The Golden Dragon appeared quite young, seemingly just in his early thirties, yet that was merely an outward appearance; in reality, everyone present was well over sixty! In the Wolong World, life itself was no longer a constraint for humanity; even immortality was not impossible!
Of course, for high-risk professions like Battle Generals, achieving eternal life was difficult, thus the average lifespan of a Battle General was not long. Historically, even the most famous and long-lived Battle General, the 204th Golden Dragon, only managed to live for a little over two centuries, ultimately losing his life while challenging the Gemini Demon within the ** structure!
It is evident that living a long life requires not just strength, but also intellect and self-awareness! At this moment, the seven individuals were all contemplating the same question: Could this be the final battle of their lives?
Naturally, such a thought could only be suppressed deep within their hearts; none dared voice it aloud. "Why isn't he here yet?" Iron Eagle sounded somewhat restless, slightly tightening his legs around his aerial war beast, appearing eager to move.
"Soon," Golden Dragon replied, "I can feel that aura slowly drawing nearer." As the strongest among the Seven Phoenix Knights, Golden Dragon's prowess was unquestionable. Everyone held him in high regard, and he naturally became the commander for this engagement.
"Boss, should we set up an ambush?" Qilin inquired. "It's useless," Golden Dragon stated gravely.
"Against a master of this caliber, attempting to assassinate with a setup—trying to gain an advantage through trickery—will only backfire. A straightforward contest is the proper path." "That's true!" Phoenix agreed.
"If our forces are scattered, won't he pick us off one by one?" At these words, the others nodded repeatedly; at least Iron Eagle found the logic sound. Last time in the tunnel, he had encountered three fools from the regular army whose strength was lacking, yet they had set up an ambush, only for him to instantly slay them.
In his eyes then, that was an utterly foolish tactic, and he and his group must not make the same mistake now. "But I worry that fellow might try to strike us from the shadows," Silver Fox harbored an unusual apprehension toward Xingchen!
Golden Dragon waved his hand. "It won't be easy for him to ambush us.
Even if he lowered his life-force field, his killing intent cannot escape my senses. Once he closes within a thousand meters, I will certainly sense him." "As expected of the Boss!" Iron Wolf expressed admiration.
"Don't think flattering him will earn you preferential treatment, kid," Qilin chuckled lightly. Iron Wolf's face flushed crimson.
"I'm telling the truth, genuinely!" Speaking of which, this newly appointed Iron Wolf was quite unlucky; just as he donned his armor and took office, he was faced with a ferocious OO like Xingchen. To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie!
However, being interrupted by Qilin unexpectedly dispelled the tension. Seeing the thoughtful smiles of the others, Iron Wolf realized he perhaps wasn't so nervous after all.
He sent a look of gratitude toward Qilin. "In any case, let's stick to the deployment plan and cooperate according to our roles!" Phoenix urged.
"Even if that fellow has three heads and six arms, this time he won't be returning." "Right, not returning!" Iron Wolf stated firmly. Hearing this, a wave of soft laughter rippled through the group; it seemed this newcomer, despite being green, possessed solid character!
"Is that fellow deliberately toying with us?" Old Niu grumbled impatiently, surveying the surroundings. /*/..
"He's almost here," Golden Dragon's gaze sharpened instantly. "I sense his approach." "Finally coming?" Silver Fox also felt a jolt of energy!
It wasn't just Golden Dragon; the others clearly sensed that unique killing intent too! Although the aura was faint, the astonishing severity and despair it carried—even before seeing anything—told them this aura did not belong to the one named Xingchen, but to the guardian hero who accompanied him: the one called Moon God.
The biological radar showed nothing tangible, yet they knew with certainty: they were almost upon them! "Everyone, be cautious!" Golden Dragon shouted again.
"Remember, Moon God's swordplay is sharp and ferocious; never confront her head-on! When you move, prioritize self-preservation, attack slowly and maneuver, avoid impatience." "Yes!" No one felt dissatisfied with Golden Dragon's conservative strategy, nor would anyone mistake it for cowardice!
After all, the Gemini Demon named Moon God had become a living taboo in the Wolong World. Moreover, according to the reports from Iron Eagle and Silver Fox, the Gemini Demon seemed significantly stronger than historical records indicated!
In previous historical reports, Moon God’s combat power was 2.3 million points! Although Moon God’s combat power had no distinction between 'highest' and 'maximum' because of her protective ring, it allowed her to maintain the strongest Level Six Burning state without worrying about bodily strain.
Therefore, Moon God's 2.3 million combat power was her absolute peak! Because of this, she could unleash her most potent attack immediately—that was her terrifying difference from ordinary beings!
