Chapter 534: Chapter 250: Self-Detonating the Golden Core, Slashing the Mortal Enemy! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)
Last time Xu Zhou came to Guang Han, he was still fighting in the Eastern Battle Zone.
Unexpectedly, upon leaving, he was hunted down by a prodigy ranked fifth on the Earth Star’s Xuan Ranking.
In that battle, Xu Zhou nearly exhausted all his trump cards, yet was still almost killed.
It can be said that this was the greatest life-and-death crisis Xu Zhou had ever faced in his life!
At this moment, as Xu Zhou once again faced his mortal enemy, the circumstances of both had completely reversed.
“Oh? Still at the peak of the Sixth Realm?”
Xu Zhou quickly discerned Lan Yu’s realm and couldn’t help but smile.
Several months ago, when Lan Yu was chasing him, he was already at the peak of the Sixth Realm.
At that time, Xu Zhou was merely a third-grade.
And now, months later, the opponent is still at the peak of the Sixth Realm, while Xu Zhou has already ascended to the Sixth Grade!
“Fate is teasing… since we’ve met, I can’t let you go.”
Xu Zhou’s expression calmed, controlling the battle formation to approach rapidly.
Meanwhile.
Lan Yu, leading the 101st legion, was also advancing swiftly.
But he quickly discovered that the 8,000-strong heavy synthetic brigade behind was closing in at an even faster pace.
“If it weren’t for the headquarters’ orders, I would definitely fight to the death with you.”
Lan Yu bore hatred in his heart.
He thoroughly despised the feeling of fleeing.
Being a prodigy ranked in the top five of the Xuan Ranking, his strength was nearly invincible beneath the High Grade.
He was truly a favored child of heaven!
He had always been the one chasing others, and a scene as wretched as this desperate flight almost never occurred before.
“Hmm?”
Just then, Lan Yu suddenly had a change of expression, abruptly turning back to look in the direction of the 23rd brigade.
“Is it him?”
“The kid from months ago has actually become a commander?” Lan Yu saw Xu Zhou and was suddenly stunned.
He naturally had a profound impression of Xu Zhou!
To him, someone as insignificant as a third-grade ant should have been easily suppressed, yet he managed to escape from under his nose.
That incident was regarded by Lan Yu as the greatest humiliation he had ever suffered.
Lan Yu even swore that if he encountered Xu Zhou again, he would decisively kill him with thunderous methods.
It wasn’t just because of shame, but more importantly, he knew that once such a genius grew up, he would undoubtedly become a great trouble for Earth Star!
“This person has already reached the Sixth Grade!?”
Upon realizing Xu Zhou’s realm, Lan Yu was utterly shocked.
To breakthrough from third-grade to sixth-grade in just a few months?
What kind of monstrous talent is this!
This kind of improvement speed could hardly be matched even by the most dazzling prodigies of Earth Star.
Only the geniuses within the Emperor Clans of the Dark Realm could catch up with this speed of improvement.
“I knew it, this kid will become a major threat, I should have killed him back then!”
“Damn it, damn it!”
Lan Yu felt immense hatred in his heart; at this moment, he even regretted not going back to that time, even if it meant facing the pressure of the Seventh-Grade Strong People of Blue Star, to eliminate Xu Zhou!
“Form a defensive battle formation!”
Suddenly, Lan Yu shouted loudly.
Because the battle formation led by Xu Zhou’s 23rd brigade was already approaching, they could not escape!
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
The over 3,000 members of Lan Yu’s 101st legion quickly formed a defensive battle formation, condensing a massive shield at the rear.
“Come on then.”
Lan Yu glared at Xu Zhou behind him, his expression icy as he shouted: “Defeated general who fled like a dying dog before me months ago, I want to see what you are capable of!”
He deliberately amplified his voice, using the language of Blue Star, and this sentence boomed like thunder, allowing all the soldiers of the 23rd brigade to hear it clearly.
Lan Yu did this to obviously shake the morale of the 23rd brigade.
And just as he anticipated, upon hearing this, all the soldiers of the 23rd brigade were taken aback.
“Brother Xu… has such a past?”
Zhong Qiang also looked at Xu Zhou in disbelief.
Zhang Yuandong was even more shocked, having always seen Xu Zhou as immensely powerful, he never thought that he had such a blood feud just months before.
Xu Zhou, however, remained calm, seeing Lan Yu merely as a clown making his last performance before death.
“Form an assault battle formation!”
Xu Zhou calmly ordered.
At his command, the 8,000 heavily armed warriors of the 23rd brigade uniformly formed a formation, appearing like a dark wave, surging as if to pierce the clouds.
In the blink of an eye, a saber hundreds of meters long was condensed out in the sky above the battle formation.
The seemingly not so large saber had an incredibly imposing aura.
The soldier soul weapon formed by the battle formation couldn’t be simply measured by size.
Just like when Xu Zhou previously commanded a 4,000-person battle formation that could form weapons several thousand meters long.
But now, with an 8,000-person formation, only a thousand-meter weapon was formed, seemingly weaker than the former, but actually, the latter condensed energy to its extremity, with an explosion, its power far surpassed the former.
Just as now.
Even before the saber exerted its power, the diffuse pressure had already dissipated the clouds above, forming a vacuum zone thousands of meters wide.
Seeing this, Lan Yu coldly shouted at Xu Zhou: “Defeated general, do you dare to engage in a fair fight with me?”
He knew the odds of 3,000 versus 8,000 were slim.
Especially since the 23rd brigade was a heavy synthetic brigade!
Now he could only provoke Xu Zhou, if Xu Zhou really got stimulated and decided to challenge him one-on-one, then perhaps there was a chance to win the battle!
Upon hearing this, a smile curved at Xu Zhou’s lips: “A fair fight? Sure.”
Hearing this, Lan Yu’s face lit up with a smile.
He took the bait!
But in the next second, Xu Zhou suddenly raised his hand: “Go!”
Boom!
Above the 23rd brigade’s battle formation, the snow-white saber, spanning a thousand meters, shot out like lightning, slicing fiercely towards the direction of the 101st legion.
