"Wait, why isn't he moving?"
"He seems... to be spacing out?"
He Jinqiu, who was in the clouds, was looking up at the sky above.
He saw the vast Milky Way hanging upside down in the darkness, and the countless stars within reach.
Vast and magnificent.
silent.
No one expected that in the midst of this brutal battlefield, this lone swordsman would suddenly gaze at the brilliant starry sky and become lost in thought.
In fact, he had been able to fly on his sword for two months, but he had never come to the sky to see this breathtaking scenery.
Only now does he realize what he has missed in his life.
“It’s so beautiful,” He Jinqiu exclaimed, a tear rolling down his cheek.
Not sentimental, not tragic.
He only marveled at the vastness of the world and the confinement of human life.
At that very moment, the black hair on his head turned white, and he went gray in an instant!
He Jinqiu smiled and sighed, "Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns..."
My life has been full of ups and downs.
Right, missed.
I've cried and I've laughed.
I've been both restrained and unrestrained.
Looking back, however, I realize I've taken so many wrong turns.
On that road, there are fierce tigers in the morning and long snakes in the evening, grinding their teeth and sucking blood, killing people like flies.
But it's okay.
It's okay.
But then He Jinqiu suddenly plummeted, manipulating nineteen flying swords that swirled around him. The swords grew faster and faster until it was impossible to distinguish which was a sword and which was a person.
After becoming a demigod, the Heart Sword became exceptionally dazzling.
The residents of Silver City felt as if a shooting star had fallen from the sky, drawing a straight, brilliant line of light that pierced through the clouds at an unimaginable speed, heading straight for the aerial fortress.
The clouds seemed to have been pierced with a hole, pouring down like a waterfall!
The dazzling light continued to fall, fall, fall.
With a loud bang, light exploded on the deck of the aerial fortress.
One second later.
That unique ray of light pierced through the sky above the Silver Ship and then emerged from its bottom!
Countless fragments of the Black Fortress fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.
That enormous war machine was actually breached by He Jinqiu!
Unprecedented and unparalleled!
Since the birth of aerial fortresses in human history, we have never experienced such a blow!
After all superhumans become demigods, their position in the food chain must be determined based on their interactions with other demigods.
But after becoming a demigod, He Jinqiu did not fight any other demigods; instead, he chose an even more terrifying opponent.
Difficulty of traveling
Go back!
Chapter 888, Though there be millions, I will go.
2 a.m.
Only two hours have passed since I traveled through time, yet so much has already happened.
In the woods, Qingchen was leading the second, fourth, sixth, seventh, and eighth brothers, searching for the fifth, ninth, and eleventh brothers.
The six men shouted loudly in the night, "Fifth Brother, Ninth Brother, Eleventh Brother, where are you?"
The sound seemed especially eerie in the empty woods, like a malevolent ghost from a horror movie.
However, before Qing Chen could find the person, he saw that one after another airships had abandoned their act and were turning back towards Silver City at the same time.
Qingchen quickly climbed to the treetop and looked out into the distance.
Under his control, the second brother and the others on the ground each found a large tree and looked towards Silver City.
The second brother was cursing in his heart. They were controlling us like puppets, and they were making it so humane. It was one thing for him to just watch the show and enjoy the spectacle, but he had to drag us along too.
However, the second son soon stopped cursing.
The other Black Knights shared the same thought: shock.
As they climbed to the treetop, they happened to see Mr. He's rainbow piercing the sun in the distance.
Eighty kilometers away, a straight white light fell downwards, piercing through the Silver Sky Fortress.
Qing Chen had never seen such a sight before, but he knew it must be He Jinqiu.
The enemy must have already broken out and even reached the air fortress!
In the past, aerial fortresses were the nemesis of demigods.
Once a demigod is locked onto by the fortress's main artillery on the ground, an instantaneous saturation attack is enough to cover an area of five kilometers in radius. Within those five kilometers, even a hundred demigods would die.
