Chapter 5023

At the woman’s command, more than a dozen black-armored female soldiers instantly formed a battle formation.

The spears in their hands turned into streaks of cold light, surrounding Hu Mazi from all sides.

Their coordination was impeccable—wherever their spears pointed, they wove an impenetrable net of spiritual power in the air.

“Oh my, you ladies are ruthless!” Hu Mazi cried out, dodging frantically among the shadows of the spear tips, while frantically tossing out talismans.

But as soon as those talismans touched the black-armored soldiers, they vanished without a trace.

His expression changed. “Forbidden magic armor of the Protoss?”

Before he could finish the thought, a spear sliced through his sleeve, leaving a bloody gash on his arm.

Wincing in pain, Hu Mazi quickly pinched his fingers together, summoning a talisman that radiated a brilliant golden light.

But the female soldiers merely narrowed their eyes slightly, their assault undeterred.

As the danger closed in, Hu Mazi finally yelled at the top of his lungs, “Kai! Are you just going to stand there and watch?!”

“Master Hu, I gave you a chance to show off,” Kai laughed. “Too bad you blew it!”

“Cut the nonsense and help me, or I’m going to die!” Hu Mazi roared.

Kai and Mo Qingyun exchanged a glance—then attacked in unison.

The Dragon Slaying Sword turned into a blood-red arc, instantly slicing through the spear tips of three female soldiers.

Meanwhile, Mo Qingyun formed a series of hand seals, and dozens of black vines erupted from the ground, wrapping tightly around the ankles of several more soldiers.

Seeing this, the golden-helmeted woman’s eyes suddenly glinted coldly. “Lowly humans dare defy the divine?”

Her sword flared with a brilliant white light, releasing a burst of sharp sword energy that slashed through all the black vines with ease.

“Kill!” someone from the Cangxuan Continent shouted, rallying the others.

Tens of thousands of cultivators surged forward like a tidal wave—finally choosing to fight instead of wait for death.

With Kai and Mo Qingyun joining the fray, the female soldiers began to falter. Now, with the mass of Cangxuan monks joining in, they were quickly overwhelmed and subdued one after another.

But just then, the black-armored female soldiers who had been restrained suddenly shouted in unison, “The glory of the Gods cannot be desecrated!”

The armor on their bodies suddenly flared with a blinding red light, and the spiritual power within them began to surge chaotically in reverse.

“Not good! Fall back, now!”

Kai’s pupils contracted sharply as the Dragon Slaying Sword swept forward, forming a blood-red barrier before him.

In the next instant, a series of deafening explosions erupted, and over a dozen blinding white flashes burst within the crowd.

A violent storm of spiritual energy swept across a hundred-foot radius, instantly reducing hundreds of monks at the front lines to blood mist.

As the dust settled, more than a dozen craters—each over a hundred feet wide—scarred the battlefield.

“Oh, what a waste of beautiful girls. They all blew themselves up before I could even enjoy their company!”

“Why go to such extremes? Better a miserable life than a glorious death,” Hu Mazi said mournfully.

The cultivators of Cangxuan Continent were equally stunned.

The gods were always arrogant, but no one expected their women to be this determined—unyielding to the end. Their resolve was terrifying.

At that moment, Master Huo’s face turned red and pale in quick succession—he was humiliated.

He too was a god, a prince of the Eighth Palace, yet he feared death.

He carried only the pride of the gods, without their courage.

The woman stared at the severed limbs and mangled bodies around her, her eyes icy as she declared, “Did you see that? We gods will never be defiled!”

She slowly discarded her sword, and her white armor began to emit a golden glow. “With my soul, I offer tribute to—”

“Damn it, this woman’s going to self-destruct!” Hu Mazi cried out in alarm.

“Stop!”

Kai shouted abruptly, and the source of time within his body surged outward, instantly freezing time in the area.

The exploding energy within the woman was halted in an instant. She struggled fiercely, her golden helmet falling off to reveal a striking and defiant face.

“Let me go! You low—”

Pah!

Kai stepped forward and slapped her across the face.
