I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 1014: Chapter 650: Shooting an 8th-Tier Demon Statue (Part 2)

Once the Tier Eight Stele Demon is free to act, can they still survive?

In the sky, when Zhuang Ji saw Zhuang Xian falling, his expression changed drastically, his eyes were full of anxiety, and he instinctively wanted to rush down to save Zhuang Xian.

But he didn’t have a moment to catch his breath. The Stele Demon, skilled in Soul Shock, had already launched another attack, a more concentrated Spirit Blade cutting through the air, aiming directly at his mind.

Meanwhile, the Stele Demon covered in tentacles seized the opportunity to act, dozens of thick tentacles like steel whips came whipping at him with a howling force, sealing off all his space for evasion.

Zhuang Ji could only be forced to defend, his Longsword swinging, sending out one green Wind Blade after another, barely fending off the tentacle attacks, while mobilizing Soul Power to hard resist the Spiritual Shock.

Elsewhere, the Stele Demon with a formidable physique didn’t hesitate at all, diving directly towards the pit on the ground, evidently intending to finish off Zhuang Xian in his heavily injured state.

Just as the Stele Demon was about to rush into the pit, a green figure suddenly flew out of the dust, narrowly avoiding the fatal strike.

Zhuang Xian gripped his Longsword tightly, his face pale as paper, his mouth covered in bloodstains, his breath diminished to the extreme.

But the crisis wasn’t over. Before Zhuang Xian could steady himself, the Stele Demon adept in Demonic Qi manipulation had already locked onto him.

Dark Demonic Qi missiles flew at him like a downpour, carrying a corrosive force to annihilate everything.

At the same time, the Gravity Field enveloped him, making his entire body feel heavy, lifting an arm became exceedingly difficult.

Boom!

The massive Stele Demon leaped up from the ground, rushing towards him, a fist filled with surging Demonic Qi, aiming straight for his face.

Zhuang Xian wanted to dodge, but suddenly realized that two dark Demon Claws had quietly formed, grabbing his ankles firmly. Those claws were as hard as steel bars, no matter how he struggled to break free, he couldn’t move, binding him solidly in place.

Looking at the gigantic form charging at him, a resolute light flashed in Zhuang Xian’s eyes.

He fiercely bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood that splashed on the Longsword in his hand, instantly absorbed by the sword.

In an instant, Zhuang Xian’s aura surged dramatically, the green Spiritual Energy around him frenziedly surged, the green light between his brows became even brighter, the Wind King bloodline driven to the limit.

The Longsword emitted a crisp, clear reverberation, the sword surrounded by a soft blood-colored and green light, seemingly responding to his resolute mindset.

In the blink of an eye, the leading Stele Demon was already upon him, the black fist carrying an earth-shattering force, swung fiercely, its fist wind howling, causing the surrounding air to tremble and crack.

Zhuang Xian’s gaze sharpened, exhausting all his Spiritual Energy, lifting the Longsword high, then slashing down fiercely.

The green sword beam, wrapped in blood-colored light, charged forward decisively, clashing violently with the Stele Demon’s fist.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion roared through the heavens and earth, terrifying Energy surges erupted from their collision, sweeping crazily around, withered trees along the path snapped instantly and vaporized.

The explosive sound of Energy clash had yet to dissipate when a figure flew backwards like a snapped kite.

It was Zhuang Xian.

The Longsword in his hand could no longer be held, slipping from his grasp, tracing an arc in the air, embedding heavily into a distant dead tree.

Zhuang Xian’s breath waned to the extreme, his body plunging straight into the dense forest below.

"Boom!"

A loud crash resounded as the ground trembled violently, another deep crater erupted amidst the forests, dust swirling.

Within the pit, Zhuang Xian struggled to hold himself up, his Qi and Blood churned inside, a metallic taste rising in his throat, unable to restrain himself from spitting another mouthful of blood, staining the decayed leaves before him.

The wounds on his body kept oozing blood, the Wind King’s bloodline power nearing exhaustion, leaving him with barely any strength to lift a hand.

Feeling the dire state within, a bitter expression appeared on Zhuang Xian’s face, his eyes gradually giving way to despair.

The nearby Zhuang Family warriors, locked in battle with the Stele Demons, seeing this scene couldn’t help but be shaken to their core, each wanting to rush over and protect Zhuang Xian.

