Chapter 524: The Doom of the Li Tian Clan
In front of the big screen at the Five-angled Building of Yingyu Country, it was deathly silent!
The four-star admiral, who was full of ambition yesterday, was now sweating on his forehead.
Operation North Wind officially commenced with the Di Luo Beast Army breaking through the Daxia border defenses, but in just one night, the entire Di Luo army was annihilated!
The plan completely collapsed!
They had already prepared the speeches in advance, but all of them became null and void at this point.
Because the situation had undergone a drastic 180-degree change.
Southwest Liang Mountain.
A gust of autumn wind passed by, bringing the cold of the northern wind.
Lin Xiaosu slowly opened his eyes.
After a deep sleep for the night, he was awake.
When he woke up, there was no one by the bed.
Wives, were they avoiding suspicion?
Lin Xiaosu stepped out of the room, slightly startled, as a man in white stood quietly at the door, looking at the edge of the sky.
It was none other than Bai Shui.
"Mr. Bai!" Lin Xiaosu stepped forward in a hurry: "When did you arrive?"
"I arrived just as you fell asleep."
"You didn't wake me. Letting you wait outside, I truly don't deserve it." Lin Xiaosu felt very embarrassed.
Bai Shui smiled and said, "You single-handedly slew over a hundred Di Luo Beasts. Such a battle hero is entitled to anyone waiting outside for him."
"That's too kind of you!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Mr. Bai, if there's anything, let's talk inside!"
Bai Shui lightly shook his head, "No need, let's take a walk outside."
The two continued walking along the hillside.
The full view of the military camp slowly came into sight.
The scars of last night's bloody battle were still quite deep.
Ahead, there was a hill with the soil almost entirely removed. A row of soldiers stood on the slope, raising their guns to the sky and firing a salute.
This was a farewell for their fallen comrades.
Lin Xiaosu gently exhaled: "What are the casualties?"
"Three thousand one hundred and twenty-seven soldiers were killed in action! The number of wounded was incalculable," Bai Shui said.
Lin Xiaosu's eyelids twitched lightly, not expecting the number to be so high...
Bai Shui said, "In fact, the Di Luo Beast horde caused over seven hundred casualties, but the most severe battle losses occurred during the fight with the Li Tian Clan!"
"The Li Tian Clan?" Lin Xiaosu was slightly surprised, "Did they join the battle directly?"
"Yes, they pre-dug tunnels, and a thousand of them arrived at the rear. That hill was where the Fourth Camp was stationed. The entire camp was wiped out. Before dying, the camp commander asked the commander to fire at him..."
"The Li Tian Clan!" Lin Xiaosu exhaled heavily.
"What thoughts do you have about the Li Tian Clan?" Bai Shui stopped.
This was the fundamental reason he waited for Lin Xiaosu.
Because this involved a major decision.
His decision did not require Lin Xiaosu's input.
But given the complex and perilous situation, he also wanted to know the thoughts of the person in front of him...
"They killed my three thousand soldiers, their clan must be exterminated!" Lin Xiaosu answered with ten words.
"This is your stance?"
"Yes!"
"However, the situation is very complicated. The Li Tian Clan sits on the Sangmu Temple. To annihilate them, we must break conventions and current international consensus."
"International consensus is meant to protect human civilization!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Does the Li Tian Ancestral Hall in the temple count as human civilization?"
Bai Shui was shaken all over...
"You say the current situation is dire, but it is not yet at its most critical. There is reason to believe that by this time next year, we will have to face formidable enemies from beyond the realm. It is about time to use these scumbags' heads to tell the whole world one thing! The rule of civilization, the rule of the civilized world, protects only those within this civilized framework, not the foreign bandits intruding into this world!"
"Good! That's precisely the reason!" Bai Shui raised his hand, touching the edge of his glasses, "Commander, I have decided to choose plan four. Report to the higher-ups, and I will report to Chief Long!"
The two continued walking.
Ahead, a group of people sat by the cliff.
Blue Demon, Blood Trace, Saintess Qian Ling, Hu Ya, along with a bunch of Heavenly Kings.
Ding Ruoshui slept next to Lin Xiaosu. When Lin Xiaosu got up, she hadn't gotten up yet. Only now, she arrived from that side and, upon suddenly seeing a bunch of people in front, her face blushed slightly.
Everyone wouldn't think she slept with him, right?
Heaven knows she didn't, although she really wanted to, but she truly didn't...
Lin Xiaosu's gaze cast toward the ones behind them.
Blue Demon laughed: "Looking for someone? Looking for little sister Yixiang? She went back to Wushen Mountain."
"She went back?" Lin Xiaosu was somewhat surprised. She came quickly and left quickly, and she didn't even say a word before she left.
Blue Demon transmitted a secret voice: "It probably has something to do with the last time you stayed at Wushen Mountain for more than ten days. Whatever you did last time, it seems you did it well, satisfied her, so she doesn't need to compete for favor with other wives."
Lin Xiaosu sighed and transmitted back: "Senior sister, listen to yourself. Does this sound like something a senior sister should say?"
Blue Demon did not reply, but her eyebrows curved...
Miao Yin Heavenly King spoke up: "I heard from the warriors that she... she can Lingkong Step Void?"
