Chapter 429: Chapter 204: The Most Explosive Use of the Flying Sword_2

On the outer perimeter, there was the area covered by the remote firepower of the human encampment and key regions targeted by aerial bombardment.

Despite the immense cost and exorbitant expense, the Blade Beast Group couldn’t make the slightest advance at this moment.

In the airspace behind, more than a dozen fifteen-meter level half-human mechas, belonging to the exclusive mecha units, were being carried forward by heavy unmanned transport aircraft, constantly unleashing their firepower in the sky.

This was the second echelon assault force composed of half-human mecha teams like Lingtong, Deep Sea, and several reserve half-human mechas.

They were about to be deployed into the battlefield.

The path, found!

Wang Jixuan’s eyes, behind the armor panel, burst with light.

He summoned his flying sword, turned his head to Zheng Shiduo waiting by his side, and said, "Nuclear bomb!"

"Right here!"

Zheng Shiduo, foregoing his image, wearing the powerful X armor, knelt down directly and flipped open the briefcase he had received just minutes before, revealing an object inside about the size of a football.

Sweat began to bead on his palms.

Although the yield wasn’t high compared to a thermonuclear weapon, once detonated, it would undoubtedly produce a more significant explosion than the self-destruction of a half-human mecha’s fuel cell.

Wang Jixuan caught the flying sword and, from his waist pouch, took out several disks and screws he had prepared in advance, quickly fitting them onto the flying sword. He took the miniature nuclear bomb and fixed it in place.

Zheng Shiduo handed over two disc-shaped components.

These were holographic devices that could optically camouflage the miniature nuclear bomb.

Zheng Shiduo quickly explained:

"There’s strong electromagnetic interference around that round hole, so this thing might not be remotely activated. There are two ways to activate it: one is timed, and the other is a mechanical switch. The mechanical switch involves these buttons on the back, red, green, and blue. Press them in the sequence of red, red, green, green, blue, red, green with no more than two seconds in between to successfully activate it."

"These devices are usually used for suicidal attacks. I suggest you set a timer."

"No need, I can directly press the buttons using the air."

Wang Jixuan agreed simply, activated the formation, took the elixir, and his sword fingers shook rapidly.

The flying sword trembled slightly, carrying the miniature nuclear bomb toward the path opened by Mu Dan and the Maid Group.

Everyone clenched their sweat-drenched hands.

But apart from Wu Man, they didn’t know how they could help.

Wang Jixuan didn’t aim for speed at first; he only sought stability. The underground tunnels crawling with Blade Beasts like an ant nest appeared in his mind, and he made the flying sword transparent, making nimble turns around corners and crannies.

The Blade Beasts had not yet detected it;

In half a minute, Wang Jixuan’s flying sword had only traveled four hundred meters, entering two hundred meters under the ground.

Some Preachers in the tunnels noticed the trace of the flying sword.

You can’t hide the fluctuation of Spiritual Energy.

Wang Jixuan said softly, "Wu Man, act now."

"Okay," Wu Man took a deep breath, spread his hands wide, then brought them together forcefully, fixing his gaze toward the area near the underground flying sword.

A layer of sacred light emerged behind the boy, and a powerful psychic wave surged downwards.

Gurgle—

The underground Blade Beast Group suddenly burst into chaos, attacking their neighbors frenziedly.

Now was the moment!

Wang Jixuan’s eyes shone with a blue light, his mana rapidly depleting as he frenziedly replenished it with surrounding Spiritual Energy, his body resonating with a tumultuous roar!

The flying sword’s speed suddenly surged!

Wang Jixuan wrapped the nuclear bomb in his mana, allowing the flying sword to accelerate recklessly.

His mind and senses were entrusted to the flying sword, switching his perspective to the first-person view of the flying sword, racing forward through the chaotic, dark tunnels filled with the Blade Beasts’ blade limbs and terrifying maws.

Taking turns and sudden surges, almost unimpeded ahead!

With 40% of his mana remaining, the flying sword delved five hundred meters deep;

With 30% mana left, eight hundred meters deep!

The flying sword reached the interior of the ’pot-like’ structure and, following the Blade Beast tunnels, surged toward the open space ahead.

He saw it!

Through the flying sword, he truly saw it!

The shimmering interstellar gate, the underground Stone Hall illuminated in its entirety, and the Blade Beast Groups of all levels—Generals, Sub-King Level, high-level, middle-level, and Basic Blade Beasts—streaming toward the ’Fake Interstellar Gate’!

Similarly, Wang Jixuan also saw, through the image revealed by the membrane of the gate,

Red Snake surrounded by the Blade Beast Group, her body covered with green wounds, amidst countless explosive flashes.

