Chapter 699: Battle Outside the Second Defense Zone (3)

The Lava Demon General charged in the lead; its giant axe, composed of lava, burned with hellfire and slashed toward Aurelian with the power to tear the earth asunder!

"Worms! Turn to ashes!"

The Lava Demon General roared.

Aurelian did not dodge or evade, letting out a low growl.

"Purify!"

The Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in his hand, wreathed in blinding silver-blue psionic arcs, swung upward fiercely to meet the lava giant axe!

Clang—Boom!!!

A deafening sound of metal clashing was accompanied by a violent psionic explosion!

The Lava Demon General's heavy, powerful strike was brought to a dead halt, but the ground beneath Aurelian's feet instantly cracked and sank!

Just as the strength was deadlocked, Gadelion, who was entangled with the Shadow Demon General, seized the opportunity, raised the Heavy Incinerator Cannon in his hands, and a stream of holy flame instantly pierced the lava-flowing joint exposed by the Lava Demon General's full-force swing!

Crack!

The Lava Demon General's arm snapped at the sound!

"Roar! Detestable Human!"

It let out a painful roar as magma sprayed from the severed stump.

Aurelian seized the chance, and the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd, carrying the strength of his entire body, followed through with a swift, fierce thrust!

Pshhh! Boom!

The halberd blade pierced precisely into the Lava Demon General's core Furnace!

Violent purifying psionic energy was injected instantly! The Lava Demon General's massive body expanded violently and burst!

Scalding lava fragments and burning Mouneng wreckage splattered everywhere, burning the low-level Demons attempting to approach into ashes!

The Plague Demon General radiated a nauseating green light, brandishing a decaying giant sword and spewing a deadly, dark green plague mist capable of corroding Steel and souls as it surged toward Dregoen.

"Rot! Become my nourishment!"

The Heavenly Punishment Demon-Breaking Sword in Dregoen's hand traced a cerulean psionic light curtain before him, and he let out a low growl.

"Filth, dissipate!"

The moment the plague mist touched the Psionic Barrier, it made a "hissing" sound and was rapidly evaporated and purified!

The Plague Demon General's decaying giant sword followed closely, slashing down!

Dregoen nimbly dodged to the side; the blade grazed his Power Armor, kicking up a string of blinding sparks and nauseating corrosive marks, but the powerful protection of the Holy Shield Power Armor blocked it.

Dregoen's counterattack was extremely swift; the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Breaking Sword, wreathed in purifying psionic arcs, delivered a precise thrust aimed directly at the Demon General's heart, which was covered in pustules!

The Plague Demon General attempted to block with its giant claws covered in rotting flesh.

Pshhh!

The Heavenly Punishment Demon-Breaking Sword instantly pierced the rotting giant claw and, with momentum undiminished, drove deep into its chest!

"Ugh-ah—!!!"

The Plague Demon General let out a shriek so shrill it became distorted; filthy pus-blood and plague Black Qi gushed madly from the wound and its mouth and nose, attempting to contaminate Dregoen, but burned violently upon touching the psionic energy of the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Breaking Sword!

Cerulean purifying fire erupted from the inside out, completely burning this plague-spreading monster into foul-smelling flying ash!

The Shadow Demon merged into the churning Magic Cloud shadows, continuously releasing dark illusions and silent, soul-cutting Sharp Blades, aiming directly at Gadelion, who was providing fire support, and Saifulesi, who was responsible for the flank.

"Feel the embrace of the shadows!"

The cold voice echoed from all directions.

Saifulesi's Heavenly Punishment Halberd swept across, shattering several incoming Sharp Blades, but the illusions interfered with his perception.

Gadelion's Heavy Incinerator Cannon continuously spewed fan-shaped holy flames, dispersing the approaching darkness, but it was difficult to lock onto the cunning opponent.

"Target in stealth mode, psionic scan initiated!"

A blue light flashed in Saifulesi's helmet visor; his powerful psionic perception instantly pierced the illusions and locked onto the Demon General's true position during a brief moment of physical manifestation!

"Locked!"

Saifulesi growled, and the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd was thrown with the force of a thunderbolt!

The Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd, wreathed in purifying psionic energy, precisely pierced the Shadow Demon General's body as it attempted to turn ethereal again, pinning it firmly to the ground!

"No! This is impossible!"

The Shadow Demon General let out a terrified scream, struggling desperately, its body twisting and smoking violently under the scorching of the holy flames.

Gadelion's Heavy Incinerator Cannon immediately shifted its muzzle, "Purifying Flame!"

Boom!

A torrent of searing white holy flame instantly swallowed the Shadow Demon General, which could not break free!

The shadows wailed and evaporated in the holy light, leaving not even a trace behind!

In the brief moment that the three Demon Generals fell one after another and turned to ashes, Hudaiqiao's killing blow was already complete!

He ignored the deaths of his subordinates; his eyes held only Valantis!

The dark red ball of destruction energy condensing on the blade of his massive Battle Axe had already expanded to a heart-stopping degree, radiating psionic fluctuations that destroyed everything!

The air in the entire area was collapsing toward that energy ball!

"Die! Vile Human!"

Hudaiqiao's body moved with speed that tore through space, and the giant axe, carrying that ball of destruction energy, slashed down toward Valantis's head!

With this strike, it seemed as if space itself would be split open by this axe!

The look in Valantis's eyes beneath his helmet was grave to the extreme, and the psionic reactor inside his Power Armor emitted an overload-like hum.

He felt this world-destroying strike gathered by this Alien; he feared it would be difficult to block, but he absolutely could not retreat! As an Angel of Death for the Emperor, how could he possibly retreat! Only forward!!!

"Emperor's Light, protect my body!"

The battle cry Valantis let out!

He poured his Psionic energy without reservation into the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in his hand and the Psionic Shield on his body!

The Runes on the Holy Shield Power Armor shone brighter than ever before, and silver-blue Psionic Arcs leaped wildly around his body!

At the same time, he gripped the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd with both hands, pointing the blade directly at the core of Hudaiqiao's descending trajectory, preparing to use offense as defense for a final block!

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Great Demon's Battle Axe and Valantis's Heavenly Punishment Halberd collided violently like two meteors!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment!

The point of impact erupted with a light billions of times more blinding than a star!

A terrifying ring of energy, mixed with destructive black demonic flames, purifying silver-blue Psionic energy, and pure shockwaves, expanded wildly in all directions at a speed exceeding the speed of sound!

Wherever the energy ring passed, whether it was rock, metal debris, or low-level Demons unfortunate enough to be caught in it, everything was instantly vaporized and annihilated!

The ground was scraped away by several meters, forming a massive crater with Lava and crystals flowing along its edges!

The ground beneath Valantis completely collapsed and melted, and he was smashed into the boiling Lava, with only his upper body remaining above the surface!

His Holy Shield Power Armor was covered in spiderweb-like cracks, with many armor plates melted, twisted, and deformed, even revealing the flickering circuits and spraying Coolant inside!

A corner of his helmet visor shattered, revealing the tightly pressed, blood-seeping corner of his mouth behind it.

The Servo System in his arms let out a harsh, mournful sound, and the shaft of the Heavenly Punishment Halberd bent into a breathtaking arc under the immense force.

The blade of the halberd remained locked tightly against Hudaiqiao's Battle Axe, with silver-blue Psionic energy and dark red demonic flames violently annihilating and exploding against each other, producing a continuous, thunderous roar!

Valantis's entire body was trembling violently, clearly under unimaginable pressure, yet he still held firm against this world-destroying blow!

Although his Psionic Shield was dim and on the verge of shattering, it miraculously had not completely collapsed!
