Chapter 146 Promotion in Military Rank
As the mysterious and dazzling orb of light drew closer, Ye Chuxue felt an incomparably terrifying power rushing towards her, as if it were about to devour her entirely.
However, at this moment she had nowhere to hide. Faced with such a powerful threat, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and bravely step forward.
At this critical moment, suddenly, an enormous claw shot out from the high clouds.
The claw, as heavy as a mountain, covered the sky and the sun, and with lightning speed, it firmly grasped the ball of light containing terrifying energy.
"Bang!" With a deafening roar, the ball of light was instantly crushed by the giant claw.
In an instant, light shone everywhere, smoke billowed, and a powerful shockwave swept out in all directions.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, people were astonished to find a roc, its entire body shimmering with brilliant golden light, flapping its wings and flying down from the thick clouds.
This roc was enormous, with wingspans reaching several meters, and its feathers shone as if cast in gold.
On the broad back of the roc stood a middle-aged man.
The man was tall and imposing, with a resolute and cold face, exuding a chilling aura of power.
The pressure was so strong that it even surpassed that of everyone present, and it seemed to have reached the legendary realm of divine soul.
The visitor was none other than the renowned Commander Zhao.
It turned out that Zhao Shuai was personally guarding the northern region of the Great Xia Kingdom at that time to prevent foreign invasion.
Upon learning of the emergency, he immediately dropped everything and rushed to provide assistance.
At this moment, the once arrogant and domineering alligator snapping turtle finally noticed this amazing scene in the sky.
It was suddenly startled and panicked. Then, the alligator snapping turtle raised its head and let out a deafening roar, as if sending some kind of signal to the other beasts.
Upon receiving the order, the numerous strange beasts turned around and fled in panic.
"Hmph, now that you're here, don't even think about escaping so easily!" Zhao Shuai sneered, his hands quickly forming a series of complex and profound hand seals.
Immediately afterwards, several dazzling golden rays appeared out of thin air, intertwining and entwining with each other in the air, eventually forming a dense net of light, like a giant fishing net descending from the sky, covering the fleeing beasts in an overwhelming manner.
Seeing this, the alligator snapping turtle opened its blood-red maw and suddenly spewed out a dazzling white light, like a roaring white dragon, straight towards the golden net of light.
The moment the white light and the light net came into contact, they instantly erupted into a dazzling burst of sparks and a deafening roar. The two intertwined and collided, constantly eroding each other's power.
Just then, Zhao Shuai flashed down from the broad back of the roc like a bolt of lightning.
After he landed steadily, his cold and piercing eyes quickly swept over the many strange beasts present, as if they could freeze their souls.
His face was ashen, and he coldly said, "You started this war, do you really think you can get away unscathed? That's just wishful thinking!"
Before the words were finished, the giant net, which was already radiating dazzling golden light, suddenly became even more dazzling, like a golden sun descending from the sky, carrying unparalleled pressure, and slowly crushing down towards the ground.
The alligator snapping turtle knew that things were likely to end badly, but it still gritted its teeth and roared defiantly, "You despicable humans! Don't push your luck! Do you really think we beasts are just lambs to the slaughter?"
Faced with the alligator snapping turtle's angry rebuke, Zhao Shuai merely responded with a disdainful sneer: "Hmph! So what? Even if you possess extraordinary abilities, you won't escape from here today!"
"You guys go first, I'll stay here and buy you some time!" The alligator turtle turned and shouted to the other legendary beasts beside it.
“My lord, this will not do…” one of the strange beasts looked troubled and tried to dissuade the alligator snapping turtle.
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!" the alligator snapping turtle shouted, interrupting the other's words.
Upon hearing the alligator snapping turtle's command, the other beasts, though unwilling, turned and began to retreat.
At the same time, the thick shell of the alligator snapping turtle suddenly emitted a faint, cold blue light, like a cold star twinkling in the deep night sky, exuding a chilling aura.
Clearly, it was doing its utmost to mobilize its power in an attempt to resist the ever-deepening golden net of light.
Seeing this, Zhao Shuai's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He quickly formed hand seals and continuously poured powerful spiritual energy into the light net.
As his spiritual power continued to increase, the speed at which the net of light fell also increased, and its power became even more terrifying.
However, the alligator snapping turtle did not give in easily. It raised its head to the sky and let out a deafening roar.
Immediately afterwards, an incredibly thick blue beam of light shot out from its tortoise shell, piercing straight into the sky.
The energy contained in this beam of light was terrifying; the surrounding space seemed to be slightly distorted and deformed because it could not withstand this enormous pressure.
The blue beam of light, like a nimble dragon, pierced straight through the incredibly sturdy golden net with overwhelming force.
It collided violently with the golden net, producing a screeching sound, as if two giant beasts were engaged in a life-or-death struggle.
Each impact sparked dazzling flames, and the golden net gradually became fragile under this continuous erosion.
Finally, with a dazzling flash of light, the golden net and the blue beam of light vanished without a trace.
At the same time, the once ferocious alligator snapping turtle also vanished without a trace, as if it had evaporated into thin air.
"Did we just let it escape like that?" Zhao Shuai frowned, staring at the remaining traces on the ground, muttering to himself.
He clenched his fists in frustration, secretly vowing to capture the alligator snapping turtle again.
A moment later, Zhao Shuai slowly landed on the ground. Almost at the same time, Song Xinglan and the others also landed lightly on the ground like birds.
They quickly gathered around, their faces full of concern.
"Commander Zhao, what's the situation now?" Song Xinglan asked first, her tone revealing a hint of anxiety.
Zhao Shuai took a deep breath, composed himself, and replied, "Unfortunately, that guy escaped in the chaos."
However, I could sense that its aura had become intermittent and extremely weak, suggesting that it had suffered considerable injuries.
"As long as we continue our investigation, we will definitely be able to find its whereabouts!" After saying that, he turned to look at the huge python corpse not far away, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
However, at this very moment, on the other side of the battlefield, Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue were quietly hiding behind a boulder.
The military rank insignia on Ye Chuxue's chest shimmered with a strange light and began to slowly change.
Initially, her rank gradually increased from two stars to three, and then continued to rise until it finally settled at seven stars. This sudden change surprised the two women, but they dared not make a sound, for fear of attracting the attention of others.