Yet, previously, this constant 2.3 million combat power left countless masters helpless against her. Because no one could withstand five moves in her presence, making it impossible to unleash subsequent, stronger powers.
Furthermore, after their last encounter, Silver Fox and Iron Eagle knew this terrifying Gemini Demon had upgraded her gear! Her former golden set had been upgraded to the genuine Golden Thunder set—the ultimate set that only Golden Dragon could equip.
Its maximum Dou Qi intensity was a staggering 2 million. And Moon God's Golden Thunder was not only authentic Thunder but also a universal, three-directional set that simultaneously combined Dao, Battle, and Magic disciplines.
Consequently, her maximum combat power had reached 8.4 million. And this 8.4 million was a terrifying fighting strength that could erupt instantaneously!
It could be said that the chances of victory in this engagement were slim to none! Yet, even so, as soldiers, they had to face this virtually certain, brutal battle!
The group floated silently in the air, awaiting the grand arrival of the Gemini Demon. Although her master, Xingchen, was undoubtedly powerful, under the shadow of the Gemini Demon, everyone subconsciously overlooked him.
The air seemed to stop flowing! Bringing with it an increasingly dense and heavy killing intent.
Everyone saw two golden figures slowly floating closer, like two balls of golden mist. Each person felt a sudden, palpable, intensely mournful killing aura.
It was an emotionless ruthlessness, existing purely for slaughter, permeating a calmness and indifference that spoke of world annihilation. Every heart felt as if crushed by a massive stone, struggling to draw breath.
The two golden images drew nearer, yet they appeared increasingly blurry to the onlookers. They couldn't be seen clearly; the only sensation was the suffocating killing intent.
Was this the aura of the Gemini Demon? Cold dread sank to the marrow of their bones, forcing their jaws to clench.
The biological computer in their minds spat out a despair-inducing calculation: 8.4 million! 2.3 million (Aerial War Beast)—Total Dou Qi Intensity: 10.7 million points!
As for Xingchen beside her, an equally unbelievable set of figures appeared: 8.4 million + 2.3 million (Aerial War Beast) = 10.7 million points! "It's just as I thought," Silver Fox gave a bitter, hollow laugh.
"This is energy sharing. However strong the hero is, the master is that strong." "Gentlemen, look after yourselves," Golden Dragon said gravely!
Crack—the sound of a bowstring being pulled taut echoed. Phoenix, the unparalleled divine archer, drew her famed Phoenix Bow to its fullest tension!
Among all the Phoenix Knights, Phoenix was the only ranged warrior whose weapon was the bow. Her signature technique was the Fire Phoenix Celestial Strike, capable of unleashing nine incredibly powerful Phoenix Golden Feather Arrows in a single shot!
This was Phoenix's strongest ultimate skill; even the strongest Phoenix Knight, Golden Dragon, dared not take this move head-on. Of course, unless the final moment arrived, no one could force Phoenix to use this skill, which could be called miraculous!
But at this moment, Phoenix had instantly pushed her Dou Qi to its maximum limit: 1.4 million. Combined with the 2 million points of Dou Qi intensity from her ** aerial war beast, these nine Phoenix Golden Feather Arrows coalesced to a total intensity of 3.4 million Dou Qi!
However, Phoenix, despite having the bowstring fully drawn, dared not release the arrow lightly! Because she only had one chance!
To maintain this state of tension without release, a cloud of white mist, like steam, rose from her forehead and body, as large droplets of sweat slowly traced down her brow to bead at the tip of her nose. With a deafening Boom of splitting air, the aerial war beast belonging to Flying Tiger violently flapped its massive wings, and its entire body exploded in a fierce, flame-like aura of burning Dou Qi!
The ten-meter-long spear in its hand writhed like a coiling, fiery dragon, ready to break free from its grasp and shoot forth at any moment! In truth, as soon as Xingchen and Yueying approached, everyone had activated their strongest Level Six Burning state.
This wasn't due to superior combat techniques, but thorough preparation. Xingchen's slow advance had inflicted immense psychological pressure, but it had also given them ample time to burn.
Thus, all nine were currently at their peak state! Flying Tiger and his aerial war beast possessed a combined peak combat power of 3.4 million!
In the past, this was a staggering figure that inspired awe, but now it seemed rather thin! Iron Eagle, Iron Wolf, Wei Peng, and Old Niu formed a peculiar diamond formation!
Their four greatswords were angled precisely, allowing them to strike a single target with maximum force simultaneously, with zero error in power distribution! In fact, whether Phoenix Knights or Golden Warriors, they were all selected from the same training camp during their youth.
