Chapter 233 Light Blade
"What?" Zou Ping's heart skipped a beat, as if he had a premonition of something. He turned around abruptly and looked up, finally realizing where Su Xunren, whom they couldn't find, was.

High above, in the dim sky, a brilliant white light was shining!

In a short while, the white light unfolded, forming an extremely terrifying blade of light. The blade of light stretched across the sky, gently descending and pointing towards the hill below that already looked somewhat insignificant.

Zou Ping and the others had forgotten about escaping and stood there blankly.

He suddenly recalled the shock he felt when he first saw a high-level alien species. It was a relatively powerful fourth-tier alien species, over a hundred meters tall, which was blasted to death by the legion's cannons when it stepped out of the secret realm.

He once wondered how humanity could defeat those giant beasts that were hundreds of meters tall without these cannons and these advanced weapons.

And now, the answer has been presented to him.

The silver hill struggled and howled even more fiercely, and Zou Ping could even hear a hint of pleading in its cries, but the blade of light showed no hesitation or pity whatsoever.

There was no earth-shattering slash, nor any fancy movements; it simply pressed down from the sky.

Like a knife piercing tofu, what kind of resistance can the tofu offer? Thus, even such a simple action, when magnified to the scale of heaven and earth, acquires a certain unstoppable power.

The silver hill was shattered in an instant, losing its ability to resist almost immediately. Zou Ping even saw a kind of dying convulsion on its body.

The blade of light continued its trajectory, plunging deep into the earth. To everyone present, it appeared as a long river flowing from the sky into the earth.

From the moment that silver hill appeared on the battlefield until now, when everything has almost settled, it has only been a blink of an eye, but Zou Ping feels that it has been longer than half a lifetime. He feels that his past understanding is collapsing.

The grand competition had only just ended, yet even those high-level superhumans who shone brightly on the stage were far from bringing Zou Ping such a shock. At this moment, he seemed to suddenly realize that true superhuman abilities could reach such a level, and that a person's body could contain such terrifying power.

He swallowed hard, then moved towards the battlefield that was now unrecognizable.

"Hey, Brother Zou, where are you going? It's dangerous over there!"

"What's so dangerous about it..."

Zou Ping shook his head; clearly, the battle over there was basically over.

He now fully understands that trying to take advantage of loopholes on this battlefield, in front of the commander-in-chief who has reached a completely different level, is actually meaningless. It would be better to explain the situation, adopt a proper attitude, and ask for the other party's forgiveness.

Or they may accept the punishment they deserve.

But would someone who wields such power really hold a grudge against him?
For Zouping, these are still unknowns.

This place was indeed no longer dangerous. In a short while, he returned to the foot of the small mountain once again. The silver hill that he had once thought was almost unreachable was now split in two and looked like a small hill. The silver glow that had once shone on the mountain had also dimmed.

A narrow fissure appeared in the middle of the mountain, leading straight into the ground. Hot lava flowed in the fissure, and remnants of white light still flickered deep within it. Standing so close, even just a glance made Zou Ping feel as if he had been pierced through.

Behind them, Zou Ping's two teammates, surnamed Liu and Gao, caught up again. They exchanged glances but didn't say anything.

Before they could even find Su Xun, a new situation arose. "Bang!"

A figure flew out from underground and landed not far from the group, startling them.

It was a humanoid figure made entirely of silver metal. The silver light on its body was even purer than the sculptures they had seen before. However, it was only in the initial human form, without facial features or limb details. It was like the rough draft of a sculpture. It seemed to be able to move, causing Zou Ping and the others to take a half step back.

"Don't worry."

A young voice rang out; they were all familiar with it, and it instantly put them at ease.

Su Xun appeared in their sight with an air of ease, as if he had not experienced any battle at all. Instead, he seemed to have just finished a post-meal stroll, full of energy, and even had a smile in his eyes when he saw Zou Ping and the others.

"Commander-in-Chief..."

Zou Ping dared not look him in the eye, keeping his head down, unsure of what to say.

"Hmm." Su Xun responded simply, as if he were just greeting them, without mentioning the rocket incident at all.

Zou Ping opened his mouth, about to speak, but saw that Su Xun had already turned to the silver humanoid figure that was still slumped on the ground.

While Su Xun was fighting the spirit of the mine, he had actually noticed the arrival of their group long before.

However, he didn't take it to heart at the time. He knew they might have encountered danger, but it was normal to encounter anything outside the safe zone. He thought he could contact them again after the battle was over, but to be honest, he didn't expect that these people would fire a rocket at him.

There was a sense of awe, like hearing about the subcontinent's military intervention in the Sun-Chasing Office before a cataclysmic event.

However, Zou Ping and his group were clearly not guilty of such a crime. After thinking about it for a moment, they realized that the other party probably did not recognize them at all.

One can only say that their courage is commendable, but their ability is still insufficient.

If he were hit head-on by the rocket he designed, Su Xun estimated that all his fifth-level training would be for nothing, and he wouldn't need to go out and wander around anymore. He could just stay in the safe zone. The speed of that thing was not considered fast for Su Xun. He actually caught it with his special ability.

It didn't cause any danger; in fact, it could be said that it gave him an extra weapon. So there's nothing to hold a grudge about.

His attention was now mainly focused on the spirit of the mineral vein in front of him.

If an ordinary superhuman were to encounter such a mineral vein creature that is mainly composed of a certain material, they would probably be helpless for a long time. However, for Su Xun, not only does he have the knowledge of these creatures from his previous life, but his own superpowers also have a considerable restraint on them.

However, it is not invincible to the legion. The currently deployed jet weapons can completely eliminate it at the physical level. It may take a long time, but victory can still be achieved.

Within the same level, there are no individuals that are completely unsolvable... probably.

At this moment, Su Xun still had the peach pit containing powerful spiritual energy in his pocket. What it would grow into was still unknown.
