The Cosmic Age: Subverting the Universe

Therefore, he stood there calmly, waiting for the arrival of the green sword energy.

However, as the green sword energy gradually approached, the beast tide generals finally felt an unprecedented terrifying energy fluctuation.

His face changed drastically and he wanted to defend or dodge, but it was too late.

There was only a muffled sound, and the green sword energy accurately hit the forehead of the beast tide general.

A tiny hole appeared instantly, followed by drops of blood flowing from the back of his head.

The beast tide general's eyes were filled with fear at the last moment, but this fear only lasted for a moment.

Under the impact of the green sword energy, his head exploded instantly like a bomb, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and the scene was tragic.

This attack was not accidental, but an improvement made by Yun Yun after careful consideration after fighting with the tree spirit giant.

At that time, she had successfully pierced the giant's head, but because the wound was too small, the giant stood up again with his powerful recovery ability, putting herself in a desperate situation.

From then on, Yun Yun thought day and night about how to bring the sword technique "Extreme Wind - Meteoric Killing" to its full potential.

She finally realized that simple penetrating damage was far from enough to deal with an enemy with strong recovery ability.

So, she improved her swordsmanship so that when the sword energy hit the target, the gas in front would be extremely compressed, the penetrating force would be doubled, and it could cause huge destructive power.

A high-speed airflow is formed behind the sword energy, which continuously flows into the wound, causing secondary damage, strangling internal tissues, or directly exploding the opponent, just like the scene just now.

Yun Yun was full of confidence in her improvement. If she faced the tree spirit giant again, she would be able to use this move to kill it with one strike, and not give the tree spirit giant any chance to counterattack.

The news of the sudden death of the beast tide general spread throughout the demon army like the wind, and those originally blood-red and crazy eyes regained their former clarity.

Realizing the reversal of the situation, the demon soldiers fled the scene in panic, and the originally arrogant beast tide collapsed in an instant.

Qin Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the demons fleeing in all directions from high in the sky.

She had circled the city wall countless times and now she felt dizzy.

She staggered down from the sky and almost lost her balance.

Seeing this, Yun Yun immediately rushed forward and held Qin Luoluo steadily in her arms.

"Yun Yun~, it's you!"

"Yeah, it's me. Are you dizzy?"

Qin Luoluo nodded and replied weakly, "A little bit."

Yun Yun smiled slightly and comforted him, "It's okay, you've done very well."

"Hey, why did the demons retreat?" Qin Luoluo asked curiously.

Yun Yun explained: "I killed their general, but this is also thanks to you. You blocked the attack from the outside, so I had the opportunity to accumulate strength and launch a fatal blow."

Qin Luoluo laughed proudly after hearing this: "Of course not, how could it be possible without me!" Her face was filled with the joy and pride of victory.

Xiao Susu's virtual image suddenly appeared in front of everyone, "The retreat of the demon tribe is only temporary. After the new general takes over, they will make a comeback."

Qin Luoluo couldn't help but complain after hearing this: "Are they done yet?"

Xiao Susu explained: "The entire ancient clan has been multiplying for endless years in the ancient Xingyuan, and their number has reached a level that cannot be measured.

In their view, this conflict is just a minor fight at the village level, and the village managers can handle it on their own. If the ancient tribe sends out high-end combat forces, we will not be able to resist at all.”

Qin Luoluo panicked after hearing this: "Then what are we guarding? Let's run away with the villagers!"

Little Su Su shook her head and said seriously, "Running away won't solve the problem. No matter where you run, you'll be surrounded and hunted down by the monsters, and the situation will probably be worse than it is now."

Qin Luoluo said worriedly: "It's not a good idea for us to just stand there like this. The resources that the Xingchi carries are limited, and we can't outlast them at all."

Xiao Susu comforted him, "Don't worry about that. Lord Xiaobei has already led the engineering fleet to mine resources. We will ensure that there are enough resources to fight the monsters."

Yun Yun raised another concern: "But if we continue like this, will the village-level conflict escalate into a bigger conflict? If it is a bigger conflict, can we hold on?"

Xiao Susu nodded and said frankly: "In history, no mercenary team has ever been able to defend against the invasion of the demon tribe. However, these demon tribes lying in a pool of blood are all precious cultivation resources. So, even if we fail to defend them, it is not a loss. This beast tide is the fastest way to obtain cultivation resources."

After hearing this, Yun Yun's expression became complicated: "So, the ultimate goal of our efforts is to earn cultivation resources, not to protect the villagers."

Xiao Su Su was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Although I don't want to admit it, it is true.

The villagers are just the best bait for us to make the ancient tribe start a war.

Their existence provides us with the opportunity to fight against the demons, allowing us to obtain more cultivation resources."

There was a heavy atmosphere in the air.

An indescribable pain surged in Yun Yun's heart, and Qin Luoluo's face turned extremely pale.

They could not forget the scene of the old man begging them to protect the villagers; those sincere eyes and words seemed still echoing in their ears.

They had promised to protect the villagers, but now they found out that they were just using them as bait to earn cultivation resources. This contrast was hard for them to accept.

Xiao Su Su noticed the mood of the two girls, she sighed softly and comforted them: "It's not that we abandoned them, but we simply have no way to protect them.

In this endless war, individual power is insignificant.

If we die here, like the countless villagers who were slaughtered, it won't cause any waves.

If we leave and continue to practice, one day, perhaps we will truly have the power to protect them."

Xiao Susu's words made the two girls feel a little more at ease, but as they looked at the villagers in the corner, their eyes were still full of helplessness.

They knew that this was a defense war that was doomed to fail, but they still could not give up their sympathy and sense of responsibility for the villagers.

In the sky, several gravity rays streaked across the sky like meteors and landed precisely on the battlefield.

These rays of light come from source energy collectors, which float down and begin to work busily.

They were seen pulling out the beast cores that were shining with a faint light from the corpses of the monsters, collecting the spoils on the battlefield.

Letian looked at the beast cores flying in the sky, his eyes flashing with excitement.

He couldn't help laughing out loud: "This is such a great harvest, hahaha, great!"

The surrounding team members were also infected by this sudden harvest and showed joyful expressions.
