Chapter 434 Hunting the King's Seed!

next second.

No communication is required.

A reaction stemming from professional instinct dominated every reporter present.

Their movements were almost synchronized.

The expensive dashcam and telephoto lens in his hand were suddenly turned around.

Without hesitation, they shifted their focus from the main battlefield beach, where blood and flesh flew everywhere and the momentum was overwhelming, and turned their attention to the sea and sky that had just been torn apart by the terrifying crimson pillar of light.

Only a few wide-angle lenses remain.

It also barely manages to capture the macro view of the battlefield below.

This cannot be blamed on their dereliction of duty.

In the minds of ordinary people and even themselves, the scene of millions of soldiers being slaughtered was certainly magnificent and tragic.

But what truly determines the course of a war, ignites the morale of everyone, and leaves behind legendary moments are always the clashes between those who stand at the pinnacle of individual power.

The outcome of a battle between high-end combat forces.

Its morale-boosting effect and strategic significance.

This is far beyond the scope of advancing on local battlefields.

At this moment, the soaring crimson flames were slowly rising, like a stage curtain being drawn back, revealing two figures within.

One of them was barefoot and dangling in the air, her white dress seemingly draped with a flowing, fiery veil, her red hair like flames, and her eyes like clear, pure rubies.

The Nüba is a figure almost everyone in the Federation knows.

Jiang Wei!

And there was another figure standing opposite her from afar.

It sent a chill down the spine of everyone who saw it through the lens.

It largely retains its human form.

The skin was a deathly pale white, like a deep-sea worm that had never seen the sun, so white it was disgusting.

Its facial features still faintly reveal a handsome outline.

However, his eyes had no distinction between the whites of the eyes and the pupils.

Furthermore, behind its ears, on both sides of its neck, and even at its elbows and knees, grow pale bony structures resembling shark fins.

It is so close to human form, yet it has such distinct non-human characteristics.

Its identity was revealed in an instant.

They are far superior to those pseudo-royal families below.

Rather, they were the true royal bloodline and held a prestigious position within the Chu Jiang King's army.

"A royal bloodline! A true royal bloodline!"

Chen Tao's voice became shrill with excitement. He pressed his earpiece tightly and roared at all the channels.

"Lock on! Lock on all! Cameras one and two, push them to their maximum focal length! Capture every detail! Arlene! Keep your wide-angle lens on! Shoot the whole thing! This is firsthand information!"

All the reporters held their breath, their hearts pounding.

Not only the reporters in the command center, but also many of the Dawn Legion warriors fighting fiercely below noticed the strange changes in the sky.

Their offensive faltered, and they looked up at the sky.

……

Haijiao Command Center

Jiang Qi leaned forward slightly from her straight back, her hands instinctively resting on the control panel.

The knuckles turned white from the force applied.

His gaze was fixed on the magnified aerial view on the main screen, and his breathing became much lighter.

She was well aware of the progress and advantages on the main battlefield.

She already knew the combat power data of the pseudo-royal ghost by heart.

The performance of Chu Kuanglan and Wei Banmeng.

Everything went according to plan, and even slightly exceeded it.

But the royal lineage.

There is very little actual combat data about true royal bloodlines.

Each royal species can have drastically different abilities, and they are extremely dangerous.

They are terrifying beings that correspond to the rank of gods.

Although she agreed to let Jiang Wei fight because of her absolute trust in Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei.

But in her subconscious.

If one absolutely had to choose someone to face this unknown and formidable enemy.

She secretly preferred that Fang Qingyu, whose strength was unfathomable and who had repeatedly created miracles, should take the lead, as that seemed to be a safer option.

It would make her feel more at ease.

After all, while Jiang Wei is strong, it's unclear just how strong her actual combat capabilities are.

She had never seen it before.

Therefore, Jiang Qi was still somewhat worried at this moment.

She glanced at Fang Qingyu beside her subconsciously.

Fang Qingyu remained standing there calmly, his dark eyes reflecting the light and shadow on the screen, his face devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

His calmness reassured Jiang Qi somewhat.

"Everything depends on Lady Jiang Wei."

She silently told herself that these were the only two high-end combat cards she could currently play.

If Jiang Wei is unable to quickly secure the victory or even finds herself in a difficult situation, it will force Fang Qingyu to make a move ahead of schedule.

Then she has no trump cards left.

……

High in the sky, the cold wind howled.

Jiang Wei lightly touched the air with her bare feet, and the flowing fire surrounding her sizzled as it burned the pervasive icy aura.

The king-type monster opposite her had its icy blue vortex eyes fixed on Jiang Wei.

A flicker of surprise flashed in those inhuman eyes, which then turned into extreme solemnity and an undisguised greed.

