133: Chapter 133 Pay-to-win is still the best!
That wasn't a tsunami.
When that pitch-black tide, blotting out the sky, surged to the foot of the White Jade Capital's city walls, everyone realized this fact.
There was no roar of colossal waves crashing against the ramparts, no physical impact of splashing water.
That purely black 'tide,' like a massive black curtain stretched to its absolute limit, silently halted outside the walls, completely enveloping the entire South Gate battlefield.
"Weng--"
An invisible golden ripple spread out, emerging from the ancient and imposing walls of the White Jade Capital, firmly blocking the Abyss Domain outside.
Inside the city, the White Jade Capital remained shrouded in immortal energy.
Outside the city, it had transformed into the Kingdom of the Abyss.
The passionate "March of the Iron Flood" still echoed through the heavens, but its power seemed to be isolated.
On the battlefield enveloped by the black curtain, it could no longer exert any influence on the Merman troops.
"Waga-ga..."
The little mermen, who had been writhing in agony from the music, began to stand up one by one.
Immersed in this pure black domain, they felt no discomfort; instead, it was as if they had returned to their most comfortable homeland.
The wounds inflicted by the long spears were visibly writhing and healing at a visible rate.
Their morale was climbing steadily!
"Something's wrong!" In the Qinling Command Center, Sun Feng's voice was urgent.
"Enemy units are being amplified by the domain! Strength, speed, and recovery capabilities are all improving across the board!"
"Our defending army... is being forced onto the defensive!"
On the large screen, the battle situation changed in an instant.
The momentum of the Black Armored Guards, which had been unstoppable moments ago, was now forcefully suppressed.
The mermen's attacks became more ferocious, and far more bizarre.
"Clang!"
A long spear wielded by a Black Armored soldier was parried by a bone trident.
Immediately after, the Merman warrior's body twisted at an unnatural angle, as if it had no bones, sliding along the shaft of the spear toward the soldier, its sharp claws aiming directly for the soldier's throat!
"Puchi!"
A comrade nearby reacted swiftly, drawing his saber and severing the merman's arm with one strike.
But more mermen surged forward.
What was even more terrifying was that several smaller mermen, halfway through their charge, suddenly became blurry.
Like ink dropped into clear water, they completely vanished from their original spots in a few blinks.
"Stealth units!" Zhang Yunhai roared.
"This is troublesome! This formation of massed charge is most vulnerable to high-agility assassin units breaking through stealth!"
On the battlefield, although the formation of the Black Armored Guards remained intact, their forward momentum had completely stopped.
Under the mermen's desperate counter-attack, the line even began to show signs of contraction.
Casualties were inevitable.
On the city wall, Chen You frowned slightly.
He spotted several blurry shadows using the cover of the darkness domain to slip toward the city gate like phantoms.
They were assassin-type stealth professions.
Trying to raid the base?
A cold smile flickered across Chen You's mind.
He simply pointed lightly toward the chaotic battlefield below with his fingers held together like a sword.
"Go."
Buzz!
A clear, crisp sword chime echoed through the heavens.
The yuhuang sword transformed into a stream of white-gold light and instantly hovered in mid-air just outside the South Gate of the White Jade Capital.
Just as all the stealthy Merman assassins were about to reach the city gate, the hovering yuhuang sword moved.
"Chaotic Stars."
In an instant, centered on the yuhuang sword, endless, brilliant sword energy erupted!
It wasn't streams of sword energy; it was a sheet!
A river of death composed of billions of tiny, sharp, rapidly spinning rays of sword light!
This river of sword energy instantly expanded, forming an absolute defensive circle with a diameter exceeding a hundred meters, firmly protecting the entire South Gate area.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pftch!"
A dense series of sounds of blades piercing flesh rang out.
In the dark domain, seven or eight shadowy figures, which had been perfectly concealed through stealth, couldn't even manage a single scream under the slaughter of the sword energy river.
They were instantly sliced into countless fragments, and foul, bloody viscera splattered everywhere.
The river of sword energy did not dissipate; instead, it remained suspended there like the most loyal guard.
Innumerable sword lights flowed slowly, emitting a heart-palpitating sharpness, sealing off the path to the city gate.
One sword stroke to guard one gate!
"Sigh..." Chen You's tone showed no ripple.
"Did it really have to be this complicated?"
He muttered a complaint inwardly.
However, he didn't intend to take action himself; he decided to use a war soul.
