Just as everyone despaired and closed their eyes, a cavalry appeared before them as if descending from the heavens. The warhorses beneath them seemed special.
This was because the warhorses they rode emitted a peculiar color, a special radiance that froze all the demonic beasts in place.
It felt as if, at the moment of their impending death, a divine cavalry descended from the sky and vanquished all their enemies.
They didn't know how to describe their inner shock, but they knew they had to react. Otherwise, the cavalry outside alone might not be enough to save them.
Then, someone shouted:
"Look! The ones who will save us are here! Everyone, rally and defeat all these creatures before us!"
Such a call would normally be ineffective, but in the face of Ye Ningze and his men appearing like divine soldiers, the people around them began to unleash their formidable combat power.
"Damn it, they're just demonic beasts, what's there to fear? Everyone, follow me!"
A burly man with a full beard, dragging a body that was only half intact, charged towards a wolf-like demonic beast.
Originally, the gap in strength between him and the demonic beast was vast, but under his fearless charge, the difference in power was imperceptibly bridged.
Even the demonic beasts seemed bewildered. They never expected that the ants before them would undergo such a drastic transformation in such a short time and unleash such terrifying combat power.
The demonic beasts seemed unable to comprehend what had happened.
Just as Su Xue and her people were slaughtering the demonic beasts, a clear, resonant howl suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth.
This howl immediately jolted the demonic beasts, which had been standing still, back to their senses.
It was evident that the demonic beast flying in the sky was no ordinary creature; it possessed the ability to awaken other demonic beasts.
This also indicated that its mental power far surpassed that of the Rainbow Horses. However, the Rainbow Horses relied on collective mental power.
This meant that the mental power of this one demonic beast was equivalent to the combined mental power of all the Rainbow Horses.
If that were the case, how terrifying would the mental power of this demonic beast be? The mere thought sent shivers down one's spine.
Although the demonic beasts regained their freedom, Su Xue and the others had already retreated to the Sun Base.
A Su family elder, seeing Su Xue return to the Sun Base, was extremely anxious. He rushed to Su Xue and said:
"Su Xue, you shouldn't have come back. The Sun Base can no longer be defended. You should lead the Su family to find a new place to live and prosper."
Su Xue recognized the person before her. He was an elder of the Su family named Su Lie.
His temperament was as fierce as his name, but he was extremely straightforward, never beating around the bush or calculating against anyone.
Because of this, everything he said came from the heart, just as he was speaking now.
He hoped that Su Xue could find a good place to live peacefully and continue the Su family lineage.
Moreover, he believed that if anyone could carry on the Su family, it would be Su Xue. But now, her presence here meant that the Su family's last hope would also be utterly lost.
Su Lie's heart was filled with mixed emotions. If the Su family could not be perpetuated, then all of them would become sinners before the ancestors of the Su family.
Just as Su Lie felt regret for Su Xue, Su Xue smiled and said to Su Lie:
"Elder Su Lie, there's no need to worry. Trust me, I will lead everyone to victory. Even if I can't, I believe someone can lead the entire Taiyuan Base to survive this crisis."
Su Lie thought that everyone before him was unaware of the crisis Taiyuan Base was facing. So, he sighed and said:
"You have just returned and don't know, but I am very aware that this crisis is not as simple as you imagine. It cannot be resolved by one or two people, nor by the people before you. Therefore, you should hurry and find a way to escape."
But Su Xue was full of confidence and said to Su Lie:
"Elder Su Lie, setting aside other matters, we have made thorough preparations for our return. So, there's no need to worry about us, nor about your own future."
After Su Xue finished speaking, the people before them suddenly exclaimed in unison. This was because they saw someone defeat a King-level monster with a single blow.
If a King-level monster could be defeated with a single strike, it meant that this person possessed at least the strength of a Grand Elder, or even surpassed it.
Su Lie was so shocked by this scene that his jaw dropped. He never expected that there was such a master within the Sun Base whom he had never encountered.
This in itself was an incredible feat. They knew the Sun Base like the back of their hands.
Yet, they were unaware of such a master. If they only knew now, it could only mean one thing: this person was not originally in the Sun Base, or this person had encountered an immense opportunity and achieved tremendous improvement.
Either of these answers seemed unbelievable and unacceptable.
After a long pause, Su Lie dazedly asked Su Xue:
"Su Xue, do you know this person?"
Su Xue nodded slowly. Of course, she knew this person. Moreover, it was this person who led her back, and most importantly, this person would lead the Sun Base out of this predicament.
So, Su Xue quickly recounted her and Ye Ningze's experiences to Su Lie. Although Su Lie only heard the general outline, he felt an immense sense of wonder.
After all, for them, no one could easily achieve what Ye Ningze had accomplished, nor could anyone lead their forces to rise like a comet in such a short period.
