When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 1254 - 816: One Punch, One Beast (Part 2)
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The bamboo insect’s originally indestructible long arms cracked like porcelain, and this terrifying crack not only shattered its long arms but also shattered its entire body!
Bang!
The bamboo insect, hundreds of meters tall, directly collapsed to pieces under the astonished gazes of everyone, crashing down with fragments flying, landing on the ground!
One punch!
Just one punch!
The later-stage Heavenly Connection bamboo insect was instantly killed!
"It’s Commander Luo!"
"Commander Luo is here; we’re saved!"
The martial artists trapped in despair exclaimed, their voices filled with respect as they gazed at the elderly yet resolute figure in the sky, whose appearance felt like a hand had pulled them back from the brink of a hellish abyss.
Elder Luo’s expression was filled with rage as he turned his head, looking once more at the magma on the ground, which was about to melt the earth, and the walls were already scorched. He took a step forward and instantly appeared above the crack.
The magma in the fissure was still bubbling with scorching flames, with temperatures reaching thousands of degrees. It was terrifying, yet Elder Luo simply, unassumingly punched towards the magma!
Boom!
All the magma was shattered under this punch. Even though magma is fluid, Elder Luo’s punch was too terrifying, annihilating everything, even evaporating the magma into void.
His punch hit the crack, and the fire snake hidden beneath the ground didn’t even have time to raise its head before being shattered by Elder Luo’s punch!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The invisible desolate beast in the air attempted to launch a surprise attack, but Elder Luo turned around to punch again!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The invisible desolate beast in the air exploded!
Only terrifying ripples were transmitted, yet no physical body could be seen—even in death, nobody could discern its form.
And the dark clouds in the sky, resembling a black hole, kept striking the walls below with lightning. Elder Luo punched towards the sky again!
This punch was terrifying; though it seemed shapeless, it carried an unstoppable force, sweeping into the dark clouds. The clouds instantly burst open with a gap, which expanded rapidly and then, with a boom, exploded completely!
The Jizhou frontline was once again bathed in sunlight, dispelling the oppressive gloom in everyone’s hearts.
"This is too powerful!"
Everyone was stunned watching Elder Luo in action!
One punch per late-stage Heavenly Connection monster!
These martial artists all knew of "Luo Yunxian’s" strength, but Elder Luo had not participated in battle for many years, at least over twenty!
For over two decades, Jiuzhou had not suffered significant beast attacks, so many had only heard of Luo Yunxian’s strength, without truly understanding its extent.
Some young and arrogant SSR and UR martial artists were not convinced that an SR-level Awakener could be a leader at all.
In their view, the position of leader should at least be held by an SSR Awakener. The Alliance had no shortage of SSR and UR-level Heavenly Connection experts, so how could an SR-level one surpass them all?
But now Elder Luo’s four punches had subdued all surviving martial artists present!
There were other UR and SSR senior experts fighting desolate beasts, yet those beasts were not as powerful as these four.
"Not worthy of being Jiuzhou’s top individual!"
Qian Qingbo, witnessing Elder Luo’s punches, was also impressed!
Even though his actual realm was higher than Elder Luo, within the Great Desolate Realm, limited by the later stages of Heavenly Connection, he doubted he could withstand such a punch.
Few could withstand it!
Even Ancestral Dao experts might struggle!
He couldn’t help but think of Xiang Beifei; the master-disciple pair were truly cut from the same cloth, both having extraordinary power, impossible to gauge by conventional standards!
But now was not the time for praise; Qian Qingbo had already turned to attack other Heavenly Connection desolate beasts. There were just too many, seemingly intentionally gathering on the frontline guarded by Professor Guo, with most being quite formidable!
Whoosh!
He drew his sword, swung it skyward, and a massive sword light surged up, slashing towards a gigantic rhino-sized desolate beast. Its skin was incredibly tough, and as the sword light struck, its horn glowed with fiery red light, meeting the attack head-on!
Boom!
The two beams clashed in midair like rainbows, yet Qian Qingbo’s power prevailed, slicing the massive rhino in half!
His gaze fell further away, where Professor Guo was in trouble again, besieged by several powerful late-stage Heavenly Connection desolate beasts. Yet strangely, those beasts seemed only to knock him down before ignoring him to rush towards Jiuzhou’s walls.
Qian Qingbo frowned deeply.
"Head to Jingzhou! Assist Sun Heshun! It’s not far, hurry!"
Elder Luo had already rushed over, killing another desolate beast, and shouted to Qian Qingbo.
"But my mission is..."
"Do I need your protection?"
Right before Qian Qingbo, Elder Luo punched another late-stage Heavenly Connection bird beast apart!
Qian Qingbo indeed had no words; he knew he couldn’t find a weakness in Elder Luo, who was formidable and invincible as long as his spiritual power lasted!
However, he did whisper to Luo, so only he could hear: "Professor Luo, I know your power is immense, but often, the human heart is scarier than any punch! The situation here is strange; earlier, the four beasts that breached the walls didn’t attack Guo Zhenghong fatally, only knocking him away!"
"That’s because Old Guo’s defenses are strong; they can’t break them! These desolate beasts are as intelligent as us now; they realize it takes too much effort to kill him, better to breach the walls first! Go to Jingzhou! Hurry, or more will die there!" Elder Luo instructed sternly.
"I will not leave," Qian Qingbo responded firmly.
"Are you looking to die? Disobeying orders on the battlefield!"
Elder Luo, fuming, smashed another desolate beast in rage.
Qian Qingbo continued battling beasts, replying, "I was ordered by Xiang Beifei to never leave your side even for a step!"
"Preposterous! As long as you are in Jiuzhou, you follow my orders! If you don’t assist there, more will die in Jingzhou!"
"Many dying, versus all dying—I know which weighs heavier!"
Qian Qingbo remained unmoved.
As a Human King’s loyal follower, he understood life and death well; for such followers, the Human King’s life was above all! In the grand revival of the Human Race, they lived to die for the Human King when needed!
Xiang Beifei was the Human King’s leader, and clearly, Elder Luo was Jiuzhou’s Human King!
If Elder Luo were to face danger alone due to his departure and be assassinated by Dao Palace’s traitors, Jiuzhou would be doomed! Even saving others would be pointless then!
Thus, he would rather see others in Jiuzhou killed than let Elder Luo, overly trusting of those surrounding him, fall into trouble!
Elder Luo glared in frustration at the disobedient Qian Qingbo, but over by the walls, Heavenly Connection desolate beasts had once again forced Professor Guo back. Rushing over, he pulled the besieged Professor Guo out.
"Old Guo, are you alright?" Elder Luo asked.
"I can still hold on."
Professor Guo’s face was extremely pale, like a sheet of paper. Though his defense was strong, relentlessly being assaulted by countless powerful late-stage Heavenly Connection desolate beasts had clearly taken a toll.
He excelled at defense, not offense; enduring constant hits wasn’t enjoyable.
Luckily, he hadn’t sustained fatal injuries, only exhausting massive spiritual power, unable to recover immediately.
Yet Qian Qingbo’s eyes remained firmly fixed on Professor Guo, as he couldn’t determine if Guo was Jiuzhou’s traitor or not. But he sensed something amiss, as the desolate beasts continually spared Guo!
