The residual thunder still rampaged through heaven and earth.
The shattered Hunting Duke's chunks of flesh scattered in all directions, prompting many monsters to instinctively scramble for them.
The powerhouses were dazed, their eyes still fixed on the powerhouse who had killed the top-tier Hunting Duke head-on with a single punch.
He had relied on no one's cooperation;
He had used no tactics and made no preparations;
He had merely arrived at the scene and thrown one punch—and that punch had cleansed heaven and earth.
Even the monster powerhouses lost their senses for a moment. Those nearby hurriedly fled into the distance, afraid that this killing star would set his sights on them.
—Protecting the Withered Giant Tree was important, but their own lives were more precious!
—They were dignified Hunting Dukes, of course their lives came first!
—The Withered Giant Tree wouldn't be purified so easily anyway.
Uta's dominance and ferocity greatly boosted the powerhouses' morale, while the enemy's fierceness faltered under the impact of that raging aura.
One side rose while the other fell. The gap was obvious.
"Our advantage lies with us!"
a powerhouse shouted.
But before his voice had faded, a sudden change occurred.
"Pfft—"
"Pfft—"
"Pfft—!"
Within the defensive position guarded by the three Epic Grade War Fortresses, the filthy roots shrouded in the Heaven and Earth Purification Light suddenly came alive. Sharp blood-red tendrils abruptly stabbed out from them.
In an instant, they pierced through three powerhouses whose reactions and awareness had simply failed to keep up, though they could not be called completely undefended.
By the time they realized what had happened, their entire bodies had already been impaled. One of them was even wearing Epic Grade armor, yet it still could not block the sudden blood-red vine spikes.
