Chapter 873: It’s Actually Him (1)
Li Xiaofei’s appearance was an unexpected variable. Or more accurately, the emergence of the Emperor’s Blood-Drinking Sword on this battlefield was the true variable.
He grew fiercer with each battle. If, at the beginning of the battle, the power of the Blood-Drinking Sword was only at the peak of the Six Gods Realm, then in less than three hours, after drinking deeply of blood and continuously absorbing energy, its might had already ascended to the pinnacle of the Seven Transformation Realm.
At such a level of cultivation, every strike carried immense destructive force. Whether he faced high-tier beasts or advanced battleships, even if they were at full operational capacity, neither thick hide nor energy shields could withstand a single strike from Li Xiaofei’s sword.
One by one, the human powerhouses began to gather behind him. It wasn’t out of cowardice or a desire to steal credit. Rather, it was a strategy born from countless battles.
Following behind the strongest was like marching behind the tip of a spear. As long as the spearhead remained unstoppable, they could inflict maximum damage and destruction upon the enemy.
Moreover, morale and formation were of critical importance on any battlefield. The spearhead tactic could strike at enemy morale and break apart their formations. And indeed, it proved highly effective.
Li Xiaofei’s unstoppable advance caused a growing unrest to ripple through the seemingly endless ranks of the Reaper army. To humanity, the Reapers were savage and deadly. They were symbols of cruelty and death.
But they were still living beings, made of flesh and blood. Under the threat of absolute death, aside from the most primitive beasts, even Reapers would feel fear and panic. Thus, the tide of battle gradually began to shift.
“Who is that man?” Inside Stargate Base’s command center, Commander Xiao Shi of the Battle Division couldn’t help but ask aloud, watching as Li Xiaofei swept through the enemy ranks like an invincible god of war.
The combat strategists around her all shook their heads. There was no intelligence on him whatsoever. What they could confirm, however, was that this man did not belong to the military.
“Truly, the heavens bless our people.” Xiao Shi was both surprised and overjoyed.
This sudden, large-scale battle had been nothing short of a catastrophic disaster for the Xiao Shi Battle Division. It had erupted without warning and had far exceeded the region’s mobilization threshold.
