After the Breakup I Took It Easy and Became Invincible

Chapter 163. Seventh-rank Talismans Cost Millions, and You’re Scattering Them Around Like Candy?

“Ah! Those are Seventh-rank talismans worth millions. How can they be used like that?”

The humanoid robot girl, Lingling, squeezed her hard little face with both hands. Watching the Seventh-rank talismans flutter through the sky, even she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

That single toss was equivalent to decades of her salary. It was extravagance to an outrageous degree.

Mei Xue’er and Liang Shan were also rooted to the spot in shock. The sight of Seventh-rank talismans being scattered across the sky, with five-colored lightning bombarding the area in front of the watchtower, was undeniably stunning.

But for some reason, it also made their hearts ache.

If they imagined themselves in possession of that many Seventh-rank talismans, they would certainly want to maximize their use and kill as many Demonic Beasts as possible.

Not waste them in such a mindless barrage.

Mei Xue’er truly had not expected that Jiang Yichen’s method of holding back the Beast Tide would be so luxurious.

But Seventh-rank talismans alone could only deal with the Fifth-rank and Sixth-rank Demonic Beasts charging in the front. Once the Seventh-rank Demonic Beasts rushed forward from behind, there was no way they could stop them.

She let out a faint sigh. At best, this was only buying some time until Headquarters’ reinforcements arrived.

As for actually stopping the Beast Tide, that was simply impossible.

“Come on, let’s go help as well. However long we can stall them is however long we can stall them. Remember, Jiang Yichen and the others must be kept safe, or we will have no way to answer to the Commander-in-Chief.”

As Mei Xue’er spoke, she slowly tore away the fake middle-aged man's face covering her own face, revealing wine-red hair and a bewitchingly beautiful appearance.

Lingling and Liang Shan immediately turned away, afraid they would be affected by their captain’s allure.

Mei Xue’er curled her red lips into a smile, then pushed off hard with both feet and leaped into the scorched battlefield below.

Liang Shan and Lingling followed close behind.

“Good grief, so this is what young masters and young ladies from great families are like? Those talismans are definitely Seventh-rank. A single one would equal my entire lifetime’s wages. This is too extravagant.”

“This is not extravagance. It is completely absurd. They are not even treating money like money.”

“Stop sighing over it. Seventh-rank Rattlesnake Demons are here. Lightning does very little damage to them!”

“...”

Everyone immediately looked toward the battlefield ahead, where the five thunderbolts continued crashing down. A soul-shaking rattling sound rang out, forcing everyone to cover their ears.

There, they saw giant snakes over ten meters long, shaking their tails and producing a sound that shook the mind.

When the five thunderbolts struck the incredibly hard scales of the Rattlesnake Demons, they left only black marks and drew out waves of agonized cries, but caused no fatal injuries.

Everyone involuntarily shook their heads. Their minds had already been affected.

“It’s over. Those are Seventh-rank Demonic Beasts. Even our strongest fighter, the sentry captain, is only a Great Grandmaster of the Sixth Realm. We cannot beat them.”

“Why have the reinforcements not arrived yet? At this rate, the border defenses of Rift Valley Town will fall in less than ten minutes.”

“If the border defenses of Rift Valley Town are breached, then the Beast Tide will threaten all the major military districts along the East China border. That will be a disaster.”

“...”

The Eastern Great Rift Valley was a natural moat that separated humanity from the Demonic Beasts, and Rift Valley Town stood within that isolated fortress.

If the Beast Tide broke through the border defenses of Rift Valley Town, then the villages and military districts behind it would all be ravaged by the Demonic Beasts.

Moreover, there was definitely a ninth-rank Demonic Beast directing this Beast Tide. Otherwise, those low-rank Demonic Beasts, with their meager intelligence, would not have stopped mindlessly charging forward.

At a glance, it was obvious that a ninth-rank Demonic Beast was commanding the movements of the horde.

Despair began to fill everyone’s eyes.

After seeing that the talismans were ineffective against the snake demons, Su Linyu and the other three also grew solemn.

“Pull yourselves together! We must hold the line until reinforcements arrive!”

