"Where did this kid come from? Why is he so strange?"
Qi Gan stared at Lu Tao, his heart filled with rage and a deep sense of frustration.
He never expected that he, a powerful expert of the Divine Platform, would be forced to such a state by a mere child in the early stage of the Innate Realm.
The operation, which had been planned for more than ten years and was about to succeed, was ruined by a song.
There are many martial arts techniques and skills in the martial arts world.
The same applies to songs.
But songs are generally meant to be enjoyed.
There are songs on the battlefield that boost one's own fighting strength, but none that can stir the heart and evoke guilt and remorse.
In fact, formations can achieve this.
However, setting up an array that covers the entire Mufeng City is extremely difficult.
also.
Even peerless experts at the level of Martial King or Martial God could do it, but such experts could easily wipe out these traitors with a flick of their wrists, so why bother with all this?
Yongkang Prefecture has neither such a formation nor any Martial King or Martial God.
But then Lu Tao, an oddball, appeared and turned the tables with just one song.
This made Qi Gan very curious: who exactly was Lu Tao and where did he come from?
Qi Gan was curious, and so was Kong Hao.
However, while he was curious, he was also filled with joy and relief.
If Lu Tao hadn't appeared, Mufeng City would have been in grave danger, Yongkang Prefecture would have been in grave danger, and as for him, he might not have survived.
Therefore, Kong Hao always kept some of his attention on Lu Tao to prevent anyone from ambushing him and causing an accident.
And so, a group of people flew out of Mufeng City, transforming into streaks of light and rushing into the distance.
Along the way, desperate screams could be heard intermittently.
——
"Ah, let's die together!"
Boom...
A master-level expert self-destructed.
Unfortunately, the cultivators from the Great Gan Kingdom had anticipated this scene and decisively distanced themselves to continue their pursuit of the others.
If these people don't self-destruct, then keep chasing them. Anyway, the longer it drags on, the greater the impact on them will be, and they will die sooner or later.
The cultivators of the Great Gan Kingdom would naturally not risk dying together with them.
There's no need for that.
From the initial complete annihilation of early-stage Grandmasters to the gradual slaughter of mid-stage Grandmasters, and now even the killing of late-stage Grandmasters.
This is simply incredible.
Keep in mind that only about 15 minutes had passed.
In just 15 minutes, the Great Gan Kingdom not only turned the tide but also nearly wiped out the rebels.
Now only a dozen or so late-stage Grandmasters and several Divine Platform experts remain; all the other traitors have been killed.
"Smoke rises, the land... hatred rages, long swords... horses gallop south, people go north... a grand undertaking demands that all sides come to offer their congratulations!"
Lu Tao lagged far behind the master, his singing continuing uninterrupted, maintaining a good distance.
He neither gave the traitors of the altar the opportunity to assassinate him, nor allowed his singing to stray too far from the traitors of the Grandmaster, thus continuously affecting their minds.
"Ugh, I can't take it anymore."
"Qi Gan, I'll fuck your grandpa!"
Before long, some late-stage Grandmaster-level experts began to lose control of their minds, their spirits were gradually destroyed, and they became insane.
Qi Gan cursed angrily, then suddenly turned around and charged towards Lu Tao with a frenzied abandon of defense, looking like he was about to self-destruct.
Others, seeing this, instinctively tried to avoid it.
But seeing him rush towards Lu Tao, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet him head-on.
Boom...
This person has exposed himself.
Its power was so great that an area within a three-mile radius was instantly leveled.
As for the several grandmasters who stood in his way, they were blasted away and seriously injured.
"Qi Gan, you will die a horrible death!"
Just as one person self-destructed, another grandmaster-level expert cursed loudly and also chose to self-destruct.
Then……
One after another, these grandmasters made the same choice in their later years.
They seemed to know they couldn't survive, so they chose to perish together with the cultivators of the Great Gan Kingdom.
"Qi Gan, your father doesn't want you, your mother has abandoned you!"
Boom, boom, boom...
The late-stage Grandmasters seemed to have come to terms with it, and before they died, they all cursed Qi Gan, as if they had been coerced into participating in this riot.
What's even more puzzling is that they hated Qi Gan so much, yet they didn't choose to perish together with him, which is quite strange.
"careful!"
"Everyone, unite and fight back!"
A group of people were in a flurry of activity. A large group of Grandmaster-level experts, regardless of their cultivation level, all stood in front of Lu Tao and took action to block the power of the self-destruction.