But those Stele Demons firmly entangled them, not allowing them a step away.

At this moment, another figure plummeted from the high skies, with a "bang" striking the ground, remaining motionless.

It was Zhuang Ji.

Without Zhuang Xian’s cooperation, Zhuang Ji could not fend off the encirclement of multiple Tier Eight Stele Demons alone, getting critically injured and falling after just a few rounds.

Seeing this situation, the Zhuang Family warriors fell utterly into despair.

Both Great Elders critically wounded, who could resist these Tier Eight Stele Demons anymore.

The Zhuang Family, it’s over!

In the sky above, five Tier Eight Stele Demons floated in mid-air, gazing downwards, their eyes cold and mocking, as if enjoying the prey’s struggle before its death.

Soon, the leading Stele Demon with a formidable physique dove down again, targeting the heavily injured Zhuang Xian in the pit, apparently ready to end the slaughter.

"Elder!"

A Zhuang Family youth screamed out, his eyes full of despair.

Zhuang Xian lowered his head weakly, knowing, he ultimately didn’t manage to wait for reinforcements.

The Zhuang Family, it seems destined to fall here.

However, just as the Tier Eight Stele Demon was about to deliver the fatal punch, its body suddenly halted, overwhelmed by an immense sensation of crisis that struck it from top to bottom.

Without time to ponder, it immediately abandoned the attack on Zhuang Xian, Demonic Qi surged madly within, forming a thick Demon Energy Shield around it, dark Demon Patterns appearing on its surface.

In the next moment, a bullet flickering with lightning appeared behind the Stele Demon without warning.

The bullet spun swiftly, entwined with lightning, emitting a faint sizzle, at an extreme speed, it slammed into the Demon Energy Shield instantly.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound, the seemingly sturdy Demon Energy Shield was penetrated like paper before the lightning bullet.

Following that, the bullet precisely penetrated the Stele Demon’s body.

"Bang!"

A massive explosion caused the Stele Demon’s body to tremble violently, a huge hole instantly appeared on its chest, nearly ripping its entire torso apart, splattering black blood mixed with shattered scales.

Lightning rampaged within the Stele Demon, its core Demon Core shattered instantly under the lightning’s devastation.

"Aaaaah!" screamed the Stele Demon, shrill beyond comprehension, filled with pain and unwillingness, its massive body twisting and disintegrating in the lightning, little by little transforming to dust, dissipating into the air, leaving only a large glowing dark spot slowly drifting down, its Tombstone Spirit Fragment.

This sudden scene plunged the entire battlefield into dead silence. Zhuang Xian in the pit suddenly opened his eyes wide, utterly stunned, staring at the vanishing shadow, filled with disbelief—a bullet, it was a bullet! A bullet capable of exploding a Tier Eight Stele Demon? This exceeded his understanding, he even thought he was hallucinating, instinctively rubbing his eyes, yet the shocking scene just now was etched clearly in his mind.

Not only Zhuang Xian, the Zhuang Family warriors present, even those Low Tier Stele Demons were taken aback, many stopped fighting, their eyes fixed on the direction where the Stele Demon vanished, utterly shocked, unable to return to their senses for a long time. A bullet slain a Tier Eight Stele Demon, such combat capability, too terrifying, too unbelievable.

In contrast, the remaining four Tier Eight Stele Demons in the sky, witnessing their companion killed in an instant, their Demonic Qi instantly agitated, their black eyes filled with fury and apprehension, daring not to be careless, immediately constructing layer upon layer of defense around themselves, Demon Energy Shields stacking, Demon Patterns flashing, staring vigilantly at their surroundings, searching for the unknown attacker.

In the next moment, a Space Rift silently appeared in mid-air, gradually expanding into a ancient Gate of Space. A black-clad figure slowly walked out from the Gate of Space, a straight posture and stern face, exuding an aura of unapproachable sharpness, tightly holding a black long knife in hand, the blade emanating a faint cold light, overwhelming in pressure.

Seeing this figure, the Zhuang Family warriors originally plunged into despair, their pupils shrank immediately, then revealed a mix of surprise and delight, a glimmer of hope reignited in their eyes. Among the Zhuang Family descendants present, not a single one didn’t recognize this man—Qin Tian, Major General Qin! The man who not long ago, during the slot competition, effortlessly defeated their Zhuang Family’s formidable fighters, displaying terrifying combat capabilities!
