Outside the sea of ​​blood, the forward positions attached to the Seventh Defense Zone.

The soldiers are relying on bunkers and trenches to desperately resist the spreading sea of ​​blood and the relentless onslaught of disaster.

Even when the cannon barrels glowed red-hot, they dared not slacken their efforts in the slightest.

Faced with these fearless and cannibalistic opponents, the consequences would be unimaginable if the warning line were crossed!

Nobody wants to engage in close combat with this horde of madmen.

"Stop the war!!!"

Amidst the roar of cannons, a roar suddenly pierced through all the noise, exploding in everyone's ears, and the entire sea of ​​blood boiled for a moment.

What was that sound?

A young soldier lying prone at his firing position looked up, his face blank as he gazed at his comrade beside him.

"Xiao Li, your ear is bleeding!"

"What did you say?"

The soldier called Little Li seemed to hear nothing.

He followed his comrade's finger and touched his ear, only to find his hand covered in a sticky liquid.

"Buzz—"

A ringing sound came belatedly.

Xiao Li clutched his head in pain, clenching his teeth and forcing himself to remain silent.

This scene seems to be commonplace, and most of those affected are low-level Awakened individuals with enhanced senses, such as those with the "Listening" ability.

The calamity's reaction was far more severe than that of the soldiers.

They were frozen in place, as if an invisible hand had choked them by the throat.

Immediately afterwards, they all let out sharp explosions, turned around and ran, rushing to dive into the sea of ​​blood.

"It's gone...the calamity has receded!"

It's unclear who shouted first, but the sound quickly turned into a surging wave of noise.

"It's refunded! It's really refunded!"

"We survived!"

They have been fighting continuously for a long time.

Watching comrades fall or even be eaten alive, and having to watch helplessly, is a huge test of one's mental fortitude.

The only reason I've been able to hold on for so long is because of my willpower.

Now that the calamity has receded, no one has had time to ponder the reasons behind it.

The soldiers climbed to the top of the bunker, their faces filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a catastrophe as they gazed at the rapidly receding crimson tide.

Even during a truce, these damned calamities could never have been so completely eradicated!

Could it be that their resistance has finally paid off?

However, this joy did not last long.

"drop--"

The mobile loudspeaker at the rear was activated, transmitting the command center's broadcast communications:

"Attention all units! This is the Seventh Defense Zone Command! All forward units, evacuate immediately and in an orderly manner!"

"Repeat, evacuate immediately!"

Such an urgent evacuation order makes it seem as if something major is about to happen!

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned solemn.

But no one asked any questions; they simply followed instructions and began to retreat in an orderly manner.

On the battlefield, obeying orders is their duty.

The atmosphere became tense again.

Because the requirement was to evacuate as quickly as possible, everything was kept simple, and even artillery and unused ammunition were left behind.

"boom!"

Not long after, another loud noise came from the depths of the sea of ​​blood.

The soldiers who had already boarded the troop carriers all looked back.

In the mist, a headless giant, towering over the sky, appeared and disappeared.

Sequence 20, [Xingtian]!

Even before it fully revealed itself, the invisible pressure had already swept across the entire defensive line.

Everyone present instinctively held their breath and dared not utter a sound.

The loud noise just now was merely the sound of its footsteps!

It stood atop the sea of ​​blood, its gaping maw spewing forth mist.

It seemed that with just one step, that massive body could crush the defensive line they had just been holding.

However, it did not act rashly, but gripped its giant axe and shield tightly.

The scarlet eyes on his chest were fixed on the tiny figure in the air.

Two invisible pressures clashed against each other, and even the space itself seemed to crack under the strain.

The standoff between the eight ranks has begun!

A sense of doubt arose in everyone's heart:

So suddenly?

Why?

No one answered their questions.

All they knew was that the world was about to change!

……

The core of the Blood Sea.

Shura forcibly suppressed his almost insane rage and stabilized the sword embryo of the [Shura Sword].

For the final "sword-making" step, he and Xuehai had already set up a channel to guide the unification of the three forces.

Once the malevolent energy within the sword has accumulated, the baptism can begin immediately, resulting in a qualitative transformation.

