The light pillar that descended from the sky instantly vaporized everything within a range of ten lis. When the white light gradually disappeared, all it left behind was charred land.
There was almost no sight of any other matter above the horizon on the flat land. The entire land was like a piece of black cloth that had been ironed.
As for the Gray Army's headquarters... Not a single strand of hair was left behind in the Heaven-Connecting Tower that was the world's tallest building.
Simultaneously, Jessica could be seen holding the Panwei Sword and standing in void space. She wore a solemn expression and said coldly, "A reminder to everyone present that you still have another two hours to decide if you want to surrender."
Although everything within a range of ten lis had been completely vaporized, the seven commanders clearly had used their own means to survive. Lights of seven colors including red, blue, and orange encompassed their bodies, allowing the commanders to float in midair.
Seeing the charred land and hearing Jessica's threat, Hui He appeared extremely infuriated, and his mind filled with rage.
"B*tch, you're courting death!"
With an explosive bellow, Hui He slapped out his palm, and gray energy turned into a stretch of huge mountains that pressed down fiercely toward Jessica.
Filled with gray energy, the huge mountains which had been created in the blink of an eye swelled up rapidly. Very soon, they covered the sky and the sun, casting down a huge shadow.
One could faintly see that amidst the layers of mountain ranges, there seemed to be Earth's Kun Lun Mountains, the Alps, Tian Shan, Mount Kilimanjaro, and many other mountain ranges. It was as if all the mountain ranges on the planet had been connected together and were now plummeting down explosively.
With a single strike, strong gales seethed, and the magnetic forces from the ground kept on interacting, unleashing a world-shaking explosive prowess.
Hui He was so enraged that he performed his ultimate move right off the bat.
In terms of the prowess within an area, this move was not comparable to the Domination punch and the Zero Seal he had performed in the past. However, its attacking range, as well as its imposing momentum, far surpassed that of the other two. It gave off an astonishing feeling of there being nowhere to hide despite the fact that it was a big world.
If he were to encounter ordinary opponents, they would probably be defeated by the imposing momentum and crushed before they could react. They would not be able to unleash even 30% of their battle prowess.
Although Hui He was enraged, he still had maintained a hint of soberness and thus decided to use this move to deal with a newbie like Jessica.
However, faced with the mountains' shadows that were covering up the skies while plummeting down, Jessica's expression remained calm. She held the Panwei Sword and slashed out toward the sky. Then a stream of sword Qi about 1,000 meters in width soared up like the Milky Way had been turned upside down. It slashed out fiercely toward the mountains' shadows.
Rumbling sounds rang out, and the sword Qi clashed against the mountains' shadows. In that instant, soil and rock bits flew all over the place. Numerous mountain ranges were torn apart and shattered, and the remnants plunged downward.
With a single sword attack, the massive mountains' shadow in the sky was split into two. The sword Qi kept on advancing forward and then disappearing into the horizon.
The mountains' shadows that had been split into two held on for a few seconds before they gradually collapsed, turning into countless pieces of shards and plunging down toward the ground. They were like numerous meteors hitting against the ground, bringing forth a great earthquake, and causing sand to fly around. The geographical terrain was also changed, leaving behind large areas of undulating massifs and huge craters.
At the sight of this scene, the commanders present were all stunned, and their gazes were fixed on the Panwei Sword in Jessica's hand. They wore curious, doubtful, and grim expressions.
After sending the sword attack slashing out, Jessica did not stay on. Instead, she turned into a stream of sword light and flew out, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Hui He's eyes narrowed, and the rage on his face disappeared completely. Instead, his eyes were now filled with coldness, revealing an extreme calm.
"You guys sensed it, right?"
A scorching gleam shone in the red-haired young man's eyes. "Didn't you notice it back at the conference hall?" This red-haired young man was the Red Army's leader—Akaryuu Juushirou1.
Hui He shook his head and said, "I originally thought that sword was materialized from Fang Xingjian's powers, just like how we use our rings to transmit our powers across great distances. But now, by the looks of it...."
When they were in the conference hall previously, Hui He had not sensed any relationship between Jessica and the longsword. All the powers had been unleashed by the longsword itself.
However, in the exchange earlier, he had clearly sensed the white energy in Jessica's body activate the longsword continuously, unleashing the astonishing sword Qi.
By the looks of it, that longsword had not been materialized from Fang Xingjian's powers. Instead, it was clearly some kind of powerful weapon.
The old monk who wore orange monk robes said slowly, "This Jessica is merely a low ranking soldier who has just joined the White Army recently. Yet, she could activate the ring's energy to release the longsword's sword Qi, displaying such great prowess. Does anyone present know of this sword's background?"
This old monk was the Orange Army's Commander—Reverend Fahui.
He was originally a monk. As the orange ring required to user to have the resolve of sacrificing themselves for others, the requirement of one's character was extremely high and the strength of their influence was about the same as that of the White Army's. However, as a highly revered monk of a generation, he was able to unleash the orange ring's powers well.
Hearing Fahui's question, Zi Ling chuckled and said, "Some time ago, a ring disappeared from the White, Silver, and Purple Armies respectively. It was a resonance in emotions, and the rings chose their own owners by themselves.
"Prior to this, no one had heard of the name Fang Xingjian. It's like he just popped up from out of nowhere. This divine sword has also appeared suddenly, and no one can figure out its background at all.
"If you think about it clearly, what Fang Xingjian performed wasn't the ring's energy, right?"
A man who seemed to be dressed in the manner of a successful figure—wearing a pair of frameless spectacles and a suit—pushed up his spectacles and said, "You're saying that this Fang Xingjian was the person whom the rings acknowledged as their owners by themselves? He appeared suddenly, so it might be possible that he's not a native from this planet and that this weapon was brought by him as well?"
This man was the most normal-looking out of everyone present. However, he was in fact the Green Army's leader—Ming Wang.
"Forget about that," Akaryuu Juushirou, whose red hair was flying about with the wind, said fiercely. "We'll snatch that sword first. This sword's prowess is not to be underestimated. If it can be used by us, then our powers will increase tremendously.
"If you guys don't want it, I'll be taking it first."
After saying that, he squatted down slightly. Although his legs were stepping on void space, it felt as if he really was stepping on something as a softbangrang out from under his legs. Then air currents rose up, and he darted out abruptly, disappearing in almost the blink of an eye.
It was the red ring's unique ability—Unbounded Leap.
The requirement for the character of the Red Army was the feeling of supremacy above all—to neglect all external regulations, etiquette, and even objective reality. They must set their inner thoughts as the foundation, seeking only clear understanding of their thoughts. This requirement was the most simple out of the rest, but it could also be said to be the hardest to be proficient in despite being easy to learn.
After all, it was easy to bully the weak and be selfish. Yet when faced with existences that were more powerful than oneself, faced with the world, with the surrounding friends and family, with gratitude and feuds.. not everyone was able to be decisive and only seek a clear understanding of their own thoughts.
And as long as one's character and will were sufficient, the Unbounded Leap was able to neglect any obstacles between the user and its target. The Red Army's leader—Akaryuu Juushirou—was the most outstanding achiever in this area.
