The land was filled with mournful cries, and the remnants of the defeated army were in a state of utter despair. Like a bereaved son, Sai Ren struggled to muster his spirits, exhausting himself for 72 hours without sleep or rest, before he could barely gather the remaining troops and rebuild the camp in a small valley 30 kilometers west of their original base.

  Saizhen himself, Aridiya, 23 Dawn Squad white-robed warriors, 3 true Innate warriors and 15 pseudo-Innate warriors, plus 785 internal martial artists with good cultivation and over 5,400 mercenaries. This is the total combat strength that Saizhen currently possesses. He also has a few large-scale military equipment in his hands, including several ground-attack aircraft and armed helicopters, as well as more than 200 magnetic suspension tanks. However, since the camp was destroyed and all energy storage was vaporized, it won't be long before these things become decorations.

  Standing at the entrance of the hastily built command department in the camp, staring blankly at the thousands of mercenaries with low morale, Sai Zhen still didn't understand how this thing happened.

  How did so many ships just explode like this?

  About two kilometers away from the main camp, on a branch of a large tree, Gu Xie was gnawing on a roasted pheasant leg, and vaguely ordered: "Xin Jia, get to work!"

  He stood under the tree, responded with a loud voice, raised his hand-held cannon, and pressed the firing key according to the direction and distance pointed out by Gu Xiechen. The muzzle flashed, and a 105mm high-explosive killing shell whizzed away. The shell accurately landed in a group of mercenary Sacred Unicorns sitting on the ground, and the 360 metal pellets inside the shell swept across the surroundings like a stormy rain, sending more than 30 mercenaries flying into the air with their limbs severed, and a bloody flower bloomed.

  Xin Jia Mali fired a round of rapid shots, twelve high-explosive killing bullets hitting the sacred unicorn mercenaries in the valley, causing them to howl and scatter. Another barrage took away the lives of more than 200 mercenaries. Sai Zi and A'Rediya rushed over in extreme anger, Gu Xie Chen dropped the chicken bones in his hand, smiling as he led Xin Jia to retreat in time.

  "If he is your enemy, you must use every trick and stratagem to destroy him before he kills you."

  Gu Xiadun whispered the warning his father had given him, a cold smile slowly spreading across his face. He ordered Xin Jia to drop the heavy cannon, and Gu Xiadun estimated that Sai Jin had already arrived at the previous artillery position, so he took Xin Jia and quietly snuck back to their original location.

  Hundreds of meters away from the previous location, Gu Xie Chen heard the loud crash of a large tree falling. Dozens of girls holding long knives were chopping down trees like crazy, and with each "ding ding dang" sound, another tree fell, only to be chopped into powder by these girls. Sai Zi's feet stepped on a silver light that floated in mid-air several meters above the ground, and he roared at the sky with extreme anger: "Gu Xie Chen! You're a man, get out here! I want to duel you, I want to duel you!"

  "Cut it out!" Gu Xiechen snorted in disdain, muttering under his breath: "I'm a merchant from the Gu family, I'm a businessman, not some noble. Duel? Don't be ridiculous?"

  Cautiously sneaking to within three hundred meters of Sai and Aridia, Kuxiaodun pulled out a small remote control from his Taoist robe sleeve and pressed it casually.

  Aridiya, standing beside Saren, suddenly sensed a strong energy fluctuation coming from underground. Her instincts kicked in and she leapt tens of meters high, grabbing Saren's hand and shouting "Be careful!"

  Sai Ren's face changed, a sharp silver light shot out from his brow, and the rippling silver light enveloped him and Aridy.

  Three boxes of sixty 105mm shells exploded underground, a black-red fireball burst out from the ground, and Sain and Ardiya were just covered by the fireball. Shrapnel flew in all directions, dozens of girls turned into rays of light and shot back into Sain's body at high speed, and Sain and Ardiya, whose bodies were covered with silver light, were blown away for nearly a hundred meters. The silver light screen flickered and rippled, and a column of blood spurted out from Sain's nostrils.

