Chapter 269

The mountain scenery was lush and green, coming into view.

This was the wilderness.

Looking around, there were towering mountains everywhere.

What made Jiang Jian's pupils shrink was

that at some unknown time,

a gap had actually split open above the firmament!

This gap spanned the firmament, stretching for an unknown distance.

Staring at it, one could only see the deep darkness within.

A terrifyingly cold aura seeped out from it.

Even though they were separated by thousands of miles,

it could make those who looked up at the gap feel their hearts trembling uncontrollably!

The roaring sound just now

was precisely the sound of the firmament being torn apart!

The identity device flickered slightly, and notification sounds rang out urgently!

Jiang Jian calmed his mind and opened the identity device.

A world communication was automatically opened!

The information within was short and clear.

The Demon Monarch Baxia had attacked again, using the great power of Mercury to pull an asteroid to strike the Earth's barrier!

Currently, it was known that seven cracks had appeared in the Earth's barrier, all of which had Mercury warships invading!

The Earth Alliance requested Earth citizens below the cracks to evacuate immediately.

And the Star-Governing Palace was organizing personnel to intercept them.

Finally,

it informed the citizens of the Surface Realm not to worry too much.

The Earth barrier could self-repair and return to its original state.

The cracks in the firmament would soon disappear.

Jiang Jian looked up at the deep gap in the sky, his expression solemn.

He had been transmitted to Chang'an Prefecture by the Yinshan Wonder Realm.

The reason it was interrupted,

causing him to fall halfway,

was precisely because the planetary barrier had suffered a violent shock, causing space to become unstable.

"What exactly did the Guiding Envoy see?"

Recalling the Guiding Envoy's expression,

Jiang Jian's heart became even heavier.

Boom!!!

The sound of an explosion in the sky rang out clearly!

At the crack in the planetary barrier,

a massive Mercury warship slowly sailed out!

The Mercury warship was truly too large.

Even though separated by a long distance,

under Jiang Jian's gaze, he could still clearly see its hull!

The Mercury warship sailed out of the crack, passed through the Earth's star ring, and with incredible momentum, blocked out the sky and sun as it descended rapidly!

Mercury living beings were coerced by Saturn.

Every time they attacked Earth, it was almost a suicidal attack!

This time,

the Demon Monarch Baxia used a hidden hand to strike the Earth's barrier and open a crack.

Its purpose

was to let these Mercury warships take advantage of the situation, disrupt Earth's spiritual essence, and cause more chaos!

"What exactly have the four realms of Earth and Moon prepared?"

Looking at the increasingly close Mercury warship,

Jiang Jian was somewhat speechless.

Above the firmament,

the Mercury warship was too huge.

Its speed slowed down, and it finally hovered in the air.

But on both sides of its hull, a full thousand cabin doors opened abruptly amidst the roaring sound!

Countless Mercury living beings swarmed out from within, forming tens of thousands of small teams.

They flew off in all directions!

Among them, several teams were driving small flying boats, constantly adjusting their direction in the air.

The direction they finally landed in was exactly the mountain foothills where Jiang Jian was!

On one flying boat,

the team members each held weapons, their expressions cold and stern, looking down at the land below.

"The planetary barrier can self-repair; we only have half an hour."

The captain said coldly, "If we don't kill a thousand people before the crack recovers, we will never be able to go back!"

Hearing this,

the other team members on the flying boat showed sorrow, and their weapons were gripped tighter.

Mercury was completely colonized by Saturn and could not resist its orders at all.

On the massive warship,

all Mercury teams were cannon fodder!

The Earth barrier was blasted with a crack.

These Mercury warships came fully loaded, taking the opportunity to enter the Surface Realm.

Their true purpose was to cause chaos!

Mercury living beings were different from Earthlings.

Their bodies were slender like grass.

Three meters tall, with limp arms.

Everyone wore specially made combat suits to help them adapt to the Earth environment.

"In the canyon below, there are 2165 living beings."

A team member landed beside the captain and raised his wrist.

A virtual screen appeared.

On the canyon map,

light spots were flickering frantically!

Another team member's expression changed; he waved his slender arms and said: "Other teams have already discovered this canyon!"

"We must hurry!"

