1165: Chapter 1165 One Dead, One Escaped

The Light Sword transformed into a blazing white curtain of light, continuously slashing at the surface of the energy sphere, sending sparks and energy turbulence flying everywhere.

However, the power of Ming Luo's desperate strike was too terrifying. Although the energy sphere was being weakened, it continued to crush downward with an unstoppable momentum!

"Boom—!!!"

Finally, the energy sphere slammed violently into the armguards of the Emperor Armor, which were crossed in a defensive block!

The blinding blood-light and the blazing white energy shield collided and annihilated each other intensely!

The Emperor Armor was sent flying backward for several kilometers like a meteor. Spider-web-like cracks appeared on the armguards, and the energy core on the chest flashed rapidly, clearly having taken a massive impact!

On the other side, Dragon Xuanyuan's expression was solemn to the extreme as he faced the pouring Styx filth-blood and the undead legion.

The purple-gold light of the human emperor seal above his head was more brilliant than ever. The light curtain it cast protected him firmly as the xuanyuan sword unleashed a sky full of sword shadows, each strike annihilating several undead.

But the number of undead was simply too vast, and the Styx filth-blood was extremely corrosive and foul, constantly eroding the radiance of the human emperor seal and his protective Divine Power.

Even more lethal was the suction from the Gate of Yellow Springs, making him feel as if he were carrying billions of stars. His movements became increasingly sluggish, and even the roar of the purple-gold dragon phantom carried a hint of heaviness.

"Xuanyuan Sword Art: Starfall!"

Dragon Xuanyuan gritted his teeth and once again activated his Origin. The xuanyuan sword transformed into a purple-gold meteor that pierced through heaven and earth, attempting to shatter the core of the Gate of Yellow Springs.

However, as the meteor sword light plunged into the Styx filth-blood and the undead tide, although it plowed a path and annihilated countless ghosts, it was ultimately worn away by the dense, sinking Death Qi before it could reach the gate.

Dragon Xuanyuan let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood escaping the corner of his mouth as his Aura clearly weakened.

Several days of high-intensity combat had already consumed a massive amount of his strength. Now, facing the opponent's desperate counterattack with secret techniques, he finally began to sustain injuries.

Meanwhile, the situation on the battlefield below took a sharp turn for the worse!

Just as Ming Luo and Nie Ku erupted, the "Seven Blades" who had been entangled with the Human Race powerhouses seemed to receive some silent command. They instantly broke away from their respective opponents and converged rapidly in a profound formation!

With their Auras linked and Laws resonating, they formed a small combined-attack battle array flowing with seven-colored destructive light in an instant!

"Seven Blades Combined Strike: Army-Breaker Killing Array!"

Seven different colored but equally sharp and peerless attacks—Blade-glow, sword shadows, spear beams, hammer strikes, whip lashes, arrows, and poisonous mist—blasted simultaneously toward the densest area of Human Race powerhouses from seven extremely tricky angles!

The power of this combined strike was not a simple addition; it had undergone a qualitative change, its power approaching the full-strength blow of a Middle Stage Tier 5 Powerhouse!

"Not good! Scatter, quickly!"

Bai Yuan's face changed drastically as he let out a hoarse roar.

However, it was already too late.

Constantine roared as he propped up a golden shield, Miles bellowed while throwing a punch to meet the attack, the Sword Lord's Sword Qi crisscrossed in an attempt to intercept, the Blade Lord's Blade-glow slashed wildly, and the Qinglan Lord's storm swept out... everyone put forth their full strength to resist.

But in such haste, how could they withstand this long-premeditated, lethal combined strike?

"Rumble—!!!"

A destructive seven-colored energy storm exploded within the ranks of the Human Race powerhouses!

In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and severed limbs were scattered!

Over ten Human Race Tier 4 Powerhouse were completely torn apart and annihilated in the energy storm before they could even let out a scream!

Among them were long-famed elders who guarded various regions as well as rising stars!

