Chapter 442: The Hegemon's End

Wu Pifu continued to charge and slaughter. From the moment he stepped into Commorragh until now, he had been fighting non-stop for nearly ten hours.

And an hour ago, he had slain the Phoenix Lord who had been pestering him.

What a good warrior.

Wu Pifu sighed. If it weren't for the intense resentment on the Phoenix Lord's body, Wu Pifu would have even considered restraining his physical output to have a proper fight with him.

This was a true Grandmaster-level figure who had honed combat and killing skills to the peak. In terms of twin-blade combat technique, perhaps there had been no equal since ancient times.

Since slaying the Phoenix Lord, Wu Pifu had sensed that the true ruler of the city he was hunting was moving around rapidly. However, he had not run out of Commorragh and was still staying somewhere in the city.

This did not stump Wu Pifu. His martial intuition was an extraordinary power on the spiritual level. He was now very close to the realm of "the cicada senses the autumn wind before it moves," and these Dark Eldar, on the spiritual level... were all fucking trash!

To put it bluntly, in terms of spiritual will and the like, these Dark Eldar weren't even fit to carry the shoes of Space Marines. They were all weaklings in spirit and will, and the greater the gap on this spiritual level, the more sensitive Wu Pifu's martial intuition became.

The opponent... could not escape!

The army behind Wu Pifu had grown to nearly 500,000.

Among them were nearly 100,000 humans, including ordinary mortals who had been abducted to Commorragh. Of course, they were not ordinary; these people were basically strong and fit, because those who weren't had long since died in the torture of the Dark Eldar. These mortals were either elites from planetary defense forces, the Imperial Guard, or Rogue Trader guards. At this moment, they were all armed and following the commands of the Space Marines or the Inquisitors behind them.

Then there were the Space Marines. The number of rescued Space Marines was nearly a thousand, including veterans who had been trapped there for hundreds of years. Many were disabled, but their will to fight was as fierce as the scorching sun, especially after seeing large numbers of Space Marine brothers following along and Wu Pifu's god-like combat scenes. Even after being tortured for hundreds of years, they picked up their weapons again and, after simple prosthetic limb attachments by the Adeptus Mechanicus, stepped onto the battlefield once more.

Then there were 100,000 Eldar troops.

The Dark Eldar also tortured their own kind. Whether it was Craftworld Eldar or Dark Eldar, or even the occasional Exodite Eldar they found, they tortured them all the same. So, many Craftworld Eldar were found along the way, though the number certainly wasn't 100,000. These Eldar troops were Craftworld forces that had arrived from all over the galaxy after Yvraine Uthlan's team arrived, led by Farseers from various Craftworlds.

These Eldar troops gathered together, and their numbers reached 100,000.

Then there were over 200,000 Orks. This was the largest group. Most Orks were just ordinary Orks, but as they continued to fight following Wu Pifu, the more intense their "WAAAGH!" shouts became, the faster they evolved. Especially after watching Wu Pifu's exaggerated combat style—physically resisting warship-level macro-cannons and shattering fortresses with a broken blade—there were already no fewer than two hundred Ork Warboss-level individuals among them. Even the twenty initial guards beside Wu Pifu were nearly five meters tall, and their ferocious faces, with green skin and fangs, were slowly evolving toward a more human-like, more civilized appearance.

Finally, there were hundreds of Tyranids and tens of thousands of other humanoid or non-humanoid intelligent aliens. They were also swept up in this large army, fighting and charging, unable to care about anything else, only able to follow the main force forward.

This was just the main force following Wu Pifu. More slaves or gladiators who had been released were running around and killing everywhere, setting fires and blowing things up, causing chaos no less than the main force's assault and slaughter.

Just as Wu Pifu smashed another fortress into pieces and was about to continue charging forward, his heart stirred, and he stopped for a moment. Soon, the two Farseers, Elnoris and Uthlan, then the two Inquisitors, Anris Guss and Kethia, and the Grey Knight Grand Master and others rushed to the front of the battle line.

Uthlan was the fastest and said urgently, "Savior, we must be as fast as possible! The Four Gods have likely almost found the location of the Commorragh Webway. Not just us, but other Farseers and other powerful psychics in the team have felt unease. It is a precursor to the arrival of some higher-level power!"

The others nodded in agreement, each speaking of their own premonitions.

Wu Pifu's martial intuition also had a similar premonition. Danger was approaching, and it was a fatal threat.

However... to break the situation, he still had to kill!

Wu Pifu looked toward a certain place ahead and said, "So, to break through from Commorragh to the destination star system, have you found the Webway exit?"

Uthlan and Elnoris looked at each other. Uthlan immediately said, "This requires us to disperse manpower to search everywhere. Commorragh is the depth of the Webway and the convergence center of many Webway nodes. But because of distortion and concealment, each one is very hidden. There are exits leading everywhere, and many are traps and secret passages. We need manpower, a lot of manpower, not futile slaughter here with these Dark Eldar."