Since he already paid-to-win, how could he not use it?
"Yang Jian is the trump card. Using him against these small fry is too much of a waste."
Chen You thought, bringing up the war soul interface.
His gaze finally rested on another name in the list.
It was a name that also radiated a brilliant golden light, listed alongside "Yang Jian," and its rarity was also SSR!
"War God Kuito," also having reached five stars.
"It's you then."
Chen You unhesitatingly replaced the equipped "Erlang Shen, the True Lord Manifested as Saint - Yang Jian" and clicked "Summon."
"Boom--!!!"
A muffled, thunderous roar erupted, not from the sky, but directly exploding in the depths of everyone's souls!
Above the South Gate of the White Jade Capital, the originally clear sky was torn open by a massive rift without any warning!
Endless volcanic ash and the smell of sulfur poured out from it, as if connecting to some ultimate Purgatory of Destruction.
On the battlefield, which was previously enveloped by the Abyss Tsunami Domain, the damp, salty, cold stench was instantly replaced by a dry, violent, soul-igniting heat!
On the battlefield, both the defending army and the mermen subconsciously stopped their movements, gazing at the sky in horror.
In the Qinling Command Center, all the data analysts went wild.
"Warning! Warning! Unanalyzable, super-standard energy source detected!"
Director Li Guoan stared fixedly at the burning rift on the screen, his heart pounding.
What in the world is this now?!
Deep within that Purgatory Rift, a figure slowly materialized.
He was bare-chested, his bronze skin covered in a layer of dead, ashen paleness, as if it were never-extinguishing cinders.
A ferocious red tattoo extended from his left eye, crossing his entire upper body, full of a primitive and savage beauty.
In his hands, he held two strangely shaped short blades, their surfaces burning with hellfire.
The ends of the handles were connected to two thick chains that coiled around his arms like venomous snakes.
He lacked the awe-inspiring celestial bearing of Yang Jian, nor did he possess the strict sense of order of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
He possessed only one thing.
Purest of the pure--Anger!
It was an endless, raging fire capable of incinerating deities, overturning worlds, and destroying everything!
"Roar..."
A deeply suppressed growl came from the figure's throat.
He stepped out from the Purgatory Rift!
Boom!
He landed just outside the walls of the White Jade Capital, right in the center of that Abyss Tsunami Domain.
The earth cracked!
Starting from his landing spot, a visible shockwave mixed with fire and ash burst outward!
The "Abyss Tsunami" constructed by the Merman leader sacrificing lives was scattered like smoke before this domain of violent, raging fire.
Twisted vengeful spirits turned to ash in the flames!
Grotesque phantom beasts wailed and annihilated in the embers!
In just one second!
The Abyss Domain covering the entire battlefield was completely purified.
No, it was completely covered and swallowed by a domain that was even more violent and unreasonable!
In the air, only the smell of sulfur and burning remained.
"Wha...?"
A Merman warrior, who had been swaggering moments before, looked blankly at the 'monster' radiating an aura of destruction before him, letting out a questioning syllable.
The next moment.
Kuito moved.
He made no superfluous movements, merely flicked his arm.
"Whoosh--!!!"
The two blazing short blades wrapped around his arms, trailing the air-tearing chains, transformed into a whirlwind of death, which he violently flung out!
"Blades of Chaos"!
This was not swordplay, nor a technique; this was merely the purest tool of slaughter!
The two blades burning with divine fire, extended by the chains, formed a massive wheel of death with a radius exceeding fifty meters.
"Puff puff puff puff puff--"
"[-8991!]"
"[-8898!]"
"[-9011!]"
...
Countless red numbers flooded the screen.
There were no screams, only the dense sound of blades cutting flesh.
Where the whirlwind of death passed, whether it was ordinary mermen or those elite stealth units that had just disappeared, they were instantly dismembered, severed, and incinerated into charcoal!
Kuito's expression was blank. He exerted force with his arm again.
The chains retracted, and then were flung out once more!
Whoosh--!
Another wheel of death!
This was not combat at all!
This was a one-sided, emotionless... cleansing from a deity!
The Black Armored Guards had completely stopped their actions. They formed their battle array, staring dumbly at the white figure wantonly slaughtering amidst the masses of enemy troops.
On the city wall, Chen You nodded with satisfaction.
This was the power of Pay-to-Win!
If you have money, you truly can do whatever you want.
