Chapter 176

"Thank goodness you came."

She said it softly.

Then, while Huohuo and Sushang were still cleaning up the battlefield and finishing off the enemy, he gently kissed Ji Yuan on the lips.

After the kiss, Huohuo came back, and Tingyun quickly released Ji Yuan.

"Teacher, those Anti-Matter Legion have all been wiped out."

Upon hearing her report, Ji Yuan patted her head.

Huohuo felt very satisfied.

Sushang returned completely exhausted, Ji Yuan, seeing this, quickly hugged his younger sister.

Tingyun and Huohuo looked at each other and exchanged a glance, but said nothing.

"I'm so tired."

Sushang said to Ji Yuan.

"Okay, you can rest assured and relax. I'll take care of the rest."

"As for my studies..."

"Sushang, you're not young anymore. You're way past the age of daydreaming."

Sushang rolled her eyes at her brother in annoyance.

Why is it like this here?

Tingyun asked Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan replied, "It seems the Anti-Matter Legion has attacked again. Let's not stay here any longer; let's hurry back to the Belobog defense line. There, an even fiercer battle is probably already underway."

"Oh? Then let's hurry back."

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay. Let's go, you guys follow me. Let's not go head-on into the main force of those Anti-Matter Legion, let's go around to Belobog from another direction."

Charging head-on against the Anti-Matter Legion is manageable in other aspects, but the key issue is that with Celenova around, there's really no way to deal with that guy.

Fortunately, according to reports from the spies Voidranger among them, perhaps because they looked down on Belobog's current forces, Celenova did not intend to disperse and encircle them, but instead sent the entire force to press forward all at once.

In other directions of Belobog, there are few Anti-Matter Legion.

There was little risk for Ji Yuan and the others to rush over.

Really,

They entered Belobog from another direction without encountering much resistance.

Upon entering Belobog, Ji Yuan said to Tingyun and the others, "You all go to Klippefort to rest first. I'll go to the front lines to provide support now."

"Ji Yuan, be careful."

"Hey bro, be careful."

"Teacher, please be careful."

Tingyun, Sushang Huohuo, and the other two gave Ji Yuan some instructions.

"Don't worry, I..."

Ji Yuan wanted to say that he would be back soon, but then he thought that would be too much of a promise, so he quickly took it back.

"I will fight seriously."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran towards the front line.

Now that the battle has begun, he's also switching to his diligent mode.

Ji Yuan arrived at the front line, where the Silvermane Guards were already engaged in fierce combat with the Voidranger of the Anti-Matter Legion. Meanwhile, the Tramplers were being held back by employees of the Interastral Peace Corporation using ranged attacks.

Upon arriving here, Ji Yuan immediately sensed a strong smell of blood.

Looking into the distance, I saw many Baryon gathering together, seemingly preparing to unleash a combined attack of light towards the defensive line.

Ji Yuan, of course, wouldn't let this happen. Just as he was about to do something, a small black hole appeared above the Baryon. The Baryon had no way to resist the black hole's pull, and the entire assembled formation was sucked into it.

"You're back?"

Welt Yang then appeared beside Ji Yuan and asked him a question.

"Yes, that's right."

Upon hearing Welt's words, Ji Yuan nodded.

Welt Young looked around again and said with some disappointment:

"Is Himeko still repairing those Creation Engine?"

"Yes."

"It seems we'll have to wait a while longer."

Welt Young was somewhat disappointed.

Then he swung his staff again, unleashing an attack that wiped out a large number of the Anti-Matter Legion.

"I'll go check on the others and see if they need any help."

Welt nodded.

Then Ji Yuan glanced at them and came to Topaz and Bronya, who were giving instructions.

"All Silvermane Guards, hold your ground and absolutely do not allow the Anti-Matter Legion to break through."

As Bronya was speaking, a shadow suddenly appeared behind her—a Voidranger of the Anti-Matter Legion. Ji Yuan took out a Jade Abacus and shot it at the phantom.

"As commanders, you must be careful about your own safety."

Ji Yuan came to their side and gave them a reminder.

"Um."

Bronya nodded, still shaken.

She then asked Ji Yuan, "The battle here..."

"Of course, you guys will be in charge. You wouldn't expect me to do it, would you? I have no experience commanding large-scale troops," Ji Yuan said frankly.

He had no prior experience commanding large-scale battles, so this task should be left to professionals.

"Okay, sure."

