Chapter 1829: Chapter 1239: The Shadow of Destruction
The reinforcements that descended from the sky arrived at the most critical moment of life and death for the Jedi Knights, defeating the Robot Army that surrounded them. The Jedi Knights were greatly surprised by this new army, even though they had heard reports from Qui-Gon Jinn and others and knew about the Clone Army; they hadn’t expected it to appear!
Not until they saw a green-skinned little Dwarf among the Clone Army did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
“Master Yoda!”
Qui-Gon Jinn walked up to the green-skinned little Dwarf and nodded respectfully at him.
“You’re here.”
“I thought I wouldn’t make it in time, but it seems I arrived just right.”
The green-skinned little Dwarf smiled at him too, but immediately afterward, Qui-Gon Jinn saw the expression on the Dwarf’s face suddenly change! Then he reached out his hand to press against his chest.
“This, this is… ugh…”
“Master Yoda? What’s wrong?”
Seeing the green-skinned little Dwarf in such a state, Qui-Gon Jinn was greatly shocked. The Dwarf raised his head, stared at him with round eyes.
“I sense… darkness… destruction… the shadow of destruction is closing in on us… quickly, leave here!”
However, before Yoda could finish speaking, a transport ship next to him had already carried several Jedi Knights and was flying into the sky. But at that moment, suddenly, a huge shadow descended from the sky like a cannonball, piercing the transport ship through, then crashing heavily onto the ground!
“Boom———————!!!”
At this moment, the earth shook, lightning and thunder roared.
The enormous blast ended up blowing everything away, whether it was the Robot Army or the Clone Army, even those transport ships were blown away like toys, then exploded completely in the air.
“Waaaahhhh!!!”
Qui-Gon Jinn wasn’t any better. He hadn’t even reacted to what was happening when his transport ship was suddenly spinning rapidly toward the sky. Then, under an incomparably strong power, it was torn apart and turned into spinning shards. Qui-Gon Jinn felt like a small fish caught in a whirlpool, unable to escape this terrifying impact! He could only watch himself being thrown out and slammed heavily onto the ground!
“Bang!!!”
Thankfully, Qui-Gon Jinn was a Jedi Knight, and even a master, using the Force to shield his body, preventing instant death. But even so, when he was smashed onto the ground, he felt as if his organs were going to be vomited out, and sprayed a mouthful of blood!
“What, what on earth happened? What kind of attack did we suffer?”
Qui-Gon Jinn wiped the blood from his mouth, urgently grasping his Lightsaber and standing up, looking around, then he couldn’t help but draw a breath sharply.
As the unlucky guy who almost got publicly executed, Qui-Gon Jinn certainly knew this was originally a round building, similar to the Roman Colosseum, but now, looking around, all four sides were ruined walls! It’s exactly like being bombed!
Could it be that the Trade Federation still has another move?
Just as Qui-Gon Jinn looked up uneasily toward the front, the scene before his eyes stunned him.
“Whoooo———————!”
A gust of wind suddenly blew past, sweeping away the dust flying around, and at this moment, Qui-Gon Jinn clearly saw that the entire arena had completely collapsed, forming a huge pit. And in the center of this pit, an extremely tall figure slowly stood up.
He was fully dressed in pitch-black, heavy armor, wearing a helmet that was eerily like a Skull Head. In the Skull Head-like eye sockets, a crimson color as dazzling as a Sith Lightsaber was eye-catching. Just seeing him made Qui-Gon Jinn feel as if his blood had frozen, every cell in his body trembling as if from the most primal fear!
What kind of monster is this! Could it be the Trade Federation’s latest robot?
It’s not surprising for Qui-Gon Jinn to have such thoughts, as the huge size does not resemble any existing race in the Galactic Republic, and his full body armor resembles a robot. Strangely, the Trade Federation has also manufactured a large number of Robot Armies for this plan…
But what’s with this terrifying energy aura!?
Qui-Gon Jinn could swear, he has never felt such a frightening Force aura! That horrible feeling emanating like a tidal wave from the figure, exploding in every direction. Even he! A battle-tested Jedi Master, his legs involuntarily trembling!
How is this possible? If he really is a robot, how could he possess such strong Force energy!?
Qui-Gon Jinn tightly gripped his Lightsaber, clenching his teeth, not from tension, but from trembling as if a small rabbit facing a roaring bear, that feeling of despair and fear made him want to lose all reason, attack instinctively! Even if it means death!
