How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Earthfall Beast Tide

With an order, a barrage of gunfire erupted, yet the bullets hit the old man like fireworks; he was wearing an armor-piercing armor that blocked them all.

The flute music grew urgent!

A monster suddenly burst out of the ground on the road ahead, as big as a cow!

Its entire body was silvery white, but its blades were jet black…

Colonel Genaf’s face changed drastically: “Earthfall Beast!”

In almost the blink of an eye, the road ahead and the fields behind were densely packed with Earthfall Beasts.

Swish!

The Earthfall Beasts moved like the wind, leaping up!

They charged onto the military vehicles and into the ranks of soldiers…

Genaf shouted: “Kill!”

The sound of gunfire grew louder, yet bullets shot at the Earthfall Beasts did not even remove a scale.

Boom!

Dozens of rockets were launched, accurately hitting seven or eight Earthfall Beasts. The massive explosion waves toppled soldiers, yet even those hit simply flipped over, continuing to move as fast as lightning…

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the three thousand soldiers were lost!

“Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!” Genaf issued three retreat orders.

His own military vehicle quickly turned around and sped away.

Suddenly, a big hole appeared on the road ahead, and the military vehicle plunged headlong!

Genaf saw a silver-white shadow, as it moved, a jet-black claw slashed across his throat…

In ten minutes!

A hundred military vehicles were all overturned, and three thousand soldiers lay dead across the fields.

Menghu Military Camp, War Room.

Dozens of people stood straight.

Each had an expression of extreme terror on their face…

The military vehicles were deployed with synchronized image transmission.

They witnessed this shocking scene firsthand.

Thousands of Earthfall Beasts emerged from the ground, clearing out three thousand Menghu troops in ten minutes.

“General! These… these damn exotic species! They’ve actually bred so many Earthfall Beasts!” a consultant’s lips trembled.

“What if the enemy launches a major attack?” another person said.

“Earthfall Beasts are invulnerable to weapons, what kind of method can effectively kill them?”

“…”

For a moment, the War Room turned into chaos.

Lin Xiaosu’s hand suddenly lifted, and everyone fell silent.

Lin Xiaosu said: “Menghu Army, listen to the order!”

“Here!”

“All weapons out of the arsenal, everyone to their positions. If the enemy intends to attack, even these Earth Core Strange Beasts will taste the utmost power of modern weapons!”

“Yes!”

The entire group took the order and prepared their respective tasks!

Lin Xiaosu strode out of the War Room, entered the washroom, and the next moment, he passed through the back window, his form flickered, disappearing into the Menghu Army.

After just an hour, the ominous flute sound came from the front valley.

The silver-white swarm of Earthfall Beasts, like a tidal wave, surged toward the Menghu Army.

The Menghu Army steadfastly carried out the general’s combat orders, machine guns, mortars, rockets, and bunker busters fired simultaneously at the valley entrance.

Suddenly, the flute music shifted, and the tide-surge Earthfall Beast swarm vanished in an instant.

The valley was filled with smoke and dust, but signs showed the results were extremely limited.

Within the Menghu Army, experienced leaders’ hearts leaped: “Disappeared? Could they be attacking from underground?”

Just as the words were spoken, the ground shook violently!

Throughout the military camp, Earthfall Beasts emerged, these Earth Core Strange Beasts silently crossed the central fire zone, breaking out directly from within the Menghu headquarters…

One hundred!

One thousand!

Three thousand!

With countless Earthfall Beasts covering every corner of the Menghu camp, it meant the Menghu Army had already lost any chance to turn the tide…

On a nearby mountain peak.

Lin Xiaosu took off the military uniform symbolizing the general, reverting to his old appearance, wearing a white T-shirt, as the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye pierced through ten miles of sky, watching the Menghu camp.

His expression was as calm as water.

He finally forced out the true trump card of the Divine Temple.

The terror of this trump card, even for him, was heart palpitating.

Earthfall Beasts!

Not just one, but at least three thousand!

What is the concept of an Earthfall Beast?

Ordinary people are not too aware, but he is very clear.

He had a close encounter with such a Fierce Beast once underground in Ning City.

That Earthfall Beast was shedding its skin at the time, at its weakest.

And he, at that time?

His combat power could already rival the Blood Trace King.

Even with his power back then, it wasn’t enough to subdue a single Earthfall Beast.

It was only through cunning means that he managed to kill that Earthfall Beast.

Today, compared to that day, his combat power has naturally increased several times, but facing such Earthfall Beasts, he could probably only handle them one-on-one! Even if he uses his most powerful killer move “Severing Emotion”, to forcefully slay the Earthfall Beast, he likely wouldn’t be able to kill many.

Mobilizing three thousand Earthfall Beasts at once is almost equivalent to a thousand of himself!

Such combat power, not to mention a mere Menghu Army, even the strongest Great Xia Army would probably be terrified at the sight.

He has finally forced out the hidden depths of the Divine Temple.

The trump card of Utopia has finally been revealed!

Once the trump card is revealed, the situation is immediately reversed.

This strange flute player is the key to controlling the Earthfall Beasts, and the sound of the flute reaching his ears seems to have a subtle spiritual power resonance.

Lin Xiaosu really wants to capture him and study his flute, but it’s just wishful thinking.

Because beneath the land where this old man stands, there are Earthfall Beasts, more than one.

