Night of Despair-Chapter 424 - 422 confrontation 2

"We spent two days conducting a comprehensive evaluation and verification across Fista. With the technical support of Hope City hackers, we successfully identified the residences, whereabouts, and prospective agendas of seventy-nine senior officials with real powers in Fista," Yu Hen stated succinctly.

"Send people to negotiate in person, most of these officials are older, right?" Yu Hong asked gravely.

"Yes, the youngest of them is over fifty years old," Yu Hen nodded. "I understand. Moving forward, we’ll primarily use incentives to persuade. No one can resist the life-prolonging effects of Spirit Light."

He spoke, before feeling his chin covered in dark blue stubble with a sense of sentiment.

Before receiving the Spirit Light, this stubble was white, now it has astonishingly turned youthful again!

"But before that, we still need to display our strength. The nuclear explosion demonstrates our capability to threaten them. The ability to confront them signifying they cannot resolve us completely. The combination of both is the foundation for peaceful dialogue between both parties," Yu Hong stated.

"Reasonable," Yu Hen nodded in agreement.

"Send the order," Yu Hong suddenly said, "transmit my vehicle’s trajectory in real-time to the Fista officials."

"Understood!" The Black Light driver immediately showed a look of admiration.

Moments later.

"Transmission complete. They will likely verify it first before taking action."

"Open the car windows and the sunroof, let them confirm," Yu Hong’s expression grew even calmer.

Hiss.

Instantly, all windows opened.

The cold wind rushed in, fluttering their robes, but no one cared. Accustomed to the Cold Disaster environment thanks to Spirit Light enhancement, they easily ignored the chill.

The convoy continued forward without stopping along the highway.

Ten minutes later, a car in front decelerated as two members of the Black Light Army exited, grabbed the Battle Axes, and strode forward.

Directly ahead, the road was blocked by barricades, behind which, brown shipping containers and large black battlefield tanks were positioned.

Above the tanks, seven or eight armed helicopters aimed their machine guns this way.

Further away, fighter jets and bombers roared overhead, producing a thunderous rumbling noise.

"Are they looking to negotiate?" A Black Light member walking in front walked back, seeking confirmation.

Boom!

But in the next second, the tanks’ cannons recoiled and burst open with a bright yellow light.

Shells struck right where he was standing.

The shells, moving at over five times the speed of sound and packed with high explosives, instantly blew up the two Black Light members and a white sedan nearby.

The explosion of flames and dust sent the two flying, their armor and Spirit Light resisting, but still, they were harshly cast to the left into a hillside, motionless.

"As precise as a sniper rifle, and even more powerful??" Another Black Light member who had dismounted exclaimed in surprise.

"The computer’s aiming must be more accurate than human eyes, and how could the power of shells be weaker than a rifle’s? Go check if they’re dead," the team leader got out of the car discontentedly.

"I saw it; they just spat blood, probably just unconscious," a group of Black Light members were indifferent.

Ever since the strength of Spirit Light increased, they had hardly been injured, so they exhibited a nonchalant attitude towards their comrades’ safety.

"Clear the roadblocks ahead, don’t keep the Alliance Hierarch waiting!"

The team leader signaled.

About ten Black Light members instantly dispersed, moving as lightly as birds and rushed towards the tank formations at high speed.

Almost simultaneously, a swath of tank shells once again focused fire, targeting their previous gathering spot.

But this time, their rapid movement meant not one was hit.

Streams of Black Light rushed into the tank formations, the Battle Axes fiercely chopping down infantry coordinating with the tanks. Then, they stuffed explosives into the cumbersome tank hatches.

Boom boom boom!

Following a series of explosions, Black Light members entered through the blasted tank hatches, and shortly after, screams emerged as the members dragged out personnel with broken limbs.

Meanwhile, another group of Black Light clashed with the armed helicopters mid-air.

They casually grabbed stones from the ground and furiously pelted them at the helicopters.

The immense power from short-range impacts immediately brought four helicopters crashing down, exploding on impact.

It was only at this moment that the bomber managed to drop cluster bombs.

Mid-air, the bombs suddenly dispersed, turning into a dense mass, cascading down onto the area below.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

In the intense explosions, several Black Light members were injured while the rest released Spiritual Techniques, enhancing their muscular reaction speeds, and picked up ground heavy machine guns to fire into the sky.

However, the bombers’ altitude was too high, and the bullets drifted aimlessly before reaching them.

In an instant, more Black Light vehicles were continuously destroyed, and the group, due to insufficient equipment, was entirely suppressed.

"I’ll handle this." A robust woman, resembling a team leader, stepped forward and looked up to the sky, rapidly forming Sealing signs with her hands.

Instantly, behind her, a black balloon with a grotesque human face emerged.

The balloon ascended, imperceptible to ordinary people, only faintly sensing something being released.

Boom!

The balloon’s Fear Shadow successfully influenced a passing fighter jet.

The plane veered off course, crashing downwards.

The balloon continued upwards, heading towards the bombers.

Shortly after, a gray-white bomber twisted and smashed into the ground.

Bang!

The bomber exploded, transforming into a fireball in the distance.

Other warplanes were frightened and retreated hastily.

A group of Black Light members quickly returned to their vehicles, driving forward.

Those without vehicles returned the way they came.

Yu Hong sat in the car, waiting quietly.

The journey from here to the Capital would take about ten more hours.

