Holding the Line

In the Void Battlefield, Shen Shuibi is fighting against five fifth-rank warriors.

However, the rabbit was somewhat puzzled.

What happened?

Why hasn't the Plague Lord arrived?

When she first tested Human Path, she wanted to find out Human Path Trump Card. That's when she saw the Plague Lord.

But so far, the Plague Lord has not arrived.

As she was thinking this, she slightly turned her head to dodge an arrow, and with a few light taps, she broke through her opponent's Technique Method. The surrounding yin Yin Qi became even heavier, and the Moonlight Domain suppressed the five fifth-rank opponents, making it difficult for them to breathe.

They have discovered that Shen Shuibi is getting stronger as the battle progresses.

It's not that my cultivation level has become stronger, but rather that I've become more and more adept at navigating the edge of a blade.

She... is studying.

They learned how to fight, how to fight to the death, and their progress was rapid.

At the same time, she still has Trump Card to play.

She intended to save it for the Plague Lord. After losing to the Plague Lord that time, she realized how difficult it was to deal with Human Path and came up with many ways to deal with the Plague Lord.

Otherwise, if the other side sends out the Plague Lord again, wouldn't she be throwing her life away? So she must have a complete backup plan.

Therefore, she waited until now, even when the situation was truly perilous, her physical body was damaged, her Yang Spirit was seriously injured, and she was truly caught in a life-or-death battle, she did not use that Trump Card.

However, the Plague Lord has yet to appear...

Shen Shuibi believed that the Human Path must really want to stop this, as evidenced by the combat power they had deployed. Golden Platform had already sent over a dozen fifth-rank soldiers, which was no small number.

This sparked an idea in Shen Shuibi's mind.

Could it be... that the Plague Lord really isn't coming? Human Path isn't about holding back its Trump Card, but rather that it truly can't command the Plague Lord.

If that's the case, then there's no need to hold back, right?

Because she could also see that the Unreturning Disciples longer able to fight. Holding off an army of 100,000 plus five fifth-rank soldiers was already the limit for the Unreturning Disciples.

There's still one problem that hasn't been resolved.

Human Path has no Plague Lord, but Liu Junyi should also know about Shen Shuibi's matter. Does he really have no other means?

Although Li Qi's offensive had entangled Liu Junyi, to be honest, should have more than that. He could have instantly committed all his reserves to forcefully overwhelm Shen Shuibi, and then transferred those forces to the front line. In that way, he could have perfectly countered the offensive, instead of resorting to piecemeal tactics and gradually adding more people into the fray.

In Li Qi's words, this was like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, keeping Shen Shuibi in a position where she had the strength to resist.

Liu Junyi couldn't be that stupid. In other words, there must be a reason why he chose to take this action. Either he anticipated that Shen Shuibi was still hiding something, or... he felt that maintaining this piecemeal tactic would be more beneficial to some of his actions.

Just as Shen Shuibi was pondering these things, suddenly—

She noticed that her five opponents had suddenly lost their composure.

Chance!

Shen Shuibi didn't know why the other party had messed up the stitches, but that didn't stop her from reacting immediately!

The rabbit immediately gathered its energy, and the accumulated lunar energy around it suddenly erupted!

The strategy laid out from the very beginning of the battle erupted at this moment, with the Taiyin Qi transforming into a new moon.

The moon, when it dies, turns to ashes, and its light is exhausted. But it does not perish after death; instead, it enters a certain cycle of reincarnation. Hence, there is the crescent moon, and gazing at the moon is a straightforward expression.

The crescent moon, also known as the half-moon, is shaped like a bowstring, with one side curved and the other straight.

Wangyue, also known as full moon, is a name for a full moon.

The waning moon, also known as the crescent moon, is a type of crescent moon.

The new moon is called Shuoyue, which means "to revive" or "to resurrect," referring to the moon's rebirth after death.

The Huainanzi states. "The moon is the accumulated cold air of Yin. The larger part becomes water, and the essence of water air is thus the moon."

It lives on water, and emerges with the help of the moon, in harmony with the new moon, to be reborn!

This is the power that Shen Shuibi has accumulated!

She gathered the power that had dissipated due to her injuries around herself, forming this luminous moon, symbolizing rebirth like the new moon. By using the power of the 'lunar cycle of regeneration,' she prepared a second life for herself!

But then the moonlight enveloped Shen Shuibi's body.

The moonlight shines upon him, and the stillness of the night dispels all dust.

The moon shines brightly on the jade steps, shrouded in frost and mist, its light flowing and shimmering, reflecting the ripples on the water.

