Chapter 145 Absolute Overwhelming Strength!
Chapter 145 Absolute Overwhelming Strength!
Behind Lin Xue, the azure sky seemed to have turned into a calm lake, where a pebble had been thrown in.
The space began to ripple, spreading out in concentric circles visible to the naked eye.
Immediately afterwards, a menacing, massive ship's bow, gleaming with a cold metallic light, silently emerged from the rippling void.
The bow of the ship was cast entirely from an unknown dark purple alloy, and its surface was covered with complex energy patterns.
It is filled with a cold, technological feel and a destructive, violent aesthetic, which is completely out of place in this ethereal world of Shushan.
Li Xiaoyao froze.
The laughter of all the Shu Mountain sword cultivators abruptly ceased, as if a duck had been choked.
An incredulous look of astonishment appeared on everyone's face.
However, this is just the beginning.
One ship, ten ships, a hundred ships, a thousand ships...
As if a beehive of another dimension had been pierced, one after another, enormous warships with ferocious shapes and an aura of oppression silently emerged from the void.
They were perfectly aligned, arranged in an impenetrable attack formation, like steel demons emerging from the depths of hell.
In the blink of an eye, a densely packed fleet of mechanical beings, blotting out the sky, occupied the entire sky above the Shu Mountain Sword Kingdom.
The sunlight was completely blocked, and a huge shadow was cast down, shrouding the entire ethereal Shu Mountain in a cold darkness.
"Buzz—Buzz—"
Amidst the sickening metallic scraping sound, tens of thousands of dark matter annihilation cannons, gleaming with a ghostly blue light of destruction, simultaneously emerged from beneath the warship's armor, adjusting their angles.
The cold muzzle, like tens of thousands of emotionless eyes of death, precisely locked onto the tense atmosphere of the Shu Mountain Sword Kingdom below.
Dead silence.
A deathly silence so profound you could hear a pin drop.
The Shu Mountain sword cultivators, who had been clamoring to take Lin Xue's life just a moment ago, were now ashen-faced and trembling uncontrollably.
Their hands, gripping the swords, were drenched in sweat.
Their prized swords and their sword formations, honed through years of arduous training, appeared so fragile and laughable before this torrent of steel capable of destroying the continent.
The contempt on Li Xiaoyao's face had vanished, replaced by extreme shock and anger.
His lips trembled as he stared intently at the steel dome that blotted out the sky.
He had expected Su Chen to send a large army, but he never imagined it would be on this scale or in this way!
Space jump technology!
This is a cutting-edge technology that even the previous generation of humans had not fully mastered!
Su Chen not only mastered it, but he has even applied it to such a massive fleet!
In this suffocating atmosphere of oppression, Su Chen's indifferent words seemed to come from the heavens above.
It seemed to resonate directly in everyone's hearts, drifting gently and clearly reaching Li Xiaoyao's ears.
"I never fight a battle unprepared."
"Li Xiaoyao, your so-called Sword Kingdom, which you are so proud of, is utterly vulnerable in my eyes."
Su Chen's voice, like a final judgment, echoed in every corner of Mount Shu.
The four words "utterly vulnerable" were like four invisible slaps, landing hard on the faces of Li Xiaoyao and the 100,000 sword cultivators.
It was a contempt that came from a higher dimension, a display of absolute power that could crush all their pride.
Faced with tens of thousands of dark matter annihilation cannons flashing with a ghostly blue light, all the sword cultivators of the Shu Mountain Sword Kingdom turned pale and bloodless.
The swords in their hands felt incredibly heavy at that moment.
That was no ordinary energy cannon; the energy fluctuations condensed at the muzzle made their very souls tremble.
They had no doubt that if those tens of thousands of cannons fired simultaneously, not only Mount Shu, but the entire surrounding area would be reduced to a void of energy abyss.
Their prized mountain-protecting sword formation appeared so fragile before this torrent of steel powerful enough to tear apart a planet, like a thin sheet of paper.
Li Xiaoyao's body trembled slightly, not from fear, but from extreme anger.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the cold fleet high in the sky, his teeth grinding together.
"Su Chen...you...!"
He was shocked and furious; he never expected Su Chen to be so lacking in "martial ethics"!
In his view, a duel between the strong should be a fair and square one-on-one contest.
What kind of hero would use such a massive military force to invade?
This is an insult to the way of the sword! It is a disgrace to him, the destined sword immortal!
However, Su Chen didn't care about his thoughts at all.
War is not a dinner party.
In order to gather all forces in the shortest possible time to fight against the approaching Seraph.
Su Chen had to use the most effective, direct, and shocking method.
What he wanted was not conquest, but annihilation.
What we want is not a one-on-one victory, but to make all the forces in the world with ulterior motives see one fact clearly: times have changed.
Individual bravery is worthless in the face of absolute technology and collective power.
High in the air
Lin Xue hovered expressionlessly in front of the fleet, her icy gaze piercing through layers of space, locking onto Li Xiaoyao atop the mountain.
She slowly raised her hand, her voice like that of ancient ice, issuing her final ultimatum.
"Li Xiaoyao, lay down your weapons and accept reorganization."
"Otherwise, in ten seconds, it will be razed to the ground."
Her voice wasn't loud, but through the fleet's amplification system, it transformed into rolling sound waves, clearly resounding for miles around.
ten.
The cold, synthesized electronic voice began to echo in the sky, like a countdown to death, striking everyone's heart.
Nine.
The enormous phantom of the ice phoenix behind Lin Xue exuded an increasingly terrifying pressure.
An extremely cold domain power spread out, freezing the space around Li Xiaoyao so that fine ice cracks appeared.
This is an SSS-level aura lock; if Li Xiaoyao makes any unusual move, Lin Xue's thunderous strike will instantly descend.
Eight.
The sword cultivators below were completely devastated.
"thump!"
It's unclear who was the first to succumb to the pressure, but the longsword slipped from their hand and fell to their knees, trembling uncontrollably.
This action was like a contagious plague; more and more sword cultivators dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Don't fire! We surrender! We're willing to join the alliance!"
"Sword Master! Surrender! We can't win!"
"We don't want to die!"
Cries for mercy and screams filled the air.
The indestructible "sword heart" of the Shu Mountain Sword Kingdom crumbled in the face of this absolute threat of death.
As Li Xiaoyao listened to the cries of his disciples and looked at their faces filled with despair and fear, the anger in his heart seemed to be doused with boiling oil and exploded instantly.
"Shut up!"
With a roar, the sword intent contained in his voice suppressed all the cries and screams.
"We, the sword cultivators of Mount Shu, would rather break than bend! We have never had anyone kneel down and beg for mercy!"
He laughed in his extreme anger, his laughter filled with tragic grandeur and resolute determination.
"Excellent! Excellent Su Chen! Excellent Alliance for Human Destiny!"
"In that case, let's fight!"
He knew he had no way out. Su Chen had put on such a grand show to make an example of him.
If he were to bow his head today, not only would Li Xiaoyao become a laughingstock, but the Shu Mountain Sword Kingdom would also cease to exist.
The only option is to fight to the death!
Only by killing the woman who gave the orders amidst the vast army can we have a chance of survival!
