An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 421 Fierce Fight

"roll!"

The lizard envoy roared and unleashed a flurry of punches in all directions. His fists blurred into afterimages in the air, as if a dozen hands had appeared in an instant. Each strike accurately knocked down the flying swords, and the powerful force of his punches twisted and deformed the swords, revealing the heroic spirit's formidable physique.

However, although all the flying swords that seemed to be attacking were smashed, after a wave of attacks, everyone was shocked to find that the backs of the lizard envoy's hands were covered in blood!
"this!"

Ormond and the others stared in shock.

"The flying swords of the Sky Guardians are merely the carriers; the real killing power lies in the wisp of Gengjin sword energy contained within them."

"This sword energy is extremely sharp. Even if the flying sword itself is destroyed, the sword energy will still shoot out and cause damage."

Shea looked at the lizard messenger, whose hands were covered in blood, and smiled: "It seems that this lizard's skin is not strong enough to absorb this sword energy."

Shea pointed a finger and parted her red lips slightly: "Go!"

"Boom!!!"

More flying swords flew out of the sword box and charged towards the lizard god's envoy!

These flying swords, made of an unknown material, moved like fish riding the waves in this anti-air law, so fast that there was no time to react. Even the divine messenger could only defend against them and could not dodge them!
The lizard envoy roared and threw punches one after another. Each punch could destroy a flying sword, but the power in his body was also being consumed rapidly. He was blocked by the continuous flying swords and kept three thousand meters away from the floating gunship, unable to advance an inch!
Everyone was shocked. They hadn't expected that this floating gunship could actually suppress a powerful Heroic Spirit! No wonder it was a weapon specially prepared for its members by the Blood Crystal Royal Family!

Just as everyone was in shock, the divine messenger suddenly turned around, no longer resisting the anti-air law, and flew downwards.

The crowd watching from the gunboat immediately erupted in suppressed cheers. The four Awakened Ones were alright, but the human prey showed uncontrollable excitement on their faces. Since the day the divine envoy descended, their army had been crushed without any resistance. Even their strongest member, Cang Kai, who was hailed as the greatest martial arts genius in history, was no match for that divine envoy.

In everyone's mind, the divine messenger was an invincible symbol, but now, this symbol had been injured!

Even with their internal energy suppressed, this still excited everyone, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope.

No matter how strong the boss is, once its health bar is revealed, it is possible to kill it!
However, only Shia remained solemn.

"Don't be too happy too early."

"The opponent is not retreating, but choosing to preserve its strength, which shows that it truly regards us as an opponent, and we will only become more difficult to deal with in the future."

Shia's words calmed the joy on everyone's faces. They looked down and saw the divine messenger directly below the floating gunship, staring at them with a sinister look through his yellow-green vertical pupils.

Being stared at by that gaze, and thinking of the other party's formidable strength, a chill ran down my spine.

And Shia guessed correctly. Her previous shot had enraged the lizard god's messenger, who was extremely devoted to the god of hunting, to the extreme. He was determined to tear this arrogant human to pieces immediately, and then torture the others so that they would please the god in the hunting ritual and atone for their sins.

But now it realizes that the methods of these awakened ones far surpass those of the ordinary kings it usually encounters, and it has finally transformed from an enraged believer into a calm hunter.

Such an enemy is the most dangerous and deadly.

"He is recovering his strength. It must be a racial trait; the energy in his body recovers very quickly."

"Is he planning to wait until the second hour to unleash more power before coming back?"

Kaza's eyes flashed; the lizard messenger made no attempt to hide it, and everyone could sense the change in his energy.

Suddenly, it moved again, its figure completely disappearing into the primeval forest, and its aura vanished.

This feeling of not being able to see the enemy, but knowing clearly that they were being watched, made everyone uneasy.

Shia narrowed her eyes and said, "I said, we only have a chance in the first round. We must force it to make a move according to the original plan. We absolutely cannot drag it out until it unlocks more of its power!"

"Yes!"

The crowd responded in unison, and the floating gunship turned in mid-air, flying towards the altar. At the same time, the alloy armor below folded inward, revealing a giant cannon barrel with a radius of more than twenty meters.

It is the main gun of the airship!
"The lizardmen won't stand by and watch us desecrate the altar. When the main cannon is charging up, it will consume energy output, weakening the anti-air array's effect. That will be their best opportunity to strike."