Shen Shuibi's Yang Spirit dispersed and merged into the surrounding Yin moonlight, then condensed into a ball, from which a brand new, undamaged Yang Spirit flew out.

There is no physical body, because the physical body and Blood Qi have been sacrificed as offerings.

This method of rebirth is not a panacea; otherwise, she wouldn't have been beaten so badly and lost all her cultivation before Li Qi picked her up.

But that's enough to deal with these people.

For this battle, Shen Shuibi used all her wisdom and strength, even blasting away one of her golden cores. How could she not have considered everything thoroughly?

However... in return, her enemies will also be well-informed and have an unknown number of Trump Card up their sleeves.

Therefore, we cannot let our guard down.

The moment she recovered from all her injuries and her Yang Spirit was rebuilt, she realized why her opponent had lost his composure.

They're Unreturning Disciples, they're coming!

Just a few minutes ago.

On the Void Battlefield, on the position of the Unreturning Disciples.

Cha Xike was panting heavily, his armor was also covered in wounds, and the Divine Ability pearls he had accumulated were almost exhausted. His armor was extremely dependent on external forces and needed to constantly use the pearls to provide the blessing of the Great Dao.

But after this battle, he had almost exhausted all his savings, many of which were precious gems left over from his home world. With the destruction of that world, they had become extinct. He had used up his last one, and there would never be any more of those gems in this universe.

On the other side, Gou Lou, as a martial artist, was much more pure, but he had also exhausted his strength and retreated to the back to catch his breath, otherwise he would have really died from exhaustion.

The two men caught their breath and tried to recover their fighting strength as quickly as possible so that they could rejoin the relentless battle against the Human Path generals.

The Unreturning Disciples also had a dozen or so fifth-rank soldiers of varying skill levels. These dozen or so men ganged up on the five opponents, including strong fifth-rank soldiers like Gou Lou and Cha Xike. By engaging in this kind of tit-for-tat battle, they managed to hold off the opponents. As for winning... it would probably take some more time.

While catching their breath, the two were also talking.

"Over there, it seems that Madam can't hold them off by herself." Gou Lou noticed that Shen Shuibi was no longer able to stop the phased array in the distance, as a fifth-rank Mo family member was leading an army of 100,000 to dismantle the array.

"There's nothing we can do, we can't handle it." Cha Xike replied, "The two of us combined can barely fight off that Mo family. Let alone their 100,000 men, those 100,000 men alone could wipe out both of us."

"Draw half of the Unreturning Disciples to join the two of us in holding them off and preventing the phased array from being destroyed," Gou Lou said coldly.

Cha Xike shook his head. "That would be suicide. If we fight here now, we have a good chance of winning, a very good chance. But if we really split up, we might really die. Not only will the two of us die, Unreturning Disciples will be buried here."

Gou Lou wiggled his tentacles, relaxing his tense muscles, and replied, "What's the use of us all surviving? If we can't protect the detector, what's the point of our lives? If Human Path Vanguard, think about how much we can gain?"

This made Cha Xike pause for a moment.

Yeah, how much can you earn?

Those few fifth-rank individuals can influence the overall situation. If Human Path loses... how many will die? There might even be a few second-rank individuals who will be buried with us.

In this one lifetime, how many opportunities does one have to die with a second-rank official?

This is a one-time offer!

However, he still said with some concern, "I'm afraid it will be difficult. Now that we have a chance of winning, everyone is united. If we send people to fight a battle where we are sure to die, even if it is a win, some people will still have doubts."

At this time, if the morale of the army wavers and the fighting spirit declines, they may collapse directly. The Unreturning Disciples were originally a rabble, and the formation they have assembled now was even something that Shen Shuibi has temporarily developed.

Driven by hatred, they may fight hard battles with their lives, but it is not easy to send them to their deaths or to do things that they are bound to die.

At least Cha Xike thought it was unrealistic.

But to everyone's surprise, Gou Lou shook his head. "I believe them."

"Trust them? That's gambling with your life!" Cha Xike's voice was somewhat dissatisfied.

Just as Cha Xike didn't believe Shen Shuibi, he also didn't actually believe most of the Unreturning Disciples. The destruction of the world had already made him somewhat neurotic.

Besides, even if the world hadn't been destroyed, he absolutely couldn't believe that the Unreturning Disciples would remain steadfast under such circumstances.

That's something Human Path would do; there are quite a few selfish people among the Unreturning Disciples.

"We're gambling with our lives right now," Gou Lou said, hitting the nail on the head.

"Even if we all survive, what's the point if we don't achieve our goal? Besides... I don't think anyone will survive if we lose," Gou Lou said.

