Chapter 73 The Death of the Old Gods
The air was torn apart by the violent force, like a piece of cloth!
The deafening sonic boom occurred almost simultaneously with the arrival of a golden figure!
Time seemed to have been cut off by a single frame.
In the blink of an eye, the claw-like wind had already touched Zhao Meng's hair on his forehead, chilling him to the bone.
The next instant, a figure, as if cast in metal and shimmering with a faint golden light, stood like the most solid barrier between Zhao Meng and his wife and the deadly claws!
It's Li Hao!
His appearance was so sudden and so swift.
It seemed to appear out of thin air, its body still surrounded by the residual air currents and faint golden light flakes from its high-speed movement.
"puff!"
The Silver Behemoth was determined to win, and with all its strength, it stabbed solidly in the center of Li Hao's chest!
The expected scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere did not occur. Instead, there was a dull thud like a blunt metal object hitting the ground!
The Silver Behemoth felt as if its claws had struck an ancient, existing metal mountain!
An unparalleled force of recoil surged through the claws and arms, accompanied by a scorching and domineering aura that surged upwards!
"Snap!"
A crisp cracking sound rang out, but it didn't come from Li Hao's chest.
It came from the silver claws of the Silver Behemoth, which were capable of tearing through steel!
The claw tip shattered, and fine cracks spread along the claw toes!
"What?!"
The silver Behemoth's crimson pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints, its simple thoughts instantly overwhelmed by immense pain and unbelievable horror.
Its claws... were broken?
It crashed into this human and shattered?!
Before it could recover from this mind-blowing shock...
They didn't even have time to feel the excruciating pain coming from their claws.
An ordinary-looking fist, yet seemingly containing the power to shatter mountains and split seas, had already filled its entire field of vision in its rapidly enlarging pupils.
Li Hao's eyes were as cold as ice, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, and he simply threw a punch.
boom! ! !
Like an overripe watermelon being struck by a heavy hammer!
The ferocious head of the Silver Behemoth was utterly powerless against this punch and instantly shattered!
Red, white, and silver bone fragments were mixed together.
The force of the punch was so immense that it radiated outwards!
The headless mutilated body stiffened for a moment, then was violently thrown away by the aftershock of the punch, rolling like a discarded tattered sack and crashing into the distant ruins, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Sold out instantly!
A truly blatant, unpretentious, crushing annihilation!
quiet!
A deathly silence, even more profound than when Zhao Meng had erupted before!
All the remaining sounds on the battlefield—the sounds of fighting, roaring, and wailing.
It was as if they had all been shattered and emptied by that punch.
Regardless of whether they were residents of the community who were fighting to the death.
The ferocious attacking Black Iron Behemoths and natives, as well as the remaining four Silver Behemoths poised to pounce, all seemed to be frozen in place.
Frozen in place.
Staring dumbfounded at the direction where the headless corpse rolled down, then looking at the golden figure who slowly withdrew his fist, leaving not even a white mark on his chest.
"It's...it's Captain Li Hao!"
Niu Dazhuang, his face covered in blood, was the first to react, his voice distorted with extreme excitement and disbelief.
"Savior! Savior has arrived!!" Zhang Jinfeng's face turned bright red.
"Captain Li Hao is back! We're saved!!" Liu Xueqin's husband, Wang Yi, cheered loudly.
In an instant, the overwhelming joy of surviving the ordeal erupted like a volcano among the survivors of the community!
Many people were moved to tears, trembling all over, and almost collapsed to the ground.
Li Hao's return is like a beacon in the darkness, not only dispelling the darkness but also bringing hope and warmth.
The people's previously despairing hearts were rekindled with hope and became invigorated.
In stark contrast to the residents' jubilation, the enemy camp instantly fell into a state of panic.
The remaining four silver behemoths witnessed the horrific sight of their companion having his head smashed open with a single punch, a power that seemed to destroy everything in its path.
That incredible defense triggered their fighting instincts, which came from the depths of their blood, to go into overdrive!
Danger! Extreme danger! You cannot fight them!
"Roar! Run! Run!"
A silver Behemoth let out a terrified scream and turned to run for its life toward the gap in the community.
Even disregarding its balance, it used all four limbs to knock over the Black Iron Behemoth blocking its path.
The other three were instantly terrified, no longer daring to harbor even the slightest thought of attacking.
They wished their parents had given them two more legs, as they frantically scurried off in different directions!
What divine majesty, what killing missions—they're all a joke in the face of absolute power and death.
The Black Iron Behemoths and the human natives were already terrified. Seeing that even the strongest Silver Behemoth was fleeing like a stray dog, they had no will to fight left.
"Run!"
Like the receding tide of black sewage, they fled in disarray, abandoning their armor and weapons, crying out for their parents, rushing towards the breach in a chaotic scene.
"Trying to run away."
A cold glint flashed in Li Hao's eyes.
Let these executioners who slaughtered their compatriots go free.
Absolutely impossible!
With a slight thought, the surging power within him combined with the bio-force field he had regained and gained, becoming even stronger.
"boom!"
The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, and he vanished from his spot in an instant, like a golden arrow that had broken free from gravity!
It left only a ring of spreading white sonic boom cloud in place.
Breaking the sound barrier!
Supersonic movement!
White air currents surged.
The piercing sound that seemed to tear at the eardrums seemed to linger in the same spot.
