Chapter 128: Chapter 86: Magic Duel from Afar, The Great Sword Shows Its Power

Flying devices hovered over the sand dunes;

Countless mechanical spiders densely packed into more than a dozen underground tunnels;

Explosions sounded continuously throughout the desert;

Human Warriors poured military goods into the stratum channels, ranging from a hundred to two hundred meters deep, through various means, while technicians at their control terminals constantly linked up with new drone swarms.

The extermination battlefield was divided into three layers.

The outer troops were responsible for blasting any new passages underground that might appear, the central main fire-power positions awaited to eliminate Blade Beast Groups surging from beneath, and the dozen or so tunnel entrances and exits were the most dangerous combat zones, where the drones’ main battle took place.

Daoist Wang sat comfortably inside the command vehicle, closely observing the battlefield and the human commanders up close.

These were all unprecedented experiences.

Dongfang Zhenghong’s eyes were calm and profound, devoid of any emotional fluctuations, constantly issuing precise commands for battle.

Wu Man was seated in a wheelchair, which Zhou Zhengde pushed next to Dongfang Zhenghong.

Dongfang Zhenghong asked, "Are you ready?"

"Hmm," Wu Man nodded lightly.

"Turn on the amplifier, adjust the band, and confirm the underground propagation range."

"The amplifier is operating normally."

"The underground path is confirmed."

Dongfang Zhenghong looked at Wu Man, his voice softening, "Try to get them to come out."

Daoist Wang had already checked his backpack, ensuring his armored vest was equipped with as many miniaturized High Explosive Bombs as possible.

Stuffing this thing into the maw of a Blade Beast, the killing effect was quite good.

Wu Man donned a helmet passed to him by a technician nearby, took several deep breaths, slowly closed his eyes, and his youthful face took on a touch of sanctity.

His fingers intertwined as if in prayer, and a gentle hum came from his nostrils.

Wang Jixuan instantly felt the fluctuation of Spiritual Power emanating from Wu Man.

Within minutes, shouts erupted continuously around them.

"The underground insect hordes are starting to move!"

"Marked groups 13 to 16, 23 to 28, one-sixth of the total Blade Beast Group is surging up the paths we’ve laid out!"

The projection screen displayed images of dozens of Blade Beast Groups moving, rolling or crawling through the stable three-to-four-meter diameter tunnels.

Outside the command vehicle in the wilderness, large amounts of smoke and flames appeared, pre-planted mines were triggered, and the human army began suppressive fire.

The ground trembled slightly, and on many sand dunes, scenes of gravel collapsing appeared.

The sound of explosions came after a delay, the shock waves turning into gusts of wind.

A few minutes later, a total of about seven to eight thousand Blade Beasts rushed to the surface in succession, meeting the direct fire from the human firepower network that had been waiting for a long time!

Such numbers, emerging gradually and not all at once, made easy targets for the human warriors to rack up their combat achievements.

Dongfang Zhenghong remained serene, staring at the sand table before him, not bothering to glance at the lights and shadows outside.

About ten minutes later.

A report came from inside the command vehicle: "The first wave of Blade Beasts has been annihilated."

"Resupply all fire-power sections," ordered Dongfang Zhenghong, then turned to look at Wu Man.

Wu Man nodded, "I can transmit the message again, I should manage about three more times before I fall unconscious."

"Rest for a quarter of an hour first," Dongfang Zhenghong picked up the walkie-talkie and commanded, "A quarter hour to regroup."

"Wu Man?"

"Sir!"

Wu Man immediately turned his head, and his electric wheelchair swiveled halfway around to look towards Wang Jixuan in the corner.

Daoist Wang gestured for him, and Wu Man quickly approached.

"What is it, sir?" Wu Man asked somewhat apprehensively.

Wang Jixuan thought for a moment, took a sheet of paper from a nearby technician, and wrote down a series of syllables.

This was a Calming Spell; ordinary people chanting it could fall asleep peacefully, relieving stress, while Telekinesis Spirit Ability Users like Wu Man could chant it to rapidly dissipate a feeling of exhaustion and swiftly recover spiritual power.

"Burn after reading."

Wang Jixuan instructed,

"Keep this technology to yourself; do not share it."

Wu Man immediately looked around; all the surrounding soldiers turned away, except for Zhou Zhengde, who came closer to take a few glances.

Soon Wu Man burned the paper with a lighter, closed his eyes, and his lips began to move. When he opened his eyes again, a hint of brightness appeared in them, and a faint wave surrounded his body, with a slight consumption of the mottled Spiritual Energy within.

Strands of Spiritual Energy circled joyously around him.

Wu Man’s slight excitement did not last long, and he quickly realized something.

This was a brand new route for developing his Spiritual Ability.

The youth looked at the handsome face before him, his eyes touched with emotion, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, sir. I will guard this secret with my life."

"No need to be so formal; it’s just a small technique... During the second use of your ability, try to imagine yourself as one of them," Wang Jixuan suggested,

"You might try not issuing commands, but... send out a distress call instead."

"A distress call?" Wu Man looked puzzled.

Wang Jixuan folded his arms and said with a smile, "Is it hard to understand? These Basic Blade Beasts can’t discern where their commands are coming from. If you change your command into a distress call, it’s as if a General Level Blade Beast is asking for help, the Basic Blade Beasts should be more eager to come out and meet their end."

"Okay," Wu Man replied, "I understand."

After a while, Wu Man once again took a prayerful posture, the signal light on his helmet flickering rapidly.

’Save... me...’

The desert was quiet for a few minutes.

Then, several technicians shouted from the command vehicle at the same time:

"12, 34, 56, 36, 15... so many are rushing to the surface!"

"All six passages are filled with Blade Beasts! All thirty-five non-core groups have been mobilized!"
