Seeing that the Martyr's Palace had retreated, even though Ling Boli was unwilling, she knew that it was impossible to break through Yuzhang City's final defense system with just the power of the Fusang Celestial Branch. The massive attack on Yuzhang City had finally come to an end.
Left with no choice, Ling Boli could only order her Yuan Kou subordinates to retreat from Yuzhang City before the Super Dimensional Wall Protection System reactivated.
These ordinary Yuan Kou that obeyed her orders were easy to deal with, but Adam, who was still fighting Kang Na, was a different story.
Ling Boli couldn't order Adam to attack the core area before, so she couldn't order Adam to retreat from Yuzhang City now either.
Once the Yuzhang people's Super Dimensional Wall Protection System reactivated, Adam would be completely lost in Yuzhang City.
Ling Boli definitely couldn't bear the loss of Adam's death. All of Ling Boli's combat power was on Adam. Losing Adam meant losing the New Era Evangelion Machine Zero.
Then she, Ling Boli, would fall from a Yu-Level Yuan Kou to a Tiger-Level Yuan Kou. Her position in the Fusang Celestial Branch would become extremely awkward. This was a situation that Ling Boli absolutely couldn't accept. Thus, she had to do everything she could to pull Adam out of Yuzhang City.
"Adam!
Retreat immediately!
Retreat immediately! "
Ling Boli once again repeated her orders over ten times, but Adam, who was already tangling with Kang Na, completely ignored her orders. Ling Boli's final experiment had also been declared a failure, so the only thing she could do now was to take a risk.
Thinking of this, Ling Boli sighed slightly. She looked around and found a pure white underwear in the ruins of a building. Then, she waved the underwear high in her hand and walked toward the core area.
…
"Finally won!"
Sword Immortal Ling Xu couldn't help but shed tears of excitement at the sight of all of the Yuan Bandits retreating.
This was really too difficult. Yuzhang City had paid a bloody price to finally obtain this victory.
"Milord!
A Yuan Kou is approaching us! "Sword Immortal Ling Xu's tears had barely fallen when he heard his subordinate's report.
"Why are you asking me?
Can't we just kill him? "Sword Immortal Ling Xu said without hesitation.
"But my lord!
That Yuan Kou seems to be waving a white cloth in his hand. Does that mean he's surrendering? "The subordinate said again.
"White cloth?
Surrender? "
Sword Immortal Ling Xu's interest was piqued. He walked over to the edge of the city wall and looked down. Sure enough, there was a young woman in a strange white dress waving the white cloth in her hand. At the same time, she raised her hands high into the air as she approached the core region.
"It's Ling Bo Li!"
Sword Immortal Ling Xu was astonished. He recognized Yuan Kou as the pilot of the Zero Gospel Machine, Ling Boli.
"Let her come here. I want to see what she wants to do."
Sword Immortal Ling Xu's curiosity was piqued. Of course, he knew that Ling Boli's true combat prowess was only at the level of a tiger-rank Yuan Kou. The soldiers on the city wall would be able to kill this Yuan Kou in a single volley. He didn't suspect that Ling Boli had any ulterior motives.
Under Sword Immortal Ling Xu's command, Ling Boli's journey was unimpeded, and she soon appeared before Sword Immortal Ling Xu.
"I want you to release Asuka. Also, get that giant dragon to stop attacking and let Adam leave Yuzhang City!"
Ling Boli went straight to the point. As soon as she saw Sword Immortal Ling Xu, she immediately stated her objective.
"Miss Ling Boli is quite straightforward!"
Sword Immortal Ling Xu nodded. In reality, Adam had already broken free from control. Anyone with a discerning eye could see this.
Now that Ling Boli had taken the initiative to find him, it further proved this point. It proved that she had already lost control of Adam.
Then, to Ling Boli at this time, the only way to take Adam away was to get the humans to voluntarily retreat. Only by getting Kang Na to voluntarily withdraw from her battle with Adam would Adam gradually regain his rationality and be under Ling Boli's control again. Only then would she be able to successfully bring Adam out.
Of course, there was also the captive Asuka. Although Ling Boli didn't have a good relationship with her, she still had to exchange Asuka.
"What trump card do you have?"
Sword Immortal Ling Xu clearly knew that if Ling Boli didn't have something to rely on, she definitely wouldn't dare to come to him and ask him to release Adam. Otherwise, Sword Immortal Ling Xu would kill Ling Boli right away.
Since Ling Boli was straightforward, Sword Immortal Ling Xu couldn't be bothered to converse with Ling Boli. He directly asked about Ling Boli's trump card.
"Can any of you withstand the self-destruction of a Flood-Level Yuan Kou?"
Ling Boli coldly swept her gaze across everyone's eyes. "With a single thought from me, Adam will immediately self-destruct.
Once a Flood-Level Yuan Kou self-destructs, the entire Yuzhang City will be razed to the ground in an instant. None of you will survive. "
"What!"
"How could this be?"
Hearing you say that, all the people around you showed a horrified expression.
In the more than 1,000 years of battle between humans and Yuan Kou, whether it was for humans or Yuan Kou, self-destruction was the best way to perish together.
Humans had experienced at least a dozen Flood-Level Yuan Kou and even Desolate-Level Yuan Kou's self-destruction.