"I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid things won't go well," Cha Xike frowned.

"If the phased array is breached, then that would be a real disaster," Gou Lou finally advised.

Cha Xike still felt it was very risky, but there was nothing he could do.

He also knew that if the phased array was destroyed, things would be really difficult to handle. Even if they managed to clean up the mess and go back, it would mean the failure of the operation, and the Human Path would be more vigilant afterward.

Although, Human Path authorities were already on guard.

Let's do it!

Cha Xike hardened his heart, clenched his fist, and said, "Fine, then so be it!"

The internal decision-making process among the Unreturning Disciples has been completed.

Gou Lou immediately sent out a message, informing himself that he needed to transfer some of his men to participate in a more difficult battle.

As Cha Xike had predicted, this caused a huge uproar among the Unreturning Disciples.

The Unreturning Disciples, who had been fighting fiercely, suddenly faltered.

With the blessing of the formation, they were able to transmit their messages to their commander, who in turn was able to transmit the information to a higher level, eventually reaching Goulou and Cha Xike.

However, the answer he received was beyond Cha Xike's expectations.

The will of the Unreturning Disciples exceeded Cha Xike's expectations; almost 90% of the group agreed to the action.

Another fifth-rank soldier who was fighting sent back a message: "Half of us deserve to die, most of the other half deserve to die several times, and the rest are beyond redemption by death... should have died long ago."

All of this was exactly what Gou Lou had anticipated. He waved his gray-blue tentacles and said, "How many people can witness the destruction of their own world like we have? We can both die, so why should we look down on the determination of others?"

Cha Xike burst into laughter, then stood up. "Hahaha! I was wrong, I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake, I'll be the vanguard in a bit!"

A few minutes later, two fifth-rank officials suddenly entered Shen Shuibi's battlefield.

Accompanying them were about 1.5 million people, half of whom had been Unreturning Disciples.

This number shows that the Unreturning Disciples suffered heavy casualties earlier... There were four to five million people who participated in the war, but now only one and a half million remain.

These people quickly disrupted the formation of the five fifth-rank officials, allowing Shen Shuibi to easily turn the tide.

However, the Soldier's Qi of the Unreturning Disciples quickly enveloped the battlefield, suppressing the fifth-rank Qi within it. Their Divine Ability Technique Method were weakened by the Soldier's Qi, preventing them from causing widespread damage.

This is the most important point about an army's encirclement and killing: the power of these Technique Method may be reduced, but the consumption is not. As a result, there is a possibility of being worn down by the army.

The five fifth-rank soldiers immediately took action, preparing to break up the army's formation!

Once the army breaks up, it becomes a rabble of just over a million men, whom they could wipe out with a wave of their hand.

A terrifying burst of energy erupted, but it was quickly weakened by the surrounding Soldier's Qi.

On the other side, the Unreturning Disciples also immediately took defensive measures, with layers upon layers of barriers flashing in their Soldier's Qi.

Even someone with a mental disability wouldn't slack off at a time like this, because fighting a fifth-rank enemy is very dangerous and they have to be fully focused and give it their all to save their own lives.

However, none of the layers could hold out; they were all blasted apart, and the Technique Method struck the army formation squarely.

However, under the defense of the Soldier's Qi, the power of all the Technique Method was evenly distributed to each person and also spread to their protective Law Treasure. Even Technique Method powerful enough to tear the world apart could not harm the overall formation.

However, if we let five fifth-rank soldiers attack like this for a few more minutes, any military formation will collapse.

Therefore, Gou Lou, empowered by Soldier's Qi, rushed to the opponent's face in an instant.

The martial artist gets close!

Almost simultaneously, Shen Shuibi and Gou Lou also made their move.

With so many advantages combined, even if a fifth-rank Human Path cultivator played their last Trump Card, they were still unable to resist and were swiftly annihilated.

However, their final resistance also resulted in Gou Lou being wounded.

Without hesitation, Shen Shuibi quickly landed beside Gou Lou: "I'll take charge of the fifth-rank unit on the phased array side, and you can handle the rest of the troops."

There's no time for idle chatter. Although Gou Lou is injured, at least he has his hands free.

Gou Lou and Cha Xike were also surprised that Shen Shuibi could maintain this state, which made their plans much more realistic. Without delay, they simply nodded and led their team away.

Shen Shuibi flashed after him and rushed towards the Mohist cultivator.

But all of this is based on the division of forces among the Unreturning Disciples.

At the original battlefield, the Human Way army led by five lieutenant generals began to reverse the situation.

Monthly pass...
