Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 354 A Desperate Struggle (Bonus Chapter 410 for the Alliance Leader)

Meanwhile, on their own rear, a squad of soldiers disembarked, armed with long spears, and charged forward under Havel's command, finishing off the ability users whose life cores had only been destroyed by one or two blows.

Yes, at this moment, despite how fiercely Zhao Xuanxuan and her three companions were fighting in front, none of the superhumans on the other side were actually dead yet.

Their mission was to destroy the enemy's formation, break through their defenses, and create an opportunity for the soldiers behind them to reap the rewards.

"Boss Zhao!"

After finally killing a superhuman, someone immediately brought Zhao Xuanxuan a universal gold card, because she was really going to die from exhaustion and blood loss.

With the Universal Gold Card at this moment, Benjamin, Santiago, and Grant were able to unleash their full potential and attack with all their might. Their strength was now quite formidable, but no matter what, on such a battlefield, they could only perform at about 80% of their potential. It wasn't that they weren't dedicated enough, but rather that they couldn't bring themselves to risk their lives!

Especially since they are all wearing light armor, we can't expect too much.

A heavily armored half-pigman charged forward wielding a heavy shield. Benjamin slashed with all his might, but he could only push the man back a few steps; he couldn't break through the shield at all.

Fortunately, Zhao Xuanxuan had recovered by this time. With a roar, she moved like a meteor, smashing her iron hammer. The heavy shield and the half-pig man flew away. The next second, a figure flashed, and another heavy sword slashed down, cleaving him in two. It was Santiago.

They were very good at cooperating with Zhao Xuanxuan to steal kills, and this cooperation was very effective.

If the opposing team puts together a slight offensive, Zhao Xuanxuan can easily break through with a few blows, while Benjamin, Santiago, and Grant can quickly coordinate to kill or severely injure them.

They advanced with unstoppable momentum until they broke through the enemy's defenses!

Until there was no one left to fight.

But at that moment, a mournful howl was heard. The centaur count, who had been riddled with arrows and pierced by seven or eight thick crossbow bolts, jumped up covered in blood. His eyes no longer held anger, sorrow, or hope, but only shattered longing and bloodthirsty madness.

He advanced, but not through the conventional means, but through a method strictly forbidden by the Ice Duke—he devoured the CPU and GPU of his companions, so while he became more powerful, he also lost his mind!
"Defense!"

Zhao Xuanxuan only had time to shout before she was kicked to the ground, completely powerless to fight back. Then came Benjamin, Santiago, and Grant, who had no chance to dodge.

Fortunately, the centaur count's goal at this moment was simple: he went straight for the universal gold cards scattered everywhere—it was instinctive.

Just as he absorbed fifteen universal gold cards in one go, a barrage of ice arrows shot down, instantly freezing him into a block of ice. It was Ah Dai who had made his move.

"Kill him!"

Completely terrified and frightened, Havel shouted, and an electric truck crashed into the centaur, knocking it into the river. The icy centaur was swept away by the surging water.

Still shaken, everyone hurriedly used their all-purpose gold cards to save people. Fortunately, no one died in this incident, and even the most serious injuries could be healed.

"Put away the all-purpose gold card!"

At this moment, Zhao Xuanxuan got up and immediately disposed of the universal gold card by selling half and exchanging the other half for pass tokens, all of which were pre-arranged by Li Wei.

The earned gold coins and level-clearing tokens will be automatically placed into the territory warehouse.

At this moment, she ordered people to be on guard against the centaur count's return, while simultaneously summoning her warhorse again, leading Benjamin, Santiago, Grant, and others across the bridge to provide support.

Because the battlefield in the south also seems to have entered a critical stage.

The Nyonian's warhorse had already been blown to the head by an arrow and died on the spot. However, this guy seemed to be a powerful warrior. At this moment, he was holding an enchanted shield in one hand and a spear in the other, fighting with Li Wei.

As for Li Wei's mount, it was also killed by this nun with a single spear thrust.

Li Wei's enchanted armor was dull and lifeless, and his face was covered in sweat and blood. He was injured and was panting heavily, as if he had been facing a violent storm of attacks.

Li Yue stood guard on the sidelines, using her powerful bow as a deterrent, but it didn't have much effect.

This time, we've run into a tough opponent!

Yes, before, he thought he had it all figured out and that the advantage was mine.

