Looking at the battle as a whole, the situation on Wang Jixuan's side was relatively smooth.
They easily lured the Beast Speaker out of the underground. The Buddhist Hall squad used the Seven Stars Sword Formation, coupled with Wang Jixuan's sneak attacks, causing the Beast Speaker to die in utter frustration.
The Beast Speaker's vengeful spirit even gave Wang Daoshi and the Buddhist Hall squad a wave of benefits.
Later, Wang Jixuan's act of bombing the King-level Evangelist was also due to his excellent coordination with Wu Man. Wang Jixuan sacrificed his flying sword as the price, directly 'creating' the death of that King-level Evangelist.
Unfortunately, the opponent was not completely dead.
In the battlefield opened by the Blade Beasts using the pseudo-interstellar gate, the situation was another extreme.
The human camp was on the verge of collapse.
Red Snake was constantly taking a beating;
Most of the reinforcements transferred from various fortresses went to support Fortress 39 on Oriole Heights. Fortress 39 on Oriole Heights was already on the verge of falling.
There was a high probability that a huge tragedy of fortress annihilation would occur today.
Now, the only way to prevent the tragedy from escalating and protect more fortresses was for this assault team led by Black Shell to enter the underground and try to close or destroy the [Pseudo-Interstellar Gate].
Fighting on the surface, with sufficient firepower support, the casualties were controlled within a relatively good expectation.
But once they entered the underground…
Remote firepower support would be ineffective;
The all-terrain drones they were equipped with were far inferior to the number of Blade Beasts;
Subsequent battles would be very difficult.
Black Shell persuaded Wang Jixuan again, wanting Wang Jixuan to stay with the semi-human mecha team, piloting the mecha to guard the surface and shallow underground, guarding their retreat.
Wang Jixuan was also worried that he would be submerged by the Blade Beast tide, his mana would be exhausted, and he would eventually die a violent death.
But there was no way around it;
The firepower of the human technology side had no effect on that gate. Only he could try to destroy the restrictions on that gate—the [circuit] in the mouths of the Blade Beasts and spiritual cultivators.
Daoshi was not a nagging person.
What's more, he still had many escape routes.
Back then, when his cultivation was far inferior to what it was now, he charged into the immature nest of the young king worm with one person, one gun, and one set of demonic skills, going in and out seven times, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent surge in his spiritual power.
Today, he could also replicate this scene.
Although the Demon Luo Heaven Fiend Art was restricted, and using it again would easily lead to falling into the demonic path, his Dragon Python Devouring Heaven Art also had a certain 'getting stronger with each battle' characteristic.
—It could continuously devour the remnant souls of Blade Beast crystal cores to replenish itself.
Taking a step back, even if he had to use the Demon Luo Heaven Fiend Art, such a top-notch demonic art, today, he would not necessarily completely fall into the demonic path. He only needed to take necessary measures and use medical skills to 'harm' himself after the battle. There was a high probability that he could pull himself back from the edge of the demonic path.
Sometimes, cultivators don't need to ask whether it's worth it, only whether they are willing.
"Let's go down together."
Wang Jixuan replied to Black Shell in this way, his voice quite relaxed when he spoke:
"I've already fought my way here, how can I retreat?
"Let Lingtong guard the ground. She didn't bring any other equipment, only a fifteen-meter-tall exclusive mecha, which is not suitable for underground combat."
"Lingtong was originally going to guard the ground."
Black Shell clicked his tongue:
"You kid really has a bit of the commander-in-chief's youthful look, with a reassuring energy. Alright, I won't persuade you anymore… All assault teams, listen to the order!"
This instructor formulated a rotating thrust tactic.
From their starting point to the underground pseudo-interstellar gate, the total thrust distance was 2,672 meters.
There were four or five sections that required blasting to create a passage.
The Buddhist Hall squad, the pinnacle maid corps, and the semi-human mecha team led by Black Shell were the three sharp knives.
Three hundred high-level autonomous mechanical bodies and one hundred and ninety elite general enhanced special forces were the back and handle of the knife.
They would carry three portable nuclear bombs with them, with a yield similar to the one Wang Jixuan released with his flying sword before, belonging to the category of tactical nuclear bombs.
The assault team attacking the gate seemed to have few people, but in reality, there were still a large number of drones cooperating, with teams on the surface controlling a large number of drones.
The cost of this mission was unprecedentedly huge.
One hundred and ninety elite special forces members were all wearing full-coverage standard armor, resistant to pressure and oxygen supply, with independent energy systems, providing powerful protection, and equipped with light blades and laser cannons.
