Heroes Return

Faced with the sudden attack, the old man had no time to retract his trident. He simply used his hand to block the cold flames' attack, but the next second he felt an icy chill.

The parts that came into contact with the cold flames suddenly burst into terrifying blue flames from inside their bodies.

"It's not over yet! I must wait until Zero returns!" With that, he released the old man holding the trident and kicked him. The instant Leng Yan delivered that kick, time itself seemed to freeze. Terrifyingly low temperatures, nearing absolute zero, and eerie blue flames erupted beneath Leng Yan's feet once more. This kick sent his opponent flying.

The old man wielding the trident was kicked away and fell directly into the sea. Immediately afterward, a gigantic monster formed from seawater appeared. Unfortunately, the monster instantly turned into an ice sculpture. Leng Yan appeared before the monster, and with a gentle touch, blue flames ignited inside the ice sculpture, shattering it from the inside. Leng Yan then pounced on the old man with the trident, grabbing him with both hands. The two of them transformed into a ball of blue fire, tumbling into the distance, freezing almost everything in their path.

"Don't underestimate mortals!" With that, Leng Yan's fist slammed into the face of the enemy he was entangled with, and then terrifying blue flames once again erupted from within the enemy.

They rolled for an unknown distance until they finally stopped at a considerable distance. Just before them, a series of snow-capped mountains had been forcibly formed along their path.

"I admit I underestimated you, mortal! But before divine power, your strength is utterly insignificant." The old man's voice rang out once more. He stood up, blue flames still erupting from his body. His trident, however, was already thrusting towards Leng Yan. It struck Leng Yan squarely in the stomach, but instead of drawing blood, large amounts of blue flames surged forth, spreading rapidly from the trident to the old man's body.

Seeing this, Leng Yan grabbed the trident and, as he pulled it out, yanked it sharply. The old man's hands, along with the trident, fell to the ground. His hands, which had been burning with blue flames, were instantly turned into ice sculptures.

Without giving the old man any chance to react, Leng Yan thrust the trident into his chest. Blue flames erupted, and the old man was instantly turned into an ice sculpture.

Upon witnessing this scene, Leng Yan's flames finally went out. However, at the same time, his body became broken and mangled, as if a doll had been smashed. He struggled to stand up, but ultimately collapsed.

"Damn it! Is this all I can do? Is this all I can do? This is just too much!" With a look of disbelief, Leng Yan collapsed helplessly.

……

On the other side of the battlefield, Master Bored looked at Bai Yu with some surprise. He had already kicked Bai Yu solidly in the groin, but Bai Yu seemed not to feel it and instead struck Master Bored with a palm.

"Haha, this is kind of interesting? You actually held back. Or rather, you blocked the sensation in your lower body?" Although it was only for a moment, the Bored Master saw through the trick in the blink of an eye.

Just as Bai Yu struck Wu Liao with his palm, Wu Liao sighed helplessly, "This won't work either. You need another way."

Amidst the mundane conversation, Bai Yu heard a light, airy question: "Did you really throw that palm strike?"

Chapter 70

Upon hearing Master Boredom's words, Bai Yu was shocked to find that his palm strike, which he had just unleashed, had remained frozen in place. But the next second, Bai Yu inexplicably heard another light, airy voice.

"Do you really have no feeling down there?"

Accompanying the words was an almost unparalleled, excruciating pain.

"Sigh! You think you can protect the world with this half-baked script? Superheroes really are something anyone can do." Seeing Bai Yu convulsing on the ground, Master Wuneng shook his head helplessly: "I've already told you about my abilities. If you can't even stop me, then there's no point in fighting this war."

No sooner had the words of "boredom" been spoken than a spell was cast towards the "Bored Master".

"Did you really use magic?" Another ethereal voice entered the Miracle Master's ears. The next second, the Miracle Master was shocked to find that the magic he had just used had returned to the state before he cast the spell. At this moment, the Bored Master had already flown to the Miracle Master's side.

"The Hand of Great Compassion!" Just as Master Boredom was about to strike his enemy, a voice suddenly rang out, and a huge golden seal slammed towards Boredom. Master Silent had appeared beside Boredom at some point.

