Chapter 1516

Bright Creek Town had been lost to Zi Chen's repeated attempts to lure the enemy. The original town had become a deep pit. The Mountain Spirit King had exerted great effort, and all the battle spirits in the town had died.

As for the process, it was exactly the same as in Kunming Town. The twins had contributed greatly.

During this period, it was worth mentioning that the Starry Sky City had sent a team of powerhouses as reinforcements. Zi Chen stood in the middle of the road, holding a saber in his hand. All the reinforcements had been killed, and he had the aura of a man who could hold back ten thousand enemies.

After that, no more reinforcements appeared. However, Zi Chen had not completely suppressed the news of the two towns' destruction, and the battle spirits of the Starry Sky City had learned of it.

655 humans had destroyed two towns and killed more than 65,555 battle spirits. This result was hard to believe, but it was the truth.

No matter how the process had been, the result had been decided. The Outsiders had lost two more towns, and their battle spirits had suffered a great loss. They naturally would not underestimate the human team.

After destroying two towns and obtaining a great victory, Zi Chen's side had not suffered many casualties, but they had expended a great deal of energy. Following this, he did not order his people to continue forward. Instead, he began to recuperate.

This recuperation took a long time. During this time, Zi Chen had been looking at the map, deducing the next battle in his mind.

However, there was only one Starry Sky City left, and all the battle spirits would gather there. Without reinforcements, the defensive array would never be activated.

No matter how he deduced, there was only one result, and that was … a battle to the death.

Looking at the map was completely futile.

There were still 48 people alive in the 655-man team. During this recuperation period, everyone was very excited because there was only one battle left. Once this battle ended, they would be able to return.

This time, they had obtained a lot of luck points. Once they returned, they would be able to exchange for all the items in the nine-story tower.

After looking at the map for several days, Zi Chen could not figure out anything. He put away the map and could not help but sigh. "This last battle is really not going to be easy."

The last battle was not going to be easy.

In the first two battles, although Zi Chen had commanded his troops like a god, the most fundamental reason was that the other side had been arrogant and careless. However, in the last town, there was no such thing as luck. They could only fight to the death.

On Zi Chen's side, there were not many things left that could be used.

Wanting to take down a city with just a few dozen people was undoubtedly a daydream, a fantasy.

The excited crowd knew how difficult it would be to achieve victory, so everyone was quietly recovering and did not disturb Zi Chen, who was thinking of countermeasures.

Zi Chen closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He was also quietly thinking of countermeasures.

In the outside world, the people who had been standing in front of the screen for more than a year were also thinking of countermeasures.

But to them, killing them with brute force was not a problem. Leading troops into battle and coming up with countermeasures was undoubtedly a huge problem. And no matter how they looked at it, Zi Chen did not have a chance of winning.

The main reason was that the difference in numbers was too great.

One of them said, "Zi Chen is no match for him in a head-on fight. The only way is to sneak in, destroy the last summoning platform, and then leave."

Some people couldn't help but smile bitterly when they heard this. Even if they were lucky enough to break through the recruitment platform, they definitely wouldn't be able to leave.

The old man shook his head. He was not good at commanding battles, so he had no idea how to deal with this.

If it were him, he could destroy the Starry Sky City in one move. Unfortunately, he couldn't enter that place.

Everything depended on Zi Chen.

Everyone had a plan in mind, but no one said it out loud.

This plan would not provide Zi Chen and the others with a chance to survive, but to complete the mission.

Bluntly speaking, the true identity of Zi Chen and the others was on the verge of being revealed. They were … suicide soldiers.

Suicide soldiers only needed to complete the mission by hook or by crook. They did not need to consider anything else.

Zi Chen was still deep in thought, but he was just putting on an act. There was nothing he could do about the upcoming battle, because the initiative was no longer in his hands, but in the hands of the foreign races in the Starry Sky City.

Footsteps rang out as Hammer walked to Zi Chen's side and sat down. "Have you thought of any countermeasures?"

Zi Chen smiled bitterly. "Other than fighting to the death, what else can we do?"

Hammer simply stared straight ahead, not saying a word.

Zi Chen did not say a word either.

After a long time had passed, Hammer muttered, "Our mission is to destroy the Recruitment Platform in Starry Sky City. That is the last and most crucial one. If we fail to destroy it, our one year's worth of effort would have been wasted. That is because those Recruitment Platforms can be regenerated."

Zi Chen looked at Hammer with surprise in his eyes.

"But we can't say that what we've done is useless. It'll take a long time to restore all the destroyed summoning platforms. During this time, the awakened battle spirits won't be summoned, and someone from the Domain Manor will deal with them."

Zi Chen retracted his gaze and remained silent.

Hammer's gaze turned resolute as he said solemnly, "If you have no other choice, you can give up on the three of us, because the three of us had no intention of leaving alive when we came in."

Hammer looked at Zi Chen and said, "This is the last recruitment platform. We can't let all our previous efforts go to waste. This is something that none of our predecessors have been able to do. It will be a great merit if we can prevent the people of the Zhan Wu Continent from being plunged into misery and suffering again."

