I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

He pressed his hands down in the air, and a barrier appeared under the Tyrant's feet. The Tyrant initially thought he was just defending, and he had been doing the same thing all along, not attacking once since the start of the fight. So the Tyrant came to the conclusion that Li Hao had no means of attack.

But is this really the case?

Reality has proven this point well.

As the tyrant landed at incredible speed, the square, crystal-blue barrier suddenly changed shape, instantly transforming into a massive cone with its tip pointing directly at the tyrant's chest. The enormous body then passed right through it and crashed to the ground...

A huge, bloody hole appeared in the tyrant's chest, from which blood gushed out, and severed blood vessels and veins could be vaguely seen, making it look particularly ferocious and terrifying.

Lightning crackled from Yan Ziming's soles as he landed steadily on the ground. He was utterly shocked as he looked at the bloody holes in the tyrant's body.

"Why did that happen just now..." Yan Ziming looked towards the city wall, where the red ray had come from. She saw Ye Qianxue waving at her while holding up the Crimson Flame.

"What the heck... Qianxue actually saved me..." Yan Ziming was annoyed. What he had just casually mentioned on the way had actually come true.

"Although I'm very unwilling... what's with this warm feeling in my heart?"

Yan Ziming clutched her chest, her heart pounding uncontrollably, not from the intense battle, but from a peculiar feeling that made her itch with desire.

This was the first time she had ever been saved by Ye Qianxue, whose strength was always inferior to hers. This novel experience made her heart flutter and pound wildly.

Is this what it feels like to be protected by your own younger sister...?

However, time did not give her a chance to think about these feelings. The tyrant was so badly injured that he naturally wanted to do everything he could to give that tyrant a good beating!

He gave Ye Qianxue a look, and Ye Qianxue, who was in sync with Yan Ziming, nodded and made a gesture as if to wrap herself up.

In this way, Yan Zimo launched another campaign of slaughter against the tyrants.

Chapter 154 The Tragedy of the Giants

...Command Headquarters

"So, any news from Death's side?"

Yan Shan picked up the walkie-talkie and asked nervously. This external variable was of paramount importance to the changing situation of the battle, and Yan Shan paid close attention to all its movements.

After a while, Huang Tao's hesitant voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie:

"woke up."

Yan Shan's expression changed drastically, and his pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints.

—The worst is yet to come!

"Don't rush... let me finish," Huang Tao continued.

"Death was indeed awakened by the sounds of battle, but it didn't move."

"Didn't move? What does that mean?"

Yan Shan was confused. This monster had slaughtered the entire Yongjing Military Administrative Region just a few days ago. Now that it had woken up, why hadn't it made any moves?

"It means exactly what it says. After it woke up, it just stayed there and didn't move, as if it didn't intend to get involved in our battle."

Huang Tao looked again and again, and after confirming that Death wouldn't make any moves, he shared his opinion:

"I think it's wary of something."

"Are you sure?!" Yan Shan quickly pressed, what was there to be afraid of about the most powerful person in the entire arena?

"determine."

Huang Tao was so certain for a reason: the moment Death awoke, it immediately spotted Huang Tao, who was monitoring it from ten kilometers away.

Generally speaking, it would be considered a serious provocation for an ordinary creature to come within 20 kilometers of a sequence-level species, but Death only glanced at him indifferently and ignored him, which made Huang Tao somewhat annoyed.

If it weren't for the ongoing war outside and his need to consider the bigger picture, Huang Tao would have gone straight for it and attacked it, even if it meant his death, just because of its blatant disregard for him!

In his anger, Huang Tao also considered a possibility and asked:

"Do you think... it might be because of that person in heaven?"

The one in the sky refers to the person behind the formation of this typhoon, who may have reached the highest level of human power and possess Soul Heaven-level combat strength.