In the end, he was still too young. Who could have imagined that this cross-border nun would also be so determined to die, abandoning all distractions, and becoming like Zhao Zilong from another world?
At that moment, Li Wei, relying on his +6 perception, saw the nun riding towards him with a spear. So he also took up his heavy sword and increased the speed of his warhorse, intending to complete an offensive and defensive battle in the instant the two horses collided. He was quite confident in this.

Unexpectedly, the spear in the nun's hand formed a vast, torrent-like resonance illusion during the charge, or perhaps a sharp aura, instantly carrying the spear's piercing force, shattering his +6 perception, as if he had encountered a force that restrained him.

In that split second, the nun's spear thrust straight at him. Li Wei swiftly dodged, narrowly escaping death, but his warhorse did not survive and was killed instantly!
Almost simultaneously, Li Yue also fired six arrows in quick succession. The first five arrows were blocked by the nun with her spear, but the sixth arrow could not be blocked and killed her warhorse!
After landing, Li Wei, wielding an enchanted greatsword and aided by Li Yue's bow and arrow, fought the nun for over twenty rounds. However, he was completely overwhelmed and had no chance to fight back. Li Yue fired thirty-five arrows from the side, which was almost equivalent to the two of them working together to avoid being killed!

This nun wielded a spear in one hand and a shield in the other with incredible skill. As she wielded the spear, a sharp aura, like an invisible sword, would always strike her head. Although it didn't cause any major problems, it would disrupt and interfere with Li Wei's +6 perception, which was quite troublesome.

Moreover, he could parry with his shield, although not as magically as the rough-looking man, but this made him fearless against Li Yue's sharpshooting.

Suddenly, the Negro, who had been determined to die, became calm and composed, his eyes filled with cold mockery. He didn't care at all that Zhao Xuanxuan and her group had wiped out the Centaur Count's men.

It's like Li Wei and Li Yue are a pair of little rascals. Yes, something must have gone wrong. Although his scout companion is not as strong as him, he can definitely beat these two in front of him. He actually lost his will to live because of these two trash, and thus destroyed an elite team of superhumans.

How absurd!
This scene made Zhao Xuanxuan and the others feel uneasy. Could it be that even if Li Wei and Li Yue joined forces, they were no match for this person?
"Xuanxuan, don't be afraid, charge forward with all your might!"

At this moment, Li Yue suddenly shouted sharply.

"Li Wei, don't be complacent. He's a second-tier Dawn Knight and is about to advance to the third tier. Even if we join forces, we might not be able to defeat him. In this battle, we need to make sacrifices!"

Li Wei was jolted awake by what Li Yue said.

But at this moment, the nun suddenly shouted and launched an attack on Zhao Xuanxuan!
He runs extremely fast, almost as fast as Li Wei, and he is tall, standing at two meters tall, with long legs that give him a huge advantage.

"Kill!" At the same time, Zhao Xuanxuan didn't hesitate at all. She put on her tiger-head broadsword and charged forward on her horse.

Li Wei and Li Yue were too late to intercept them, as they were both exhausted. However, there were other options. Li Yue fired three arrows in quick succession, and Li Wei quickly followed up with an arrow. With all four arrows fired, they finally managed to stop the nun's charge.

At the same time, Ah-Dai also swooped down from mid-air, unleashing a barrage of dozens of ice spike arrows. Previously, Ah-Dai had not dared to approach or attack this nun, as it seemed that getting within a hundred meters of her was extremely dangerous.

Only at this moment, when the Ninja's target was Zhao Xuanxuan, and with Li Yue and Li Wei restraining it, did it seize the opportunity to unleash a barrage of attacks.

In an instant, the nun was frozen for a second!
This one second is crucial.

Zhao Xuanxuan, wielding a large sword, spurred her horse and charged forward at breakneck speed. With a single slash, she shattered the nun's ice sculpture, but failed to cut through the nun's body. Three magical halos suddenly appeared, granting her immunity to the attack.

Almost simultaneously, the nun's spear moved like lightning, piercing the horse's belly and then through Zhao Xuanxuan's left leg. With a sudden flick, he sent both the horse and the rider flying more than ten meters away. The next second, the nun threw the spear, stabbing Benjamin, who was charging from behind Zhao Xuanxuan, off his horse!
Instant kill!

But the next second, Grant suddenly thrust his spear from another direction, charging forward on horseback.

"Oh!"

