The dark-hued flame dragon left a winding trail in the sky as it roared towards the five Valerna giant lizard knights.
Before the flame dragon could hit its target, Li Mu raised his left hand to block the bullet aimed at his head.
This was a specially crafted psychic metal bullet with anti-psychic energy properties, designed specifically to kill high-value targets who could activate psychic energy shields.
Under the intense impact, Li Mu’s hand remained unshaken, while the sturdy bullet instantly deformed, turning into a twisted metal pancake, adhering to his palm.
He didn’t even have time to remove the bullet before gripping the sword hilt with both hands, suddenly exerting force.
The entire hovercraft jolted as Li Mu instantly broke through the several Spathenians blocking his path, executing the Flow of the Fireblade technique, instantly piercing the skull of the gunman behind them.
The scorching flame instantly destroyed his brain tissue, spraying out from the holes in the skull.
Li Mu held the sword hilt, withdrawing the blade and slashing downward in one smooth motion, instantly severing the arm of another Spathena warrior and cutting into his torso.
The blade cut directly through the hard bone plates of the Spathena warrior, slicing open the vulnerable internal organs.
Even though the annihilation flame had completely incinerated his internal organs, the Spathena warrior still roared angrily as he gripped the longsword embedded in his body.
To conserve psychic energy, Li Mu didn’t activate the Shock Calamity again, instead reaching out to grasp the warrior’s head. Dazzling psychic energy arced from his skin and fingers, piercing the Black Membrane.
“Bang!”
After destroying the Black Membrane, Li Mu directly crushed the warrior’s head.
Even after witnessing it numerous times, the Spathenians’s bravery still astonished him. They seemed to feel no fear, and had a fanatical longing for death, as if it were not the end of life, but a brand-new beginning.
“Boom!”
The Valerna giant lizard knights, accelerated to their limits, charged with an awe-inspiring momentum. They used foldable spears, which extended to three meters when unfolded, with the spear tips shining with psychic energy.
These knights had the holy relic – Radiance of Destruction, implanted within them. When their speed increased, they could imbue their weapons with a layer of highly destructive psychic energy radiance.
“亻人互!”
(Kill!)
The charge of the Valerna giant lizard knights could even penetrate the frontal armor of the main battle tanks of the human coalition.
The giant lizard leaped over the landing craft, and the knight riding on it stabbed down from mid-air.
Li Mu’s pupils constricted, and under the activated neural acceleration state, he could clearly see the trajectory of the spear tip flying through the air. The five knights’ long spears blocked almost all his evasion space.
He held the sword with both hands, slanting it to collide with the incoming spear tip.
The terrifying momentum of the long spear was lifted high by the immense force, and Li Mu rolled on the spot to dodge the other spear attacks, choosing the Valerna giant lizard as his target. Before the knight could react, the belly of the Valerna giant lizard was cut open, spilling steaming entrails all over the ground.
The other knights, after missing their target, let out angry roars, urging the Valerna giant lizards to speed up and prepare for the next round of charges.
The giant lizard with the cut-open belly, however, rolled in the swamp meadow with a wail, struggled to stand upright, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Li Mu jumped down from the landing ship, killed the knight who fell from the Valerna giant lizard’s back with a single slash, and then grasped the folding spear in his hand.
This spear was forged from an unknown energy metal alloy, with excellent flexibility in the shaft and a sharp tip. Even without the infusion of psychic energy, it could still penetrate steel. When colliding with the sharp Blade of Annihilation, it didn’t have any chipping.
Only five injured Spathenians remained on the landing craft, and only four Valerna giant lizard knights were left. The entire unit’s losses were more than two-thirds.
The commander of the unit didn’t expect that dealing with a human of the same energy level would result in such heavy losses.
The Degta flying dragon in the sky let out an angry roar, its chest muscles contracting violently, preparing to dive down and kill this troublesome human.
At this moment, a blue-green figure fell like lightning from the sky,
It was a massive bird of prey, its sharp claws deeply hooked into the Degta flying dragon’s back, locking its spine. The powerful impact force made the Degta flying dragon plummet heavily to the ground.
Bright and intense electric light swirled around the bird, striking the Degta flying dragon’s body, making it wail.
It had been circling high in the sky, watching the situation on the ground with its penetrating vision. If Li Mu hadn’t been ordering it to wait for an opportunity, it would have swooped down long ago.
The Spathena commander also fell heavily to the ground with the Degta flying dragon. Even under the protection of the Black Membrane, he was still in a sorry state.
The lightning-like electric arc constantly bombarded the Black Membrane on his body.
Li Mu burst forth in an instant, transforming into a shadow under immense power, his speed even surpassing the Valerna giant lizard.
“Die!”
He pushed the Shock Calamity to its limit, concentrating it on the Blade of Annihilation. The terrifying power caused the entire Blade of Annihilation to vibrate violently, even distorting the surrounding air.
The commander let out an angry roar. Being able to command a landing ship, his strength naturally ranked among the best in the fourth level and he was a battle-hardened veteran. But being suddenly knocked down from the sky and attacked by Li Mu at full force before he could adjust his posture, he simply had no time to react.
All he could do was reluctantly stretch his arm across his body as a shield.
In the next instant, the commander’s arm and head were severed together.
Li Mu grabbed the commander’s head and propped the Blade of Annihilation on the ground, emitting a deafening, long howl. The residual power of the Shock Calamity transmitted along the sound wave, causing all the Spathenians present to painfully cover their ears.
Rolling white steam spread along the Blade of Annihilation. After withstanding the full power of the Shock Calamity, the temperature of the long blade reached an astonishing level.
The ultra-high-frequency vibration released a large amount of thermal energy.
Fei Lian flapped its wings and soared into the sky, having pecked the head of the ferocious Degta flying dragon. The tough skull was directly punctured, and brain matter flowed out from the hole.
The tenacious vitality of the creature caused it to continue convulsing and rolling, stirring up a massive wave of mud.
Li Mu walked up to it, gripping the blade with one hand, and beheaded it with a single strike. The spine, far tougher than steel, was cut like rotten wood.
Fear finally appeared in the eyes of the remaining Spathenians. They believed they were under the protection of the Lord of Desolation and that ordinary humans were like pigs and dogs, merely awaiting slaughter. They had never imagined that a human could single-handedly annihilate an entire squad.
“下卄己下亻凵己!”
(He is the enemy of the gods!)
