Do we have some deep grudge against him? Has he been driven to burn his immortal body just to fight us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the battle began, their entire team had already lost every World Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now the other three were fleeing in panic—logically, even if this human immortal refused to spare them, all he needed to do was keep chasing; there was no reason to burn his immortal body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Hou -ranked immortal burning his body to fight a mere Junior Army Lord? It was like using a planet-destroying cannon to strike a novice martial artist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regaining his senses, the Qiujiahou immediately fled in the opposite direction, abandoning all attempt to block Lu Qing, who now burned his immortal body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in his burned state, Lu Qing’s power could surge a hundred or even a thousandfold—he could annihilate him with a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! Seventh Brother is in danger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two Qiujiahou immortals reacted entirely differently upon seeing Lu Qing burn his immortal body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One instantly detonated part of his divine body to accelerate his escape, while the other charged straight toward Lu Qing, determined to shield the Qiujiahou leader’s retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the Xuan Kong squad also turned pale upon seeing Lu Qing burn his immortal body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lei Bao, don’t be reckless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Xuan Kong Hou  immediately sent a mental message to Lu Qing and ordered: “Everyone, move quickly—end this battle now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the void, Lu Qing, in his burned state, radiated an aura far stronger than Xuan Kong Hou , who possessed Senior Hou -level power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perish!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qing fixed his gaze on the Qiujiahou immortal ahead, pouring his burning immortal power into the Purple Thunder Sword in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blindingly brilliant purple sword light shot through the air; merely brushing against the Qiujiahou immortal who had turned back to rescue his leader, it obliterated him completely, then continued unimpeded toward the Qiujiahou leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t dodge—only stand and endure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the terrifying power within that brilliant sword light, the Qiujiahou leader knew instantly: “It’s over—I’m dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My clan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My family, my master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forgive me—I can no longer avenge you or rebuild our tribe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of sorrow passed through the Qiujiahou leader’s mind, then was swallowed by boundless fury: “Human Hou , you want to kill me? Then I’ll make you pay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Explode!” The Qiujiahou immortal chose self-destruction in his final moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose self-destruction in his final moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, attacks result in mutual energy annihilation—like how Lu Qing earlier destroyed eight percent of this Qiujiahou leader’s divine body, a process with little visible effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if one abandons resistance and chooses self-destruction, the entire immortal becomes a burning Divine Source Crystal, unleashing unimaginable power in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qiujiahou leader’s remaining ninety percent of his divine body detonated at once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his companion had abandoned him upon seeing Lu Qing burn his immortal body, this Qiujiahou immortal still hoped his explosion would aid the other’s escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, their entire tribe might now be reduced to just these few survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one remained alive, their tribe still held a sliver of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Qiujiahou leader choose self-destruction, Lu Qing immediately retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Senior Army Lord’s self-destruction could kill a Junior Army Lord and severely wound a Senior Army Lord!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if a Senior Army Lord stood at the epicenter, he too might perish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such an explosion posed little threat to a Hou -ranked immortal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qiujiahou leader’s explosion shattered space for thousands of kilometers; the shockwave surged like a tidal flood over Lu Qing’s divine body. His Cocoon Shell Armor flickered, then his entire divine body exploded—only to reform moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the rest of the Xuan Kong squad swiftly killed the remaining fleeing Qiujiahou immortal, completing the cleanup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the explosion’s ripples faded, the Xuan Kong squad quickly gathered around Lu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lei Bao, you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Thunderstorm Hou  was about to speak, Captain Xuan Kong Hou  cut him off: “The battle is over—collect the spoils and leave quickly.