But Fista’s officials would not let him charge directly to the capital so easily; this section of the road was where both sides would demonstrate their strength.

"Fista will not give up so easily, this is just the beginning," Yu Hen spoke gravely from inside the vehicle. He was somewhat worried and looked towards Yu Hong.

"Zheng Rou, are we being a bit too reckless? After all... we are facing the power of a whole nation."

"It’s alright, I’m here," Yu Hong replied, closing his eyes to continue refining the last level of the Capturing God Skill.

"We no longer have time to develop slowly. The world is heading towards the brink of shattering... waiting for us to step in and save it..."

His words made Yu Hen take a deep breath, reminding himself once again that they were already standing on the edge of a cliff. The Source Disaster was no child’s play, having destroyed everything in two worlds.

If they do not make a concerted effort now...

"Also, master, rest assured, Qing Huang, Zhao Jingtang have already gone ahead to the front. The journey hereafter might be somewhat quieter," Yu Hong said.

"Mhm. I hope so." Yu Hen nodded slowly.

Furthest ahead of the convoy, between rugged hills.

Power King patted the dust off his hands, looking ahead at the approaching mass of war tanks and mobile artillery vehicles.

"Prepare to begin."

He spoke gravely.

"We’ve only brought a small portion of our equipment; it looks like we’ll mainly have to rely on melee combat."

Behind him, teams of Black Light Armored Warriors steadily emerged from behind the hills, revealing their forms.

"No problem," a burly female captain replied nonchalantly. "Do we need to deploy combined magic? Ordinary soldiers, even with armored vehicle protection, are just fragile lambs."

"No need, just be careful not to be targeted by artillery fire. There was a few foolish guys on the Hierarch’s side who got bombarded and are still unconscious," Power King said dryly.

"Understood."

Power King, wasting no more words, waved his hand downward.

Hiss hiss hiss!!

Instantly, all the Black Light warriors leapt high from the top of the hills, sprinting and scattering towards the opposing army formation.

Seconds later.

The front line of armored vehicles and tanks opened fire, heavy machine guns, flamethrowers, and tank shells densely transforming the area upfront into a sea of fire.

Under thick smoke billowing, a few unlucky Black Light warriors were directly hit in the forehead, blasted away, and knocked unconscious, while hundreds stormed into the military formation.

Immediately, tanks were overturned, vehicles dented, and one artillery gun barrel was even forcibly bent by a single person.

Heavy machine guns were seized and turned to spray bullets towards Fista’s own forces.

Half a minute into the close combat, the third armored division nineteenth regiment of Fista, over five thousand men, were wiped out.

From the Black Light Army, three hundred strong, only five were knocked unconscious or lightly wounded, taken back to rest. The rest were unscathed.

At this time, elsewhere.

Not far from Mana City outside Futu Town, the fifth army’s seventh and eighth divisions of Fista, a total of thirteen thousand men, were engaged in a fierce battle with Ku Chan leading six hundred Black Lights.

"For the Spirit Alliance!!"

One by one, Black Light warriors roared, braving dense showers of bullets and shells, charging towards the enemy formation.

Bullets struck them, but even sniper rifles only slightly slowed them down.

These charging Black Lights were mainly selected strength-enhanced individuals.

Their strength well exceeded other Black Lights, reaching around five tons of normal thrust.

At this moment, about a hundred of these strength-enhanced individuals began a plain charge, appearing like agile heavy battle tanks.

Two leading captains protected the core commanders also charging, coordinating the entire battle formation charge.

Every Fista military formation was easily dispersed, no weapon able to halt their advance.

Some Fista forces even used battle vehicles lined up as temporary barriers to evade, which were also straightforwardly smashed and overturned by them.

Explosions continuously erupted behind them, unable to keep up with their moving trajectories.

Behind them,

Ku Chan walked forward at a steady pace, holding the damaged, serrated Chi Xiao Sword, gazing under his mask towards the sky ahead.

There, hundreds of dense bombers were rapidly approaching.

"Magic."

He swiftly raised the sword in his hand, the blade tip rapidly sketching runes in the air.

"Night Mansion Sky Court."

Runes quickly lit up around him in a dark red glow, the next second.

All runes combined into a circular array, shooting skyward.

Boom!!

As the dark red rune magic ascended, massive Dao Breath exploded in the sky, triggering an unknown mysterious energy resonance in space.

In the blink of an eye, Ku Chan’s spiritual pressure suddenly went full force.

Originally covering only several kilometers around, under the influence of this Spiritual Technique, it quickly shifted and gained a slight boost.

In an instant, it moved to cover a large area of the sky above Ku Chan.

Approaching bombers, as soon as they entered within a ten-kilometer radius around him, pilots suddenly felt a heaviness in their chests, illusions appearing before their eyes, breathing becoming difficult, bodies seemingly burdened with hundreds of pounds of weight.

Instantly, the trajectories of the warplanes began to skew, distort, and the formation rapidly dispersed, some directly plummeting down, bursting into fireballs.

Most struggled to return to base, only gradually recovering to normal after leaving the range of the Spiritual Technique.

Ku Chan watched the warplanes leave, his gaze calm, observing the Black Light Army crushing the Fista forces, no longer taking action.

After all, such opponents were somewhat uninteresting.

Once the Magician’s weakest physical flaw was supplemented by the Spirit Light, there were no more shortcomings left.
