320: Cut off one arm and kneel down to apologize

"Who is it? When did a Lord of this level appear in H City?" Zhou Ye's red hair moved without wind, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Cheng Tian didn't speak, but his hand was already gripping his Sword hilt tightly.

"Let's go! Let's take a look!"

The three of them no longer hesitated and set off immediately.

A silver high-tech hoverboard appeared under Qin Hao's feet, carrying him like a streak of light.

Zhou Ye, on the other hand, burst into a ball of flames, and he shot up into the sky like a cannonball.

Cheng Tian was the most elegant; he pointed his fingers like a Sword, and the long Sword under his feet let out a clear Sword cry, transforming into a white Sword Rainbow that broke through the air and sped away.

Three streaks of light cut across the sky at an extremely fast speed, and a few minutes later, they arrived at the standoff.

When they personally felt the terrifying pressure converged by the three hundred and twenty Hellfire Balrogs, their expressions were even uglier than what they had seen on the screen.

"Such a strong sense of oppression..." The flames on Zhou Ye's body flickered; he felt his Explosive Fire Element.

In front of this superior Hellfire, he actually felt a sense of suppression.

The data on Qin Hao's goggles scrolled wildly, finally leading to a conclusion that made his heart sink: "Energy reaction... each one is stably above the Early Stage of the second tier! These are not ordinary summoned creatures!"

A cold sweat seeped from Cheng Tian's palm.

He prided himself on his unparalleled swordsmanship, but facing such an army of demons that feared no death, he also felt his scalp tingle.

Even if he could kill one with a single Sword, with over three hundred... a war of attrition would exhaust him to death!

"You rat who hides his head and shows his tail! Get out here!"

Zhou Ye suppressed the shock in his heart and roared at the empty space in front of him, "You have the ability to summon demons, but not the ability to show yourself?"

"I am Zhou Ye from W City, who dares to fight me!"

His voice echoed throughout the entire area, full of provocation.

However, what responded to him was not the appearance of a person.

Instead, a cold, emotionless voice rang out in everyone's minds.

"Any treasures, resources, including the lake island, that appear in the Holy Land are not yours either."

"And my people, you have no right to harass."

"I give you ten minutes. Get out of the lake island, then cut off one of your arms, and go kneel and apologize in front of the territories of my three allies."

"Once the time is up, you will bear the consequences."

This voice was precisely Mo Yan's, transmitted through the Soul link with the Balrogs.

He didn't even bother to show his face.

The moment the voice fell.

Boom!

The three hundred and twenty Hellfire Balrogs, in perfect unison, slammed their right hands with burning claws onto the ground!

With a loud bang, the earth cracked.

A giant number "10:00" made of flames appeared out of thin air above the Balrog army and began to slowly tick.

09:59.

09:58.

The death countdown began.

Qin Hao, Zhou Ye, and Cheng Tian's faces instantly turned ashen.

This was blatant humiliation!

To issue an ultimatum without even showing their face?

And to make them cut off an arm to apologize to Xie Yufeng and those they considered "trash"?

This was more unbearable than being directly killed!

Around them, the other Lords who had rushed over upon hearing the news watched from afar, each as silent as a cicada in winter.

The flame countdown suspended in mid-air, with every tick, made the atmosphere on site more oppressive.

Qin Hao, Zhou Ye, and Cheng Tian's faces were grim.

Their pride, their self-respect, were trampled underfoot and crushed into dust by the opponent at this moment.

Cut off an arm?

Apologize?

Get out?

They were the top Geniuses of Dragon Country, the future of their respective Families and forces; when had they ever suffered such a great humiliation!

"This is too much!" Zhou Ye finally couldn't hold back; his red hair danced wildly, and the flames on his body surged, distorting the surrounding air.

"You scoundrel playing tricks! I want to see if your summoned creatures can withstand my Explosive Heavenly Star!"

He raised his hands high, and a dark red fireball, the size of a basketball, with unstable electric light flickering inside, rapidly condensed in his palm.

The terrifying high temperature emitted by the fireball made the surrounding Lords retreat in horror.

This was Zhou Ye's signature skill!

"Zhou Ye, don't be impulsive!" Qin Hao quickly shouted; his rationality told him that since the other party dared to do this, they must have something to rely on, and this demon army was definitely not to be trifled with.

However, Zhou Ye, whose head was clouded by anger, couldn't listen to any advice.

"Die for me!"

He roared, and the Explosive Heavenly Star in his hand transformed into a meteor, trailing a long fiery tail, rushing towards the Hellfire Balrog army!

This strike was enough to flatten a small hilltop!

Just as the fireball was about to fall.

The three hundred and twenty Hellfire Balrogs, who had been silent all this time.

Collectively raised their heads, their eyes burning with Hellfire, simultaneously locking onto the Explosive Heavenly Star in mid-air.

Then, they opened their mouths in unison.

Buzz—

Three hundred and twenty thick dark red flame pillars spewed from their mouths, meeting the falling Explosive Heavenly Star!

Zhou Ye's S-rank skill, capable of flattening a mountain, was swallowed by the even more overbearing Hellfire the moment it touched the flame pillars, vanishing into nothingness.

"Pfft—!"

His skill broken, Zhou Ye was hit hard and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"This... how is this possible?!"

However, this was just the beginning.

The destructive torrent that had swallowed the Explosive Heavenly Star did not diminish in power and moved even faster.

Like an enraged Fire Dragon, it crossed hundreds of meters in an instant, directly engulfing Zhou Ye in mid-air!

"Ah ah ah ah—!"

A shrill scream echoed through the sky!

The Hellfire frantically burned his body; it wasn't ordinary flame, but more like a persistent disease, burning his flesh while also eroding his Soul!

In just two seconds.

The screams abruptly stopped.

A charred figure, smoking black, fell from the sky, hitting the ground with a "bang," its fate unknown.

Instant kill!

A dignified Explosive Mage with S-rank talent was instantly killed without even lasting a single round!

The entire scene was dead silent.

Everyone was stunned by this brutal sight.

The data stream on Qin Hao's goggles instantly turned into a chaotic red alert, and a piercing mechanical voice shrieked in his mind:

"Warning, target life... energy reaction difference... unable to calculate!"

He felt his brain was about to be overwhelmed by this incomprehensible data.

And Cheng Tian on the other side.

His Sword-wielding hand trembled uncontrollably.

His Sword was telling him.

He would die!

Before they could recover from their shock.

"Roar!"

The Hellfire Balrog army let out a roar.

Looking at the two remaining standing people.

Half of the Balrogs charged towards Qin Hao.

The other half, with astonishing speed, pounced on Cheng Tian.

"Not good!" Qin Hao's face changed drastically; the hoverboard under his feet immediately burst with powerful propulsion, trying to create distance.

At the same time, he waved his hand, and dozens of futuristic-looking drones appeared out of thin air, laser beams and miniature missiles raining down on the charging Balrog army.

The miniature missiles exploded on the foremost Balrog, creating a dazzling flash of fire, but they couldn't even make its massive body sway!

The lava armor only dimmed for an instant at the center of the explosion, then immediately re-illuminated with a dark red glow, completely unharmed!

And the Balrog's charging speed was much faster than he had imagined!

In just one breath, several Balrogs in the front row had already rushed in front of him.

Claws burning with Hellfire, with a roar that tore through the air, struck down from above!

On the other side, Cheng Tian's situation was equally dire.

He drew his long Sword at the first opportunity, and the Sword light, like a bolt of silk, unleashed a dozen fierce Sword Qi.

Each Sword Qi struck the neck of a Balrog.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing was incessant.

His Sword Qi had no effect whatsoever!