Seeing that Ji Yuan truly had no intention of seizing power, Bronya continued fighting.

At this moment, Dan Heng also transformed into the form of Imbibitor Lunae. He used both hands to conjure a water dragon that wiped out a large number of the Voidranger.

Just as he was about to launch another attack, an extremely terrifying destructive energy came from afar and flew towards him.

Dan Heng looked somewhat shocked and quickly unleashed the power of the High Elder to attack that destructive energy.

However, his water dragon was completely outmatched by the destructive power and was instantly shattered into pieces.

The destructive energy continued its attack. Dan Heng then felt a soft sword wrap around his waist, sending him flying backward. After the soft sword took his body away, a small black hole appeared before the destructive energy.

Previously, this destructive energy had clashed head-on with Dan Heng's High Elder power, and had already consumed a considerable amount of it. Now, facing the black hole, it was finally neutralized.

The soft sword was wielded by Ji Yuan. He saw that Dan Heng was in danger and quickly used the soft sword to bring him over.

Are you alright?

Ji Yuan asked Dan Heng a question.

"Um."

Dan Heng nodded.

Welt Young then walked over as well.

Just as they were about to say something, everyone present felt a powerful pressure slowly appear behind the Anti-Matter Legion.

The Voidranger and tramplers of the Anti-Matter Legion separated from each other, and a haughty woman dressed in white slowly walked out.

Upon seeing this beautiful woman, everyone felt a sense of dread.

They were all a little out of breath.

The Lord of Destruction - Celenova.

Her appearance immediately drew everyone's attention to her.

Celenova was quite satisfied with the current situation.

Hmph,

Unless it's Lord Nanook, all the attention here should be on me.

"How is it? Is the person who dared to swing her sword at me yesterday better or dead? Although she lacked self-awareness, her swordsmanship was quite good."

Celenova looked up at the sky, not at all looking at Ji Yuan.

Jingliu appeared beside Ji Yuan at this moment and said coldly to Celenova, "I think I won't be in any trouble before you die."

"Talking tough won't work." Celenova still didn't look at Jingliu: "If you have time, you might as well write down your sword moves for a while, so that you won't have to worry about no one to pass them on after you die."

Jingliu said disdainfully, "My swordsmanship has already been passed down to someone. If you were to die here, the Aeon of Destruction would probably find a more suitable vanguard."

"You're still being stubborn."

Celenova was so angry that he stood up abruptly.

His gaze Jingliu, who was holding a sword, and on Ji Yuan was standing to the side.

"Are you the one who defeated the two Lord of Destruction, Zephyro and Phantylia? The fact that you are still alive is a disgrace to our entire Lord of Destruction."

"Yes, now we plan to defeat one more and take the scale up a bit more."

Ji Yuan nodded and said in a provocative tone:

Celenova laughed in anger, saying to Ji Yuan and Jingliu, "You two are really arrogant!"

She pointed.

"All of you from Belobog, I'm giving you a chance to live. Hand over these two guys now, and I guarantee you can leave this planet safely. Otherwise, stay here and die with them."

Her words were extremely arrogant, and even when she gave a reward, she spoke in a condescending tone.

However, everyone knew that her arrogance also made her promises very effective.

When she says "release," she truly means release; there's no intention of playing word games whatsoever.

She scoffed.

Hearing her say that, the higher-ups didn't have many questions, but the lower-level soldiers and employees started to have doubts.

Seeing this opportunity, Celenova immediately ordered the Anti-Matter Legion to launch an attack.

The Anti-Matter Legion immediately surged forward like a tidal wave.

At this moment, the Silvermane Guards and their staff were uncertain about the situation and their defenses were breached several times in succession.

"Those soldiers..." Bronya bit her lip and said to Ji Yuan beside her, "We must restore their morale."

"That's easy."

Ruan Mei appeared beside Ji Yuan at some unknown time.

"Ms. Nguyen Mai, what are your plans?"

"Of course, we'll use some life science methods."

Nguyen Mai said with a smile.

As she finished speaking, the Silvermane Guards were stunned for a moment, and then their morale soared instantly.

"What... what did you do?"

Bronya asked Nguyen Mai.

"Yes, I just sprinkled some medicine extracted from the mushrooms, and the Silvermane Guards started hallucinating."

"What hallucination?"

"Of course, it should look like the city was destroyed by the Anti-Matter Legion. Only when they truly know the terror of the Anti-Matter Legion will they fight to the death."
