“Chapter 768: Imperial Capital Crisis (Part 4)”

"Great Xia Military Department, Highest Underground Command Room."

"The command room was in absolute chaos."

""Beep——Beep——Beep——!""

"The highest-level red alarm blared through the hall. On the holographic projection screen, red dots representing enemy energy fluctuations were densely intertwined, and the scarlet light illuminated the entire command room."

""Report! The enemy energy index has once again broken through the detection upper limit! The instrument core array is beginning to overload!""

"A technician sitting in front of the detection console stood up, hands clutching the earphones, face pale, and voice trembling."

""Officer Chen! The detection results are out… Th-This is simply impossible!""

"Chen Huaishu strode to the operation console, pressed both hands on the table, stared at the screen, and shouted, "Speak! What on earth is going on?!""

""These people's Ranks… are ridiculously high!" The technician swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "According to the feedback of the life wavebands, among these dozens of people, the lowest is above Rank 85! And…""

""And, among them are five SS-Rank Professionals! Five of them!""

""What did you say?!""

"Chen Huaishu's expression sank, and his body involuntarily swayed."

"Five SS-Ranks?!"

"Plus dozens of top single S-Class Professionals above Rank 85?!"

"Looking at the data on the screen, Chen Huaishu slumped into his chair."

"In this era, Great Xia's highest overt combat power was Marshal Zhao Qingcang and Principal Lin Zhu who had just rushed into the high altitude. The two of them were formidable, but facing such a quantity and tier of high-dimensional crushing, this was not a situation they could handle!"

""Quick! Issue a death order to the surrounding defense zones!" Chen Huaishu turned around and roared at the communications officer, "Mobilize the defense forces of all surrounding cities like Tianjin and Jizhou! Transfer all high-level Professionals who can fly to me, and support the imperial capital at all costs!""

""Sir, it will take at least twenty minutes for the surrounding forces to arrive, and… facing SS-Rank Professionals, conventional troops can't even get close to their high-dimensional coercion range!""

""Even if you can't, you must do it! Fill it with lives! Use Magical Cannons to—" Chen Huaishu violently ripped open the collar of his military uniform, breathing heavily, and then turned to look at another adjutant, "Where is the Ever-changing Star Lord?! I asked you to contact the Ever-changing Star Lord, did you contact him or not?!""

"That adjutant's face turned ashen, and he shook his head."

""Officer Chen… News just came from the Star Pavilion that Lord Ever-changing Star Lord… has already left Great Xia this morning. His current whereabouts are unknown, and communication jade talismans and System private chats have all gone unanswered. We simply cannot actively contact him!""

""Left Great Xia? Right at this critical juncture?!""

"Chen Huaishu clenched his fists tightly."

"He raised his head and, through the heavy monitoring footage of the underground base, looked up at the extremely oppressive black clouds in the sky."

""No matter what method you use, whether employing the highest-level space voice-transmission Formation or sending suicide squads to search various ruins, you must contact the Ever-changing Star Lord for me!" Chen Huaishu said through gritted teeth."

""This destructive power that transcends dimensions… nowadays only he, only he can solve the trouble Great Xia has encountered! Go! Hurry!""

"Meanwhile, thousands of meters above in the high altitude."

"Gale-force winds whistled harshly in the ears."

"Zhao Qingcang wiped away the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, enduring the backlash brought by casting the spatial grand teleportation skill just now, his body still standing upright in mid-air."

"With a gloomy face, he stared at the dozens of powerhouses ahead emanating coercion."

""You…" Zhao Qingcang panted heavily, "What on earth do you want to do?!""

""What do we want to do?""

"A tall, thin man standing behind the black-robed Grand Elder walked out. He crossed his arms and sneered."

""Mundane ants, why do you still dare to speak to us in this tone at a time like this?""

"The tall, thin man raised his chin, sizing up Zhao Qingcang and Lin Zhu beside him. "Did barely catching Batu's 30%-strength strike just now give you some unrealistic illusions? Where on earth do you get the confidence to stand here and question us?""

"He let out a cold sneer."

