I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Shen Tian raised his hand and moved them to a safe place, while the tip of the spear rested steadily in front of the strategist's brow.

"Let go, and get out of here alive."

Shen Tian looked down at him, his tone calm, but the tip of his gun remained firmly in place.

The manipulator's face turned pale as he stared at the blood-dripping spearhead before him, then at the six-armed Dharma image behind Shen Tian.

He stood frozen in front of the stone platform, knowing that he couldn't escape no matter how much he struggled, and finally let go.

The power was quickly sealed, and the prisoner was handed over to the human warriors who followed behind.

Shen Tian's figure had already turned into a blur and moved towards the next high platform.

On the high platform, several dying soldiers were working together to lift a heavy defensive spear, intending to shoot it at the human troops pouring into the passage below.

"boom!"

The giant shield slammed down on the heads of the men, pinning down the entire defensive spear.

The sound of metal deforming was deafening; the spear stand, along with its heavy support, broke off.

Several guards coughed up blood and were thrown off the edge of the platform by the violent shockwave.

The ground warriors below immediately and tacitly caught the passage.

Swords and spears lined both sides, forming an ironclad defensive line that completely blocked any possibility of the enemy regrouping.

Shen Tian did not stay in place to clear out the remaining soldiers one by one.

Shen Tian spread his mental energy into the opened area, probing along the passageways into the various warehouse doors and high platforms.

Several high-ranking enemies who rushed towards the warehouse, attempting to destroy the supplies in their desperate situation, had only taken a few steps when they were struck in the head by an invisible mental hammer, and fell to the ground with screams.

Shen Tian quickly relayed the safe location after the sweep back to the team behind him.

Lin Qingyi and the others rushed to the gate of the storehouse, pressing down with swords and shields, gradually forcing the heavily armored soldiers who had not yet abandoned their weapons to the outer perimeter.

The subsequent human forces followed along the cleared path, continuing their advance deeper into the military fortress.

Shen Tian stopped on a dilapidated tower high up, and the scorching, indestructible blood patterns deep within his divine body began to slowly fade away.

The remaining time of the Undying Body has finally come to an end.

The blood-red markings faded, and the true form and Dharma appearance returned to normal.

The newly broken-through tenth-order life core is still supplying blood and qi, and each cycle is more substantial than before the breakthrough.

The primordial chaos transformed into a solid backing, steadily supporting the six-armed Dharma form behind it.

Shen Tian tightened his grip, and the battle blade came to a steady rest in his palm.

His sanctified body had long since recovered completely, and vigorous vitality still flowed through his flesh and bones.

This battle exhausted all the accumulated battle spirit.

However, the divine threat within this Xiling military fortress has been completely eradicated!

High on the southern side in the distance, Tianheng's massive mechanical body crashed down.

The intact left arm's mechanical heavy blade gleamed with a cold light, pointing towards the outer escape route.

The Red Falcon gunboat hovered on the other side of the battlefield. Its broad chest armor clung tightly to the cracked armor, and the dark muzzles of its main guns remained fixed on any possible escape route, creating a suffocating sense of oppression.

Two gunboats were positioned on either side of the fortress, so that the defenders could see the cannons aimed at the passage no matter which way they looked.

Other small and medium-sized ships were landing in an orderly manner to receive the wounded and reserves. They separated the scattered evacuees and those who had laid down their weapons.

As the light of the last array tower went out completely, the crisp sound of weapons falling one after another onto the stone ground finally rang out from within the tall protective wall.

"Clang, clang..."

Several officers, covered in dust, emerged from the dilapidated buildings and tremblingly pushed the tokens representing their command to the human warriors.

In the vast inner courtyard, although sporadic sounds of gunfire could still be heard occasionally, there were no longer any well-organized, complete battle lines.

No general was able to reorganize the scattered and defeated soldiers.

Just then, a piercing explosion suddenly came from the side courtyard!

Two seventh-tier armored soldiers, their eyes bloodshot, led a dozen or so remaining soldiers and rushed towards the rear lane without regard for their own safety.