Constantine's golden battle armor shattered. Covered in blood and with his spear broken, he staggered backward.

Miles's arms were a bloody mess, and a deep wound that exposed his bone marked his chest as his Aura withered.

The Sword Lord's white robes were stained with blood, and his shoulder blade was pierced through.

Several notches were chipped into the Blade Lord's great blade, and the webbing of his thumb was torn.

The Qinglan Lord's face was pale, and his Cyclone Domain was shattered...

With just a single strike, the top combat power of the Human Race suffered heavy losses and a serious reduction in numbers!

Grief, indignation, and despair flooded the hearts of the survivors like a cold tide.

"Hahahahaha!"

Ming Luo laughed maniacally. Although his own condition was extremely poor, he still felt a sense of gratification upon seeing the results below.

"Do you see? This is the consequence of resisting the Empire! No matter how many ants there are, they are still just ants!"

Nie Ku's spirits were also lifted as he pushed the Gate of Yellow Springs even harder, intending to drag Dragon Xuanyuan completely into the Netherworld.

Dragon Xuanyuan's eyes nearly split from rage. Seeing his comrades die tragic deaths below, a piercing pain and a sky-toppling fury almost drowned out his reason.

But he was pinned down by the Gate of Yellow Springs and simply could not lend a hand.

The Emperor Armor had just stabilized itself, and seeing the situation, its energy core fluctuated violently. Clearly, Su Wuming's emotions were equally turbulent.

Was it... really going to end in defeat and death here?

In that moment of total despair and extreme tragedy—

"Swoosh—!"

"Swoosh—!"

"Swoosh—!"

Three piercing sounds of breaking air, like blood-colored lightning, shot out without warning from a void rift at the edge of the battlefield!

Their speed was so fast that it exceeded the perception limits of most Tier 5 Powerhouses present!

Three figures, carrying a thick, inseparable scent of blood and heart-palpitatingly vigorous vitality, smashed into the heart of the battlefield like three burning blood-colored meteors!

The first blood shadow was the most massive and solid, like a demon god walking out of a sea of blood!

He was nearly three meters tall, with an exaggeratedly robust physique. His muscles bulged like carved granite, his skin was dark red, and lava-like patterns flowed over its surface.

He carried no weapons, relying solely on a pair of giant, fan-like palms. But the blood energy condensed on those palms seemed capable of tearing apart stars with bare hands!

As soon as he appeared, he carried a tyrannical and peerless Aura, crashing directly into Ming Luo, who was frantically attacking the Emperor Armor!

"Get lost!"

With a roar as muffled as thunder, the blood-colored giant palm collided fiercely with Ming Luo's "Mad God Blood Armor" fist!

"Thud—!!!"

A dull, terrifying bang, louder than any previous collision, exploded!

Ming Luo's star-shattering fist was actually forced back by this sudden palm strike!

In his berserk state, Ming Luo had actually fallen into a disadvantage for the first time in a pure contest of strength!

The blood shadow's body only swayed slightly before he stepped forward again, his fists slamming toward Ming Luo like war drums. Everywhere the fist-winds passed, the space was slightly distorted by the scorching, extreme blood energy!

The second and third blood shadows were like two more agile and vigorous streaks of blood-colored lightning, instantly cutting into the chaotic battlefield below. Their target was the "Seven Blades" battle array, whose linked Aura had not yet fully dispersed after their combined strike!

The bodies of these two figures were relatively normal in size, but their vitality was just as vigorous, like two boiling furnaces!

One held a blood-colored bone whip; wherever the whip's shadow passed, it left trails of corrosive blood marks in space. The other held two blood-colored short blades; the blade-light was tricky and ruthless, specializing in attacking vital points.

"Kill!"

Amidst the brief, sharp shouts, the blood-colored bone whip shot out like a venomous dragon, lashing fiercely at the energy connection nodes of the "Seven Blades" battle array! The blood-colored short blades transformed into a sky of blood rain, enveloping three of them!
