90: Chapter 90 No, this is a defensive tower?

What does death feel like?

Chen You didn't know before, but he felt like he was about to find out immediately.

He had exhausted all his means.

The faces of Director Li Guoan, Zhang Yunhai, and others flashed through his mind.

I'm sorry...

Just as Chen You's consciousness was about to sink into darkness.

Clang—!

A distant, ancient bell chime, seemingly originating from an endless source, rang out across heaven and earth without any warning!

This bell sound carried an undeniable majesty, instantly dispelling all the fear and despair in Chen You's heart.

Immediately following, a dense series of system notification sounds, like raindrops, rang wildly in his ears!

[Ding! City Defense Buildings have been constructed!]

[Defense Arrow Tower activated!]

[Frost Sentry Tower activated!]

[Shock Bunker activated!]

[immortals throne activated!]

Inside White Jade Capital, the sixty ordinary defense towers that had been completed instantly lit up with a faint glow and began to operate.

However, everyone's gaze, whether it was Chen You on the battlefield or Director Li and the others in the Command Center, was drawn to the abnormality in the central square of the city!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Twenty dazzling golden pillars of light shot up into the sky from twenty locations in the central square, piercing heaven and earth!

Within the pillars of light, twenty White Jade Thrones of various designs slowly ascended. They were carved with dragons and phoenixes, emitting thousands of auspicious rays, exuding a terrifying and majestic pressure.

On top of the thrones, vague yet majestic phantoms were gradually solidifying from immaterial forms.

Nineteen of these figures were clad in standard silver armor, holding celestial halberds or long spears, their auras sharp and murderous.

But the most eye-catching throne was a full circle larger than the other nineteen, and the figure seated upon it was impossibly burly.

He wore chainmail of golden armor, a Three Peaks Flying Phoenix Cap, and held a three-pointed double-edged halberd. His divine might was imposing, and his aura towered to the heavens!

The most shocking feature was a closed vertical eye right in the center of his forehead.

Even just the outline conveyed a supreme divine power capable of piercing the Three Realms and seeing through all illusions!

"This... this is..."

In the Command Center, Professor Zhang Ping trembled, pointing at the figure on the screen, stammering with excitement, "This... this is..."

Before he could finish speaking, another change occurred on the battlefield!

The phantom of the burly immortal seemed to sense the energy sphere that the Abyssal Green Water Demon King was about to launch.

He had not yet fully materialized, but the vertical eye on his forehead suddenly opened a sliver!

A golden divine light, indescribable in words, shot out!

Buzz—!

The entire world seemed to have been paused.

The wind stopped.

The roaring monsters froze in place, maintaining their charging posture.

The Abyssal Green Water Demon King's energy sphere, capable of destroying heaven and earth, hung suspended in mid-air, its violent energy flow instantly solidified.

Even on the main screen of the Qinling Command Center, all the flickering data and flashing signal lights completely stilled at this moment!

Time was imprisoned!

Within that golden divine light, the figure on the central throne completely solidified.

He did not look at the colossal Demon King, nor did he even pay attention to the tens of thousands of demon hordes.

His eyes, filled with endless majesty and indifference, first swept over the small, blood-soaked, and battered figure below the city wall.

His gaze lingered on Chen You for a moment.

Then, he slowly turned his head to look at the Abyssal Green Water Demon King, which was held stationary.

That look was like a human observing an ant—cold, indifferent, and devoid of any emotion.

A grand, majestic voice, seemingly containing the rules of the Heavenly Dao, resonated in the depths of everyone's soul.

"A mere evil spirit from another realm, how dare you act presumptuously here!"

Before the words faded, the three-pointed double-edged halberd in his hand transformed into a streak of flowing light and shot out!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no world-destroying sound.

That streak of light merely flashed lightly, piercing space, and accurately passed through the Abyssal Green Water Demon King's brow.

Thwack.

A soft sound.

The hundred-meter-tall Abyssal Green Water Demon King's massive body trembled violently.

The violent crimson in its huge single eye rapidly receded, replaced by endless fear and confusion.

The next second, its body began to disintegrate inch by inch starting from its brow, turning into a sky full of dust and dissipating into the still air.

It couldn't even let out a single wail.

Instant kill!

A Level 35 Elite Lord was casually erased just like that!

The three-pointed double-edged halberd, its momentum undiminished, finally struck the ground outside the West Gate of White Jade Capital with a "clang."

Rumble!

Centered on the divine weapon, countless golden lightning bolts crazily spread outwards, instantly forming a massive lightning domain covering a thousand square meters!

The time lock was released at this moment.

"Roar—!"

Behind them, the endless demon army pouring out of the portal charged toward White Jade Capital, completely bewildered.

However, the instant they stepped into that lightning domain.

Crackling!

Countless golden arcs of electricity coiled around them like living things. Those ferocious monsters couldn't even scream before they turned into charcoal in the lightning, then vanished into ash!

One man holding the pass prevents ten thousand from breaking through!

No, this wasn't a pass; this was an insurmountable chasm!

Simultaneously, the other nineteen celestial generals also moved.

They leaped down from their thrones expressionlessly, holding divine weapons, and charged into the remaining horde of monsters like tigers entering a flock of sheep.

It was a slaughter!

Where the celestial halberds swept, swathes of monsters were cut in half.

Where the long spears swung, a large area could be cleared.

Their movements were precise, efficient, and ruthless, like the most efficient killing machines.

In comparison, those sixty defense towers looked like mere toys.

The arrows shot by the Defense Arrow Towers were still in mid-air when their targets were already impaled by a celestial spear.

The Frost Sentry Tower had just condensed a slow-down zone when the celestial soldiers had already slaughtered every monster within the radius.

It was completely... a battle on different dimensions!

In the Command Center, there was a deathly silence.

Everyone's mouths were agape, staring blankly at the one-sided massacre on the screen, their minds completely blank.

After a long while, Director Li finally asked, trembling, "Sun Feng... just now... did the BOSS's health bar clear instantly?"

Sun Feng, the head of the data analysis team, was staring intently at the computer in front of him that had resumed operation.

On the screen, the energy monitoring curve showed a spike that exceeded the coordinate system.

He swallowed hard. "Report, Director Li..."

"The damage caused by that strike just now... I'm afraid it cannot be calculated; the system might not even be able to measure it."

Cannot be measured!

Director Li slowly leaned back in his chair, feeling all the strength drained from his body.

However, soon, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahahaha... Good, an unmeasurable amount! Good!"

On the battlefield, Chen You was gasping for breath.

He looked at the magical scene before him, feeling his worldview had been impacted like never before.

Damn it...

These immortals... are just outrageous!

Even a single celestial soldier could probably declare the end of the battle directly!

Only five hundred gold coins for one?

If you have something like this, there's only one thing to say—

Shut up and take my money!

The battle didn't last long at all.

Under the merciless slaughter of the twenty celestial generals, the remaining demon army was cleared within a short three minutes.

The portal outside the West Gate had also closed.

When the last demon monster turned to dust, the nineteen celestial soldiers transformed into streaks of light and flew back to their respective thrones, reverting to statues.

But the immortal holding the three-pointed double-edged halberd did not move.

He slowly turned around, and those discerning eyes fell upon Chen You once more.

The three-pointed double-edged halberd stuck in the ground emitted a hum and turned into a golden light, flying back into his hand.

The immortal stood quietly holding the divine weapon, looking at Chen You, seemingly waiting for something.

Chen You felt a chill down his spine under his gaze.

What does this big shot want?

Is he here to collect the final payment for being a hired gun?
