Chapter 463: The Empire's Defeat
Everyone was like puppets, staring at the scene of the war ship.
The sea beasts and the warships were fighting in chaos, while the Black Hunter was alone, fighting against the army of blood lions.
Fifty thousand people fighting against one person!
"Can the Black Hunter win?"
"Help me up! My legs are broken and I can't see what's happening on the battlefield!"
"Hey! What are you doing? Cover—"
Mrs. Ollie slammed her fists on the city wall, her voice hoarse.
The Black Hunter bought them a precious breathing space, not a chance for them to watch a show.
However, soon, a special prompt came into everyone's mind.
[You have entered the realm of 'Echoes of the Abyss.']
【All of you are being stared at by the abyss. 】
[The abyss has arrived, please close your eyes and keep your clothes safe! ]
"The domain, the Black Hunter has already mastered the domain..."
Mrs. Ollie blinked, and the flames were reflected in her eyes.
For a long time, she was dealing with the affairs of Noah's Wall and conscription, and was unaware that Chen Qi had already taken control of the domain.
"It's the realm of Blade Void!"
"It's a field of mass destruction! Run!"
"The war ship is on fire!"
Many people who stepped into the Morning Fire Circle immediately regretted it.
You know, even though they are strengthened by the Black Blood Divine Weapon Potion and the Beast of War, they still have considerable killing power.
However, the enhancement in the field of war does not include physical enhancement.
Large-scale area damage is their nemesis.
The abyss, opening——
Chen Qi raised his long sword, which was covered by blazing flames.
Above the sea, cracks opened up, and the fire circle made of blade energy turned into a giant eye spewing fire from the abyss.
"Encountered a large impact! Activate the third alert mode - deploy the defense shield to the maximum extent!"
"The abyss is sucking in the ship, activating the second alert mode, airship mode!"
"Psycho Warlock Operation! Large-scale mental contamination detected!"
"Something is watching me! It's looking at me in my head, digging at my brains!"
The mobile city-state war ship was boiling instantly, and the abyss under their feet was swallowing up their huge mobile city-state!
Fortunately, the war ship is a mobile war city-state that the empire obtained with all its efforts and countless materials, and it has strong defensive capabilities.
However, faced with the Twelve Tensioners of the Deep Sea, the Overlord of the Near Sea, the Black Lantern Dragon, and the power of the abyss, this three-hundred-year-old giant ship began to shake and collapse.
"General Blood Lion! The warship can't hold on any longer. We must defeat the Black Hunter to protect our ship!"
The blazing fire of the abyss continued to burn, and except for the black-blood soldiers on the war ship, almost all the black-blood soldiers who entered the black circle were buried in the abyss.
Facing Chen Qi who opened up his territory, the Blood Lion quickly distanced itself from him.
On the war ship, everyone kept retreating and looked towards the center of the fire.
"call……"
Chen Qi spat out a mouthful of boiling black fire, and the blade in his hand cut across the cold deck and walked out of the flames.
"Aren't you going to continue?"
Chen Qi flicked the blade lightly, and it turned into a huge flame.
And a prompt also popped up in the Blood Lion's mind.
[The 'War Minced Meat Mountain' area was destroyed from the inside, and can only exert 40% of its effect. ]
Those who open the field first will encounter serious disadvantages.
“It’s so fast.”
The blood lion frowned.
However, the reduced effectiveness of the field is a small matter.
What is truly frightening is fear itself.
The moment Chen Qi opened his domain, the frenzied black-blood soldiers all showed signs of serious mental pollution.
People gathered around him like frightened ants.
The Black Blood Empire's psychics immediately used holy light magic to resist this huge mental pollution.
His domain is a domain that relies on soldiers. Without soldiers, his main combat power is far from enough.
Even with the reward of war's glory, they were still afraid.
When the Mentalist purified the Black Hunter's realm of mental pollution, his berserk power was also purified.
Everyone looked at the black hunter in the flames, reluctant to take action.
"Is there anyone who wants to go first?"
A two-meter-tall Blood Lion guard wearing heavy black blood lion armor said in a soft voice like a kitten:
"I'll give it to you first! I feel like the Black Hunter seems to have become weaker! This knife is a fourth-level professional card!"
The soldiers on the side stepped back:
"You first!"
The blood lion frowned.
The Black Hunter's Abyss Echo had a powerful fear effect, which perfectly suppressed his frenzy.
"The first 100 warriors to charge will be rewarded with a manor and 100 military merits!"
The bloody lion drew the sword from his waist, gritted his teeth, and killed the soldier with trembling legs beside him:
"Deserter! Must die!"
Blood splatters!
Blood Lion uses War Roar again.
"Don't be afraid of the Black Hunter! I'm coming!"
"It's just a mere fifth level!"
The Blood Lion's personal guards grasped their weapons, rushed towards the Black Hunter in the flames, and slashed with their swords.
