Chapter 463 Fighting a Peak Fifth-Tier Player! (10,000 words, please vote!)
In that instant, the dark sky of Dongcheng City seemed to be torn open with shocking cracks!
Thousands of crimson lightning bolts, like raging dragons soaked in blood, suddenly broke free from the shackles of darkness, roaring out from the cracks and tearing through the sky! With the force of thunder, they struck the buildings below without warning!
That moment! It was like the end of the world! Countless buildings had their windows shattered, and the reinforced concrete frames twisted and deformed in the blink of an eye. Some even collapsed with a roar, raising clouds of dust!
In that instant, the sky was dyed an eerie dark red! It was as if a gigantic, indescribable monster had stretched out thousands of tentacles downwards!
Flames spread rapidly through the ruins, engulfing everything in their raging fire. The air was thick with the acrid smell of burning and blood, the two mingling to create an indescribable atmosphere of terror.
A deafening roar of thunder echoed through the air, mingling with the terrified screams, cries, and roars of flames.
With just one strike, the capital of Dongye Prefecture was transformed into a lost paradise filled with bloodshed, chaos, and destruction!
Meanwhile!
A man's loud shout suddenly rang out over Dongcheng City, "How dare you!"
The next second! Amidst the apocalyptic scene of intertwined crimson lightning and the world seemingly on the verge of collapse, a man suddenly appeared in mid-air!
He stood 1.95 meters tall, his muscles bulging, radiating immense power. His entire body was ablaze with golden armor, a stark contrast to the surrounding crimson lightning!
The golden armor spread across his hands, transforming into a one-handed battle axe!
He glared at the sky, then transformed into countless phantoms, frantically swinging his battle axe as he faced the crimson lightning that came crashing down upon him!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" His movements were swift and precise, each strike accurately cleaving through the crimson lightning that was trying to descend! He shattered them into a sky full of bloody light!
Even more terrifying was that with each swing, his power seemed to increase! Therefore, he swung his battle axe faster and faster! And the afterimages multiplied!
Finally, after he had unleashed countless attacks, suddenly, his myriad phantoms condensed into a towering, earth-shattering phantom of a martial god!
The single battle axe in his hand transformed into a giant axe that split the heavens and cleaved fiercely towards the sky!
In that instant! A dazzling crimson lightning bolt, as thick as a stone pillar, descended with a "boom!" and collided with the golden giant axe!
At that moment, crimson lightning and the golden giant axe intertwined, collided, and exploded in mid-air! They released dazzling light and powerful energy fluctuations, which continued to spread throughout the entire East City!
Upon seeing this, another figure leaped up! It was a thin, dark-skinned old man!
He was like a raging thunder god, his pale hair standing on end, his nose high and strong, like a small hill standing in the center of his face, his nostrils wide open, spewing out flames of anger!
It was none other than Liu Xiongyuan!
Upon seeing this scene, Qiu Tu, who was still in the villa, knew that he had to step forward as well!
So he... put on his pants, then leaped up and soared into the sky, standing shoulder to shoulder with Liu Xiongyuan!
Although his "appearance" is not as good as Yoo Woong-won's, it doesn't matter, he's handsome enough.
So, he clasped his hands together, gracefully took out a gleaming sword from the dimensional space, held it upside down, and gazed at the sky!
Although his "Order Space" is useless against a fifth-tier peak Great Evil God, his own strength has already reached the fourth-tier peak. Relying solely on his own strength, plus the swordsmanship he learned from Tang Feifei, he still possesses considerable combat power!
Furthermore, the great evil god before him was clearly not here in his true form, but rather radiating his power through some means, so Qiu Tu was not afraid at all!
As he was thinking this, Liu Xiongyuan, standing in the air, glanced at Qiu Tu with his dark face and nodded slightly.
Then he roared and charged towards the blood-red lightning bolt as thick as a stone pillar like an arrow released from a bow!