As for the result of the self-destruction … everything within a radius of about 100 kilometers would be destroyed, and a deep pit with a radius of about 100 meters would be blasted out. Unless the sword bearers present could have a personal shield with an energy level of more than one million, they would only be dead in the face of a Flood-Level Yuan Kou's self-destruction.
A personal shield with an energy intensity of more than 1 million was roughly equivalent to the personal shield energy intensity of a top spirit sword level sword-bearer. In other words, any sword-bearer below the top spirit sword level would directly die under the self-detonation of a flood-level Yuan Bandit. There was absolutely no possibility of survival.
Thinking of the scene of Adam self-destructing in Yuzhang City, all the humans present suddenly shuddered. They wanted nothing more than to immediately drive this god of plague out of Yuzhang City.
"Why should I believe that giant has the ability to self-destruct?
There has never been such a record in our information! "
Although Sword Immortal Ling Xu was also shocked, this was a matter of great importance. If Adam could listen to Ling Boli's order and instantly self-destruct, then it was naturally necessary to agree to Ling Boli's request.
But if Ling Boli's self-destruction was fake, then he, Sword Immortal Ling Xu, would become a complete joke.
This kind of example was not unheard of. The most recent one was 95 years ago, when the fledgling Yan Jin Jiandi … Oh, at that time, it was still Yan Jin Sword Spirit.
Yan Jin Sword Spirit and Cheng Yaojin of the Martyr's Palace fought in the Mei Ling Mountain Range. In the end, Yan Jin Sword Spirit expended a tremendous amount of effort and finally defeated Cheng Yaojin. Just as Yan Jin Sword Spirit was about to kill Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Yaojin suddenly rushed into a building full of people and threatened Yan Jin Sword Spirit, saying that if Yan Jin Sword Spirit dared to kill him, he would immediately self-destruct and take everyone in the building down with him.
At that time, Yan Jin Sword Spirit was threatened and indeed didn't dare to kill him further. In the end, while he was hesitating, one of the final Bosses of the Martyr's Palace, Flood-Level Yuan Kou Emperor Li Shimin, reached out a giant hand from the void and saved Cheng Yaojin.
In the end, just a few days later, this face-slapping happened. This Cheng Yaojin drank a few bottles of Erguotou from who knew where, and then just happened to encounter a small team of sword bearers. Cheng Yaojin, who had already drunk so much during the fight that he couldn't control his mouth, sarcastically recounted what had happened.
It turned out that Cheng Yaojin didn't have the ability to self-destruct at all. He was only deceiving Yan Jin Sword Spirit, but he didn't expect that fool to actually believe him.
In the end, half of the sword bearers died under Cheng Yaojin's three axes, while the other half barely managed to escape.
The surviving swordbearers immediately blamed their hatred on the Sword Spirit of Jie Jin.
Based on their logic, if it wasn't for the fact that Sword Emperor Zhi Jin was too stupid and was deceived by Cheng Yaojin, resulting in him not killing Cheng Yaojin, their comrade wouldn't have died in Cheng Yaojin's hands today.
As a result, these sword bearers spread the news, and in the end, everyone knew about it, causing the young Yan Jin Sword Spirit to lose a lot of face. It was said that he couldn't raise his head for a year or two … But this wasn't entirely a bad thing. After this incident, Yan Jin Sword Spirit's personality became very calm, which laid the foundation for him to ascend to the throne in the future.
After Sword Emperor Zhi Jin ascended to the throne, it was reasonable to say that everyone should avoid this matter.
However, Gu Jin Jiandi took the initiative to tell others about this, hoping that they would take this as a warning and not be fooled by a few words from Yuan Kou. Otherwise, it would leave behind a scourge that would cause future sword bearers to suffer.
It was precisely because of Gu Jin Jiandi's attitude that this matter was widely spread, and in the end, everyone knew about it. It became a fable called "Cheng Yaojin self-destruct", and all humans took this as a warning.
Now, Sword Immortal Ling Xu had to confirm that Ling Boli was telling the truth, that this Adam really could self-destruct under her control. Otherwise, he would become the next Gu Jin Jiandi.
"All your information was recorded later on. Adam has never self-destructed, so of course you don't know that Adam has the ability to self-destruct," Ling Boli said coldly.
Although what she said was a little annoying, it was the truth. Apart from the huge number of Yuan Kou, the abilities of the unique Yuan Kou had never been fully recorded. Moreover, most of the abilities of the Yuan Kou who had the ability to self-destruct were only recorded after they self-destructed. Before that, it was indeed very rare for humans to know that they had the ability to self-destruct in advance.
"Who can prove that Adam can self-destruct?"
Sword Immortal Ling Xu asked after a moment of hesitation. He knew that his question was very stupid. He had all the recorded information of the human race in his hands. There might be someone who could prove Adam's ability to self-destruct, but it could only be those Yuan Kou who were very familiar with Adam.
But asking a human to ask Yuan Kou for proof … Not to mention the fact that the probability of these Yuan Kou lying was as high as 99%, where would he, Sword Immortal Ling Xu, find those Yuan Kou who could prove Adam's ability?
Could he, Sword Immortal Ling Xu, give these Yuan Kou a call, send them a message, or personally go to their homes to prove it?
"Yes!"
What Sword Immortal Ling Xu didn't expect was that Ling Boli would answer this question with such certainty and calmness. Then, she told Sword Immortal Ling Xu that Ge Cheng Meili of the Free City and the mayor of the Free City could prove it.
