Chapter 558 - 462: The Battle Begins
Just as Su Yuan and the other person were conversing, seeing the continuously extracted Star Vein, the people from various countries around the iceberg became restless!
A rumbling sound erupted. More than ten massive Meteor Fire Stones shot out violently from the direction of Yanluo Country, heading straight for the people of the Twelve Palaces in front of the iceberg.
“Heh, can’t wait anymore, huh?”
A subordinate behind Luna, wearing a military cap and with a tall stature, grinned, the blue light on him suddenly turning into a blue lightning bolt that flew out, swinging the dazzling military saber in his hand directly at the many incoming Meteor Fire Stones!
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!…”
More than ten Meteor Fire Stones were sliced through and exploded successively before they even got close!
The subordinate with the military cap walked out from the flames, only bearing some insignificant burn injuries all over his body.
He brushed the brim of his cap and shouted loudly, “This little power is not enough!”
Wei Chiyang squinted slightly. Before the second round began, the people of Black Snow Country already followed up with an attack!
The Black Snow’s numbers were far more impressive than Yanluo’s momentum!
The entire area was suffused with rising frost and snow, which transformed into numerous fierce Snow Dragons within moments—four or five dozen, if counted meticulously.
“Roar!!”
The dragon roars resonated. Dozens of Snow Dragons charged out swiftly. With the terrain’s support, their power surpassed the earlier Meteor Fire Stones!
The subordinate with the military cap, who just had a hint of a smile, looked slightly dazed in the face of this power. At this moment, however, an elegant young subordinate stepped forward from behind.
“Dorron, fall back.”
The elegant subordinate spoke while pointing ahead. Instantly, a huge oil painting elongated and stretched out before him.
The dense barrage of forty to fifty Snow Dragon Bullets struck the oil painting but only stirred up slight ripples before disappearing.
Quickly, numerous Snow Dragon patterns reappeared on the oil painting.
“What is this?!” Upon seeing such a bizarre scene, everyone was astounded.
The elegant subordinate chuckled, “Absorb and counter, Rainbow Oil Painting!”
The many Snow Dragon patterns that had just appeared on the painting lit up again, and then flew back towards the Black Snow Country people, their power identical to before!
“Not good!”
The Black Snow Country people were startled, didn’t expect all the Snow Dragon Bullets to return.
Du Jianqing, beside Mu Baiying, raised his hand and pointed. A large swirl of white snow surged and transformed into countless Snow Swords that shot up from the ground, exploding all the Snow Dragon Bullets!
“Oh?” The elegant young man looked at Du Jianqing, who controlled the Snow Swords, “An expert from Black Snow’s special guards, huh? Seems to have some strength.”
“Don’t be careless, Rui Si,” Qiong Ying laughed, “There are many experts on East Continent. Even in these small and medium countries, there might be stronger experts than us.”
“Yes, Star Envoy.” Rui Si turned and answered respectfully.
Qiong Ying saw the pride and disdain in his eyes, clearly not heeding those words.
However, Qiong Ying didn’t say more and suddenly recalled a person from before, the one who alone killed several of their team members on the West Channel River.
Even now, with the Holy Blessing from the Holy Temple, Qiong Ying wasn’t absolutely confident in defeating the person, let alone trusting these subordinates who were formerly under the Cancer sign.
Indeed, there are experts everywhere.
If not encountered, that’s fine. But being overly arrogant when encountered can easily lead to death…
At Black Snow Country’s side, Du Jianqing frowned, “Defensive counterattack Soul Power apparatus that can block dozens of Snow Dragon Bullets in one go.
The Holy Temple Twelve Palaces, just their subordinates have such strength? Truly troublesome…
But this thing, when faced with close combat or multi-directional siege, how will you perform then?!”
Du Jianqing snorted coldly, flipped his hand to take out the Ice Crystal Longsword, “Follow me!”
With the command, the Black Snow Country people, including Mu Baiying, leaped into battle.