""If I were you, I would have already groveled and laid low on the ground like a dog! Things have come to this, how can you still not understand the situation? In front of the glory of the old era, your proud double SS-Rank Professionals are as fragile as a joke!""

"Zhao Qingcang's eyes widened, and the silver Law of Space rolled violently around his body: "Great Xia soldiers only die standing, never live on their knees!""

""Forget it.""

"The black-robed Grand Elder, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, frowned."

"He casually waved his wide sleeve robe."

""Don't waste breath on them, wasting our time for nothing.""

"The Grand Elder looked at the two. "Kill them both. As for those clansmen of ours captured by them, we'll search the city ourselves and find them ourselves.""

"He looked down at the massive metropolis below."

""Daring to deal with our Ancient Remnant Clan, daring to treat our people as prisoners… You ignorant and fearless reptiles, your Great Xia's powerhouses have no reason to survive either.""

"Afterwards, the Grand Elder turned his head and called the names of the Earth-element burly man and the tall, thin man."

""Batu, Sk.""

""Here!" The two responded simultaneously."

"The Grand Elder closed his eyes and said, "You two go deal with them. Remember, be quick and clean, don't let the ants below watch the joke for too long.""

""Understood, Grand Elder!""

"Hearing this, the Earth-element burly man named Batu moved his thick neck, his bones making a teeth-aching crackling sound."

""I've long found these two putting-on-airs fellows displeasing to the eye!""

"Batu grinned hideously, and a layer of dark yellow Earth-element Origin Law burst out all over his body."

"Boom!"

"His thick legs kicked in the Void Realm, and the air beneath his feet was actually stomped into a ring of visible white sonic boom clouds!"

"Batu rushed out of the crowd first, his massive body carrying destructive kinetic energy, heading straight for Zhao Qingcang's face!"

""Die! Great Xia bug!""

"Facing the rushing Batu, Zhao Qingcang greeted him forward."

""Want to kill me?! Not that easy!""

"Zhao Qingcang roared angrily, bringing his hands together in front of his chest."

""Hum——!""

"A pair of special metal gauntlets exuding a silver faint light all over covered his fists."

"This was a legendary-grade weapon tailored for him by the Great Xia Military Department pouring all resources—the Rift-Splitting Gauntlets!"

""Lin Zhu, step back! Don't let him get close!""

"Zhao Qingcang shouted loudly, advancing instead of retreating!"

"He frantically poured all the remaining mana value in his body into the gauntlets, and the silver Law of Space was highly compressed, forming an extremely sharp spatial cutting blade on the surface of the gauntlets!"

"Bang!"

"Facing the charging Batu, Zhao Qingcang's fists carried destructive power, fiercely and solidly head-on colliding with the other party's heavy fist, which was a circle larger than a sandbag!"

""Rumble——!!!""

"The sky was completely pierced through!"

"The collision of flesh and flesh, the frantic strangulation of the Law of Space and the Earth-element Origin!"

"The terrifying energy shockwave, starting from the center of their head-on collision, wildly swept and diffused in all directions!"

"Crack! Crack!"

"The Void Realm within a radius of several hundred meters was forcefully cracked open with countless spatial rifts under the pressure of power!"

""Puff——!""

"Under the hard-fought clash, Zhao Qingcang's already injured internal organs suffered heavy damage, a mouthful of blood spewed out wildly, and his entire body was shaken backwards by the overwhelming force for dozens of meters, plowing two deep white air waves in the air."

"But with this punch, he also forcefully checked Batu's unstoppable charge!"

"However, the powerful force erupted by the two at an altitude of thousands of meters crashed without reservation into the imperial capital below."

""Hum——Hum——Hum——!""

"The light blue city defense Formation shrouding the imperial capital, jointly maintained by over a hundred Advanced Formation Masters, violently oscillated under the sweep of the shockwave!"

"Severe fluctuations appeared on the surface of the thick light shield, countless dense cracks spread frantically across the light curtain, and the entire defense grand Formation flickered on and off, tottering, on the verge of complete collapse!"
