I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 268. Apocalypse
Xia Feng looked up and surveyed his surroundings.

The formation of three thousand soldiers and one thousand half-dragons resembled an ancient behemoth lying prone, creating immense pressure.

In terms of overall physical attributes alone, one half-dragon is equivalent to two soldiers. If the two sides were to engage in a head-on battle, the half-dragon army would have a very difficult time winning.

But the situation is different now.
Inside the blue whale, in a space filled with crimson light, a brief silence fell, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Four thousand against two.

The rat-faced man couldn't imagine how he could lose.

This was a complete stomp.

As he smiled and waved, a chorus of clanging metal and deafening roars erupted from all directions.

"Roar!!!"

The sound was deafening!

The rat-faced man looked up in confusion, only to be met with a terrifying sight that shocked and astonished him.

Each half-dragon plunged its sharp claws into the backs of the two soldiers in front of it, grasping their throbbing hearts, and unleashed a torrent of dragon fire that burned their souls.

Before they could even react, two thousand people were instantly reduced to ashes. The rat-faced man opened his mouth, his eyes glazed over.

"what the hell"

The remaining thousand soldiers reacted quickly and drew their swords to release the spirit garments, but it was too late.

What followed was a one-sided, crushing battle.

In the center of the bloody battlefield, Xia Feng slowly walked towards the rat-faced man.

"Puff-"

Before Xia Feng could say anything, the rat-faced man immediately knelt down, "Boss, don't make a move yet, I still have a use for you, I can control the Blue Whale teleportation channel!"

The rat-faced man's mind was buzzing, filled with doubt. This K-masked man had actually turned and controlled the half-dragon army?!
He was incredibly unlucky to have encountered such an outrageous thing. Although he didn't know how it was done, he decided to save his life first.

Xia Feng was pleased with the rat-faced man's tact, but he didn't linger and let Teacher Fu stay there for the time being.

He and Mu Qingtong led the half-dragon legion to Xize Island.

The Blue Whale can teleport up to 3,000 people at a time, and there is a two-hour cooldown period after each teleport.

If you want to force it to open again, you will need to sacrifice more spiritual materials and lives.

The corpses inside the blue whale's body were quickly devoured by the red light, connecting with the array patterns and bursting forth with great brilliance.

The scene before Xia Feng's eyes changed; the surrounding landscape of corpses scattered everywhere disappeared, leaving only a world bathed in red light.

However, through his senses, he discovered that the location of the magical artifact that could help him advance to A level had been instantly shortened by countless distances.

It's like one of them was in the South Pole and the other in the North Pole, but in the blink of an eye, they ended up living across from each other.

Without delay, Xia Feng led the half-dragon army out of the Blue Whale.

Emerging from the whale's mouth, a scorching, foul odor of sulfur assaulted our senses.

They appeared at the foot of a volcano, directly in front of the hovering blue whale, where more than a thousand soldiers and envoys stared in astonishment at the suddenly appearing half-dragon army and the two masked men in black robes leading them.

"What happened? How were those remnants of the army dealt with so quickly?"

"Wait, who the hell are you two?"

Xia Feng, too lazy to waste words, sent the rat-faced man to his death with a flick of his wrist, then raised his sword and said in a deep voice, "Kill!"

The ground trembled, dragon roars shook the heavens, and the densely packed half-dragons, tireless, threw themselves into battle once more.

"Let's go, Miss Mu, come with me to find something."

Xia Feng glanced at another volcano in the far distance. Based on his senses, the spiritual artifact was in that direction!

Mu Qingtong never really understood what Xia Feng wanted to do, but it didn't matter; she would just stay with him.

"Mmm." She nodded softly.

Nishizawa Island, crater.

Pang Xize frowned as he looked at the person opposite him.

It was a knight covered in bright silver armor, with a silver helmet covering his nose, obscuring his lower face and revealing only a pair of indifferent gray-white eyes. Above that, a holy white X mark was engraved between his eyebrows.

He planted his longsword on the rock, his gray hair tied in a wolf tail that hung down his neck, remaining motionless amidst the flames and fierce winds.

Just moments ago, as Pang Xize was preparing to head to the restricted area, the wolf-tailed knight suddenly arrived on Xize Island.
"Silver October".

Pang Xize narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "What are you Tianqi doing here on my Xize Island?"

The Knights of the Apocalypse, an oversight organization established in the early days of the Empire, possesses supreme law enforcement authority above the eight legions. Its core principle is that "any individual or force that is detrimental to the Empire will become a target of the Apocalypse, and even the eight legions are no exception." They also have immunity from execution.

Yin Shi raised his grey-white eyes slightly, his voice indifferent: "Pang Xize, on behalf of the deputy leader of the Garden Investigation Team, I am raising an inquiry with you."

As the Wolf-Tail Knight finished speaking, Pang Xize's neck stiffened slightly, and his mind went blank. However, he quickly regained his senses after a moment, and his expression remained unchanged.

He pushed up his small glasses on his thick nose and narrowed his eyes: "Lord Yinshi, I am stationed on the northern border for many years, so far away from District 51. Do you really think that the Garden case is related to me?"

“This is an investigation order.”

The Wolf-Tail Knight ignored his question and a piece of gold paper appeared out of thin air in his hand. Dense characters floated into the air, with a holy white X-shaped seal in the center.

"Lord Pang Xize, please cooperate with the investigation."

The tall, stout officer carefully examined the investigation warrant, then looked up at the knight opposite him.

Such high-level investigation orders are only issued when there is conclusive evidence, because spiritual materials are unique and cannot be forged.

Therefore, it can be confirmed that the investigation team has obtained relevant conclusive evidence.