Everyone had already made a plan. At this moment, with Shia's order, the internal spirit gathering array instantly emitted a brilliant spiritual light, and the powerful energy flowed into the main cannon through thousands of spiritual energy pipes!

"Om-"

A muffled roar came from the floating gunboat, and the gun barrels lit up section by section, like a giant beast awakening from its slumber!

Five minutes later, the cannon was fully charged, and the floating gunship slowly moved to a position only five kilometers away from the altar. At this distance, the power of the psionic cannon would not decrease much!
"Kakaka!"

The cannon barrel moved slowly, aiming precisely at the altar!
"boom!"

At that moment, a loud bang came from directly below the gunboat, and a huge shockwave swept outwards. In the center of the shockwave, the lizard envoy rushed towards the floating gunboat like a cannonball!

"So you really couldn't hold back?"

Shia's brow twitched. He realized that the divine messenger had used some kind of secret technique to solidify the rocks beneath his feet into a large block, thus providing ample recoil force during the jump.

Its sudden burst of power cracked the ground within a mile radius, and correspondingly, thanks to its powerful physique, its speed increased to thirty times the speed of sound!
Even though Shia was prepared and raised the floating gunship to a height of 20,000 meters, it was still no match for this astonishing speed!
However, since Shia had chosen to force the other party out, how could she have been unprepared! "Buzz!"

As the invisible ripples spread, the anti-air formation was activated again. This time, the power of the anti-air formation not only did not weaken at all, but it became even stronger!
However, it was the awakened ones on the gunboat who used their own power to maintain the operation of the anti-air formation through the spirit gathering array!

The lizard messenger's speed visibly decreased. It let out a low roar and its whole body burst out with dazzling spiritual light, directly pushing its energy output to the limit!

Even with its energy limited to only one-fifth, it still possessed the output of an ordinary heroic spirit! Utilizing its initial speed, it actually managed to force its way up the anti-air formation!

Furthermore, its initial velocity was too high; the Sky Guards simply didn't have time to intercept it!

In the blink of an eye, it was less than a kilometer away from the floating gunboat! And it was maintaining a speed of more than ten times the speed of sound!
It intends to use its own physical body to forcefully pierce through the floating gunboat!
Everyone's expression turned solemn, but Shia remained calm and composed, instead revealing a smile of triumph.

Just as the lizard god's envoy was about to pierce through the floating gunship, eight slender cannon barrels suddenly split off from the side of the main cannon barrel, which was already full of energy!

These cannons have folded "joints," like flexible spider legs, which lock firmly onto the charging lizard messenger the moment they extend!

The next instant, the light in the main cannon suddenly dissipated, as if a river had been cut off out of thin air. The accumulated energy was divided into eight parts, each supplying one of the side cannons!
Furthermore, eight jet-black crystals had been quietly embedded in the eight side cannons at some unknown time, and were now emitting a chilling black light.

It is indeed the [Super Magic Crystal]!
"go with!"

With a gentle flick of Shia's finger, the energy that had been accumulating and compressed to its limit suddenly erupted! All eight cannons lit up at the same time, and eight beams of light shot out from them. The light was so fast that even a King-level Awakener couldn't catch it. Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and the next moment, something happened that left them dumbfounded.

The eight beams of light were like eight sharp blades, precisely piercing through the body of the lizard envoy. Not only was this powerful hero unable to dodge the attack of the spiritual energy cannon, but even more exaggeratedly, its terrifying body could not withstand the energy compressed to the extreme!
Under the horrified and furious gaze of the divine messenger, its body was pierced with eight large holes, each over ten centimeters in diameter.

This is the trump card that Shia prepared!

Although the main guns of the floating gunships are extremely powerful, they are too cumbersome and only suitable for destroying large targets, but powerless against high-level experts.

The anti-air formation and the air-riding iron guards can only delay high-level awakened individuals, but they cannot kill them at all. Moreover, their weakness is obvious: as long as the opponent is prepared in advance and rushes in from a distance at high initial speed, the anti-air formation will be broken before it can take effect.

As the pinnacle of Blood Crystal Civilization's technology, it naturally wouldn't have such a weakness. The eight side cannons near the main cannon were created specifically for this purpose!

They share the same energy source as the main cannon and can transfer the energy stored in the main cannon to the side cannons at any time. These eight side cannons are psionic cannons that pursue speed and penetrating power to the extreme. Their speed is so fast that even a demigod would find it difficult to dodge them all at close range within ten kilometers!