It seems to be trying to say something, perhaps a declaration, perhaps a threat.

But Jiang Wei didn't give it any chance.

Nonsense has never been her style.

Just as the king's lips moved slightly, as if about to utter the first syllable...

hum!
Jiang Wei's figure suddenly blurred.

Only a ring of slowly spreading flames remained in place.

The next instant, she seemed to teleport.

It appeared directly in front of that king-type creature.

The two were very close.

The king's icy blue vortex eye suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead.

"Roar!"

It let out a shriek that was beyond human comprehension. It had no time to make any effective attack or defense moves and could only instinctively and frantically unleash its power!

Snap! Snap!

Centered on it, the air within a radius of tens of meters was instantly frozen.

Countless ice crystals instantly formed, attempting to isolate Jiang Wei from the outside.

Countless sharp ice spikes burst forth from the inside of the ice wall.

They indiscriminately and frantically stab each other.

however--

Jiang Wei's expression remained unchanged.

Faced with the defensive circle that appeared in an instant, she simply raised her right hand.

A delicate fist was enveloped in leaping golden-red flames.

Facing forward, he gently punched out from a distance.

boom--

A golden-red pillar of fire, over tens of meters in diameter and condensed to its fullest extent, burst forth from in front of Jiang Wei's fist.

It easily melted through the layers of ice walls.

The horror in the king's eyes instantly turned into desperate fear!

It could only watch helplessly as the destructive pillar of fire magnified infinitely in its vision before slamming into its chest.

The piercing scream was swallowed by flames as soon as it was uttered.

The next moment.

Its chest caved in instantly, and the bony fin spines on its back burst open.

His entire body transformed into a pale white meteor, propelled by that terrifying pillar of fire, crashing madly towards the black bone island below at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Boom——

A pillar of fire shot through the sky, lingering for a long time, leaving a shockingly scorching trail in the air. The meteor then crashed into the central and rearmost area of ​​the island, where the most numerous spirits were concentrated.

The earth is shaking!

A circular shockwave, carrying raging flames, caused the severed limbs of the demon to spread violently in all directions like a tidal wave.

The loud noise arrived late.

Like a muffled thunderclap rolling across the sky.

When the smoke and steam dissipated slightly, a huge crater nearly 100 meters in diameter was revealed on the island.

At the edge of the giant crater, countless cracks spread out like a spider web.

Centered on the giant crater, within a radius of several hundred meters.

The densely packed pseudo-royal ghosts disappeared.

Silence instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.

Both humans and ghosts were completely stunned by this sudden, overwhelming, and terrifying attack.

On the main battlefield, a Dawn Legion soldier instinctively wiped the warm mud splattered on his face. Staring at the abruptly empty area and the enormous crater ahead, his mouth gaped open, wide enough to fit a fist. After a long pause, he finally let out an unconscious groan: "Holy crap!"

"Did you take a picture?"

Chen Tao's voice was extremely dry and trembling violently. He even forgot to press the call button, as if he were asking someone else, or perhaps asking himself.

Arlene, standing next to him, clung tightly to the priceless high-sensitivity wide-angle recorder, its lens still fixed on the massive crater. Her face was flushed with extreme excitement, and her voice was trembling with emotion, almost as if she were crying: "The whole thing! Team leader! I started filming the moment she disappeared! One punch! Just one punch! My God!!"

She was incoherent, and at the end she was almost screaming.

"This camera isn't just for show, is it?! Huh?! It's not just for show, is it?!"

At this moment, Chen Tao no longer cared about his earlier reprimand. He slapped his thigh, his face contorted with excitement, and roared incoherently into the communicator: "Good! Well done, Arlene! First place! You deserve the first place! This scene is unbeatable! Quick! Backup! Immediately encrypt and back up ten copies! No! Twenty copies!"

The tense atmosphere inside the command center was instantly ignited.

"The target has suffered heavy damage!"

The technical officer's voice was filled with ecstasy and disbelief.

"Oh My God"

A staff officer muttered to himself, his face filled with shock.

Jiang Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Her tense shoulders finally relaxed, and a genuine smile crept onto her lips. Her clenched fists slowly loosened, her palms sweating profusely.

"It's safe."

She murmured to herself, finally feeling a huge weight lifted from her heart.

Jiang Wei's demonstrated abilities far exceeded her most optimistic estimates.

This overwhelming strength is enough to secure victory.

Fang Qingyu, standing to the side, seemed to have anticipated this, his face remaining expressionless, though a faint smile flickered deep in his eyes.

He knew this would be the outcome even before the fight started.

Fang Qingyu doesn't even know how strong Jiang Wei really is right now.

