128: Chapter 128, Day Ten: Reinforcements Arrive!

Ten thousand meters underground, the three factions launched their encirclement once more.

Because they were traveling underground, they couldn't look out for one another; several Divine Sea Realm Ability Users on the edges were snatched away just like that.

"Dammit!"

The leader clenched his fists; his mistake had led them outside the city walls, causing the deaths of so many people.

He felt guilty, but he didn't dare show any weakness now, for he still had to lead the remaining teammates to safety.

After traveling tens of thousands of meters, they finally burst through the soil and returned to the surface.

"There!"

At the same time, the combined forces of the three factions had caught up.

"Wind!" the leader shouted.

Boom!

In the next instant, gusts of hurricanes rose, and massive tornadoes covered the sky and earth.

Lin Zhengfeng gathered the power of the entire army's battle formation to create a massive wind field, enveloping his teammates and interfering with the enemy's vision and perception.

"Amateurish!"

Within the Demon Alliance, Xuanniao, who excelled in wind, snorted coldly. With a flap of her wings, she forcibly pushed aside several tornadoes.

However, they were stunned when they saw the scene before them.

The Esper Alliance's army had long since been carried away by the gale, escaping into the distance, leaving only Lin Zhengfeng bleeding on the spot.

He wasn't injured by an attack but was suffering from overexertion; he had exhausted nearly all his power to send his teammates away, leaving himself unable to move.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... You really are one to sacrifice your life for righteousness..." a person from the Evil Path said eerily.

"Heh... Unlike you Evil Path scum, who are ungrateful and have no conscience!" Lin Zhengfeng grinned.

"Still talking tough at death's door? Kill him!" a member of the Demon Race barked.

Lin Zhengfeng sneered and suddenly stood up again, his body enveloped in layers of whirlwinds.

"Wasn't he out of power? What's going on?"

"He's burning his Origin; he's going to fight us to the death!"

"Then destroy him. He's just a dying maggot struggling pointlessly; does he really think he can take us down with him?"

Bang!

Unsurprisingly, the three factions attacked together, and Lin Zhengfeng perished under the massive energy storm.

This was death in the truest sense, no longer like the Virtual World where one could start over after dying.

Sacrificing oneself to save everyone has been the mark of a hero throughout the ages.

"Rest in peace, brother," Chen Xing said, casting a deep look.

"The numbers are ultimately a fatal flaw. Although individual quality is high, no one has reached a level that can bridge the gap unless an A-class enters the fray," Su He sighed.

"Dammit, we're just standing here watching our comrades get killed." Qin Feng felt indignant but powerless.

Chen Xing remained silent. He remembered his teacher's words, knew the truth, and understood that sense of despair.

Thus, it was better not to speak, lest it shake the army's morale.

"Train again!"

Chen Xing closed his eyes, entered the Enlightenment Space, and challenged the Main God once more, only to be killed and then challenge it again.

"I must break through!" Qin Feng clenched his fists.

...

Secret Realm.

Having barely escaped, the Esper Alliance quickly adjusted their state and fled into the distance.

Now, there was no time for grief; they could only continue to wait for the reinforcements arriving in a few days.

As they fled, they unexpectedly encountered the corpses of their comrades along the way.

This surprised them; given the nature of those enemies, anyone who fell into their hands should have been left with nothing, not even bones. What was going on?

However, when they saw clearly, they became furious.

These corpses had been stripped bare and were deliberately placed there to humiliate them.

"Beasts!" The leader could no longer restrain himself and punched a boulder in rage.

"Wait... just a few more days..." He realized he had lost his composure and began to soothe the others.

"Not good, they're chasing us!" the Scouting Team in the sky transmitted.

"Go, keep fleeing!" the leader ordered.

...

In the time that followed, they lived in fear, fleeing everywhere as their comrades decreased one by one.

If they weren't strong enough, they would have been wiped out long ago at a normal level.

The Esper Alliance watched this scene in silence, unable to find words.

A few days later, several hundred thousand had dwindled to only a hundred thousand. How tragic.

Although the three factions had also paid a heavy price, their numbers remained around two hundred thousand, still holding the upper hand.

"If you can't hack it, go home and farm. Don't you humans love farming?" a Yao Race Genius sneered from the opposite side.

"Better not. The meat of those who farm is usually tough and doesn't taste good," a Demon Race youth said with a laugh.

"This kind is better; the scent of despair on them is the most fragrant," an Evil Path human laughed.

"What are you so arrogant about? If you have the guts, don't leave after we go down!" someone couldn't help but say.

"Sure, just don't run when you can't beat me!" the Divine Sea Realm Evil Path cultivator replied.

"If I run, I'm your grandson! Even if I have to self-detonate, I'll take you down with me!" The speaker was Lu Xuan.

"You're not strong enough, don't push yourself. Let me handle it when the time comes," Lu Wu whispered.

"None of your business," Lu Xuan glared at him.

"Shut up. Once we go down, you must follow the leader's commands," Lu Qingnian spoke, and the two brothers instantly fell silent.

The Esper Alliance remained silent. Most of them were cultivating while watching the battle, seizing every moment.

The Main God had given them an opportunity, and there were supplies on the warship for their cultivation; they wanted most to break through at this moment and then take the field to kill the enemy.

...

The tenth day finally arrived.

Both sides deployed A-class powerhouses, launching a new round of confrontation.

The numbers of the Demon Alliance, Demon Race, and Evil Path were naturally the highest; they immediately split their forces to hunt people down everywhere.

In a mountain range, half of which had been blasted to ashes, the main force of the Esper Alliance was besieged.

Before them was a large mixed army of the three factions, led by several top-tier A-Rank Espers.

"Spread the word and bring them here," Hu Ang, an A-class Genius of the Demon Alliance, said.

"My lord, why spread the word?" a minor demon asked, puzzled.

"Attracting them here to wipe them all out at once is the easiest way," Hu Ang glanced at him.

"My lord, this..."

"No matter. I've already notified the other Great Demons, and they're on their way. If the Esper Alliance's reinforcements dare to come, I'll make sure they never return!"

"Understood. You truly have great spirit, my lord. I'll get right on it!" Seeing this, the minor demon flew off.

"Hold on, the reinforcements are about to arrive!"

In the distance, the leader of the B-class Espers spoke to boost morale.

Hu Ang and several A-class individuals sat on a boulder in the rear, enjoying the sight of their struggle with a playful attitude.

Crack!

In the next second, an anomaly occurred.

The temperature suddenly dropped, and a wave of cold swept in, freezing mountains and rivers in the blink of an eye.

Hu Ang and the others changed their expressions; a master beyond their expectations had arrived!

Bang!

Then, the aura of the battle formation shifted, and everyone's power converged into a single person.

The ice exploded, the blast stretching for hundreds of miles, quickly tearing through the army and causing countless casualties!

"Who is it?!" Hu Ang roared in anger.

Standing in the distance was a silver-haired woman wearing a gray battle robe, with a skull necklace hanging from her neck, fluttering in the wind.

Tianhe Academy's strongest freshman of the previous year—Mu Shiyu.