Li Hao's figure had already appeared like a ghost behind the fastest silver Behemoth.
The silver behemoth felt a fierce wind rushing from behind, and the golden light was blinding. Before it could turn around, a fist wrapped in a faint golden light was imprinted on the back of its head as if it had been teleported.
dead!
A fierce glint flashed in Li Hao's eyes.
"puff!"
The same muffled thud, the same head exploding.
The headless corpse of the silver behemoth lunged forward, then slid more than ten meters due to inertia, crashing into a low wall.
Li Hao didn't stop for a moment, and his figure blurred again.
"Bang!"
The second silver Behemoth that tried to squeeze into the gaps in the ruins was blasted into countless pieces by a single punch, along with half a wall of debris.
"Snap!"
The third Silver Behemoth, which leaped up to try and jump over the wall, was caught up by Li Hao in mid-air and kicked in the lumbar spine.
Its entire body was folded at an eerie angle, crashing into the ground like a cannonball, embedding itself deeply, and never to live again.
The last, most cunning, and most convoluted Silver Behemoth was about to burst through the gap, and even glanced back, a hint of relief flashing in its eyes.
"boom!"
Li Hao descended from the sky like a meteorite, kneeling heavily on the broad back of the silver Behemoth!
"Snap!!!"
A series of bone-cracking sounds, like popping beans, rang out, sending chills down your spine!
The spine and ribs of the Silver Behemoth were instantly shattered, and its internal organs were turned into a mess.
Before it could even scream, its entire chest collapsed, and blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed from its mouth and nose, killing it instantly.
In the blink of an eye, like a rabbit leaping and a falcon swooping.
The five ferocious silver behemoths were utterly annihilated by Li Hao with violence, like chickens and dogs!
Their deaths were gruesome, with not a single body intact!
This bloody and shocking scene completely shattered the last shred of hope of the remaining enemies.
The black Behemoths and the human natives, seeing this scene, were terrified and scattered in all directions.
Li Hao gave them no chance, transforming into the Grim Reaper and quickly catching up.
He was like a ferocious beast, simply flying past the black Behemoths. One by one, the black Behemoths were hit as if by a super high-speed train, their bones snapping with a "crack," and they flew away spitting blood.
"Bang bang bang".
In the blink of an eye, all twenty-odd black Behemoths were blasted to death.
The corpses lay sprawled on the ground, their eyes wide open, their expressions filled with utter terror.
Seeing that they couldn't escape, the natives collectively knelt down and begged for mercy, prostrating themselves on their knees.
"Spare me!"
"Please spare my life!"
"We surrender! We surrender!"
"Don't kill us! We're willing to be your slaves!"
The remaining nearly one hundred human indigenous warriors all collapsed.
They dropped their crude weapons and, as if their bones had been removed, knelt down in unison.
He kowtowed frantically to Li Hao.
He was oblivious to the blood streaming down his face as his forehead slammed against the hard ground or gravel, desperately crying out for mercy.
They realized that this human, who resembled a golden war god, was the true ruler of this place!
Only by begging for mercy can one save their life.
Otherwise, they would end up like the Behemoths they worship, being killed with a single punch.
Li Hao hovered in the low sky, his golden light slowly receding.
He exuded an aura of majesty as majestic as a mountain or a god, which weighed heavily on the hearts of every surviving native.
He glanced at the trembling, kneeling human natives scattered on the ground.
The voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable determination.
"Dazhuang, organize some men to tie up all these locals and keep them under guard."
Any unusual activity will be met with death.
"Yes!" Niu Dazhuang immediately responded in a hoarse voice, quickly gathering the remaining evolved humans and residents who could still move, and took out ropes.
Weapons were confiscated and prisoners were bound.
"Bro! You're amazing! Was that a sonic boom cloud? You broke the speed of sound!"
Ignoring his drooping left arm, Li Wen rushed over excitedly, his eyes filled with admiration.
Despite being covered in injuries, he was unusually excited.
"Hmm." Li Hao glanced at him, his gaze lingering on his twisted left arm, his brow furrowing slightly. "How's your arm?"
"It's alright!"
Li Wen swayed nonchalantly, wincing in pain but still trying to endure it.
"My bone may be fractured, but I'm recovering well, and I'll be fine in a couple of days!"
Compared to you, brother, these are just minor injuries!
At this moment, Zhao Meng, with his wife's support, struggled to his feet.
His face was pale, his breath was weak, and the wound on his back was still bleeding, but his gaze was complicated as he looked at Li Hao.
Li Hao killed his underling; this was revenge.
Now that he and his wife have been saved, that's a favor.
If Li Hao hadn't arrived in time, he and his wife would have certainly died.
This left him unsure how to treat the other person in the future.
Li Hao has been surrounded by Wang Hao, Niu Dazhuang, Zhang Jinfeng and others.
"Thanks to your timely return, otherwise our community might not have survived." Wang Hao said with a hint of relief.
They can still fight against the black Behemoths.
However, the six Silver Behemoths were too powerful. Even though Zhao Meng killed one of them, there were still five left.
With Zhang Xiaonan also unconscious, there was simply no force in the community capable of fighting them.
He glanced at the collapsed building next to him; the power of the Silver Behemoth was too great.
If Li Hao hadn't made it back in time, the entire community would have been wiped out.
