Chapter 520: Chapter 520: A Brutal Battle A flute sound rose! The flute sound was elusive, and Lin Xiaosu’s gaze was directed towards the forest on the left. Although his sensing power was unparalleled in the world, being so far away, he still couldn’t accurately capture the exact location of the flute sound. Moreover, even if he could capture it, he had no time to kill the person producing it. Just because the subterranean beast army had fully mobilized. As long as they weren’t entirely dead, they accelerated their speed. Giant subterranean beasts, as large as cows, once emerged from the ground, their speed could rival that of Genetic People. In front of them. The fourth line of defense! From the grass and beneath the sands, suddenly emerged a large pack of machine wolves. The machine wolves lay hidden beneath the sands and stones, able to remain in standby mode for several months without anyone detecting them. Once the battle commenced, the pack of machine wolves would break out of the ground and become a nightmare for any army. The machine wolves emerged from the soil, and the machine guns at the wolfheads began to fire. A dense circle of firepower thus appeared. However, the effects of this firepower on the subterranean beasts were quite insignificant. Machine gun bullets could not inflict fatal injuries on the subterranean beasts. The silver-white scale armor on their bodies was nearly immune to all bullets. In the first instant. More than five hundred subterranean beasts broke through the 80-mile outer defense of Liang Mountain, leaving it in tatters. These five hundred subterranean beasts were also the remaining survivors of the three thousand. Even though the initial encounter reduced the three thousand to five hundred, destroying over eighty percent, the real battle was just beginning. On top of the mountain, Blue Demon’s face was as dark as water: "The situation is dire!" Bai Shui’s strategy, in the first phase, cleared away eighty percent of the subterranean beast’s combat power. It couldn’t be said not to be brilliant. However, there were still too many remaining subterranean beasts. With the five hundred beasts having broken through the defense line, there were only two defense lines left behind. One is the Heavenly King Defense Line! Could the Eight Heavenly Kings stop five hundred subterranean beasts? Absolutely impossible. If they couldn’t hold them off, the ordinary warriors behind would have to be relied upon. That’s using lives to fill the gap! This battle would be a tough one to fight. Beside her, Blood Trace’s hair flew in the wind: "Don’t worry too much, there’s still one more defense line! A temporary one set up by Qianlong." As his voice fell. Suddenly, countless flying cars appeared in the sky! From within the flying cars, countless spiders descended from the sky. At first glance, these spiders were only as big as a watermelon, but upon reaching the ground, their eight sharp claws spread out, as large as a window. With a bounce and a leap, they jumped onto the backs of the subterranean beasts. Boom! A series of loud explosions ensued. The subterranean beasts were blown apart, flesh and blood flying. Blue Demon’s eyes lit up: "What kind of bomb is this? It has such a strong power." Ordinary bombs, or even rockets, couldn’t harm subterranean beasts from the outside even at close range, while the bombs carried by these spiders could kill one subterranean beast with a single explosion. "It’s the latest technology, the Glorious 5 bomb!" Glorious Bomb. In the military, it is a very special term. It signifies one thing: mutual destruction. When used by warriors, it means perishing with the enemy. When used by spider robots, it becomes a suicide weapon. After one round of suicide explosions, the number of subterranean beasts was directly halved. From over five hundred, it dropped to two or three hundred. With two or three hundred subterranean beasts rushing into the three mountain valleys, the moment for sniper actions by super masters finally arrived. Blue Demon flashed like lightning, the enhanced Dragon Scale in his hand slashing across the subterranean beast’s neck, but to no avail. Blood Trace leaped from the air, delivering a slash. This slash was his strongest strike after breaking into the realm of Observing Heaven. However, this strike only sent the beast flying three zhang backward, shattering a scale on its head. Swish! Blood