Li Xiang bathed in the blue light. A player's advancement was an all-around improvement, including their physique, the concentration of magic particles in their body, the mastery of their combat skills, and so on. He felt as if he had leaped to a new realm, and the shadowy form that he had not been able to use before was finally easy to use.
The magic particles in his body slowly gathered together and lit up layer by layer. The Paradise of Annihilation, which had switched to its shadowy form, emitted a dark glow. With a loud bang, a beam of light wrapped around a special bullet flew out of the barrel and into the black fog in the sky.
The spear with boundless power pierced through the void and shot straight into the boundless starry sky.
In his field of vision, it was a terrifying Great Wall of Disaster in the shape of a turtle. There were a dozen or so sharp bone spikes protruding from its shell. They were hundreds of meters long and pierced the sky like sharp swords. Dark balls of energy condensed at the tip of the bone spikes, and every time they shot out, they would cause the Great Wall of Disaster to tremble violently.
The bone spear swept across and pulled a Night Watcher out of the void. It pierced through his abdomen and cut him into pieces, almost cutting him in half at the waist.
The Night Watcher swung the giant spiked club in his hand with all his might, smashing the head of the giant turtle and causing a large dent in it.
"Roar!"
The giant tortoise's roar tore through the void. It was filled with pain and despair. The club had knocked it dizzy, and the spear that followed had seized the opportunity to tear it into two amidst the roar that shook the void.
The rapidly falling Night Watcher smiled at Li Xiang with relief, and then was drowned in the endless wave of mutants.
This was a war on the level of a Holy War, and even the Night Watchers could not escape the threat of death.
As the war heated up, the number of players and Disasters that died on both sides skyrocketed, and the number of defenders and mutants that died both inside and outside the walls was uncountable.
Now, both sides were only left with the most primitive impulse to kill.
A beautiful white figure stood on top of the giant turtle's broken corpse.
Compared to the giant turtle's body, she was as small as a bee, but in an instant, she moved like lightning and flew directly toward Li Xiang.
"Boom!"
The white dress fluttering in the wind slammed heavily into an invisible barrier. This barrier was incomparably tough, and it actually managed to block her charge.
Before the thousand-teeth shadow could stand firm, she felt a burst of sword light flashing. The extremely sharp sword Qi pierced through her body, causing her skin to ache. An equally beautiful figure landed safely, standing in front of her and the barrier.
"Your opponent is me." Rita held a black longsword in her hand. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, making her look like a goddess of war. The assassin's aura was getting closer and closer, making it hard for Li Xiang to breathe.
Li Xiang and Rita looked at each other and immediately rushed to the other battlefields. Level 6 and above battles were still too far away for Li Xiang.
After a few days of not seeing each other, Rita noticed that the phantom had undergone many subtle changes.
Her white dress fluttered in the wind, and her face that had always been as calm as the sea finally showed a glimmer of intelligence unique to humans. She was very tall, half a head taller than Rita. After her humanization, she was born with an enchanting beauty that was indescribable, enough to capture people's hearts.
Especially her pair of astonishingly long legs, with distinct lines, lustrous skin, and full of elasticity. Paired with the black stockings that outlined her absolute territory, it was enough to make people drool.
The phantom with a thousand fangs did not reply. Instead, she kicked her leg over her head and a pink light flashed under her skirt. Following that, she pressed her long leg down forcefully. With a surge of strength, a crescent-shaped black blade appeared in the air. It was mixed with countless howling ghosts as it slashed towards Rita.
Rita turned the sword in her hand, and a flash of sword light instantly appeared, clashing with the thousand-teeth shadow. The sound of air being torn apart filled the battlefield.
This was a battle of the highest level. Once they started fighting, the others consciously distanced themselves from the area.
The thousand-teeth shadow's leg technique was extremely powerful, sometimes like a battle axe, sometimes like a heavy hammer. Every time she lifted her leg, it would form a black crescent-shaped blade that swept in all directions. If one was careless and was cut by the crescent-shaped blade, no matter who it was, they would instantly be beheaded and die a violent death.
This battle lasted for a few days. It was not only the battle between Rita and the thousand-teeth shadow, but also the battle between the Night Watchers and the Calamities in the sky.
