102: This bastard must be killed to the point of being terrified.

A powerhouse at the half-step sixth realm... was blown to bits with one punch!

Silence instantly fell before the main office building.

Li Zheng Guo and the others rubbed their eyes vigorously.

It felt like they had eaten hallucinogenic mushrooms.

One second, A Gu was still roaring about taking on thirty people.

The next second, he was out cold.

Magical, it was too magical.

According to their script, Lu Ming and A Gu would fight for three hundred rounds, using all their trump cards, battling until the sky and earth turned dark.

Ultimately, Lu Ming would create a miracle, winning by a narrow margin.

But he... instantly killed him!!!

The Blackbone Soldiers were even more terrified, their souls scattered.

Some directly collapsed to the ground, others trembled all over.

Their revered leader, their very sky, couldn't even withstand one punch from the opponent.

The headless corpse on the ground completely shattered their last shred of belief.

Commander A Gu had fallen.

The sky had fallen!

"Com-Commander... is dead?"

A Blackbone Soldier stammered, his voice filled with despair.

"We... we're finished..."

Lu Ming retracted his fist, the bloody light gradually dissipating.

He didn't even look at the corpse on the ground, merely raising a hand to wipe away the black blood splattered on his cheek.

"What a picture of solidarity."

"Don't panic, if you die now, you might still catch up to your commander's soul."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Hu was the first to react, brandishing his broad-backed saber and charging towards the nearest Blackbone Soldier, his roars filled with excitement.

"Kill! Avenge our brothers!"

Li Zheng Guo and the others also picked up their weapons and charged towards the Blackbone Soldiers.

The sounds of battle erupted again before the main office building, but this time, there was no suspense.

With A Gu dead, the Blackbone Soldiers completely lost the courage to resist, leaving only the despair of being slaughtered.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the broken windows of the main office building, casting its light on the black blood and broken corpses, staining the bluestone slabs a dark red.

Lu Ming stood on the steps, gazing at the boundless Black Abyss, his heart not at ease.

Bai Qiuyue and her group had been fighting in the Black Abyss for a while now.

If they couldn't slay that beast, Linyuan City would still be difficult to defend... Meanwhile, at Jiangcheng First People's Hospital.

Chen Xiaoling looked at her haggard brother, hesitating to speak.

Chen Ziliang saw his sister's hesitant expression and smiled, pulling at the corners of his mouth: "What's wrong?"

Chen Xiaoling's eyes reddened, and she nodded then shook her head: "Brother, is the Linyuan City passage about to fall? Are you also preparing to go to the front lines? I just saw many soldier brothers being carried in."

Chen Ziliang's eyes flickered, and he looked out the window.

The once bustling roadway had become desolate, and the occasional vehicles passing by were mostly military green transport trucks.

Outside the hospital gate in the distance, medical personnel in protective suits were rushing by, pushing stretchers.

The white sheets covering the stretchers occasionally revealed a corner of a blood-stained military uniform.

He withdrew his gaze, reached out to ruffle his sister's hair, and spoke as gently as possible: "Don't overthink it, as long as our Night Watch Division is still here, the sky won't fall."

"Our Director Zhao is a Fifth Realm existence!"

But even he lacked confidence in his own words.

The two venerables stationed at Linyuan City were Seventh Realm, yet they were still crushed by that demonic thing with a single palm.

Seeing his sister's still uneasy expression, Chen Ziliang smiled again.

"My superior, Brother Lu, you know him. He's incredibly fierce. With his explosive temper, he's probably already cut through all the foreign races in Linyuan City by now."

"But brother, didn't you say that Brother Lu's cultivation was only at the Fourth Realm?" Chen Xiaoling bit her lip, muttering softly.

The smile on Chen Ziliang's face froze.

Yes, Fourth Realm.

No matter how monstrous Brother Lu was, it would be impossible for him to cut through all the defenders of Linyuan City.

Perhaps he really had to have his little sister evacuate Jiangcheng first.

