Chapter 93 Hehehe!

Wang Jixuan had already rushed in, while Dongfang Zhenghong in the command vehicle was still a bit dazed.

What did Black Storm just say?

“He went to plug the breach?”

“Yes, Commander,” the technician whispered, “Blackstorm said he was going to plug the breach and gave us a series of instructions.”

Dongfang Zhenghong silently stared at the projection screen in front of him.

He was thinking, what if the Commander-in-Chief knew that Black Storm had inexplicably become the suicide squad within the elite force in his command system…

Dongfang Zhenghong wanted to ask this technical talent to come back and say some correct but meaningless words, such as, for the sake of the big picture and the future of all mankind, please do not take risks lightly, and so on.

But his lips trembled and his eyelids twitched violently.

On the cross-sectional map of the city below the fortress, the gap at the center of the forty-ninth floor, which is shaped like an hourglass and has the densest concentration of red dots, has suddenly become empty!

The red dots have been cleared!

What happened?

“Commander! A violent explosion has been detected at the breach!”

“The horde of Blade Beasts has been cut off!”

The technician’s shouts invigorated Dongfang Zhenghong. He stared at the screen, watching the red dots jump and disappear one by one.

Zhou Zhengde, who was standing to the side, had been lifted up by two soldiers and placed in a chair, where he remained unconscious.

Just three minutes later.

“The horde of bladed beasts on the forty-ninth floor has begun to surge back!”

“The Black Storm is about to be attacked from both sides!”

“No new Blade Beasts have entered the fortress for 190 seconds, sir!”

Dongfang Zhenghong narrowed his eyes.

As a commander, considering the overall situation of the fortress, the fall plan would have been the safest operational option. But now the situation has changed; the strategic significance of this Black Storm is too great, and he has indeed succeeded in temporarily plugging the breach.

The Black Storm not only helped the battle, but also profoundly influenced the overall battle plan.

‘These headstrong young people have some nerve.’

“Immediately organize a suicide squad!”

Dongfang Zhenghong seemed to be roaring:

“Full support for the 49th floor! No matter what! Regardless of casualties! Send firepower over there! Report to the frontline command! Our unit is initiating a counterattack against the Blade Beast horde that has entered the fortress!”

“yes!”

“Commander! The marked general-level target is accelerating upwards!”

Dongfang Zhenghong’s surging passion came to an abrupt end.

This not-yet-fully-mature General-level Blade Beast is the fortress’s biggest threat. It’s a mental attack type, and even our own suicide squad will need time to get down. Right now, the only ones who can fight this General-level Blade Beast are A-level or B-level psionicists.

“Call the House of Psychics immediately…”

“Commander! The Black Storm has surged forward!”

On the map, a large section of the dense red dots at the bottom was suddenly cleared out!

“Damn it!” Dongfang Zhenghong cursed, “Is he crazy! Wasn’t he supposed to stay put? Why did he rush down there?!”

“Should we still connect to the Psionic House?”

“It’s no use connecting to anyone now! Is he crazy? Does he think he can take on a psychic-class general-level blade beast with the assistance of a horde of blade beasts all by himself? Does he have any discipline at all?!”

Ling Tong’s voice rang out from the loudspeaker outside the control panel: “He’s not crazy, Commander, he’s rational.”

“You call this rationality?”

“Yes, I believe him,” Ling Tong said softly. “Shen Hai is already rushing back at full speed.”

Dongfang Zhenghong remained silent.

He, who had never believed in any gods, slumped back into his chair, staring at the newly appeared green dot marked by the bio-radar that represented Wang Jixuan.

I wanted to pray, but then I thought better of it; humans don’t crave divine protection.

He could only wait for the outcome.

…

kill!

A thin layer of blood appeared in Wang Jixuan’s eyes.

A frenzied urge to kill surged through his mind like a tidal wave; had he not used some secret medical techniques beforehand, he probably wouldn’t be able to think straight now.

The power of the souls of the dead he absorbed this time has reached the limit he can currently withstand.

These basic blade beasts and larval blade beasts are quite easy to kill, with almost no one able to withstand their spear sweeps, and they can occasionally unleash the Great Evolution Heart Sword to wipe out the entire field.

But there are simply too many of them.

They can’t be killed off completely; they keep coming back in an endless stream.

Wang Jixuan kept thinking about more efficient and mentally-saving methods for slaying demons.

If we use the psychic system, Master Wang’s current abilities, enhanced by his demonic powers and soul absorption, should be equivalent to B-level mental strength and D-level physical strength.

The cultivation level, total amount of magical power, control over spiritual energy, and magical artifacts of this body all severely restrict his combat methods.

The Great Evolution Heart Sword is indeed the most suitable spell at present.

It takes a lot of mental energy to maintain.

Wang Jixuan’s spear moved like the wind, dashing up and down the passage while maintaining a buffer zone of more than twenty meters behind him.

He had anticipated the swarm of insects approaching from above.

The talismans that kept flying out during the battle became his most effective means of conserving mana to kill enemies.

He didn’t care how long he had been fighting or how much longer he had to hold on.

