Chapter 1945 - 994: The Final Journey (Part 6)_5
An individual raising their hand could practically destroy the heavens and the earth.
An orc soldier charged fiercely at them, Wild Wind slapped it, and the orc soldier’s head was gone...
Lao Wan, behind the defensive line, was dumbfounded: "Whoa..."
Li Su: "Wow..."
The previously terrifying special alloy shield was snatched up and held as if it were a small stool used in human brawls, smashing onto the heads of orc soldiers.
Li Su said dazedly, "Have you ever seen a tiger play with a little rabbit? That’s exactly how I feel now..."
Lao Wan felt a chill run down his spine: "Maybe humanity will be destroyed by the Giant Race in the future?"
During the rampant time of giants, the Li Family had a strained relationship with the Qing’s Family, so the Li Family only knew a group of giants emerged on the Eastern Continent, without knowing the specifics.
Li Changqing explained calmly: "Don’t worry, Qing Chen is their king."
"Ah," Li Su gasped, wondering how his teacher could exert dominance across species.
At this moment, the Giant Race, fewer in number than the Orcs Army, was gradually pushing the defensive line back at a visible speed.
The Orcs Army did not retreat because of the fear of the Giant Race; they continued to charge forward fearlessly... but it was futile!
Wild Wind was always at the forefront; sometimes he would jump tens of meters high and crush two orc soldiers upon landing, like a giant human cannonball.
Later, the giants followed suit, hopping around like locusts in the sky, crushing numerous orc soldiers upon landing.
The last one to play this way was Super Mario stomping mushrooms and turtles.
The Qing’s Soldiers behind the defensive line were numb with amazement as they charged out of the line, joining the Giant Race in their counterattack, only to find they couldn’t keep up with the speed of the giants pushing the battle line.
Li Changqing sighed: "The era is changing too fast."
A year ago, battles between syndicates were just small-scale wars, where advancing the battle line seventy kilometers was impressive, and so-called blitzkrieg was merely a three hundred kilometer advance in a day.
Nonetheless, in Qing Chen’s era, a true blitzkrieg meant eating hotpot one moment and crossing over two thousand kilometers via the Key of Gate the next to annihilate all of Deer Island.
A year ago, it took a massive investment to train a unit of B-Class Genetic Warriors.
Yet, during the Parents’ Meeting era, over forty thousand A-Class Cultivators ascended in a day.
Now, the giants joined the fray, and their terrifying advance was incomprehensible even to the Orcs Army.
Human civilization tends to undergo a rapid transformation through a handful of people after hundreds of years of stable progression, such as during the Industrial Revolution by scientists, advancing from carriages to high-speed trains and airplanes within just over a hundred years.
Now, with people like Qing Chen, the world is nearing the mythical realm of legends!
However, at that moment, a giant leapt into the air and found a robed elder waiting below.
The opponent had drawn a golden longsword from his sleeve!
The giant tried to adjust his posture mid-air, but the angle of the golden longsword was too tricky, decapitating the giant.
The massive head rolled on the ground as the Drama Master, an old monster, retreated expressionlessly into the Orcs Army.
Simultaneously, another Drama Master old monster appeared elsewhere and slashed another giant with an axe!
Before the giants could react, the previous Drama Master old monster appeared holding a golden longsword in another spot, slaying another giant!
The giant frenzy paused briefly, solely because the two old monsters attacked so unpredictably.
Moreover, despite the giants’ cultivation, their practice time was short, and they hadn’t broken through to become Demigods.
If confronted by these two old monsters in a one-on-one scenario, death was inevitable!
Not only that, there were a few A-Class Drama Master ready to assassinate.
Though they weren’t as fast or strong as the giants, their speed at taking down giants was extremely fast, always appearing in the darkest places!
However, the giant frenzy only stopped briefly before charging back madly; the Orcs Army was fearless, and so were they!
Amidst the giants, the Giant Prophet shouted loudly: "Silence!"
(We giants, who have wandered the Taboo Forest for two hundred years, have finally arrived at the moment of revenge. Don’t fear death, for our souls will cross the Forbidden Sea, soar over the human flourishing cities, and return to the silent Kuroharara, back to our homeland!)
