Chapter 308: Chapter 303: Xia Mo Enters_1
True Qi surged out from beside Mu Huanqing, slaying the Void beast that emerged unexpectedly. The presence of this True Qi made her glance sideways involuntarily.
When she turned her head, indeed, the owner of this True Qi was none other than Bai Chaojin, the Family Head of the Bai Family.
"Qing'er, where is your formation?" Bai Chaojin arrived at Mu Huanqing's side, frowning as he fought off enemies and asked.
Mu Huanqing replied with cold eyes, "Before you speak to me, Grandfather Bai, you had better tell me where Fang Ren has gone."
"..."
Bai Chaojin's heart jolted, his movements pausing momentarily.
Based on the current situation, it seemed that Mu Huanqing must have found out something. After all, Fang Ren had already come into contact with the night, and he had been with Mu Huanqing for so long, and since the two were lovers, it was normal for them to share everything frankly.
Truly, one misstep caused another.
"Girl, I don't want to become enemies with you," Bai Chaojin said.
"You have indeed hidden many things!"
Hearing these words from Bai Chaojin, Mu Huanqing instantly understood too many things.
Jiang Ling's words to her were all but confirmed now, and reality was just so; Bai Chaojin had indeed turned Bai Qi into an experimental subject and had captured Fang Ren to use him as an auxiliary tool for Bai Qi.
The image of grand justice that Bai Chaojin held in her heart crumbled in that instant. She had often been with Bai Qi since childhood, and Bai Chaojin's care for her rivaled that of a grandparent. However, she never imagined that this grandfather, whom she respected, had treated people close to her as chess pieces since she was little!
"This is not the time to discuss these matters with a great enemy before us. If you intend to turn against me, then let's talk after this catastrophe has passed," Bai Chaojin earnestly said.
"I can distinguish what's more important, but you must tell me where Fang Ren is now!" Mu Huanqing demanded angrily.
"Don't worry, he is safe now. I estimate that you'll be able to see him in seven days."
"What did you force him to do?"
"I originally wanted to force him, but in fact, he volunteered," Bai Chaojin explained.
While they were talking, the vines restraining the serpent's head started to loosen. If they did not attack quickly, the head would escape back into the black mist.
At this moment, Mu Huanqing's mind was in chaos. She was extremely concerned about Fang Ren's safety, but now she had no choice but to let go of her worries for her lover.
"If anything happens to him, don't blame me for not cherishing past sentiments!" she exclaimed.
After saying this, Mu Huanqing quickly launched an attack on the serpent's head.
She was clear about what she should do now; she couldn't let her emotions cloud her judgment, or else, if they lost the battle, Fang Ren would still be in danger. Moreover, her daughter had just been born; she could not let her live in a world filled with Void beasts from the beginning.
This war had to be won.
Bai Chaojin watched Mu Huanqing, who, despite being severely injured, continued to charge into battle. His aged face could not help but turn even paler today.
The heart of man is made of flesh, after all. Mu Huanqing, whom he had watched grow from a child, was almost like his own granddaughter to him; how could he bear the thought of becoming her enemy?
If it weren't for the sake of a peaceful future for the world, he wouldn't want to be this eternal sinner.
"Generals! Cut off this head!"
Without giving it more thought, Bai Chaojin roared, his True Qi burning as he attacked the serpent's head.
At that moment, the Cultivation Techniques of tens of thousands converged, launching an assault at the head suspended in mid-air, the scene was once again earth-shatteringly astounding.
Without the protection of the black mist, the serpent's head, under the ferocious attack of the crowd, had its scales flying off, exposing the flesh beneath.
Just as the serpent's head was about to be blasted into a pulp, suddenly, from the ten-thousand-meter black mist, seven huge heads burst forth, spewing black energy into the sky to block everyone from continuing the assault on this head.
As the other heads surged out of the mist, Mu Huanqing's restraining formation was broken in an instant, and the head that was about to be turned into a pulp promptly retracted into the mist. Then, the seven heads that had just emerged swiftly fled back, disappearing into the black mist, leaving no trace.
Once again, the battlefield returned to its previous state, light rays continuously sweeping through the black mist, both scouring the human army and searching the seabed for its head, while the people could only keep bombarding the black lines on the sea surface to prevent this monster from finding its head.
"Chase!"
Seeing the serpent's head about to be shattered escaping, Bai Chaojin immediately led his troops to pursue into the black mist.
"Commander-in-Chief! Don't rush in!"
A General immediately yelled, "We've already had hundreds of brothers rush in and get obliterated! Inside, you can't see anything at all, nor can Divine Sense detect the enemy's position! We're just being toyed with by this monster!"
Hearing this, Bai Chaojin also quickly stopped, "Is there no way to disperse this black mist?"
"Currently, we haven't found a Cultivation Technique that can counter this black mist! The Wind Attribute cannot blow it away, the Light Attribute is swallowed by it! But I feel that as long as the Light Attributed Cultivation Technique is sufficiently powerful, it will be able to break through it!"
```
"Light and darkness are mutually exclusive, Light attribute techniques must have an effect on this thing!"
