A piercing sound of slicing filled the air! The blade, embodying the nascent form of "reality," displayed terrifying penetration!
Luo Su’s hastily summoned dark armor was like paper, sliced open in an instant!
The two crossed legs used for blocking shattered on impact!
"This is an epic weapon crafted by the Pillar."
Qin Shi gripped the hilt with both hands and pressed downwards.
The momentum of the blade was only slightly hindered, still carrying the unstoppable force as it cleaved along the centerline of Luo Su’s massive body like a hot knife through butter!
A hair-raising ripping sound pierced the battlefield!
"No! My power, my evolution..."
The mountain-like spiritual projection of the deep diver Luo Su, along with its material shell, was forcibly split in half by this single strike!
Dark green blood, shattered organs, and tough carapace fragments erupted like a volcano, mixed with the foul mist evaporated by the blade’s air, exploding violently!
Its core—a violently pulsating dark green crystal wrapped in tough fascia, was exposed to the air and quickly snatched up by Qin Shi.
The surging life essence flowed freely into his body like a dam burst, replenishing his energy.
"The deep diver Luo Su has been slain in a single blow!"
Long Qiuyuan watched the battle in the no-man’s-land, being the only witness.
"The boss’s progress speed is terrifying to the extreme; no wonder he said unless it’s a follower of disaster level four, it can’t pressure him."
As the enormous form of the deep diver Luo Su collapsed, Long Qiuyuan hurried to appease the Mechanical Soul, lighting incense, applying oil, and then transmitting this immensely stunning scene live to the rear.
Quickly, the Western Front command received it.
"Our Scorching Sun of Heng Province has frighteningly strong combat ability, even managing to slay a follower like the deep diver Luo Su ranked in the top twenty of the polluted area."
Although only able to see blurred and disjointed combat footage, the chief of staff with a major’s shoulder rank breathed a sigh of relief. The most update n0vels are published on novel⸺fire.net
Another commander of the same level also praised:
"At this age, with such combat prowess and achievement, he reminds one of Han Qingyu, the former commander."
As they conversed, the communication channel fully opened, crackling to life.
From the Western Front command, to the frontline Xinhai Barrier City, and to the other side’s White Poplar Barrier City, every combat unit with basic communication tools heard that clear and calm voice.
A very simple opening—
A brief pause left everyone on the other end of the communication channel holding their breath.
"I know that each of you is facing enemies multiple, even tens of times beyond your number. You’re bleeding, sacrificing, standing your ground without retreat, and advancing."
"Some say the frontline is too dangerous, that the Scorching Sun shouldn’t come." Qin Shi’s voice rose sharply, filled with decisive power, "But I say, the real danger is retreating! Is fear! For nine hundred millennia, Dongxia has always been forging ahead! It was so before; it will be so in the future!"
"I stand here, at the forefront of the Western Front, not just because of my power." He tightened his grip on his military knife, which emitted a low hum, "But because, Dongxia’s blade must point at the enemy! Dongxia’s Scorching Sun must illuminate the darkest corners of the battlefield!"
"The void is unbeatable? The followers are undying? No, the former New Star of Heng Province didn’t even have a foothold or shelter. Our forefathers pioneered this planet, transforming it from wasteland into an administrative district."
"Grip your weapons! Hold your positions!" Qin Shi’s voice, like a heavy hammer, struck the heart of every soldier, "Look at me! See how I grind the obstacles before Dongxia into dust!"
Qin Shi held the military knife parallel, its tip pointing directly at Kazan the Observer.
"Push forward with me!"
The rear positions erupted in thunderous roars!
Qin Shi’s words and actions ignited the blood of all soldiers like the strongest stimulant!
Even at the Western Front command, several staff officers and senior officers were greatly shaken.
This would be the best pre-battle speech since the offensive horn sounded on the Western Front!
"Let the frontlines advance comprehensively!"
The highest commander at the Western Front battlefield issued the order.
"All combat units, assemble in the direction Lieutenant Qin is attacking. Tear open the polluted area’s defense line, advance, advance, advance!"
Soon, the ground shook with a rumbling as a steel flood poured forth, rushing towards the frontline area turned to scorched earth!
"The speech was well written, A-Qiu."
Qin Shi finished his dramatic reading, voluntarily praised.
"Thank you, boss, can I get a raise?"
Long Qiuyuan chuckled cheekily.
Standing among the wreckage, Qin Shi’s uniform was stained with a bit of dust and dark green blood, but his posture remained as upright as a pine.
"The Scorching Sun that enters the battlefield by choice, no matter how bright, is destined to extinguish here today!"
The heart of Kazan the Observer remained cold, seemingly unmoved even after witnessing Qin Shi slay the deep diver Luo Su.
"You’ve already entered hell, there’s no escape."
The tattered black robe billowed as if filled with a fierce wind.
The Despair Domain no longer expanded but contracted inward, akin to a collapsing asteroid.
As Kazan the Observer raised a hand, a meticulously condensed, arm-thick jet-black ray was suddenly unleashed!
This ray emitted a chilling desolation, piercing through all barriers, freezing and decaying everything in its path—even space seemed to tremble before it!
