Chapter 390: A Sweep of the Halberd

  As the Baxia beast's upper body was raised high and smashed down, the ground suddenly churned at the junction of its thick front feet and the ground. Amidst the violent roar, Baxia turned into countless khaki air currents and poured into the ground.

  Then the island shook and the ground cracked, as if a high-intensity earthquake had erupted here. The deep and wide cracks spread to a hundred meters away in an instant. With Baxia's landing point as the center, the surrounding land plates of dozens of meters almost collapsed. Anyone who had not escaped from this area in time was directly swallowed up by the land that turned into the abyss in an instant.

  And this was just the prologue before the disaster began. With the long-accumulated sea of ​​mountain energy erupting again deep underground, a more fierce shock came from underfoot, and a deep khaki luster emerged from every crack on the surface of the ground, and then exploded.

  In an instant, the earth dragon turned over, and the deafening roar continued. Countless large pieces of rock splashed and exploded from the surface. Then, under the effect of the passive skill "Piercing Mountains and Breaking Mountains", these rocks flying in the air started a second explosion. It

  was like thousands of stone grenades detonated at the same time. The surging air waves gathered together suddenly turned into a mighty wave of ripples that spread outward in the air. The unfolding air waves seemed slow but were actually fast. After a few breaths, they swept across the entire island battlefield. Wherever they passed, many beings with weak basic attributes were directly blown away. For a time, people flew everywhere, and the impact was very wide.

  This time, the movement was not comparable to the previous fireball. After the air wave swept across the entire battlefield, the chaotic fighting on the entire battlefield was temporarily stagnant. Whether it was the shaking ground under their feet or the continuous roar in their ears, they unconsciously focused all their attention on the back of the battlefield as the starting point of the explosion.

  Looking around, I saw that the Worthington Laboratory in the back was now completely covered by a large area of ​​spreading smoke and dust,

  and a giant gray mushroom cloud several meters high suddenly appeared. Inside the smoke and dust were countless small pieces of stone that were still constantly flying through the void. In this fine sound of breaking through the air like the chirping of thousands of birds, there were also several rapid and shrill screams from time to time.

  Outside the mushroom cloud, ugly surface cracks were growing and spreading outward in a radial manner, but compared with the density of cracks inside the smoke and dust, the distribution of the cracks on the periphery seemed much sparser.

  On the land between these cracks, gloomy-looking contractors were scattered. Although they were in different positions, they all turned their backs to the crowd and stared at the chaotic area in front of them that was covered by heavy smoke and dust.

  These were the group of contractors who had participated in the siege of Xu Yue. When the giant beast of Baxia hit the ground, they either had a backward position or had an extraordinary escape method. In short, they successfully avoided the powerful ground-smashing blow of Baxia at the critical moment.

  Although the damage to the body was avoided, the shock in the heart was not reduced at all. The ground cracked and the mountains collapsed under the blow, and the erosion was a hundred meters, directly trapping most of the members. This level of attack is absolutely rare in the entire second-level, at least no one in the field can do it.

  Even if they all know that this method is unlikely to be used frequently in a short period of time, it can be seen from the tube that even if the skill of summoning the giant beast cannot be used, the target's other abilities must be strong. If the siege continues, the risk of death may be far greater than the possible gains.

  Thinking of this, contractors began to quietly retreat in the crowd. After a while, the number of encirclements, which were already sparsely distributed, gradually dropped to less than 10.

  As for the remaining contractors, some of them were too greedy and did not intend to be easily scared off, while others had special reasons why they could not give up. The

  puppet masters of the Drama Adventure Group were undoubtedly the latter. Before they got the exact news about the mutant Jimmy from Xu Yue, they had no right to retreat, otherwise the leader would be the first to not let them go.

  Looking at the smoke and dust area in front of her that was gradually calming down, Yueqin, who was behind the puppet master to the right, frowned, and at the same time, she spoke loudly to the many hesitant contractors around her to encourage them:

  "Don't be too afraid, the attack just now was just louder and affected a wider range, the lethality is not as terrible as imagined, whether it is the ground crack or the exploded rubble, it is still far from killing us instantly."