Upon these words, almost everyone's eyes sparkled brightly.
Including Bai Shui.
Lingkong Step Void, in the eyes of these Heavenly King level experts, had almost a specific connotation: it was a cultivation realm not belonging to this world: the Enlightenment Realm.
Only giants of the enlightenment realm could perform the Lingkong Xudu.
Could it be that this Yixiang from Wushen Mountain is actually a giant of the enlightenment realm? And can she break through the current shackles that prevent the Enlightenment Realm's divine power from manifesting in this world?
Facing the most terrifying and perilous situation, if there really was such a giant of the Enlightenment Realm, what a linchpin she would be?
Lin Xiaosu caught the gazes of the people, internally thinking, damn, so this is why Yixiang didn't dare to stay. They speculated about her flying ability so wildly.
Lin Xiaosu gently shook his head: "Don't overthink it, everyone. She doesn't have cultivation. She only has Gu Technique. In Gu Technique, there is a mysterious realm where man and gu merge into one; what gu can do, a person can also do. Her Lifebound Gu can fly, so she can stand momentarily in the air."
The Heavenly Kings looked at each other.
They found relief in each other's eyes, but there was also a hint of disappointment.
Suddenly, Bai Shui stepped forward.
Everyone's gaze gathered...
"The plan is approved!"
Lin Xiaosu's eyes suddenly shone brightly.
This plan is truly extraordinary.
This plan overturns all current rules.
This plan declares... the end of the Li Tian Clan is at hand!
Sangmu Temple.
The sun was already setting in the west.
The remnants of the sun stained the sky like blood, and on the vast plaza, five thousand elite soldiers were gathered.
Yesterday's battle caused the Li Tian Clan a great loss.
But from today onwards, it's Daxia Country's turn to suffer deeply.
The five thousand elite soldiers are about to set out.
In a foreign land, they will wreak havoc upon Daxia, plunging it into turmoil.
Inside the temple, the Holy Master slowly stood up and walked toward the outer plaza, wanting to personally give a message to his sons. He wanted them to carry his will, spreading the glory of the Li Tian Clan across every corner of this world...
Suddenly, he looked up abruptly.
In the sky, a massive fireball descended from mid-air!
The target was Sangmu Temple.
The Holy Master's face drastically changed.
The Great Elder beside him also looked up suddenly: "A missile? This is..."
The speed of the missile surpassed imagination!
The size of the missile surpassed imagination!
With a loud bang, the missile accurately hit the center of the plaza.
Within a radius of five hundred meters from the blast point, everyone was instantly vaporized!
An exceedingly strong shockwave swept out.
The temple behind was directly reduced to ashes, the entire mountain top trembled violently, turning into a giant mushroom cloud.
At the center of the mushroom cloud, blood flames rolled.
Boom!
Sweeping through three valleys.
The buildings in the valley were instantly reduced to leaves in the wind, all giant trees uprooted...
The shockwave carried countless sand and stones, dust whirling rapidly in the valley, crazily scrubbing, stripping the skin off the towering peaks on this side as if they were giant trees. Finally, with nowhere to dissipate, the shockwave blasted straight up to the sky with a boom!
The rising dust reached ten miles high.
Everything within the dust was shredded into pieces, whether human, brick, or ancient towering trees...
Durta.
The highest military staff department.
An old man's eyes suddenly widened: "Nuclear bomb?"
"No... General, it's not a nuclear bomb, the nearest detection station didn't detect any radioactive elements." Someone beside him, sweating profusely, said: "That's not the main point, the main point is, our side completely failed to detect the flight trajectory of this missile. It broke through directly from beyond the atmosphere, radar didn't spot it, didn't spot it!"
The senior commanders around were all stunned.
Only military personnel know how terrifying this statement is.
The missile has already exploded on our territory, visible to the naked eye, but the radar couldn't detect it?
What does this mean?
It means this missile is a stealth missile!
What kind of black technology is a hypersonic stealth missile?
What does this mean again?
It means that no matter where this missile strikes, it cannot be intercepted!
If it hits the temple, the temple is unlucky; if it hits the Durta Capital, it's their turn to go to hell.
They were frantically wondering one thing in their hearts: how much does Daxia know about the collusion between Durta and the Li Tian Clan? And how will they implement countermeasures against us?
The night was quiet!
The smoke and dust over the temple still hadn't dispersed.
Among the three tall mountains, the former location of the temple seemed to have been wiped clean of all signs of life by the hand of a Heavenly God.
Even the surface of this valley had been turned over.
No trace of any buildings could be found.
Suddenly, with a boom, a large hand reached out from the pile of rubble, this hand as big as a millstone.
A bloodstained old man struggled to get up, and as he did, his millstone-sized hand returned to its original shape.
The next moment, boom, boom!
In four places, four old men emerged from the ground.
They were the five elders from the Li Tian Ancestral Hall, all with half-step Fourth Realm cultivation.
Only with such cultivation could one survive such a fierce impact.
The Great Elder looked up to the sky and let out a great shout, like an old ape crying for its child.
The Second Elder scanned all directions, his hand trembling slightly.
The temple, gone!
The valley, overturned!
The five thousand elite brought out from the Li Tian Ancestral Hall hadn't even made it to the battlefield before being wiped out!
