In the time that followed, the Qi and Blood Power kept Basiba's once-ferocious demonic remains completely in check.
Two Pillaring Grandmasters who had mastered the Five Organs Chapter of the Human Immortal Martial Dao joined forces with four Transforming Strength Great Boxers. They surrounded Basiba's demonic remains and unleashed every killing move in their arsenals. Under the relentless assault, bolstered by fierce Qi and Blood Power, the Dark Light rippled and visibly thinned.
More importantly, the lower half of the Blood Qi Puppet grafted onto Basiba's remains was relatively fragile. Scoured by the fierce Qi and Blood Power, it began to crack under the tremendous impacts. Flesh split and tore apart.
Bits of flesh broke off and disintegrated under the onslaught, as though ground down by an angle grinder. Mangled flesh gave way to blue bones.
Li Hansha's double drew a deep breath. Driven by Qi and Blood Power, his Roaring Tiger Golden Bell Shield surged to life, forming a great blood-red bell around his body. He stepped forward and brought his palm down. The bell slammed toward Basiba's demonic remains.
Clang!!
The bell-shaped Qi and Blood Power collided with the Dark Light. The force of that palm strike exceeded ten tons. As the Dark Light shuddered, the tremendous impact passed through Basiba's remains into the grafted lower half of the Blood Qi Puppet.
Crack...
With a sharp snap, the blue bones finally gave way and shattered.
Basiba's demonic remains dropped lower. Without the grafted Legionary Commander-level Blood Qi Puppet, the threat it posed plummeted. It could no longer move with its former agility, and the eyes of the Pillaring Grandmaster and four Transforming Strength Great Boxers surrounding it lit up.
Earlier, in the Wu Ming Ruins, Basiba's demonic remains had moved like a phantom after grafting on the Legionary Commander-level Blood Qi Puppet. Riding the Dark Light, it had darted up and down the passage. Its sharp nails had extended several feet of Dark Light, cutting like high-frequency oscillating blades. Only Qi and Blood Power could offer any resistance.
Now that the remains were incomplete again, Wang Tianba laughed and hammered down with a backhand punch. Qi and Blood Power surged toward Basiba's demonic remains. "This thing can take a beating! Let's see how many punches you can stand! Hahaha..."
After taking another round of blows, Basiba's demonic remains instinctively tried to flee. But with two Pillaring Grandmasters and four Transforming Strength Great Boxers closing in for the kill, every desperate charge was intercepted. It could not escape.
Realizing there was no way out, it reacted. The Dark Light around it shook violently and gave off a dangerous aura. The two Pillaring Grandmasters and four Transforming Strength Great Boxers stiffened. Without hesitation, they kicked off the ground and shot backward.
Boom!!
The instant the six retreated, the Dark Light swelled like a balloon, engulfing an area more than ten meters across. It silently tore a vast crater in the ground. At the bottom lay Basiba's remains, dehydrated like a mummy and utterly still.
The official Special Operations Forces watching from a distance, along with their commander, Major Chen, felt their hearts pound at the sight of the crater. The blast had covered a larger area than some explosives and had left a hole almost as big as a shell crater. Even an Armored Vehicle or a tank might not have withstood it.
The onlookers farther away cried out as well. They stared nervously at the crater, talking all at once.
"Is it over?!"
"That Great Yuan Imperial Advisor was terrifying, wasn't he? A fragment of his remains still had that kind of destructive power after being sealed away for six or seven hundred years. How powerful was he at his peak...?"
"Damn... I just want to know how much history has been rewritten. Why was there never any record of monsters like him...?"
"I'm starting to think everything I learned in history class was fake!!"
As the battlefield fell quiet, Liu Qing'er, Fang Xiu, Li Xingming, Wang Xiaoai, and Ye Zhen, who had come as disciples, all breathed a sigh of relief.
The two Pillaring Grandmasters and four Transforming Strength Great Boxers exchanged glances and cautiously approached the edge of the crater. They, too, sensed that Basiba's remains had lost every trace of life. No hint of danger came from them anymore.
Fang Hansong let out a long breath and said with a sigh, "We finally wore this thing down. Basiba truly lived up to his reputation as a Great Yuan Imperial Advisor whose name survived in history..."
"The thing's dead, and that's good enough for me. I'm eager to get back and study the Human Immortal Martial Dao Five Organs Chapter. Farewell, everyone! Hahaha..." Wang Tianba cupped his fists to the others in farewell. As a martial arts fanatic, what could possibly draw him more than a cultivation method that touched the supernatural?
Gu Chen withdrew his consciousness from his connection with Li Hansha's double. Li Hansha likewise cupped his fists in farewell, then turned and headed toward the distant forest, just as he had come.
The other four Transforming Strength Great Boxers did not leave. Their disciples were still here, after all.
The fierce battle was finally over, leaving devastation behind. Major Chen, the official in charge, hurried to organize the scene and arrange treatment for the injured members of the Official Elite Special Operations Forces. Seeing this, the onlookers stepped forward to help.
Of course, some of the spectators who had filmed the brutal fight uploaded their footage. It caused an immediate uproar and swept across the internet. People who had witnessed it firsthand also posted accounts and videos explaining what had happened, drawing countless viewers.
