Chapter 2240: The Power of One Shot

The slope was too gentle, and the hill was about ten meters high, exceeding his design.

Using primal force in this manner still felt awkward and unresponsive.

Because the hill was high enough and the slope gentle enough, when the Golden-Horned Rhinoceros herd crossed the third ridge, they could still use the long slope to gain momentum and charge at He Lingchuan a second time, though their speed was significantly reduced.

A remark floated to He Lingchuan's ears:

"Pointless!"

It was General Hong—no, Mi Tian’s sarcastic remark.

He Lingchuan scratched his head. Using primal force still felt incredibly awkward; it was far from ideal and required further experimentation and refinement.

Seeing the Golden-Horned Rhinoceros herd charging directly, with less than two hundred meters separating them, Mi Tian strode forward, extended her left hand, and summoned the Responding Thunder Spear.

Electric snakes writhed along the spear shaft, and blue light crackled.

Next, she performed a standard stance and hurled it like a javelin.

It was decisive and powerful, without any hesitation.

The Responding Thunder Spear grew larger the moment it left her hand, rapidly expanding in size. In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a giant spear roughly thirty-three meters long, the electric snakes on its shaft turning into electric dragons whose horns, claws, and scales were clearly discernible!

The observing Dragon-Coil Army felt immense pressure just by looking up at it, while the charging Golden-Horned Rhinoceros herd felt lightning flash and thunder crash directly in front of them, bearing down on their heads.

No matter how Golden Horn General tried to dodge or maneuver, the Responding Thunder Spear remained aimed squarely at it, without deviation.

With nowhere to retreat, Golden Horn General roared, its body also surging with primal force, and lowered its head, charging into it.

There was no escaping it; it had to gather the strength of its entire herd to deflect the attack.

Everyone instinctively held their breath.

Only a colossal boom was heard, like a sudden clap of thunder on flat ground.

An orb of electric light exploded ahead, illuminating the world in a brilliant flash.

Everyone turned away and closed their eyes, fearing the flash would blind them.

He Lingchuan turned back immediately, seeing where the Responding Thunder Spear had landed; like a thunderbolt striking the ground, it had gouged out a massive crater sixty-six meters in diameter!

The bottom of the crater was scorched black.

Half of the Golden-Horned Rhinoceros herd lay at the bottom of the crater, the other half having been blasted away, their charging formation clearly broken.

Two of them were even flung by the lightning, landing in the Immortal Spirit Lake about seventeen meters away.

It was important to note that even the smallest of them weighed over 3,500 kilograms.

Most of the Golden-Horned Rhinoceroses were scorched black and unable to move. At least four or five had their massive horns broken off their noses, with blood pooling on the ground.

This was because the golden horn was not only the rhinoceros's most powerful weapon but also a critical tool for deflecting damage.

When they suffered a severe impact, the damage would automatically transfer to their hardest and toughest horns. Much like the subterranean spider queen sisters, who could largely transfer damage to their eyeballs.

However, the damage from Mi Tian's thunder spear strike evidently exceeded the horns' capacity, and even with all damage being distributed evenly among the herd, thirteen Golden-Horned Rhinoceroses were still killed instantly!

Including Golden Horn General, only three Golden-Horned Rhinoceroses were still breathing, and they were barely alive.

Golden Horn General was the strongest, but its body was also scorched black and flayed. When it moved, the charred skin peeled off, revealing dark red flesh underneath, a horrifying sight.

The Beijia soldiers watched its massive belly heave continuously, its four legs kicking repeatedly at the ground, yet it couldn't turn over—a truly unprecedented state of distress.

A formation of thick-skinned, tough-hided Golden-Horned Rhinoceroses couldn't withstand a single strike from Mi Tian?

It was important to know that Golden Horn General had two hundred and seventy years of cultivation, with at least two hundred of those years dedicated to its tough hide; so much so that even special weapons would only leave a white mark when stabbed into it.

Not to mention, it also possessed primal force—the primal force of Beijia!

The power of Mi Tian's single spear strike was utterly astonishing!