As for where it came from
Pang Xize roughly guessed that the only possibility was that one of the investigation team members who broke into the restricted area was still alive, and that the surviving member had taken the opportunity to transmit relevant information through the spatial passage opened by the Blue Whale to the outside of the restricted area.

He had reviewed the information on the members of the investigation team, and there was only one member with this kind of long-distance information transmission capability: Lin Musen, a fifth-level commander belonging to the Yinlong Legion.

It was precisely because of this special ability that Lin Musen was selected by the investigation team.

Thinking of this, Pang Xize remained calm and nodded with a smile: "Alright, let's start asking."

Yin Shi didn't say much. The pointer of the silver-gray compass, about the size of a palm, spun and made a crisp ticking sound. At the same time, a silver stream of light shot into Pang Xize's brow.

"Pang Xize, were the 100,000 troops who guarded Baidi City thirty years ago rebels?"

"No."

"Pang Xize, from thirty years ago until now, have you been sending troops disguised as the Evil Clan to attack Baidi City?"

"Yes."

Surprisingly, Pang Xize admitted to it.

It is important to understand that, under the witness and record of the compass, all words will become conclusive evidence with legal effect.

After a pause, Yin Shi continued, "..."
"Pang Xize, from thirty years ago to now, have you used the souls of 100,000 soldiers to create the 'Stone of Hope for Life'?"

"Yes."

"Pang Xize, are you the mastermind behind the Garden case?"

"Yes."

"Pang Xize, are you the mastermind behind the Baidi City injustice?"

"Yes."

Wolf Tail Knight asked several more questions, which Ponce answered one by one.

"it is good."

Not long after, the Wolf Tail Knight closed the compass that recorded the images, looked up and said in a low voice, "Lord Ponciz, thank you for your cooperation."

As he finished speaking, the surrounding barrier dissipated, and a bald officer outside, anxious and impatient, rushed in.

"My lord! Something has happened!"

"Two Tier 3 black-robed figures have fought their way in from the No. 1 volcano defense line and have now reached the No. 8 volcano crater!"

"?" Pang Xize was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly darkening. "Third tier? Are your men eating shit? You let two third tiers break through the defenses?"

"Sir," the bald officer cautiously raised his eyes and said, "almost all the troops on the island have been sent."

As he spoke, he realized the Wolf-Tailed Knight was nearby, and paused, then added,

"Now the island has only two thousand troops left, most of whom are fighting against the rioting half-dragon army on the No. 1 defense line."

"A half-dragon riot?" Pang Xize was stunned again, veins bulging on his forehead. "What's going on now?"

"I don't know either."

"."

Pang Xize felt a headache coming on. He turned around, frowned, and looked into the distance. He could vaguely see two figures rushing toward him from a distant crater.

Lately, everything has been going wrong, and problems keep popping up. It feels like all the bad luck in my life has happened in these two months.

A moment of silence.

"Heh~ whatever."

Thinking of something, he quickly calmed down, after all, things couldn't get any worse.

Now, whether it's the garden or the affairs of Baidi City, someone needs to take the blame.

In order to bring the investigation to a close, he knew he had to take the blame himself.

After taking the blame, the Lord will find a way to spare him from the death penalty. At most, he will be imprisoned for life. After a few years of maneuvering, he can be imprisoned for only two or three hundred years, and finally exiled to the Gray World.

As promised by the Lord, he will be given the key spiritual materials to advance to the Venerable level upon his release from prison, and then he will be assigned to a position in the secret organization that the Lord is cultivating in the Gray Realm.

It's a pretty good development path, at least the Gray Realm is more free than the Empire.

However, there are a few things that need to be done before going to jail.

First, naturally, is to resolve the problem of the evil power on E'ji. After resolving this problem, even if he goes to prison, he will have E'ji by his side every day. He can even marry E'ji in prison, have children, have children, have children every day, and live a wonderful life without having to cultivate or fight.

Thinking about this, Pang Xize couldn't help but feel hopeful.

After all, ever since he saw the spirit artifact in its human form, he knew he had found the love of his life! It was love at first sight.
As for the second matter, it is naturally to get rid of Xia Feng. Since we have already made enemies with this genius youth, we must find a way to kill him.

Otherwise, given the growth rate of such a prodigy, he could very well become a Venerable One in three hundred years.

Even if he gets out of prison three hundred years later, it will be no different from courting death.

However, there's no need to worry too much. The master will probably send someone to deal with that kid surnamed Xia.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Pang Xize turned to look at the Wolf Tail Knight, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Lord Silver Ten, before arresting me, could you allow me to take care of some personal matters first?"

The Wolf-Tail Knight said calmly, without expression, "Go ahead, but you only have half an hour."

“That’s enough.” Pang Xize nodded with a smile.

Just then, a hundred people landed on the crater from afar and knelt respectfully on one knee before Pang Xize: "Great Traveler."

This is the first envoy squad trained by Pang Xize. It is the strongest squad after careful selection and rigorous training, and ten of them possess spiritual weapons, forming an even more powerful spiritual weapon squad.

The ten magical artifacts worked together seamlessly and in perfect harmony. Under certain circumstances, their combined effect could even severely injure a True Martial Realm expert, making them extremely powerful.

"Wu Mo".

"Here." A bald man from the spirit weapon team stood at attention and stepped forward.

"Go and deal with those two men in black robes. Do it quickly."

After giving a casual instruction, Pang Xize headed toward the center of the crater.

Wu Mo nodded calmly and led the members of the spirit weapon team to turn around and speed down the mountain.

Sensing the tall, stout officer approaching the outer edge of the Eergy Field, the mare with her languid blonde hair cascading over her shoulders and neck slowly opened her beautiful eyes.
