Once the charging is complete, another dozen meteors will crash down, and even the game character might not be able to withstand it.
Lin Qianxuan pressed his lips together, pondering whether he should use the life-saving spirit card Jiang Mengli gave him here.
Lin Qianxuan had previously instructed the game character to take out the spirit card for inspection; it was a card emitting a faint golden light.
It looked somewhat like a bank card, but it was said to be something manufactured in imitation of a talisman.
Made from a highly compressed Spirit Crystal material.
Covered with Spiritual Patterns, needing only Spiritual Power to activate, which then releases the Spirit Art upon it.
Currently, a technology still under development by the Otherworld Bureau.
This card from Jiang Mengli is rather special, having a True Intent Divine Thought of her own on it, enough to unleash her full-power strike.
Although he didn't know how strong it was, based on what Lin Qianxuan had seen in videos of Jiang Mengli making a move in Ni Country, Xiong De definitely couldn't withstand it.
The problem was, using it on Xiong De felt somewhat wasteful.
They had just entered Kyoto and hadn't even reached the Imperial City.
He hadn't seen the face of the Muddy Spirit Emperor yet, and to use the biggest trump card already felt somewhat inappropriate.
But if he didn't kill Xiong De, he feared he wouldn't even see the next segment.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Qianxuan pushed the plot forward.
He was already prepared to treat this gameplay as an information-gathering run at the very least.
To finish it swiftly and incidentally see how formidable Jiang Mengli's spirit card was.
However, once the plot advanced, things didn't unfold as Lin Qianxuan had expected.
In the screen, Gongsun Ying suddenly erupted with massive Divine Energy, rushing directly at Xiong De, engaging in a fierce battle.
Having switched to the Blood and Flesh Armor Body, Gongsun Ying now found using her Bursting Qi ability noticeably easier than before. The Divine Energy dissipating from her limbs decreased significantly, most of it being controlled, seemingly greatly enhancing her combat power.
[Gongsun Ying (shouting without turning her head): Lin Gongzi, hurry with Yue'Er and them to destroy the Moon Peak, I'll hold him off here.]
"Oh right, I have teammates! What lone hero act am I pulling?"
Lin Qianxuan's face lit up with joy, immediately executing a command.
(Go to destroy the Moon Peak.)
The game character, without hesitation, cloaked in water mist, soared into the sky carrying a Spiritual Energy Cannon, swiftly heading towards one of the Moon Peaks.
As the game character approached a Moon Peak, a distant one had already lost its glow, with the towering beam of light dimming completely, clearly the doing of the Rebel Army.
For the game character, the cannon muzzle aimed, directly launching the Spiritual Energy Cannon.
From several kilometers away, it directly blasted apart a Moon Peak that stood a hundred meters high.
Completely destroyed.
Then swiftly changing positions, the second, third, fourth... seven Moon Peaks in succession were all shattered.
The Spiritual Energy Cannon's maximum attack range could reach up to ten kilometers, this long-range advantage making the destruction of these Moon Peaks exceedingly easy for the game character.
Soon after, the game character flew towards the next Moon Peak.
The Spiritual Energy Cannon was now unusable, and with a raise of his hand, he manipulated a stream of water to directly wash over the Moon Peak.
The faint shimmering light on the Moon Peak shielded from the water impact, but couldn't withstand the game character's constant barrage. Within a few breaths, the Moon Peak's defenses began to fracture and soon crumbled.
Distant Moon Peaks now sequentially went dark as three more extinguished.
The game character intended to destroy the next Moon Peak using the same method, and saw Gongsun Yue arriving with more than a dozen rebels.
At this point, all Moon Peaks had lost their light.
Everyone gathered outside the Imperial City's moat.
This moat truly appeared like a river, both wide and long, with surging waves encircling the entire Imperial City.
They looked back, and in the distance, the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form of Gongsun Ying, spanning tens of meters, was manifesting, trampling upon one round of great suns, battling furiously with Xiong De and numerous Divine Martial Guards.
The quantity of Divine Martial Guards was still increasing, probably exceeding ten thousand, the interconnected array they formed was gathering Divine Energy, forcing Gongsun Ying into a retreat.
Having Xiong De among them made normal resistance impossible.
[Gongsun Yue (anxiously): Sister, hang on, we're coming to rescue you!]
[Gongsun Ying (through gritted teeth): No need to come, there are too many Divine Martial Guards; even if you come, it's useless. From now on, Lin Gongzi is the leader of the Rebel Army, Lin Gongzi, I'm counting on you!]
Lin Qianxuan was stunned, while Gongsun Yue couldn't accept the result.
[Gongsun Yue (shaking her head): Sister!!]
Gongsun Ying's voice vanished, the Mother-Child Sound Transmission Box seemingly damaged by attacks as well.
In the group, Gongsun Yue appeared somewhat powerless, looking rather hopeless.
The rest also looked grief-stricken.
Although they had known in advance this mission was a life-threshold of nine deaths, they still couldn't bear to witness this scene.
First to compose himself was Lou Zheng, the Squad Commander.
Having witnessed too much separation of life and death, he understood the urgency and importance of matters.
[Lou Zheng (looking at you, politely): Lin Gongzi, please issue the command.]
[Shen Hongshan (politely): Please, Leader, issue the command.]
Beside him, Liu Qingqing also acknowledged the game character as the new leader.
Other members of the Rebel Army also paid their respects to the game character.
Throughout this journey, the capability of the game character had been universally accepted, now coupled with Gongsun Ying's direct designation, despite this dire moment, there was little rejection among the group.
Gongsun Yue, seeing the situation, forced herself to adjust her emotions, and also looked towards the game character.
[Gongsun Yue (with tears in her eyes): Gongzi, please issue the command, lead us to the Imperial City to end... the Murky Catastrophe...]
Facing her relative's departure was painful for her, but knowing urgency she endured the pain and urged the game character.
"What a joke, giving up? If she's dead, why would I keep playing?"
Lin Qianxuan knew clearly, these two female characters, not one could die.
This game simply had no alternative single heroine storyline to follow.
[Lin Qianxuan (firmly): I'm going to help Miss Ying, with your limited capabilities, there's no need to follow.]
[Gongsun Yue (tearfully shaking her head): Gongzi, you're going to your death...]
[Lou Zheng (looking at you): Please take the greater picture into account, Lin Gongzi!!]
[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): To you, the greater picture is ending the Murky Catastrophe, but to me, Miss Ying is my greater picture. You guys stay here, I'll go alone.]
Lin Qianxuan's words clearly shocked Gongsun Yue.
Her expression became dazed.
[Gongsun Yue (eyes filled with tears): Gongzi, you will die!]
[Lin Qianxuan (reaching out to touch Gongsun Yue's head): Trust me, okay?]
At the critical moment, Lin Qianxuan didn't forget to do a head pat kill strategy.
Gongsun Yue felt a bit stunned.
But Lin Qianxuan had already issued the command for the game character to leave.
The game character transformed into a dragon, soaring directly into the sky.
Behind him, Gongsun Yue's eyes welled up with tears.
[Gongsun Yue (shouting eagerly): Gongzi, you have to come back!]
