88 The Main Battlefield Where The Order Fell Apar

After seeing Lex, this was everyone's initial reaction. Still, some people immediately recognized Lex was dead serious.

An Army colonel-general stepped forward. He was prepared to take the place of his superior in this battle.

"Raj, step back," Sharp said in a stern tone. The robot insect's lens zoomed in.

Sharp's figure was not on the tall side. His average-looking face was expressionless, and his posture was straight as a pole. If he was put into a crowd, one could easily see he was a soldier. If one had to list what distinguishable features he had, it would be that a sheathed black sword hung from the right side of his waist. Although the blade's scabbard was plain and mundane looking, its craftsmans.h.i.+p was exquisite.

"If it was under any other circ.u.mstance, I'd be more than happy to exchange blows with another swordsman." As Sharp spoke, he was expressionless as usual. "But unfortunately, as for today, I'm sorry…"

After he said this, he extended a hand to his blade, movement slow enough that even Gu Ding could see clearly. The moment he gripped the hilt, Sharp's manner suddenly became frightening—like an unsheathed changdao sword, sharp and dangerous.

His right hand grasped the saber firmly, and he moved his arm in an upward motion, lifting the saber. Before the saber left its scabbard, the surface of the ground started quaking.

Even Gu Ding, who was at the outermost edge of the battlefield, could clearly feel the movement beneath his feet. A roar sounded in the distance, and a huge ravine of which the bottom could not be seen appeared in the desert in the video. The ravine continued extending as it cracked toward Lex's direction.

Just then, another person moved—it was that black-robed, masked man. Two black handguns appeared in his hands, and he made five consecutive shots in a movement so quick it was imperceptible, aiming directly at five of the Army's people.

"A gunner!" Liliath could not resist yelping in surprise. She did not think a gunner would appear in a battle of this caliber.

Just as she was doubting whether bullets had any effect on these powerhouses, she was shocked to see not just three colonel generals, even Sharp and Wendell—these two generals of the Army—suddenly made dodging motions.

After that, Liliath and Gu Ding witnessed a shocking scene. After the bullets were dodged, in the instant they hit the ground, causing an enormous explosion. A scene like a volcano erupting unfolded before their eyes.

"What sort of special bullets are those?" Gu Ding was a little dumbstruck as he watched this, and he could not help asking Liliath.

"No, they're just regular bullets, only that they've been enhanced with his primary power." Neptune interrupted to explain. He knew Liliath was also not quite certain what had just happened.

"A martial artist's primary power can be that terrifying?" Although Gu Ding had heard of primary power before, he had never personally witnessed the destruction a martial artist who possessed primary power could create.

"It's because his primary power's level of practice is very high, and his primary power inherently has explosive properties, so it creates this effect."

The masked man's sudden unprovoked attack completely put an end to the current, peaceful situation.

The old man with psychokinesis from the Liberty Alliance suddenly appeared in front of Lexy and reached out a finger. A semicircular translucent s.h.i.+eld enveloped Lex and his brother. Sharp's blade ruthlessly slashed over the s.h.i.+eld. After a moment, he returned it to its sheath, and the splitting ground finally stopped. 

"You're not ready to face Sharp yet," said the old man, turning his head to smile at Lex. Before Lex could thank him, the old man suddenly appeared in front of Sharp.

Seeing the old man make a move, Sharp's gaze darted all over the place. He inhaled deeply. "Senior…"

"After not meeting for so many years, you've become a general." The old man smiled wryly.

"If I didn't have your guidance…" Sharp seemed to have a history with the old man.

"I had only taught you some basic swordsmans.h.i.+p back then. The level of mastery you have attained now stems from your hard work." The old man shook his head. "Let me see what improvements you've made in the years since then."

"I'm sorry. The matter of the superweapons this time is critical." Sharp inclined his head slightly. His hand flashed through the air, and it seemed there was no gap in time before he had grasped the hilt of his saber and drew it out.

The moment he drew the saber, an aura of powerful energy spilled out from the edge of the blade. The nearby air was shredded into nothingness, and hundreds of sharp, invisible blades flooded toward the old man like a tide.

The old man cracked a slight smile. With one hand behind his back and another extended out, the attack that appeared so insanely vicious that even the ground trembled calmed instantly, and it was as if nothing had even happened.

"Who exactly is he?!" Gu Ding watched this with widened eyes. The full-force attack of the Army's strongest general had been stopped with just one move of this guy's palm.

[Name: Vannarab]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 315]

[Alignment: Liberty Alliance]

[Gene Level: Rank 11]

[Special Ability: Psychokinesis]

[Ability Description: The product of spirit being evolved to a certain point; it has many directions it can be further evolved as well as development possibilities.]

[Other Abilities: Ten Stars Martial Artist]

[Special t.i.tle: National Treasure]

"He's the fabled Vannarab?" Gu Ding was shocked into oblivion. This name was not just familiar—to Gu Ding. Hearing that name was like a crash of thunder in his ears.

Vannarab was the previous marshal of the Federation Army. He had commanded the Army for thirty years, and those had been by far the most peaceful thirty years the people had seen. This was until over twenty years ago, when he resigned from his duties as a marshal and withdrew from the Federation Army, joining the Liberty Alliance. It could be said that many of the powerhouses in the current Army were singlehandedly raised by him, and so that was why Sharp had that reaction upon seeing him.

On another side of the battlefield, a colonel general had already pounced on the masked man, and another two colonel generals pounced on two of the opposing units.

At the Army's side, only Wendell stayed put to guard, but he was not resting. With a movement of his finger, a fearsome hurricane that spanned the skies and tore the ground formed, rolling over to the other forces. However, he did not take the initiative to attack the Liberty Alliance's Grandma.

Grandma seemed to have no plans to take action and quietly watched the battle from the afar.

The battlefield was in utter disarray. Hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes… Nearly every type of natural disaster was present on that ground.

"Are these guys human?" Liliath was full of shock as she watched the images displayed in the video.

"Robert, how do you feel about us seizing the moment and slipping in?" Gu Ding said and grinned.

"Let's not rush. This state of chaos definitely won't be ending any time soon, and the Army still has a general who's in high-alert, only half-partic.i.p.ating in the battle." Robert shook his head. "That's right, did you guys bring the single-use items I made for you?"
