Chapter 479: Chapter 223: Crushing Yan Di, Slaying Gods That Stand in the Way! (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2
Otherwise, this child will surely become a major threat in the future!
"Execute the Extermination Battle Array!"
Yan Di shouted, and immediately above the Earth Star’s thousand-man battle array, an endless force of Qi-Blood crazily converged.
In just the blink of an eye, a blood-red spear condensed.
Buzz~ A terrifying momentum spread out, accompanied by an extreme intent to kill, as if a battlefield of mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared before everyone’s eyes.
"Kill!"
Yan Di raised his hand and pointed, and the blood-red spear pierced through the void, shooting explosively towards Xu Zhou.
"Boom!"
Wherever the blood-red spear passed, the space swiftly collapsed, revealing hideous and terrifying cracks.
This spear was like the javelin of the Grim Reaper, dispersing clouds wherever it went, unstoppable!
"Tricks of the trade."
Xu Zhou’s expression remained unchanged, he pointed with his hand: "Fall!"
In the next moment, that thousand-meter tall golden giant behind him, wielding a giant axe, chopped down towards the blood spear.
Before the giant axe even fell, the ground below erupted in a roar, splitting into gorges kilometers long.
This golden giant was condensed by Xu Zhou with the strength of the entire army.
At this moment, unleashing a killing blow, even a Sixth-grade Peak Strong People might perish here!
"Kill!"
The golden giant axe smashed towards the blood-red spear.
The world instantly fell into a brief silence.
Then, a surging wave of energy swept across, the surrounding area within a hundred miles collapsed, and all the mountains exploded.
A scene of destruction as if the world was ending!
And in the sky, the two armies were still frantically confronting each other.
Yan Di coldly said, "I have now broken through the peak of the fifth-grade, even with only a few hundred people, I can still defeat you!"
This is the confidence of being in the top hundred of the Yellow Ranking!
The Earth Star Martial Artist is inherently stronger than the Blue Star Martial Artist, not to mention a genius like him. Now that he has broken through the peak of the fifth-grade, his ability to control the battle array has further strengthened, even facing a disparity in numbers, Yan Di is confident in winning this battle!
"Clang clang clang!"
The blood-red spear split into three spears, smashing towards the golden giant axe.
In an instant, the power of the blood-red spear soared!
"Hmph!"
Xu Zhou snorted coldly and shouted: "Break for me!"
In the next moment, the momentum within him fully erupted, transforming into a surging energy that infused into the golden giant.
Instantly, the energy level of the golden giant rose again.
Golden light surged!
Everyone was shocked, did Xu Zhou actually still hold back just now?
Now, as the energy of the golden giant surged, the giant axe instantly erupted with unparalleled terrifying force.
"Ding ding ding!"
"Crack!"
In an instant, cracks appeared at the tips of the three blood-red spears.
Then, these cracks quickly expanded, spreading to the spear shafts, and finally exploded!
"Puff!"
Within the Earth Star Battle Array, Yan Di suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The spear was formed by the will of the entire army, and now that the spear was destroyed, as the commander, he naturally suffered heavy backlash!
The entire Earth Star Battle Array was also subjected to varying degrees of backlash, and their aura quickly fell.
"How is it possible, I’ve actually lost." Yan Di’s face turned pale, somewhat disbelieving.
He is a genius in the top hundred of the Yellow Ranking.
Having just broken through the peak of the fifth-grade, he even had the qualification to enter the top ten of the Yellow Ranking, becoming a peerless sun of the era!
But now, his first battle after exiting seclusion, he actually lost!
"Defeated..."
Yaoji also showed a look of disbelief, a native of Blue Star actually defeated the invincible Yan Di in her heart!
"They just relied on their numbers!"
Jiu Jie stared deathly at Xu Zhou, wishing he could tear him apart.
...
Xu Zhou didn’t care about what the enemy thought, seeing the spear shatter, he immediately shouted: "Kill!"
At the command, the entire 23th Division’s momentum shook.
"Kill!"
Immediately, the entire army roared in unison!
The golden giant swung its giant axe, bursting forth with boundless might, descending upon the Earth Star Battle Array opposite.
At this moment, the Earth Star Battle Array had its military spirit weapon shattered, unable to reconsolidate in a short time, naturally they couldn’t withstand such power.
"Boom!" The battle axe descended, unstoppable!
Puff puff puff!
In the blink of an eye, over a dozen warriors with slightly weaker cultivation spewed blood.
The giant axe slammed down, unstoppable, crushing dozens of Earth Star Martial Artists in mid-air, continuing its descent.
Yaoji exclaimed, "Lord Yan Di, save me!"
