Chapter 368 - 374: Mission Accomplished
"Did it blow them up?"
The power of the self-destructing giant ants was astounding.
These were dozens of automatic tracking bombs capable of burrowing into the ground!
If used for assassinations, it’s truly indefensible and highly effective!
At least at the current stage, no human can withstand an attack from ten to twenty self-destructing giant ants in a single wave and survive.
Of course.
Summoning giant ants comes at a cost.
This explosion, while satisfying, was not without significant consumption.
Hang Yu would not squander such resources unless absolutely necessary.
The reason he started with such ferocity was partly because the base was too important to lose, and to avoid prolonged trouble, he had to adopt this aggressive method of attack.
More importantly, according to the information received, Basha’s power was overwhelming. In the Spirit Realm, he was close to a Great Lord level. Although he had not fully recovered, his level was at least thirteen.
What kind of existence is a Great Lord?
At this level, it generally represents an Overlord rank!
Basha had more than one Third Tier inheritance and even possessed Fourth Tier skills. He might even have Fourth Tier inheritance abilities, making him an opponent not to be underestimated, requiring full effort.
"Oh no, boss, something seems wrong." Er Gou continuously used his dog nose to investigate: "They are indeed inside, but their aura hasn’t dissipated. It seems they weren’t killed by the explosion!"
"How’s that possible?"
Everyone on the scene was shocked.
Such an intense explosion didn’t kill them?
Xu Tianhua gripped his giant sword, "These Spirit Realm people are extraordinary, prepare for battle!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The flames of Spiritual Energy seemed to be cut through.
Dozens of water blades flew towards them at incredible speed.
Everyone hurriedly evaded, the water blades could shoot out over a hundred meters, slicing through everything in their path, whether it was warehouse facilities or sturdy fishman structures, just like tofu.
One blade targeted Su Yunbing.
Being a Spiritual Professional, her agility was lacking, and the water blade was too fast to dodge.
Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau agent Liang Dong quickly raised a giant shield, then activated an Innate Skill, summoning a glowing circular Light Shield barrier that seemed to have some attracting force, diverting the water blade from its original trajectory to strike the shield, instantly cracking it.
The giant water blades gathered behind them.
A tall figure emerged.
It was the Sharkman Basha.
Two high-level fishman figures emerged from the flames, surrounded by lingering shield glows.
"They just activated a blue-quality defensive skill scroll, no wonder they could offset most of the explosion’s damage." Hang Yu commanded, "Bai, Dog, Teacher Su, I’ll leave these two fishmen to you."
"Sharu really colluded with the human race!" Basha angrily said, "Kill them!"
The two high-level fishmen were about to strike.
Su Yunbing’s eyes flashed with an enchanting light.
This light reflected into the eyes of one of the fishmen.
He appeared momentarily dazed, raising his magic staff and launching a skill at his companion beside him. His strength was formidable, so he quickly broke free, realizing he hit his companion, "Not good, this is... a Charm skill!"
The giant ant’s Spiritual Whip caused a brief dizziness.
Hang Xiaobai seized the opportunity to use "Exile in the Illusion" to immobilize him.
Er Gou howled, swiftly transforming and pouncing, pinning the fishman down.
They were very strong!
These people were no ordinary opponents!
Basha saw his two subordinates instantly subdued, almost unable to fight back, while the opposing side had merely two people and two Spirit Beasts, with the others clearly targeting him.
Not good!
I’m afraid I can’t match them!
Basha hadn’t expected so many formidable figures to emerge from the human race!
They had only been in contact with the Spirit Realm for a little over two months but were already more formidable than many locals who had lived for over a decade; such growth potential, even for a descended race, seemed exaggerated.
Though Basha was confident in his own strength.
But after all, he hadn’t fully recovered to his peak, and besides, it was a gang fight situation.
As long as the green mountains remain, there’s no fear of running out of firewood. Basha’s body began to liquefy, transforming into transparent water, and this water mass seemed to have consciousness, attempting to merge directly into the ground.
"Don’t let him escape!"
Hang Yu recognized it.
This is the Fourth Tier skill ’Water Body’!
Its effect is powerful, temporarily liquefying the body, not only instantly repairing physical damage but also making it nearly immune to physical attacks, with various special abilities.
Basha attempted to transform into water and blend into the ground to retreat.
During this process, he divided part of his body, instantly transforming it into dozens of water arrows, sweeping toward the crowd like a machine gun. Liang Dong hastily continued to activate his innate skill to divert the attack originally aimed at others.
His sister Liang Qiu also quickly took action.