"Senior brother, as members of the Bachelor Temple, we can't just watch you not rest in peace." As Master Wuyu's words fell, Master Wuliang's figure suddenly appeared in mid-air. In an instant, countless golden arms appeared behind Wuliang, and all these arms slapped towards Master Wuliang at an extremely fast speed.

"Did you really attack me?" At the same time, a faint voice suddenly rang out.

"Amitabha Buddha, they are indeed attacking you." Master Wuneng's voice suddenly rang out at this moment: "I saw it with my own eyes!"

At this moment, the eyes of the incompetent master were radiating golden light, and his eyes, which had been tightly closed, opened once again. The endless Buddhist light in his eyes seemed to be able to see through the illusion of all things in the world.

"Senior brother, your Heavenly Eye is quite good. You've seen through illusions and gained insight into your true nature. Not bad, at least you haven't fallen behind in this skill." Master Wuliao's voice rang out at this moment, and almost simultaneously, Master Wuliao himself was also directly blasted away by the attacks of Wuliang and Wuyu.

Undoubtedly, the combined efforts of the three nameless monks had actually disrupted the Pure Land of Boredom. Or rather, it was merely their incompetent eyes that disrupted the Pure Land of Boredom. However, the combined attack of the two monks still didn't cause much damage to Boredom. But without a doubt, the strange abilities of the Master of Boredom were no longer usable at this moment.

Right where Xiao Zhan was on the city wall, Wu Neng suddenly saw the aura of Wu Liao Master. So, after handing over the Buddha's staff, a weapon that was very powerful in a certain sense, to Guang Gun Si and a few other monks to kick in turn, Wu Neng himself followed Wu Neng and Wu Yu towards Wu Liao Master's location.

"Bai Yu, do you still have a way to withstand a kick from Junior Brother Wuliao?" Wu Neng suddenly asked Bai Yu. "Don't worry, I have already restricted Junior Brother Wuliao's power. He can no longer use that kind of cheat-like power."

Upon hearing his words, Bai Yu immediately inserted a needle into an acupoint on his lower body: "Looks like my testicles are going to be in trouble. I wonder if my medical skills can cure them."

Despite saying that, Bai Yu still rushed towards Master Boredom without hesitation.

Master Boredom unleashed his signature "Child-Severing Kick" at Bai Yu. Bai Yu instinctively dodged to the side at lightning speed. However, Master Boredom's hidden energy surged through the air, chasing after Bai Yu.

Almost simultaneously, the Master of Miracles unleashed his magic once more, and a spatial portal instantly appeared in front of Bai Yu. In the blink of an eye, Bai Yu passed through the portal and arrived beside the Master of Boredom. He then struck out with a palm at the Master of Boredom, but almost at the same time, the Master of Boredom also threw a punch at Bai Yu.

As fists and palms clashed, to everyone's astonishment, the one who was blasted backward was none other than Master Boredom. And from Master Boredom's body, a faint, metallic sheen emanated. Of course, this wasn't the end; Silence and Unscrupulous, in the distance, simultaneously attacked Master Incompetent.

When the two of them finally arrived at Master Boredom's side, they vaguely sensed an unusually powerful aura.

"I've told you not to neglect your martial arts, but you just won't listen." With these boring words, the two men didn't even have time to react before the bored monk punched them away: "With your pathetic skills, even without using the Pure Land, you're no match for me! Especially my senior brother."

After knocking away his two other junior brothers, Boredom almost instantly came to Incompetence's side: "All you do all day is practice your Heavenly Eye Technique by watching porn, but you don't practice your original martial arts."

Just as Wu Neng was about to lift his foot, the next second, Wu Liao Da Shi directly stepped on the foot that Wu Neng was about to lift, and grabbed at Wu Neng with his other hand.

"Holy crap! Junior brother, are you serious?!" Master Wuneng exclaimed, grabbing the mirror in his hand. "Help! Junior brother is murdering senior brother!"

At that very moment, the bespectacled man's figure suddenly flew out of the mirror. Then, he was struck squarely by the "kick that could cut off a man's genitals" and fell to the ground.

"You... called me... just to... be a meat shield?" The bespectacled guy, who had been kicked to the ground, looked at Wu Neng with tears in his eyes.