Listening to the voices of the surrounding soldiers, Bai Chaojin's gaze turned to the distance. Although he also knew Light Attribute techniques, his Spiritual Root was of the Wood attribute, which prevented him from unleashing the full power of Light Attribute techniques.
Speaking of Light Attribute techniques, of course, it was the Commander-in-Chief Xia Mo who was the strongest, possessing a Light Attributed Spiritual Root. Xia Mo had already broken through the Mysterious Night realm, and the power of his Light Attribute techniques was countless times greater than his own.
"Where is old brother Xia..."
Bai Chaojin searched the skies above the island for Xia Mo and Jiang Ling, but found that the two had already vanished without a trace.
"Was Jiang Ling defeated? Or could it be that..."
Boom—
Just as everyone was resisting the beast horde while looking for a way to dispel the black fog, the sky above the outer battlefield suddenly boomed with a loud noise.
In an instant, a column of light appeared in the originally murky sky, erupting continuously towards the clouds, breaking open the gloom above the battlefield and expelling all the dark clouds from the sky.
The source of this column of light came from an elder dressed in white. The elder was floating high above the battlefield, wielding a silver-white longsword, pointing it towards the clouds, and the sudden column of light was emitted from the elder's sword.
"It's the Commander-in-Chief! The Commander-in-Chief has arrived!"
"We're saved! If it's the Commander-in-Chief, he can definitely break through this layer of black fog!"
"At last, we can slay this beast! Revenge for our brothers and sisters!"
…
With the appearance of the Commander-in-Chief, all the soldiers became as excited as if they had seen their savior.
It was also because of Xia Mo's appearance that people around the globe, who were watching the battlefield livestream, were finally able to calm their hearts at this moment.
The scenes of the broadcast like the end of the world caused every person's heartstrings to tense up. Even those who should have been asleep, after glancing at the news, could no longer close their eyes, because nobody knew what the world would be like when they woke up.
In countless software platforms' live broadcast rooms, tens of millions of people were watching the battlefield every moment, and the official livestream platform had been restarted countless times due to the sheer volume of several billion people.
"We must win! We must! Otherwise, it really will be the end of days!"
"The Commander-in-Chief has come out! We can definitely win this war!"
"Why haven't the reinforcements from the 7, 8, 9 War Zones arrived yet! I'm so nervous! I can hardly bear to watch on!"
"I suddenly hate that I'm powerless to go to the battlefield! Even if I could kill one enemy, that would be something!"
…
The bullet comments never stopped revealing people's panic, grief, anger, and helplessness.
Weng—
In the high skies of the battlefield, after the dark clouds were dispelled, Xia Mo's longsword began to rapidly slay towards the dense pack of beasts on the sea's surface.
The sound of the sword rang through the sky, the white column of light swept across the demon beast crowd and in a flash, a mist of blood filled the sea's surface, and countless Void beasts were shattered by the column of light.
With a large number of the beast horde being slain, a direct path to the Black Giant Snake also appeared before everyone. The soldiers on the outer and middle layers immediately stopped the beast horde from closing up the path, giving Xia Mo more time to reach the central battlefield.
They could not follow Xia Mo into the central war zone together because their numbers would affect the performance of the high-ranking soldiers. After all, the Black Snake's attack range was so vast; their presence would hinder the high-ranking soldiers' evasion.
Therefore, holding back the invasion of the lower-ranked Void beasts at the periphery was indeed what they should be doing at this moment.
"Is this... Doomsday Sunlight?"
Bai Chaojin, who was in the central battlefield, was stunned upon seeing this sword.

As far as he knew, "Doomsday Sunlight" was the strongest technique Xia Mo himself could use.
The technique condensed the user's entire True Qi into a weapon, causing it to materialize and doubling the purity of the True Qi – a special technique with immense power. If launched with its strongest strike, it could compare to one collective firing attack of the Central Area's Anti-Void Array.
But now, Xia Mo had not broken through the Mysterious Night realm; otherwise, the strongest strike of this technique would undoubtedly be several times more potent than the firing attack of the Anti-Void Array.
The great cost of such a powerful technique was that it required a lot of time to gather energy. Only by elevating the purity of True Qi to a certain height could the "Sunlight Sword" in Xia Mo's hands be condensed.
Seeing Xia Mo unleash the technique as soon as he appeared, Bai Chaojin felt bewildered. Earlier, Xia Mo had been fiercely fighting with Jiang Ling, and it looked like it would be difficult for the two to determine a winner even after several days of battle. During the fight, Xia Mo definitely did not have the time to condense the Sunlight Sword.
And now that Xia Mo's technique was already deployed, it meant that Jiang Ling had already left this place; otherwise, Xia Mo would not have had the time to activate the technique.
"I just hope Jiang Ling doesn't find Fang Ren then; otherwise, the Seed project will come to an end."
At this moment, Bai Chaojin could only pray in his heart. Although Bai Qi had completed the experiment and obtained Void Energy, he still wanted to keep Bai Qi and Fang Ren's child as an insurance policy.
After all, whether Bai Qi could shatter the Void was unpredictable to anyone.
