128: Chapter 128 The Crimson Lotus Descends! Annihilation of the Enemy Army!

The Crimson Lotus World-Purifying Curse was a combat technique that pushed Li Mo's Primal World-Purifying Thunder and Candle Dragon Flame to their absolute limits, and it was also an area-of-effect attack.

Its coverage reached a radius of roughly twenty kilometers, meaning almost the entire central area of the valley was within the range of the Crimson Lotus World-Purifying Curse.

This was the reason Li Mo had told everyone not to go down and engage in close-quarters combat; it was to prevent accidental injury.

One could see a massive red lotus blooming in the fiery sky, carrying the violent power of both thunder and fire as it descended rapidly.

The soldiers of the Black Earth Tribe were dumbfounded, watching the scene; how were they supposed to dodge an attack like that?

There was simply no dodging it!

Moreover, with the mountain passes at both ends of the valley guarded, they had absolutely no chance of escape!

Following a thunderous roar, the screams that had previously filled the plains below vanished, and the entire world became silent.

The Crimson Lotus purifies the world, destroying everything!

After the smoke cleared, not only were the people gone, but all the vegetation on the ground had also vanished instantly. There was even a bottomless pit in the ground, all created by the bombardment of Li Mo's Crimson Lotus World-Purifying Curse!

Those beside Li Mo were stunned; they hadn't expected him to have such a move up his sleeve.

"Boss, you actually have a skill like this?"

"This... this is too terrifying! If we had known, why would we even need heavy weapons? Isn't this much more effective than a crystal core cluster bomb?"

"Damn! The power is astonishing!"

Everyone exclaimed in amazement. In truth, it wasn't that Li Mo had been holding back; the reason he hadn't used the Crimson Lotus World-Purifying Curse before was very simple.

The destructive power of this move was indeed immense. Especially on the battlefield, it could instantly annihilate a large number of enemy troops. Saying it could take on a hundred was an understatement; taking on ten thousand was perfectly normal.

However, as an SSS-rank combat technique, it consumed a massive amount of life force.

Since entering the battlefield, Li Mo had hardly consumed any life force. He had been commanding, and the few times he did join the fighting, it was a complete steamroll. In other words, before using the Crimson Lotus World-Purifying Curse, he was at full capacity.

But just now, using the Crimson Lotus World-Purifying Curse, Li Mo could feel that he had expended at least half of his life force. At this moment, sweat was beading on his forehead, and he felt a wave of exhaustion.

Li Mo immediately sat down cross-legged, using meditation to quickly recover his life force. At the same time, he said to everyone: "Stop flattering me. Quickly take people to check the battlefield below and see if there are any survivors. If everything is clear, we must hurry to reinforce Wu Yuqing!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, Baal did not yet know that the five thousand soldiers he had brought had been completely annihilated by the Vanguard Battalion, and that the Vanguard Battalion's casualties were zero!

If the commander, Morpheus, were to find out, he would surely be unable to avoid severe punishment.

In fact, the commotion in the valley had caught Baal's attention. After all, with the roar of the cannons and the combat technique of the Crimson Lotus World-Purifying Curse that could even change the weather, he would have to be completely blind not to notice.

However, his attention was currently focused entirely on Wu Yuqing.

To be honest, if one were to compare base attributes alone, Baal was far stronger than Wu Yuqing, as there was a gap of an entire major realm between them.

Even if Wu Yuqing's attacks could break through Baal's defense, his formidable life force meant she couldn't kill him easily.

Conversely, if Baal landed a single punch on Wu Yuqing, she would either be killed or severely injured.

But what puzzled Baal was that no matter how many punches he threw after lunging at Wu Yuqing, it was as if she had predicted them beforehand; he couldn't land a single hit!

For a brute-force type like Baal, this was undoubtedly infuriating!

"Damn it! Do you dare to face me head-on?"

Baal, who had been unable to hit Wu Yuqing, had already lost his composure.

He had actually said such a thing as "face me head-on" to Wu Yuqing; in other words, he was telling her not to dodge!

This was a life-and-death duel!

Such childish words were actually spoken by Baal, an officer at the Major General level.

Wu Yuqing, who was also a martial arts fanatic, didn't buy into that. For Wu Yuqing, while she craved battle, she also acknowledged any means that could win a fight, including those that weren't exactly glorious!

Although Wu Yuqing's swordsmanship was strong, that didn't mean it was all she had. The fact that she had managed to hold out for so long against the Dark Ruins, which she couldn't kill, showed that she had other methods.

And this method was a technique created by Sword God Wu Bai, called Sword Heart Clarity.

Its specific function was to use formless sword qi that pierced through the body to sense the enemy's attack method, thereby predicting the enemy's movement trajectory and techniques.

For an opponent like Baal who relied on brute force, Sword Heart Clarity was extremely effective. Baal only had the simplest fist and foot techniques, relying on overwhelming power, but it was useless if he could only hit the air.

The foundation of the Martial God Family was truly astonishing. Once Wu Yuqing ascended to the rank of Martial God, there was no doubt she would inherit the title of Sword God from Sword Saint Wu Bai.

However, at this moment, a sudden remark from Baal caused Wu Yuqing to lose her focus.

"Actually, your main force didn't come at all, right?"

Wu Yuqing was stunned for a moment, completely unaware of why Baal would say such a thing.

In reality, Baal wasn't completely brainless. To be able to sit in the position of a division commander, he certainly possessed some intelligence.

At the very least, while confronting Wu Yuqing, he had been observing the surroundings.

He hadn't forgotten the mission he received from Morpheus: to confirm whether the main force of the Great Xia was in the vicinity.

Even if an army of hundreds of thousands was hidden well, there should still be some signs of activity. Yet, there wasn't a soul to be seen nearby, which was enough to prove that the main force of the Great Xia was not in the area.

The reason Wu Yuqing panicked was that her mission was to pin down Baal. Now that Baal had guessed that the main force of the Great Xia hadn't come, if he chose to flee, Wu Yuqing would definitely not be able to stop him.

Even Li Mo wouldn't be confident in being able to hold him back!

This guy was thick-skinned and tough, practically an unkillable "cockroach"; it would be too easy for him to escape.

Wu Yuqing's inner panic quickly had an effect; Baal suddenly appeared right in front of her, and she didn't react in time.

That fist, like a heavy cannon, struck toward Wu Yuqing's face. She hurriedly raised her sword to block. Fortunately, she blocked it just in time, preventing Baal from smashing directly into her face, but the impact still sent her flying dozens of meters away, and the force of the punch left her limbs numb.

Just then, someone suddenly appeared behind her and caught her retreating body. It was Li Mo, who had already dealt with the five thousand enemy soldiers of the Black Earth Tribe.

Then, countless Vanguard Battalion soldiers appeared like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

They quickly assembled into formation and then surrounded Baal, leaving him all alone!

When Baal arrived, he was full of confidence with his troops, but now he was essentially a lone wolf.

Facing such a scene, Baal's pupils dilated, and he was shocked beyond measure.

"Where are my troops?"
