Chapter 515 I'll Destroy It for You
The ground battlefield was neither as high and unpredictable as the celestial realm, nor as cautious as the aerial shamans; it was just as brutal and merciless as the previous two.

Missiles whistled through the sky, blasting countless members of the Wu tribe into the air. Once the defenders in the front lines were wiped out, artillery and missiles were used to clear the positions, then another wave of troops was sent in to retake them. This cycle repeated, from wiping out the remaining troops to clearing the ground.

For countless ordinary people, all that remained in their memories was the huddled together in shelters, listening to the earth tremble and deafening explosions outside. Amidst the thunderous roar, the world seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Then, at some point, they rushed to the front lines, and what followed was a desperate battle.

Then, the number of witches around them kept increasing as they were killed, until finally one of the witches plunged his weapon into his own body.

They didn't know how many people had died ahead of them, nor did they know if they would survive if they charged forward. All they knew was the carnage happening in the area around them.

Even if they rushed to the front lines and saw mountains of corpses, they had no time to think or feel fear, as the enemy would appear before them immediately.

The sudden power also made their blood boil and reduced their pain. Even though they were seriously injured, they only thought about how to take the enemy in front of them with them on their way.

This is the entire combat experience of an ordinary warrior.

In the long scroll of history, they only saw a few small windows throughout their lives.

The battle between Wei Yuan and the Sniper is still ongoing. Overall, Wei Yuan is at a disadvantage, but since gaining the upper hand in the conquest of the Heart World, the situation has improved considerably. With the help of the Azure Aura buff, although Wei Yuan's energy expenditure is greater than the Sniper's, he can still fight for another ten days or so.

Now that the battle has progressed to this point, Human Fireworks has begun to analyze the Sniper's combat style and spellcasting habits, and has started to intentionally drive it toward the direction of being devoured by the Mind World.

Soon, the sniper fell into the trap.

After a flash, it suddenly realized that almost all the mental worlds around it had vanished in an instant, leaving only one or two fragments. Instinctively, it moved to one of them, only to find Wei Yuan already waiting there!
Given the odds of choosing one of two options, Wei Yuan would almost always choose the right one based on intuition. The moment the sniper feather appeared, its brutality, tinged with a dim yellow light, had already pierced the base of its tail, almost severing the entire tail!
The sniper let out a shriek and dodged away again. That shot had given it the first sense of dread that its life was threatened. Fortunately, the life-reducing effect of the Immortal Path Twilight didn't seem to be as severe as the legends said; the single shot only cut off a little over ninety years of its lifespan.

But even a little less is still a portion of one's lifespan, and once it's gone, it's hard to make up for it. That's why the sniper absolutely doesn't want to take a second shot.

In the ensuing battle, he was extremely cautious, but somehow he fell into a trap while chasing Wei Yuan and was shot again. This time, the wound wasn't deep, but the Immortal Path Twilight had still taken away ninety years of his lifespan!

Nearly two hundred years of lifespan had inexplicably been lost, a loss even a spirit witch like the Sniper, whose innate lifespan was exceptionally long, would find difficult to bear. It began to ask Red Leaf if a truce could be reached.

But Hongye remained unmoved, letting the attack continue. Clearly, Wei Yuan was still at a disadvantage; if the fight continued, Wei Yuan would likely be the first to give out. But in the process, it was unknown how many more strikes of Immortal Path Twilight would be dealt to Juling.

Wei Yuan carefully maintained the balance of the battlefield, focusing at least half of his energy on the ground. Without his central command and coordination, and his support for all beings at crucial moments, the ground battlefield would have collapsed long ago.

Mortals are no match for ordinary witch warriors. Only by blessing all living beings can mortals hold the line and fight back and forth.

Wei Yuan was still waiting. Since four streams of purple energy had already arrived, the four great masters should be arriving soon. They would be the variable in the entire war, and no one could predict what would happen next.

As if she was getting impatient, Hongye slowly stood up, then raised her right hand, and a red lightning ball appeared in her palm!

Suddenly, countless leaves appeared on the city of Ding'an. Each leaf was as thin as a cicada's wing, red and translucent, emitting a faint glow.