Seeing this, Qiu Tu once again recalled the "basic sword technique" that Tang Feifei had taught him, gathered all his cataclysmic power, and swung it fiercely!
The next second, a crescent-shaped sword light shot straight towards the lightning!
Three Tier 4 Cataclysms joined forces! In fact, two of them were even at the peak of Tier 4 Cataclysms!
In an instant, the blood-red lightning bolt, as thick as a stone pillar, cracked inch by inch! It exploded into a sky full of bloody light!
Perhaps realizing that things were hopeless, the crimson color that filled the sky slowly dissipated, leaving only broken tiles and ruins on the ground, and three people standing in the air!
The sounds of flames burning, people's screams of terror and cries mingled under the dark night sky. Huang Shangzong turned around with a livid face, his deep eyes sweeping over the Dongcheng City below.
After a moment, he looked at Liu Xiong Yuan and said, "Old Liu, arrange for the Dongcheng City Investigation Bureau to come out immediately for disaster relief. Count the number of casualties."
Faced with the disaster, even the usually carefree Liu Xiongyuan's expression turned serious. He gave a deep "hmm," his dark face resembling an old pine tree sculpted by time, its wrinkles deep and hard.
Then, in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
After he left, Huang Shangzong's gaze fell on Qiu Tu.
Qiu Tu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Huang Shangzong's gaze towards him was somewhat complicated.
A question mark popped into Qiu Tu's head as he wanted to ask Huang Shangzong what instructions and arrangements he had.
However, Huang Shangzong waved his hand and said, "Speaker Qiu, you've worked hard."
"If you have time, let's help with disaster relief together."
After saying that, he vanished into the air in a flash, seemingly to arrange the aftermath of the entire incident.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment, a few guesses forming in his mind. Then he didn't linger: this sudden turn of events tonight had disrupted all his plans.
He now has to do not only disaster relief, but also a lot of follow-up work.
With that thought in mind, he turned around and flew back to Ellie's villa.
At this moment, just as the three of them left the battlefield one after another.
The other vice speakers, Ye Mingfeng, Li Tingdong, and Dai Yukang, then looked away with complicated expressions.
As figures standing atop the pyramid of Dongye Prefecture, the three of them were also quite powerful, all reaching the third rank or above.
However, compared to Liu Xiong Yuan, and even Qiu Tu and Huang Shang Zong, they were somewhat lacking. Therefore, when faced with the sudden attack from a peak fifth-tier evil god, they were unable to participate in the battle and could only observe from below.
Therefore... they are also the ones who understand Huang Shangzong's feelings the most.
Because they were facing a fifth-tier peak evil god, Qiu Tu, Huang Shangzong, and Liu Xiongyuan were all going all out.
Among them, Liu Xiongyuan was clearly inferior to Huang Shangzong and Qiu Tu by more than one level.
Although it looked impressive, its explosive power was far inferior to that of Huang Shangzong and Qiu Tu.
Everyone knew Huang Shangzong's strength; he was a powerful general who had fought against three fourth-tier evil gods!
Qiu Tu was almost comparable to Huang Shangzong!
Therefore, it is almost certain that Qiu Tu's strength is a genuine peak of the fourth tier!
A peak Tier 4 Cataclysm in his early twenties! And he only became a Cataclysm a year ago and advanced to Tier 4 just half a month ago!
How can one person improve so quickly!
Although they had all seen the video of Qiu Tu killing the fourth-tier evil god whale shark before.
But doubts still lingered in her heart. She suspected that Qiu Tu might have used some special cataclysmic artifact to achieve such an effect.
Now... they had no more doubts. Qiu Tu had truly reached the peak of the fourth rank!
So, at that moment, the three of them had the same complex look in their eyes as Huang Shangzong...
'These young people are truly formidable...'
.........
At this moment, just as the speakers were all shocked by Qiu Tu's strength.
Qiu Tu also returned to Ellie's villa.
Ellie was still wrapped in a blanket at this time.
