Chapter 113: The Realm Lord Descends
"clang--!"
A deafening roar, capable of shattering metal and splitting stone, exploded in mid-air. Taino's iron fist collided with Lati's heavy sword.
The instant the sword and fist made contact, a terrifying force surged wildly through the blade. Lati couldn't even grip the hilt properly; with a few teeth-grinding cracking sounds, his armored arm guards, covered in sturdy alloy, shattered inch by inch, and the bones in his arms broke and deformed on the spot under the absolute pressure of the force.
The heavy sword flew out of his hand, spinning rapidly in mid-air, severing the flanks of several fighter jets behind him.
Lati himself was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, his body slammed into the flagship's armor behind him, smashing a huge dent into the sturdy alloy shell. The internal wiring of the fighter jet instantly emitted blinding sparks, and alarms blared throughout the area.
"Commander!"
The surrounding Imperial Guard soldiers gasped in surprise, and the blockade formation began to falter.
Taino landed a successful blow, his eyes, hidden beneath his visor, remained completely unmoved. He gave his opponent no chance to catch his breath. With a sudden burst of power in mid-air, his legs created a visible white sonic boom cloud beneath his feet, and he transformed into a blinding purple lightning bolt, charging once again towards Lati, who was embedded in the flagship's armor.
When they were still dozens of meters away from the flagship, Taino delivered another powerful punch from a distance.
The raging genetic energy condensed into a solidified purple fist shadow, which slammed heavily into Lati's already twisted and deformed body.
"Boom—!"
A deafening series of explosions resounded through the sky, and a huge fireball burst in mid-air.
The flagship fighter jet, along with more than a dozen escort fighter jets, was swept up and disintegrated on the spot.
Before Lati could even leave the flagship, he was completely engulfed by the raging flames and scattered metal debris, his fate unknown.
"Now!"
Seeing that Taino had succeeded in his attack, Hong quickly shouted in the team chat.
"Third brother, Iron Guard, take your men and follow!"
The C5-level puppet, which had been waiting in the wings, gleamed brightly in its eye sockets. Its deep red metallic body, like an ancient beast breaking free of its cage, vanished suddenly, and the next moment, it crashed headlong into the massive formation of Royal Martial Legion fighter jets.
With each swing of its massive mechanical arm, it could tear a fighter jet with its energy shield activated, along with its pilot, in two. It ignored the laser beams fired by the surrounding star-level soldiers, letting the attacks explode and spark on its armor.
It rampaged through the ranks of fighter jets, leaving behind only a trail of exploding flames and metal debris in its wake.
"Main gun, lock on to it! Lock on to it now!"
The surviving commander of the Imperial Guard was screaming hysterically on the communications channel.
"The target is moving too fast, we can't lock on!" The driver's voice was filled with terror.
Taking advantage of the fact that the front lines were completely disrupted by Taino and the puppets, a glint flashed in Luo Feng's eyes.
"open circuit!"
The seventy-two incredibly thick, dark red vines were no longer passively defensive. They intertwined into a massive net, firmly enveloping Hong, Lei Shen, Iron Guard, and the remaining elite troops of Three Axe Mountain under his command, like a giant battering ram slamming into the already gaping breach in the defensive line.
"Brothers, stick close to Brother Hong's team! Charge!"
Iron Guard shouted at the crowd.
The remaining thousand-plus elite ninth-tier Hengxing warriors, under the protection of the Moyun Vine, rushed at full speed towards the exit of the spatial barrier above through the gap in the defensive line, disregarding everything else, and scattered all the Royal Martial Corps soldiers and fighter jets that tried to regroup and block them.
In the heart of the inner world, above the central square.
The Ninth Prince Brolin sat on his command throne, awaiting news of the complete annihilation of the enemy from the front lines. A communications adjutant scrambled towards him.
"Your Highness! Something...something has happened! The exit defense line has been breached by the people of Three Axe Mountain! Commander Lati...Commander Lati, his fate is unknown!"
"What did you say?"
Brolin's handsome face twitched. He kicked over the virtual tactical star map in front of him and roared angrily, "Useless! A bunch of useless trash! Tens of thousands of ninth-tier constant-star defenses, with a cosmic-level commander overseeing them, and they can't even stop a few thousand small fry? Pass on my order: immediately transfer the first and second battalions from the front lines back to reinforce the exit at full speed! We can't let them escape!"
But how could the Three Axe Mountain Allied Forces, having received intelligence, let them leave? Marshal Jiang Tianchen had already given a death order.
"Retreat? No way! All forces, press forward and hold off the main force of the Imperial Martial Legion!"
The frontline commander of Three Axe Mountain roared, and countless energy beams poured down, holding back the Imperial Martial Corps' returning reinforcements and leaving them unable to spare any attention.
The exit of the boundary within the boundary.
Hong's team of five, along with the remaining members of the Three Axe Mountain, had already reached the spatial barrier.
The Imperial Martial Corps soldiers in the rear were still struggling, and the sparse laser beams hit the vines of the Cloud Vine, stirring up bursts of weak sparks.
"Rush!"
The crowd transformed into streaks of light and filed in.
The spies lurking around the exit were in an uproar, and intelligence reports were rapidly being transmitted through their respective communication networks: the people from Sanfu Mountain had successfully broken through!
As they broke through the boundary within a boundary, the sky filled with purple lightning and a raging hurricane once again appeared before them.
"Don't waste time here, keep full speed ahead, head straight to the exit of Thunder World!"
The team transformed into a long streak of light, speeding through the Wind and Thunder Canyon. Teams still collecting Wind Horn Stones on the outskirts, seeing this spectacle from afar, scattered in fear, lest they be caught in the crossfire.
After a period of rapid travel, the team successfully arrived at the exit of Thunder World. In the distance, Taino and the C5-level puppet also quickly arrived to join them.
"Master, everything is almost resolved."
Hong nodded.
"Let's go."
The group entered one by one, and after the spatial shift, they finally stepped onto the solid ground of Canglan Star once again.
The lobby of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance headquarters.
Mingyu, the external steward of Sanfu Mountain, had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
Upon seeing Hong and his group appear, Ming Yu immediately led his men to meet them.
"Well done."
Mingyu immediately ordered his men to keep Hong's five-man team under strict protection.
Just as the two sides had successfully met.
Above the hall, the once clear sky was suddenly torn apart by the clouds.
A terrifying pressure descended from the sky without warning, instantly enveloping the entire Canglan Star.
All the martial artists present, regardless of their strength, were so overwhelmed by this oppressive aura that their knees buckled and they almost collapsed to the ground.
Even Ming Yu, a domain lord-level expert, had a grim expression at this moment.
"This is... a World Lord-level powerhouse! It's Hargrave!"