In the end, Li Xiang fought until the sky was dark and the earth was dark. He could not even lift his hands, but he did not dare to stop, afraid that if he stopped, he would not want to move anymore.
He had never experienced such a deep sense of exhaustion since he came to this world. It was torturous, and it made people despair to their bones.
Many of the city guards were so numb that they could not even lift their weapons. In the end, they simply stood still and waited to be killed, ending this long and painful battle.
It was not until the sky changed from night to day that Fei Yujing's figure appeared on the horizon. She looked deeply at Li Xiang, who was standing proudly in a pool of blood, and stopped this bloody battle.
There was no cheering, no joy, no celebration.
There was only a deathly silence and an endless night.
In the first battle, nearly a third of the Night Watchers had fallen, and less than a tenth of the city guards had survived. The originally lively Great Wall of Disaster was now as silent as the sea.
Those who were still alive did not even have the strength to clean up the corpses. They just fell into a deep sleep in the sea of blood and mountains of corpses.
When they woke up the next day, they did not know if they could still live.
A sorrowful atmosphere gradually became dazzling.
Those dilapidated mechanical creatures stood on the city wall. They were probably the only things that still had spirit and strength.
They did not know fatigue or pain, just like the mutants. However, the number of the first batch was far from enough to resist the mutant tide. After this bloody battle, the mechanical creatures were almost completely annihilated.
Li Xiang fell on the city wall and staggered, almost losing his balance.
The tip of his nose was filled with the familiar smell of machinery and oil. The thick outer shell of the city wall cracked slightly, revealing the mechanical layer inside. He leaned against the city wall and looked at the empty surroundings. There were only corpses around him. He sighed deeply.
Was there really no hope left for the human camp?
Were the seven continents really not worth fighting to the death?
In Li Xiang's memory, there were those despicable enemies. There were those who would trample on everyone for their own benefit. There were those who treated life as nothing. There were those who were ferocious like tigers in internal wars and cowardly like dogs in external wars. But most of them were those who were worthy of his protection, people whom he cherished.
Otherwise, why would these city guards be willing to defend the Great Wall of Disaster to the death even after being exiled here? They would not let these enemies take a single step past the wall.
No matter how vicious and evil a person was, they still had family and things they wanted to protect. This belief supported the Great Wall of Disaster.
"We will not lose this battle."
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes and panted heavily. Overexerting himself so soon after his advancement was not a good thing for cultivation, but he could not care less.
If he could not survive, then everything would be for nothing.
Even the Night Watchers who were stronger and more experienced than him had fallen. What guarantee did he have that he could live longer?
He could only fight.
As long as he lived, the battle would not stop.
A small, swaying figure walked over from afar. Following her was a woman covered in wounds.
Mechanical Mi Cha had also survived. She seemed to have become even more different.
This was the first mechanical creature that Li Xiang had created after his advancement using the mysterious metal workbench. With Baimiya as the blueprint, he had consulted many of her suggestions and body data. It could be said that she was almost a mechanical replica of Baimiya.
Following Lori, she had even slowly evolved consciousness and intelligence. He had only seen this in the Queen of Pain.
Mechanical Mi Cha picked up Lori, who had almost fallen, and continued walking.
Lori had become much more mature. She was completely different from the young lady that he had first met. Although she was only a Level-3 Magician, her true combat power had probably reached the peak of Level-3. If she returned to the Seven Continents, it would be difficult to find a Magician of the same level who could fight her.
This was the potential and growth that the Great Wall of Disaster had forced out.
Lori was only 14 years old. The 14-year-old Li Xiang was still in junior high school, but she was already a peak Level-3 Magician. From this perspective, she was probably the true number one genius in the Seven Continents.
Most people would only start cultivating at the age of 18 when their bodies were fully grown. Lori was an exception. He did not know what the Shield King was thinking.
The little loli threw herself into his arms and cried. Li Xiang gently stroked her little head. He didn't know how to comfort this little girl.
It was still too early for her. She had experienced so many bloody battles at such a young age. Most people would not be able to bear it.
After crying, Lori suddenly raised her head and looked at him with red eyes. Her gaze was a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiang looked at her and had a bad premonition.
"Master … Oh no, Big Brother Li Xiang, can you promise me something?" Lori blinked her cute big eyes, her face full of anticipation.
