, seluruh tubuhnya terasa sakit dan tak berdaya, tak mampu bergerak. Only his eyes remained shining as he muttered, “I haven’t lost, I can’t die.”
The mighty warrior was slammed into a stone wall, his chest was penetrated by the power of chaos, his internal organs were damaged, his life force was scattered, and he lay kneeling on the ground, seriously injured and unable to fight any longer.
On the other hand, Jiang Xuelan endured the devastating impact of the drain of her spiritual power and once again condensed an ice sword light, severely injuring the Sage Swordsman.
Zhi Zhan kehabisan energi vital dan darahnya, terluka parah, dan tidak mampu bertarung lagi, dipenuhi rasa takut dan cemas.
The two generals were seriously injured and their combat power was completely exhausted. The morale of the Divine Race elite troops collapsed instantly, and they lost all will to fight. They scattered and fled for their lives, no longer daring to fight.
The strategist gritted his teeth and spat out one word: “Retreat!”
The two generals helped each other to their feet and retreated inside the prison gates in a sorry state, with the remaining soldiers following behind them in flight, and the defense line completely collapsed.
Despite his injuries, David raised his hand to stop the allied forces from pursuing them: “There’s no need to chase. Prioritize saving lives and avoid causing unnecessary trouble.”
Elder Qingxuan and Lin Yuan immediately led their team to attack, breaking through the barrier and entering the heart of the Northern Underworld Prison.
Old Zhao slashed at the remaining enemies with his battle axe, the tall, skinny man used his folding fan to finish them off, the middle-aged man used two swords to finish off the enemies, and Old Xu stayed to protect the team. The allied forces advanced like a whirlwind, opening a path unimpeded.
They reached the third level of the prison, broke open the cell doors, and cut through the shackles. Hundreds of prisoners from various ethnic groups were released from their confinement and, with tears in their eyes, fell to their knees to express their gratitude.
David leaned against the wall, looking at his compatriots who had regained their freedom, a faint smile on his lips, and a sense of peace in his heart.
In this battle, they managed to break through the Northern Dungeon and rescue thousands of prisoners.
But he was well aware that the powerful enemy had not been defeated, the two supreme elders of the divine race were still in seclusion, and the real battle of life and death was still to come.
Today is just the beginning; the upcoming battle will be much tougher and more dangerous.
As night fell, two distinct moons hung high in the night sky, one silver and one red, their cold light casting a desolate and cold aura over the barren land.
David and Jiang Xuelan, supporting each other, covered in blood and walking heavily, slowly walked out of the prison gate.
Behind them, followed by their rescued comrades and well-organized Allied troops. The column moved slowly and steadily, their hearts filled with hope.
