The angry roars of the beasts gradually faded into the distance.
Qi Anlan felt a sudden darkness followed by a flash of light before her eyes, and she found herself back in the familiar guerrilla group.
His tense body relaxed slightly.
Jiang Wuyuan, however, was deathly pale, and his meridians were throbbing with pain.
It wasn't a big problem, though. He took out a bottle of stamina potion and started drinking it.
Qi Anlan pressed his hand down and turned to call over a therapist: "Xiao Yang, please treat this student."
Jiang Wuyuan had no choice but to comply, letting the female soldier known as Xiao Yang cast several examination and healing spells on him.
"It's nothing serious, just excessive consumption of qi and blood, and the number of times qi and blood has been exhausted may cause some mental fatigue," Xi Yang said softly. "Just drink some stamina potion and get some rest."
Qi Anlan was relieved.
Although Jiang Wuyuan did not abide by military discipline, disobeyed orders, and deserted the team without permission, he accepted the favor of the young man who had saved him.
Qi Anlan wasn't a stubborn person. Since he could complete the mission alive, why would he go and die?
"Go back to the troupe and stay there for now. We'll talk about it after this is over." Qi Anlan said a few words to Jiang Wuyuan with a gentle expression, and watched him return to Ruan Kongyin's side.
"How is it?" Ruan Kongyin had wanted to go over for a long time, but she didn't act impulsively because Qi Anlan was there.
"I've already been treated, I'm fine." Jiang Wuyuan's expression was calm and composed, as if he had no idea what major thing he had done.
Ruan Kongyin had no way to deal with his condition, after all, he had returned safely, hadn't he?
He glanced at the person helplessly and then turned his attention back to the war.
The clearing they had just made was quickly filled up again by the monsters that had recovered, and the guerrillas, led by Qi Anlan, threw themselves back into the battle.
——
Tens of millions of meters above the ground, Lu Xingchuan stood with his hands behind his back.
Across from him, a young man of a different race dressed in a magnificent suit was smiling at him.
"We meet again, General Lu."
Even though the two were far apart, their words seemed to be right next to each other's ears.
Lu Xingchuan said calmly, "Your alien race's ambitions always bring us together."
The young man seemed to laugh: "Perhaps you should call us gods—so, shall we have a fight?"
"I'd be happy to oblige."
Lu Xingchuan made a fist with his right hand and threw a punch at the young man's casual movements.
However, this casual strike produced a sonic boom.
The young man's expression remained unchanged, and countless large and small vortexes floated above and below him.
With just a wave of his hand, a vortex of air crashed head-on into him.
boom--
A violent explosion rang out, shattering large swathes of space and revealing deep, mysterious spatial rifts within.
This rift is different from the spatial tunnels created by people like Jiang Wuyuan who can manipulate spatial power.
Even ordinary spatial rifts contain extremely terrifying and chaotic spatial forces. If one is not careful and gets caught in them, even a grandmaster could easily perish.
"Ten years, you've gotten a lot stronger." The young man grinned maliciously, and the vortex behind him expanded wildly, flying rapidly toward Lu Xingchuan's figure.
The energy contained in that cyclone was extremely terrifying, but it was not a threat to Lu Xingchuan.
Lu Xingchuan slightly raised his hand, and a three-meter-long halberd appeared out of thin air in his palm.
The halberd was pure black and extremely heavy.
The moment it appeared, even the wind that gently caressed it seemed to emit mournful cries.
The Cloud-Piercing Halberd is a top-tier weapon among eighth-tier weapons.
Lu Xingchuan held the halberd in one hand and swung it lightly.
A terrifying arc of light, powerful enough to sweep everything away, shot out and slammed into the vortex that the young man had unleashed.
Sizzle—
As the two beams of light of different colors collided, sparks flew everywhere, and the surrounding space collapsed and sank.
Lu Xingchuan frowned and unleashed an even stronger attack, shattering the two constantly rubbing attacks.
If this spatial rift is allowed to continue to spread, it may cause irreversible damage to this space.
After all, it was the world he had always lived in, and Lu Xingchuan certainly didn't want to see this continent riddled with holes.
The young man simply smiled at his gesture: "How do you think you're doing with those ants down there?"
"Hmph." Lu Xingchuan snorted coldly, without responding.
As an eighth-level expert, Lu Xingchuan's perception range is extremely far.
At least at this altitude of tens of thousands of meters, he could still vaguely sense the situation below.
The two armies were evenly matched, and the battle was very close.
However, the fact that the gap is not large is a good thing, proving that the development of alien races in recent years has not been much faster than that of humans.
As long as they can keep up with the growth rate of the alien races, the human race has the ability to suppress this enormous threat within the abyss.
"Let me tell you something else," the young man said with a slight smile. "Actually, we attacked all the countries near the abyss. Guess how many of them could withstand our invasion?"
What?
Lu Xingchuan's gaze sharpened.
As the nation with the longest history of civilization, the Dragon Kingdom's strength is absolutely exceptional, ranking among the top on the entire continent.
It could even be said that the Dragon Kingdom deserves more than 80% of the credit for blocking the invasion of the Abyss for many years.
If it really turns into a full-scale war, then things are not looking good.
Because other countries may not be able to stop it.
Lu Xingchuan suppressed his unease, his expression remaining calm and dignified, but his attacks became increasingly forceful, almost to the point of stirring up the wind and clouds.