Its penetrating power is also astonishing. When fully charged with energy and enhanced by the [Super Magic Crystal], it is powerful enough to injure a demigod! No matter how strong the Lizard God's body is, it is impossible to block this attack!
Of course, the floating gunship is still a King-level weapon after all. Even with the blessing of the [Super Magic Crystal], it would be too absurd to injure an enemy across two major ranks. Therefore, it is naturally limited, namely, its excessive pursuit of penetrating power reduces its power.

Some of these attacks pierced the lizard messenger's joints, while others destroyed its internal organs, but none of them were fatal. A wound ten centimeters in diameter was nothing compared to its six- or seven-meter-long body.

The lizard messenger's face showed no fear, only a raging fury like a volcanic eruption!
"You are seeking death!"

It never dreamed that these people could actually hurt it!

Being severely injured under the watchful eyes of the gods is undoubtedly a great humiliation for it!

The lizard god's flesh surged, and his injuries healed at an astonishing speed.

The lizard possesses a strong regenerative ability, but these eight psionic lasers still severely injured it, causing the energy flow within its body to stagnate. Its entire body was suppressed by the anti-air formation, and by the time the surface of its injuries had healed, its speed had plummeted to zero!
After the Lizard God's Envoy's speed was suppressed by the anti-air formation, the Sky Guards had rebuilt the encirclement. Moreover, a figure holding a rapier appeared in the void, none other than Zoltan!

His eyes were fixed on the lizard messenger, an invisible aura locking onto him!

The Duelist's core skill, [Forced Duel]! After locking onto a target, it greatly enhances the ability to detect all changes in the target's status and applies buffs such as [Weakness Detection], [Dynamic Prediction], and [All Attribute Boost]! Furthermore, if the locked target attempts to escape the duelist, they will suffer continuous mental damage.

The most difficult part of the Duelist class is locking onto the opponent in a [Forced Duel]. Before being locked onto, the enemy has many ways to break free, but once locked onto, the opponent is almost invincible in one-on-one combat against opponents of the same rank and rating!
Zoltan did not hesitate at all, and his rapier thrust out like a venomous snake!

This was a legendary weapon, and even the Lizard God Envoy dared not be careless. He could only raise his hand and use the scales on the back of his hand to block it. However, Zoltan's swordsmanship was superb. At the moment of contact, he twisted and flicked the blade, which darted into the gaps in the scales like a snake, and forcefully pierced a bloody hole in the weakest point of the defense!
The lizard messenger was both angry and helpless. If it continued to charge forward, its already unhealed body would suffer even more attacks. With its opponent possessing a legendary weapon and its speed restricted by the anti-air formation, it dared not be so reckless as to expose its back to the opponent.

Left with no other choice, I had to turn around and try my best to get rid of this annoying ant as soon as possible.

However, more and more Sky Guards arrived to provide support, and flying swords shot in from all directions. Two other King-level warriors also appeared nearby to provide remote support. No matter how strong the Lizard God Envoy was, he was unable to kill Zoltan in the face of so many Sky Guards and was forced to stay in place!
Meanwhile, Shia was not idle either. She kept casting spells and manipulating the floating gunship to move further and widen the distance, while the main cannon charged up again!
This time, she held nothing back. All eight super magic crystals shone brightly at once, drawing all the energy of the entire gunship into the main cannon, which was aimed directly at the altar!
Upon seeing this, the lizard messenger's eyes instantly turned blood red. It swayed and, ignoring all attacks, charged toward the main cannon!

"Bang bang bang!"

The three King-level Awakened attacked in succession, creating three huge bloody holes in its body, but it still ignored them and charged towards the floating gunship like a madman.

But Shia naturally wouldn't let it have its way. One after another, the Sky Guards stood like an insurmountable barrier between the divine messenger and the floating cannons. Under the effect of the anti-air formation, the speed of the lizard divine messenger was suppressed infinitely.

The defenses that it couldn't break through before are now severely damaged, making it even less likely to get through.

In this way, it is left with only one choice.
An unprecedented hatred erupted in the lizard messenger's eyes. He never expected that the ant in his eyes could drive him to this point!

But right now, no matter how unwilling it is, it has no other choice.

Its body plummeted downwards, and in the blink of an eye, the lizard envoy swooped down tens of thousands of meters. After breaking free from the anti-air formation, it accelerated again and finally rushed to the middle of the main cannon and the altar before the main cannon could finish charging!

The next instant, a dazzling light shone, and the figure of the lizard envoy was completely swallowed up by the intense light!
