Chapter 997: Chapter 650: What is this sound?

Journalists from various media outlets gathered outside the industrial park, scrambling to report on the incident.

Following the exposure of the Evolution Game, this kind of supernatural news became a hot topic without exception.

Unfortunately, the officials did not reveal much about the incident. Most of them could only look on helplessly.

However, an abnormality suddenly arose.

As a certain aura appeared, the official players on the scene all looked up at the sky together.

The quick-reacting photographers immediately shifted their cameras to look at the distant sky.

Then, they saw... a meteor shower!

The meteors, dragging blue tails of fire, fell from the sky, both stunning and dangerous.

Inside the chemical industrial park, a Flame Giant over twenty meters tall roared forth, its crimson flames radiating intense heat, distorting the air around it.

The Flame Giant swung its flaming sword and roared as it met the meteor shower.

The moment the red flames collided with the blue flames, a massive explosion was triggered.

Perhaps due to some substances stored within the chemical plant, the explosion was extremely fierce.

Even though far away, the journalists felt a substantial shockwave.

What was even more impactful was the scene they had captured on camera: the dazzling meteor shower and the towering Flame Giant. It was bound to become tomorrow’s headline news.

The official players and those hidden in the shadows simply watched the battlefield, unsurprised by the meteor shower.

Especially those players who had lived through the disaster fog, they knew all too well what the meteor shower signified. In that desperate fog, these blue meteors symbolized a certain hope.

"Let’s withdraw. Since Li Ba doesn’t need help, let’s do him this favor and consider it repaying a debt," the players discussed in secret and left the battlefield.

In the center of the battlefield, a wasteland had already formed.

Under the bombardment of the Hundred-Headed Shooter·Starfall, all the buildings in the area had been reduced to rubble.

Above the ruins, an armored warrior let out a silent battle cry, waving the king’s flag in hand and charging fiercely at the Three Corpses God.

In their way stood the golden giants released by the Three Corpses God, but unfortunately, even the giants, whose properties were close to Earth Level Extraordinary, could not breach the armored warriors’ defense.

Transparent barriers emerged from each armored warrior, and even as golden giants utilized the Array to enhance their strength and speed, shattering the transparent barriers with their fists,

they still had to face a super iron can brimming with Protection, and in many cases, they couldn’t deal effective damage to the warriors inside. They were quickly dismembered by chaotic blades.

And not long after, an armored warrior would re-emerge behind a new transparent barrier. The barriers that the golden giants painstakingly shattered were restored in an instant. All their efforts had gone to waste.

At the same time, the golden giants also had to defend against the bombardment of blue meteors from the sky, while the armored warriors had no such worries.

With Defense Force so formidable it was monstrous, they were able to use their barriers to fend off the shockwave impacts.

As long as they weren’t precisely hit by the Hundred-Headed Shooter, there was no need to worry about defense.

In many cases, the armored warriors attacked the golden giants under the barrage of the bombardment.

Faced with this army and precise aerial firepower, the more numerous golden giants were forced to retreat step by step, with countless casualties.

The only consolation was that Taoist Soldiers did not suffer from morale issues.

Otherwise, facing such a battle situation, other armies would have already collapsed and fled.

But even so, the Three Corpses God couldn’t help feeling a sense of urgency.

The enemy was too difficult to deal with, be it the precise Meteor Bombardment or these infuriatingly tough armored formations.

Neither was easy to handle.

And when both were combined, it created a sense of powerlessness and despair. Even Celestials would struggle to penetrate such military formations and bombardment!

In the midst of battle, the Three Corpses God activated the Mingxuan Shield for defense, ensuring he would not be directly hit by the meteors.

Then, he coldly observed the figure seated upon the Bronze Throne a hundred meters away.

Since the fight began, that ’abomination’ had never left the throne, an act of sheer arrogance and contempt that infuriated the Three Corpses God.

"Just nineteen years... and he’s already become this strong." The Three Corpses God finally understood what the Celestial Mechanism meant by nemesis and destiny.

At the same time, he was well aware that if he let this ’abomination’ live, he would never have another chance to kill him.

"It seems I must be the one to ’assassinate the king’." The Three Corpses God sneered.

Nineteen years ago, Li Kun broke through to become a Celestial and breached the formation of the golden-armored Taoist Soldiers, arriving before him. With his own life, he activated the Soul Locking Coffin and sealed him away.

And today, it was his turn to ’assassinate the king’!

Ha ha ha, what a twist of fate indeed.

"I can’t delay any longer, there are already too few Taoist Soldiers left. Once they’re fully depleted, I’ll no longer have any opportunity." The Three Corpses God thought, his Taoist Soldiers had suffered heavy losses after combating Li Kun and the Extraordinary Association. In a bit more killing, he wouldn’t even be able to form an array. No more hesitation!

"He possesses the ability to control Bronze, and for now, it’s unclear how. But at the very least, I can deduce that the Qingxuan Bell is unusable. It would backlash against me." While the Three Corpses God deployed his magical skills to attack the approaching armored warriors, using the Mingxuan Shield to defend against the meteor bombardment, he estimated in his mind: "He is known as General Li Ba, whose killing aura surpasses even that of the Military Marquis. Obviously, he’s an Extraordinary Soldier, possibly even a Military Clan Immortal. I must eliminate him with speed and strength beyond his ability to react. A single strike to win!"

"So defend with the Mingxuan Shield, attack with the horn, and then..." With a wave of his hand, the Three Corpses God produced a Swallowtail knife: "Use your father’s weapon to sever your head!"

As his thoughts settled,

The Three Corpses God’s left hand clenched, and among the golden-armored giants on the battlefield resisting the armored warriors, a few shone with a golden light.

Disregarding the armored warriors before them, they resolutely formed an array.

Because the Three Corpses God knew that victory or defeat would be decided in a mere instant.

The Ghost Valley’s marvelous array, the king within the array!

With the emergence of the array, tremendous strength was infused into the Three Corpses God’s body, making his magical skills more fluid, his speed quicker, and his strength greater.

With the boost from the array, his strength reached new heights.

Everything seemed to slow down in his eyes as he coldly smirked at the figure on the throne.

He then stepped forward, knife in hand.

Instantly, light flickered, and an exquisitely fast silhouette turned into a streak of light, speeding through the army formation of armored soldiers, aiming solely for the throne behind them.

The armored warriors could only see the silhouette flash by, utterly unable to react in time.

In just the blink of an eye, the Three Corpses God had covered the distance to less than twenty meters from the throne.

At the same time, a horn levitated and a fiery red Flame Giant roared forth.

"I’ve succeeded!" thought the Three Corpses God.

At this range, even the green meteors high above wouldn’t be able to stop him.

And even if the ’abomination’ reacted, it would first have to deal with his red flame dragon.

At the moment the ’abomination’ faced the flame dragon, his own knife would be severing the figure’s neck.

But just then, he heard the ’abomination’ let out a cold snort,

Followed by a very... abnormal... sound.

"What is this noise?" The thoughts of the Three Corpses God hadn’t settled.

The fire dragon before him was pierced by some object, and a pitch-black sphere, with a gaping mouth full of sharp teeth, appeared before the Three Corpses God.

’Slurp!’