Trace flashed past, his curved blade slashing again from the spot where he just dislodged the scale, the beast let out a terrible cry, tossing its head as Blood Trace soared far away. The subterranean beast staggered three steps before collapsing with a crash. This was the first subterranean beast killed by the Heavenly King Team, brought down by two strikes from Blood Trace. Blood Trace glanced over his curved blade, his heart cold as ice. Although he carried the power of Observing Heaven, slaying a subterranean beast with two strikes, his blade had deformed! This battle was far more challenging than imagined. Indeed, Thunder King’s Thunder Strike, a heavy blow landed on the top of a subterranean beast’s head, but the usual grandeur of Thunder Power decimating mighty foes couldn’t play out. This beast, taking the full force of the strike, merely retreated three steps. And one member of this team made the hearts of all the Heavenly Kings race. He was Lone Snake! Lone Snake was originally a Nirvana of the Nine Headed Snake, somehow brought over by Lin Xiaosu, volunteering to come to the Southwest Frontline, facing the subterranean beasts, he made his move. His means of attack was unlike any other, his hand extended, piercing into the beast’s giant maw, as its deadly teeth were about to close, his arm suddenly lengthened, slash! From the inside, piercing through the beast’s brain. This stab, had a distinctly professional assassin style—precise, ruthless, and brutal. Lone Snake became the second person in this team to successfully slay a subterranean beast. Subsonic waves arose! They came from Miao Yin Heavenly King’s hand. The subterranean beasts suddenly became manic. Subsonic waves couldn’t directly destroy the subterranean beasts, but they could cause them to lose normal judgment, transforming them into frenzied beasts. If this happened in densely populated areas, the madness of the beasts could cause greater damage, but on the Heavenly King battlefield, such madness was a good thing. Because when the beasts went mad, they couldn’t differentiate between friend and foe, or direction. In a flash, two beasts began fighting each other. "Heavenly Kings, let them into the forest!" a voice suddenly called from the front. The voice was gentle and mild, even in such a fierce battlefield, as soft as a private conversation on a platform. The Holy Daughter, Qian Ling! Blue Demon flipped aside, dodging an attack from a beast, raising his arm and shouting: "Let the beasts go through!" So, over thirty beasts simultaneously darted into the forest. At this moment, influenced by Miao Yin’s subsonic waves, they attacked on instinct alone. The high-frequency pulses underground that unsettled them were constantly being released, abandoning the best weapon of boring underground, they plunged headfirst into the forest. As soon as they entered the jungle, the branches and leaves moved in unison, and the whole forest suddenly came to life. The trees grew wildly, and the vegetation spiraled furiously. The Earthfall Beasts screamed incessantly, trapped by a move, "Spirit Control Thousand Mountains," from Saintess Qian Ling, caught in a sea of trees. "Use bombs, stuff them into their mouths!" Miao Yin Heavenly King’s voice reached all the kings’ ears, inspired by the successful precedent of Gu She killing an Earthfall Beast. The Earthfall Beasts, with their strong protective scale armor, were impervious, and the most effective method of destruction was an internal breakthrough. Swish, swish, swish! In the dense forest, the Heavenly Kings unleashed their fastest movement techniques, approaching while the Earthfall Beasts were ensnared by Saintess Qian Ling’s layers of trees! They stuffed various bombs into the mouths of the Earthfall Beasts by various means. Boom! A loud explosion signified the death of one Earthfall Beast. However, the trap beast nature of the Earthfall Beasts kicked in, and they charged madly. Saintess Qian Ling, using Spirit Control Thousand Mountains, was at her mental limit, wrapping dozens of immensely powerful Earthfall Beasts, and each bomb explosion actually hurt her. On the periphery, another group of Earthfall Beasts rushed in, tearing the jungle apart... The second valley. Heavenly King Xue Feng waved his hand, and a sheet of whiteness appeared before him. It seemed to suddenly be winter, with snow drifting. In the past, such a strike would be enough to freeze