Qiu Tu rolled up the blanket and dragged it in front of him. Then he lifted the blanket, revealing Ellie's buttocks!
Qiu Tu took a shower, got dressed, and left, leaving Ellie still wrapped in the blanket as he went out to provide disaster relief...
It wasn't until Qiu Tu had been gone for ten minutes that Ellie struggled to crawl out of bed.
'Am I going crazy?!' Thinking this, Ellie covered her face, feeling like she was going insane.
Compared to her own crazy actions, Qiu Tu's battle with the evil god outside and his subsequent return to pour a glass of milk seemed insignificant!
'Could it be that I've fallen in love with Qiu Tu?'
What should I do now?
Perhaps because everything happened so suddenly, Ellie was completely bewildered...
Meanwhile, Ellie wasn't the only one confused.
Xue'er and Yan Yan, who had already sneaked back upstairs, were also confused.
They are completely baffled as to what happened tonight.
And perhaps because things changed so quickly, they even doubted that they were dreaming.
In particular, Qiu Tu was in his room one second, then went to the sky to fight the evil god the next, and then returned to his room the following second, making a complete repetition.
This action completely shattered their worldview.
Yan Yan was alright; all she could think was, "My master is amazing!"
Xue'er, however, thought much more deeply.
The expression on her face grew increasingly frantic, eventually turning into maniacal laughter.
She shook Yan Yan, then lowered her voice and said, "Yan Yan, Qiu Tu is a madman! A real madman!"
"He actually killed Ellie while the wine was still warm!"
"Pfft!" Upon hearing that terrible analogy, Yan Yan almost spat out her water.
Xue'er was oblivious to Yan Yan's antics, her eyes gleaming with madness and interest. "This is so interesting! I want him, Yan Yan! I want her!"
To be honest, even Yan Yan, who felt like a psychopath herself, thought Xue'er was incredibly psychopathic...
......
Meanwhile, I left Ellie's house.
Guan Xiao's car had just stopped.
This woman must have rushed here immediately after seeing the change in the weather.
She always knows when to do what and when not to do what.
He opened the car door and got in. Qiu Tu lit a cigarette and said, "To the Dongcheng City Investigation Bureau."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao responded and then hurriedly headed towards the Dongcheng City Investigation Bureau.
The car sped along the road, and what Qiu Tu saw were crowds running and wailing everywhere, rooftops ablaze, and walls that had fallen to the ground, killing passersby...
The once bustling Dongcheng City now resembles a hellish place.
Qiu Tu smoked a cigarette with a heavy expression, but his mental energy was actually chatting with La Riluo, who was hiding in the back row.
Was that dusk just now?
Without anyone else to bother her this time, Lariel readily admitted, 'It must be Him. But...He seems to have become stronger. He wasn't this strong before.'
Qiu Tu took a deep drag of his cigarette and then exhaled heavily.
White smoke billowed out of the car, and Qiu Tu continued to ask, 'How did He do it? And what was His purpose?'
Lariluo truly lives up to her reputation as a deity from the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region".
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, she explained, "Mu Ye likely arrived in Dongcheng City using the 'long-distance descent' method unique to a peak fifth-tier Great Evil God."
'A long-distance arrival?' Qiu Tu was clearly puzzled.
Larilu hummed in agreement, her exquisite face filled with seriousness. She explained, "This method is unique to peak fifth-tier Great Evil Gods. Its function is to utilize the properties of the 'Boundless Sea of Mind' to project one's power into other areas."
'This is to achieve a situation where one can exert a significant influence on a particular area without needing to borrow a vehicle or appear in person!'
'It is precisely because of this ability that the Great Evil God has initially gained the ability to be fearless of various missiles and even nuclear threats from humanity.'
'After all...they can gain the ability to influence the real world at a very small cost.'
After listening to La Riluo's explanation, Qiu Tu nodded slightly.
Then he asked, "So what do you think is the purpose of Mu Ye's visit this time?"