Everyone looked at Wu Pifu, and Wu Pifu shook his head and said, "No, it's not futile slaughter... The Webway node leading to the destination is at the target location. He is guarding that node. Unless he is killed, we cannot reach the destination at all."

Everyone was stunned. Uthlan was dazed for a moment and said, "Asdrubael Vect!?"

Wu Pifu and the others looked at him. Uthlan immediately explained, "The true master of Commorragh. He controls this city, ruling everything with conspiracy, calculation, violence, and bloodshed... Legend has it that he possesses many ancient Eldar artifacts. One of the artifacts has the effect of selecting a convenient and fast Webway exit, creating a temporary passage using other Webway materials. If there is an exit at the target location the Savior mentioned, this is the only possibility I can think of."

Everyone nodded. Uthlan immediately added, "At the same time, this artifact can also seal Webway exits in specific areas... In other words, if Asdrubael Vect really knows our destination, then he can make all our searches futile!"

Everyone's expressions were solemn, and they looked at Wu Pifu again.

Wu Pifu looked ahead indifferently and said, "I don't know. I only know that if I don't kill this target, I feel very unhappy, and we can't get out of the Webway."

Everyone was silent, then muttered the words "Divine Revelation."

At this moment, a five-meter-tall Ork looked at everyone with contempt. Only when looking at Wu Pifu was his gaze filled with fanaticism. He said in a rough voice, "Boss, should we keep killing?"

Wu Pifu didn't have any aversion to the word "Boss." On the contrary, he had a good impression of these straightforward Orks. He drew his blade and turned, saying, "Of course, we continue to kill forward!"

The Ork nodded respectfully, then quickly told the surrounding Orks the news. Soon, 200,000 Orks shouted in unison, each raising their weapons and roaring fanatically.

"WAAAGH!!"

"Super WAAAGH battle!"

"Even more super WAAAGH Chosen of Gork and Mork!!"

"Smash Commorragh, smash Commorragh!!"

Then, Wu Pifu was still the first to charge, carrying the broken blade and rushing forward to slaughter. Facing countless heavy weapons, he charged and slashed wildly, crashing into a large area of steel buildings ahead. Behind him, 200,000 Orks, 100,000 humans, 100,000 Eldar, and 100,000 aliens followed and charged. But before they could even get close, the steel buildings exploded and boiled one after another. They saw Wu Pifu constantly rushing out of air ripples and shockwaves, slaughtering a legion into collapse with the power of one person.

Everyone's eyes were filled with fanaticism. They roared and whistled, sweeping away everything, only caring about charging, charging, charging forward...

Time passed minute by minute. The psychics in the team felt more and more fear and oppression. A sign that some kind of storm was coming made many of them unable to help but cry softly.

And ahead, a huge moving black obelisk appeared. Countless powerful Dark Eldar vehicles, fixed artillery, floating fortresses, and dense regular Dark Eldar armies stood ready.

The target was inside this tower—the ruler of Commorragh, Asdrubael Vect, the mastermind who led the Dark Eldar to plunder the entire galaxy. He was inside this tower.

At this moment, boundless blood surged out from the tower. The blood even formed waves, boiling and clamoring. When Wu Pifu arrived in the distance of the black tower, all weapons were aimed at him. And when he charged forward as usual, a torrent of weapons capable of tearing the surface of a planet concentrated in front of him. In an instant, it formed an anti-matter storm and a black hole-like horizon. The crowd rushing behind only saw Wu Pifu submerged in this destructive weapon storm.

Everyone stopped their steps, everyone stopped their war cries. They looked at all this with an inexplicable expression.

A moment later, the torrent of weapons paused. Everything in the original place, including the ground, was wiped out. But Wu Pifu still stood in place, unharmed. He had been pushed back hundreds of meters by the torrent of weapons. The next second, he continued to charge straight at the black tower.

Everyone subconsciously wanted to cheer, but as Wu Pifu rushed forward, a blood-red giant sword slashed out violently from the sea of blood, striking the broken blade Wu Pifu was using to block. With a "pop," Wu Pifu was blasted away for nearly a thousand meters, and the owner of the sword also retreated hundreds of meters.

This was a magnificent giant nearly ten meters tall. Its body surface radiated blood-colored brilliance. It was humanoid, wearing blood-colored rune armor. Its face only had blood light shining, and its true appearance could not be seen. And when it appeared on the field, all life felt a thirsty desire for slaughter.

"Khaine! Summoning the Fragment!!"

A Farseer among the Eldar suddenly roared loudly.

There was chaos in the 500,000-strong team, mostly from ordinary mortals, Eldar, and aliens.

Only the Space Marines remained firm, while the Orks were eager to try.

At this time, a five-meter-tall Ork said in a rough voice, "Khaine? Daring to fight the Chosen of Gork and Mork, he's quite bold..."

Wu Pifu's spiritual sense had expanded to the maximum. His footsteps, which he had intended to rush forward, paused slightly, and then he looked at the Khaine fragment ahead with burning eyes.

Quite bold...

If a bystander thinks it's bold, does that count as having the attribute of boldness?