an entire army. However, against the Earthfall Beasts, such an attack fell short. The group of Earthfall Beasts charged, breaking through his icy fog, making Xue Feng’s heart race. At that moment, a punch was delivered from behind! Just one punch! The head of the leading Earthfall Beast exploded directly! Xue Feng’s eyes widened. Li Diandian, a mere Gold Medal 49, actually punched an Earthfall Beast to death. The next moment, four Earthfall Beasts surrounded her. Hu Ya spun rapidly, her entire body seemingly glowing faintly at this moment. Boom! Boom! The heads of two Earthfall Beasts burst open. She ascended to the sky, kicking one Earthfall Beast three zhang away, crashing it heavily into another Earthfall Beast, and the two beasts rolled into a deep ditch in front of them. She spun like a windmill, head down, feet up, and punched with both fists. Striking the strongest backs of two Earthfall Beasts. This strike didn’t penetrate, but after staggering a few steps, the Earthfall Beasts still spat blood and fell, evidently their internal organs were heavily damaged. In an instant, she killed six Earthfall Beasts. Solely relying on her fists! Whereas Heavenly King Xue Feng, honored as a king, could only roll and fight an Earthfall Beast across the valley, not gaining any clear advantage. In both valleys, the fierce battle had commenced. On Lin Xiaosu’s side, thirty Earthfall Beasts had already entered three hundred meters into the valley, and he hadn’t moved. Ding Ruoshui was sweating with anxiety: "Aren’t you going to move yet?" "Don’t worry!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Wait a little longer!" "Wait? Look, those people over there, their faces have changed!" She pointed to a team behind a river. That team was the last line of defense. They were real frontier warriors. Though armed with guns and artillery, and with a neat formation, despite being true frontier elite troops, facing thirty Earthfall Beasts advancing like a whirlwind, even their expressions changed. "Very soon, just three more minutes!" Ding Ruoshui grew anxious: "What exactly are you waiting for?" "For them to reach the riverside!" "But there’ll be no time to react once they’re by the river. It’s only two zhang wide, and an Earthfall Beast can leap over... then those behind will have to pay with their lives!" Ding Ruoshui leapt up: "I’ll go!" Lin Xiaosu stretched out his hand to grab hers: "Rest assured!" Ding Ruoshui cast her gaze towards him, seeing the determination in his eyes. So she could only wait. Time seemed to pass quickly, at least to the hundreds of warriors behind, it felt swift. In the blink of an eye, the Earthfall Beasts were only a hundred meters away. This overwhelming momentum. This sense of oppression from the deepest depths of Hell left them drenched. However, to Lin Xiaosu, time felt slow. Because he wanted all these Earthfall Beasts to enter the ambush circle. Finally, all thirty Earthfall Beasts reached the riverside... Lin Xiaosu lightly tapped his toe, moving incredibly fast! In the next moment, as if appearing out of thin air, he stood in the river. Water splashed. The Earthfall Beasts leaped into the air. Above the sky, instantly, were all silver silhouettes. At that instant, his sword emerged, painting the most beautiful sword image. The Third Form of Li Ren Swordsmanship, Li Ren Tears! Li Ren Tears, relying on the water! Under Li Ren Tears, the picturesque Misty Rain Jiangnan. On the other side of the river, the leader of the hundreds of warriors, Major Commander Li Dongsheng, watched a drop of sweat fall from his nose, actually floating in mid-air instead of falling. In front of him was a scene of stunning beauty he’d never seen before. Lin Xiaosu, like a scholar from Jiangnan, wielded his long sword like a folding fan. The fan gently waved, and misty rain enveloped the air. The airborne Earthfall Beasts, the Earthfall Beasts by the river, suddenly burst with blood. Thud! A large number of Earthfall Beasts fell into the river, dyeing the small river completely red. Rapidly approaching were ten remaining Earthfall Beasts, seemingly frightened by this scene, noticeably slowing their steps as they neared the riverbank. However, they had already entered the ambush zone. Lin Xiaosu floated upwards, like a scholar walking on the banks of the spring water. Bringing them the misty rain of Jiangnan. As he passed, the Earthfall Beasts silently fell.