  "The reason why those contractors trapped in the smoke and dust have never been able to escape is only because the target is taking advantage of the chaotic environment to divide and strangle them one by one. We are definitely not our match in an open area."

  "And the target was not unscathed in the previous joint bombing, and the mana must have been consumed a lot now, so we are in an advantageous situation now!"

  "Everyone get ready, the strangulation inside is almost over, work together to kill him!"

  ...…

  After Yueqin's loud encouragement, the originally sluggish atmosphere at the scene finally regained some solemnity. As soon as the words fell, a raging hurricane was immediately summoned by a magic-side contractor.

  The wind blew away most of the thick smoke and dust in front of the crowd in an instant, and the tragic scene inside also came into everyone's eyes. As

  far as the eye can see, the land covered with cracks and fallen rocks is devastated. Different land plates are staggered, like a broken old chessboard, on which there is almost no flat and wide place to stand. The

  only chess pieces dotted on this chessboard are the bloody corpses with different death conditions. They are scattered everywhere, or their bodies are directly smashed by large pieces of falling rocks, or their bodies are full of sharp stone fragments, but more of the deaths are bodies split in two by sharp weapons, heads and upper bodies are smashed by heavy weapons, etc., and it is obvious that they are man-made.

  Just a simple glance, there were at least dozens of corpses exposed on the ground, which made people shudder. And this did not include those that were directly swallowed by the cracks in the ground.

  Suddenly, just as everyone was looking at the battlefield, a black shadow suddenly flew out from the smoke and dust that had not yet been dispersed. This stimulated the nerves that had become extremely tense due to the large number of corpses in the field of vision.

  Therefore, before they could confirm the specific identity of the black shadow, the dense long-range attacks that had been ready for a long time were directly thrown by everyone, and rushed towards the black shadow that had not yet landed.   

  "Wait! He's not..."

  Behind the crowd, Yueqin, who was mainly responsible for reconnaissance and auxiliary skills, immediately discovered the abnormality of the black shadow. Although the other party was still breathing, he was extremely weak and obviously not the target they were going to deal with.

  But it was obvious that she was a little late in speaking out to stop it. Before she finished speaking, the boiling and exploding flames had completely enveloped the figure in the air. Even before it landed, the figure turned into a pile of charred and broken scattered pieces of meat.

  His eyes paused slightly on the fallen corpse, and the puppet master's face changed. He suddenly felt extremely bad.

  'No, it's a feint to the east and attack in the west, so the target of attack must be at the weakest point, which is... the back of the queue! '

  Thoughts surged in his mind. After realizing the most likely position for the enemy to launch an attack, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly turned back to look at the back where many fragile contractors such as auxiliary and long-range systems were gathered.

  But just as he turned his sight, he saw the shadow behind him suddenly move strangely, and then a tall knight riding a ferocious beast quietly jumped out of the shadow, and the sticky black evil spirit expanded outward. The knight swung a two-foot-long painted halberd in his hand, and blood surged wherever he passed. Then the dazzling red covered the puppet master's entire vision.

  Behind the team, a ring of blood-colored waves surged, and delicate minced meat and pale bones flew out simultaneously. The rich smell of blood instantly filled the whole place. Under the waves, one by one, the incomplete corpses that had disappeared from the waist up fell down.

  In the middle of the fallen corpse, Xu Yue, riding on the fierce beast Taotie, had a cold look in his eyes. The long halberd in his hand was full of evil spirits, and the red armor around him was dripping with blood. As his mouth and nose opened slightly and he took a long breath, the blood-colored wave in the air that had not yet landed seemed to be inspired by something, and suddenly turned into dozens of flying blood-colored ribbons, which began to automatically merge into the armor one after another.