As the Prophet’s words fell, the giants went mad again, with over three hundred giants charging at the forefront!
Even more insane, these over three hundred giants could emit electricity!
Lightning flashed across the sky and fell into the Orcs Army, covering an A-Class Drama Master and electrocuting him to death!
Li Su was shocked: "This is..."
Li Changqing explained: "Qing Chen taught the God of Thunder he found to the giants, who selected the top three hundred qualified giants to practice it."
Giants not only possess tremendous strength but also casually strike with lightning; how could one not fear them?
Li Su watched from afar and swore it was the first time he saw fear in the eyes of the Orcs Army, even though those orc soldiers were controlled by a taboo!
Li Changqing sighed: "But the disparity in numbers between the Giant Race and the Orcs Army remains too large. Did you notice the Orcs Army is retracting their formation to avoid direct confrontation with the Giant Race and drain their energy while letting the Drama Master old monsters rely on the Orcs Army for ambushes?"
Lao Wan nodded: "The giants only number ten thousand, and with some losses, even if the Drama Master old monsters ambush two or three at a time, they can gradually consume the Giant Race."
"What shall we do now?" Li Su asked, "Should we lead the Qing’s Army to flank the Orcs Army and help them break through the Orcs’ line faster... Wait, there are people on the mountains on both sides of the Orcs Army!"
Li Changqing looked up sharply and saw a short-haired girl standing atop the left mountain peak.
On the right mountain peak, stood a sturdy boy who faced her symmetrically.
The girl’s shoulder was wrapped in blood-stained bandages, while the boy’s left leg was bandaged, with unknown injuries.
Li Su said: "It’s Chen Zhuoqu, Hu Jingyi! They’re Qing Chen’s two pupils!"
Upon hearing they were Qing Chen’s pupils, Li Changqing looked closer: "Why are they injured? Seems like they’re seriously hurt?"
Lao Wan said: "I heard they went to challenge the Gates of Life and Death, likely sustaining injuries during it, which might affect combat. If they force themselves to fight while injured, they might be slain by the Drama Master old monsters on the battlefield."
However, before he finished speaking, Chen Zhuoqu and Hu Jingyi atop the mountain both took a deep breath, as if they had agreed, causing the sky clouds to swirl.
Whale breath of heaven and earth!
The next moment, both bent forward and blew out a cloud of air toward the Orcs Army below!
Their small figures exhaled a cloud that stretched a thousand meters, like celestial beings creating a Great Snow!
That cloud passed through the forest on the mountain, blowing away all the withered leaves on the branches, transforming into Autumn Leaf Knife!
The Autumn Leaf Knife sliced through the Orcs Army, tearing away the flesh, skin, and organs, leaving only skeletons.
Over ten thousand orc soldiers, like ten thousand dandelions, were blown away, leaving only bones!
At this time, Chen Zhuoqu and Hu Jingyi had completed eight Gates of Life and Death with stunning speed, almost matching that of the founder Ren He; and most importantly, they possessed the Breathing Technique.
Though completing seven Gates of Life and Death grants Demigod status, Chen Zhuoqu realized an ordinary Demigod Knight wasn’t enough, so she bravely completed the eighth Gate of Life and Death, Wing Suit Flying.
Though challenging the Gates of Life and Death caused severe injuries and rendered her right shoulder almost immobile.
Qing Zhun once told Qing Chen, everything gained comes with loss; everything has a cost.
What he didn’t say was, every effort is rewarded!
Completing one more Gate of Life and Death allowed their Knight Vital Energy to surpass the process Qing Chen once underwent to condense cloud gas, granting them Knight Aura ahead of time!
Although not as terrifying as Uncle Li Dong, it was temporarily adequate!
With a single breath, they exposed the two Drama Master old monsters lurking within the Orcs Army, tearing their dark robes and revealing their shriveled, hunched physiques.
The two realized things weren’t going well and immediately tried to retreat.
However, before they could withdraw into the main body of the Orcs Army, Wang Xiaojiu thundered down from the mountain with a massive guillotine!
"Run? I’ve wanted to kill you for a long time!"
