<h4>Chapter 2223: Chapter 2223: Return!</h4><h4></h4>
After several hours of the epic battle.
Derick Winslet and the other four had suffered severe injuries, drained of strength, andpletely lost theirbat capabilities.
Even though there was firepower support during the battle, it had little effect.
The Shark Man King and the others had already ascended to a levelparable to Divine Beings; they were utterly unfazed by humanity’s deadly weaponry.
At this moment.
The faces of Derick Winslet and the other four were pale, blood gushing from their mouths, barely clinging to life.
"Master Winslet..."
"Elder Louise..."
The disciples of all major sects ran over, choking up, tears streaming uncontrobly.
"It’s over... Everything is over!"
"The five Immortals of the East have fallenpletely; they can never rise again!"
"Even if these five Immortals have died in battle, they remain heroes of humanity!"
"But s, no one can resist these monsters anymore. Is humanity truly doomed to extinction?"
The people of various nations had fallen into utter despair.
Above the small ind.
"Hahaha..."
The Shark Man King looked to the heavens and roared withughter, his arrogance growing grantly wild.
He coldly set his gaze upon Derick Winslet and the other four on the ind, sneering with narrowed eyes: "Weren’t you old fes mighty strong? How about continuing the fight!"
The Demon King scoffed, "Did you truly believe you could defeat us? Laughable to the extreme!"
The Shark Man King added mockingly, "Isn’t that Old Monk of yours supposed to have gone for reinforcements?
Why hasn’t your backup arrived yet?
Perhaps those cowards fear us and don’t dare show up?"
"Shut your filthy mouth! Mr. Yeager will return, and all of you will die miserably!"
"Mr. Yeager will surely kill you all!"
"Your days of arrogance are numbered!"
The disciples of all the major sects shouted vehemently at the Shark Man King and hisrades.
"Heh..."
The Shark Man King let out an eerieugh, "Even now, you’re still pinning your hopes on that kid Lionel Yeager to save you?
If he truly wanted to rescue you, then why hasn’t he shown up yet?
I reckon that kid is too frightened toe out!"
The Demon King mocked further, "What nonsense about being the best in the world—he’s nothing but trash, a coward!"
The Serpent King interjected, "Enough talk with them; let’s just kill them already!
After killing them, we’ll tten all of Hawk Nation!"
The Shark Man King nodded slightly, "Demon King, proceed!"
"Alright!"
The Demon King replied.
At once, the two of them wielded their long spears and giant axes, preparing to annihte Derick Winslet and his team!
"Protect the Old Heavenly Master and the others!"
"Our deaths mean nothing, but the Old Heavenly Master and the others must not die!"
Disciples of all major sects rushed to stand in front of Derick Winslet and the other four, ready to use their own bodies to block the onught from the Shark Man King and the Demon King.
Derick Winslet spoke weakly, "You... must leave... don’t throw your lives away for us..."
"Old Heavenly Master, there’s no need for you to say anything; we won’t leave!"
"Old Heavenly Master, though you fight these monsters to the death, we are powerless to help. At the very least, we can use our own flesh and blood to dy them for at least one more minute!"
The disciples of all the major sects looked resolute, already prepared to sacrifice themselves.
Just then!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Apanied by piercing sounds of breaking through the air!
Dozens of missiles shot toward them from Hawk Nation’s direction, targeting the Shark Man King and the Demon King!
The Shark Man King looked toward the distant ce, calmly remarking, "I’ve already said it won’t work; why won’t you believe me?"
With that, he swung the long spear in his hand!
Swish, swish, swish!
Hundreds of enormous waves surged from the ocean!
These wavespressed and merged, transforming into colossal water cannons, charging upward to meet the attack!
In an instant!
Boom, boom, boom!
Thunderous explosions reverberated across the skies!
mes rose high, dark smoke rolled heavily!
All the missiles were intercepted!
And as these dozens of missiles were destroyed!
Another wave of missiles, trailing fiery tails like meteors, streaked across the firmament, shooting toward them!
"Hmph, foolish humans!"
The Shark Man King sneered in disdain, his entire body trembling slightly!
A massive ghost-blue light shield condensed and enveloped the Shark Man King and hisrades entirely!
Boom, boom, boom!
Wave after wave of missiles struck the light shield, exploding consecutively in the sky!
The gigantic ghost-blue light shield merely quivered gently, utterly undisturbed!
Useless!
Still useless!
At this moment.
Inside the Hidden Dragon Pavilion Headquarters Conference Room.
Seth Yeager and Solomon Levin stared intently at the broadcast on the projection screen, their jaws clenched, hearts hanging by a thread.
On a side wall, multiple video windows were projected simultaneously.
Severalmanders from around the world appeared in these windows.
"Mr. Yi, we cannot hesitate any longer. Deploy the most potent weapon and eliminate those creatures!"
"The timing right now is perfect; we can’t afford to miss this chance!"
"If we don’t obliterate them, humanity will face annihtion!"
Themanders spoke in unison.
Seth Yeager responded gravely, "The use of such weapons would also bring catastrophic harm to our citizens.
Therefore, everyone, just wait a little longer. Someone wille to destroy them!"
"Wait? Still wait? You’ve said before that someone woulde to help, but so far, no one has shown up!"
"Do you really want to see humanity wiped out?"
"If something goes wrong, will you take responsibility?"
Themanders grew increasingly furious.
Seth Yeager thundered, "I said wait, so we wait!
If anything happens, I, Seth Yeager, will bear the consequences entirely!"
At this moment.
In the South Sea Region.
Boom, boom, boom!...
Missiles filled the skies, firing in rapid session from all directions, with resounding explosions echoing endlessly!
The Shark Man King and Demon King hesitated no more, raising their weapons and charging at Derick Winslet and the other four on the ind!
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
A massive ghost-blue spear and a ck giant axe heavily descended, crashing and splitting the firmament, shattering the Void!
As if two mountain ranges crushed downward, the scene was terrifying to the extreme!
The disciples of all major sects standing in front of Derick Winslet and the others trembled uncontrobly, their faces pale as corpses!
Yet none of them retreated!
The people worldwide, watching the battle’s broadcast, shut their eyes, unwilling to witness further!
Many sped their hands in prayer, desperately hoping for a miracle!
The creatures of the Six Major Alien Races all wore wicked grins, brimming with exhration!
And then, in the midst of this despair!
A voice as thunderous as rolling heavenly lightning echoed forth!
"You alien races truly believe my mighty Hawk Nation is without defenders?"
Before the voice had even faded!
Whoosh!
Apanied by a sharp, piercing sound of breaking air!
A colossal golden giant sword, over a thousand feet long, radiating an unbearably brilliant light, shot forth from the distant ce!
Boom, boom, boom!
Layers of Void and the light shield conjured by the Shark Man King were all rendered meaningless before this sword, pierced straight through!
"Who goes there?!"
"Be careful!"
The Shark Man King and Demon King shouted simultaneously, desperately raising their weapons in defense!
In an instant!
Thrum, thrum, thrum!
The vast ghost-blue spear and ck giant axe collided heavily with the radiant golden giant sword!
Boom, boom, boom!
The site of impact exploded into a massive Void Hollow!
Above, the heavens split open with abyssal cracks!