And the estimated attrition rate for this operation would be above 70%.
The preparation time for the assault was only eight minutes.
Lingtong did not talk to Wang Jixuan, she would not incorporate any personal relationships when working.
The semi-human mecha team she was in had already launched assaults everywhere. With their current firepower, there would be no pressure to consolidate the current position.
In a few minutes, Wang Jixuan joined a new command channel and also lost command authority.
From now on, the only commander was Black Shell.
The old instructor's voice was still so calm and steady, occasionally saying some swear words:
"Remember your number, my team is Sharp Knife 01, Wang Zheng and his wingman team are Sharp Knife 02, and That Pervert Duo's side is Sharp Knife 03."
Zheng Shiduo rarely used a serious voice: "You shouldn't use nicknames during battle."
"How the hell would I know who gave you this shitty name! What? Can't I call you a nickname?"
Black Shell cursed a few words, and Zheng Shiduo closed his mouth timidly.
Wang Jixuan looked at Mudan next to him.
Mudan's pretty face hidden behind the armor showed a sly smile.
"There's some bad news."
Black Shell muttered:
"Fortress 39 on Oriole Heights may not last ten minutes, so let's not have any time pressure. Just assume that fortress has already been destroyed. What we need to do now is destroy this portal to prevent more Blade Beasts from being transported to the hinterland… This portal can probably transmit six thousand Blade Beasts per minute right now.
"The further down you go, the more Blade Beasts there will be.
"After arriving at that semi-circular structure, the density of Blade Beasts will exceed your imagination. Your armors all have radiation-proof light shields, but I'm not sure if this thing can protect you all the time.
"So, the overall idea is that we first approach that semi-circular area, let the mechanical bodies go in to detonate the nuclear bombs, and we have to withstand the radiation and electromagnetic blast at close range, praying that there will be no problems with our armor.
"Alright, that's it, let's skip the pre-war mobilization.
"Sharp Knife 01 enters the passage."
As his words fell, a six-meter-high underground combat-specific mecha took the lead in jumping into the passage entrance.
More than a dozen three- to four-meter-high underground-specific mechas, under the operation of semi-human mechas, entered one after another.
Including this passage entrance, at several nearby underground passage entrances, a large number of silver-gray spider drones drilled into the passage.
Explosions began to occur continuously underground.
The assault began.
Wang Jixuan waited quietly for orders.
About two minutes later.
"Sharp Knife 02 enters the passage, the blade and handle of the knife, each assault team enters the passage in the order of their numbers."
Here it comes.
…
[2368 meters from the Pseudo-Starry Sky Gate.]
Wang Jixuan gripped his long spear, took a stride and jumped into the passage entrance, Mudan led the maid corps to quickly follow.
They began to run in the passage. This circular passage was not suitable for running, but it was considered spacious—almost all of it was created by the giant earthworms.
Behind Wang Jixuan and the others, a large number of mechanical bodies and elite special forces mixed and followed.
They activated their shields, lit up their light blades, and prepared their laser cannons.
The battle ahead was very fierce. Team Sharp Knife 1 was in a cavity with a diameter of dozens of meters.
They encountered a general-level Blade Beast sniper. That general-level Blade Beast was directly torn apart by Black Shell in just one encounter.
But the information that they had begun to advance was also transmitted to the Blade Beast's communication system by the Evangelist Blade Beast in the corner.
In the underground passages extending in all directions, the sounds of 'gu gu gu' rose and fell.
A sniping force composed of high-level Blade Beasts quickly filled their path forward.
…
[2000 meters from the Pseudo-Interstellar Gate]
Team Sharp Knife 1 forcibly advanced nearly four hundred meters and encountered a large number of Blade Beast snipers, requiring replenishment of ammunition and energy.
Wang Jixuan's Team Sharp Knife 2 moved forward, and the other semi-human mechas besides Black Shell temporarily rested to the rear.
Team Sharp Knife 2 did not have mechas, but their instantaneous explosive power was not inferior at all!
Wang Jixuan took the lead with a long spear, rushing to Black Shell's side. The long spear swept across, and a blue light flashed, breaking the blade limbs of the Blade Beasts in front of him one by one.
What followed was a war of attrition;
Wang Jixuan directly started with the Dragon Python Devouring Heaven Art, and the Flood Dragon Hetero-Soul turned into a two-meter-long aura surrounding him.
Silver-white armor, a Flood Dragon Hetero-Soul with black mixed with gold, a silver-bright long spear whose material had reached the limit of what Wang Jixuan could currently obtain, and the constantly blooming crimson laser.
