Leon finally let out an angry roar.
He rapidly increased the distance, his entire spiritual energy madly injected into the blood-red longsword, causing it to emit a brilliant light for a time.
Following that, Leon charged with all his might, the sword changing forms as it sliced through the sky.
"Heh, resorting to your ultimate move so soon?"
"Fine, I'll see this through to the end!"
Feeling the sword's violent aura, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, also swinging the Death Scythe in his hand, unleashing a direct "Zhan Xiang Si" strike.
"Scum, I'll take your life!"
Just as Ye Cangtian and Leon unleashed their full power, and everyone watched with bated breath for the outcome of their fierce battle, a furious roar echoed.
From within the crowd, Grizzly's figure had vanished without anyone noticing. He reappeared behind Ye Cangtian, bringing his sword down viciously.
From Leon's actions, Grizzly had already discerned that Ye Cangtian was extremely difficult to deal with.
Therefore, he had specifically sought an opportunity, intending to slay Ye Cangtian. With both sides going all out, this was the perfect moment for his sneak attack.
"Be careful!"
It was only when Grizzly made his move that the Huaxia contingent realized the danger. However, it was already too late to intervene.
Hmph!
At this very moment, Ye Cangtian suddenly let out a cold snort. An invisible celestial eye instantly opened between his brows.
As the celestial eye opened, both Grizzly and Leon, who had been projecting immense power moments before, instantly displayed expressions of extreme agony, losing control of their bodies.
It was the Soul Shock.
And in that instant, Ye Cangtian abandoned his attack, sidestepping to evade the pincer attack from both sides.
*Puff! Puff!*
In the next moment, their bodies, devoid of control, completed their attacks purely by inertia.
Leon's longsword pierced Grizzly's heart with ease, while Grizzly's longsword severed Leon's arm.
*Bang!*
As Grizzly fell to the ground and died, Leon recovered from the Soul Shock. When he saw Grizzly lying at the tip of his own sword, he was utterly stunned.
The sensation was as if he had become a puppet controlled by Ye Cangtian's strings, manipulated by the opponent, which truly instilled fear in him.
On the other side, everyone was dumbfounded.
Moments ago, Ye Cangtian was in a situation where death was inevitable!
How could it be that in the blink of an eye, Ye Cangtian not only resolved the crisis but also completely reversed the situation? It was simply unbelievable!
Such strength was too terrifying.
For a moment, the eyes of the Light Squad were filled with dread.
"Leon, I think there's no need for the competition to continue. You have no chance of winning anymore."
"According to the bet, you can surrender now!"
Ye Cangtian's gaze swept over the stunned Leon as he slowly spoke. With the loss of an arm, there was no point in continuing the fight.
Hmm?
Hearing this voice, Leon snapped back to reality, a fierce glint reappearing in his eyes. He said, "The Silver Armored Knights only die in battle, never surrender! All listen to my command, charge with all your might, no matter the cost!"
Kill!
As Leon's order was issued, all members of the Hall of Light, despite the lingering fear in their eyes, let out earth-shattering roars.
In an instant, they charged forward without regard for their lives.
As members of the Silver Armored Knights of the Hall of Light, they had only one creed in their minds: obedience to command.
Regardless of the situation, no matter how terrifying, as long as the order was given, they would charge forward even if it meant certain death.
This was also one of the reasons they were known as one of the three great knight orders of the Hall of Light.
"Hmph!"
On the other side, seeing the men from the Hall of Light charging, Ye Cangtian's expression turned grim, and he let out a cold snort.
Initially, seeing the fear in their eyes, he thought a little intimidation would be enough to make them surrender, thus reducing casualties.
However, he hadn't expected them to continue their charge.
In the next moment, Ye Cangtian's face turned cold, and he shouted, "Yang Chen!"
"Here!"
As Ye Cangtian's voice fell, Yang Chen flashed to his side.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian did not hesitate and immediately activated the Soul Shock.
*Buzz!*
In just an instant, most of the Silver Armored Knights froze in place.