"Hey? Where are the people?"
The charging soldiers heard a roar.
The Black Hunter suddenly disappeared.
Tick! Tick!
They lowered their heads and found that there was an extremely sharp scar on their chest.
"Blood Lion, it's your turn."
Chen Qi came to the blood lion and shook off the blood on the crack blade.
One of the core features of Echoes of the Abyss is that all skills and items with negative mental effects are enhanced by 100%.
Before opening it, he had already taken the Witch's Abyss Potion and the Banshee Potion, a total of two bottles of Great Sage-level potions with extremely strong negative effects.
Add to that the Crimson Form, the Blessing of the Saint of Books, the Blooming of Remnant Fire, and so on.
At this moment, Chen Qi felt extremely comfortable all over.
For the first time since he was promoted to Level 5, he felt that his body's hunger was satisfied.
However, this speed is impossible to capture in the eyes of third-level transcendents, and even in the eyes of some fourth-level transcendents.
There won’t even be an afterimage!
Black Wave Slash——
Chen Qi didn't waste any words and immediately slashed with his sword.
brush!
A hundred meters of pitch-black fire covered the blood lion's wounds.
In the field, his casual sword move is like a liberation.
"Stop it for me!"
The blood lion opened its arms and roared, using all of its enhanced moves to drive its soldiers.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he took out his second trump card - the 'Beehive Heart', a unique item in the crack of the heart.
The Heart of the Beehive is a treasure that the Empire obtained from a fifth-level tamer of the Golden Bird Kingdom. It can drive friendly units and give them special bee powers.
Although it was not completely suitable for him, at the moment, it was his only way to free the soldiers from fear.
He alone cannot defeat the BOSS in front of him.
The firepower is too strong!
The Blood Lion said loudly:
"For the Empire! For our companions, for your future! For glory! You must not lose to the Black Hunters!"
"You must not lose!"
"The empire will never be destroyed!"
"Take care of my wife in the dungeon!!"
The soldiers of the Black Blood Empire shouted words like "Glory", "Brothers", "Emperor" and rushed forward in unison.
brush--
Chen Qi slashed with his sword casually.
The gap in speed and strength is too big. Even with the special effect of [War Wounds] that can defeat the strong with the weak, Chen Qi cannot be hurt at all.
Battle damage, battle damage—
Continuous casualties!
Soon, there was no more guard beside the Blood Lion, and he was left alone.
The boss named Black Hunter has come in front of him, in front of him, the general on the chessboard!
The Black Hunter's speed and strength are already superior to Haye's.
The bloody lion's eyes widened:
"It's too late! Black Hunter!"
"My soldiers have built a high wall for me! They have built knights!"
The blood lion burst out with blade energy, and a huge knight figure appeared behind it.
The current strength of the Black Hunter was far beyond his imagination.
As the empire's famous blade domain, the Mountain of Minced Meat of War has more than just one effect!
When the heat of war is high enough, he can also summon powerful war knights according to the heat of war.
Now, that’s enough of the heat!
"War Meat Grinder Mountain, Second Blade Solution. War Knight!"
The bloody lion roars.
The scarlet energy behind him suddenly condensed into a twenty-meter-high blood-red armor.
The armor is forged from meteorite iron and dragon bones. Dark red runes flow between the seams of the armor like magma. Every piece of armor plate is branded with the remnants of Ragnarok!
Above the visor, the scarlet gaze fell on Chen Qi.
[You have encountered the gaze of the incarnation of the War Knight of the Blade Realm!
Run! Kneel down! Fear the will of war! 】
It's finally here... Chen Qi lightly wiped the long sword with his fingers, and the fire of the abyss was added to it.
The War Knight is one of the favorite knights of the ancient Valkyrie of the Black Blood Empire according to legend.
Although it has fallen, it can absorb the will of the soldiers before they die.
The more will it absorbs, the stronger it will become, and eventually, it will be able to reach the realm of God.
According to legend, tens of millions of soldiers died in the founding war of the Black Blood Empire, but war knights were formed from those millions of corpses, and ultimately, they won the victory for the empire!
“Here it comes!”
Mrs. Ollie gritted her teeth.
Like the Lantern Death, the War Knight Avatar is also one of the gods of the Empire and can be summoned through the realm.
War knights can be seen in almost every major battle.
His strength is no less than that of the incarnation of the Grim Reaper with a Lantern that a long-lived person encounters when he is a hundred years old.
"Um?"
The Ice Witch in the distance couldn't help but look back.
The spiritual force field on the other side of the battlefield was beyond her imagination.
"I will kill the last enemy for you."
A spiral spear made of scarlet tree roots condensed in the War Knight's hand and stabbed at the Black Hunter!
A shrill whistling sound was heard!
clang!
Chen Qi blocked with his sword.
The surging blade energy pressed down on his body, causing countless blood marks.
Under this force, the war ship made of ancient cracked alloy also began to break.
