218: Why isn't it dead yet?

The speed of this arrow was extreme, appearing almost like instantaneous movement. By the time Xia Mulin reacted, it was already too late to dodge.

*Bang-pssh—*

The arrow pierced fiercely through the chest of the mecha, sinking deep inside.

A large hole was blasted through the chest of azure hope, and Xia Mulin was sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut.

“Captain!!”

Watching that figure flying backward, many members of the Zhenxiao Combat Squad couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

In the sky, Bai Mengdie, holding the Decree Bow, suddenly felt a tremor in her heart.

Seeing that Outer Realm Heavenly Demons get hit, she wondered why she felt a sudden sense of loss and emptiness.

Bai Mengdie frowned.

This was Outer Realm Heavenly Demons; why would she have such a feeling?

“Could it be... that ‘he’ died at the hands of Outer Realm Heavenly Demons?”

The 'he' Bai Mengdie referred to was none other than her father.

In her memories, she had only her mother by her side since she was a child.

Her father had never come to see her since she was born. Although she was the most dazzling of the younger generation of the Immortal Clan Bai Family in the Kanli Realm, this wasn't what she wanted.

She had always thought her father was away in secluded Cultivate, but it wasn't until she was five years old that she realized something was wrong.

Bai Mengdie had been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, so she noticed that many elders in the Immortal Clan Bai Family deliberately avoided certain topics in front of her.

As she grew older, she asked her mother about the doubts in her heart.

“Mother! I... I want Daddy!”

“I want to see Daddy!”

“Where did Daddy go? Does he not want Xiao Die anymore?”

That day, Bai Mengdie questioned her through tears, but her mother never gave a direct answer. Instead, when she was seven, her mother arranged a trial mission for her, making her leave the Kanli Realm.

After some investigation, she finally discovered that a major event seemed to have occurred in the Kanli Realm a hundred years ago.

Similarly, that event was also related to Outer Realm Heavenly Demons!

Yes, it must be so!

At this thought, Bai Mengdie couldn't help but grit her teeth, her hatred for Outer Realm Heavenly Demons growing even stronger.

“Kill! Slay them all!”

She drew her bow and notched an arrow; the arrows flew like falling stars.

One after another, True Essence Arrow shot out with the sound of breaking air, piercing through the bodies of countless Outer Realm Heavenly Demons and pinning them to the ground.

*Bang, bang, bang—* a series of explosions rang out.

Faced with the power of a Heaven Rank Magical Artifact, those Race and War Robot suffered heavy losses.

At this moment, both sides were stunned.

One must realize there were thousands of Outer Realm Heavenly Demons at this time, each with a Cultivate comparable to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, and many even comparable to the Golden Core stage.

Among this group of Cultivator, there were many True Disciple, but they couldn't do what she did—slaying so many Outer Realm Heavenly Demons with just a single Magical Artifact.

Unless—the bow in her hand was a Heaven Rank Magical Artifact!

“Not good, stop that native being at once!”

Seeing that their battle formation had been broken, a leading Outer Realm Heavenly Demons gave the order, directing the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons to shift their targets and begin besieging Bai Mengdie.

Obeying the command, the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons changed their attack patterns and lunged toward Bai Mengdie in the sky.

“Protect Fellow Daoist Bai!”

Seeing this, the Cultivator of the Nine Sects Allied Army unleashed their Magical Artifact, doing their best to protect Bai Mengdie.

The Outer Realm Heavenly Demons were also exceptionally fierce, showing no fear as they frantically charged at the Nine Sects Allied Army.

*Rumble—*

The two sides soon collided, and in an instant, the sounds of explosions and screams merged into one.

Blood sprayed everywhere; mecha parts, engine oil, and corpses littered the ground... Qin Zixuan performed a technique and gave a soft cry, “Frost Congealment.”

In an instant, blades of frost and ice appeared out of thin air, transforming into countless sharp swords that shot toward the incoming Outer Realm Heavenly Demons.

*Bang, bang, bang—*

The Outer Realm Heavenly Demons were pierced by ice crystals, and subsequently frozen into statues one after another, temporarily losing their combat capability.

“Miss Qin is truly amazing; this humble one is truly impressed!”

While dealing with the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, Zhong Junwu didn't forget to cast an admiring glance at the stunning beauty in the distance.

However, there was also a hint of heat in his gaze.

