Chapter 580: Chapter 580
Xiong Kang had mentioned an old man, but Lu Zixun didn’t know who he was referring to.
However, from the use of the coin, Lu Zixun had a guess.
"Gift of Destiny, when you are indecisive, you might as well toss a coin to make your final decision."
"Note: Every Gift of Destiny has already been privately marked with a price."
It was another miraculous item, similar to the Sky-splitting Gem in its uniqueness.
After pondering the interesting note, Lu Zixun stored the coin in his talisman storage.
Although Lu Zixun felt like trying out the coin’s purpose now, there didn’t seem to be anything to make him indecisive at the moment.
There were ten minutes left until the connection to the Insect Breeding Ground.
The bomber was circling the Insect Slaying Zone above, covered with a Spiritual Barrier.
This fusion of technology and Spiritual Energy did look quite pleasing, yet it was very fragile.
The Spiritual Barrier covering the bomber could only withstand one attack from a J-level Spiritual Ability User’s magic before disappearing.
However, with the speed of the bomber, that was already sufficient.
"All members, prepare to engage the enemy."
Commander Qing Yuanyang’s voice resounded above the Insect Slaying Zone.
Lu Zixun lazily activated his Ice and Fire Domain; in fact, as long as there were no insects above the I-Level, he alone was enough to hold Sector A.
The Ice and Fire Domain, when fought alone, may not be very strong.
But for the current situation, the Ice and Fire Domain could be said to be a weapon of mass destruction.
The countdown began, the world started to shake. The Insect Clan hidden behind the veil of light had already begun ramming into the barrier, with a major battle about to erupt.
A rich, bloody scent was swept by the wind across the entire Crimson Land as if to tell its inhabitants that the Insect Clan was coming.
The bomber also timed its run perfectly, entering the Insect Breeding Ground just as the veil of light disappeared.
Carrying the devastation of the Insect Clan, incendiary bombs were dropped below, and flames enveloped the Insect Breeding Ground.
But the outcome for the bomber was as Lu Zixun had expected.
After the incendiary bombs were dropped, a blood-colored cage appeared in the sky, shredding the bomber.
"Ding—Kill of Low-level Insect Clan reward Super Energy Particles +1."
"Ding—Kill of Low-level Insect Clan reward Super Energy Particles +1."
"Ding—Kill of Low-level Insect Clan reward Super Energy Particles +1."
While Lu Zixun was overlooking the battlefield, the frequent System Prompt Sound forced him to turn it off.
These Low-level Insect Clan wouldn’t retreat despite the deadly danger ahead.
They would only act according to the orders given to them, in that sense, they were quite similar to those from Crimson.
"Lord Xun, based on the current intensity of the Insect Clan’s attack, this swarm tactic does have its merits. In about three hours, Spiritual Ability Users will start to enter a state of Spiritual Energy depletion."
"By then, given the pace of Spiritual Ability Users slaying Low-level Insect Clan, this number of insects won’t last three hours."
Ling’s analytical voice rang in Lu Zixun’s ears.
The Low-level Insect Clan had also received commands, now maneuvering their bodies to avoid Sector A and head to Sector B.
In comparison to the heated battle in Sectors B and C, the area in front of Lu Zixun had become a lot quieter.
Arms crossed, Lu Zixun shook his head as he watched the scene unfold.
Enveloping an A-level perimeter with the Ice and Fire Domain was already quite a challenging task.
If his strength were around Yi Level, he could probably take on an Insect Breeding Ground by himself.
"Lord Xun, Blood Energy fluctuations are coming from underground!"
Just as Lu Zixun was pondering whether to take out the Night Evil Sword for some quick earnings, Ling’s urgent voice rang out.
Without a second thought, Lu Zixun thrust the Night Evil Sword into the ground.
Purple blood, accompanied by a pitiful scream, seeped out from the earth.
"Ding—Killing a giant dragon grants Super Energy Particles +10,000."
Sure enough, dragons that excel in sneaking up on the backline and securing victory in war are not something the Insect Clan would forget to use.
However, dragons without Hidden Blood Worms, no matter how many, are freebies.
The Night Evil Sword, embedded in the ground, formed a Spiritual Energy channel with Lu Zixun, sealing off the entire underground area beneath the city walls.
"Indeed, I-Level Spiritual Ability Users can change the tide of battle."
Han Mo’s figure appeared before Lu Zixun, but now his aura was entirely different from the last time Lu Zixun had seen him.
"Oh? Are you the commander of this war?"
With vacant eyes, Lu Zixun looked at Han Mo, a slight smile on his lips.
"Of course not, I have other tasks. I just saw an ’old friend’ here and came to catch up,"
Han Mo admitted candidly, shaking his head.
The Night Evil Sword, planted in the ground, instantaneously moved behind Han Mo and brutally pierced through his body.
The Han Mo that had seemed so lifelike in front of Lu Zixun turned into a pool of blood following the sword’s thrust, dripping down from the air.
"It was an illusion indeed."
Touching his chin, Lu Zixun’s eyes reflected a contemplative look.
The move was merely a test; whether Han Mo was the commander or not, it was kill first, ask questions later.
But since Han Mo’s appearance was just an illusion, Lu Zixun realized that he was indeed the commander of the Insect Clan’s assault on the Crimson Land. It seemed that the previous battle for supremacy had truly vexed Han Mo.
The Night Evil Sword returned to its place to continue sealing off the underground, and Lu Zixun, hands behind his back, gazed at the Insect Clan waves coming incessantly like tides and shook his head.
In such circumstances, one definitely couldn’t serve as commander if they were claustrophobic; otherwise, they’d end up terrified to madness eventually.
Lu Zixun yawned out of boredom, unsure if Han Mo had no way to deal with him, or if he planned to leave Lu Zixun till the end to take care of; regardless, that hour was like sitting on pins and needles for him.
The reason was simple: not a single Insect Clan member stepped foot into the area covered by the Ice and Fire Domain.
There were no more Super Energy Particles to gain, no feeling value either; the only thing left was Lu Zixun’s increasing familiarity with controlling the Ice and Fire Domain.
In normal encounters, his enemies would barely last twenty minutes.
But Lu Zixun certainly didn’t have the idle time to throw out an Ice and Fire Domain for fun.
However, this situation didn’t last too long, as Qing Yuanyang’s voice came through the communication device on the commander’s uniform Lu Zixun was wearing: "Zixun, two J-level Insect Clan members have appeared in Zone B, and I need your help. Coordinates 478.895."
Brightening at the words, the bored Lu Zixun, upon hearing this, quickly handed over his command to an Order Personnel and, stepping on the Night Evil Sword, flew toward the coordinates—after all, these were Super Energy Particles.
Above Zone B, two people were engaged in a frenzied slaughter, protected by Low-level Insect Clan members.
One of them, after killing a Spiritual Ability User with Blood Piercing, licked the blood off his arm, his face showing a rapturous delight.