The onlookers of this scene, whether Beijia soldiers or Dragon-Coil soldiers, stood stunned on the spot, speechless for a moment.

Even He Lingchuan was secretly shaken.

Dragon-Coil City had enjoyed a rare three years of peace, and General Hong had hardly been on the battlefield, yet her first move was this earth-shattering.

No wonder Mi Tian wanted to descend in her full form.

General Hong's cultivation had greatly advanced, and she was more than suitable as a host body.

He Lingchuan naturally wouldn't let slip such a good opportunity, pointing his long halberd at Wu Xianxian, his voice like thunder:

"Charge!"

The Dragon-Coil Army charged forward, shouting, their morale soaring.

The Beijia army reacted quickly as well. With a command from Wu Tongxian, the army surged forward to cover the retreat of the Golden Horn family.

However, because Golden Horn General's attempt to break through with its herd had failed, the Beijia army's existing disadvantage of being fragmented and encircled was not alleviated.

The Beijia army's gaze toward General Hong involuntarily carried hesitation and awe.

That was a powerful being who had personally defeated the Golden Horn family, and even the demon army of Beijia would instinctively revere such power.

At that moment, He Lingchuan wondered: Mi Tian had just descended and unleashed such a powerful, decisive strike; was this Her normal power when descending in Her true form, or was it meant to intimidate the battlefield?

Xu Shichu, watching, had an even more grim expression.

Mi Tian beckoned, and the Responding Thunder Spear returned to her palm.

She turned and took two steps, walking to He Lingchuan's side, her tone brooking no argument: "Go eliminate Tushan God, otherwise, everyone in the army will still feel unsafe!"

The spear tip pointed directly at the flashing red mist a hundred meters away.

So, the bloody toad's true name was Tushan God?

He Lingchuan knew she wanted to use this command to send him away.

Evidently, Mi Tian believed He Lingchuan harbored ulterior motives that would pose a threat to her complete divine descent, so she wanted him far away.

General Hong was still the commander-in-chief of the Dragon-Coil Army, and her command was perfectly reasonable. Under everyone's watchful eyes, He Lingchuan couldn't very well say, "No, I must stay by your side."

He could only let out a breath and nod in assent: "Alright!"

Seeing He Lingchuan stride away, Xu Shichu leaned closer and whispered, "General?"

"Just like that? It's over?"

He Lingchuan glanced at General Hong, then at Xu Shichu, and patted his shoulder as if in comfort: "Guard General Hong well."

With that said, he strode towards Hu Min's direction.

Xu Shichu watched his retreating back, lost in thought.

Mi Tian, however, cast a glance at both of them, one after another, her eyes chilling.

These two were Zhong Shengguang's confidants; they could not be allowed to remain.

Meanwhile, Hu Min was still holding the compass, chasing after Tushan God.

With primal force augmentation, his speed was indeed not slow, but Tushan God was the one leading the chase, able to change direction and turn at will, and it also benefited from the Gale Wind Enhancement of the Xunyue Goddess.

When Hu Min pressed it hard, it would dart into the Beijia army, leaving Hu Min helpless.

It had also considered ambushing Hu Min, as he was, after all, a prominent general beside General Tigerwing. However, Hu Min had deployed his Void Sentinels, which specifically watched his back.

These two Void Sentinels were refined from giant Night Yakshas; their upper bodies were extremely muscular, but their lower halves were mere wisps of smoke. One Void Sentinel wielded an axe, the other a shield, circling behind their master; they had just deflected two cold arrows shot at Hu Min.

Twice Tushan God had tried to strike Hu Min from behind, but both times the two Void Sentinels had blocked it and raised an alarm.

Furthermore, Hu Min also had dozens of skilled fighters behind him, each one focused intently, ready to attack with blades and axes the moment it appeared.

This volume is approaching its climax.

Teacher Xiao Mi's battle will last for several days, as long-time readers know. For a better reading experience, it's time to start hoarding chapters.

When the volume concludes, I will remind you in the review section.