He was like a killing god, and even high-level Blade Beasts could hardly stop his spear.
His momentum could even temporarily surpass Black Shell!
Wu Man accumulated power from behind. He did not need to use his beast language ability at this moment. His key moment would be when releasing the tactical nuclear bombs later.
The maid僚機团 corps led by Mudan filled the gaps behind Wang Jixuan, and the laser cannon beams they released could always accurately hit the mouthparts of those high-level Blade Beasts.
The corpses of Blade Beasts had become obstacles to advancement.
High-level Blade Beast corpses were also very troublesome to deal with. Black Shell's mecha could tear apart high-level Blade Beasts by hand, but the volume of the corpses could not be ignored.
Wang Daoshi still solved this problem.
When the corpses in front piled up into a mountain and blocked the passage, he threw out a blank talisman, wrote the True Flame Talisman, supplemented it with the Burning Blood Secret Art, and used the blood of the Blade Beasts as fuel to directly burn these corpses.
Although the advancement speed slowed down, the spiritual energy in the passage became more and more abundant.
Wang Jixuan's state also became stronger and stronger.
…
[1700 meters from the Pseudo-Starry Sky Gate]
Team Sharp Knife 3 moved forward, replacing Team Sharp Knife 2.
Just as Black Shell was about to pull Wang Jixuan to rest, a commotion appeared on the front line.
The Buddhist Hall squad was good at using many against one, but in this situation, it was difficult to exert their own strength.
— The mental attacks of psychic espers had little effect on high-level Blade Beasts.
The newest chapters are first released on !
The battle line advanced with difficulty for over thirty meters. Seeing that the efficiency was too slow, Black Shell ended its rest early and led the half-human mecha squad that had finished regrouping in a fierce attack.
The Foton Squad was quite embarrassed.
But there was no way around it. In the long battle between Blade Beasts and the Spiritual Cultivator civilization, adaptive evolution had already occurred.
The offensive started again.
Further progress became increasingly difficult. The Blade Beasts gathered like madmen in this narrow terrain and tried to destroy the passage.
Some team members showed pessimistic emotions.
But pessimistic emotions did not make them afraid of battle, but rather made them think about how to die more meaningfully and help the team achieve final victory.
...
[1000 meters from the pseudo-Stargate]
The ground drone coverage stopped, and the commando's pressure suddenly increased. Deaths and injuries occurred in the Sharp Knife 01 team.
There were drill worms opening temporary passages, ambushing the commando from behind, cutting off the commando's connection with the surface, and causing more casualties to the special operations team in the rear. Many high-level mechanical bodies were lost.
Fortunately, Wu Man used the [Beast Language Ability] to provide timely support, control the situation, blow up the newly opened passage, and simply set up some minefields.
After the commando began to lose members, it seemed as if a curse had been activated.
Half-human mecha continued to die in battle.
After being surrounded, these fallen warriors would choose to charge forward with maximum thrust, using themselves to blast a passage.
There were no last words before death;
Nor was there any self-感动 speech;
It was as if they had reached a part of their destiny.
Wang Ji Xuan felt a little depressed.
The radiation from the nuclear battery self-destruction put some pressure on the special operations team members' full-coverage armor.
Wang Ji Xuan didn't say much. Relying on his spiritual sense, he carefully observed and studied the door. He already had full confidence in taking down this door.
He and Black Shell moved together.
Only when the two of them charged forward together could the battle line be advanced with higher efficiency.
One good news and one bad news came at the same time.
The good news was that the team left behind on the surface had found a vertical passage. They had already launched drill missiles, which could reach the pot lid area ahead of them.
They didn't need to detonate the nuclear bomb at close range, which would greatly improve efficiency.
The bad news was that Fortress 39 on Oriole Heights had been lost, and the Blade Beasts had broken into the middle city of the fortress.
The fortress was destroyed.
Red Serpent had withdrawn from the air. She was seriously injured and persevered until the last moment. Her vital signs had reached the lowest level.
...
[730 meters from the pseudo-Stargate]
After advancing more than 1,600 meters, five members of Sharp Knife 01 team died, and the rest were injured. Sharp Knife 01, 02, and 03 teams were integrated into one team.
They arrived at a pre-selected solid rock layer area and briefly prepared here.
The teleportation gate was diagonally below.
Peony led the Pinnacle Maid Corps, along with dozens of high-level mechanical bodies, to block the front and rear of the passage.
Wang Ji Xuan looked back. Of the more than 190 special operations elites, only less than 80 remained, and only 120 high-level mechanical bodies remained.
