Chapter 16

Suddenly, a beam of light shot into the sky from the west of Jinling City. Aodun slashed with his sword, and the slash collided with the beam, exploding in the sky.

"Technology weapons?" Aodun sneered. The reason they did not fight outside the city was because they feared technology weapons. Even this native planet had technology capable of reaching the stars, which could produce weapons threatening to them.

Outside the city, Granie and Lu Yin landed on the ground.

"It's actually Tres? This is troublesome," Granie said in surprise.

Lu Yin was puzzled, "Tres?"

"One of the top three strongest in the First Military Academy, with a combat power of 2,500," Granie said solemnly.

Lu Yin's heart sank, "As long as you can hold him off, I will deal with Aodun as quickly as possible."

Granie thought for a moment, "I can, but not for long."

Lu Yin nodded and rushed toward the direction of Zhou Shan.

Beams of light shot into the sky one after another. Aodun, growing impatient, said, "I'll kill this native first and then settle accounts with you." He then rushed to the ground, thrusting his sword at Zhou Shan.

Zhou Shan gritted his teeth and swung his giant axe to block Aodun. In terms of strength, he believed he could match Tres, but with Aodun added, the outcome was immediately clear.

Tres also landed on the ground. Although he was confident he could avoid the attacks of technology weapons, he was cautious.

As Lu Yin approached the battlefield between Zhou Shan and Aodun, he took out a fire crystal and threw it into the sky.

The red crystal was quite conspicuous. Aodun and Zhou Shan, engaged in battle, did not pay attention, but Tres saw it immediately. His eyes burned with intensity. Before he could react to why there was a fire crystal in the sky, he felt a sharp pain in his back. Tres's body quickly twisted, and he moved like a leaf in the wind, dodging Granie's second attack. "It's you?"

Granie said nothing, taking out a fire crystal from her ring and crushing it. The scorching flames burned the ground. "Flame Palm," Granie said softly, extending her palm and gathering flames, which turned into a deeper color as she attacked Tres.

Tres was enraged, coughing up blood. "You're asking for death," he said, his right palm rapidly vibrating and grabbing the air. This was the Wave Palm.

Bang

The two palms collided, and flames and air currents swept across the ground, destroying all buildings within a hundred meters.

The massive flames were swept up by the air currents, resembling dancing fire snakes.

Granie took several steps back, her face pale. Tres's Wave Palm was much stronger than Lu Yin's, and even with her combat techniques, it was difficult to resist.

Tres was also in bad shape. Flame combat techniques were inherently powerful and destructive, and Granie had used the fire crystal to enhance her attack, making this palm no less powerful than his.

"Granie, this is my territory," Tres roared.

Granie said nothing, her ring armor reflecting a red glow under the flames.

Tres gritted his teeth, his body covered in ring armor. He had not worn armor from the beginning, but now he felt the pressure, and more importantly, he was injured.

In the distance, Aodun turned around, shocked. "Granie? What are you doing here?"

Zhou Shan roared, his giant axe slamming down on Aodun. Aodun did not dare to be careless, raising his sword to slash at Zhou Shan. The fierce air currents swept around, cutting through the ground.

Lu Yin suddenly attacked, using the Flowing Body Step to rush to Aodun's side and striking with a palm. As he struck, stars appeared, this was the Celestial Star Palm.

Neither Aodun nor Zhou Shan expected someone to be hiding nearby. When they saw Lu Yin, Aodun was stunned, and Zhou Shan was puzzled. However, the moment Lu Yin's Celestial Star Palm hit Aodun's chest, he did not even have time to scream before his heart was shattered. The immense energy even pierced through his chest, smashing into a residential building and destroying it.

The ground could not withstand the pressure and exploded.

Zhou Shan looked at Lu Yin in shock, "You."

Lu Yin turned and swept a leg at Zhou Shan, his back to Granie and Tres, and whispered, "Attack me."

Zhou Shan's eyes flickered, but he still attacked Lu Yin, not holding back, using a Storm Slash.

Lu Yin used the Flowing Body Step to dodge the Storm Slash. Although he was not injured, his clothes were torn. "Push me over," Lu Yin whispered.

Zhou Shan roared, his giant axe smashing horizontally, and Lu Yin used the force of the axe to be thrown toward the battlefield between Tres and Granie.

Bang

A violent shockwave spread outward. Granie's face turned pale, her right palm trembling. She had been severely injured by Tres.

Tres was also in bad shape, his armor cracked and burned by the flames.

At this moment, Lu Yin was thrown into a wall not far from Tres and slowly fell to the ground.