  Ardiya let out a furious scream, and two blazing flames shot out of her eyes. Dozens of fireballs with diameters of several meters appeared around her, and in just an instant, the massive fireballs compressed to the size of human heads. The black-red fireballs emitted violent heat flows, and Ardiya swung her right hand downwards towards the dense forest below. Dozens of fireballs, accompanied by dull thunderclaps, roared towards the ground.

  Xin Jia raised his head high, and in a low, muffled tone said: "Even grains of rice can shine with splendor!"

  Fingers lightly snapped, and dozens of thumb-sized stone pellets suddenly appeared in front of Xin Jia's fingertips, "Dong Dong Dong", the stone pellets were like being shot out by a strong crossbow, bringing out white air waves in the air, directly shooting fireballs. The fireball that Aridyah shot out had just fallen down a few meters away when it was detonated by the incoming stone pellets, and dozens of fireballs exploded around Sain and Aridyah's side. A violent fire cloud covered the sky, Sain and Aridyah roared as they were blown flying hundreds of meters high and hundreds of meters away again, Sain's protective silver light shook for a moment, finally becoming a layer of silver gauze that seemed to be on the verge of shattering at any time.

  Xie Ren's seven orifices all spewed out fresh blood, and Aridyah's eyes also flowed with two thin streams of blood.

  Xin Jia said calmly, "Your Excellency, this woman's fire-based dao law is scattered and not concentrated, and she doesn't belong to the upper echelons. Although her primordial spirit was damaged and her strength hasn't recovered yet, her realm is too low, and it would be a waste of effort to even strike at her."

  Aridiya's incredibly powerful fire-type ability was actually so unbearable in Xin Jia's mouth? Gu Xie dusted off his praise and took a look at the steady-as-a-mountain Xin Jia, whose body had already transformed into a whirlwind. "Xin Jia, I'll take care of this guy myself, you just provide cover for me from the side, don't make another move!"

  With his left hand forming a seal, Xing Jia was about to make his move when he suddenly froze. He respectfully withdrew the seal and followed closely behind Gu Xiechen, not daring to take a single step back.

  Several ups and downs later, Gu Xiechen climbed up a tall tree over 150 meters high. Just as he reached the top of the tree, Sai Zhen and Aredia fell from the edge of the treetop, their bodies spewing black smoke everywhere. Sai Zhen was clearly severely injured, his silver light flow had dissipated, and he could no longer support himself in mid-air. Gu Xiechen sneered coldly, leaping into the air with a swipe of his claw towards Sai Zhen's back. "Sai Zhen," Gu Xiechen shouted sternly, "You want to take me to the Gu family to gain benefits? I'll never let you go!"

  Sai Ren's eyes widened, he gritted his teeth and drew a silver sword from his waist, the blade was as wide as a finger and four feet five inches long, nearly a hundred cold lights swiftly pierced Gu Xie's heart.

  With a light wave of his right claw, Gu Xie's dust-covered Snowy Claw clashed with Sai Er's sword. Sai Er and Ardiya couldn't help but feel a thrill in their hearts as they witnessed this scene. Sai Er's rapier was a divine artifact forged from rare alloys at the laboratory level by a master swordsmith of the highest order, who had hammered and refined it a hundred times. In the past, with just a casual swing of his hand, Sai Er's rapier could easily slash open a one-foot-thick alloy plate. Could Gu Xie's Snowy Claw really compare to this rare alloy?

  "Hahaha", with a few faint crisp sounds, the treasured sword that Sai Yin had tempered and refined for thousands of times was cut into dozens of pieces by Gu Xiechen's right claw as easily as cutting tofu. Sai Yin couldn't even feel the force of Gu Xiechen's right claw colliding with his treasured sword, this sword which almost represented the highest technological standard of metallurgy in the Earth Federation seemed to be non-existent in front of Gu Xiechen's right claw.

  Sai Ren was stunned, Aridiya was stunned, and the two of them had their eyes wide open, almost popping out of their eye sockets.