He couldn’t see through the old man’s cultivation, but what he was certain of was that it was definitely extraordinary.

On the highway, countless vehicles sped by, all carrying members of the Li Tian Clan.

The Earthfall Beasts swept across the battlefield, and the Li Tian Clan members followed to take care of the aftermath.

In the frontmost vehicle, there were a few elders in white.

The Great Elder arrived at the Menghu camp, and his face, as solemn as a coffin board, finally showed a slight relaxation: “Take over all military supplies!”

“Yes!” Hundreds of Li Tian Clan members sprinted away.

The Menghu Army, after several twists and turns, finally had its final result.

The soldiers were almost entirely gone.

The supplies belonged to the Divine Temple.

This extremely powerful armed force, which had run rampant in Durte for more than a decade, met its end today.

What ended them was a force unheard of in this world: the Earthfall Beast army from the Earth Core.

The Great Elder stepped into the General Mansion, representing the highest authority of the Menghu Army.

The three elders in white behind him showed a long-lost pride on their faces.

Yes, pride!

After repeated defeats and losses, even the Divine Temple was destroyed, and more than half of the clan members were dead or injured.

With one setback after another, all the elders had lost their former pride.

But today, the Earthfall Beasts were deployed, sweeping over the Menghu Army with the speed of lightning and the force of a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

The famous Menghu of the Middle East took only three hours to be obliterated!

They had regained the pride in their blood.

They had once again seen the heroic spirit that commanded respect across the world.

However, the Great Elder’s face did not show complacency, and neither did the Left Envoy walking alongside him, who even had his brows locked in a frown.

Was it because they hadn’t found Lin Xiaosu’s body?

Several elders thought there was no need for concern.

Lin Xiaosu was a threat to the Divine Temple because he controlled Menghu.

The Menghu Army was his sharp blade.

Now that the Menghu Army was gone, what waves could a mere Lin Xiaosu possibly make?

Why were the two key figures both showing such perturbed expressions?

“Great Elder, we have achieved a complete victory in this battle, but on the strategic level, we are already at a disadvantage. Do you agree?” The Left Envoy stood at the edge of the cliff, slowly turning back.

“This point, we have already discussed multiple times!” The Great Elder also slowly raised his head: “The Earthfall Beasts swept the battlefield, taking down the Menghu supported by Yingyu Country. The Western political scene will brand us as a Demon army and possibly define us as a terrorist organization. In other international affairs, what the West does, the East opposes, and vice versa. Very rarely is there a true lonely fight, but today, it seems we have offended both East and West at once.”

All three elders felt their hearts jump.

Though their reactions were slightly sluggish, they weren’t fools.

They finally understood the weight that the two key figures were carrying.

As the Left Envoy said, on the battle level, they had a complete victory, but on the strategic level, they were at a disadvantage.

The Middle Eastern situation is very complex, and the geopolitics of the world even more so.

The current world is one of comprehensive East-West contention.

Generally speaking, what the East supports, the West opposes, and vice versa. In a situation where both major camps are in full opposition, the smaller countries always have some support no matter what.

Therefore, there are rarely truly isolated entities, unless one acts recklessly.

But the Divine Temple, today, seems to have committed the biggest taboo.

Earlier on, they had offended the East’s center: Daxia.

They should have leaned towards the West, and indeed the West had thoughts of recruiting them, such as strongly restraining the Menghu Army, not allowing Menghu to use their deadly weapons against them.

But now, the situation has changed too quickly.

The Divine Temple used an extreme strategy.

Utilizing the super trump card of the Earthfall Beast army, they wiped out Menghu completely.

This wipeout, the Divine Temple itself broke the balance, disrupted the rules of the game, thereby turning themselves into a taboo for all.

The Third Elder took a step forward: “So what if both East and West don’t support us? With the great hand of the Earthfall Army, we can unify the Middle East and become a force of our own!”

With this statement, there was a sense of overwhelming boldness.

But the Left Envoy gave him a disdainful glance: “Third Elder means to ignore everything and suppress any opposing voices with the might of the Earthfall Army?”

The Third Elder stiffened his neck: “So what if we do? In this world, strength is respected over virtue!”

The Left Envoy shook his head lightly: “Next, the fiercest opposition will come from the millions of residents of Durta. By the Third Elder’s logic of eliminating opposition, do we turn Durta into a Ghost Country?”

The Third Elder opened his mouth, but no sound came out…

The notion that the entire millions of Durta’s residents oppose them might be a bit exaggerated, but not by much.

Any normal person would be highly wary of Fierce Beasts, especially those that can suddenly appear from underground, coming and going without a trace.

Moreover, with media narratives, the East and West are highly aligned, criticizing the Divine Temple, naturally leading to brainwashing of the common folk—how could they not oppose the Divine Temple’s use of Fierce Beasts?

The Left Envoy said, “The greatest mission of the Li Tian Clan is nation-building! To establish a nation, we must have people, government, commerce, and a flag of justice. How can mere personal bravery achieve it? Even from the nation-building level, it’s unacceptable for us to cut ourselves off from the international community. As for the Earthfall Army itself, it cannot be considered a guaranteed combat power!”

The Second Elder’s brow furrowed slightly: “Does the Left Envoy think the Earthfall Army’s combat power is in doubt?”
