"Last three kilometers to the battlefield!"
The dull explosions suddenly became deafening. Heatwaves and blasts made the crystal airship seem to be in the middle of a stormy sea.
After the Cultivators finished the final examination of the magical equipment, Li Yao and the mentors who were good at using the Crystal Suit came to the landing platform at the rear of the crystal airship.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! "
Dozens of light balls darted out from the rear of the crystal airship. Then, they burst out with even more dazzling brilliance and pierced into the black fog like shining swords!
The black fog was like a weird creature made of thousands of mosquitoes. It wriggled and approached Li Yao.
Li Yao felt that he was inside the internal organs of a giant demon beast. He was suffocating.
"Beep beep beep!"
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit sent out alarms. The density of the demonic energy here was very high. It would corrode the Crystal Suit and the human body and cause serious damage.
Li Yao sniffed. Spiritual gas burst out of his body and formed a thin protective layer on the surface of the crystal armor, pushing the demonic energy away.
Then, his spiritual energy surged and he moved as fast as lightning!
While his crystal processor was still connected to the Spiritual Nexus, he quickly downloaded the mission information.
The holograms of all the buildings above and below ground in the Western District of Red Lotus City, the translucent 3D structural design, the structural design of the Taiyi Lightning Railgun, and the flow chart of spiritual energy.
A lot of information was downloaded to the crystal processor. Then, it was quickly absorbed and digested by him through telepathic thoughts.
"Pu! Pu! Pu! "
In the middle of the demonic energy, three streams of bright green liquid suddenly darted out from the ground dozens of meters below and darted toward Li Yao's chest.
It was a counterattack launched by the demons on the ground after sensing the spiritual waves in the sky.
Li Yao didn't slow down at all. Even the intensity of his spiritual shield didn't increase. The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit spurted out the most brilliant flames. They interweaved and formed a beautiful net of light.
As it turned out, he had turned dozens of times in the blink of an eye and narrowly avoided the three streams of corrosive acid.
Li Yao's eyes blinked. Based on the trajectories of the three streams of acid, the crystal camera analyzed the enemy's location.
He stretched out his right hand. He opened his hand, and a hexagonal crystal in his palm suddenly flashed. A beam of white light shot out of his hand, and turned into a sharp arrow, whistling through the air.
The spiritual energy that shot the arrow of light didn't come from the crystal reactor.
Instead, Li Yao had compressed his Spirit Qi to the limit, and with the enhancement and acceleration of the talisman in the crystal, he was able to break through three times the speed of sound. It was a spiritual energy attack!
The white light pillar seemed to be as thick as a bowl, but in fact, the spirit energy in the center had been compressed to the thickness of a needle tip. The surrounding light was caused by the high-speed vibration and friction of the floating particles in the air.
The surging spiritual energy was compressed to the size of a needle tip and spurted out at three times the speed of sound. It was not hard to imagine how powerful it was.
This was the strength of a peak Refinement Stage cultivator!
A violent explosion came from within the demonic fog, and there seemed to be a heart-wrenching scream.
However, Li Yao couldn't be bothered to check the results of the battle. It was as if he had casually swatted a fly, and he continued to concentrate on the battle. He rushed forward.
The closer they got to the city, the stronger the anti-air firepower they encountered.
Demonic Beasts were originally created to be killing machines for war.
In the thirty thousand years of conquest, civil war, and elimination in the Demon Beast Empire, their killing instinct had evolved to the extreme.
The organs of many demon beasts. In itself, it was a weapon with unparalleled power.
They could even swallow crystals and unleash powerful electric currents, flames, acids, venoms, blasts, and mental attacks.
The sky of Red Lotus City was like a boiling pot. Any target flying in the air, be it a demon or a Cultivator, would suffer devastating attacks.
Li Yao had to lower his altitude and leap forward in the downtown area filled with skyscrapers. He was getting closer to his destination.
"Hang in there!"
He gritted his teeth. His eyes were bloodshot. He stomped on the ground, and a three-story hole was blown out by him.
…
In the West District of Red Lotus City.
This used to be a densely populated business district. But at this moment, it had turned into ruins.
There were broken walls, bumpy streets, and burning shuttles everywhere. Of course, there were also bloodstains that had dried up long ago. Black silhouettes were formed.
In front of a collapsed skyscraper, a half-underground barricade had been set up. It boasted solid defense rune arrays and two fixed flying sword bases.
Red Lotus City was one of the northernmost towns of the Federation. The possibility of street battles had been considered when the city was first built. Therefore, it was built in a semi-military style.
Such barricades were hidden everywhere in the city. They were usually hidden underground. Once the beast tide broke into the downtown area, they would surface and form a defense line.
A crystal tank carrying a Taiyi Lightning Railgun was attacked by the demon beasts during its march. It fled to this place in panic. Together with the soldiers stationed in the barricade, they were struggling to survive with the help of the defense rune arrays.
What they were faced with was an army of demon beasts.
The scene in front of the soldiers was like the most horrible nightmare.
