Chapter 630: Chapter 285: Take a Chance!_2

Are these humans finally about to experience real fear?

Those who pride themselves on justice, shout for freedom, and think they can save human civilization with mere passion, should also consider how to rely on the power of Spirit Cultivators...

An old man in a bathrobe, holding a drink, passed by from behind the Tai Chenggang’s desk.

Attracted by the scene here, the old man smiled and came closer.

"Not out yet?"

"No," Tai Chenggang replied without turning his head, speaking with a slightly hoarse voice, "Fu Jian and his group are already in this area."

"Great, hope this Pillar can crush Fu Jian and his little Mechanical Puppies!"

The old man took a sip of his drink, carefully observing the scene, then shook his head, pretending to comment professionally:

"They’re likely to waste a batch of nuclear bombs!

"If Fu Jian can’t hold on, will he let us out? Old Tai, do you think this possibility is likely?"

"It’s not very likely," Tai Chenggang said slowly, "If Fu Jian is going to die, he will decisively press the nuclear bomb button and take us six along."

"Damn! Then I’d better go put on my protective suit! Why didn’t you remind me!"

"Because Fu Jian likely won’t reach the end of the road."

Tai Chenggang raised his hand, rubbing his forehead, speaking softly:

"Beyond listening to the teachings of the three Lords, can you all get back some intelligence and analyze the current situation carefully?

"If I hadn’t been holding on desperately, no one would have come to this place long ago, we would have already been overshadowed by those ambitious young people!"

The old man smiled wryly: "Capable people do more work... This kind of thing is indeed too boring, we’ve been trapped here for more than fifty years, without finding something amusing, we would surely go mad."

He beckoned to the side, and a chair flew over, landing steadily behind him.

The old man calmly sat down, staring at the projection screen for a long time.

The old man murmured softly: "How long can this Pillar remain active?"

"About three or four days."

Tai Chenggang’s fingers tapped on the desktop:

"I consulted with the three Lords, this time the Blade Beast is using a sacrificial method to combat the power of the Sleeping Circuit, the Sleeping Circuit is still functioning, and this circuit draws from the Pillar Blade Beast’s own power.

"The good news is, when this Pillar Blade Beast falls asleep again, it will wake later than other Pillar Blade Beasts.

"There’s also bad news, do you want to hear it?"

"Let’s hear it?"

Tai Chenggang sneered: "If the Sixth Pillar manages to seize the core circuit of the No.4 Spirit Cultivator and destroy this circuit, all Pillars will awaken early, and we will face complete destruction."

"Don’t be so pessimistic," the old man chuckled, "the three Lords can lead us away, can’t they?"

’Even the three Lords would struggle to protect themselves! You idiot! Has your brain’s cortex developed E. coli?’

Tai Chenggang cursed in his heart, not speaking it aloud, as every move of the six of them could be monitored by the three Lords underground.

Tai Chenggang patiented himself, saying: "What I mean is, if Fu Jian truly can’t hold on, we should invest the strength we’ve prepared as well, to stall this Sixth Pillar as much as possible until it falls asleep again."

"Why?" the old man was full of confusion, "Do you want to help Fu Jian? Isn’t it better to let them dog-eat-dog? This is the instruction of the three Lords, decided unanimously by the six of us."

"It’s not to help Fu Jian... Enough, let’s not talk about this topic anymore!"

Tai Chenggang waved his hand irritably, snatched the old man’s drink nearby, and guzzled down a big gulp.

He frowned: "You added lemon and chili to the milk again?"

"My taste buds need stimulation... and... this is not milk, it’s a man stimulated by medication... ugh!"

Tai Chenggang stuffed the cup into the old man’s mouth beside him, turned his head and spat several times.

He shook his head and continued to observe the frontline situation.

The old man chuckled, not minding, adjusted his robe and sat back down, his eyes which had lost focus, gradually regained a bit of energy.

"Old Tai, do you long to go outside?"

"Yes."

"Is there a chance this time?"

"No."

"That’s too bad," the old man said regretfully, "then let the Pillar Blade Beast kill more of Fu Jian’s Mechanical Puppies, I really want to see Fu Jian’s old face mourning."

Tai Chenggang showed no further interest in conversing.

Behind the railing on the second floor, two old men clung to the railing, watching intently.