In fact, Huang Tao could already feel the pressure that person was exerting on him. Those who had reached the ninth level or above could probably feel a sense of oppression throughout the Yongjing Military Administrative District, as if the Sword of Damocles was hanging over their heads.

Upon hearing this, Yan Shan's expression changed again, and he said with a wry smile:

"I don't know either. I just hope that Death is afraid of his existence and dares not make any rash moves."

"However, the battle must still be fought, regardless of whether Death will take any action. Unless it leaves the Yongjing Military Administrative Zone, we will inevitably have a fight to the death with it!"

"That's right."

Huang Tao nodded, agreeing with Yan Shan's statement. Although the powerful figure suspected to be at the Soul Heaven Realm had a deterrent effect, it was an undeniable fact that the Grim Reaper was still on human territory. As long as it remained, the battle could not be considered a true success.

Moreover, they also have to give an explanation to the dead. Death and they have already formed a significant karmic bond. Even if they don't settle the score now, they will definitely have some interaction with it in the future, and it will be a fight to the death.

"How's it going on the battlefield?"

"Yes, as I initially thought, we've gotten into a tug-of-war."

The situation on the battlefield is currently unclear. If one had to say, the human side has the upper hand. The Sandstone Dragon is dead, and the remaining SS-class mutated species have been tied down. It seems that it is only a matter of time before they are completely wiped out, provided that nothing unexpected happens.

"Has Longteng been delivered yet?" Huang Tao asked.

"Not yet, it's still in expedited shipping."

Huang Tao sighed: "Do you think this thing will be delivered before the war ends? We shouldn't waste the combat power of two eighth-tier fighters!"

"You ask me what other options there are? This was personally requested by His Excellency the Chairman. If this thing can be delivered in time, it will be a huge boost to our morale."

Yan Shan had no choice but to agree to their request, given the recommendation of the national leader and that person.

"Then I look forward to Longteng shining brightly."

......

Yan Ziming used his Lightning Blade to slash a gash in the Tyrant's leg while dodging its attacks. They had been locked in a stalemate for quite some time. The beast tide was only two or three kilometers away, and the shockwaves from the artillery fire had already reached Yan Ziming's feet. They had very little time left to deal with the Tyrant.

"Fang Yan, get ready! Hide behind Li Hao!"

Yan Ziming let out a delicate shout, and the Thunder Domain erupted, as if a thunder god had descended to earth. The blinding lightning illuminated half of the dark battlefield, and her combat power instantly soared to a terrifying level. The Tyrant suddenly felt immense pressure. Lightning struck its body, exploding into clusters of blood flowers. It was excruciatingly painful, especially when it struck the penetrating wound in its chest, causing its entire body to twitch.

She clashed with it again, and Yan Ziming was forced back dozens of meters. Red light flashed from her fingertips, and she could unleash Radiant Mortal World again. This time, she intended to kill the tyrant and give it no chance to struggle.

"Whoever chickens out is a coward, come on, you big idiot!" Yan Ziming shouted, gripping the Thunder Cutter and continuing to slash.

Thunder Domain is indeed a powerful skill, but its energy consumption is also extremely terrifying. Every second it is activated consumes a massive amount of energy. Her current energy is not enough to supply her output, and her body is silently groaning. She cannot last much longer.

While defending, Li Hao led Fang Yan out of the Thunder Domain's coverage area. Then, a figure quietly appeared behind him, without even Fang Yan noticing.

The Tyrant charged forward, forcing Yan Ziming to retreat with a single punch. The Thunder God's Whip reappeared, its destructive power increased by more than half. Each strike on the Tyrant unleashed energy that forced it back a small step. Endless lightning exploded, causing blood to rain down on the Tyrant, which was then evaporated and sublimated, mingling with the water mist in the air, making the already blurry vision even more obscured.

Suddenly, scorching energy appeared ahead. The Tyrant had been on guard against this move. Its reaction speed had saved it more than once, and this time was no different. It dodged the attack and, with its momentum undiminished, slashed down in the direction from which the red light had shot out. The earth sank and cracked, but it did not feel like it had hit the target.