"Frost Descent!"
Liang Qiu was already a level 10 expert, and the power of his innate skills was worlds apart from the past. A massive cold current enveloped the front, instantly freezing Basha, who had liquefied his body, into a hard ice sculpture.
The other two agents took action as well.
One of them unleashed a dispel skill on Basha!
The other one used a sealing skill on Basha!
Basha’s Fourth Tier skills were broken, and he returned to his original form once again. Before he could regain his action power, two figures, swift as lightning, almost instantly appeared to his left and right, launching attacks simultaneously.
Hang Yu’s Demon Blood Awakening triggered, and he closed in with an Instant Strike, swinging the two-handed axe sword at the same time.
Xu Tianhua didn’t have Hang Yu’s sharp speed, but his giant sword slashed through the air, unleashing a burst of sword qi with a destructive aura that flew directly toward Basha’s face.
These two were even stronger!
Basha could tell that Hang Yu and Xu Tianhua were both using Third Tier skills!
Xu Tianhua had an innate skill bonus and a blue-quality giant sword, with attack power off the charts, and Destruction Sword Qi was the strongest among similar skills. The power of this sword was enough to change Basha’s expression.
However.
In comparison.
Hang Yu put even more pressure on him.
At a critical moment, a surge of water-blue energy rapidly released from within Basha.
Furious Wave Fighting Qi!
A Fighting Qi skill!
It was water attribute.
Its feature was that it was weak in power but had a large range, making its dispel effect strong.
Xu Tianhua’s sword qi was scattered by the fighting qi, and Hang Yu was too fast. Before being blown away by the airflow, his axe and longsword had already struck, landing a deadly poison curse, a dual descent, though the curse effect had just appeared, it was weakened by the residual fighting qi, while the poison remained on Basha.
Basha could no longer escape.
Hang Yu and Xu Tianhua positioned themselves to form a pincer.
Liang Dong and Liang Qiu, along with four agents, handled the support and containment at the rear.
Su Yunbing and Hang Xiaobai were estimated to soon eliminate the two fishman subordinates, and when they joined the battle here, Basha truly would have no chance!
He must carve a bloody path!
Basha activated another skill.
He recalled the exploding fighting qi around him, instantly condensing into countless light blue water blades.
There were more than a dozen of them!
These water blades infused with fighting qi were rapidly swirling around his body, with a range that could reach several meters!
They could serve as body-protecting defenses to block various attacks, or as weapons to shred nearby targets.
"This guy is indeed not simple!" Hang Yu frowned, telling Xu Tianhua, "This is also a Fourth Tier skill, much stronger than it seems. You attack from afar with sword qi, don’t get close, or it will be very dangerous!"
As he spoke.
Basha turned and fled.
Xu Tianhua’s face changed: "He’s trying to escape again."
"Leave it to me!"
Hang Yu used a Flashing maneuver to block Basha’s path.
His eyes quickly shone with red light, runes seemed to flow within his pupils,
"You’re courting death!"
Basha charged forward, his whole body slicing out with water blades, an overwhelming and suffocating assault.
Hang Yu’s Eye of Rapid Shadow had already been activated!
His vision enhanced by dozens of times.
Hang Yu could clearly discern each water blade of blue fighting qi entwined around Basha, effortlessly finding flaws and evasion spaces in the intense attacks, and his axe and long sword penetrated the defenses to hit the opponent.
Basha’s body stiffened.
He displayed a look of shock.
Unexpectedly, this human was so fast.
Even more unexpected, this human could see through his skills.
He had underestimated Hang Yu, paying with his life for it.
While Xu Tianhua seized the opportunity to strike Basha’s back with a Destruction Sword Qi, several Military Intelligence Bureau agents followed up with attacks, and Hang Yu showcased his dance-on-the-blade-edge maneuvers, evading the protective fighting qi water blades with ghost-like movement speed, continuously executing pinpoint attacks on Basha’s body.
Finally, an axe lodged into Basha’s head.
This elite of the Sea Race in the Spirit Realm, with strength rivaling ordinary Minor Lords and approaching a Great Lord, fell with eyes of unwillingness and a face full of disbelief.
"It’s over!"
Hang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn’t hold on any longer either.
Quickly ceased Demon Blood Awakening and Eye of Rapid Shadow.
To be honest, alone, Hang Yu wasn’t a match for Basha.
This guy, though having two Fourth Tier skills, hadn’t fully activated a Fourth Tier inheritance yet. Otherwise, even with Old Xu’s help, achieving total victory today would have been difficult.