She was nearly spent.

And in front of that gate, a King-level Preacher held aloft a Scepter.

Wang Jixuan did not hesitate; almost within a breath, he made his decision.

This flying sword, he would leave it here!

Red, red, green, green, blue, red, green—the seven key presses were completed within two seconds.

The nuclear bomb was activated, beginning to tremble incessantly, with layers of light circles appearing within!

The King-level Preacher seemed to sense something, turning his head toward the miniature nuclear bomb hurtling toward the gate.

Wang Jixuan spared no expense, his flying sword didn’t break free from the nuclear bomb to retreat, but instead targeted that King-level Preacher, firing at full speed!

This strike was like a comet chasing the sun!

More than a dozen sonic booms erupted from the flying sword, and before the King-level Preacher could react, the tip of the sword had already reached just above its conjunctiva.

The conjunctiva tore open, revealing its dreadful mouthparts inside, where rings of sharp teeth instinctively contracted backward, and the flying sword penetrated into where the King-level Preacher’s soul was hidden.

He jammed the nuclear bomb directly into the mouthparts of the King-level Preacher!

Wang Jixuan exerted his last bit of mana, transmitting it into the flying sword from a distance.

His chanting turned into the humming of the flying sword!

"With the three souls severed, and the seven spirits unable to sing, Heaven and Earth block passage, and the ghostly spirits cannot rise—hurry up, as per the order!"

This was the Soul Refining Evil Curse, at this moment Wang Jixuan wasn’t aiming to directly refine the soul of the King-level Preacher; he couldn’t achieve that level right now.

But once this Evil Curse was cast, the King-level Preacher went into a haze for a few seconds.

Just a few seconds were already enough.

It lost the sole chance to spit out the nuclear bomb and escape through the gate!

The miniature nuclear bomb was fully activated!

Beep beep beep.

Humm——

A blazing white light burst forth, filling the entire space of the stone hall with brightness.

Wang Jixuan quickly withdrew his spirit, renounced his own flying sword, and forcefully cut off his connection with it.

With his last glance, he looked towards the Fake Interstellar Gate.

As he had predicted, at the moment when the miniature nuclear bomb detonated, the patterns on the gate were almost simultaneously triggered, and the gate sank into a distorted space.

The energy of the miniature nuclear bomb was insufficient to forcefully breach such a space barrier...

Darkness suddenly enveloped his vision.

Wang Jixuan looked down and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body just about to lean back when he barely managed to steady himself.

"Prepare... for the shock..."

Boom!

A huge hum came from underground, a powerful electromagnetic pulse sweeping across from beneath.

The aerial fleet, which had already evacuated in advance, was mostly dispersed, only a small number of unlucky drones, due to signal interference and their auto-return systems being damaged, crashed directly into the forest.

Not far ahead, a small hill collapsed downwards.

The armors of the people around Wang Jixuan automatically activated their radiation protection devices, as the radiation levels at this site skyrocketed.

This type of contamination was intense but fleeting compared to the direct discharge of nuclear waste water.

On the radar interface, a vast area below had been swept clean.

"King-level Crystal Core energy detected!"

"King-level Crystal Core energy disappeared! Judged to be... detonated!"

"The King-level Preacher has been taken out!"

Cheers were transmitted through the communication channel.

Yet, Wang Jixuan couldn’t bring himself to smile.

Well then, the flying sword he had painstakingly refined, just like that, was gone.

The flying sword could be refined again, but killing a King-level Preacher was indeed a precious victory.

Right at that moment.

A strange voice came through Wang Jixuan’s earpiece:

"My division is ordered to support the D5 battle zone, the flying squad has been assembled, wishing you victory and the recovery of lost territory."

Zheng Shiduo cursed, "Damn it, they always come after the fight is over!"

"That’s politics," Master Wang said deeply.

He was reviving some of his mana with the Spiritual Energy released by the surrounding Spirit Releasing Array; at this moment, his Spiritual Sense could not clearly see the core area of the underground explosion.

But he was already sensing that the gate still stood tall, and although the passageways around it had collapsed, in the outer regions, an endless and terrifying number of Blade Beasts were still converging underground towards the direction of the gate.

The King-level Preacher was already dead;

But the Blade Beast’s command system seemed to be still functioning?

What?

A hint of doubt surfaced in Master Wang’s mind.

And just then...

Gurgle—

"You... killed me..."

Wang Jixuan turned his head slightly, his vision suddenly darkened, and the figures around him seemed to vanish at the same time, and he saw the ghostly shadow of the King-level Preacher slowly appearing beside him.

The ghostly shadow of the King-level Preacher.
