The previously high-spirited human battle group's vanguard plummeted from the sky, and their mid-to-high-level comrades behind them were in no better condition.
As the Sovereign's Blade emerged from the ground, reaping lives with a series of swift strikes, a peak Silver Rank 9 and several Silver Rank 8 powerhouses were instantly killed.
The few surviving powerhouses could only desperately try to salvage the situation.
"Fire Release!"
Suddenly, a massive fireball swept across the sky.
The sheer size of the blast caused a brief lull in the relentless barrage of attacks.
It was this brief opening that allowed one person to find a chance to survive.
"Giant Wood Wall!"
As soon as that person stood up, they immediately unleashed their combat skill.
Huge vines surrounded the group, forming a protective barrier.
But alas, if only he could have stood up sooner.
Of the original seven high-end combatants, two had already fallen to the Sovereign's Blade, and two more were on the verge of death.
The mid-to-high-level combatants fared even worse.
A wave of sneak attacks wiped out more than half of them.
The entire human force could go back and write a tearful history of their struggles against the Zerg.
To prevent them from uniting against him, Jiang Wang used the most vicious, effective, and shameless methods possible… leaving no stone unturned.
In the end, the humans suffered a fate of dying before achieving their goals, followed by despair, and finally, being crushed into ashes…
Inside the Zerg nest.
The Zerg were now more than capable of holding off the myriad races, and the humans had already been completely played and ruined.
Just when everything was developing in a positive direction, Jiang Wang suddenly became vigilant.
This feeling was never good; whenever you thought things were coming to a smooth conclusion, something unexpected would always disrupt your plans.
We commonly call it: a flag, sometimes also known as Murphy's Law.
At this moment, Li Qingshan, who was about to reach C2, stopped in his tracks…
"Are you sure you want to teleport over at this time?"
Li Qingshan looked at Zhao Heng with a solemn expression.
"Of course! Isn't this exactly the time for this daddy to save the world?!"
Zhao Heng said smugly.
"Alright, I won't stop you. There are only 48 minutes left until the core exchange. Remember the time! Zhao Liu, Zhao Ba, Zhao Jiu, you go with him! Remember, even if you die, the young master must not!"
"Yes!"
Three men with almost identical appearances stepped forward and responded in unison.
As the light of teleportation appeared near the human battle group, Jiang Wang knew that this matter was far from over.
The newcomers included not only Zhao Heng and his men but also the strongest fighter from A2, Shadow, and the strongest fighter from A1, Number Two.
The strongest fighters from the myriad races were also on this creep.
The famous scene that would normally only appear in the third stage was now gathered together because of one person.
This unprecedented event, unseen for centuries or even millennia, was actually happening now.
But it was not surprising, after all, no previous cohort had managed to obtain all seven unexchanged cores…
With Zhao Heng's arrival, the seriously injured Zhao Shiyi instantly rushed forward.
"Young Master! Waa…"
Zhao Shiyi's crying was truly heart-wrenching, mainly because the child had been tricked so miserably.
"Alright, alright, young master will avenge you right away… Your sixth brother and the others will go with you, you just go back and stay put, protect the strategist!"
With that, Zhao Heng got up and left directly.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish!"
Not only Zhao Heng, but Shadow and Number Two also quickly followed, transforming into shooting stars as they charged straight towards the Zerg nest.
Chapter 131: The Great Decisive Battle
Inside the Zerg nest, Jiang Wang looked at the menacing crowd and sighed.
"Alright, it's our turn to work this time."
Jiang Wang patted Alice on the shoulder.
There were differences even among those at the peak of their power. Some were only a step away from Gold rank, while others, although also at the peak, were only slightly stronger than Rank 9.
Zhao Heng and his group were not entirely useless to the Zerg; it was just that he didn't have time to continue researching a targeted unit, and the meager damage gained from a huge sacrifice was not worth it compared to fully intercepting the myriad races.
After the battle with the myriad races, Jiang Wang's strength should be on par with any of these peak Silver ranks, but with six of them coming at once, he didn't know if he could hold on.
Suddenly, Jiang Wang seemed to think of something and took two steps back.
In order for Alice to better exert her combat power, the Zerg did not absorb all the weapon-type spoils into energy but instead screened them and placed them in an armory.
It was the flash of dark light that had attracted him.
Jiang Wang walked straight towards the light.
"Clang, clang!"
After rummaging through the pile, Jiang Wang finally found what had attracted him.
A gauntlet similar to brass knuckles?
Jiang Wang remembered this weapon; it belonged to Cao Wu. Although Jiang Wang didn't kill Cao Wu, his equipment naturally remained after his death, and after several twists and turns, it ended up with Jiang Wang.
Looking at the dried bloodstains on it, Jiang Wang cleaned it and decided to try it on; it was better than nothing, since he also used his fists.
As he walked, he put it on. Looking at the simple, unadorned, and even somewhat ugly gauntlet, Jiang Wang envied Alice's long blade; for this kind of small-scale battle, a long blade was clearly more suitable.
"Tsk, I have to get Aunt Li Xue to teach me some other weapons later!"
In the Black Serpent Barracks, Aunt Li Xue, who was repeatedly reading a letter, suddenly sneezed…
Alice and Jiang Wang flew straight towards Zhao Heng's direction…
Now that things had developed to this point, everyone was at their wit's end, and Jiang Wang had nothing to fear.
The two stood 8888 meters away from the Zerg nest, not a meter more, not a meter less, for good luck.
"Alice? Are you afraid?"
"No."
"It's useless to be afraid; there's no turning back now."
Alice: …
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The sound of rushing wind grew closer and closer, then stopped in front of the two of them.
"You are Jiang Wang?!"
Before the person arrived, the voice came first. Zhao Heng questioned Jiang Wang in a condescending manner.
"No, you can leave."
Jiang Wang didn't humor this arrogant attitude. It wasn't the time to use his brain; it was better to enjoy the trash talk.
…
Zhao Heng didn't expect Jiang Wang to dare to ridicule him like this. He was already thinking about avenging Zhao Shiyi, and he immediately became furious!
"Then die!"
Jiang Wang didn't see when he drew his sword, but when Zhao Heng raised the gleaming long blade high, Jiang Wang felt immense pressure.
"Swish!"
The long blade came down straight.
Without any fancy moves, the attack was a killing blow.
In Jiang Wang's eyes, the long blade seemed like a huge mountain, pressing down hard, or like a light feather, no matter how Jiang Wang dodged, he seemed to be a step slower…
It seemed that only death awaited Jiang Wang…
"Sword intent has come out?"
Shadow looked at the faint aura surrounding the long blade and whispered in surprise.
But the next moment…
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out in the air.
Jiang Wang not only dodged at the last moment but even swung his hand and punched the blade.
The brass knuckles with spikes caused the entire blade to tremble uncontrollably.
"Pfft!"
Zhao Heng spat out a mouthful of blood. Jiang Wang's punch would have been better if it had hit him than the blade!
Just now, he had directly used his strongest strike, the domain of the sword and various enhancements were all added to the blade, even the trace of sword intent that he had only recently comprehended, but he didn't expect Jiang Wang to not only be able to dodge but also return a punch.
Jiang Wang was also covered in cold sweat at this time. If he hadn't forcibly used his mental power to break through that predicament, he would have been seriously injured even if he hadn't died.
Suddenly.
Alice behind him instantly pulled out her long blade and kept waving it, and the sound of metal clashing kept coming from the air.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