A double-headed serpent as thick as a bucket had its head stuck between a human and a snake. It was wearing a grotesque expression.
A beetle even larger than a crystal tank was waving a giant scythe more than three meters long in the wind.
A head that was more than two meters long poked out of the turtle shell that was covered in thorns. It was covered in starry spots, and there were two long antennae on its head that were crackling and emitting dazzling electric arcs from time to time.
Although the flying swords had minced countless demon beasts, more demon beasts were still coming.
The defense rune arrays were shivering under their collisions. They were like dry leaves in the middle of a surging tide that could be ripped apart, swallowed, and obliterated at any moment.
"Pa!"
A thunderous noise echoed from a storm bolter. It turned out that the rune arrays had been triggered too many times within a short period of time. The barrel of the storm bolter was twisted and seriously damaged because of the overload.
The seasoned soldier who was operating the storm bolter spat on the ground. His eyes red, he tried to grab the gun, only to find nothing.
"Ammunition is running out!"
"Flying swords have been launched, too!"
"The intensity of the defense rune arrays is plummeting. It is estimated that they will last no more than three minutes!"
One bad news after another was thrown into the burning eyes of the soldiers like dry firewood. The flames in their eyes were burning more and more fiercely. Their faces gradually turned crazy, too.
"Chainswords, get ready!"
The seasoned soldier wiped the mud on his face and gnashed his teeth.
But the tide in front of his eyes was split into two by an invisible force.
An aggressive shadow was swimming close unhurriedly. When it was still dozens of meters away, demonic energy had already swept over and squeezed the defense rune arrays like an invisible giant hand.
Creaking noises came from the defense rune array. One after another, the runes suddenly lit up and then died out silently.
All the soldiers felt that their hearts were sinking into a bottomless abyss.
It was as if they were in an old and dilapidated submarine that had sunk thousands of meters into the deep sea. They could only quietly listen to the heavy pressure of the seawater slowly ravaging the shell of the submarine, like a child ravaging an egg.
"It's … a demon general."
Finally, someone uttered the answer with a pale face in desperation.
Faced with a large group of mediocre demon beasts or even low-level demon soldiers, they might have been able to pick up their chainswords and defend the last glory of the Union Army.
But faced with a demon general, all their efforts were as meaningless as a mantis charging at a crystal tank.
The demon general was like a hybrid of a human being and a boa. Above his abdomen, he gradually turned into the shape of a human being that was covered in tiny scales, but he had six slender, long limbs. In the hazy fog, he looked like a raging spider.
"Crack!"
The demon general spat out a cluster of deep purple light the size of a date stone. It slowly flew to the defense rune arrays and immediately burst out thousands of electric arcs, tearing the defense rune arrays into pieces!
Right now, there was only fifty meters between the barricade and the beast tide.
"Swoosh!"
A Crystal Suit fell between the barricade and the beast tide like a meteor.
On the surface of the dark gray armor, vague golden light was flowing. At first glance, it looked crude and wild. But if one were to observe carefully, they would discover the tiny scales hidden deep inside the armor, which made the Crystal Suit covered in a layer of faint halo all the time.
"Chi!"
A large amount of spiritual gas spurted out from the air conduction slots of the Crystal Suit and condensed into a vivid, substantial, bright gold giant eagle above his head. The eagle shrieked and pierced the sky, emitting an intimidating aura.
"It's a Cultivator!"
"Our Cultivator is finally here!"
"What an intimidating aura. Is that the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit? Isn't the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit a Crystal Suit specially designed for low-level Cultivators? Why is he so intimidating? "
The beast tide was intimidated by the Crystal Suit. Like waves crashing into solid rocks on the beach, the beast tide retreated helplessly after being smashed into pieces.
The demon general narrowed his dirty eyes, too. The scales all over his body were rustling, and his six arms were shivering uneasily.
"Six-Armed Naga Demon?"
Inside the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Li Yao smiled.
Two years ago, in the battle of Verdant Tarn City, the hunting squad that Li Yao, Zhao Tianchong, and the rest of the team had encountered a heavily wounded Six-Armed Naga Demon.
At that time, they had tried their best and only managed to kill the Naga Demon after the explosion of ten Hellfire-Lightnings, which had almost cost them their lives.
At that time, the terror of the demon general had been deeply engraved in Li Yao's heart.
Even later, when he encountered another demon general in the Thunderous Sound Mountain, Li Yao didn't feel so intimidated.
Two years later, when he encountered the Six-Armed Naga Demon again, it was completely different.
"Demon general, so what? Go to hell! "
Glamorous flames spurted out of the back of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. More than fifty power rune arrays were activated at the same time. Through subtle angle adjustments, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was able to reach a speed even higher than that of a super shuttle.
The Wind Slasher Battle Saber, which had been redesigned and integrated with four marrow crystals, was unsheathed. The giant eagle of spiritual gas in midair shrieked and entangled the edge of the saber, turning into a saber aura more than seven meters long.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!"
"CRACK!"
A small thunderstorm seemed to be rolling on the tip of the saber.
There were no tricks at all. It was pure strength.
