Mount Tai's Victory

"Oh my God, this is totally unfair. No matter how badly it gets hurt, it heals itself in no time. How are we supposed to fight that?!"

"Exactly! Even Cheng Yaojin popping his ultimate to restore health isn't this absurd!"

"Hey, take this seriously. Hong Kong is on the verge of disaster, and you're over there talking about games."

The people watching the live broadcast all began commenting.

The advantage Mount Tai had built up earlier vanished completely as they watched Bladehead's terrifying self-healing ability.

Everyone fell into despair once more.

There was nothing they could do. This bastard had enabled invincibility cheats.

Dalian Shatterdome Base Command Center.

"Report: Bladehead's blood contains an additional type of cell with the ability to divide and regenerate."

"Is there any way to contain this?"

"Sorry, Commander. There are currently no effective measures. We still know far too little about it."

Mao Shucheng sighed inwardly. This battle was exceptionally difficult.

The battle had already lasted nearly an hour.

The neural drift connection between Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan, who were working together for the first time, was also nearing its limit.

At a time like this, time was life. They did not have the time to wear down the monster.

"Report: Analysis of Bladehead's internal organs is complete. Its primary brain and secondary brain have been located!"

Zhan Siqi reported. She specialized in analyzing monster intelligence, and now she had finally lived up to her mission.

Bladehead's secondary brain was hidden at the back of its neck. Its main purpose was coordinating motor nerves.

It was like a mecha's dual-pilot system, where one pilot controlled the left half of the brain and the other controlled the right.

Bladehead was the largest monster seen so far, so it naturally required a secondary brain to coordinate its body's operations.

Its primary brain was in its head, but the bones there provided tight protection. With Mount Tai's current firepower, it would be difficult to break through from the front.

The secondary brain was a good target. Destroying it would be like destroying a mecha's power system.

No matter how massive it was then, it would be at the mercy of others.

Jin Rong picked up the radio.

"Mount Tai, attack Bladehead's nape! Its secondary brain is there!"

"Understood!"

Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan received the prompt and exchanged a glance.

Now that they knew their opponent's weakness, things would be much easier.

The electronic magnetic storm ring on the right arm retracted.

It reached down toward the root of the right leg and pulled out something resembling a sword hilt.

With a slight flick, the blade concealed inside the hilt sprang out.

It was one of Nation Z's ancient weapons—the Tang Mo Dao!

The Tang horizontal saber was a straight-bladed weapon. The Mo Dao was not too different in shape, except it was broader and thicker.

It was sharpened on both sides.

A long-handled blade, capable of wide, powerful swings and tremendous offensive force.

In ancient times, it was a cold weapon capable of directly confronting cavalry.

It was specifically used to chop horses' legs.

One of the rare divine weapons of the cold-weapon era.

Because its handle was long, the blade had been designed to be hidden within it.

That made it easier to equip inside Mount Tai.

This specially made Mo Dao was forty-four meters long, with its handle and blade in a one-to-one ratio.

The recovered Bladehead launched another charging attack at Mount Tai.

It did not care about the Mo Dao in Mount Tai's hands. In its eyes, it posed less of a threat than the electromagnetic particle cannon from before.

Seeing that its opponent had actually abandoned that method of attack, it naturally would not let the opportunity pass.

Mount Tai gripped the hilt with both hands and waited in full readiness.

It sidestepped Bladehead's fleshy, egg-like charge.

Then it gripped the Mo Dao and slashed once more at Bladehead's foreleg.

Xiao Shou had originally only intended to add a few more wounds to Bladehead and drive it mad.

That would make it easier to find an opening to attack its secondary brain.

But to his surprise, the Mo Dao swept forward as though cutting through empty space.

It sliced off Bladehead's forearm once again.

Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan were stunned. Not only them—even the people watching the live broadcast and the Shatterdome Base Command Center had not expected it.

They had underestimated the Mo Dao's power.

In the era when cavalry ruled the battlefield, the Mo Dao had been enough to make them deeply wary.

If a small unit of Mo Dao soldiers faced an equal number of cavalry, the Mo Dao soldiers would inevitably win.

Modern people could not truly comprehend the splendor of Nation Z's ancient cold-weapon era.

As the trump card among cold weapons, the Mo Dao naturally did not disappoint.

With a single strike, it severed one of Bladehead's arms.

Of course, it might also have been because it had only just regenerated, and its bones had not yet fully hardened.

But regardless, it demonstrated the Mo Dao's extraordinary qualities.

After more than a thousand years, it revealed its fearsome dominance once again!

Naturally, Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan would not miss such a good opportunity.

They had thought there would still be a bloody battle ahead.

They had never expected the Mo Dao to achieve such a remarkable feat immediately.

Mount Tai turned and slashed again at the back of Bladehead's neck while it was still poised to charge.

Blue blood instantly sprayed out.

"Bladehead's secondary brain signal has been lost. Mount Tai succeeded!"

"Beautifully done!"

Cheers immediately erupted in the command center.

Even Mao Shucheng was no exception.

Bladehead whimpered as it collapsed. Having lost the drive from its secondary brain, it was temporarily unable to move.

Of course, this would only be temporary. Once its primary brain took over the motor center, it would naturally recover.

But that would take time, and Mount Tai naturally would not give it that chance.

It immediately closed in, gripped the Mo Dao tightly with both hands, and drove it fiercely down into Bladehead's head.

Bladehead's shrill howl echoed through the sky, and only after a long while did it gradually fall silent.

Even as they looked at the motionless Bladehead, Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan remained on guard and did not dare relax.

Who knew whether it would heal itself again?

"Use the electromagnetic particle cannon to blast its head apart!"

Mao Shucheng gave the order to Mount Tai through the radio.

"Understood!"

Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan no longer hesitated.

"Disengage safety mode. Electromagnetic particle cannon ready!"

Mount Tai's right arm aimed at Bladehead's head.

The electronic magnetic storm ring appeared again, the barrel extended, and three shots were fired directly at Bladehead.

Bladehead's head was completely pulverized.

"Report, Commander: Bladehead's internal organs have indeed ceased all life activity!"

Mao Shucheng clenched his right fist and swung it fiercely.

"We won!"

Cheers immediately rang throughout the entire Dalian Shatterdome Base.

The female host conducting the live broadcast received the news from above.

The footage froze on Bladehead's shattered head and Mount Tai standing beside it, truly like a great mountain guarding the coastal border.

"We have won!"

The female host announced it in an excited, impassioned voice.

Every citizen watching the live broadcast erupted in celebration!

Families embracing one another and weeping with joy could be seen everywhere across the country.

Excited students threw their books and test papers high into the air, scattering them across the ground. Their teachers watched with smiles in their eyes and did not stop them. At a time like this, they naturally would not spoil the moment.

The crowds gathered in the streets to watch the giant screens were even more boisterous. Quite a few young couples, overcome with excitement, kissed passionately right there in the streets.

The crackling sounds of firecrackers were also endless, no less lively than New Year's Eve.

At that moment, the gloom hanging over the people of the entire nation completely dissipated!

In the hearts of the public, the monster threat had fallen to its lowest point.

Because they had heroes!
