Chapter 1068: Chapter 719: Rescue

Within the Inner City, electricity arced violently over Li Changhe’s body in the moment that thunder roared. His figure transformed into a streak of lightning, imperceptible to the naked eye, as he charged towards a certain direction.

Was he going to... attack the golden statue?

The Royal Guards roared as they charged towards the figure engulfed in green flames. From all corners, they launched lethal attacks at the figure.

They felt an extreme sense of crisis emanating from the figure, and every part of their bodies was sending out dangerous warnings.

But they also knew that if they didn’t kill him immediately, something truly terrible would happen.

"We must... we must stop him! Kill him! At all costs!" The Priestess of Summer bellowed as she too plunged into the battlefield. The power of anger coursed through her, and she intended to throw the strongest punch of her entire strength.

The Royal Guards too, howled with rage, surging towards the figure like a swarm of fireflies. They abandoned all defense, determined to stop Li Changhe’s advance at any cost.

Shadows on the ground opened one huge maw after another, as the Tingdaros Hounds bared their sharp teeth.

However, as the Royal Guards roared and threw themselves at the shadows, even as their bodies were ripped and crushed, they angrily drove their weapons into the shadows around them.

Even in death, they used their strength to delay Dog Brother, carving a safe path of charge for more of the Royal Guard behind them.

A blue Flame dragon danced in mid-air, its intense heat scorching all the Royal Guards who came near. Yun Ting manipulated the Ghost Valley Instruments, attacking all approaching enemies.

But even as the Royal Guards’ bodies ignited and their armor melted, they pressed through the flames with raw determination. Enduring the high temperature, they reached within ten meters of Li Changhe.

Facing those Royal Guards with twisted faces who regarded death as a homecoming,

Li Changhe simply lifted his foot and stamped it heavily onto the ground.

In an instant, the ground shook violently and cracked swiftly, splitting open with massive fissures. The nearest buildings also collapsed instantly, and a web of cracks appeared beneath Li Changhe’s feet.

That was... Abyssal Stomping!

The earthquake-like tremors brutally interrupted all the Royal Guards’ charges. The collapsing buildings buried many of the nearby Guards.

Yet some of the Royal Guard still managed to rise from the rubble, throwing a spear at close range towards Li Changhe.

Regrettably, even this Guard’s final hopeful attack missed its mark, as the spear turned at an odd angle when it came within a meter of Li Changhe, and embedded itself heavily into the ground in another direction. The Royal Guard closed her eyes in unwilling acceptance.

Li Changhe was too fast, and even if the Royal Guards sacrificed their lives, they couldn’t delay his advance.

Even after breaking through the shadows and the blue fire dragon, the Royal Guards’ assaults failed to inflict any damage on him.

"Damn it! Damn it! They all had wonderful lives, perfect futures. Yet you ruthlessly killed them! You demon, I will kill you!" The Priestess of Summer roared, witnessing her loyal Guards die senselessly at the hands of Li Changhe.

They were all citizens of the Inner City, the most perfect beings. Beautiful, powerful, intelligent, and loyal, they were supposed to lead the most blissful lives.

And yet, at this moment, these beautiful girls were mercilessly slain by Li Changhe.

Rage filled her entire being, and the Priestess of Summer’s power climbed to its peak.

She leaped from a rooftop, her fist shining with a golden light. She was determined to avenge her compatriots with her strongest punch, channeling over twenty years of her cultivation, along with the blessings from the Divine Country, to kill this man!

Beautiful? Powerful? Perhaps. The citizens of the Inner City might indeed have been the world’s most perfect beings.

They had radiant beauty, long lives, and immense strength.

Unfortunately, in the name of such perfection, how many lives had they stained their hands with?

All of them were accomplices of the Xuan City Queen and beneficiaries in the plan!

Wonderful lives? Ha, a perfect life patched together by sacrificing the lives of those from the Bottom Nest? Go to hell!

And Li Changhe was well-known for treating men and women equally; regardless of gender, if you were an enemy, he would show no mercy! Should he not kill you just because you’re beautiful? What kind of twisted logic is that?

So, when faced with the Priestess of Summer’s accusation, Li Changhe’s response was to throw a punch with his raised hand.

The next second, the Priestess of Summer’s fist collided heavily with Li Changhe’s.

Their clash caused the ground beneath Li Changhe’s feet to crack once more. The noise echoed like a sonic explosion in the area.

"Can you withstand the power of twenty years of my training with this punch?"

The Priestess of Summer’s face twisted.

"Is that all? Next time be careful not to overestimate your punches." Li Changhe gave her a glance and then charged past her once again.

However, the Priestess of Summer who remained in place, stood motionless.

Seconds later, blood began to flow from her seven orifices. The result of clashing fists with Li Changhe was that her own arm had been directly shattered, and the powerful recoil had crushed her vitality.

The extent of Li Changhe’s strength was far beyond her imagination.

She widened her eyes, but she could not see a shred of light. All was pitch-black before her.

And in that fleeting moment before death, she faintly saw the citizens of Xuan City passing before her in the darkness, walking past her in groups.

They ignored her and crossed past her, following that figure.

"Wait... what are you doing? You are... the citizens of the Lord of Xuan City... why would you..." The Priestess of Summer lifted her left hand, seemingly trying to stop them.

But she lost her balance and crashed heavily to the ground. And with that, she died.

Meanwhile, in the outer city, some kind of anomaly appeared on the bloody battlefield.

Certain severely wounded citizens of Xuan City died with a relieved smile on their faces.

There were even Royal Guards who died with a smile on their face after perishing together with the aliens.

It was as if, at the moment of their death, they saw something that brought them joy.

The Priestess of Spring turned an exceptionally pale shade when she noticed this.

"How is this possible? How can this be?" She stared at a dying Royal Guard before her, simply incredulous.

The Royal Guards were supposed to be the most loyal warriors of the Lord of Xuan City, yet there she was, in her dying moment, praying to someone else... that person was definitely not the Lord of Xuan City or the Queen!

"I wish you... victory in all battles..."

"Xiao Hua... now, you should be praying to the Lord of Xuan City!" The Priestess of Spring’s voice was hoarse.

"But... will she really come to save us?" The dying Royal Guard murmured, "You know... she won’t... Only that being... will tear apart despair for our sake."

The Royal Guard seemed to sense something and tried hard to look up at the sky: "Look... he’s here, he’s come to save us!"

"There’s nothing there! Nothing at all..." As the Priestess of Spring looked up, her voice abruptly stopped.

In the sky, hundreds of hot air balloons had somehow appeared above Xuan City.

Beneath each balloon hung a steel giant. With their arrival, voices echoed in the air.

"Have reached the designated location!"

"Support beacon located!"

"A large number of alien units detected."

"All teams prepare firepower, all personnel proceed to combat positions."

"Buffer packs ready. Right Brave Guard Fourth Battalion aerial support squadron is ready!"

"By order of General Li Ba, we shall exterminate the aliens! Exterminate the enemies of humanity!"

"All units, airstrike!"

"Aye!"

The next second, the steel giants detached from the hot air balloons and descended from the sky.

The Great Tang Expeditionary Army had finally arrived!
