Suddenly, a beam of light shot into the sky from the west of Nanjing. Orton slashed out with his sword, but the two collided and exploded.
"Technological weapons?"
Orton sneered. The only reason they didn't fight outside the city was because they were wary of technological weapons. Even this native planet had the technology to step into the heavens, enough to create weapons that could threaten them.
Outside the city, Jeraldine and Lu Yin landed.
"It's Terence?
This is bad, "Jeraldine exclaimed.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Terence?"
"He's one of the top three in the First Military Academy, with a power level of 2500," Jeraldine said solemnly.
His heart sank, "As long as you can stall him, I'll deal with Orton as soon as possible."
Jeraldine thought about it, "Sure, but not for too long."
Lu Yin nodded and rushed towards Zhou Shan's location.
Beams of light shot towards Orton one after another, but he grew impatient, "I'll deal with you after I kill this native." He then charged towards the ground and stabbed at Zhou Shan.
Zhou Shan grit his teeth and swung his axe to meet Orton head on. In terms of strength, he was confident that he could fight Terence, but with Orton on the side, victory would be decided immediately.
Terence landed on the ground as well. Although he was confident that he could avoid the attacks of technological weapons, he was still cautious.
As he approached the battle between Zhou Shan and Orton, he took out a fire crystal and threw it into the sky.
The red crystal was quite eye-catching, but Orton and Zhou Shan didn't notice it because they were busy fighting. Terence's eyes burned with passion, but before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his back. Twisting his body like a leaf in the wind, he avoided Jeraldine's second attack, "It's you?"
Jeraldine did not say a word. Instead, she took out a flame crystal from her cosmic ring and crushed it, causing the scorching flames to burn the ground. "Blazing Palm!" Jeraldine growled as she struck out with her palm. Flames gathered in the center of her palm and transformed into an even darker color as she attacked Terence.
Terence was furious and coughed up blood, "You're courting death!" His right palm shook rapidly, grabbing at the air as he used Shockwave Palm.
Boom!
The two palms collided, flames and shockwaves sweeping across the land and destroying all buildings within a hundred metres.
Huge flames were swept up by the shockwaves, dancing in the air like a fiery snake.
Jeraldine took a few steps back, her face pale. Terence's Shockwave Palm was much stronger than Lu Yin's, and even if she used a battle technique, it would still be difficult for her to block it.
Terence wasn't having a good time either. Fire Battle Techniques were originally very powerful and destructive, and Jeraldine had even borrowed the power of the Flame Crystal. This palm strike wasn't any weaker than his.
"Jeraldine, this is my territory!" Terence roared.
Jeraldine didn't say anything. The ring armor on his body reflected a red light under the illumination of the flames.
Terence clenched his teeth. Ring armor covered his body. He hadn't been wearing it since the beginning, but now he felt the pressure. More importantly, he was injured.
In the distance, Orton turned around in shock. "Jeraldine?
Why are you here? "
Zhou Shan roared and swung his axe at Orton. Orton did not dare to be careless. He raised his sword and swung it at Zhou Shan. A sharp Qi swept out and cut the ground open.
Lu Yin suddenly made his move, using the Roving Step to rush to Orton's side. He struck out with a palm that caused stars to appear. This was Sirius Palm.
Neither Orton nor Zhou Shan had expected someone to be hiding nearby. The moment they saw Lu Yin, Orton froze while Zhou Shan was puzzled. But in the next moment, Sirius Palm struck Orton's chest. Orton's heart was shattered before he could even scream. The majestic energy even penetrated his chest and blasted into a house, destroying it.
The ground couldn't withstand the pressure and immediately shattered.
Zhou Shan looked at Lu Yin in shock. "You!"
Lu Yin turned around and swept his leg towards Zhou Shan, his back facing Jeraldine and Terence. "Attack me," he whispered.
Zhou Shan's eyes flashed, but he still attacked Lu Yin. He didn't hold back at all, using a Storm Slash.
Lu Yin used the Roving Step to avoid the attack. Although he wasn't injured, his clothes were still torn. "Push me over there," Lu Yin ordered.
Zhou Shan roared and swung his axe horizontally. Lu Yin borrowed the force of the axe and was thrown towards the battle between Terence and Jeraldine.
Boom!
A violent tremor spread into the distance. Jeraldine's face paled and her right hand trembled; she had been heavily injured by Terence.
Terence wasn't faring any better either; his armor had been scorched and cracked by the flames.
Coincidentally, Lu Yin crashed into a wall not far from Terence and slowly fell to the ground.
Terence glanced at Lu Yin and then at the dead Orton in the distance. His expression changed and he was about to say something when Zhou Shan flew off into the distance.