As for himself... the Night Watch Division had no souls that died in battle, no soldiers that fled.

Many shared Chen Ziliang's thoughts.

Including Wei Changfeng and others, they had all arranged for their families to evacuate Jiangcheng in advance.

An extremely oppressive atmosphere enveloped everyone's hearts.

Even the high-ranking officials of Great Xia were gathered at the Capital's Strategic Command Center at this moment.

"Analyzing this and that, what's the use of it!"

"According to me, just let that old geezer Murong lead the army in, rendezvous with the little girl Bai, and retake Linyuan City, wouldn't that be enough?"

A rough voice boomed in the solemn command center; it was Qin Zhan, the King of Mount Tai, speaking.

He had a fiery temper and couldn't stand procrastination.

"Absolutely not! This could be a trap by the Netherworld Royal Court. Great Xia has already lost two venerables, we cannot gamble again!"

A refutation quickly arose; it was Xu Wenyuan, the Chief of Staff of the Great Xia Demon Suppression Army, speaking.

"This isn't right, that won't do, then what do you think, little girl Zhuge?"

The one named was none other than Zhuge Waner, the highest-ranking official of the Night Watch Division.

"Where is Murong Nan now?"

When Zhuge Waner raised her eyes, her cascading dark hair swayed gently with the movement, outlining the exquisite curve of her jaw.

She wore a black Warring States robe, which made her skin appear as white as snow. Only in her narrow, phoenix-like eyes was there an unyielding coldness, as if she could pierce through all mists.

Despite her beauty, enough to make one lose their composure, no one dared to show the slightest disrespect in her presence.

Xu Wenyuan lightly tapped his fingertip on the holographic sandbox, and the real-time coordinates of the Northern Army led by Murong Nan immediately lit up.

"Expected to arrive at Linyuan City in thirty minutes."

Zhuge Waner's phoenix eyes swept over the red warning points on the sandbox, and she nodded slightly.

"Half a day earlier than expected..."

Then, Zhuge Waner's fingertip gently landed on the holographic sandbox, and her ink-dark phoenix eyes gained a hint of killing intent.

"Order: Upon Murong Nan's arrival at the passage, immediately advance directly to Linyuan City!"

Zhuge Waner's voice suddenly rose, clear and cold, carrying an undeniable authority.

The hem of her black Warring States robe fluttered with the movement of her raised hand, and her fair fingertip heavily tapped the holographic sandbox.

Xu Wenyuan's expression changed, but remembering Zhuge Waner's almost demonic intelligence, the words that were about to escape his lips were swallowed back.

With her almost abnormal insight, it was impossible for her not to have considered the possibility of a trap.

Sure enough, Zhuge Waner curved her lips into a beautiful smile, her eyes fixed on everyone, as if everything was within her calculations.

"The King of Zhennan has sent a secret letter. He and the King of Thunder Prison have set off for the Netherworld Royal Court in the Black Abyss."

Zhuge Waner's voice was calm, yet it was like a stone thrown into a still lake, instantly drawing everyone's gaze in the command center to her.

"King of Zhennan? Little girl Zhuge, are you sure? Weren't those two old geezers crippled?"

"Guess!"

A hint of cunning flashed in Zhuge Waner's eyes, and the smile on her lips deepened a few degrees.

At these words, Qin Zhan was stunned for a moment.

Then he laughed, slapping the table, tears almost coming out.

"Damn it, they really are two old schemers, even I was fooled."

The tense atmosphere in the command room dissipated instantly.

Zhuge Waner slowly rose, her phoenix eyes brimming with killing intent.

"In this battle, whether the Netherworld Royal Court participated or not, we must kill a chicken to scare the monkeys!"

"Good! That's more like it! The various races in the other passages are already stirring. We must strike fear into these bastards!"

Just as everyone was excited, Xu Wenyuan suddenly stood up, his face full of shock.

"Chief Commander Zhuge, have you mobilized other forces?"

"Linyuan City has been liberated?!"