The captain's tone was calm; he nodded and said: "Descend at full speed immediately!"

"Everyone activate the Spirit-Awakening Array, prepare to start the slaughter!"

"As long as we kill enough, we will have the qualification to return to the warship and leave Earth safely before the planetary barrier self-repairs!"

All team members stepped forward and responded in unison!

This team

had 7 members.

Their spiritual essence cultivation was all in the Spring Realm!

Saturn had even planted a "Spirit-Awakening Array" on the Mercury living beings.

This array harmed the enemy by a thousand and damaged oneself by eight hundred.

Once activated,

it could consume a massive amount of origin to erupt with incredible power!

"Captain, it's bad!"

Another team member stepped forward and said urgently, "The mother ship sent real-time information, detecting the Earth Surface Realm escort fleet rushing here at full speed!"

"We only have 4 minutes!"

Hearing this,

the captain's expression was gloomy; he roared: "Full acceleration! Accelerate the descent for me!"

Like this team,

from the Mercury warship, tens of thousands of teams descended in all directions!

At the same time,

Jiang Jian had already identified

that this place

was Mingque Mountain in the Baiye Prefecture.

"Why are you dazed here? Run!"

A tree monster uprooted itself, its voice muffled, and paused beside Jiang Jian.

Seeing that Jiang Jian did not react,

it sighed, shook its head, shook off a large number of leaves, and moved its roots like an octopus, taking steps to escape deep into the mountain foothills.

Jiang Jian regained his senses and looked up.

That tree monster was very tall, about ten meters.

Its demon power aura was very pure.

Clearly, since it was born, it had been cultivating in the mountains and had never gone out.

Clang!

The sharp metallic sound spread in all directions!

A flash of light was blinding.

It entered his pupils.

A Mercury living being held a long blade.

With terrifying speed, it descended from the sky.

It directly slashed the ten-meter tree monster into two halves from top to bottom!

Clatter!

Tree branches burst, flying leaves filled the sky!

It didn't even let out a scream.

Its origin was slashed to pieces, and it died on the spot!

The Mercury living being was expressionless, as if crushing an ant; its figure was like the wind, sweeping past, killing dozens of mountain monsters in the blink of an eye!

In less than a second,

the living beings around had been cleared away!

The Mercury living being held the long blade, its figure twisting and flying, slashing fiercely at Jiang Jian!

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing roared!

Sparks flew!

Jiang Jian's gaze was indifferent; he held the Autumn Water Sword, his snow-white sleeves fluttering, and slashed out a sword again!

Boom!

A scorching sword rainbow rose up, roaring past!

The sword momentum arrived.

On the wooden face of the Mercury living being, there was finally an expression.

Its eyes blinked rapidly, and its slender figure swayed like willow catkins, intending to dodge the sword energy!

However,

the Autumn Water sword rainbow slashed past coldly, as if it were everywhere.

It directly shredded his body!

The Mercury living being didn't even hum; it perished on the spot!

Countless fragments burst open!

"This Mercury living being doesn't seem to have truly died."

Jiang Jian looked at the fragments filling the sky, his eyes showing contemplation.

Mercury naturally had its corresponding "Earth Realm."

That was the place where living beings went after death.

Jiang Jian even speculated

that the reason Mercury living beings were fearless of death and willing to be vanguard cannon fodder

was that Saturn must have made some modifications to their "Earth Realm."

The other team members landed one after another.

Their gazes all looked at the captain.

"Such a godforsaken place actually has Earth geniuses."

The captain cursed secretly, but his face showed ferocity, and he said coldly: "If we don't kill enough people, we will die all the same!"

"If you don't want to suffer in the paintings,"

"then fully activate the Spirit-Awakening Array and fight for your lives with me!"

After these words fell,

all team members were solemn.

They burned their soul origin one after another.

The aura around them surged!

Not far away,

Jiang Jian was wearing a snow-white robe, holding the Autumn Water Sword.

Black light surged around him, and he took a step forward!

The next second,

black light emerged, intertwining rapidly.

Beside the captain, it turned into Jiang Jian's figure.

Spiritual breath surged around him.

With terrifying speed, he turned and slashed out a sword.

The sword light rose, scorching and roaring, crashing straight toward the captain's head!