Lu Tao naturally took action as well, donning both the golden silk soft armor and the iron armor, channeling his vital energy to create a shield to withstand the aftershocks of the self-destruction.
Boom...
The combined power of more than ten late-stage Grandmasters self-destructing was immense; not to mention Grandmasters, even Divine Platform experts wouldn't dare to withstand it head-on.
Pfft, hiss, whoosh...
In an instant, the terrifying force of the self-destruction spread in all directions. On the side of the Great Gan Kingdom, dozens of Grandmaster-level experts, including several Grandmasters at the peak of their cultivation, were all blasted back hundreds of feet.
All of them were injured, some seriously.
Lu Tao was alright; he was protected by two layers of shields and was not injured.
However, Manager Feng, who was with him, was seriously injured.
Below, a mountain range was shattered and turned into a flat plain. This was the power of a Grandmaster's self-destruction, terrifying beyond belief.
"Ha, so this is your choice? You're despised by everyone."
Ahead.
Kong Hao, who had been relentlessly pursuing Qi Gan, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that none of his own men had died, and then began to mock Qi Gan.
Qi Gan glanced silently behind him, his expression extremely calm, as if he didn't take the angry curses to heart at all, and didn't care about Kong Hao's mockery.
Qi Gan gave Lu Tao a deep look, then fled towards the ancient barbarian kingdom without looking back.
"Hmph, you can't escape."
Kong Hao launched a frenzied attack, his spear flashing like a dragon, relentlessly attacking and killing the leader of the Yin Wind Sect and Qi Gan.
The two had previously attacked him and made moves against low-level cultivators in Mufeng City, which had hindered his progress.
Now that he has left Mufeng City, there is nothing left to restrain him, and he once again pursues the two men relentlessly.
Qi Gan and the leader of the Yin Feng Sect had no choice but to fight and flee, avoiding further entanglement with Kong Hao.
However, their strength was still much weaker than Kong Hao's, and they were mostly on the defensive, which inevitably allowed Kong Hao to find opportunities.
Just as the leader of the Yin Wind Sect was escaping after successfully defending against Kong Hao's attacks, a tiny needle suddenly shot out from Kong Hao's sleeve.
puff……
The needle was extremely fast, arriving in an instant.
It pierced directly through the Yin Wind Sect leader's protective aura, instantly entering his body and then roaming wildly within him.
"I never expected that you, Master Kong with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would resort to sneak attacks."
Enraged, the leader of the Yin Wind Sect suppressed the spiritual needles with his vital energy and soul while mocking Kong Hao.
Kong Hao said nonchalantly, "Do I need to talk about martial ethics when dealing with a traitor like you?"
As they were talking.
Kong Hao even abandoned Qi Gan and suddenly attacked the leader of the Yin Feng Sect. His attack suddenly increased several times, as he was using a secret technique.
Kong Hao wanted to take one away first. Once the leader of the Yin Feng Sect was seriously injured or killed by him, he would be very confident that he could leave all the traitors behind.
"Qi Gan, save me!"
The leader of the Yin Wind Sect was shocked. Kong Hao was burning his essence and vital energy, and he was no match for him. Even if he could resist for a while by burning his essence, he would still die in the end.
However, upon hearing his cries for help, Qi Gan not only did not choose to save him, but instead sped away.
call out!
Qi Gan decisively abandoned the leader of the Yin Wind Sect, used his movement technique to escape rapidly into the distance, even at the cost of burning his own life essence.
"Qi Gan!!!"
Upon seeing this, the leader of the Yin Wind Cult was furious.
"Self-destruct, hold them all off!"
At that moment, on the vast altar in the mind of the Yin Wind Sect leader, there was an earth-gray mark, from which came a voice—Qi Gan's command.
Faced with this order, the leader of the Yin Wind Sect seemed to receive instructions from his master, gave a bitter smile, and looked at Kong Hao with a desolate expression.
"Qi Gan, I'll be waiting for you in hell!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the leader of the Yin Wind Sect advanced instead of retreating, lunging at Kong Hao.
boom……
Buzz...
Two voices rang out simultaneously, one loud and one soft.
The most serious incident was the self-destruction of the Yin Wind Cult leader's physical body; the least serious was the self-destruction of his soul.
In an instant, a devastating force appeared.
"snort!"
Kong Hao snorted angrily, and a shield appeared in his hand, instantly growing to a height of over a hundred feet, standing in front of Kong Hao. The shield had a very thick protective shield on it.
With a bang.
The force of the explosion was immense; the shield held for only a moment before shattering instantly, then slammed into it.