Feng Xiazi suddenly shouted as he used Death Gaze to immobilize the two snake demons nearest to him.

But the rattling sound of their tails still rang out, and none of the border-defense soldiers could withstand that kind of mental attack.

Feng Xiazi grew anxious. What were they supposed to do now?

“Sentry Captain Feng, leave it to us.”

Sleep God stood there with dark circles under his eyes, his half-lidded gaze bloodshot. He looked to Mo Yan at his side. “If I lose control of my power later, use your Laws to pull me out of the sleep state.”

Mo Yan’s lips moved, but no sound came out. Instead, he flipped the folding fan in his hand over to the other side, where the word “OK” was written.

Sleep God smiled faintly and collapsed straight into sleep.

Seeing that, Mo Yan could not help shaking his head. Youth was truly a wonderful thing.

Feng Xiazi: “...”

While Sleep God was preparing to unleash his power through sleep, Mei Xue’er used illusion arts to control more than a hundred giant snakes, making them attack their own kind.

Liang Shan removed the protective suit from his arm and placed his hand against the scorched ground, causing green poisonous gas to slowly spread outward.

Meanwhile, Lingling abandoned her humanoid robot body and transformed into a soul form, entering the heads of the Rattlesnake Demons and destroying their souls.

Because of that, the situation held steady for a full two minutes.

Hm?

Only then did the three of them notice something was wrong, and they began checking their own bodies.

They had continuously used their Laws. Under normal circumstances, they would already have begun to suffer from physical exhaustion and would have needed pills to recover.

But today, it felt incredibly strange.

Even after using their Laws several times in succession, they felt no sense of depletion at all, as though using Laws consumed nothing whatsoever.

A strange look appeared in Mei Xue’er’s eyes as he stared at his own condition in disbelief.

Previously, he could use the Law of Charm at most three times. But just now, he had used it five times and still felt he had plenty left in reserve.

What in the world was going on?

And it was not just them. Every single border-defense soldier was brimming with vigor, assisting the Divine Battle Division in suppressing the enemy with overwhelming firepower.

From atop the watchtower, Jiang Yichen, who had not yet made a move himself, nodded slightly at the sight.

This Infinite Stamina Array truly was absurdly heaven-defying.

The Divine Battle Division and Su Linyu’s group were simply throwing out one ultimate move after another without restraint, forcibly halting the advance of the snake demons.

“Not bad, not bad,” Jiang Yichen said with a small nod.

But very soon, the ground began to shake violently. Heavy footsteps rang out in booming succession.

Each step made the heart pound with dread.

“This is bad! Eighth-rank Fire Lions!”

Three lions, seven to eight meters tall and wreathed in crimson flames, came striding forward. The fire blazing from their bodies illuminated the dim battlefield.

Behind the three Eighth-rank Fire Lions followed countless Seventh-rank Fire Lions and other Demonic Beasts, their momentum terrifying beyond words.

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, and they slowly began retreating.

They had not even dealt with the Rattlesnake Demons yet, and now Eighth-rank Demonic Beasts had arrived as well. What were they supposed to do?

At this moment, even Mei Xue’er showed a troubled expression.

“Jiang Yichen, hurry up and make your move! You said you would stop the Demonic Beasts, so why have you just been standing there without doing anything?”

Lingling shouted in her drifting soul form.

Jiang Yichen was an Eighth-Realm Martial Emperor. Perhaps he could hold off the three Eighth-rank Fire Lions for a while.

Hearing that from atop the watchtower, Jiang Yichen slowly took out the Ninth-rank Nine-Palace Heavenly Qian Talisman.

He had thought this Beast Tide would be more impressive than this. Yet in front of Infinite Stamina, it could not even touch the gates of the watchtower.

The game was over.

Jiang Yichen activated the Nine-Palace Heavenly Qian Talisman and flicked forward with sword fingers. Terrifying energy ripples spread through space.

The power of the five elements of heaven and earth began circulating through the void. Countless talismanic runes fused together, transforming into an enormous palace of golden light.

The dazzling golden radiance and the terrifying power of the five elements filled everyone’s eyes with shock.
