Li Changgong clashes with Silver Armor while Xiao Lie battles the Black-White Commander. Xiao Lie, facing a superior opponent, uses Chang'an City's resources to launch a devastating missile attack, transforming them into dragon-like projectiles. The empowered missiles breach the Commander's defenses and strike him directly, leaving him severely wounded.

Xiao Lie hovered in mid-air, gasping for breath as he looked at the results he had achieved, yet there was little joy in his heart.

Because a battle like this had nearly destroyed all of Chang'an City.

This was the home they depended on to survive!

Through his communication device, he spoke to his comrades in the formation, "Great work, brothers! Now join me in winning this defense of the Northwest Major Region!"

Meanwhile, beneath the main battlefield, more than two hundred meters underground, lay rows of honeycomb-shaped war command rooms.

A large number of Wolf Fang Guard members were inside. Though they hadn't gone up to the surface with guns blazing to fight the Mist Valley Transcendent forces, their mission was even more critical.

That mission was to operate the entire Northwest Major Region's satellite and weapon systems, providing support to the ground forces.

Without their coordination, Xiao Lie would never have been able to command missiles with such precision to strike the Black-White Commander.

There was only one weapon they couldn't control, and that was the Love of Death, which only Li Changgong could authorize for launch.

Unless Chang'an City had lost all hope, that weapon would never be used under any circumstances.

Because that would mean... mutual destruction!

The Black-White Commander slowly emerged from the ruins. His gaze locked onto Xiao Lie in the distance, and he said in an icy voice, "Inject the enhancement drug!"

Within his battle armor, a needle immediately extended and injected a tube of blue serum into his vein.

Soon, as the blood circulated, the injuries on his body were all suppressed.

Moreover, an even more powerful force erupted from him as he threw his head back and roared!

"Ah!!!"

A storm erupted with him at the center, surging in every direction. The Black-White Commander's eyes were bloodshot, murderous aura permeating the air!

As a warrior commander of the Wuluan Empire, being outmaneuvered by a mere human was a humiliation he could not accept!

Only by swiftly slaughtering every human before him could he wash away this disgrace.

Besides, they didn't have much time to linger here!

That terrifying aura was rapidly approaching from the distance. Xiao Lie, who had just allowed himself a moment of relief, immediately tensed up again.

"I know this is only the beginning!"

"But behind me, there are over ten million people in the entire Northwest Major Region!"

"Beside me, countless brothers of the Wolf Fang Guard are fighting shoulder to shoulder with me!"

Within the military formation, launch bay doors opened one after another. Countless precious missiles, each worth hundreds of millions even in peacetime, shot into the sky as if they cost nothing at all!

The night sky was illuminated, looking less like a missile barrage and more like fireworks set off on a summer night!

At this critical moment of life and death, there was no time to worry about consumption. Everyone had only one thought in mind.

Today, at any cost, destroy the invading enemy!

The Black-White Commander surged forward in an even more ferocious form, carried by the mighty wind. Wherever he passed, the intense wind pressure obliterated every structure on the ground, carving massive empty swaths through Chang'an City.

Xiao Lie gritted his teeth, driving his power without regard for his own well-being to empower those devastating weapons.

On a distant tall building, the Wolf Fang Guard defended the position with everything they had, keeping the Azure Armor warriors from disturbing the few people on the rooftop.

Especially the Earth War God Qi Yukun and the South Pole War God Di Fei, who stood at the top of the building without holding anything back, blasting away every enemy that approached.

Because by now, Chen Jiahao, who had transformed into the Human Cannon, had completed his charge. His throat had turned a nearly translucent fiery red, so red it seemed ready to bleed, making one worry it might burst at any moment.

A terrifying power coalesced in his mouth. His jaw stretched wide open, and little of his human appearance remained visible.

"BOOM!!!"

A crimson beam of light pierced through the space before him, striking at the Black-White Commander in coordination with Xiao Lie!

In the sky, a dragon-shaped black missile howled as it descended.

Facing all of this, the Black-White Commander's eyes burned crimson. He paused in mid-air, then drew in a deep breath, his chest expanding by nearly a full circle!

Then, a terrifying torrent of air exploded from his mouth!

"Wind... Burst!"

Nothing flashy, just a single massive and incredibly powerful stream of air erupting from his mouth, instantly engulfing everything before him and blasting forward with devastating, unstoppable force!

BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!!!!

The sound was like rolling thunder. Everything before him was instantly destroyed by the raging gale, and at that same moment, the combined strike of Xiao Lie and Chen Jiahao arrived!

"BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!!!!"

The two forces collided. First, there was an eerie moment of mutual annihilation and collapse, but merely an instant later, the power erupted outward in a cataclysmic blast!

At the epicenter of the collision, a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky. Blinding white light accompanied the shockwave as it swept across everything in all directions!

After that single exchange.

One entire district of Chang'an City had ceased to exist.

...

The battle between Silver Armor and Li Changgong grew increasingly fierce and dangerous.

Neither dared to take a direct hit from the other, but comparatively, Li Changgong was clearly fighting at a greater disadvantage.

Even with his cheat-like ability, the gap in basic attributes was still right there.

If he hadn't used strategy to severely wound Silver Armor earlier, he would probably be getting beaten black and blue right now.

Yet even so, in front of Silver Armor, his ability's characteristics couldn't fully manifest at all.

The opponent's speed and combat experience caused his attacks to land on empty air.

At this rate, once his stamina began to fade and he could no longer maintain his high-speed slashes, Silver Armor's smoke would find an opening.

Silver Armor had the backing of his ability, so even prolonged combat wouldn't push him into a weakened state.

"Swish!!"

Li Changgong swung another slash, a snow-white blade arc sweeping across the sky, but Silver Armor nimbly sidestepped it.

Silver Armor landed lightly in the distance, crossing his arms as he watched Li Changgong. The six wings of black mist behind him fluttered gently.

"It looks like your strength won't last much longer, hmm?"

He casually raised his right hand, and a wisp of black smoke laden with lethal threat condensed into a twisted, spinning blade.

"Soon, I will reap your life."

"Ah, I'm almost reluctant to kill you. After all, your ability is truly quite interesting. How about considering surrendering to me and becoming my slave? If you do, I might consider sparing your life."

Li Changgong let out a cold laugh.

"What the hell are you to talk to me like that? I, Li Changgong, am the King of the Northwest! If anyone's dying, it's you first!"

He pointed his long blade at Silver Armor, but inwardly, his heart was gradually sinking.

The gap between the two was plain to see. If they kept fighting, the situation would only continue to develop in a direction unfavorable to him.

And hoping for external reinforcements was already impossible. The other major regions were either under attack themselves or preserving their own elite forces, so there was no way they'd send their top Transcendents at a time like this.

Could it be... that the only option left was to use the Love of Death?