Click click...
Three breaths later, the shield shattered.
But this also negated most of its power.
puff.
Even so, its power was astonishing, instantly repelling Kong Hao, then other Divine Platform experts, and then sweeping past other Grandmasters and Innate Realm experts...
Even the other powerful figures from the Divine Platform who had defected were blasted away by the force of this self-destruction.
"ah……"
"Buzz!!!"
Whether it's the power of physical self-destruction or the power of soul self-destruction, the force is too great, far beyond what a Grandmaster or Innate Realm expert can withstand.
Therefore.
When the aftershocks swept over them, the weaker ones were blasted away and seriously injured, some even lost limbs, and dozens of innate masters were shattered.
Especially the self-destruction of the soul.
It has a greater impact on grandmasters and those with innate abilities.
Many people were experiencing a buzzing in their heads and damage to their consciousness. Some had blank stares and became mentally impaired, unable to recover for a while and completely losing their fighting ability.
"So strong!"
Seeing this power, Lu Tao was terrified. The power of this self-destruction was several times stronger than that of the battle between Kong Hao and the others.
Especially.
This was even after Kong Hao's shield had absorbed most of the power. Without Kong Hao's shield, the others would probably have died from this self-destruction.
Lu Tao was unharmed, protected by two shields, and his divine sense had reached the peak of the Innate Realm. He was also far away, so he was only blasted away by a hundred feet.
Lu Tao activated his Heavenly Eye and looked into the distance.
All I could see was...
In the distance, a deep pit with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters appeared in the mountains.
Further away, vast swathes of forest were destroyed, collapsing and turning into plains.
"This is just a self-destruction at the seventh level of the Divine Platform. It shouldn't even reach the level of a Martial King's attack. Tsk tsk, how strong must a Martial King be?"
Lu Tao didn't actually know much about the combat power in the martial arts world before, since he hadn't had much contact with them, especially with powerful figures like Grandmasters, Divine Platforms, Martial Kings, and Martial Gods.
They know absolutely nothing about them.
Only now do I realize how terrifying it is.
If the Divine Platform realm is already this powerful, one can only imagine how strong the even stronger Martial Kings and Martial Gods are.
"Cough cough, you bastard, you just exploded like that? When did the seventh level of the Divine Platform become so reckless with their lives?"
Kong Hao coughed as he got up from the ground, his face looking very pale.
Starting from the Innate Realm, each time a person advances to a higher realm, their lifespan doubles. A Divine Platform Realm expert has a lifespan of at least eight hundred years, and even if they are in a dangerous situation, they would not so decisively self-destruct.
Even if it were to self-destruct, it wouldn't destroy its soul along with the body; at most, only the physical body would self-destruct, creating an opportunity for the soul to escape.
As a result, the leader of the Yin Wind Cult did just that, detonating both of them together without the slightest hesitation, a decisiveness that was frightening.
Kong Hao vaguely guessed that all of this must be related to Qi Gan.
"This bastard has them under his control? These people are his servants?"
Kong Hao guessed that he couldn't think of any other reason besides this.
"Kill these people first, then settle accounts with that bastard."
Thinking this, Kong Hao was preparing to kill the other seven traitors of the Divine Platform when he saw...
"Qi Gan, your father doesn't love you, and your mother doesn't care about you!"
Boom!!!
After a relieved smile appeared on the faces of these powerful figures from the Divine Platform, they also decisively self-destructed.
The impact of the self-destruction blasted the others away again, adding to their injuries.
Some people who were originally seriously injured but were able to survive died on the spot.
Even those powerful figures from the Divine Platform were seriously injured.
Three of them were severely injured by the full force of the self-destruction, and one was killed instantly.
As a result, a large number of powerful warriors supporting the front lines were tied up.
"You bastard!"
Seeing the heavy casualties suffered by the support team, Kong Hao flew into a rage.
Qi Gan was too ruthless, sacrificing everyone except himself just to delay Kong Hao and his reinforcements.
It must be said, he did it.
At this moment, even Kong Hao was seriously injured, not to mention the other Divine Platform and Grandmaster levels, all of whom were wounded.
"Those who can still stand, come with me to the front lines. The rest of you, stay here and heal your wounds!"
Kong Hao waved his hand, and a large pile of bottles and jars appeared, all filled with healing pills, which landed in everyone's hands.
"Yes, Lord!"
The next moment, Kong Hao led the remaining powerful warriors, including Lu Tao, to the front line at full speed.