In order to maintain his combat power, he has begun to allow the desire to kill to erode his mind to a certain extent, thereby gaining a stronger spiritual consciousness and spiritual power.

The silver needles that had pierced his major acupoints penetrated another half centimeter.

The deeper the silver needle goes, the stronger the potential of the Dao body is stimulated, and the greater the subsequent cost will be.

【Wan Jie: The general-level target is accelerating towards you. It is recommended to use the terrain to retreat.】

Wang Jixuan narrowed his eyes.

This passage was drilled out by the ‘burrowing worm’. On both sides are the fortress’s protective layer and the bottom minefield. Master Wang had seen the burrowing worm before. It was lying there as if it were dead, with some obvious blast wounds on its body.

Simply put, this passage has the same diameter at both ends, so whether he blocks one end at the top or the other end underground, the effect is about the same.

This creates a narrow buffer zone of one or two hundred meters. As long as you can stand firm against the onslaught of the blade beasts, you can hold off ten thousand men!

A sinister smile gradually appeared on Wang Jixuan’s lips. His eyes widened to their maximum size, and a wisp of bloodlust appeared in the black smoke at the corner of his eyes.

General-level officer… Leader…

Then let’s capture the leader first!

Hahahaha!

Wang Jixuan laughed wildly, his body rushing downwards at high speed. He gripped the spear with both hands and poured his magic power into it, becoming one with the spear. A phantom of a blue dragon enveloped him, sweeping away the immature blade beasts in front of him!

Limbs were flying everywhere!

Green blood splattered everywhere!

There are hardly any mature Blade Beasts left in the horde below! These immature Blade Beasts can be barely penetrated by large-caliber rifles!

He gradually ignored the text messages that Sister Wan kept sending him;

Wang Jixuan ignored the shouts from the command post.

All he wants to do now is kill, he only wants to kill!

They must kill them all!

The terrain ahead suddenly expanded outwards, changing from a diameter of a few meters to a diameter of tens of meters!

He has already broken out of the bottom minefield!

Wang Jixuan’s spear pierced the rock layer, and his body spun around to a stop.

He was merely consumed by murderous intent; it wasn’t that he couldn’t control his mind.

The remains of the bladed beasts, torn apart by his spear, surged outwards, while the swarm of insects in front of them moved backwards, squeezing against each other, trying to avoid this god of death.

“Jie, are you afraid too?”

“Heh heh, weren’t you very cruel when you killed us humans?”

Behind the Taoist priest, a dark, narrow oval passage was filled with wreckage, and emerald blood flowed downwards like a small river as the pursuing horde of bladed beasts drew ever closer.

Ahead of him, immature Blade Beasts, with only soft shells and smaller than basic Blade Beasts by about 30%, were constantly retreating.

Sudden!

A mouth-like organ with a diameter of two meters appeared at the edge of Wang Jixuan’s spiritual consciousness!

His spiritual sense clearly saw a monster, resembling a giant python with a large head, a thin tail, and a round belly, being carried by dozens of basic bladed beasts, rushing rapidly from the underground passage.

The mouthparts of this ‘giant python’ blade beast expanded outwards like flower petals, and the rings of sharp teeth inside suddenly gleamed.

A bright green orb of light formed within its mouthparts!

Come on!

Wang Jixuan roared loudly.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

The giant python suddenly swung its head forward, and the green ball of light shot forward, exploding twenty meters away from Wang Jixuan!

Visible green shockwaves continued to erupt, sweeping in all directions!

Wang Jixuan gripped the spear with both hands, chanting incantations, and behind him appeared the shadow of a divine general clad in golden armor!

“…The Moon’s Canopy, the Earth Gate, the Heavenly Gate, the Bright Hall—settle or lie down, hide or conceal yourself! So be it!”

The Six Ding Protection Mantra!

The helmet’s front shattered suddenly, and the protective suit suffered dozens of tears!

The immature blade beasts around them howled and trembled, and many of the young beasts exploded. The horde of blade beasts rushing from the back of the passage tried their best to retreat.

The shockwave lasted for seventeen or eighteen seconds before it subsided.

The bladed beasts before and after Wang Jixuan were all affected.

His protective suit had dozens of holes, more than twenty Soul-Suppressing Talismans had become ineffective, more than ten Vajra Talismans had been activated, and his eyes were exposed after the front ‘glass’ of his helmet shattered, with a few traces of blood at the corners of his eyes.

Those eyes were almost completely stained with blood.

“Are you done barking?”

Wang Jixuan’s nostrils trembled slightly, and his voice was like a cold wind from the depths of hell.

He stared at the young Blade Beast, his left hand gripping a large crystal core.

The Core of the ‘Preacher’!

Ping!

The crystal core shattered, and streams of spiritual energy surged out, which Wang Jixuan absorbed with a deep breath. Suddenly, the remnant soul of the Preacher Blade Beast appeared, roaring as it charged toward Wang Jixuan’s brow.

Pfft!

A large hand, enveloped in blood-red light, firmly grasped the remnant soul.

Wang Jixuan didn’t even glance at it out of the corner of his eye!

Then, he clasped his hands together and gently blew a breath. The remnant soul of the preacher instantly quieted down, struggling to retreat, but it was slowly sent to Wang Jixuan’s brow.