However, Yan Di transformed into a stream of light, soaring into the sky.
He is a Yellow Ranking genius, the proud son of heaven, how could he fall here?!
"Lord Yan Di!" Yaoji’s eyes were full of disbelief, and despair.
The Yan Di she admired and adored, actually fled at such a critical moment?
"Boom!"
Yaoji was split in half by the giant axe, along with Jiu Jie and others, their eyes filled with lingering horror and despair.
At this moment, the 23th Division erupted with an unprecedented momentum, killing all who stood in their way!
The commander of the Earth Star Battle Array fled in defeat, the army’s morale completely collapsed, leaving them only a dead end!
Puff puff puff...
Above Jiuxuan Ridge, the sound of bodies being shattered continuously echoed, blood staining the sky.
...
A few breaths later, the Earth Star camp at Jiuxuan Ridge was completely wiped out!
"We won, we won."
"We’ve taken Jiuxuan Ridge!"
All the 23th Division warriors looked at the devastated battlefield, first stunned, then burst into huge cheers.
Everyone was extremely excited, despite their faces being covered in blood and dirt.
But soon, some turned their gaze towards Xu Zhou.
"It was him, he led us to victory."
"Without Xu Zhou, we might have suffered a crushing defeat in this battle!"
The scene gradually quieted down.
Eyes turned to Xu Zhou, filled with reverence and gratitude.
This battle, Yan Di broke through the peak of the fifth-grade, and then Earth Star reinforcements arrived. If not for Xu Zhou, even if they weren’t completely wiped out, they might have suffered a disastrous defeat!
Zhong Qiang flew up, patting Xu Zhou on the shoulder: "Brother Xu, we owe it all to you this time."
His eyes carried shock, gratitude, and also relief.
He was shocked by Xu Zhou’s ability to control the battle array.
He was grateful for Xu Zhou’s turning the tide.
He was relieved that he had believed in Xu Zhou back then!
Xu Zhou smiled and said, "Since I’m here, it’s only right to turn the tide in a headwind."
Zhong Qiang sighed, "I didn’t expect Brother Xu not only to have such foresight in strategy but also such strong control over the battle array! I even suspect that you’ve been on the battlefield several times before."
Beside him, Xia Liyue shook her head and said, "I guarantee, this is Xu Zhou’s first time on a middle-grade battlefield."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Qiang’s eyes became even more astonished, sighing: "This time, Brother Xu saved the lives of our entire 23th Division’s army, we must thank him properly, Vice Commander... why do you have your back to us?"
The Vice Commander turned around, his face full of shame, not daring to face Xu Zhou.
After a moment, he looked at Xu Zhou and said solemnly, "Mr. Xu, I did not recognize your greatness!"
Xu Zhou laughed and said, "No need, Vice Commander. If I saw a stranger wanting to lead the entire army, I might not agree either."
The Vice Commander said, "Mr. Xu’s magnanimity, indeed you have the makings of a Great Commander."
...
The Jiuxuan Ridge battle ended, indicating that in the 23rd warzone, the situation for the Blue Star 23th Division began to turn around.
In the camp, Zhong Qiang gathered the Vice Commander and others to review this battle and plan the upcoming campaigns.
Zhong Qiang said, "Thanks to Brother Xu’s help, we achieved a great victory in the Jiuxuan Ridge battle, annihilating over a thousand enemy troops."
Xu Zhou shook his head and sighed, "Unfortunately, that Yan Di escaped."
Zhong Qiang said, "Yan Di broke through the peak of the fifth-grade, determined to escape, indeed there was no way around it."
This is one of the disadvantages of the battle array.
The attack range of the battle array is at most ten miles.
Beyond this range, the power of the battle array greatly diminishes.
And a battle array formed by thousands usually cannot move quickly, so if a powerful opponent wants to escape, they have no way to stop them.
Unless we send our own strong individual to pursue them.
Xu Zhou pondered, "Next time we encounter Yan Di, if he tries to escape, I will step in and take him down."
Against a fifth-grade peak, even an Earth Star Genius, Xu Zhou is confident he can kill the opponent.
Zhong Qiang does not know Xu Zhou’s thoughts, if he did, he would probably be shocked, because with Yan Di’s current strength, he could make it into the top ten of the Yellow Ranking, and even a mid-sixth-grade strong person may not be able to take him down.
Zhong Qiang said, "Next, our goal is to retake Xiongma Pass!"
Everyone nodded.
Now that we have captured the main battlefield, naturally, the side battlefield Xiongma Pass cannot be overlooked.
And Zhong Qiang’s next words slightly surprised everyone:
"I propose that in the upcoming campaign, Brother Xu continue to temporarily serve as the overall commander of the army!"