But one thing is certain.

Jiang Wei is even more formidable than he is now.

It's normal to suppress a newly ascended fifth-tier royal species with ease.

……

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the giant pit.

The royal species moved with difficulty.

Its bony armor on its chest was completely shattered, revealing the charred and carbonized flesh underneath, and even the slightly pulsating, cracked internal organs could be vaguely seen.

Most of the fin spines on its back were broken off, one arm was twisted at an odd angle, and its whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

His eyes were filled with terror, pain, and utter disbelief.

"How could that be? How could she be?"

It was breathing heavily, each breath accompanied by bloody froth.

"Complete body!?"

Its brain was in complete chaos.

Their legion was stationed here, and the higher-ups had anticipated the possibility of a federal attack.

They even saw it as an opportunity to lure the enemy deep into their territory and annihilate their elite forces.

So when the attack actually came, it wasn't panicked; instead, it was somewhat excited.

According to the plan, the intervention of this king, who was stationed in charge, was enough to turn the tide of the battle, secure the first victory after the launch of the Great Wall at Sea Project, and win a good start for King Chujiang.

It was confident, with its strength comparable to a fifth-tier Mountain and River level.

It is sufficient to deal with any equally powerful opponent that the Federation might send.

But it never expected that it would be Nüba who came.

Even more unexpectedly, this legendary ancient god, who was said to possess the power of reincarnation and whose condition had always been shrouded in mystery, had actually regained his full power!
The horror of the fully-formed drought demon.

In ancient records of spirits and deities.

That is a forbidden existence capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, and causing gods and demons to flee!
"This must be reported immediately."

Its strong will to survive and sense of duty drove it to struggle.

"Tell King Chujiang that Nüba is here."

As long as this information is transmitted back.

Even if the entire legion here is wiped out, it will still be a great achievement, even if it is innocent and meritorious.

However, just as it stood up...

A red figure landed as lightly as a feather on the edge of the pit, looking down at it from above.

Jiang Wei stood barefoot on the edge of the pit, her red dress trailing on the ground. Her beautiful face remained expressionless, except for her cold red eyes, which seemed to be looking at an insignificant insect.

She slowly raised her slender hand and gently grasped the king's hand from a distance at the bottom of the pit.

"Well!"

The king instantly felt a hand grip its neck, forcefully lifting it from the bottom of the pit and suspending it in mid-air. All its struggles were in vain, and it couldn't even utter a sound.

The shadow of death descended instantly.

The terror in his eyes reached its peak.

But at that moment, Jiang Wei paused slightly.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly as she tilted her head back, as if listening to something.

A hint of doubt flashed in those cold, red eyes, but it quickly turned into calm.

A few seconds later, she looked again at the royal bird, which was choked in mid-air and struggling in vain, and spoke coldly:
"I'll let you live a little longer."

……

Inside the Haijiao-1 command center.

The relaxed atmosphere instantly froze again.

The smiles on the faces of all the staff, including the technical officers and staff who had just been ecstatic, froze.

Their gazes, filled with utter astonishment and bewilderment, were all fixed on Fang Qingyu in the center of the command room.

Because just now.

When the main screen displayed that Jiang Wei was about to end that royal offspring.

It was Fang Qingyu who suddenly spoke:
"Wait a minute."

Then, Jiang Wei on the screen really stopped.

She even briefly asked, "What's wrong?"

Under the stunned gazes of everyone.

Fang Qingyu stared calmly at the screen:

"Let's keep him for now. After our people have cleaned up the entire island, we'll let him call for help."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, followed by Jiang Wei's cool reply: "Okay."

Then, the communication was cut off.

then.

This led to the stunned scene that everyone in the command room was witnessing.

Fang Qingyu felt the focused gazes around him, glanced around, smiled slightly, and shook his head:

"Don't look at me like that."

"The old man entrusted me with this first battle because he wanted me to go a little too far."

"When the time comes, you all retreat, just make sure the war correspondent team can capture footage of the battle."

After saying that, Fang Qingyu said no more and turned to walk out of the command room.

The command room was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Then everyone's eyes subconsciously focused on Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi remained expressionless at that moment.

Seeing the gazes directed at him, he said sternly, "Execute General Fang's orders, notify all units to speed up the clearing operation, and eliminate all remaining enemy troops on the island as quickly as possible! Clear the battlefield for the upcoming hunt."

"Order the logistics and medical teams to prepare for the evacuation! Order all submarines to prepare for an emergency surface descent to assist in the evacuation!"

"Order the war correspondent team to find me the best location! Set up all the equipment! I want every frame of the following footage to be crystal clear."

"Everything for victory!"
