Chapter 2239: The Might of a Single Spear
The slope was too gentle, the hill about three zhang high, exceeding his design.
Using elemental power like this still felt awkward, not very responsive.
Because the hill was high enough and the slope gentle enough, when the golden-horned rhino group crossed the third slope, they could still use the long slope for a running start to accelerate, launching a second charge at He Lingchuan, though their speed had slowed considerably.
A remark floated by He Lingchuan's side:
"Pointless!"
It was the Crimson General, no, it was Lady Lady Lady Mitian's complaint.
He Lingchuan scratched his head, using elemental power still felt clumsy and unsatisfactory, needing more testing and improvement.
Seeing the golden-horned rhino group charging head-on, the distance under sixty zhang, Lady Lady Lady Mitian strode forward, left hand outstretched, summoning the Ying Lei Spear.
The spear shaft coiled with lightning serpents, blue light crackling.
Immediately after, she assumed a standard starting stance and hurled it like a javelin.
Clean and sharp, without hesitation.
As soon as the Ying Lei Spear left her hand, it expanded—truly, it grew at the sight of wind. In the time of two blinks, it became a ten-zhang-long giant spear, the lightning serpents on its shaft turning into lightning dragons, horns and claws distinct, scales clearly visible!
The watching Panlong Army could feel its immense pressure just by looking up; the charging golden-horned rhino group sensed lightning flashing and thunder rumbling ahead, striking downward.
Moreover, no matter how the golden-horned general dodged and weaved, the Ying Lei Spear remained locked on target, unwavering.
With no retreat, the golden-horned general let out an angry roar, elemental power surging around its body, lowered its head, and charged.
Unable to dodge, it had to muster the clan's strength to topple this thing.
Everyone instinctively held their breath.
Then came a deafening "Boom—", a thunderclap on flat ground.
The electric ball ahead exploded, illuminating heaven and earth in blinding white.
Everyone turned away and shut their eyes, fearing blindness from the flash.
He Lingchuan turned back immediately, seeing the impact site of the Ying Lei Spear like heavenly thunder striking fire, a crater twenty zhang in diameter sunk into the ground!
The crater floor was scorched black.
Half the golden-horned rhino group lay at the bottom, half flung outward—clearly, their formation had been shattered.
Even two were hurled by lightning, flung into the Immortal Spirit Lake five zhang away.
Know that the smallest of them weighed seven thousand jin.
Most golden-horned rhinos were scorched black and immobile; at least four or five had their massive nasal horns broken and fallen, blood pooling on the ground.
This is because this golden horn is not only their strongest weapon but also their tool for transferring damage.
When they suffer severe impact, damage is automatically transferred to their hardest, toughest horn—like the cave spider queens, who can shift damage to their own eyeballs.
But Lady Lady Lady Mitian's lightning spear strike clearly exceeded the golden horn's capacity, even if all damage were shared among the herd,
thirteen golden-horned rhinos were still killed on the spot!
Including the golden-horned general, only three golden-horned rhinos could still breathe, though barely clinging to life.
The golden-horned general was the strongest, yet its body was scorched black, skin split and flesh torn. When it moved, the scorched skin peeled away, revealing dark red flesh beneath—a horrifying sight.
The Between Between Between Beijia soldiers watched its round belly heave continuously, its four legs kicking feebly on the ground, unable to right itself—truly a sight never before seen in such misery.
Know that the golden-horned rhinos, in formation with their thick hides, could not withstand Lady Lady Lady Mitian's single strike?
Know that the golden-horned general had 270 years of Dao cultivation, at least 200 years spent hardening this very armor—even if a specialty weapon were driven into it, it would only leave a white dot.
Moreover, it bore elemental power—Between Between Between Beijia's elemental power!
The might of Lady Lady Lady Mitian's single spear thrust—truly to this extent!
The audience of this scene, whether Between Between Between Beijia Army or Panlong Army, stood frozen, speechless for a moment.
Even He Lingchuan was secretly startled.
Panlong City had enjoyed three years of rare peace; the Crimson General had hardly ever taken the field—no one expected her first move to be such a world-shaking feat.
No wonder Lady Lady Lady Mitian wanted to descend fully incarnate.
The Crimson General's cultivation had advanced greatly; as a vessel, she was more than qualified.
He Lingchuan naturally would not miss such an opportunity, pointing his long spear at Wu Xian first, his voice like thunder:
"Kill!"
The Panlong Army shouted and surged forward in attack, morale high.
The Between Between Between Beijia Army reacted just as quickly—Wu Tongxian gave an order, and the troops rushed forward to shield the golden-horned clan's retreat.
However, since the golden-horned general led the clan in a failed breakout, the Between Between Between Beijia Army's original disadvantage of being split and flanked remained unimproved.
The Between Between Between Beijia Army's gaze toward the Crimson General involuntarily carried hesitation and awe.
That was the one who had felled the golden-horned clan face-to-face—even Between Between Between Beijia's demon army would unconsciously revere her.
At this moment, He Lingchuan thought: Lady Lady Lady Mitian just descended from the upper realm and unleashed such a mighty, world-shaking killing strike—is this the normal power of her true self descending, or is it meant to shock the battlefield?
Xu Shichu watched, his face growing even more gloomy.
Lady Lady Lady Mitian raised her hand, and the Ying Lei Spear returned to her grasp.
She took two steps back, walked to He Lingchuan's side, and said in an unyielding tone: "You go kill the Tushan God, or else everyone in the army will remain in peril!"
The spear tip pointed exactly at the red mist flashing thirty zhang away.
So, is the great name of that blood toad called the Tushan God?
He Lingchuan knew she wanted to use this order to send him away.
Obviously, Lady Lady Lady Mitian believed He Lingchuan bore a conspiracy and would threaten her complete divine descent, so she wanted to drive him far away.
The commander of the Panlong Army was still the Crimson General, and her order was reasonable—under everyone's eyes, He Lingchuan could not say, "No, I must stay by your side."
He could only exhale and nod in agreement: "Alright!"
Seeing He Lingchuan stride out, Xu Shichu approached and whispered: "General?"
Just like that? It's over?
He Lingchuan glanced at the Red General, then at Xu Shichu, patting his shoulder as if to comfort him: "Guard the Red General."
Having said that, he strode toward Hu Shi's direction.
Xu Shichu watched his back, thoughtful.
Lady Lady Lady Mitian, meanwhile, cast a glance at these two, his eyes icy and cold.
These two are Zhong Shengguang's confidants; they cannot be left alive.
Over there, Hu Yu still held the compass, tossing the Tu Shan God aside.
With yuan energy boosting him, his speed was indeed not slow, but alas, the Tu Shan God was the one leading the pack, able to change direction and turn at will,
and he also enjoyed the wind enhancement from the Xun Jade Maiden Goddess.
Being bested by Hu so badly, it dove into the Between Between Between Beijia army, leaving Hu Yan with no way to deal with it.
It had also considered ambushing Hu Shi, after all, this was also a major general beside the Tiger Wing General. However, Hu Shi had deployed the Xu Ling outposts, which kept a constant watch on his rear.
These two Xu Ling were forged from giant yakshas, their upper bodies immensely sturdy, while their lower halves were mere clouds of mist. One wielded an axe, the other a shield, circling behind their master; just moments ago, they had knocked flying two arrows aimed at Hu Shi.
The Tu Shan God twice tried to strike Hu Shi from behind, but both times were blocked and alarmed by the two Xu Ling.
Moreover, Hu Yan had several dozen skilled fighters behind him, all focused and ready; the moment it appeared, blades and axes would come down together.