Yet at that very moment, an Outer Realm Heavenly Demons suddenly rushed forward and lunged straight at him.

“What? Such speed!” Zhong Junwu’s face changed slightly. He hurriedly used the longsword in his hand to perform a sword technique, trying to force the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons back.

But that Outer Realm Heavenly Demons nimbly dodged his attack and took the opportunity to throw a powerful punch at his face.

“Not good.”

With a loud bang, Zhong Junwu was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground in the distance.

“Cough, cough.”

Zhong Junwu was secretly shocked. If it weren't for the life-saving trump card he carried, that strike would have likely left him severely injured.

But before he could stay down for long, the aura of danger struck again.

With a boom, the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons attacked once more.

Zhong Junwu cursed his luck and could only quickly scramble up from the ground to engage the opponent again.

They traded blows back and forth, and in no time, Zhong Junwu was beaten black and blue.

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt as though the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons in front of him had some kind of personal grudge against him... Meanwhile, in a certain deep pit.

Xia Mulin suddenly opened his eyes and then performed a kip-up to stand.

His condition and even his mecha had been restored to like-new. Seeing the state of the battle, he became anxious.

It wasn't that the battle was out of control; although the losses were somewhat high, the situation was still under control thanks to Xia Mulin's prior deployment.

“Ou Shaobao, who told you to take command?”

“Can you even command? You don't have the strength for it.”

Xia Mulin activated his Steel Wings and quickly rushed back to take over command, preventing further losses.

【Frontline Command Headquarters, this is Commander 236. Requesting Anti-Energy Magnetic Field Shield.】

Resources at the rear War Base were already scarce, but seeing that it was indeed Commander 236, they immediately carried out the deployment.

【Please provide coordinates!】

【Deployed!】

Before long, the airdrop arrived in the distance.

“All forces, defend! Urgently deploy the Anti-Energy Magnetic Field Shield and hold your positions!”

“Cease pursuit, tighten the ranks.”

“Dismantle the scrapped War Robot and feed them into the Anti-Energy Magnetic Field Shield.”

With these few orders, the situation returned to normal.

For a moment, the Lapu Galaxy Empire shifted to a defensive state, and the Cultivator found it difficult to break through the defense of the Anti-Energy Magnetic Field Shield.

The threat of the Heaven Rank Magical Artifact in Bai Mengdie's hands also decreased significantly, and it could no longer cause large-scale damage.

“Captain, you’re okay?”

Including Ou Shaobao, the members of the Zhenxiao Combat Squad and the other Race were all astonished.

The strike from the native being just now was clearly a fatal attack.

Even a Rank 4 Energy Mecha Master would have to recuperate for a long time after receiving such a serious injury.

Yet he had completely recovered in just a few short minutes?

This... was simply inconceivable!

In the sky, seeing that azure Outer Realm Heavenly Demons alive and well again, and once more disrupting her strategy, Bai Mengdie's face was full of indignation.

So she drew her bow once more, aimed at Xia Mulin, and released a sharp arrow without hesitation.

With a boom, the arrow's light pierced right through the Anti-Energy Magnetic Field Shield.

The target was aimed straight at that azure Outer Realm Heavenly Demons.

This time, she hit her mark again.

“Captain!”

“Quick, who still has an unused Rebirth Potion?!”

“I don't have any left.”

“I don't have any either! Quick, check the bodies of those fallen Race!”

Inside the Anti-Energy Magnetic Field Shield, the group of Race was thrown into chaos.

However, in the next moment, Xia Mulin leaped up.

“Captain, you’ve stood up.”

Outside the shield, Bai Mengdie was furious and drew her bow to shoot again!

“Captain! You’ve fallen again!”

Xia Mulin rose again.

“Captain has stood up again.”

Another shot, another rise.

Another shot, another rise.

Was Xia Mulin invincible?

Of course he wasn't invincible, but he had a massive amount of replication points. He kept replicating various potions and frantically healing himself.

【Ding, Rebirth Potion replication successful!】

【Ding, Rebirth Potion replication successful!】

【Ding, Soul Potion replication successful!】

【Ding, Soul Potion replication successful!】

Xia Mulin was shot down time and again, only to stand back up abruptly every single time.

The group of Lapu People were all stunned; they had never seen such a miraculous sight.

Bai Mengdie was also dumbfounded. “Why won't it die already?”
