"It's Lord Shitang, it's Lord Shitang who has co to save us! He hasn't abandoned us! We are not sacrificial pawns! Our sacrifices are worth it!" Kodwen looked at the figure that had landed in front of the enemy army. Even though the person had changed their appearance, the unique appearance of the cha still allowed him to instantly recognize the individual. Having already prepared to perish along with the enemy, tears uncontrollably stread down his face from the overwhelming excitent, not rely because he glimpsed a chance to live but also from the heartfelt recognition and respect he felt.
"Lord Shitang? Who is Lord Shitang?" Many of the old soldiers from other refuges on the city wall looked at the Legion Commander's agitated appearance and asked blankly.
"He's the ally from another dinsion, it's because of him that we could launch this counterattack!" explained a well-inford soldier beside him, wildly gesticulating: "All the artillery support we've received was provided by him!"
"Then we're saved! We don't have to die?" Though they were determined to die, who wouldn't want to live longer? Hearing there was hope of survival, the Demon Race soldiers on the city wall imdiately began to stir and cheer.
"But there are over three thousand on the other side, can he, can he manage?" soone among the soldiers hesitated as he looked at that figure.
"He can!" Kodwen swept the tears from his old face, taking a deep breath and shouted loudly: "He can definitely do it! I have witnessed him accomplish one impossible feat after another, but we cannot just rely on them, brothers! A warrior dies for the one who appreciates them! When they do not regard us as disposable and think of coming to save us, can we stand by idly and do nothing?"
"No, we can't!" The remaining soldiers on the city wall raised their longswords in unison and echoed.
"Then let's give these old bones one last fight, and join in leaving the city to fight alongside my lord!" With that, Kodwen leapt off the city wall, and the other Demon Race soldiers shouted loudly as they followed him one after another.
However, Pei Yan did not give them a chance to make a move. Just as Kodwen set his feet on the ground, he felt the earth begin to shake violently. He and his subordinates could not maintain their balance and fell to the ground one after another. When Kodwen stabilized himself and looked up, a scene that would be etched in his mory forever unfolded before him.
He saw Pei Yan with both hands on the ground, the entire earth distorted by an external force as the Red Armored Warriors stumbled and fell. This was not the end; before the enemy troops could readjust and prepare to fight, a strange suction force lifted them along with the overturned soil and rocks into the sky.
Seeing one Red Armored Warrior after another in midair, helplessly flailing and screaming, as they rged with the soil into a continuously expanding sphere, all the Demons present remained open-mouthed in shock, at a loss for what to do.
"The battle here is over, you can return to the center army to regroup with the main force; I'm heading to take care of the final problem."
Under the shadow of the mountain-sized giant sphere, Kodwen looked up at the silver figure who said this and shouted with admiration: "My lord, what is this technique called? Tell , so that I can speak of it to others and carry forward your renown!"
Pei Yan, standing atop the enormous spherical mound, chuckled: "This move was originally from a manga—or rather, an ancient book—I tried it out and unexpectedly it really worked. If you ask what this move is called, well! This move is called Earth-Bursting Celestial Star!"
"Earth-Bursting Celestial Star! Earth-Bursting Celestial Star! Lord Shitang, I've rembered it, after today, this move and your fa will surely spread throughout the land!" Kodwen repeated the na several tis, then knelt on one knee and bowed reverently.
Pei Yan waved his hand and gracefully departed with the sphere; he didn't care if the move would make him famous, for after today he had to return this ability to Xia Yu and wouldn't be able to use it again.
When Pei Yan swiftly returned to the battlefield with the giant sphere and saw the situation on the ground, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. Unlike his own triumphant showcase of power, Lelajin was in utter disarray, flustered amidst his intervention after rescuing Elder Lin and others. The entire investigation office's upper echelons surrounded Lelajin in turn, despite Lelajin possessing dual source energy and a superior realm, he could barely manage to cope.
"Move aside, leave him to !" Shouted Pei Yan as he charged into the battlefield with the large sphere.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the field halted and stepped aside for Pei Yan, clearing a path for him. Looking at Pei Yan approaching, Lelajin's eyes widened in fury, anger turned to laughter: "Good! Good! Good! Today I misjudged, didn't expect you, a re worm, to turn the tide, brat, this isn't your own power, aren't you afraid of the backlash from drawing on unconventional ans for power?"
"I think soone who discarded their own family for power isn't qualified to say that to !" Pei Yan snorted coldly, retorting.
Lelajin's expression stiffened at his words, his face quickly sank into malice and resentnt, he spouted venomously: "Whelp, do you think I'm afraid of you? Perhaps today I've lost the opportunity to win, but claiming a few of your lives and making you pay for your words isn't an issue!"
As he spoke, Lelajin began searching amidst the crowd, and as soon as he locked eyes on Elder Lin, his shoulders shifted to launch an attack.
"Pause the cara!" Having absorbed the abilities that Ye Jiumu bestowed upon Xia Yu, this technique that would have exhausted Ye Jiumu had now beco second nature in the hands of Pei Yan, who had reached the pinnacle of the ninth awakening stage.
Not bothering to appreciate the look of shock and fury on Lelajin's face as he was immobilized, Pei Yan snapped the giant sphere tipped with over three thousand Red Armored Warriors' corpses forcefully at him, deliberately steering the large sphere to propel Lelajin's body towards the depths of Snow Peak Ridge rapidly.
A mont later, with a resounding crash, a cloud of dust surged in the distant sky.
"Such an attack probably won't injure him!" Samikina, who had suffered so repercussions from forcefully halting the Secret Technique and was now more aged than before, frowned and weakly comnted.
"I transford the soil during its course here, let show you what the real Earth-Bursting Celestial Star is: TNT!" said Pei Yan, snapping his fingers mimicking Liang Qian.
Boom!
At the mont his finger snapped, a blinding light akin to a rising sun erupted within the dark Snow Peak Ridge, dazzling white light that nobody dared to behold directly with their eyes, followed by an explosive sound that reverberated for miles, an apocalyptic wave of heat carrying blasted rock and mud swept outwards.
At the foot of the mountain, countless soldiers of both celestial and demon races who had just struggled out of the avalanche had barely regained their footing, only to be knocked over again by the violent tremors of the earth, then blasted into pieces and flung skyward by the incoming shockwave and heat.
Standing on the city wall, in the process of clearing the battlefield and preparing to lead his troops to regroup with the center army, Kodwen observed the celestial phenonon in the distant sky and earth, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "This is the power of the Earth-Bursting Celestial Star?"