"This humble monk has no choice but to do this. My genitals can still bring blessings to the world!" Master Wuneng said helplessly.

"Have you said enough?" Bored said, preparing to kick Incompetent again. But the next second, the Great Magic of Miracles in the sky was finally ready. Then, in that instant, Bored threw a handful of sand into the sky and slapped it with his palm.

The speechless man who had just rushed forward was hit on the shoulder by a slap and sent flying backward. The Miracle Master in the sky hadn't even had a chance to use his magic on the speechless man before he was hit by several pebbles and sent flying backward.

"Anyone can interrupt a character casting for this long, right?" Bored said calmly, then delivered a side kick, sending the unscrupulous master in the distance clutching his groin and collapsing to the ground. Bored then looked again at the incompetent master, who was now immobilized by his foot.

At that very moment, the bespectacled guy on the ground suddenly sprang up, wielding a sniper rifle of the same model as Thirteen, and fired a shot at the Bored Master at close range.

This shot completely caught Bored Master off guard. Of course, the instant the sniper rifle hit Bored Master, Incompetent Master's overturning kick finally erupted, striking Bored Master in the chin and sending him flying backward.

"Junior brother, now's the time!" Upon hearing his words, the speechless master, who had been hit by sand, flew over again, his demon-subduing pestle piercing straight through the chest of the bored master.

"How did he get up?" the Bored Master and his gang said to Shen Qian speechlessly, "I did hit him, and he didn't look strong at all."

"Rely on patience," Wu Yu said calmly.

"Oh, I see. By the way, remember to cremate all the things I used in my life. I don't want to cause any more trouble." Master Bored said to Speechless, "I meddled in other people's business my whole life, but I never thought I would become an accomplice after I died."

"Amitabha." Upon hearing his words, Master Wuyu simply clasped his hands together and uttered a Buddhist chant. The boredom that had been pierced by the Vajra Pestle vanished into thin air.

"I can't believe you can actually endure it." Wu Neng looked at the bespectacled man with some surprise: "I thought my life was over."

“I’ve endured far greater pain,” the bespectacled man said to the incompetent one. “Looks like the temporary pillar is saved. Now it’s up to you, Master.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of blood gushed from the bespectacled man's mouth, and he collapsed to the ground.

"..." After glancing at the bespectacled man, the Incompetent Master looked at the Unscrupulous and Speechless, and helplessly chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Amitabha."

After being knocked away again, the Master of Miracles finally landed on a tower and sat down.

At that very moment, a large number of falcons appeared in the sky, and the enormous falcons began to attack Solomon's capital. But then, in the distance, a flock of owls with mysterious powers flew out from the other side and met the attack.

"Did the people from the Magic Society finally come?"

"You got really badly beaten, Master of Miracles." An old man with a white beard suddenly appeared beside Master of Miracles: "Can you still fight?"

"Anytime is fine."

……

Time passed unnoticed, and the battle had reached a fever pitch. Faced with the seemingly endless, tireless attacks, the human side was growing increasingly exhausted, especially after the fate of their commander, Leng Yan, became unknown.

Although a new commander was immediately appointed, in this kind of battle, the commander was essentially meaningless. And the war, which had lasted almost twenty-four hours, might not have meant much to the gods and demons, but for humanity, who were all forced into this protracted battle, it was undoubtedly exhausting.

In the distance, the human fleet also began to retreat steadily under the attack of the gods' legion.

Xiao Zhan's comical cannon has been almost completely destroyed. The mecha legion is suffering heavy losses, and in the sky, a huge light curtain opens up the largest battle on the entire battlefield.

In the sky, the battle between Rose and the bearded man in white robes continued unabated. The fight between the two had undoubtedly reached a critical juncture.

……

In the deepest part of the royal city, where the seal is located and the most heavily guarded center, a certain pillar still stands, and the person on the pillar suddenly opens his eyes.

Chapter 71

As another explosion erupted in the sky, Rose's massive amount of data flashed by at an extremely fast pace.

'Divine power analysis complete. Light-resistant alloy in production. Light absorption reactor complete. New evolutionary resistance achieved.'

