Chapter 317: I lied to you

In the distance, a roaring sound rang out.

At this moment, as the wonderful metamorphosis spread from his soul, the incomplete giant laughed wildly, raised his head, and looked at his greatest benefactor, the culprit of all this—Ji Jue!

The killing intent was ferocious.

He just reached out casually, pulling a sword of iron and stone tens of meters long from the earth's veins!

Amidst the roaring earthquake, he galloped over—

At that very moment, above the firmament, as the rain fell and the dark clouds gradually dissipated amidst the gale, brilliant and dazzling light appeared on the pitch-black night sky.

So gorgeous, so numerous...

So much so that it was impossible to distinguish between the flames and the stars.

Amidst the dim stars, more glorious flames rose, soaring in the firmament, circling and winding, dragging out one shining arc trajectory after another.

It was as if the sky were rotating.

"From the Kunwu Plateau to the nearest coast, it's only a little over a thousand kilometers. By airship, it takes four hours; driving in a straight line takes a whole day; if walking, maybe five or six months to a year.

But for a hypersonic missile, it only takes ten minutes...

Or even shorter."

At this moment, the stars of steel were riding above the storm, looking down at the earth tearing through the dark clouds, having waited for a long time!

More than ten minutes ago, when the blood rain went out of control, the Nether Sea worm appeared, and it broke through the natural disaster blockade, the signal had already been transmitted amidst the storm.

Even the gale, rain, and electromagnetic interference covering most of the Federation could not block the most primitive and simple beacon guidance. The speeding signal flares broke through the blockade of dark clouds and thunder, exploding abruptly; one after another, the lights flickered, bursting with fierce light, all captured by the satellites looking down.

In just a few seconds, the intermittent lights converted into binary signals, activating the instructions that had been prepared long ago.

Immediately, in the coastal area closest to Kunwu, amidst the surging waves and the restless sea, a mighty roar came from the thick fog.

The massive cargo ship that had been waiting for a long time sailed out of the thick fog, and then, breaking its shackles, the top-layer containers fell off one after another. In the seawater, countless rubber ducks and toys drifted and rose and fell, disappearing. And right beneath the containers, what rose were one missile launcher after another like a forest, turning angles, adjusting directions; one green light after another lit up on the indicator gauges.

And inside the ship's hull, countless mercury operated under the command of the Workshop Spirit, and hundreds of mechanical arms coordinated work with the transport system.

Just like what Isis said when she said goodbye—from the first day Ji Jue left, the relocation of the workshop had already begun, and periodic reports would be sent to Ji Jue's mailbox for review. Now, it was finally a complete success.

In just a few days, the entire workshop had been moved to the swaying Prosperity in the sea, and the former cargo ship, under the transformation of Alchemy, had become a genuine ultra-long-range fire launch position!

At this moment, it was executing the instructions from the Creator.

All missile types prepared, launch immediately!

Blanket strike, until the inventory is exhausted!

With the permit signed by Lu Yingyue, the missiles moved car by car from the warehouse of the Haizhou garrison base now rose into the air like stars!

Hundreds, thousands, converging into a torrent, just like countless stars of steel rising abruptly from the dark deep sea, returning to the high heavens!

Rampaging and speeding above the ten-thousand-foot dark clouds, mighty and grand, heading toward Kunwu.

And at the same time, a permit for artificial rain dispersal had already been uploaded to the observation centers along the way. When countless missiles disguised as rain-inducing shells passed through the territory, all the radars along the way were as dead as could be, with no response at all.

In the lounge of the Zhongcheng Security Bureau headquarters, the old man hung up the phone, yawned listlessly, and didn't care at all.

Fight, fight!

After flipping the table, even the garrison airships could be blown up, and they even dared to take out Sin-Tainted natural disasters to use—so what if there were a few more missiles now?

Just over ten minutes later, as the dark clouds across the sky dissipated, the light of destruction descended from the revealed dark night sky!