They pushed several heavy supply wagons loaded with military provisions with all their might, trying to break through the last remaining exit before the human defenses were completely closed.

Upon receiving the report from the front lines, Lin Qingyi immediately reversed the blade and shot out like an arrow.

The spear of the enemy soldier at the forefront was cleaved in two by the dark golden blade.

Zhao Gang's heavy axe followed closely behind, descending from the sky. The violent force slammed into the front of the cart, causing large sections of the thick stone ground to tumble up.

The heavy supply wagon jolted violently, its wheels getting stuck in the gravel, causing it to tilt and block the exit, completely obstructing the enemy pushing the wagons to escape.

Driven to the brink, the enemy roared and raised his weapon in an attempt to retaliate.

"call out!"

A streak of blue light, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, shot from the other side of the courtyard wall.

The sharp sound of air being cut forced the seventh-level enemy general to turn around and swing his sword to block.

Lin Qingyi had already taken the opportunity to press closer.

The dazzling dark gold blade light and the dense gunfire of the arriving support team fell simultaneously!

The hastily gathered protective power was instantly shattered into pieces.

The final resistance ended.

A few surviving enemy soldiers threw down their weapons in despair and slumped against the blood-stained wall.

The heavy wagons loaded with precious military supplies remained intact in their original location.

Lin Qingyi stopped, glanced coldly at the last few scattered figures fleeing towards the outer path, and did not continue the pursuit.

Tianheng was guarding that direction; his massive machine blocked the exit, and all the figures escaping were under his surveillance.

She turned back to the warehouse gate and quickly handed over the counted number of supply wagons and the location of the goods to the arriving logistics warriors.

Then, she picked up her blood-stained sword again and looked at the courtyard, which was not yet completely cleaned.

Lu Changfeng strode into the reservoir area.

Lu Changfeng first looked towards the exit to confirm that someone was guarding it, and then checked the reports on the tower, armory, and rear retreat route.

Several key positions were guarded by forward troops, with their weapons facing outwards, leaving no room for the remaining soldiers to regroup.

The surrendered prisoners were swiftly and decisively silenced and driven aside.

The mountain of supplies was safely stored in the warehouse. The tasks of searching for remaining enemy forces and guarding the defensive line were being carried out rapidly and in an orderly manner.

Lin Qingyi strode over, carrying the broken black battle flag.

Thick blood continued to drip from the sword in her hand, but her eyes shone brightly in the firelight.

"The front is through!" Her voice was filled with barely concealed excitement. "Both main roads inside have been taken."

Lu Changfeng nodded heavily, and the long sword in his hand, soaked with blood, was finally slowly sheathed.

"We've won this battle!"

His deep voice, filled with surging energy, carried far along the crisscrossing passages.

The battlefield, which had been silent for a moment, seemed to suddenly awaken.

A young martial artist, leaning against a broken wall and panting heavily, suddenly raised his head.

The wounded, who had just retreated from the front lines and whose bodies were half-covered in blood, all turned their gazes toward the center of the reservoir area.

When they left the First City to set out on their campaign, their swords were aimed at the Xiling Military Fortress, which was considered a forbidden zone.

And now, they are truly standing in the heart of this fortress!

The medical team is still working tirelessly to catch the continuous stream of injured people leaving the hospital.

The troops at the front did not become complacent and disperse despite their victory.

Lin Qingyi tossed the tattered black banner onto the pile of rubble and looked back at the bloody path the group had charged through.

The troops were still gathering the wounded, but the fortress had finally fallen. She laughed heartily.

Behind them, the massive stone door of the warehouse suddenly trembled.

The seal was lifted by the logistics warriors, and Lu Changfeng stepped forward, using one hand to slowly push open the heavy stone door.

The scene inside the door instantly came into view.

Rows of huge sealed crates were neatly arranged along the towering walls.

On the other side of the open ground, there were piles of refined metals that had not yet been loaded onto trucks.