They each bantered, with a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

As long as the Blade Beast is strong enough, they can gain more negotiating power with Fu Jian, and human society will once again depend on them.

"Will Fu Jian encounter a death threat? Should we wear protective suits?"

An elderly person asked worriedly.

Tai Chenggang couldn’t be bothered to answer.

...

Two hours later.

kilometers from the Sixth Pillar’s awakening area, at Human Military’s frontline No.2 logistics relay point.

By the window on one side of the tower, several tower dispatchers stared wide-eyed at the over fifty-meter-high black ancient tower slowly descending from the sky.

One side of this temporary airport had already been cordoned off, with a large number of high-level mechanical bodies patrolling around, seemingly protecting this ancient tower.

Once the ancient tower stabilized, two large transport planes landed on either side, and long-awaited supply vehicles moved forward to provide energy supplements and body checks.

Wang Jixuan looked out at the airport through the porthole, observing these busy figures and feeling the agitation of spiritual energy from all directions. The distant low roar carried by the wind stirred some fighting spirit in his eyes.

Indeed, a nap before battle is useful;

His thoughts became increasingly active, and his communication with the Dragon Python Soul became much smoother.

The few storage magical artifacts he carried had been checked twice.

After this period of martial preparation, both he and the War Puppet were at the peak of battle power in their current stage.

Next, it was time to fight.

"It’s just ahead."

No. 5’s clear voice remained so calm.

She had already faced the Pillar Blade Beast many times, having slain three or four of them at her peak. However, now her strength was less than thirty percent of her peak, and facing a Pillar Level Blade Beast alone... she would easily be seen as prey.

Wang Jixuan asked, "How strong is a just-awakened Pillar Level Blade Beast?"

"If a Pillar Level Blade Beast doesn’t have lethal injuries, its combat power won’t be significantly affected; they’re basically always in their peak period."

No. 5 gave a brief overview:

"Several points to note... let me think...

"First, don’t think that just because it’s gigantic, you can easily employ tactics like drilling holes—we’ve tried that before. Once inside, you’ll face the attack of hundreds of King-level Crystal Core energies.

"Second, when it releases a spiritual impact, be sure to avoid the main impact area. Its spiritual impact can injure me at my peak, and it creates a bizarre zone of space-time distortion, so try not to get too close.

"Additionally, it will release a kind of interference that disturbs your soul."

"Interfere with the soul?"

"Yes, I’ve been interfered with before, hearing countless cries and wails in my ears—extremely annoying."

No. 5 shrugged:

"That’s basically it. When we see it later, I’ll give you a more detailed explanation.

"I can sense it now in the shallow underground layers; it hasn’t fully risen, probably connecting and mobilizing all the Blade Beasts in this area.

"Oh, one more extremely important point... the Pillar Blade Beast has the ability to temporarily evolve the Blade Beast Group. The closer you get to the Pillar Blade Beast, the stronger those General, Sub-King Level, and even King-level Blade Beasts become—the lower their level, the more pronounced the enhancement.

"This is the ideal war machine of the War God Council Court."

Wang Jixuan:...

It seems this is even more troublesome than he imagined.

Bringing the Demon Suppression Tower close to a Pillar Level Blade Beast isn’t easy.

In other words, he couldn’t dominate this war; he was a participant and needed the Human Military to open a path forward for him to attempt using the Demon Suppression Tower to seal this entity.

Whether it could be sealed, and how effective the sealing would be, were all unknown factors.

At present, every application he submitted, even every word he spoke, could cause the human camp to expend vast resources and suffer a huge loss of elite troops...

This pressure made the Daoist somewhat uncomfortable, but he knew he had to bear it.

’This Red Dust Heart Refining now, it seems more intense than the emotional tribulation refining.’

"Sir!"

Mu Dan quickly said beside him:

"The Commander orders our unit to serve as a reserve team at the rear, temporarily not engaging in frontline assaults. No member of our unit is allowed to leave the transport plane; priority is on observing the opponent’s offensive before making decisions.

"The Commander personally noted—in necessary circumstances, we can trade space for time, all for the final victory of humanity!"

"Understood."

Wang Jixuan replied solemnly.

kilometers... still a bit too far...

"Mu Dan, help me check Lao Fu’s position."
