217: Wiping out the Hack tribe in 59 seconds

Following Tie Shengnan's clear, powerful voice, the two hundred Fire Element Trial Takers at the front line of the Forbidden City Legion simultaneously let out a sharp cry.

The sky above the arena, which had been gray, suddenly turned scarlet, and countless deep-red Karma Fire-burning lava condensed out of thin air.

“Fall!”

The two hundred Fire Element Trial Takers shouted in unison.

Boom!

A deafening sound, as if the sky and earth were collapsing, instantly drowned out the roars of the Hak Clan warriors.

“Ranged~ Attack! Water Element users, heal...” The Hak Clan commander rushing at the very front issued his orders the instant Forbidden City made its move.

The Hak Clan entering Forbidden City's attack range simultaneously meant that Forbidden City had entered the Hak Clan's attack range.

Countless bolts of lightning and fire rain appeared simultaneously over Forbidden City's position.

“Water Element users...”

As Tie Shengnan's voice trailed off, more than two hundred beams of blue light immediately shone forth from the Forbidden City camp.

On the other side, the sky-obscuring lava fireballs, like a meteor shower of the apocalypse, crashed with devastating precision into the dense charging formation of the Hak Clan!

There were no screams, or rather, the screams were instantly swallowed by the even more violent sounds of explosion and burning the moment they arose.

The area covered by Karma Fire Burns the City was like a purgatory furnace.

The entire process was breathtakingly fast. From the moment the lava Karma Fire fell until the Hak Clan was completely annihilated, only... less than ten seconds passed!

In contrast, on the Forbidden City Legion's side, thanks to the Holy Artifact Life Link, the HP bars of the 200 Fire Element users standing at the front remained completely unaffected.

The air was filled with the strong smell of sulfur and scorching, accompanied by a deathly silence.

The cold system notification sound rang out in the silent arena, breaking the momentary tranquility.

[Ding! Forbidden City Guild VS Barbarian Bone Guild, Forbidden City Guild wins! Time taken: 59 seconds. Forbidden City Guild points +2.]

At the same time, in the live broadcast room, the bullet screen comments, which had been scrolling wildly at hundreds of millions per second, seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand the moment the Hak Clan was wiped out, plunging into a blank silence that lasted for several seconds!

The minds of the 1.7 billion viewers, whether they belonged to the Huaxia Clan or the Hak Clan, had all crashed in that second.

Only when the system notification sounded did the bullet screen comments erupt like a breached dam! But the content had completely changed:

Hak Clan:

"??????????????????????"

"Wha... what happened? Where are they? Where are our people?! Did the opponent cheat! How could they be instantly wiped out!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Cheating! The opponent must have cheated!"

"Are they still a Low Martial Race Group? What kind of existence is the opponent?"

Huaxia Clan:

"Holy cow! That's brutal!! That was an instant kill!"

"The sage truly did not deceive us! Never provoke a villain or a woman!"

"Insta... instant kill! Hahahaha! You Hak Clan whelps on the other side? Why aren't you barking anymore? Keep shouting!"

"Hak Clan whelps! Did you see it?! Why are the flowers so red?!!"

"Who just said it was a father beating his son? This is a damn nuclear bomb hitting primitives! Too brutal! So satisfying!!"

"God Huang is mighty! President Tie is mighty! Forbidden City is invincible! The Dragon Rider Army didn't even move!!"

"Who recorded that? I'll Venmo you 200, send me a copy... that was truly amazing!"

...The recording of the Forbidden City Legion's battle, where they annihilated the opponent in just one round of area attack lasting nine seconds, was now spreading rapidly among the high-level figures across Star Abyss as the match concluded.

After all, for a qualified leader, sending out scouts to understand the strength of other race groups was a perfectly normal operation.

Inside the Cili Clan's outpost conference hall.

Duanmu Yang watched the video in silence for a long time, only lightly tapping the desktop with his finger. After a moment, he looked up at the two sides of the conference table and asked, "What do you think of Battle Video No. 10000?"