Li Xiang immediately became alert. This little girl was very spoiled in the past. She was suddenly so gentle. She must be up to no good.
"What is it? Tell me first. Then I will know if I can promise you."
Usually, when a woman asked for a promise and did not make it clear, the man would definitely bleed. It was either his wallet or a certain part of his body that was filled with blood.
In any case, it was definitely not something good.
"Wait, wait until the bloody battle is over. I want to marry you!"
"Ha!"
"No, you are too young. This is against the rules of the Seven Continents." Li Xiang shook his head righteously. Fourteen was a very delicate age. Young girls who matured early often had their first awakening of love at this age. They were growing into delicate flowers that could be plucked, but it was not the time yet.
Of course, this was not the main point.
"Then I will add another condition. Wait until I come of age." The little girl did not give up. She hugged him and shook him with all her might. "I don't care. I will stick to you. Master, Master, Master …"
Li Xiang looked at this poor girl. He did not know what had provoked her to suddenly make such a request.
Faced with the little girl's coquettish and seductive attacks, he still shook his head firmly.
"Listen to me, Lori. There is a phenomenon called the suspension bridge effect …"
"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen …"
The little girl shook her head like a rattle-drum. Then, Li Xiang fiercely pulled on her cheeks and pulled them until they were like flat pancakes.
"Alright, don't be silly."
Lori widened her eyes and whimpered. However, because her mouth was pulled, she could not speak clearly. She could only wave her little fists angrily in protest.
The two of them bickered for a while before Lori calmed down. Her jesting had lifted Li Xiang's heavy mood. She was not serious about this matter. She had only said this on a whim when she saw Li Xiang's solemn expression.
After calming down, exhaustion washed over her like a tidal wave. Lori fell into a deep sleep on his chest. In the past few days of bloody battles, the Medical Department had a long way to go. They had to run around for countless medics, and some of them had died on the way.
Lori had also been in danger several times. Thanks to the mechanical Tea's protection, her cute little head was not torn apart and eaten by the mutants.
After Lori fell asleep, Li Xiang's world became quiet again. The sky was filled with stars. He had not seen such a beautiful starry sky for a long time.
The never-ending snowstorm had kept the sky in Ice Scar City clear. It was not polluted by the factories and steam on the Seven Continents. It was still a pure land. After the snowstorm, there would be countless stars every night. It was as beautiful as a fairytale world.
Suddenly, his shoulder sank.
Li Xiang turned his head to the side and saw the mechanical Mi Cha who had been sitting cross-legged beside him sleeping soundly. It was leaning its head on Li Xiang's shoulder unconsciously. The soft touch and sweet smell made it hard to imagine that it was a mechanical creature.
The three of them snuggled together quietly and fell asleep under the stars.
Before he fell asleep, he suddenly remembered what Lori had said. When the war was over …
When that time came, he had to take a good rest and run to see Ming Xu as fast as he could. She must be very anxious and worried about him.
When that time came, he would not have to worry about anything. He would propose to Ming Xu directly and let her marry him. Otherwise, how long would he have to wait?
When that time came, he would have to live with Ye Tong for a while. The little girl was just like Lori. They were very clingy when they were her age. In fact, Ye Tong had always been very clingy to her brother. However, as she grew older, she became more sensible and would not easily reveal her feelings.
How could he have neglected her?
With that in mind, Li Xiang fell asleep with a smile on his face.
However, he did not expect that the chaos of the war would not stop so quickly. Once it started, it would continue for three whole years.
.....
Three years later, at the Army's Southern Headquarters.
"Wahahahaha …" A little girl in bright red with her hair tied up in pigtails was running through each floor at lightning speed. The maids who were following behind her were complaining incessantly.
"Little Miss, slow down, slow down!"
The little girl was holding a small windmill in her hand. The leaves of the windmill danced along with the strong airflow. Her running speed was astonishing. Seeing that the few maids who were panting couldn't keep up with her, she stopped and made a face behind her. Suddenly, she saw the maids kneel down in fear.
"Stupid maids … Eh?"
"Greetings, Little Miss."
"Chen Xuanxuan, have you finished your homework?"
The three-year-old girl turned around with a bitter expression. The windmill in her hand was still spinning. Her small body was lifted up by a jade-like hand covered in seals and swayed in the wind.