In the midst of running, the giant raised his head sluggishly.

He froze in place.

It was as if he couldn't react—

Finally, he looked back at Ji Jue in the distance.

Ji Jue was also looking at him.

Finally, he raised his water cup, as if practicing a farewell.

He said, "Goodbye."

——Boom!

A fierce light descended from the sky, flames spreading, rising, evaporating massive amounts of blood color, and stomping a scorched red crack out of the earth.

Rolling thick smoke rose into the sky, and the tyrannical air wave, carrying massive amounts of metal fragments, completely swallowed that figure.

A furious roar rose from the flames; the giant reached out, abruptly catching the missile descending from the sky, crushing it. An iron wall rose from the ground, resisting the impact outside, but immediately after, the iron wall collapsed and dissolved abruptly.

Another fierce light descended, then another, the third, the fourth, the fifth...

After the heavy rain ended, the heavy rain began again.

Only, what composed it was no longer rain mist, blood, and wailing, but pure metal, fire, and extinction. Countless fine Sin-Tainted metal fragments shot out, spread, pierced back and forth, and strafed. Time and again, they crushed the reshaped defenses.

Amidst the earth-shaking, the roaring sound erupted again.

That blurred figure roared, throwing the iron-stone sword at Ji Jue, but after leaving his hand, it deviated from its direction amidst the explosions and impacts. Even if he lifted a large piece of ground to put on his body, the suddenly solidified iron-stone could not resist the impact of the explosion at all, not to mention that it was mixed with countless blade fragments inside.

After one round of heavy rain, there was another round of heavy rain; after one round of destruction, another round of destruction followed immediately. Among them were mixed a large number of Sin-Tainted weapons made by Ji Jue himself, with aberration and pollution spreading, eroding the soul that had just transcended the mortal world.

At this moment, even constructing an Encircled Realm was powerless.

Even though it was less than ten kilometers away, it was as if it were from hell to the human world, so distant.

Even though he hysterically threw over super-dense matter, it was difficult to hit the target, and even if it did, it was resisted by the giant shield raised by the Longshan armor.

The Chosen One of the Transcendent Rank, formed by quantity, was now rapidly cracking under a greater magnitude, and it was even difficult to maintain his body.

When he instinctively wanted to dive into the earth, he discovered that at this moment, beneath the ground, Ji Jue had already laid down countless obstacles and interference while the blood rain was still present. The restless mountains and earth veins had already broken free from control and could no longer respond to his call; moreover, under that malice that had been buried long ago, they were faintly hostile to him!

"Too early."

In the scorching gale blowing toward his face, Ji Jue sighed softly: "Originally, I planned to drag it out a bit more, endure a bit more, and attract a few more blind goods, and then wipe them all out in Haizhou.

Now it seems, I'm afraid no one dares to come again.

Forget it, earlier is better."

He shrugged indifferently, "Lest there be many nights and many dreams."

Boom!!!

Amidst the heavy bombardment and flames, the outline of a giant appeared again.

Soul burning, sacrificing oneself!

Gao Yue Chen roared, no longer caring, spreading his arms; the incomplete Encircled Realm that had not been constructed was forcibly expanded from around his body.

In the Encircled Realm, which was only a few meters wide, faint phantoms of mountains appeared, constantly showing cracks under the earth-shattering blows, which could be called wretched.

But it bought a crucial moment of breathing.

In front of the headless giant, crystals like eyes burst with blood light, locking tightly onto Ji Jue's direction, exhausting all his strength, spraying flames, just like an explosion, turning into a meteorite, ejecting himself.

The iron-stone sword condensed again, endlessly collapsing and condensing, turning pitch-black, fully displaying tyranny.

After forcibly welcoming those dozen or so explosions descending from the sky, he exhausted all his strength, and without any more scruples, galloped over!

Since I can't win, then, let's perish together!