As the data was completed, Rose charged directly at the enemy before her, her lance thrusting once more at the man before her. Unfortunately, she missed again. The bearded man's wooden staff blocked Rose's swirling energy, and terrifying energy began to erupt in the sky.

"As a creation, to have reached such power in Chengdu has far surpassed the limits of humanity. Tell me your name, girl?"

Hearing the other person's words, Rose showed no response. Her steel wings pierced through any approaching enemies with incredible speed, and the energy gun in her hand spun rapidly once more. As the energy gun spun, the space around it, resembling a drill, began to distort strangely. Along with this distortion, a continuously rotating black area appeared around the knight's lance.

Upon seeing this black area, even the bearded man's expression turned solemn. Almost instantly, the blood-red clouds in the sky were dispelled, replaced by a dazzling light descending from the heavens. Accompanied by music and the fluttering of pure white feathers, a sacred and solemn atmosphere erupted at this moment. And at that very instant, all the light in the sky shone towards Rose.

Faced with the concentrated rays of light, Rose had no chance to dodge.

She simply accelerated wildly towards the man in front of her, and the light shining into the darkness was absorbed by him in a way that distorted space.

'Alarm: Exceeding tolerance limits. Alarm: Exceeding tolerance limits. Alarm: Physical endurance exceeded limits. Alarm: Most systems malfunctioning; attack halted.'

Despite the constant barrage of alarms, Rose did not follow the advice and instead charged towards the bearded man with all her might.

In the sky, all light vanished, replaced by a massive black vortex. From within the vortex, an old man's furious roar echoed from the heavens. Then, before everyone's eyes, a beam of light shot forth from the darkness. Accompanying this beam of light emerged a person, a remarkably beautiful young woman. A spear formed of light pierced directly into her chest.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the girl was shot into the sky by the spear and eventually disappeared into the end of space.

At the same time, light continuously shone from within the black vortex, accompanied by the bearded man's roar, with beams of light capable of causing widespread destruction shooting out from it. However, the dark vortex began to shrink smaller and smaller.

The smaller the dark vortex became, the more urgent the light grew, and the more terrifying the roar became. The enormous dark vortex, which had initially covered the entire sky, gradually shrank and finally disappeared after several hours, during which countless large-scale bursts of light erupted. As for Rose, she had vanished completely from the battlefield by that spear strike.

Deep within the city, in the most heavily guarded area, the dozen or so strongest magical girls among the seventy-two pillars are all stationed there. As the power of the demon god spreads, the darkness here becomes terrifying.

It was at this moment that Xing Tian appeared. And following Xing Tian was none other than Lin Jie. Of course, calling him Lin Jie isn't entirely accurate; to be precise, following behind Xing Tian was Xiao Meier, who had transformed into Lin Jie.

Dozens of meteors crashed down from the sky. As they fell, dozens of warriors in magnificent armor rose to their feet. As for their surroundings, unfortunately, there was no longer any living creature.

However, a large number of demon legions immediately surged towards these warriors.

In an instant, even the deepest part of the city was engulfed in battle. One of the witches immediately sent a signal that the area was under attack to all locations on the battlefield. Almost all the powerful warriors on Solomon's side rushed towards the location, except for Solomon and Fenrir.

Both Solomon and Fenrir encountered very difficult enemies.

Solomon and Fenrir were facing the combined suppression of more than a dozen powerful gods, and for a time, even Fenrir was unable to leave the area. Meanwhile, other powerful beings, having heard the signal, began rushing towards the scene. Within the royal city, a fierce battle between these powerful figures began.

Isabella and her sister Isabella arrived one after the other, followed by Time, Sky King, Loki, Torus, and Tristi.

In fact, on the Hero Association's side, only a handful of powerful heroes remained who could have made it this far. The rest were either still fighting formidable enemies or had already been defeated.

At least a few minutes ago, Captain Justice was overwhelmed by the attack of the Legion of Gods. Just a few minutes ago, even Winter Sun was hit by a Titan's iron fist and was almost knocked down on the spot.

The battle continued unabated, and time ticked by. The combined forces of humans and demons were becoming increasingly disadvantaged, being completely overwhelmed in both quality and quantity by the combined forces of the gods.