But to everyone's surprise, they ended up doing all the work for the other party!

The momentum used by "Cheng Jian" was stolen by "Zhi Ge" in one fell swoop, accounting for 25%!

Even now, leaks continue to occur.

Shura immediately realized that the other party had fulfilled a certain prerequisite, fully unleashing his abilities and even being able to influence his "momentum".

Whether it's to forge the sword or to weaken the opponent, he has to take action personally!

When the sword is "forged," those humans will surely pay the price!

"Blood Sea, hold your fire for now. Have Jade Face and Xing Tian keep an eye on those humans. I'll handle this myself!"

"yes!"

……

Meanwhile, Xiao Shuang was immersed in the newfound "momentum".

His consciousness felt light and airy, as if it had been carried to the high heavens.

The area is shrouded in a grayish-white mist, which blends in with the "heavenly atmosphere" and is difficult to discern without careful observation.

But Xiao Shuang didn't consider that much.

He just needed to inhale deeply, accumulating enough before the Asura arrived.

The so-called "momentum," though ethereal and similar to what people often call "fortune," does indeed exist.

This thing can also be understood as a material for a kind of rudimentary law.

Aside from enhancements, the most outstanding skill of the [Stop the War] class is the rule-based skill [Stop My War Spear], which is heavily relied upon.

Originally, they could only get to know each other later on, but now that they unexpectedly had the opportunity to accumulate experience in advance, Xiao Shuang naturally wanted to seize it.

Anyway, he can advance at any time now, so he can take as much as he can.

He also has to thank Shura for helping him gather this "power"!

"Burp, that feels good!"

Xiao Shuang felt a faint sense of fullness in her mind, but she could still save up a little.

Before he could continue, the mist below suddenly churned violently.

A dark red aura of malevolence shot into the sky, tearing through layers of mist and heading straight for him!

Almost instantly, Xiao Shuang reacted and dodged at an incredible angle, even smugly touching her hair.

"Stop the fighting!"

"Hey, why are you yelling so loudly!"

Looking at the ferocious-looking figure opposite him, Xiao Shuang's tone was surprisingly relaxed, and he said with righteous indignation:

"What's wrong with your dad taking a few of your things?"

Upon hearing this, Shura's eyes immediately turned bloodshot.

Well, you took his stuff and you still dare to be so arrogant!

He swung his hand with a heavy chop, and the murderous aura transformed into a scarlet slash that tore through the air!

Xiao Shuang felt herself being locked onto by a strong killing intent.

Dodging as before might not be effective.

Like other [Slaughter] calamities, Asura has no soul; what comes here is merely a projection of consciousness formed from malevolent energy.

However, it seems that with the blessing of the Blood Sea, even the projection can exert combat power no different from the main body.

Furthermore, the added "momentum" can further damage his mental and physical body.

However, Xiao Shuang remained calm at all, instead crossing her arms and standing still.

In an instant, the slash struck him hard!

"laugh!"

Suddenly, a colorful light shone around Xiao Shuang, and the surrounding "heavenly power" swarmed in, actively helping him to neutralize the attack.

"I have support, you don't, hehe."

Shura's gaze darkened as he stared intently at the scene, the red light in his eyes growing even stronger.

He ignored Xiao Shuang's mocking boasting, and his muscular body instantly swelled up.

In just a moment, it transformed into a three-headed, six-armed crimson giant, revealing its ferocious nature!

At this moment, Xiao Shuang stood in front of Shura, looking only as small as a melon seed, as if he would be crushed if Shura reached out his hand.

"die!"

Shura roared and all six of his hands slammed down on Xiao Shuang!

The killing intent struck as if it were a tangible force, causing the surrounding mist to recede.

However, Xiao Shuang shook her head and sighed softly:

"Sigh, can't take a joke? Going all in right now?"

"But don't forget, I'm your 'countermeasure card'!"

The moment the words left his mouth, [Stop My Spears] were fully deployed!

The murderous aura surrounding Shura suddenly froze, and even his eyes became clear.

Seeing this, Xiao Shuang smiled crookedly and said leisurely:

"See, isn't that good now?"
