127: Chapter 127 Don't let anyone leave the valley alive!
"The path of the sword is truly fascinating!"
"Don't be envious. Her grandfather is Sword God Wu Bai. In the entire world, he's guaranteed to be in the top five, fighting for the top three!"
Watching Wu Yuqing's receding figure, Zheng Jiahao and Xu Feng couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, Li Mo had considered that with Baal's intelligence, it should be easy to separate him, but he hadn't expected it to be this easy.
His five thousand troops were just abandoned in the valley by him like that.
No wonder the veterans of The Military always said that everyone in the Black Earth Tribe, except for Morpheus, was brainless.
Seeing their division commander leave, the group in the valley didn't even try to stop him, letting themselves be abandoned there.
Actually, you could figure it out with your toes—how could a place so suitable for an ambush not have one?
However, since the enemy delivered themselves to his doorstep, Li Mo had no reason not to collect their heads.
He shouted to everyone: "Brothers, Deputy Battalion Commander Wu has already drawn away the most dangerous one; now it's our turn to get to work!"
"I have only one order: do not let a single person from the Black Earth Tribe leave this valley alive!"
"Yes!"
Li Mo had long been prepared. The Heavy Artillery Position was responsible for bombarding the main enemies in the valley, and another seven hundred men were divided to guard the two wide-entry, narrow-exit passes of the valley. As long as there were no accidents, all five thousand of these people would die here.
It was the same situation as that group of medical troops at Snow Dragon Mountain!
As for the troops led by Baal, their intelligence was about the same as Baal's. After Baal left, many of them even stopped immediately to rest. After all, they had exhausted quite a bit of their energy chasing them all the way from the swamp.
"Sigh! I wonder how long General Baal will be fighting this time!"
"That woman looks very strong! But General Baal told us not to interfere, so we shouldn't court disaster. Let's eat some rations! Maybe we can even get a good sleep!"
Just as these Black Earth Tribe soldiers were chatting, something crystalline and brilliant, like meteors, suddenly streaked across the sky above them.
"Huh? What is that?"
"It's a crystal core cluster bomb! You idiots! Dodge!"
Much like the situation at Snow Dragon Mountain, crystal core cluster bombs and various high-end, cutting-edge technological weapons bloomed across the ground.
When Baal brought these five thousand people in, he didn't have them spread out at all, so all five thousand were gathered together. When the crystal core cluster bombs fell, they didn't even have room to escape!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground erupted with deafening roars, and countless soldiers were instantly pulverized into dust or even nothingness by the violent power of the crystal cores.
Meanwhile, the duel between Wu Yuqing and Baal had begun. The two arrived on a hillside and stood facing each other.
Baal spoke first: "Woman, I admit you do have some strength, but to challenge me with just this much, you are being too arrogant!"
Holding the wushuang sword, Wu Yuqing didn't take Baal's contempt to heart and just said coldly: "Stop the nonsense! Let me give you a famous Daxia saying: let's see the real results in our fight!"
The next moment, Wu Yuqing swung the wushuang sword heavily.
She clearly didn't stab directly at Baal, but countless sword qi bloomed on his body.
Baal was known as a human tank, which mostly described his defense as being like an impenetrable wall of bronze and iron; unless one's realm was far higher than his, it was impossible to break through his defenses.
Yet, incredibly, as Wu Yuqing swung her long sword, the countless sword qi instantly caused numerous sword marks to appear on Baal's body, and blood sprayed out immediately.
"Ah!"
Such a serious injury made even Baal cry out in pain. The fact that Wu Yuqing's sword qi could easily break his defense made him doubt his own existence.
Baal exclaimed in shock: "How is this possible! You are only in the Liangyi Realm, how can you break my defense?"
How is it not possible?
The foundation of the Martial God Family is unimaginable; after all, the descendants of the Martial God are well-deserved prodigies.
Sword Saint Wu Bai's Steel-Severing Sword Technique can break through all defenses in the world and is indestructible. Sword Saint Wu Bai's Body-Breaking Sword Qi can kill people invisibly.
Coupled with the SSS-rank sword technique Wu Yuqing herself comprehended, the Nine Absolute Flying Swords.
Don't look at Wu Yuqing's realm as only being in the Liangyi Realm; when it comes to the path of the sword alone, there are few people in the world who can surpass her.
Furthermore, although Baal was a Sanhe Realm martial artist, he had a fatal weakness: he had not cultivated his divine soul!
Walter's own strength was actually considered weak within the Sanhe Realm, but because he had cultivated his divine soul, it made Li Mo, who possessed the Chaos Star Art, have an extremely difficult time fighting him.
Even if Baal had pushed his physical fitness to the limit, without cultivating his divine soul, he still couldn't widen the gap against a Liangyi Realm martial artist.
If Li Mo were to evaluate him, Baal was actually just a hollow shell—strong on the outside but weak on the inside—who could only bully those with lower realms than himself. When he truly encountered a powerhouse, he would fall apart.
But Baal had earned the title of Tyrant after all, so he wasn't that easy to defeat. His cultivation technique was not only strong in defense, but even more terrifying in its regenerative power.
Wu Yuqing's sword qi had just left wounds on his body, but the next second, his wounds recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Wu Yuqing laughed instead: "Heh, this is interesting. Otherwise, I would have thought the enemy general was only at this level!"
"Die!"
Baal leaped, his body moving like a cannonball fired from a chamber, and he took the initiative to attack Wu Yuqing.
...
At this moment, Baal did not know that the troops he had abandoned in the valley had already suffered heavy casualties.
With such flat terrain, plus the crowd gathered together, just one round of bombardment wiped out nearly half of the opposing forces!
The remaining half were either injured or terrified out of their wits, collapsing and fleeing.
Seeing this, Xu Feng said excitedly: "Boss, should we charge down and harvest them now?"
At this moment, Li Mo shook his head and said: "No need, that would be a waste of time! You only need to be responsible for the stragglers. For this many people, I can clear them out myself!"
The reason Li Mo had previously said he was confident in taking out so many people within half an hour was because he was prepared to go all out and finish the battle quickly.
Li Mo slowly extended his hands; one hand emitted golden flames, while the other gathered purple mysterious thunder. Then, he pressed his palms together, slowly assuming a posture similar to prayer.
Immediately following this, the Primal World-Purifying Thunder and the Candle Dragon Flame—two completely different powers—fused together, and bursts of Sanskrit-like chanting, sounding like demonic incantations, echoed all around.
Suddenly, the entire sky above the valley turned a burning red, and countless bolts of lightning intertwined and gathered, forming a color that was inexplicably eerie yet extremely magnificent.
Even the Black Earth Tribe soldiers who were trying to flee were startled by this and froze in place!
"What is happening?"
This was Li Mo's only SSS-rank combat technique, the Crimson Lotus World-Purifying Curse!