“Aaaahhhh!!! ”
Yet, before Qui-Gon Jinn could act, several Jedi Knights suddenly rushed out with angry cries, charging toward the gigantic figure with their Lightsabers!
“Stop at once!!”
Seeing this scene, Qui-Gon Jinn was greatly shocked, hurriedly shouted to stop them. It wasn’t because he saw through anything, but an instinct, an instinct warning him madly that things would go bad if this continued!
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
Looking at the Jedi Knights wielding lightsabers rushing towards him, Duanmu Huai didn’t even move a finger. He just stared coldly at them, then let out a low hum.
“Hmph!!”
A short syllable, yet it exploded in everyone’s ears like thunder. Even Qui-Gon Jinn, standing far away, swayed, feeling as if his internal organs were about to burst, and knelt on the ground.
However, those Jedi Knights pouncing towards Duanmu Huai weren’t as lucky, as they directly and completely exploded, their flesh and blood scattering all over the place. In the blink of an eye, several Jedi Masters fell completely!
What kind of terrifying power is this!
Seeing this, Qui-Gon Jinn was dumbfounded. He clutched his chest, suppressing the fluctuating sensation, fixating his gaze on the opponent.
Just a low hum killed several Jedi Masters in an instant?
What on earth is this monster!!
No, that question doesn’t matter. What should be done now? Should he flee?
As this thought flashed through Qui-Gon Jinn’s mind, Duanmu Huai seemed to sense something, turning his head to stare at him. Meeting that crimson gaze, Qui-Gon Jinn’s body froze as if completely bound, unable to move! He could only watch in despair as Duanmu Huai slowly turned towards him………
“Boom boom boom!!!”
Just as Qui-Gon Jinn was about to resign himself, suddenly, several beams of light descended from the sky, striking near Duanmu Huai and enveloping him in a barrage of fire. The terrifying pressure drastically weakened at this moment, allowing Qui-Gon Jinn to breathe a sigh of relief. He turned his head to see a Galactic Republic warship advancing from not far away!
Right!
Seeing the warship, Qui-Gon Jinn snapped back to reality. Those transports weren’t appearing out of thin air. Since the transports had arrived, the Galactic Republic’s warship was obviously on its way!
This should be fine now.
With this thought, Qui-Gon Jinn turned back to look at the area that had been bombarded. That was a warship’s main cannon attack, which not even they, the Jedi Masters, would dare to take head-on, let alone just one round of bombardment. That dark shadow should be long gone without a trace, right?
However, as the smoke cleared, the sight before Qui-Gon Jinn sent chills through him——that black figure still stood there, unmoving! Even the heavy armor showed not a single scratch!
Are you kidding me! Could he withstand even the warship’s main cannon bombardment!
While Qui-Gon Jinn’s eyes widened, doubting if he was dreaming, an even more unimaginable scene unfolded——Duanmu Huai faced the warship, raised his right hand, and made a gripping gesture in the air!
With his motion, the colossal triangular hull of the warship began to twist and deform, as if an invisible giant hand was grabbing it and squeezing tightly.
Then, Duanmu Huai clenched his right hand forcefully! Simultaneously, with Duanmu Huai’s action, the warship was crushed flat, and then——it exploded!
“Boom———————!!!”
A massive fireball rolled out in the air, then dispersed. At this moment, Qui-Gon Jinn was almost numb. He felt his brain had completely stopped thinking, unable to comprehend what was happening before him.
Is it the Force?
Was this all caused by the Force?
Who on earth is this person!?
But unfortunately, Qui-Gon Jinn would never get the answer.
Because at that moment, Duanmu Huai had already clenched his right hand, raised it high, and then struck it forcefully towards the ground.
“—————————!!!”
Subsequently, the ground cracked open.
An unparalleled massive impact completely tore the hardened earth apart, and violent air currents burst from the fissures in the ground, with scorching magma flying into the air. No one could withstand such an attack, not even the Jedi Masters! Those who were not killed by Duanmu Huai previously also met their end at this moment!
“Hmph, nothing special.”
Duanmu Huai lifted his head and looked around. At this moment, within a radius of several kilometers centered on him, everything had collapsed. No power could resist the magic power of the God of Destruction, not even the Jedi Knights, who, like everything else, were destroyed before they could even put up a fight.
Well, it’s kind of like bullying children.
After all, the Psychics in this world aren’t that impressive.
Thinking this, Duanmu Huai shook his head, then turned and left.
The matter here is over, now it’s time to see Palpatine’s performance.
