450: The setting sun is like blood

In the sky.

A red You Long Po Jun Spear pierced through Lilith's body.

The black-robed old man was in front.

Lilith was behind him.

A huge hole appeared in her abdomen.

Blood gushed out from it.

She fell backward with a look of astonishment, plummeting towards the ground.

She was stunned once again.

Xiao Zhanmo, standing in the air, laughed heartily and boisterously.

"The Demon King Group is nothing more than this!"

Suddenly, his laughter abruptly stopped.

Because his heart stopped beating.

His vision gradually blurred.

The Aura of life rapidly dissipated at this moment.

That one spear strike was his entire life.

Once it was used, he was gone.

Finally, he murmured to himself, "In this life, I have no regrets."

Then, he closed his eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Fan quickly performed a spatial transfer.

The two black robes remained motionless.

But the person within the black robes was already different.

Xiao Zhanmo lay on a hidden patch of ground, his eyes tightly closed; though dead, he rested in peace.

Xiao Fan, floating in the air, felt incredibly complex emotions.

Strictly speaking, his plan had been disrupted.

But at this moment, he no longer wanted to think so much.

In his mind, only the last conversation with Xiao Zhanmo remained.

"Are you willing to die just like this?"

"Secret troops... they are meant to be unsung; whether they live or die, no one else should know."

"Then do you have any final wishes?"

"I don't have many wishes left. If I had to say one, I want the Human Race to win, I want peace, I want every child to grow up well."

Xiao Fan promised Xiao Zhanmo that he would fulfill his wish.

Although he knew the difficulty of this wish was akin to ascending to heaven.

But he understood now.

He was a lucky child.

Although the beginning was a bit bumpy and difficult, the outcome was good.

The only difference between him and Xiao Zhanmo was that one had the help of the Planet Will and the favor of Chen Changsheng.

The other did not, so his luck was very bad, and after suffering an irresistible disaster, everything ended.

Green Leaf City was very small and remote.

But at least it was peaceful and free from disaster.

However, this peace was exchanged for by countless Xiao Zhanmos.

He had always stood behind a group of people he had never noticed before.

Those people had forged high walls with their flesh and blood, protecting them from the elements.

Now.

It was his turn to be that high wall!

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan suddenly flicked the long spear in his hand, pointing it forward, and roared in an old voice, "Everyone, form up!"

Everything returned to the initial starting point.

Today's plan was to cover this land with the Water Dragon Ascension Formation.

Now, Lilith had been severely injured.

Huang Lin, on the side, was also contemplating a retreat; with Lintao and Jiang Linyuan absent, what was he fighting for?

It was just a waste of time.

The most important thing was that they already knew that the person under the black robe was an old man whose lifespan was rapidly depleting, not Xiao Fan.

Since this old man's life was not long, instead of fighting him to the death, it was better to run away; when the time came, he would naturally die.

Most importantly, that spear strike just now was really a bit frightening.

Even Lilith had been knocked unconscious.

He might not be able to withstand it!

Therefore, Huang Lin chose to drag Lilith and flee.

This scene, falling into the eyes of the Human Race army, greatly boosted their Aura.

The Human Race already held an absolute advantage in the middle-tier battles.

Now, the outcome of the top-tier battle had also been decided.

So, there was no doubt that the Human Race would win this battle.

The warriors of the Other-race, upon seeing Huang Lin and Lilith choose to retreat, immediately wanted to leave as well.

The upper echelon isn't fighting anymore.

If we stay here, there's only a dead end.

Everything, everything, concluded with Xiao Zhanmo's spear strike, drawing the curtain.

Huang Lin dragged Lilith, swiftly fleeing.

Xiao Fan watched this scene, his eyes slightly narrowed.

His goal was to obtain the Wild Bone Clan's Ancestor Martial Arts through Huang Lin.

However... Huang Lin's figure was too conspicuous in this battle, and directly acting would be too unstable.

He really wanted to get that Martial Arts manual.