But the two sides within the city were locked in a fierce, life-or-death battle, and neither noticed the changes in the sky. Countless red leaves converged and intertwined to form a gigantic red leaf sphere, several meters tall. Crimson lightning began to rise from the surface of the sphere, its claws bared, radiating terrifying power!
Wei Yuan's expression changed, and he tried to rush forward, but was held back by the sniper's feathers. The red lightning ball took shape in a few breaths. Everyone in the city suddenly felt their hair stand on end. They looked up at the same time and saw a dark red, transparent lightning ball, crackling with countless bolts of lightning, fall silently into the ground!
Suddenly, the center of Ding'an City rose up, as if the ground had been blasted open by an invisible giant beast. Countless blood-red lightning bolts spread in all directions like spiders crawling, and shock waves spread out layer by layer. Whether human or witch, the moment the impact swept over them, their eyes would be distorted like waves, and then their gazes would be frozen.

Ding'an City, like a soft, pliable dough, undulated back and forth several times. From the second time onward, little vitality remained in the city.

At this time, Ding'an City was completely outside the boundary, and even the Weiyu could not activate the Peerless Dao Domain defense.

Suddenly, a small, radiant jade mountain appeared in the city, firmly protecting the slender figure inside amidst wave after wave of impacts!
Wei Yuan's expression changed drastically in an instant. Bao Yun!
Wei Yuan had originally instructed her to hide in the newly built defensive fortifications behind Ding'an City, where she would direct the attack and defense. Unexpectedly, she secretly slipped into Ding'an City without a word and took command from the front.

This reduces command steps and allows for faster and more accurate responses, but it also puts oneself in danger.

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Yuanfang Hongye's lips, and she instantly conveyed a thought to Wei Yuan: Use your magic weapon, and I will let her go!

Without hesitation, Wei Yuan replied with a "Okay," then took out a Yang bullet, loaded it, and stared at the sniper. A bitter look flashed in the sniper's eyes, and he stopped dodging.

Just then, Hongye suddenly flicked her finger, and the ring on her thumb instantly transformed into a bright red maple leaf, which appeared in front of Baoyun in an instant and cut down!

Hongye burst into laughter: "Keep your magic weapon, I was just kidding!"

Wei Yuan was shocked and rushed to save her, but it was too late.

The red leaf seemed to drift in the wind, drawing a graceful arc and leaving a thin, bright red trail in the air as it brushed past Bao Yun's body!
Suddenly, the small jade mountain was covered with cracks, like cracked porcelain, and then shattered and exploded with a muffled thud. Sparks instantly burst forth from Bao Yun's body, and in an instant, more than a dozen different protective magic treasures and talismans were activated, only to be destroyed after exceeding their limits.

Everything happened too fast. Amidst the crackling explosions, Bao Yun instinctively curled up, fear finally showing in her eyes. After all, she was just a girl not yet twenty, and apart from the martial arts test, she had never faced death directly in her life.

She clenched her teeth tightly, remaining silent despite her fear and pain.

Hongye sneered, "You might survive the collapse of the starry sky, but you can't escape my natal curse. How about it? I'll destroy everything you like and care about right before your eyes! But if you hand over Qingming, all of this can be avoided. This is beyond saving, but the others..."

Before she finished speaking, a phantom image of a towering tree suddenly appeared on Bao Yun's body. Then a red line appeared on the tree trunk, and the enormous tree slowly split apart from the red line, turning into two pieces before crashing down with a roar.

Taking advantage of the moment, Bao Yun vanished from her original spot in a flash, having simultaneously activated her magic treasures for concealment and teleportation.

Hongye was somewhat surprised and said, "There's actually such a substitute method! But you got away this time, what about next time? Do the others have this kind of substitute method too?"

A sinister glint appeared in her eyes as Hongye said one last time, "I'll say it again: hand over Qingming, and I'll let you all leave. I only want that boundary stone!"

At that moment, a deafening roar erupted, and the ravaged city of Ding'an collapsed completely, turning into rubble.