Because of this, they possessed a tacit understanding that ordinary people could not fathom! And at this moment, the formation adopted by the four was the Diamond Charge Formation, possessing the strongest offensive capability—simultaneous attack and defense, integrated movement, as if they were one entity; this was the profound essence of the Diamond Charge Formation!
Qilin wielded a rare, gigantic long whip—αр．1⑥κx．CM. In the Wolong World, warriors using whips were exceedingly rare, and masters of the whip even more so.
Yet, Qilin was precisely such a decisive master of the whip. His technique was unpredictable, yet it lacked none of the fierce, domineering strength, perfectly embodying the Way of Softness and Hardness, possessing infinite resilience!
And he himself was like his whip—infinitely resilient, incapable of being crushed by any pressure or aura, refusing to yield; the two figures before them were no exception! Golden Dragon's expression was calm as water; he held his golden broadsword slightly raised!
Like a towering, unmoving mountain, he stood beside Qilin! The Seven Phoenix Knights plus two Golden Warriors—this was the strongest lineup the Xiangtian Division sent to confront Xingchen!
In the past, such a formation was not just unheard of, it was unimaginable! Yet now, it stood materialized before everyone!
And the two sides fighting outside, whether the Xiangtian Division and Yingyue Division or the Chenxing Division and Nile Division, were all anxiously watching this battle from behind screens. This was poised to be the decisive battle that would determine the final fate of the two major factions!
Everyone desperately clenched their fists, awaiting the moment of the impending decisive battle! Nile Division!
Control Room! "Xingchen!
Yueying! You must win!" Meimei and Lili clasped their hands together in devout prayer.
Wolong Manor Headquarters! "Father," Xingzhan murmured to himself, "I knew no one could defeat you." Yingyue Division!
Chenxing Division! Grand Marshal Chenxing of the Chenxing Division, Grand Marshal Yingyue, and a host of regular army generals all wore grave expressions, staring intently at the eleven figures on the screen!
"Xingchen! Yueying," Grand Marshal Yingyue murmured, "This combination reminds me of the invincible duo known as the Star-Moon Twins thirty thousand years ago, when Chenxing and Yingyue joined forces to defeat the strong contenders of the Lai'ou Continent, ultimately laying the foundation for the Wolong Clan's unification of the continent." "Perhaps this is the arrangement of Lord Yingyue.
Chenxing and Yingyue thirty thousand years ago, and Xingchen and Yueying today—even the names are so similar, suggesting a reincarnation of fate," Grand Marshal Chenxing commented with emotion. "Perhaps this is decreed by providence.
Yueying is a clone created using Lord Yingyue's genes, and Xingchen carries the noble and perfect bloodline of my Chenxing Division. Lord Yingyue's wisdom and foresight are truly admirable." Chenxing grew excited.
"What perfect, noble?" Grand Marshal Yingyue grumbled irritably. "He's just a big idiot.
If he had listened to the warning from the thirtieth generation Yingyue, would we even have this messy situation today?" "........." Grand Marshal Chenxing couldn't help but feel a pang of awkwardness—αр．1⑥κx．CM: "Well, perhaps that is also part of destiny." Nilo, watching from the Nile Division, also overheard the conversation between the two Grand Marshals and sighed with feeling. "The Yingyue and Chenxing Divisions have always supported each other, relying on one another.
Esteemed Marshals, you need not envy our ancestors. What our ancestors achieved thirty thousand years ago, we can achieve now.
While Xingchen and Yueying fight fiercely within the barrier, aren't the two Grand Marshals outside also joining forces against the enemy?" "Exactly," Meimei exclaimed excitedly. "The myth of the Star-Moon Twins from thirty thousand years ago—we can recreate it!
It's not just Xingchen and Yueying inside the barrier; the two Grand Marshals outside working in close cooperation are no less capable. This time, let us all create the Star-Moon Myth belonging to our Yingyue and Chenxing Divisions, featuring our invincible Star-Moon Twins both on the battlefield and within the barrier." "Hah!
Well said," Grand Marshal Chenxing laughed heartily. "We must strive hard this time, lest we be outshone by those two inside the barrier." "Hmph, that depends on your own ability," Grand Marshal Yingyue retorted.
"I hope you aren't as foolish as your thirtieth generation counterpart, Lord Chenxing." While everyone here was engaged in discussion, The atmosphere inside the barrier had reached an absolute nadir! "Seven Phoenixes, let me see how strong you are united," Xingchen and Yueying advanced simultaneously.
Two pairs of equally cold eyes churned with the same chilling killing intent!