Tres glanced at Lu Yin, then looked in the distance and saw the already dead Aodun. His expression changed, and just as he was about to say something, Zhou Shan flew away, fleeing.

"You can't escape," Tres leaped up and chased after Zhou Shan, his back to Lu Yin. Lu Yin used the abandoned buildings to leap into the air and struck Tres with a Celestial Star Palm, which rotated like a star and hit Tres's back. Tres, who had not taken Lu Yin seriously, felt a strong sense of danger and tried to dodge, but it was too late.

The star exploded, and Tres was struck by Lu Yin's palm, falling to the ground and creating a large crater. Lu Yin was also severely injured by Tres's counterattack, spitting blood and flying backward, landing in a wall. His ring armor shattered, and Asta's ring armor was completely destroyed.

Granie, holding her arm, walked to the edge of the crater and looked down.

Tres lay on his back, his face pale, coughing up blood.

Granie looked at Lu Yin in surprise, unable to imagine how he could have severely injured Tres with one palm.

Before she could think more, the dying Tres suddenly opened his eyes, took out a strange gun, and shot at Granie. A beam of energy pierced her shoulder. Granie struck back with a Flame Palm, hitting the same spot where Tres had been hit by Lu Yin's Celestial Star Palm. This palm completely shattered Tres's internal organs, killing him.

Granie collapsed on the ground, looking at Tres's body in shock, her back cold.

Although the planet evolution trial did not limit the number of deaths, too many casualties would cause some people to be displeased. In this battle, both Aodun and Tres were dead, especially Tres, one of the top three students in the First Military Academy, who was highly regarded. Now that he was dead, Granie was somewhat nervous.

Lu Yin, dragging his heavily injured body, came to Granie's side and said weakly, "Don't worry, at worst, I'll ask my grandfather to transfer you to our Tatar planet academy."

Granie stared at Lu Yin coldly, "What was that palm you hit Tres with? Even a double Wave Palm couldn't severely injure Tres."

"You're overthinking it. He was already severely injured by you, and I just hit the same spot," Lu Yin replied.

Granie clearly did not believe him. A combat power of 2,500 Tres being severely injured by a Horizon Realm cultivator was not that easy, even by coincidence.

Suddenly, a loud roar came from behind. Zhou Shan, who was thought to have fled, reappeared and swung his axe at Granie and Lu Yin.

Granie instinctively grabbed Lu Yin and put him in front of her. Zhou Shan, seeing Lu Yin pushed out, quickly changed direction. His axe did not hit Lu Yin but instead cut into the ground beside his ear. Lu Yin turned and struck Granie with a palm. Although he was heavily injured, this palm was not as powerful as the one he used on Aodun, but it was enough to severely injure Granie.

Granie's face turned pale, and she kicked Lu Yin away, sending him flying. She fell beside Tres, and Zhou Shan roared again, swinging his axe at Granie. Granie picked up Tres's gun and shot, the beam piercing Zhou Shan's axe and his shoulder, sending him flying over ten meters away, landing on the ground, unconscious.

The scene was silent for a moment, with only the flames burning on the ground.

The battle between four Exploration Realm and one Horizon Realm fighters had destroyed half of Jinling, immersing it in a sea of fire.

Granie took out healing medicine from her ring and swallowed it, recovering from her injuries.

A few minutes later, sounds gradually appeared around them. Granie's face changed, and she climbed out of the crater. She was heavily injured, with her shoulder pierced by the beam, and it was difficult for her to reach Zhou Shan, who was lying unconscious on the ground, his condition unknown.

Soon, Feng Hong, the glasses-wearing girl Qin Xuan, and others surrounded them, staring at Granie. "Surrender immediately, and we will spare your life."

Granie sneered, "You natives think you can spare my life? What, don't you want this native's life anymore?" She pointed the gun at Zhou Shan's head.

Feng Hong shouted, "Release Xing Sheng."

"Step back ten miles, or I'll kill him," Granie said sternly.

Feng Hong and the others exchanged glances and did not move.

Granie's eyes flashed with coldness, and she picked up a stone and smashed it on Zhou Shan's head, causing blood to flow.

Feng Hong shouted, "Stop, we can step back, but we must treat Xing Sheng, or he will die."

Granie agreed.

Soon, a doctor came to Granie and Zhou Shan, examined Zhou Shan, and provided emergency treatment.

It took twenty minutes to stop the bleeding. "Xing Sheng's injuries are too severe. We cannot delay. He needs comprehensive treatment as soon as possible," the doctor said.

Granie ignored them, "Step back ten miles immediately. I will leave in three hours, or I will kill this native."