Wang Jixuan’s soul suddenly appeared, like a three-inch-tall, semi-transparent little man. He suddenly opened a big mouth and swallowed the remnant soul of the preacher beast in one gulp!

Demonic power that devours souls!

The little figure even burped, its whole body radiating a blood-red light. The little figure’s primordial spirit and Wang Jixuan’s Dao body quickly merged in their eyes.

The soul has returned to its rightful place.

Ah, it’s really nourishing.

He began to understand why those talented demonic cultivators were unwilling to engage in arduous self-cultivation.

Where does the exhilaration of such plunder come from ascetic practices?

Oh? The remnant soul’s will can impact one’s own will, easily driving one insane? Even if a demonic cultivator doesn’t collapse, it’s still difficult for them to reach the Mahayana realm?

Quick success always comes with some risks; it’s about finding the right balance.

Besides, he doesn’t use demonic arts often… although it seems he’s been using them more frequently lately.

Why bother!

Heaven and earth gave me life, and all I need is to be happy!

Tsk tsk tsk, hahahaha!

In chaotic times, cultivate demonic arts; in tranquil times, cultivate immortality!

I never imagined that you were a genius in the world of demonic cultivation!

Wang Jixuan shouldered his spear, looked down at the general-level bladed beast, and a friendly smile appeared on his lips.

Fellow Daoist…

“What does your soul taste like?”

The general-level blade beast suddenly began to struggle, constantly moving its bloated body backward.

Wang Jixuan burst into laughter, completely disregarding the terrain, and charged forward with his gun, unleashing his last few high-explosive grenades.

His body was like a fierce tiger, and his spear was like a soaring dragon, sweeping up the severed limbs and remains of the beasts!

Destroy the larval nest!

…

Zhou Zhengde was awakened by the cheers around him.

He gripped the armrest of the chair, the scene that had just occurred flashing through his mind.

He knew that his political and military careers were almost over.

But he didn’t pay much attention to these things, and he didn’t know how long he had been knocked unconscious by Dongfang Zhenghong’s punch. He shook his head vigorously and was still a little dizzy when he got up.

“how’s it going?”

He asked in a trembling voice:

“What about Wang Zheng? How is he?”

The cheering technicians ahead didn’t notice him.

Dongfang Zhenghong turned around and looked over, sighed softly, and said in a low voice, “They are celebrating finding Black Storm in the deep sea and are bringing him back. Black Storm is unconscious, but his vital signs are normal.”

“What’s the meaning?”

“Things developed in a way that was beyond our expectations. We don’t know exactly what happened. The last combat information we were able to capture was that the general-level larva unleashed its strongest mental attack, which affected a large number of blade beasts. Our detection equipment also broke down.”

Dongfang Zhenghong spoke quickly, glanced at his watch, and smiled:

“About five minutes after that powerful mental shock, the bio-energy waveform of that general-level blade beast disappeared…”

“Then, Wu Man said that he sensed the mournful cry of a general-level blade beast.”

“We estimate that the Black Storm seems to have entered a state of some kind of out-of-control state. Its bio-energy waveform is fluctuating. About twenty minutes later, Wu Man on the plane was able to sense these Blade Beasts. He gave the Blade Beasts at the bottom of the fortress a retreat order. The Blade Beasts retreated from the 46th, 47th and 48th floors to the gap on the 49th floor, trying to create chaos by having the Blade Beasts collide with each other.”

“The black storm seemed to be still in control, and began to change direction, attacking back from the underground blade beasts’ lair and intercepting them halfway.”

“Just now, Deep Sea arrived and rushed down… According to Deep Sea’s feedback, Black Storm fainted as soon as they met and before they could even speak. Deep Sea said that Black Storm’s condition was quite terrifying. He was covered in blood, but not a single drop was his own, and a needle was sticking out of his forehead… It was very scary.”

“So, don’t worry, he did it.”

Dongfang Zhenghong clicked his tongue:

“Although what he meant by delaying was rushing into the underground nest and killing all the larvae… it was indeed a delay, no doubt about it.”

Zhou Zhengde asked, “How many were killed or wounded in the lower city?”

“Since the black storm appeared in the lower city, the death toll has not increased significantly. He saved hundreds of thousands of humans. This guy is a monster. I’m going to have a good drink with him later.”

Dongfang Zhenghong said with great interest:

“On the contrary, you hothead, are you prepared to face trial by a military court?”

Zhou Zhengde smiled and shrugged: “I was just thinking of learning missile maintenance and care so I can find a second job after I get out of prison.”

“Before this, I thought you, this greenhorn, could still put some of your professional skills to good use.”

Dongfang Zhenghong raised his chin slightly, and Zhou Zhengde looked at the constantly flashing communication requests beside him.

It was a communication request sent by Wei Linzheng.

Zhou Zhengde narrowed his eyes: “Can I be a little rude to them?”

“Yes, um, there’s more.”

Dongfang Zhenghong coughed:

“Please say a few good words for me to your mother. She’s very upset that I punched you. You know she spoils you rotten.”

Zhou Zhengde’s gaze immediately became incredibly complex.
