Chapter 105 A Day of Killing Amidst the Wind and Snow
Chapter 105 A Day of Killing Amidst the Wind and Snow
The Flying Boat left, and everyone on the scene heightened their vigilance.
In fact, everyone knew that the key to victory lay with the signal tower. Once the signal tower was completed and communication with the Supreme Star was established, more Death Squads would be directly sent down. By then, Meng Yu would be on a path to certain death.
However, everyone was even clearer that they had no choice but to attack.
Even leaving behind two hundred people and only sending out three hundred to attack wouldn't work because any delay would be deemed a problem in attitude by those above!
What if Meng Yu took the chance to run?
Nevertheless, the forty-nine people who remained were not too worried.
First of all, how would Meng Yu know everyone's position?
Secondly...
"I do hope that fool comes over here."
A Qi Refinement Practitioner sneered coldly.
Unlike the thirty-two people by the teleportation portal, most of the forty-nine here were at the Eighth or Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation. Their skills had been honed to perfection, including about ten practitioners at the Ninth Layer who had no opportunity to advance further due to their age.
They never felt that they were significantly weaker than anyone else at the same level!
Aside from those building the signal tower, thirty-six of them formed the Six-Petal Snowflake Formation. Every six people constituted a Sword Array, which then combined to form an even larger Sword Array.
"Yes, don't look at his ability to defeat those at Foundation Establishment, but the Six-Petal Snowflake Formation..."
Then, in the next moment, he heard the Early Warning Formation's alarm, and amidst the gale, someone charged forward.
It was Meng Yu!
A dazzling sword light flashed by, and amidst the wind and snow, killing intent was sole.
"Block him!"
Someone shouted loudly. The first Six-Petal Snowflake Sword Array, six Cultivators confronted him. The six swords pointed at Meng Yu from different angles as snowflakes covered the sky.
In the next moment, with a clang of swords, Meng Yu blocked three swords while letting the other three slash across his body. The sword-wielding Cultivators rejoiced in their hearts, but felt as if their swords had slashed into slippery fish.
Snap-Backward Eighteen Falls!
As Meng Yu was struck by the swords, his body slightly shook, his True Qi, soft and springy like silk, dispelled most of the force. At the same time, the Triple Sky Silkworm Soft Armor he wore, along with the Vajra Talisman and Amulet, further mitigated much of the attack's force.
He was grateful for the treasures in the Changdong Minor World and the fact that the Death Squad did not attack him immediately, allowing Meng Yu to gather enough spoils of war, whether it was layers of Heavenly Silkworm Soft Armor or various types of protection, making his resources so ample!
While being struck by three swords, Meng Yu swung his sword, and three heads fell to the ground. As the remaining three Qi Refinement Practitioners attempted to retaliate, Meng Yu struck again with his sword.
Wind-Slicing Strike!
Amidst the snowstorm, the sword cleaved through the air!
Two heads fell to the ground, and a hand flew up into the sky!
And Meng Yu's figure disappeared from the people's view like the wind.
"Don't be afraid, we can win!"
The remaining Cultivators tightly grasped their swords, ready for battle. Their hearts were like stone, unfazed by the death of their comrades.
"The distress signal has been sent out, the captain is on his way back, it will take at most one hour!"
Another teammate yelled loudly. At this moment, Meng Yu once again dashed out from the wind and snow.
The sword was like light, and the man like the wind. The various techniques gathered these days in Great Wu had made his combat power even more formidable!
After a brief skirmish, four Qi Refinement Practitioners lay on the ground, two dead and two injured, with the injured having limbs severed. At the same time, Meng Yu had broken through a corner of the Protective Formation, and snow poured in!
Then, he retreated again!
The fiercest attack, the strongest defense, the fastest speed!
"Meng Yu, if you are a man, come out and fight us to the death!"
Someone shouted loudly, then there was only the silence of the desolate plain, and the enemy hidden within the blizzard.
The Flying Boat turned around, and Captain Luo's face was grave.
The communications from that side were more tense and hurried with each passing moment; the forty-nine men over there had already let out cries of despair.
Their combat ability head-on could absolutely take down Meng Yu, but they had encountered attacks like those from a lone wolf!
In the storm, Meng Yu, who carried the Invisibility Talisman, was like a ghost.
These talismans, for a Qi Refinement Practitioner, could be broken by countless methods, whether through Divine Sense or perception, but in this moment of heavy snow, coupled with Meng Yu's ghostly movement technique, it made it difficult for everyone to detect Meng Yu in time.
And this was lethal, because Meng Yu's attacks often came in an instant!
With each strike, he took several lives; clad in Heavy Armor, he wasn't afraid of his defenses being breached, his attacks were sharp, and he was peeling away lives like layers of an onion, over and over.
It was a fair fight, but it was also a very, very unfair fight!
Who could have imagined that one man could don the thickest armor, possess the most agile speed, and excel in the most terrifying attacks!
"Old Luo, we'll meet again in the next life!"
Through the communicator, the despairing voice of the Deputy Captain came, followed by a moment of crackling static.
Captain Luo could imagine what had happened: the end had come for the others, the Deputy Captain had crushed the communicator, ready to stake his life in a final battle with Meng Yu!
"This beast!"
Captain Luo clenched his fists tightly, his eyes seething with blood!
Half an hour later, the Flying Boat returned, to only a scene of devastation.
Forty-nine men, none spared; and naturally, the signal tower had been thoroughly destroyed by Meng Yu.
In the snow, three lines of words were left behind.
"Surrender and you will not be killed!"
"Think about my million, and think about your own orphans!"
"Harmony is precious!"
The flames of war were spreading!
Without the signal tower, Captain Luo began frantically searching for Meng Yu; he still had four hundred and fifty men, if only he could surround Meng Yu, he could win!
But how could that be possible?

This was the battlefield chosen by Meng Yu, a planet ravaged by howling gales and blizzards!
On the third day, a squad was suddenly ambushed, and six members died with their eyes wide open.
On the fifth day, a thirty-man squad encountered Meng Yu; after a short skirmish, more than ten were killed in battle.
On the seventh day, Meng Yu once again broke through the encirclement and vanished without a trace!
He never faced Captain Luo and his men head-on, and he didn't even take the obvious bait, but, his claim, "I can take on a thousand," was spreading wildly throughout the Qingye Minor World.
He said he could take on a thousand!
And indeed, he could take on a thousand!
If a squad of fifty could be eliminated, then twenty more such victories would total a thousand men!
Inside the base, people trembled with fear, constantly expressing their calls for peace and love on the public network, claiming they were just pitiful workers who didn't want to be involved in such sudden incidents, while Captain Luo and his men felt malice from all sides.
Star Chemical had several hundred Qi Refinement Practitioners on this planet, and Captain Luo wanted to rally them to fight against Meng Yu.
Although most of them were First and Second Order Qi Refinement Practitioners, regardless, they were of Innate martial arts caliber, and together with the workers, they could make up sufficient frontline forces, but regrettably, almost everyone expressed their refusal.