"Brother Ji Jue——"

Before that, An Ning's hair had already stood on end, her intuition warning her.

But a hand pressed on her shoulder.

"No matter."

Ji Jue still sat in place, without any movement.

But the incomplete Longshan armor had already walked out from behind An Ning, staring coldly at the giant rushing over from hell!

At the moment of the impending collision, Longshan took a step forward.

A flash of residual light!

When brushing past, the Pan Ying sword, which had restrained all blood light and was plain and unadorned, swung out, cutting off the iron-stone sword that was slashing down with a light touch, then swept past the giant's chest.

Finally, it returned to the scabbard.

Smooth as flowing water.

It was just a momentary confrontation; that incomplete armor still stood in place, without any wavering.

Only a storm like burning surged and spread.

The torrent of shattered iron and stone had already sped past Ji Jue's side, uncontrollably collapsing, unstoppable, rolling, and hitting the mountain body that had been broken at the waist, plowing out a deep and desperate gully.

Nine fathoms of mountain, falling short of success.

"What a pity."

Ji Jue lowered his eyes, looking at the water cup in his hand covered in dust and gravel, and sighed with regret: "I haven't finished drinking yet."

In his eyes, the faint light extinguished silently.

At that very moment, the Han Xiang Mirror reflected again, looking down at everything—the countless cracks on the Encircled Realm, the intermittent flow of spiritual quality, the riddled body, the weaknesses that could not be hidden, and even the soul nearing collapse, all fell into Ji Jue's perception...

Clear as fire.

All he needed to do was to add the last insignificant straw to the dying camel in the most appropriate place.

After one sword strike, the dying giant was cut in half at the waist!

After the brief joy and beautiful dream shattered, death arrived...

Under the gully, rock fragments crumbled and peeled off from the giant's residual body, revealing that incomplete face. Gao Yue Chen was breathing violently, struggling, but could no longer feel the response of the mountains or the existence of his limbs.

Only footsteps gradually rang out, so soft.

That blurred figure gradually became clear.

Ji Jue.

"You... exactly..."

Gao Yue Chen murmured hoarsely, staring fixedly at the face that had crouched down and leaned in, but ultimately had no strength to raise his hand again. Finally, there was only a self-deprecating sigh: "I underestimated you after all... losing is not unjust."

Ji Jue did not answer.

From beginning to end, that face had no expression, cold and calm.

Without any wavering.

He just raised his left hand, which still had some sensation, and then, a finger slowly pointed out, pressing on the shattered heart, sending out a wisp of spiritual quality, vibrating and setting off waves.

Dissociation Technique!

Immediately after, the matrix collapsed, the blessing dissipated, and in the burned-out soul, the final spiritual quality evaporated, returning to the mountains, never to be seen again.

Until the last breath completely dissipated, Ji Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief and struggled to support his body.

No way, the life of the Ruined Realm was really too hard; he hadn't expected that a dozen missiles wouldn't be able to kill him, and that even with a shattered soul he could still breathe, and that he would have to come and make one last strike himself.

Wait, did he say something just now?

Didn't hear clearly.

He shook his head, shaking out the dust and small stones that had fallen into his ears during the gale, and his ears were still buzzing.

Looking back now, looking at the unrecognizable mountains, the bloodstains and scorched earth remaining on the ground. Amidst the blood-stained mud, the remaining flames were still burning fiercely, and thick smoke rose from the Sin-Tainted aberrant corpses.

Such a scene was really... refreshing!

"Hoo——"

He let out a long breath and sighed naturally: "What a hearty and thorough duel!"

"Ah!!!"

A scream rang out, not far away.

An Ning was dumbfounded, finally reacting sluggishly, in disbelief: "You, you didn't say you couldn't move?"

"Hmm? Did I say that?"

Ji Jue tilted his head in confusion, thought for a moment, appreciated her angry appearance, and suddenly laughed.

Filled with joy.

"I lied to you." ===== CHAPTER 318 =====
