Huang Shan screamed for mercy, but An Nuan had no intention of letting her go.
Shadow cut off her second ear, then a finger, then two, and then a knife to her palm…
Huang Shan fainted from the pain before An Nuan stopped her assault.
Xiu Ao: "President Nuan, should we throw her away or keep her?"
"Keep her for now. She's not one of ours, after all. The final decision rests with Da Xiong."
Da Xiong had been watching all along.
He could never have imagined that Huang Shan would betray him.
And that so many people had died in this war, all because of Huang Shan…
Shame and self-reproach turned into rage.
Da Xiong's abilities suddenly advanced by a level.
Seventh tier!
Da Xiong rampaged through the enemy ranks, tearing apart anyone he encountered.
Swords and blades were useless against his massive body, and fire-based attacks had no effect.
With one swipe of his claw, Da Xiong sent five or six people flying.
Abilities were one thing, but offensive power was another.
Da Xiong successfully channeled his rage into strength.
By this time, the thirty thousand captives had long since scattered, fleeing in all directions at any opportunity.
Hao Yunfeng: "What about these people? Should we round them up?"
"They were prisoners to begin with. As long as they don't attack us, they can go wherever they please."
Enough people had already died in this war; An Nuan didn't want to kill any more.
As long as they didn't cause trouble, let them run if they wanted to.
Everyone received the order and deliberately created openings, allowing the naked figures to escape the battlefield.
But those who were clothed were not so lucky.
Those without clothes left; those with clothes died.
It was that simple!
They should also thank their enemies for stripping the prisoners naked in an attempt to humiliate them.
It certainly made it easier for An Nuan's side to distinguish friend from foe.
Tang Qing's side was also growing weary. Her energy was depleted, while Chen Hao and the others seemed to grow more energetic, as if they never tired, constantly surrounding and attacking them.
Liu Qing shielded Tang Qing with all his might.
"Sister Qing, I can't hold on much longer. You should go. If you're alone, you should be able to get out of here!"
"No! I brought you here, and I can't leave you behind. At worst, I'll self-destruct and take them with me!"
Kneel!
A voice suddenly echoed in Tang Qing's mind, telling her to kneel.
She tried to resist, but the voice spoke again.
By this point, Tang Qing had no strength left to resist, and her knees slammed heavily onto the ground.
Chen Hao wiped the sweat from his eyes with his sleeve.
"Fortunately, Wen Jing acted. I almost made a mistake just now with sweat in my eyes!"
"Brother Chen, what about this woman?"
This "Brother Chen" was referring to Chen Wenjing.
He instantly appeared, glancing at Tang Qing's team.
The first wave that charged had over fifty people; now only three remained.
Ten thousand troops, and they sent a few girls as vanguards, while these men…
Chen Wenjing looked at the remaining five people: "Keep them for now. We'll see if President Nuan has any arrangements later."
"We've been fighting for two hours. I don't know how much longer it will take."
Chen Hao popped another life-sustaining candy to replenish his energy.
Abilities were useful, but they consumed a vast amount of physical strength.
Without supplements, it would be impossible to sustain their use for two hours.
Chen Wenjing also inquired: [President Nuan, should we be wrapping things up soon?]
[Almost. Little Brother, Lin Shui, merge them.]
Two dragons slowly moved towards the direction of the tornado.
Wang Ruo felt a sense of foreboding: "What are you doing? Don't mess around!"
Song Yan: "I've been holding out with you for this long, and it's about time to reel in the net."
At this point, Xiu Ao had also fixed dozens of small machines around the perimeter.
An Nuan raised the star-sky giant screen, a five-hundred-meter-tall display that blocked everyone's view. They could only watch the situation outside through the images.
The three forces slowly converged, gradually merging.
Wang Ruo was losing control, exerting all his strength and even spitting blood from his mouth.
In truth, he hadn't been in control from the beginning.
The dominant power had always been in Song Yan's hands.
With just a little effort, Song Yan could have ended his life.
The reason he had dragged it out this long was precisely to wait for this moment.
All team members flashed into the black hole behind them, returning to the city wall and the city.
Lin Shui and Chang Kai Tong also returned to the city wall.
The alliance army had no idea what was happening. Were they about to win?
Impossible.
They clearly had the advantage, so why were they retreating?
Wang Ruo finally understood what they were planning.
He no longer cared about balance. Damn it, there was no balance from the start!
"Run, run!"
Wang Ruo had lost his usual composure.
He turned and desperately rushed outwards.
As the three forces intertwined, several beams of light interwove.
When the light exploded, immense energy filled the entire space, shattering the video feed.
Hao Yunfeng had no idea what was happening outside, but the violent tremors constantly reminded him that an explosion had occurred!
Aftershocks battered the city walls wave after wave.
Upon hitting the screen, the energy was absorbed.
Everyone hugged each other nervously behind.
An Nuan waited until the time was right, then tossed a Devouring Sphere forward, consuming and extinguishing all residual flames within the barrier.
The star-sky screen descended. There was no longer any flame on the battlefield.
Not even the enemy corpses remained.
All that was left was a scorched crater.
Hao Yunfeng swallowed hard: "Th-there shouldn't be any survivors, right?"
"Probably not."
An Nuan didn't care if there were survivors.
Even if there were, what could they do?
They were alone and isolated!
An Nuan checked the time: two hours and twenty-three minutes. The first large-scale war had ended.
An Nuan was tired too: "Alright, let's shower and eat! Rest for a bit, we still have other things to do."
No one asked what other things there were.
They were convinced; they would follow the boss's arrangements!
...
The twin brothers ran desperately, the younger one carrying the older.
Fortunately, they were clever. When they saw the prisoners escaping, they also stripped off their clothes and wore two sets of their skin suits, managing to blend in and escape.
They hadn't run far when an explosion rocked the area behind them.
Chen Xin's legs trembled: "They're all dead! All one hundred thousand of them are gone!"
Chen Gui clutched the small hole in his abdomen and cursed "Axi ba" angrily.
"Just you wait, when we get back, I'll have the boss nuke you bastards! Just you wait, I will get revenge!"
"Hehehe."
A eerie laugh echoed from the woods.
As the brothers turned, a dark shadow flashed by. Before Chen Gui could even speak, only an arm remained; he was gone!
"Brother!"
Chen Xin screamed in terror: "Who's there? Get out here! What kind of skill is it to attack from the shadows? You all come out! Bastards, I'll kill you!"
Zhai Quan covered Chen Gui's mouth and coldly eyed Chen Xin.
You call me a bastard and want to kill me? Then I'll eliminate your brother first.
Crack!
These few chapters flowed quite smoothly, but I wanted to write something more explosive. I was afraid it might not be suitable for younger readers, haha.