  Guxiaochen smiled coldly, the power of his Like-minded Hand Gloves had exceeded his imagination. With a slight smile, he didn't give Sai'er and Aridiya any chance to react, Guxiaochen's right palm sucked in and spat out, his five fingers directly grasping towards Sai'er's heart. Sai'er widened his eyes, staring blankly at Guxiaochen's killing move approaching him, his mind went blank, and his heart was filled with despair.

  Aridiya grabbed Ceren's arm and threw her to the side with all her might, but she herself was knocked off balance by the recoil and stumbled in front of Gu Xiechen's right claw. The sharp claw tore open Aridiya's silver uniform, then quickly withdrew, leaving a tiny bloodstain on Aridiya's delicate skin.

  His body weakened, he was thrown flying out. His five internal organs were all torn apart. He turned his head back and roared: "Aredia! Don't!" The corners of Sain's eyes burst open, two points of extremely bright and piercing blood spurted out.

  Guxiaozhen grabbed Aridyah's collar and tossed her aside. Guxiaozhen scowled and bellowed, "Get out of here! I've never laid a hand on women!"

  Aridiya smiled softly, turning her head to look at Sai Ni who was spitting blood from seven orifices. Her right palm suddenly wrapped around Gu Xiechen's left arm which he had just thrown out. Gu Xiechen felt his left arm tighten as Aridiya firmly grasped it, unable to throw it away. Aridiya's left palm naturally stuck to Gu Xiechen's chest, a red glow burst forth, and a fireball was generated in her palm.

  "Aradiya!" Saren was stunned, completely forgetting to control his falling body, letting himself crash through the branches and trunks of trees, he didn't even know how many branches he had broken before landing on the ground. The rough tree bark and sharp broken branches left streaks of blood on Saren's hands and face, turning him into a bloody mess.

  “Crazy woman!” Gu Xiandust's whole body trembled with rage, he deeply knew the power of Aridyah's fireball, which was even more terrifying than a heavy aerial bomb. With a wave of his right palm, Gu Xiandust was about to kill Aridyah, but he suddenly saw the passionate fervor in her eyes.

  Aridiya's left palm still crazily compressed the fireball, but her full attention was on Sain. Her gaze passed over Gu Xiechen's shoulder, dazed and fervently staring at Sain.

  Just like the gaze of a young girl looking at an old man back then!

  The only soft spot in Gu Xiechen's heart was touched, and he burst out with a gloomy face, blasting Aridyah away. He kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying out. A human-sized fireball stuck to Gu Xiechen's chest, with black-red viscous liquid churning inside, about to explode. Gu Xiechen swung his right palm, and a faint glow flashed on his Like-Intent Hand Guard. His hand was like a steel knife slicing through the fireball, splitting it in two. His right palm fluttered like the wind, and the Like-Intent Hand Guard brought forth a series of glows that transformed into a blurry light net in mid-air. Aridyah's incredibly powerful fireballs were chopped to nothingness by Gu Xiechen's wild slashes.

  "Crack", Sai Ren's mouth opened wide with a loud noise, his chin almost dislocated.

  "Impossible!" Aridyah, who had fallen heavily to the ground and almost lost her breath, stared with wide eyes. She panted roughly, gazing at Gu Xiechen with a terrified look as if she was seeing a devil from hell. The most violent, turbulent, and uncontrollable fire-type ability, condensed into a fireball, could actually be sliced like tofu?

  He grasped the last wisp of scattered fire energy with his hand, and Gu Xiechen clenched his fist. A wisp of residual smoke drifted out from between his fingers, and Gu Xiechen, dressed in a Taoist robe, slowly descended from over a hundred meters high, his movements as elegant as those of an immortal. His feet didn't stir up even a speck of dust. Sai Zhen and Ardiya stared at Gu Xiechen in shock, marveling at his incredible lightness technique and body movement. How high was this guy's cultivation after all? Was this still the same Gu Xiechen who had been beaten by them just a few days ago until he fled with his tail between his legs?