"You can't escape!" Terence leapt up and chased after Zhou Shan, his back facing Lu Yin. Lu Yin used the abandoned house to leap into the air and attack Terence with a palm. Sirius Palm spun like a star as it slammed into Terence's back. Terence didn't care about Lu Yin at first, but the attack made him feel an intense sense of danger. He instinctively dodged, but it was too late.
The star exploded as Terence was sent crashing into the ground, creating a huge crater. Terence had reacted in time and sent flying backwards, spitting out a mouthful of blood before crashing into a wall. Vesta's ring armor had been completely shattered, and Lu Yin's was also heavily injured.
Jeraldine clutched her arm and walked over to the crater to look at the bottom.
Terence was lying on the ground, his face pale as he coughed up blood.
Jeraldine stared at Lu Yin in shock, unable to imagine how he had managed to injure him so severely.
But before she could think any further, the dying Terence suddenly opened his eyes and pulled out a strangely shaped gun. He aimed at Jeraldine and fired a shot. A strand of energy pierced through her shoulder, and Jeraldine countered with a Blazing Palm, once again landing on the spot where Terence had been struck by Lu Yin's Cosmic Palm. This palm completely shattered Terence's organs and killed him.
Jeraldine collapsed to the ground and stared at Terence's corpse in shock, a chill running down her spine.
Although there was no limit to the number of deaths in the planet's evolutionary trial, too many deaths would cause disgust. Both Orton and Terence had died in this battle, especially Terence. He had been one of the top three students of the Military Academy and had held high hopes for him. Now that he was dead, Jeraldine was nervous.
Lu Yin dragged his heavily injured body to her side and said weakly, "Don't worry, I'll ask Grandpa to transfer you to Pagoda Planet."
Jeraldine stared at him coldly, "What's with the palm you hit Terence with?
Even a double Shockwave Palm shouldn't have been able to injure him. "
"You're overthinking it, he was injured by you. I just happened to hit the same spot," Lu Yin replied.
Jeraldine clearly didn't believe him. How could someone with a power level of 2500 be injured by a Seeker? Even if it was a coincidence, it couldn't be that simple.
Suddenly, there was a shout from behind them. Zhou Shan, who they thought had escaped, appeared once more and swung his axe at Jeraldine and Lu Yin.
Jeraldine instinctively grabbed Lu Yin and used him as a shield, but Zhou Shan hurriedly changed direction when he saw Lu Yin being pushed out. The axe missed Lu Yin and instead slammed into the ground beside his ear. Lu Yin turned around and slammed his palm into Jeraldine's body. His injuries weren't as severe as Orton's, but it was still enough to heavily injure her.
Jeraldine's face paled as she endured the pain and kicked Lu Yin, sending him flying and landing beside Terence. Zhou Shan roared again and swung his axe at Jeraldine, but Jeraldine picked up Terence's gun and fired. The beam pierced through Zhou Shan's axe and his shoulder, sending him flying more than ten meters before crashing to the ground. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
The scene was silent for a moment, with only the flames burning on the ground.
The battle between four Sentinels and a Seeker had destroyed half of Nanjing, drowning it in a sea of flames.
Jeraldine took out some healing pills from her cosmic ring and swallowed them, recovering from her injuries.
A few minutes later, sounds started coming from all around her. Jeraldine's expression changed as she crawled out of the crater. Her body was heavily injured, and her shoulder had been pierced through by a beam of light. It took her a lot of effort to reach Zhou Shan's side, who was unconscious on the ground.
Soon, Feng Hong, Qin Xuan, and the others surrounded Jeraldine. "Surrender immediately, and we can spare your life."
Jeraldine was disdainful, "You natives want to spare my life?
What, you don't want this native's life? "
She pointed her gun at Zhou Shan's head.
"Release the Executioner!" Feng Hong shouted.
"Retreat five kilometers, or I'll kill him!" Jeraldine snapped.
Feng Hong and the rest looked at each other, but didn't move.
Jeraldine's eyes flashed coldly as she picked up a rock and smashed it into Zhou Shan's head, causing blood to gush out.
Feng Hong shouted, "Stop, we can retreat, but we have to treat the Executioner, or he's dead."
Jeraldine agreed.
Soon enough, a doctor walked over to Jeraldine and Zhou Shan and checked his body before performing emergency treatment.
It took a full twenty minutes to stop Zhou Shan's bleeding. "The Executioner's injuries are too severe, we can't delay any further. We need comprehensive treatment as soon as possible," the doctor said.
Jeraldine ignored them, "Retreat five kilometers, I'll leave in three hours, or I'll kill this native."