Because his devil core had never evolved, and as his Realm improved, the Demon King Armor, due to the devil core not improving with it, was becoming somewhat insufficient in strength.

Of course, 'insufficient in strength' was relative to Xiao Fan himself; against others, it was certainly more than enough.

Never mind, he would be entering the Other-race Continent soon anyway.

There would be plenty of opportunities to trouble the Wild Bone Clan then.

Currently, the Other-race themselves were about to fall into internal strife; the Earth Goddess Church and the alien species seemed to be at odds, and various small-scale battles had already begun.

Xiao Fan naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to profit from the chaos in the Other-race Continent, learn Divine-Grade amplification Martial Arts, and explore the powerful secrets of those alien races.

From Xiao Zhanmo's spear strike that pierced Lilith just now, Xiao Fan could roughly deduce that.

With the Fire of Resistance activated, he was still the strongest among the younger generation.

But this was absolutely not enough.

In the future, they would face unrestricted, indiscriminate warfare, so the stronger the strength, the better.

Therefore, he did not want to expose himself at this point in time.

Because there were still many, many paths that could make him stronger.

If the information that Xiao Fan was still alive were exposed, the alien races would surely become extremely vigilant, even sending countless people to hunt him down.

This would, invisibly, make those paths to becoming stronger extremely difficult to traverse.

He always prioritized stability, so he naturally had to wait until everything was ready before making his appearance.

Unless absolutely necessary, like today.

But fortunately, with the on-the-spot burst of power from senior Xiao Zhanmo, he made some modifications to the You Long Po Jun Spear, coupled with his talent, and the Fire of Resistance.

He directly shattered Lilith.

Coupled with the departure of Lintao and Jiang Linyuan.

It also caused Huang Lin to lose the reason to continue fighting.

So, today's battle... ended just like that.

At this moment, Xiao Fan also understood that although the war was grand and involved many participants, what truly determined the outcome of the battle was the Peak combat power.

It was like the Blue Star before the Spiritual Qi recovery, where it was about whose country had more nuclear bombs; other planes, tanks, and cannons all had to rank behind nuclear bombs, and far behind.

There were roughly three trends.

One side's Peak combat power achieved a complete victory, and the defeated side's entire army retreated.

Both sides' Peak combat power suffered mutual losses, and the middle-tier continued to fight fiercely.

Or, one side was defeated, and the other side only achieved a small victory, then the middle-tier still had a chance to use human wave tactics to wear down the heavily depleted Peak combat power of the opponent.

Now, Xiao Fan was slaughtering among the vast retreating Other-race army, with enemy heads falling with every movement of his hand.

He killed a hundred people in ten steps, and annihilated a squad with one spear.

Behind him, the Human Race army's Aura was extremely strong, and they were constantly giving chase.

The setting sun was like blood.

Lilith didn't even get to see the sun set before the battle ended.

Behind her, Hei's expression was complex.

They had won.

But she couldn't smile at all.

If it weren't for the class leader's timely intervention, today would have been over.

But how many class leaders did the Super God Class have?

They couldn't rely on the class leader forever, could they?

A strong sense of anxiety and urgency permeated Hei's heart.

The only thing that could console her was that through this confrontation with Lilith, she had roughly glimpsed the appearance of the Other Shore Flower.

She was closer to Awakening.

It was just that, sometimes, being one step away was a lifetime away...

At this moment, she suddenly looked up.

Only to see at the end of her sight.

A black robe had already left his body.

An old figure holding a black-gold long spear was bathed in the golden setting sun.

Xiao Fan once again swapped places with Xiao Zhanmo, who had already stopped breathing.

The old man, devoid of all life Aura, his eyes closed, slowly drifted from the setting sun to the ground, like a fallen leaf in late autumn.

His tumultuous life finally came to its last period.

That frail, aged figure fell amidst the moist gazes of countless people.

He fulfilled the dream of his youth.

He defeated the Demon King Group.

He became a hero.

Li Fufeng took a deep breath, noticed that the overall situation at the very front was settled, and then roared.

"Everyone!"

"Salute!!!"