Therefore, all demigods will try to avoid direct confrontation with aerial fortresses.
Li Shutong was no exception.
Chen Yu was no exception.
No one is an exception.
However, He Jinqiu's breakthrough overnight has rewritten the legend of the invincible aerial fortress!
Qingchen was filled with excitement for a moment, but soon became worried.
He knew very well that even if Boss He made a breakthrough, he couldn't possibly fight a city all by himself.
Even though the air fortress crashed, hundreds of airships were still turning back.
Human strength is finite; one person cannot be an enemy of the whole world.
Qingchen wasn't trying to belittle Boss He, but rather analyzing the situation objectively and making the right choice for himself.
At this moment, Qing Chen and He Jinqiu were his only comrades on the battlefield, but there were countless enemies.
If I go, I'll probably die.
Qing Chen suddenly turned to the second brother in the tree canopy next door and said, "I know you were probably thinking before: What are you bragging about? If you were one of us who could only live to 40, you would also choose to possess someone else. I won't refute that, because I have never faced such a predicament, so even if I say a thousand things, it won't be convincing."
"Yes, who isn't afraid of death?"
"But now I'm going to show you just how the knights of the Eastern Continent are different from you. I'll show you with your own eyes what it means to live a fiery moment that is worth more than a hundred years of wretchedness!"
Though there be millions, I will go.
The next moment, Qingchen led the second brother and the others down from the treetop and headed towards the battlefield as if their lives depended on it.
He had no more scruples and swiftly killed any ground enemies he encountered along the way.
Under his control, the second brother and the others kept urging the Autumn Leaf Blade to fire.
The entire team, like a bulldozer with its diesel fuel fully loaded, rumbled as it pushed towards Silver City.
Qing Chen, along with five A-level marionettes and an A-level shadow, truly mastered the forbidden marionette technique to its fullest extent.
The marionette was also excited; none of its previous hosts had ever controlled so many A-level experts!
We've never fought such a lucrative war before!
Compared to Qing Chen, all the previous hosts were just trash...
At this moment, the second, fourth, and sixth brothers cursed inwardly, "Big brother, do you know how many people are over there? That's the entire Silver City army group! Now that the air fortress has been breached, not only will the air fleet be coming, but the land army group will also quickly assemble."
That's two hundred thousand people!
Please don't take us back to our deaths!
And brother, if you want to use the method of using knight's true energy to activate the Autumn Leaf Blade, then can you at least pick up some leaves from the ground?
This is a forest, the ground is covered with leaves, you can just pick some up... Can't we just stop pulling our own hair out?!
Just as Qing Chen was leading the puppets in a counterattack on Silver City, he felt that the most efficient way to harvest the enemy was for the six knights to unleash their Autumn Leaf Blades together.
However, bending over to collect leaves would greatly reduce travel efficiency and is also unsightly.
At such a passionate moment, is it appropriate for a group of people to bend over like old ladies picking up bottles?!
And isn't there a ready-made ammunition depot right above the Black Knight's head?
So, after fighting their way out forty kilometers, every Black Knight had a large bald patch on the back of their head, bleeding profusely and looking extremely painful.
But gradually...
They followed Qingchen through the battle, watching the young man get closer and closer to the front lines. They felt firsthand that this young man had no intention of turning back.
Actually, the whole world's attention is on He Jinqiu right now. As long as Qing Chen turns around and runs, no one will pay any attention to him.
But Qingchen really had no intention of turning back.
Just like on Mount Laojun, he walked barefoot through the forest, stepping on a trail of blood, and desperately smashed the boulder in his arms onto the van that was about to drive away.
He was willing to risk his life for two dead Kunlun members back then, and he can do the same now.
In an instant, Qingchen led the puppets out of the forest and continued to accelerate!
At one moment, the second brother suddenly felt as if he had returned to the battlefield hundreds of years ago, where they followed their eldest brother and charged out, advancing fearlessly in the same way.