"Eat shit!" Yan Ziming appeared from its left, lightning crackling across the sky from the Thunder Cutter. The Tyrant instantly accelerated, arriving in front of Yan Ziming in the blink of an eye. Then it suddenly jumped down, not for any particular reason, but because another crystal blue cone had appeared in front of it. If it crashed into it like before, it would really die.

"It's not over yet, Fang Yan!"

"I'm coming!"

Fang Yan's eyes blazed with white light, and a shockwave burst forth around him. The white light seemed to ignore the distance and penetrated the tyrant's mind, causing its thoughts, vision, and even its control over its body to momentarily "malfunction."

Yan Ziming seized the opportunity, absorbing the entire Thunder Domain into the Thunder Cutter, and unleashed a thunderous beam even more magnificent than the one he had missed with before. The moment it was unleashed, the Tyrant's body was marked with bloodstains due to the sharpness of the Thunder Cutter's blade. It instantly recovered from its malfunction, having paid the price of an arm to dodge the attack.

—Now you're out of options, aren't you?

The tyrant roared, already aware that Yan Ziming would fall into a brief period of weakness after each powerful attack. It grabbed the arm that had once belonged to it and threw it, breaking through the sound barrier. The arm shattered upon impact with the crystal-blue barrier in front of Yan Ziming, its flesh and blood covering the light barrier and obscuring Yan Ziming's vision.

The sound of wind breaking came from above. The Tyrant seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack from above. It decided that if this attack failed, it would run away and stop fighting these guys.

Yan Ziming on the ground looked terrified, seemingly caught off guard by the tyrant's decisiveness, and stood frozen in place for a moment... Just kidding!

She raised her right hand, and a strange, tubular metal object was aimed at the Tyrant. An orange obsidian crystal shone brightly in the energy bar, followed by a red ray no weaker than the Radiant Red Dust. The Tyrant dodged, and its mind went blank for a moment, but it quickly regained its senses, glared at Fang Yan, and turned to run in the opposite direction of the beast tide!

However, it discovered that Yan Ziming, who had been left behind, had somehow blocked its path, raising the Thunder Cutter in a pose that looked full of holes to others, preparing to intercept it.

Go to hell!

The tyrant roars, and any enemy that stands in its way will be reduced to ashes!

But... it was the one that died.

A crimson light struck its back, instantly dissolving half of its body into blood. Before dying, it looked back and saw that the one who had delivered the blow was none other than Yan Zimo, who should have been standing in front of it.

That...

It turned back again, and "Yan Zimo" wielding the Thunder Cutter still blocked its way. The Tyrant never knew until its death why there were two Yan Zimo, and... why it died at the hands of a mere seventh-tier human.

Chapter 155 Sticky Candy

The tyrant is dead.

The over fifty-meter-long corpse knelt on the battlefield, as if apologizing to the dead, and at the same time intimidated the mutated species behind it, causing their momentum to falter and their figures to be obscured by endless artillery fire.

Fearing it might rise from the dead, Yan Ziming used his crimson flames to melt its entire head before finally relaxing. He then walked up to Ye Qianxue and pinched her cheek.

"Idiot, hurry up and stop that pose! Do you really think it's cool? It's so embarrassing!" Yan Ziming scolded her impatiently. Ye Qianxue's knife-holding posture looked like she was performing acrobatics, and it was hilarious no matter how you looked at it.

Ye Qianxue reluctantly handed the Thunder Cutter to Yan Ziming, but she was surprised that her sister scolded her for her rather cool pose, which made her a little disappointed.

"Well... the coordination was quite beautiful." Seeing Ye Qianxue's aggrieved and resentful expression, Yan Ziming praised her again, though not being entirely honest. Ye Qianxue immediately smiled. For her, a word of praise from her older sister was the greatest encouragement.