The deck, made of an ancient alloy, had hundreds of terrifying cracks.
"call……"
The Blood Lion hid behind the War Knight and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the war was intense enough, and the strength of the War Knight barely suppressed the Black Hunter!
The Blood Lion turned around and looked at the arrogant Deep Sea Twelve Tensors and Black Lantern Dragon on the battlefield.
"Once I'm done with the Black Hunters, I'll deal with you."
clang--
Suddenly, without any warning, the entire Eye of the Abyss rang out a bell that resounded through the sky.
To be precise, a strange echo was heard in everyone's mind.
"!!"
Mrs. Ollie blinked.
The effect of the Black Hunter domain is an indiscriminate attack.
[You are echoing in the abyss, suffering from huge mental pollution! ]
"This battle is over, Bloody Lion."
Chen Qi used his long sword to knock away the spear of war in front of him.
The Abyss Echo field will cause huge mental damage every minute.
At the same time, when the spirit takes enough damage, he can release an additional liberation.
The red appearance. Bloom again!
The flames on Chen Qi's body expanded again, and his body made a thunderous sound.
The spiritual pollution caused by his abyssal echoes greatly prevented the heat of war from rising.
The war knights summoned by the heat of the war are currently unable to compete with him!
Now, it's his panel that's better!
The War Knight is immune to mental damage and must be killed first.
Chen Qi took a deep breath, then all the muscles in his body burst out and he used the Rift Slash again.
After the domain was opened, the Rift Slash changed from blue to black.
After being turned on, Chenqi's panel was improved by more than ten times. The original Thousand Slashes turned into Ten Thousand Slashes!
Brush, brush, brush——
clang!
Sheath the blade!
While everyone was still listening to the echoes from the abyss, the War Knight was suddenly shattered.
[You have activated liberation and defeated the War Knight. ]
“…”
The blood lion raised its head with dull eyes, and it had not yet recovered from the negative state of the echo from the abyss.
Chen Qi threw a hunter mark to the blood lion, then grabbed the long knife and rushed forward.
cut!
Chen Qi slashed the blood lion's neck with his sword.
The intense pain made the blood lion open his eyes wide and come back to his senses.
Unlike the last time in the Tower of Books, this time, it was a fight to the death between fifth-level saints.
The bloody lion held the bloody neck and watched the war knight shattered.
"War Knight!"
Before the blood lion had time to wail for the war knight, the next blade chopped off his head.
As a last resort, he had to take out his hidden backpack card and use all his life-saving weapons.
Sparta's War Shield, Flesh Regeneration Potion Type X, Teleport Card...
However, Chen Qi did not give him this opportunity.
brush!
Chen Qi swung the blade and directly cut off his right hand that was using the teleportation card, and then cut off his left hand that was holding the backpack card!
Countless scars were left on his body.
Both arms are broken!
"No!"
The bloody lion wailed, unable to believe what it saw.
Compared to the defeat of the War Knight and his own decline, what he feared more was the failure of the battle.
Once he loses, the entire empire's massive resources and the general offensive launched through several crack gates will all be in vain.
Such a huge failure!
Is he, the glory of the Imperial Navy, going to be defeated?
A huge crisis occurred within the country of Bei, and it was defeated by a small city!
A poor place on the sea where people only know how to mine moonstone!
Even if he survived, he would only be good enough to serve as fuel for the other fourth-level upgrades.
Bang!
The blade flashed.
The severed arms fell to the deck with a crisp sound.
"I! I! I!"
“It won’t end!”
"The Blade Cup is unlocked. The black blood burns forever. The lion is undefeated!"
The blood lion's eyes were red, he bit his tongue and roared.
He started to liberate himself again at the cost of permanently consuming his own spiritual energy and suffering from a 100% chance of developing a deformity disease, with a 70% chance of death within two months.
A lion appeared behind him, wanting to have a final showdown with Chen Qi.
Chen Qi watched all this calmly.
Be prepared to resist this move.
Eternal Burning Black Blood is a very common low-blood skill in the Empire.
This move could indeed hurt him and cause considerable injuries.
But once the move is over, the Blood Lion will have no hope of a comeback.
Snap!
Blue snowflakes fell gently on Chen Qi's face.
"It's over. The Empire has been defeated."
Just as the blood lion was about to counterattack, a blue figure appeared out of nowhere and spoke softly.
The blood lion widened its eyes and trembled all over.
The fatal blow he had just delivered disappeared.
"It's over."
Tick! Tick!
"Ice Witch..."
The blood lion's lips moved slightly.
The Ice Witch's gaze was fixed on his scarred body, without any unnecessary emotion visible in her eyes.
It was as if the person in front of him was just an insignificant soldier.
The blood lion lowered its head, not daring to look directly at the Ice Witch.
That look is the winner's disregard for the loser.
No matter what, he couldn't change the facts and had to admit it.
The empire has already been defeated in this battle.
