Chapter 163 Total Annihilation

"Let's go in!" Long Tian was quite confident in Long Jiu's strength. A group of students plus a few White Clouds and Stray Dogs members were simply utterly vulnerable.

Long Tian walked at the very front, his golden dragon robe looking extremely imposing.

Jiang Ye's internal organs had just been shattered by the stone dragon, and almost all the meridians throughout his body were severed. Yet, relying on his formidable willpower, Jiang Ye managed to raise his long sword with great difficulty and slash toward Long Tian: "With me here, don't even think about taking a single step further!!"

Long Tian smiled coldly: "You're still not dead? Then I'll send you on your final journey!"

Long Tian casually pointed his index finger at Jiang Ye, and a blade of stone instantly shot from his fingertip, piercing straight through Jiang Ye's heart!

Swish!!

Blood sprayed from his chest, and Jiang Ye collapsed directly to the ground with a heavy thud!!

Long Tian shook his head: "You people from the Dark Legion are just like cockroaches—no matter how you kill you, you never die, no matter how you kill you, you never are wiped out. It's truly both pathetic and terrifying!"

Just as Long Tian turned around and prepared to enter the pitch-black cave entrance, a hand suddenly grabbed his ankle with a death grip, preventing him from advancing even half a step.

As it turned out, Jiang Ye was hanging on by his very last breath, desperately stretching out his hand to firmly grab Long Tian's foot.

"I... will not... let you in!!" Jiang Ye's consciousness was already blurring, but his bodily instincts still defended the cave entrance.

How noisy!!

Long Tian drew his stone sword and directly chopped off Jiang Ye's head.

Thud—

The splashing blood stained his golden dragon robe.

Long Tian irritably muttered: "What terrible luck! These Shadow Legion people are simply lunatics. Sooner or later, I will wipe every last one of them out!!"

Long Tian continued walking forward, only to find that even though the opponent was headless, he was still gripping his leg for dear life!

Ah!!

Long Tian was nearly driven mad, and then proceeded to sever Jiang Ye's hand as well!

Yet Jiang Ye's hand still clung tightly to Long Tian's leg. What an intense will—even in death, he firmly grasped his enemy's leg!!

Long Tian was on the verge of a breakdown, and finally had to slice off Jiang Ye's fingers one by one before he managed to shake him off.

"Commander Jiang Ye!" Seeing Jiang Ye suffer a tragic death in the distance, Ding Yan was heartbroken. He desperately wanted to rush over and avenge Jiang Ye, but was blasted directly to the ground by a heavy hammer wielded by an elite member of the Haotian Guild's Second Regiment.

Because this was a covert operation meant to deceive the public, the Haotian Guild had only brought one thousand people in total. Every single one of them was a guild elite, with the weakest being at the high General rank, the majority at the peak General rank, and even a dozen at the early Marquis rank!

This was the true strength of the Haotian Guild. One must know that the Haotian Guild was currently the only Sophon guild in China that controlled an entire township, with its actual controlled population reaching as high as one hundred thousand! They were a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the Shadow Legion!!

In truth, given the strength of the Shadow Legion, even if they merely deployed modern weaponry and launched thousands of missiles, they could likely flatten the Haotian Guild to the ground. However, the Shadow Legion was deterred by two things: first, there were still tens of thousands of innocent civilians in the township occupied by the Haotian Guild; and second, Long Tian was an extremely despicable and shameless person. He had once threatened the Shadow Legion that if they dared to use modern weaponry to forcefully attack his guild, he would find a random city, summon a stone dragon, and let them bear the consequences!!

Unless they could kill Long Tian, his Marquis-rank strength was equivalent to a mobile nuclear bomb, and the Shadow Legion didn't dare to take any drastic action against him!

Let's go!!

Long Tian led his elite First Regiment, along with the Third Leader Long Mei and the Third Regiment, walking into the dark cave.

Mage characters cast fireball spells, suspending fireballs in the cavern to serve as a light source illuminating the mountain cave.

The cave spiraled downward and was exceptionally deep, with various branching paths inside. The Sophon system's craftsmanship was truly miraculous; heaven knows how they managed to carve out this cave deep underground.

Ding Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and quickly climbed back up: "Triple Flame Sword!"

Clang, clang, clang!

Ding Yan delivered three consecutive sword strikes, slashing at the Haotian brute wearing a gold watch.