One of the three portable tactical nuclear bombs was lost in the passage. If it was difficult to recover later, it could be detonated directly.
"The drill missile will arrive at the hemispherical area where the Stargate is located in half a minute."
Black Shell said in a low voice.
The instructor cursed a few times and quickly ordered:
"I will open a radiation-proof force field later. After the explosion, those who can move will rush inside. The Blade Beasts will definitely rush in too, but there will inevitably be various collapses nearby."
"My mecha can drill into the ground."
"Wang Zheng, do you have any problems here?"
"No problem," Wang Ji Xuan responded simply, "I have a way to make it stop."
"That's good."
Black Shell instructed:
"Wu Man, be prepared. Your ability is to be used at this time. Later, we will have to buy time for Wang Zheng."
"The Blade Beast tide on the other side of the teleportation gate may surge back... Countdown, get ready to charge, Peony, you guys get ready to come back, each one costs more than my mecha... Three, two... Return!"
A missile drilled into the hall where the teleportation gate was located from the gap directly above.
Peony led the loyal wingman group to shoot backward at the same time, hiding in the corner.
The pre-buried high-performance bombs were detonated first, and the passage in front was deliberately blown up by them.
Black Shell's mecha turned sideways, transformed, and a huge drill appeared, unfolding a湛 blue force field!
Their various armors simultaneously activated all types of shields!
Suddenly.
Buzz—
The earth began to shake constantly, and the spherical structure began to collapse downward.
A strong electromagnetic pulse struck, and the lights on the high-level mechanical bodies were extinguished like candles, but the Pinnacle Maid Corps led by Peony were unscathed.
The underground was cleared, and the site was half-collapsed.
The Blade Beasts, who were prepared, sent out hidden drill worms from the distant strata, and they wanted to reopen the passage to the teleportation gate.
At this moment.
Wang Ji Xuan suddenly said in the command channel, accompanied by noise:
"Plan change, I will approach the teleportation gate myself first, you open the passage from behind, and race against time with the Blade Beasts... Rescue me."
"I have遁法, I can go directly."
"Peony, find my neighbor and record the melody I'm about to hum. If I fall into a coma, let her sing it repeatedly in my ear."
"Yes, sir, Peony will risk everything to save you back."
"It doesn't have to be that risky."
Wang Ji Xuan smiled, with determination in his eyes.
He didn't personally hear the terrified screams of millions of humans when the fortress was destroyed;
Nor did he hear the ponytail girl on the surface who was worried about him silently praying during the battle.
He now has only one thought:
Daoist said he wanted to blow up your teleportation gate, so he must blow up your teleportation gate!
Otherwise;
The Dao heart is not smooth, the mood is not smooth, and the thoughts are not clear!
Demon Subduing Art!
Soul Refining Curse!
Tens of thousands of Blade Beast wronged souls in front, all enter the poor Daoist's urn!
Black flames burned in the corners of Wang Ji Xuan's eyes!
Thought arises,遁生arises, a dirt yellow light wraps the X armor!
遁!
Yellow lightning shuttled through the underground!
He broke into the high-temperature, high-pressure 'stone hall' with clusters of light arcs and clouds, and most of it collapsed!
......
[43 meters from the pseudo-Stargate]!
The surrounding Blade Beast groups were rioting.
Black Shell, who had recovered its functions, began to frantically start its mecha. It was bound to open a passage to bring Wang Ji Xuan back before the Blade Beasts!
Wang Ji Xuan's figure floated, his hands raised high, and a black lotus bloomed behind him.
He hummed a simple melody, which was the Buddhist town魔song.
The black lotus rotated and expanded rapidly!
Boundless blue light spots gathered from all directions, and surging spiritual energy converged towards him.
The light film of the teleportation gate, a large number of Blade Beasts turned their heads, and tried to rush back in a series of咕咕 calls.
Take it from the Blade Beasts, then use it on the Blade Beasts.
Wang Ji Xuan's left hand fell flat, his fingers spread, and a giant shadow bloomed from the black lotus behind him.
[Wangxian Valley Secret Technique: Erlang Opens Mountain Visualization Map]!
The giant slashed an axe shadow forward!
Wang Ji Xuan moved forward!
He closely followed the axe blade phantom, and punched the core area of this door's spiritual energy flow!
Behind the armor, his eyes were tearing apart, his soul was on the verge of explosion, his body was full of bulging blood vessels, and the arm armor of the X armor almost burst!
The blood and soul of the millions of tragically dead mortals seemed to be burning in his body at this moment!
"Fuck you!"
