Chapter 526: Chapter 505: Just this...
The battle continues.
Even though the Baoxue Empire Army was prepared, it had no impact on the overall situation of the war.
They are elite, but at best, only at the same level as the warriors of the Great Xia Empire’s Polar Star Battlefield...
Their opponents, however, are the most powerful warriors of the Qisha Military District.
And after cultivating the unique martial skills of the Cuowu Sect and Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, a significant gap has emerged between them and ordinary elite soldiers.
Especially, the black armor they wear, though its stealth capability has been nullified, its defensive ability is still astonishing, as it originated from a Talent Source, definitely not an ordinary item.
Additionally, they had seized the initiative.
No matter how swiftly the Baoxue Empire Army reacted...
The advantage lost is not so easily regained.
Especially without the main commander in charge... Knowing that Xu Lingjun released more strategic tasks rather than battlefield commands, he believes more in letting professionals handle professional matters.
Therefore, his absence on the battlefield does not affect the combat power of the Baoyan Army Legion.
But without Carlos, the Baoxue Empire Army undoubtedly loses its soul and battlefield strategist.
Still, Carlos dares not move.
Only because opposite him...
The pressure, almost imperceptible but terrifying enough to keep him frozen in fear.
Carlos couldn’t help but swallow softly. For the first time ever, he felt the resurgence of a long-dormant fear.
Recalling the all-out punch he landed on his opponent earlier, not to mention rocks and metal, even hundred-refined weapons and armor would shatter to pieces under his fist.
Who else would know his prowess better than himself?
Yet his opponent stood still, taking the blow directly with his body...
And Carlos could even read the word ’disappointment’ in his opponent’s eyes.
What does it mean, does he think I’m too weak?
The opponent’s strength is probably even above mine. Though the face is obscured by black armor, the voice and movements reveal him to be a young man.
So young, yet so powerful...
Who could have imagined that outside the Three Great Empires, there lies such a formidable force within the Secret Realm?
He was careless, now... it seems there’s no way to escape.
"What are you hesitating for?"
Carlos hesitated, at a loss...
But across from him, Xu Lingjun gave him no time to contemplate.
The Baoxue Empire Army’s strength is far inferior to the Baoyan Army Legion, but with one advantage...
They possess a far greater number of Grandmaster level experts than the Baoyan Army Legion.
It’s inevitable, after all, the resources of a whole nation cannot be surpassed by the Baoyan Army Legion.
To prevent unforeseen incidents...
Xu Lingjun had no time for deep contemplation here.
Seeing the opponent unmoving, his figure turned into a rainbow, stretching sharply against the dark night, as Carlos felt an almost suffocating pressure descend upon him.
A palm slashed down.
Beneath the flesh palm, spiritual power leaked, yet it could be considered the sharpest divine weapon.
Carlos’ pupils contracted, feeling as though this move came not just from one direction, but swept in from all around. Escaping was out of the question, both feet rooted in the ground, wholly immobile.
No choice but to block.
Teeth clenched, gathering twelve measures of True Essence, fighting against the odds.
With a resounding explosion...
Carlos only felt golden stars dancing before his eyes, his arm tempered through countless trials fracturing bit by bit from the knuckle.
The strength of a single move established the stark contrast between strong and weak...
Meanwhile, Xu Lingjun was overjoyed.
A single move had killed the Grandmaster level expert responsible for transportation, but in truth, that Grandmaster expert was quite weak... perhaps inferior to even the weakest, slightly unwell Li Fufeng Xu Lingjun had encountered.
There was no basis for comparison.
But facing Carlos was different... his body absorbed the True Essence he unleashed.
Xu Lingjun could clearly sense the strength of the man before him, at least comparable to the Master of the Five Sects.
If it were before his breakthrough, defeating him might have required paying a steep price.
Like using some Qiantian Gang Qi technique...
But now, he only needed a casual punch.
Yet it left the opponent completely outmatched, and he even further sensed the wondrous usage of spiritual power.
With his attack unleashed, the spiritual power could disturb and exploit the surrounding Spiritual Qi, gathering it around the enemy.
The enemy might only feel the tremendous power of his strike, accompanied by an overwhelmingly terrifying aura, impossible to muster the will to dodge... but in truth, it wasn’t that he couldn’t muster the will to dodge, it was because the surrounding Spiritual Qi was entangled by his spiritual power, like invisible, untouchable ropes, tightly binding the enemy.
With just one strike, the marvellous usage of spiritual power was glimpsed.
Xu Lingjun joyfully laughed, "Good, soldier against soldier, general against general, let’s go again."
With that, he charged at Carlos once more.
Carlos dared not face Xu Lingjun head-on again and quickly retreated, only to find the air around him viscous. As his opponent’s offensive escalated... it seemed the whole world was against him, assisting the person in dealing with him.
With no other choice.
He could only support his injured body, engaging in entanglement...
But in just a few moves, Xu Lingjun directly dispatched him with a single blow, breaking who-knows-how-many ribs in the process.