With that, Hammer patted Zi Chen's shoulder and got up to leave.

Zi Chen was still silent, but the meaning of Hammer's words was very clear.

It was time to sacrifice oneself for righteousness.

For humanity, for the greater good.

Zi Chen took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

The team rested for ten days. During this time, not a single battle spirit scout came. This made Zi Chen feel even more troubled.

On the eleventh day, Zi Chen got up and scanned the group. "Let's go."

A cultivator asked curiously, "Do we need to make any preparations?"

They seemed to have been silently preparing for the previous battle.

Zi Chen said without turning his head, "No, we'll deal with them as they come."

The hundred-man team led the foreign beast army toward the Starry Sky City.

The foreign race army had already gathered at the foot of the Starry Sky City.

Since the Starry Sky City had four city gates and they were not sure where Zi Chen would appear from, there were battle spirit armies stationed outside the four city gates. Each side had more than 65,555 soldiers.

There were more than forty thousand foreign tribe battle spirits, and every single one of them was at the Second Domain Realm. Not only were Zi Chen and the others shocked by this number, even the people in the outside world gasped when they saw it.

In addition to this army, there were many figures flashing on the Starry Sky City. Clearly, there were even more foreign race battle spirits.

At a glance, the number of battle spirits in the army was probably more than 655,555, and each of them was at the Domain Realm. Such a powerful combat power would be an unimaginably powerful force in the outside world.

Taking Huping City as an example, if this army attacked, it would be able to flatten Huping City.

However, there were less than 655 humans standing in front of this terrifying army.

How should they fight this battle?

Zi Chen arrived with the others. When he saw the foreign race army, he could not help but smile bitterly.

Behind Zi Chen, the expressions of the people changed, and anger appeared on their faces. Man Shi cursed, "Shameless, these guys are really shameless."

The others' expressions were also very ugly, and they all glared at the foreign race battle spirits.

The battle spirit army was more than 95,555, and they could completely crush these mere 655 humans. However, these battle spirits had actually sent out a large number of human slaves. They stood in front of the foreign race army with weapons in their hands. It was obvious that they were being used as cannon fodder.

The sky above the Starry Sky City was brighter than other places. Under the bright light, the human slaves' lifeless expressions were reflected, as well as some rare expressions of fear, nervousness, excitement, and bloodthirstiness.

Fear was because of fear, nervousness was because of the upcoming battle, excitement was because of the high reward given by their master, and bloodthirstiness was purely for killing.

Zi Chen appeared outside the eastern city gate.

Behind the group of slaves, the battle spirit leader sat on the back of a tall mutated beast. When he saw Zi Chen appear with the army of mutated beasts, a trace of cold killing intent flashed through his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Kill."

After the murderous cry, the human slaves all raised the weapons in their hands and madly charged toward Zi Chen and the others.

The strongest among them was only at the early stage of the first domain realm, but most of them were in the Corporeal Realm. Their combat strength was not worth mentioning, but they had the advantage in numbers and were numb to death.

"My lord, what should we do?"

Seeing the human slaves charging over, the crowd looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's expression gradually turned cold, and his eyes gradually turned cold. He also waved his hand and shouted, "Retreat."

Zi Chen chose to avoid the first battle.

The entire army began to retreat. They did not engage the humans, and they retreated more than five kilometers.

There were no traces of the human slaves behind them. A cultivator reported, "My lord, they did not chase after us. They retreated after chasing us for five kilometers."

Zi Chen smiled when he heard this, but his smile became even more bitter.

He knew that all his plans were useless. The battle spirits would not take the initiative to attack. They would only defend and guard the last summoning platform.

As a result, Zi Chen only had one path left, and that was to attack.

"My lord, what should we do now?" The crowd did not pay attention and stared blankly at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's expression gradually turned gloomy. Now was not the time to be wishy-washy. He coldly said, "Attack. Kill those humans first. Leave no one alive."

Zi Chen led the army and appeared outside the starry sky city for the second time. They still stood in the direction of the eastern gate, but compared to last time, there was no aggressive mutated beast army.

When the battle spirit leader saw Zi Chen again, a trace of a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He waved his hand again and said, "Kill."

Once again, the human slaves raised their weapons and charged toward Zi Chen and the others. There was a trace of madness in their sluggish expressions. They looked like beastmasters who were forcibly controlling mutated beasts who had lost their minds.

This was war. On the battlefield, there was no such thing as mercy. Seeing the human slaves charging forward, Zi Chen raised his right hand and suddenly slammed it down. "Kill."

Ninety-three humans, led by Zi Chen, rushed toward the human slaves.

This was a battle between the later generations of humans and their ancestors of human bloodlines.

However, after making the decision to attack, Zi Chen no longer hesitated. He flashed forward and instantly unsheathed his long saber. Saber lights flashed, and a large number of human slaves fell.

"Be careful. Mist Shadow, follow the Heavenly Dao. Divine Fate, follow me."

The long saber in his hand did not return to its scabbard. With a sweep of his saber, large numbers of human slaves fell. Zi Chen shouted and charged toward the foreign race army.