  A large amount of fresh blood was swallowed by the red prison, making the armor itself more and more scarlet, and the gurgling heat flowed through Xu Yue's body, causing his health and mana that had been damaged by the previous battles to recover at an extremely fast speed.

  At this moment, the contractors who were still on the periphery suddenly discovered that the target of the siege that they had been vigilant against had now quietly moved from the smoke and dust in front of them that had not yet dissipated to the back of their weakest team.

  And within the first moment after he appeared, he used a halberd to directly kill nearly 80% of their auxiliary control contractors, including Yueqin who was the first to notice something wrong.

  The ability of shadow jumping is comparable to the magical skill of the space system in the dark night. It gives Xu Yue absolute mobility that is almost unrestricted. With the combination of the two, he will become the most terrifying assassin in the dark night, and his deterrence has increased several times. It only takes one close opportunity

  , and those fragile contractors can't hold out for more than a few breaths under the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, which covers an area of ​​up to six meters. It can be said that they will collapse at the touch and disappear in an instant.

  A pair of eyes full of astonishment turned back and looked back, only to see that in the focus of the field of vision, the indifferent Scarlet Knight was lingering by more than a dozen flying and circling blood-colored silks. Perhaps he noticed the eyes of the crowd, and the blood in his eyes surged, and then the Fang Tian Hua Ji with murderous aura was swung away by him.

  During the swing, the long halberd that was swinging in the air began to grow with the wind, from the initial three meters, to five meters, seven meters, nine meters...

  Finally, in the eyes of everyone, the Fang Tian Hua Ji suddenly turned into a ten-meter-long and meter-thick dragon-shaped pillar, and it smashed into the air with a whistling wind and a terrifying power that seemed unstoppable.

  The increase in the size of the giant halberd was far more than just a simple volume. Its power was also geometrically doubled. Wherever the dragon-shaped pillar passed, it seemed that even the void was groaning and trembling. The squeezed airflow hissed and roared at the end of the halberd, and the wind it raised was even more terrifying and fierce than the tornado group guided by Storm Girl before.

  Just watching from a distance gave people an extreme sense of oppression that made it difficult to breathe, and the many contractors who were facing the pressure of the giant pillar at this time were even more unbearable.

  "If you can't take it, you will be crippled if you are hit, so... run! '

  The pupils in the eye sockets shrank to the size of a needle tip, but they were still trembling. The giant pillar had not arrived yet, but the raging wind that arrived first had already torn the faces of the contractors into pieces, and at the same time, the courage and confidence of the people to confront it head-on were torn into pieces. The idea of ​​retreating suddenly grew wildly in everyone's mind.

  However, facing Xu Yue's exaggerated attack with nearly 60 points of strength attribute and a coverage area of ​​about 20 meters, there were very few people who could escape safely.

  The next moment, the figures flew in the raging wind, and the blood rain poured down. With just one blow, except for a few people, the contractors who participated in the siege were almost killed or injured. Most of the stronger ones were seriously injured and dying, and their bones and flesh turned into mud, while those with weaker bodies basically fell into the same fate as those fragile assistants, and turned directly into blood rain and flesh, and no bones were left.

  On the spot, after swinging for a week, the Fang Tian Hua Ji returned to its normal size and was taken back by Xu Yue. The power of the halberd in the giant state was terrifying, but because of this, he could only swing it in accordance with the situation. It was impossible to use it under normal circumstances unless he was giantized together with it.

  But at the moment, these opponents who had already suffered heavy casualties were obviously not worth him using this huge trick. As his eyes moved, he took in all the surviving contractors around him.

  Then, dots of purple fluorescence automatically flew out of the body surface. Xu Yue stretched out his hand and waved, and more than a dozen fragments of the magic knife flew out like hidden weapons. At the same time, his drooping legs lightly clamped the abdomen of the mount.

  The Taotie under him immediately understood, and the black fur all over his body rippled and tumbled. It carried Xu Yue and jumped out lightly, and the two of them merged into the shadows and disappeared at the same time.
