280: Chapter 280 [The Heavenly Sword Intent that Shatters Energy and Destroys Objects]
Gathering momentum, a nearly 10-meter-tall, several-hundred-ton frame charged forward.
The Elite Orc Warriors lined up in front scattered to the sides, while the Weirdboys further unleashed their Spells, bolstering and amplifying the Warlord's psychic aura.
The massive power armor charged ahead; the air in front seemed to be torn apart by the powerful impact, and a fierce gale echoed throughout the cavern.
Facing the charge of this powerful mech, Meng Yuemei felt her pressure spike, while simultaneously assessing the gap between them: "The volume of this Warlord's transcendent energy is significantly higher than mine, but their attack method still relies on augmenting these power weapons, which is quite different from the Magical Artifact weapons I currently use."
In transcendent combat, purely technological weapons can still have a crushing effect against low-tier lifeforms, but against lifeforms of the same tier, they are very likely to be eroded and destroyed by the opponent's transcendent Law.
That is why the Warlord covers his power weapons with his collective psychic energy, to avoid interference from other forces.
Thinking this through, her eyes grew brighter, and she drew the clear-light remnant sword hanging at her waist; a sense of life-Fusion resonated in her hand.
The grade of this longsword had already reached the Medium Grade of the first tier; it was precisely the other complementary path of the Life-Bound Magical Armament, outside of the True Intent route in the current Martial Dao System.
The Life-Bound Magical Armament fuses with one's life essence and Qi, referencing the path of the Cultivators' life-bound Magical Artifacts. However, the difference is that these Life-Bound Magical Armaments are meant to further enhance the Law True Intent, or even Imagery True Intent, that Martial Heaven-Men have comprehended, using this to mutually nourish each other and ultimately achieve a path where True Intent and the Magical Armament fuse into one.
In addition to further enhancing the lethality of the Law True Intent, the Life-Bound Magical Armament also compensates for the defect that the Martial Dao System lacks an Imagery Dao Foundation like other systems. Therefore, the Life-Bound Magical Armament is also a physical carrier for the corresponding Imagery True Intent, and can likewise give birth to corresponding Divine Abilities, though slightly fewer than the Cultivator system of the Heavenly Prefecture Grand Assembly.
At this moment, Meng Yuemei drew her longsword and held it horizontally before her, and a stern Imagery of matter-shattering erupted.
Throughout the entire cavern, the fungal plants closest to her were torn to pieces, whether from the ripple of her Imagery or from being infected by its influence. At the same time, cracks spread across the cavern walls; even the squad members lined up behind Meng Yuemei to defend could not withstand it and retreated one after another.
The Warlord charging over was somewhat surprised to see this strange scene, but the instinct for battle in his blood already made him unable to care about anything else.
The power giant axe and power claw were raised together, and green psychic energy and a decomposition field slashed down; this terrifying attack seemed about to split the standing Meng Yuemei, who held her sword horizontally, in two.
But at this moment, her aura seemed to return to nothingness, unaffected by the incoming attack, and she thrust her sword out with extreme speed.
[Energy-Breaking, Matter-Shattering Heavenly Sword Intent]
The shattering Imagery that had originally covered the surroundings instantly contracted, condensing into a single point, hitting the incoming psychic energy and decomposition field dead center.
"Crack!"
The shattering Imagery vanished, and Meng Yuemei leaped backward to retreat.
The Warlord who had been slashing down was pleased with the situation.
However, the moment he wanted to lift the power giant axe in his hand to toss aside the Human Race monkey that was slashing and running away, the power giant axe shattered, and the power claw on his other arm did the same.
Pieces of metal disintegrated; that strange Sword Intent seemed to have penetrated into these two semi-transcendent weapons that had been specially modified by the Weirdboys and infused with collective psychic energy.
The transcendent psychic energy that had originally covered them was now completely gone, whether shattered away or dissipated during the resistance process.
Looking at the weapon fragments that had turned into tiny pieces in his two hands, a trace of panic surged in the Warlord's heart; he seemed to recall the scene of a Warboss's death he had accidentally captured, who had been killed even while possessing a small-area collective psychic field.
The scene was the same: defeated in one blow, killed in one blow.
It was just that this human monkey was still too weak compared to that death-god-like attack, but this kind of attack was more than enough to deal with someone of his strength.
Just as he was preparing to beat a retreat in his heart, his peripheral vision noticed the human monkey in the distance looking exhausted, as if this attack had consumed all her strength.
All thoughts converged into one point: seize this opportunity and kill them!
Acting as soon as he thought of it, a roar of charge echoed throughout the cavern space: "Waaagh! Charge! Slaughter them!"
The Elite Orc Warriors and countless boyz, who had been shocked by this battle, now came to their senses and raised their power weapons and Weirdboy staves to charge and attack.
Meng Yuemei, having succeeded in one strike, had indeed exhausted 80% of her Qi; her Qi was currently still at the first-tier, third-level, just a bit short of the Middle Stage of the first tier.
But in this battle, with the help of the decomposition field of the power weapons used by these orcs, she successfully comprehended an energy and matter-shattering Imagery more powerful than the Law of shattering, instantly neutralizing the massive collective psychic energy gathered on those two power weapons.
At the same time, she further destroyed the two power weapons in the opponent's hands, though this was already her current limit.
Therefore, after retreating, she pursued the squad.
As for the Greenskin Orcs behind, the battle group's standard-issue and her own newly purchased Spell grenades would be enough to give them a hard time.
A thunderous roar echoed throughout the cavern space; the Green-skinned Elite Warriors who had been charging forward directly endured a blast from a Medium Grade first-tier lightning Spell, which instantly wiped out more than half of the Elite Warriors.
Seeing this, the Warlord's eyes turned red, fury and rage intertwined.
Regardless of whether that human monkey could still unleash such an attack, he drove his massive power armor to chase and kill them.
The tribe's Weirdboys immediately stepped forward to provide treatment; the Warlord, who had originally thought these human monkeys were his to slaughter, did not expect the successive Spell grenades to leave him dazed and confused.
Although they were all ordinary Medium Grade first-tier Spells and could not break through his powerful transcendent force field that had undergone multiple augmentations, they were enough to cause him multiple delays, making it completely impossible to keep up with the speed of the lightly equipped main squad.
At the same time, such violent Spell shockwaves caused the mech, which was already cobbled together, to shed quite a few parts along the way.
Seeing that this group of human monkeys was about to return to the surface, the Warlord didn't care about anything else and immediately summoned the large Squig burrower hovering around the cavern to cut them off, blocking the path to the surface ahead of them.
At this moment, the Warlord, standing by the cave entrance, watched the human squad arriving step by step, his wild laughter echoing out: "Monkeys, prepare to meet your deaths! To die at the hands of the great Bagdad is the honor of your lives!"