Not just Black Snow Country, but also Yanluo, Wusa, and Rhein Country people flew up to the air.
Luna spoke in a cold voice devoid of any emotion, “Wusa and Rhein Country, are you determined to be our enemies?”
Rhein’s Knight Captain Shane replied, “There’s no reason for us to hand over the Tiger Level Star Vein. Us competing openly isn’t improper, is it?”
“Indeed there’s nothing improper…” Luna’s eyes flashed coldly, “Since that’s the case, killing you all isn’t improper either, is it?”
“Hmm?” Shane’s expression froze, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding.
Just then, seeing the crowd surrounding from all directions, Luna pointed to the sky.
In a moment, one after another, dazzling platinum Cross Stars appeared overhead.
These platinum Cross Stars seemed somewhat blurry. A closer look revealed the Star Power compressed to the extreme, slightly distorting the space!
Luna coldly glanced over the crowd, then lowered her raised right hand.
“Angel Judgment!”
Shane’s expression changed at once. He shouted, “Disperse quickly!…”
“Boom!!…”
Numerous terrifying, brilliant Holy Light beams descended from the Cross Stars, reaching a speed nearly impossible to evade.
In the blink of an eye, the dazzling white light filled the entire world like divine punishment, anyone hit by the white light was instantly shattered to dust by the extremely intense Holy Light!
When the Holy Light dissipated, in just one round, fifty to sixty people from the four countries lay dead on the spot!
For a moment, Mu Baiying, Wei Chiyang, Shane, Philip… everyone’s pupils convulsed.
Luna coldly smirked and raised her hand again. Instantly, more platinum Cross Stars rapidly formed in the sky!
This time, everyone’s expressions drastically changed!
“Dodge quickly!!”
Without needing a reminder, everyone hastily deployed defenses and swiftly scattered!
Dozens of platinum Star lights intensified and subsequently rained down heartlessly.
“Boom!…”
The rumbling sound echoed continuously. Apart from a few David-level experts, most defense skills under such terrifying Holy Light Impact were akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
In just moments, tens more people lay dead.
The four countries’ hundreds of elite experts, under two rounds of Holy Light bombardment, had evaporated by thirty percent!
Such a scene was simply horrifying.
“Damn it, how can she be this powerful!!”
Experts from various countries looked pale, hurriedly retreating with their subordinates over a thousand meters!
“Bai Ying, what do we do?!” Du Jianqing almost gritted his teeth.
Black Snow Country lost the most people due to having the highest numbers!
Mu Baiying looked extremely grim, taking a deep breath, “Against opponents of this level, ordinary troops can only exhaust Star Power, offering almost no other advantage.”
Earlier, Su Yuan had given Mu Baiying this feeling. Now this Star Envoy intensified it.
Although they were both at the Shining Star Level, even if Star Power wasn’t limitless, using a crowd strategy could theoretically take them down.
But the cost… was far too great!
With the terrifying killing power of Luna’s Holy Light, even if all Black Snow Country’s people were used up, it might not achieve the goal!
Du Jianqing’s expression flickered, contemplating briefly before commanding, “Except for Snow Ferret Davids and military captains, everyone withdraw two kilometers!”
“Du Te Wei…”
“Move!”
“Yes, sir!”
Some Snow Ferret Central Guards initially tried to resist, but hearing the order, they gritted their teeth and retreated.
Not just Black Snow Country, but also Yanluo and other countries made similar decisions.
In moments, no more than dozens remained on the scene.
Luna, surveying the hellish scene beneath the lingering Holy Light, murmured, “This way, my eyes are much cleaner…”
Nearby, unnoticed by everyone, Qiong Ying’s green pupils were filled with black and purple energy.
“Despair and fear almost filled this space…”
Qiong Ying’s lips curved slightly, her body like a vortex absorbing the black and purple energy converging from all sides.
Her aura continuously and steadily grew stronger…