The Negro remained calm and unhurried. He suddenly blocked with his shield and, with a burst of strength, deflected Grant and his horse, sending him flying. The immense force of the deflection shattered Grant's bones and splattered his brains.

Just then, an enchanted spear arrived with a sonic boom, striking the nun in the back, but was immediately neutralized by a magical aura.

It was Li Wei who threw it at that moment.

But this person's armor is really enchanted. This is the sixth time in a row that he has dodged Li Wei and Li Yue's deadly moves!
However, Li Wei and his group had a large number of people at this moment.

A series of sonic booms rang out as three of their own electric trucks drove over, and six giant crossbows fired in two volleys. The man dodged four crossbow bolts in succession, but still couldn't avoid the remaining two, which hit him directly. However, the two bolts were still neutralized by two dazzling magical halos!
At the same time, there were also Li Yue's rapid-fire shots and Li Wei's rapid-fire shots!

They were still blocked by the Nani with their shields or neutralized by the magical aura on their armor!

However, the magical aura on his armor finally dimmed this time, and the opportunity had arrived.

"Ahhh!"

At that moment, Javier and Santiago, each wielding a steel spear, charged forward on horseback, their eyes bloodshot!
Perhaps before, they were thinking about saving their lives as much as possible, but when they realized how terrifying that Negro was, that even Li Wei and Li Yue working together, and even with so many of them attacking in succession, they were unable to kill him, they finally understood what Li Yue meant by sacrifice!

Want to enjoy a smooth life without dying?

Do you expect to win a great victory without paying a bloody price?
Something has to be done!
Even if it means dying in battle, we must leave something behind for our territory, no, for our family, our friends, and for the future!
"Ahhh!"

The man was also desperate at this moment. He turned around and threw his shield in a whirlwind, slicing off Havel's spear, his horse, and Havel's own head.

However, Santiago, charging from another direction, successfully pierced the Negro's armor with his steel spear, embedding it in his left chest.

But this was still not enough to seriously injure the man. He grabbed the spear with one hand, pulled Santiago off his horse, and with a backhand thrust, pierced Santiago's head.

Almost simultaneously, the sound of hooves rang out. Li Yue seized the opportunity, quickly summoned her warhorse, and charged forward. With a swipe of her longsword, the light of her destiny resonated. The nun blocked with her backhand, and an arm was instantly severed. However, she was able to kick the galloping warhorse away.

Li Yue nimbly dodged down and slashed repeatedly with her long sword, but the nun, wielding a gun in one hand, was able to fight Li Yue to a standstill and even had a slight advantage!

The main reason was that when he swung his spear, there was always a sharp aura that could dissipate Li Yue's senses, which put Li Yue at a great disadvantage.

Fortunately, Li Wei joined in at this moment, wielding a heavy sword. The two worked together, one facing the enemy head-on and enduring the effects of the sensory interference, while the other charged forward rapidly, launching a relentless attack. They took turns in this manner, which was how they managed to suppress him.

But this also meant that the enchantment aura in the opponent's armor was completely exhausted.

Otherwise, the opponent only needs to endure a few fatal attacks from Li Wei to severely injure Li Yue or Li Wei in the blink of an eye.

But now, he can no longer be so willful.

"Hahaha! So you are all so weak. But how could you, so weak, have killed my companion? Wrong, wrong! In a moment of weakness, I, Cao Nima, have died at the hands of you ants..."

"puff!"

Li Wei finally seized the opportunity and stabbed him in the back with a sword, while Li Yue took the opportunity to cut off his last arm, and the next second she cut off his head with a knife.

I'm terrified he'll come back to life!
This guy is even more powerful than a special BOSS; they almost suffered a major setback!

At this moment, as the nun's body turned to ashes and vanished, Li Wei and Li Yue looked at each other, both of them seeing lingering fear in their hearts.

They underestimated the world.

However, they were pleasantly surprised to find that this nun had dropped three level-five universal gold cards and two purple cards in one go!
It's Li Wei's "Wolf's Thousand Miles of Slaughter" title that's taken effect.

Of course, it's also possible that this nun is too powerful and has an extraordinary identity.

At the same time, a series of shocking messages appeared!
[Nationwide Announcement!]

[With the support of his advisors, Pioneer Li Wei, number 11, led his free soldiers to successfully kill the barbarian centurion, a second-tier Dawn Knight, and annihilate a full squadron of ability users, despite suffering heavy losses.]
