715: Chapter 701: Victory 715: Chapter 701: Victory The moment the explosion’s flash lit up, most people couldn’t look directly at the overly dazzling white light.
If you were far enough away…meaning the viewing area twenty or thirty kilometers away, you could see a “sun” tearing through the sky.
This meteorite directly tore apart everything in front of it, from top to bottom.
After the light had faded, what everyone saw was quite a terrifying scene.
The giant beast was still standing there, towering like a mountain, but a part of its neck had disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, a column of blood gushed out from the neck, like a fountain.
Finally, the giant beast’s knees bent.
Then, its massive body slowly tilted.
This process lasted for tens of seconds, like the slow collapse of a mountain of rocks.
Its lower limbs all folded onto the ground, and the entire earth experienced an earthquake.
People who could still run frantically fled for their lives, as those who were too slow would surely face death.
Another earthquake happened when its entire body fell to the ground.
At this time, someone whispered the question to themselves.
In the next moment, the entire battlefield was filled with cheers in the Eastern Country language.
The collapse of the giant beast led to an avalanche on the battlefield.
This was not only because most of the Aus people were far away from it and were affected, but also because the fall of their greatest spiritual support shattered everyone’s hope.
In particular, various military weapons and vehicles were positioned below the giant beast under the “infantry and tank cooperation” tactics.
At this moment, they became the unluckiest ones with the most damage inflicted.
“Don’t let them escape!”
The people of the Eastern Country were greatly encouraged, and next, it was time to settle the scores and pursue the enemy.
Above the corpse of the giant beast, Lu Ping’an breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground, while hastily applying a “Payment Extension” on himself.
Zhi Xi’s usage of it had already shown that its safety was better than expected, at least it was still a “ballistic weapon”…now it was just the epicenter that was a mess, but at least it wasn’t completely destroyed.
At the last moment, Lu Ping’an, in full armor, left behind his arm…uh, the arm of the Silver Knight Zhi Xi, and hid in the courtyard.
This was also a gamble, because after he disappeared, his “key” would remain in this world.
If someone took it or directly blew it up at this time, then it would be a big joke.
But now, the surroundings were full of traces of burning, as if they had encountered thunderstorms and volcanoes.
The fact that the “key” was still intact was expected, as its grade should be higher than that of this giant beast.
Lu Ping’an lay on the ground, and even though he had already used the Payment Extension, his body was still full of cracks and scars.
But for using flames of this level, even just summoning them, this price alone was enough.
[Congratulations, Holy Fire Exorcism Skill (Fire Manipulation Professional Skill) has been upgraded to lv17.
Please confirm your Mastery soon…]
The prompt on the system panel was probably just an additional surprise.
“This toy isn’t bad, but it’s a little exhausting.”
Looking at the headless corpse of the giant beast, Lu Ping’an couldn’t help but sigh.
The surroundings were like they had just been bombed.
If he hadn’t retreated into the courtyard in time, he might not have died, but he would have been seriously injured.
Perhaps if an ordinary Decree-level Element Manipulator unleashed this level of explosion, it would definitely result in their destruction…but an ordinary Decree-level also wouldn’t be able to maximize its power.
Lu Ping’an looked around and saw that the “rocket launcher” was gone, not even a trace of white bones remained.
“Maybe it hasn’t completely disintegrated and has flown away?”
However, the reason Lu Ping’an could be so relaxed now was because the Aus people had lost their will to fight after the giant beast had fallen.
The tide of the battlefield had turned, and the strongmen were the best at reading the winds.
High-level professionals among the Aus people began to desert, and when the first person leapt on a Sky Knight to flee, it was like sounding the retreat trumpet.
On the battlefield, the Aus people’s biggest reliance was this absurd giant beast, and when it fell, it not only signaled their mental collapse, but also declared their defeat in a tangible sense.
Victory was no longer possible, and if the war had lost its strategic goals, was there any need to carry on?
At least the Aus people had answered with a resounding rout.
One moment, they were slaughtering like war maniacs, and the next, they turned into broken families, running for their lives.
Lu Ping’an’s comrades emerged one by one around him…
They protected him with his weary face and cautiously surveyed the battlefield.
“Check on this one and see if there’s any hope.
If not, let’s bury them all together this time.”
“Damn, you guys are so ungrateful!” Xue En, who was also carried out, complained in indignation.
Although his voice was hoarse and his body charred, as long as he could still make a sound, he shouldn’t be dying.
Lu Ping’an casually tapped a one-sixth payment delay…
This time, considering the smell of grilled meat on him, it was one-sixth.
“Be careful next time, you were seriously injured.
There will be a ‘relapse’ on the same day next month, don’t mess up.”
The panda-man, who had recovered five-sixths immediately, stood up satisfied.
In a sense, Xue En was indeed very “useful”, especially on the battlefield when there were uncontrollable high-risk factors like natural disasters.
However, if the situation hadn’t been beyond salvation, no one would want him on the battlefield.
“Do we need to pursue and kill…”
The Aus people’s rout was right in front of them, and Lu Ping’an thought for a moment before shaking his head.
The battlefield was still unfolding.
Most of the Aus people had either fled or surrendered, and the battle was entering the mopping-up stage, but some strong Aus people were still being held back.
Sparks and power fluctuations signaled the intensity of the war, and any fourth-tier strongman wouldn’t go down easily.
Cornered beasts tend to fight.
It’s easy to cause mutual destruction at such times, but of course, the risks and rewards are equal.
If one could obtain the opponent’s “relics”…
“There’s not much profit in it, no need.” Lu Ping’an shook his head again.
Lu Ping’an relaxed and lay down on the ground.
Although his body was in pain and convulsing, he was satisfied to feel like he was still alive…
Every leisure time after fighting and taking risks might be when he was most aware of being alive.
The others pondered for a moment and then sat down one by one.
Zhi Xi quickly ran towards the severed beast’s head with a bucket-like shape, apparently intending to collect some blood and broken flesh.
As for Xue En, who had just recovered a bit, he took out a barbecue rack and started preparing for dinner.
This strange custom of feasting after a successful hunt had somehow become a “tradition” for Lu Ping’an’s team.
The greedy Meow hesitated for a moment, and seeing Lu Ping’an not stopping her, she sneaked away again…
The speed of collecting spoils on the battlefield was probably unmatched by anyone else.
Xia Qin grimaced as she bandaged her wounds.
Her bruised body testified that there was a limit to a person’s resilience.
She refused Lu Ping’an’s treatment, claiming that the cultivation of a Sword Saint involved constant pain, getting used to pain, and overcoming pain.
Uh, it might sound a bit off, perhaps this was the reason why the Sword Saint profession was rumored to have intelligence-lowering side effects…
The kids had been beaten silly!
Senior Brother Guan was almost in tears…
His “Little Sang” had been a temporary barrier, suffered a lightning strike, and now, he had to go back and give it a good “major repair”.
After counting the number of people, the situation was not bad.
Although everyone had injuries, it was much better compared to other teams.
As long as Lu Ping’an was around, anyone who hadn’t died on the spot could be saved…
The only one who could be considered seriously injured, using a one-sixth-payment delay with many lingering problems, was Xue En.
Everyone got busy while Lu Ping’an lay on the ground, not wanting to move at all…until someone handed a “Divine Beast Grilled Meat” into his mouth.
In the midst of their busyness, they all felt joy and satisfaction to varying degrees.
Watching the scene before him, Lu Ping’an unconsciously showed a smile as he spit out the horribly tasting grilled meat.
“It’s great, we survived again.” After the thrill of death, Lu Ping’an looked at the blue sky contentedly and felt a great sense of peace in his heart.