Especially the Cardinal Archbishops, they felt their heads spin, completely unable to control their bodies!
And at this moment, Yang Chen also took action.
This was not his first time cooperating with Ye Cangtian. Seeing all the Cardinal Archbishops stop, his dual axes instantly flew out.
On the other side, Lan Yue and Bai Zhenshan, leading the others from the Huaxia forces, were flanking the Light Squad from both front and rear.
Screams of agony filled the air endlessly, and the bloody battlefield dyed the earth red.
"This..."
Leon watched as his brothers fell one by one into the pools of blood, his eyes instantly turning red.
Especially the Cardinal Archbishops, they were all elites of the Silver Armored Knights! They were comrades who had accompanied him through countless life-and-death battles!
"Ah! Ye Cangtian, I'll fight you to the death!"
Finally, Leon let out another roar, charging at Ye Cangtian recklessly.
He knew very well that if such bizarre soul attacks were not dealt with promptly, no one from the Hall of Light could escape alive.
Hmph!
Feeling Leon charging at him, Ye Cangtian let out a cold snort, and the Death Scythe was immediately swung.
In the next moment, the Death Scythe completely shattered Leon's blood-colored armor and pierced his chest.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian slowly approached, glancing disdainfully at Leon, and said coldly, "As an invader, you should be prepared to be killed!"
"You! You..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words and looking at his cold gaze, Leon found it very familiar, almost identical to Po Xiao.
However, at this moment, his life was extinguished, and his life had reached its end, leaving him no ability to confirm anything...
With Leon's death, the morale of the soldiers of the Light Knights was greatly reduced. Before long, they were all dealt with by the combined forces of the Huaxia faction.
While clearing the battlefield, Ye Cangtian and Bai Zhenshan returned to the command tent.
"Hahaha, exhilarating, truly exhilarating!"
"It's so much easier fighting with you around, kid!"
As soon as they returned to the command tent, Bai Zhenshan burst into laughter.
Earlier, when the Light Squad launched their desperate attack, Bai Zhenshan felt a sense of helplessness. With their desperate counterattack, who knew how many soldiers would be lost.
But by the end of the battle, he realized.
Most of the people lying on the ground were from the Light Squad, while the casualties from the Hidden Group were very few, which could be called a great victory.
All of this was inseparable from Ye Cangtian and Yang Chen.
If the two of them hadn't first killed the Cardinal Archbishops and then Leon, thus leaving the opposing side without strong fighters and with low morale, achieving such results would have been impossible.
On the other side, listening to Bai Zhenshan's words, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Seeing this, Bai Zhenshan said, "Kid, why don't you stay? With you here, I believe this place will be as solid as a fortress!"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian shook his head helplessly and said, "Senior, I'm sorry, I'm afraid that's not possible. I still have my own matters to attend to..."
Before coming here, Ye Cangtian had heard about the Hall of Light's Dragon Slaying Operation. Now that two days had been delayed, he didn't know the situation in the capital and was feeling particularly anxious.
Therefore, he decided it was best to leave as soon as possible.
Bai Zhenshan could only nod helplessly. He naturally understood that Ye Cangtian not only had to guard the Huaxia ruins but also the capital; the burden was indeed too heavy.
In the next moment, he said, "Alright, old man won't force you to stay. But you must stay tonight. As the biggest contributor to this battle, you must participate in the celebration banquet."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian frowned, his mind rapidly calculating.
Even if a helicopter were to be called now, it would still take some time to arrive, so he nodded and agreed.
In the next moment, after the battlefield was cleared, bonfires were lit in the camp, whole lambs were roasted, and all the brothers celebrated happily.
This situation continued until late into the night.
As the bonfire feast was nearing its end, Ye Cangtian's phone rang again.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Viper's number. He found a quiet place and answered the call.
"Boss, the Hall of Light has sent out more messages, and I've managed to decipher them."
"Their so-called Dragon Slaying Plan is actually aimed at you."
"The primary method is to target your wife, causing you mental breakdown, and then take the opportunity to kill you..."