As soon as Duanmu Yang finished speaking, the entire conference hall erupted in noisy discussion.

The middle-aged man sitting below Duanmu Yang replied with a solemn expression, "Reporting, Clan Leader, judging by the attack power, this Forbidden City Guild's attack power is already close to that of a High Martial Race Group; otherwise, it would be impossible to instantly kill the opponent in one round. And judging by the equipment, they are all wearing Level 50 Diamond Sets, which are two grades higher than our warriors' equipment."

As soon as the middle-aged man finished, the person opposite him immediately took over and said, "We believe we could achieve this effect against a Low Martial Race Group, but both sides here are Low Martial Race Groups. The fact that they can reach this level now is truly baffling to me."

...Duanmu Yang sat in the highest seat, quietly listening to the discussion until the noise gradually subsided. He then slowly said, "If I recall correctly, this Forbidden City Guild should be the first guild established in Star Abyss this session, belonging to the Huaxia Clan... Their president is named Huang Chen, and he has topped the rankings several times!

I received intelligence that the Huaxia Clan has already aligned with the Vermilion Bird Clan. We likely won't have the opportunity to become an Auxiliary Race Group for the Huaxia Clan."

"Then what is your meaning, Clan Leader?" the middle-aged man asked, frowning.

"The situation has changed. We cannot wait until the Great Map Fusion to choose which race group to support, or else no race group will be a match for Huaxia by then." Duanmu Yang's expression shifted drastically. After a moment, he sighed, suddenly stood up, and shouted, "Duanmu Shaoshen!"

"Present!" Hearing Duanmu Yang's command, the middle-aged man immediately stood up and cupped his fist.

"You are to immediately begin investigating the five Low Martial Race Groups in our region, and select an Auxiliary Race Group before the Guild Challenge ends."

"Cla... Clan Leader! Do we have to select an Auxiliary Race Group now?" Duanmu Shaoshen asked uncertainly.

Selecting an Auxiliary Race Group is crucial. These top-tier High Martial Race Groups usually wait until after the Great Map Fusion to make their choice based on the potential shown by the Low Martial Race Groups.

Currently, they only have five Low Martial Race Groups to choose from. Is the Clan Leader's decision too hasty?

"No! If we don't start now, there will be no opportunity after the fusion." Duanmu Yang stated firmly, "The Vermilion Bird Clan is also one of the top High Martial Race Groups. They have gained an advantage now. Ten years from now, the Huaxia Clan's development will inevitably be vastly different from these Low Martial Race Groups."

"Clan..." Duanmu Shaoshen opened his mouth as if to say something more, but was immediately stopped by Duanmu Yang.

"Go and handle it immediately!" Duanmu Yang waved his hand, signaling the end of the meeting, and then sat heavily back into his chair.

His expression was deeply melancholic, and his hands were tightly clenched.

For trillions of years, my Cili Clan has continuously helped Low Martial Race Groups achieve first place for ten thousand sessions.

Are we going to be preempted by the Vermilion Bird Clan this session?

Just like the Cili Clan, all the High Martial Race Groups currently had their attention firmly fixed on the Huaxia Clan.

And the most distressed were undoubtedly the four High Martial Race Groups of 49101.

They had already completely sided against Huaxia.

With the Vermilion Bird Clan assisting Huaxia, the remaining four Low Martial Race Groups would be lucky if they weren't wiped out during this period.

Therefore, they had no choice now, and they couldn't choose anyway!

Hao Tianyang stared blankly at the Star Abyss sky, his face full of regret.

During this period, even without the Vermilion Bird Clan joining, Huaxia, relying solely on the power of the Forbidden City Guild, had already somewhat suppressed their Twenty Clans.

They heard that Huang Chen of the Huaxia Clan was an animal who thought with his lower body.

If... they had fostered good relations with the Huaxia Clan back then and sent out their clan's Saintess, perhaps there would have been a slight chance to contend with the Vermilion Bird Clan?