The gold watch brute swung his heavy hammer with immense force, effortlessly shattering Ding Yan's attack, and pressed forward step by step, striking with every step until Ding Yan's arms went numb, the webbing between his thumbs and forefingers cracked, and he was forced into a continuous retreat.

Thud!

Ding Yan's foot slipped, and he actually tumbled to the ground.

The gold watch brute mocked: "Soft-skinned students like you dare to step onto the battlefield? You're truly a disgrace to your mothers. Let this granddaddy show you the cruelty of the battlefield!"

Ding Yan smiled triumphantly: "You simple-minded brute, you've fallen into a trap! Ye Zizhen, bind him!"

Ding Yan had intentionally provoked the enemy, feigning a step-by-step retreat to lure him onto a patch of ground covered entirely in leaves so that Ye Zizhen could easily control the leaves to directly bind the enemy's feet!!

Leaf Bind!!

Ye Zizhen flicked both hands upward, and the leaves on the ground instantly wrapped tightly around the gold watch brute's legs.

The gold watch brute struggled frantically, when suddenly he felt a chill at the back of his neck.

Two cold dual blades directly pierced through his throat.

The gold watch brute glanced back with lingering resentment: "When... when did you appear..."

Thud. The gold watch brute died with his eyes wide open in grievance.

Although there were only three members left in the squad, the three of them still maintained perfect coordination. Instead of recklessly fighting the enemy to the death, they played guerrilla warfare, luring the enemy out one by one, capitalizing on their arrogance and conceit, and then killing them together.

Long Jiu, the Second Leader of the Haotian Guild, was currently leading the commander and deputy commander of his Second Regiment in surrounding ten instructors! As for the other members of the Second Regiment, they had dispersed to chase down the fleeing students.

None of these ten instructors were weak. The strongest instructor, Liang Jingyu, had even reached the early Marquis rank, making him the strongest among all instructors in Star City. He was a Moon-rank White Cloud, and his White Cloud robe clearly bore the pattern of a full moon.

However, even with Liang Jingyu at the early Marquis rank, he could not withstand Long Jiu's assault! One must know that Long Jiu was at the high Marquis rank. His Second Regiment Commander, Zhou Shen, was an early Marquis-rank grand mage; the Deputy Commander, Fang Shu, was a fiercely aggressive and sexy female warrior at the peak General rank. With such a formidable lineup, Liang Jingyu simply could not hold his ground, and the other instructors were even more utterly defenseless.

Haotian Hammer!!

Long Jiu let out a loud shout, and the Haotian hammer in his hand suddenly transformed into a twenty-meter-long gigantic energy hammer, which flipped through the air and smashed fiercely toward the ground.

Liang Jingyu held a thick shield high above his head to block, activating his iron shield barrier, and barely managed to withstand the move.

The other instructors, however, were not so lucky and were directly blasted flying.

Regiment Commander Zhou Shen acted just like a sniper, picking up his magic bow, infusing magical energy into his arrows, and firing—swish, swish, swish—one arrow per target, piercing through the instructors who had been knocked airborne. Deputy Commander Fang Shu brandished her flail, smashing the heads of the injured instructors one by one, beating them into a bloody, unrecognizable pulp.

As a woman, Fang Shu possessed a rather perverted streak and simply loved admiring bloody corpses.

Soon, Liang Jingyu was left entirely isolated and helpless, the only one still bitterly holding on. Reluctantly, he looked back at his students. Many of those students had been extremely excited and expectant about this battle that morning; they were so radiant, so full of youth, so spirited. Quite a few students had even wept bitterly in frustration because they lacked the quota to participate in this battle!

Yet now, there were corpses covering the ground, familiar faces, and cold blood.

"You son-of-a-bitch bastards! Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!!" Liang Jingyu possessed a special piece of equipment on his body called the Shield of Defiance!

It could accumulate all absorbed damage and then unleash it all at once! Even more terrifyingly, the Shield of Defiance possessed a special attribute: when one's life was threatened, it could trigger the Unyielding Spirit effect, detonating all the absorbed damage back outward with tenfold power!

Liang Jingyu had been purely defending and not attacking all this time precisely to absorb that damage!

"You scumbags who don't even spare children! Go to hell! Hahahahaha! Unyielding Spirit! Detonate!!"
