    Chapter 297

    Boom!

    Boom!

    A series of muffled explosions echoed through the distant mountains.

    Hearing them, Su Hao immediately finished off the remaining summoned beasts around him and sprinted toward the east.

    "It looks like Yashan's run into some trouble."

    He leaped effortlessly from one mountaintop to another, rapidly closing the distance.

    His radar perception detected that Yashan's life force had weakened slightly.

    Judging from the fluctuations, Su Hao guessed Yashan had probably been caught off guard by one of the explosions and suffered some injuries.

    Fortunately...

    An Earth Lord's vitality was extraordinarily tenacious.

    Unless an attack instantly exhausted all of his life force or destroyed a vital organ beyond recovery, killing an Earth Lord outright was almost impossible.

    Because of that, Su Hao wasn't worried.

    Instead, he considered this a valuable lesson for Yashan.

    Modern weapons weren't something to look down upon.

    The Earth Lord wasn't invincible.

    Arrogance could still get him killed.

    After today, Yashan would surely develop a healthy respect for firearms and explosives.


    ---

    Stopping roughly eight hundred meters away, Su Hao climbed onto a rocky outcrop and quietly observed the battle.

    He had no intention of interfering.

    At first glance...

    Yashan appeared to be in an extremely miserable state.

    He was completely surrounded by layers upon layers of summoned beasts.

    Far in the distance, several snipers armed with armor-piercing rifles kept their sights fixed on him.

    The moment Yashan slowed down...

    Several new holes would immediately appear in his body.

    Whenever he attempted to break through the encirclement...

    A summoned beast carrying a high-explosive bomb would rush directly toward him before detonating itself.

    Each explosion blasted Yashan flying.

    Watching this scene...

    Su Hao nearly burst out laughing.

    Because Yashan's real body...

    Had long since hidden underground.

    The figure fighting on the surface was nothing more than a body formed from Black Crystal.

    Every time it was blown apart...

    Another one immediately condensed.

    The Resistance summoners were beginning to question reality.

    What exactly was this monster?

    Why wouldn't it die?

    Some had even begun wondering whether this black crystal humanoid was some extraterrestrial creature that had infiltrated their planet.


    ---

    When the battle first began...

    Yashan hadn't thought about tactics at all.

    The moment he saw a crowd of summoned beasts...

    He became excited.

    Gripping his enormous cleaver, he charged straight into the middle of them.

    It reminded him of the battles he used to play in games.

    One word perfectly described the experience.

    Refreshing.

    Swinging his cleaver, Yashan rampaged through the battlefield like an enraged bull.

    Every charge claimed one or two summoned beasts.

    He was having the time of his life.

    To Yashan...

    A fierce battle meant hacking other people apart.

    As for whether he would still enjoy it if someone were trying to chop him apart...

    He preferred not to think about that.


    ---

    Realizing ordinary attacks accomplished nothing...

    The Resistance immediately switched to their second strategy.

    Living bombs.

    The first explosion caught Yashan completely off guard.

    One of his arms was blown clean off.

    He was thrown to the ground, momentarily stunned.

    Immediately afterward...

    A sniper round struck him directly in the head.

    Only then did Yashan truly calm down.

    His real body quietly slipped underground.

    Meanwhile...

    He created another Black Crystal body above the surface to continue attracting the enemy's attention.

    The scene Su Hao was now watching was rather amusing.

    A huge army of summoned beasts frantically attacked the decoy.

    Meanwhile...

    Yashan calmly expanded his Black Crystal beneath the battlefield.

    As for the sniper shot that had supposedly pierced his head...

    It hadn't actually hit him at all.

    Yashan's real head was hidden much lower inside the armor.

    The visible head of the Earth Lord was merely another piece of Black Crystal.


    ---

    By now...

    Yashan's Black Crystal had already spread beneath every summoner.

    Seeing this, Su Hao smiled faintly.

    "It should be over."

    But what happened next completely exceeded his expectations.

    "Hm?"

    Su Hao blinked in surprise.

    Instead of immediately killing every summoner...

    Yashan quietly retrieved several high-definition cameras from the base.

    He carefully positioned them around the battlefield.

    Every angle was adjusted with meticulous care.

    Together...

    The cameras perfectly captured every summoner present.

    Su Hao couldn't help wondering...

    When had Yashan even brought those cameras over?

    Had he planned this from the very beginning?


    ---

    After setting up every camera...

    Yashan finally made his move.

    The Black Crystal surrounding the decoy suddenly surged upward.

    Within seconds...

    The false body expanded into a colossal giant nearly ten meters tall.

    Every Resistance summoner stared at it.

    In their eyes...

    The mysterious black crystal monster had entered its second phase.

    Which meant...

    The boss was almost dead.

    Excitement instantly spread throughout the battlefield.

    Victory was within reach.


    ---

    Just as everyone's spirits reached their peak...

    One summoner suddenly shouted,

    "Something's wrong underground—"

    Too late.

    Yashan unleashed the attack he had been preparing all along.

    "Super Fire Dragon Lightning Cyclone!"

    A towering vortex of crimson flames erupted into the sky.

    Brilliant bolts of lightning twisted through the inferno like dancing blue dragons.

    The blazing cyclone rose more than fifty meters into the air.

    The terrifying heat distorted the surrounding space.

    Lightning flashed endlessly within the sea of fire.

    It was beautiful.

    Magnificent.

    And utterly lethal.

    Even Su Hao, who had designed the runes himself, couldn't help admiring the attack.

    The combination of extraordinary abilities and rune techniques had produced something far beyond ordinary expectations.


    ---

    When the flames finally subsided...

    Silence returned.

    Every Resistance summoner had become nothing more than a charred corpse lying across the scorched earth.

    Not a single survivor remained.


    ---

    Only then did Yashan merge back into his true body.

    Standing amidst the ruins, he raised his head toward the sky and roared.

    Then, in a deep, hoarse voice, he declared,

    "I am Resistance Butcher No. 000!"

    "Resistance!"

    "Await my judgment!"

    Finally...

    He reached one hand toward the nearest camera.

    His fingers slowly closed into a fist.


    ---

    Su Hao walked over laughing.

    "Yashan, I didn't expect you to be so photogenic."

    "Have you ever considered becoming a celebrity?"

    "I'll write the script."

    "You do the acting."

    "I'm sure you'd become famous across the world."

    Yashan scratched his head and laughed.

    "I'm good at chopping people."

    "Playing one of those clean-cut idols?"

    "That's definitely not for me."

    Su Hao merely smiled.

    It had only been a joke.

    Still...

    If Yashan ever genuinely wanted to become a celebrity, Su Hao certainly wouldn't stop him.

    Freedom meant choosing whatever life you wanted.


    ---

    Taking several syringes from his storage, Su Hao gestured toward the battlefield.

    "Let's search the bodies."

    "See if they're carrying any Balancer Agent."

    "Hopefully your flames didn't destroy all of it."

    Yashan nodded.

    The two immediately began searching.

    In the end...

    They recovered fifteen intact syringes.

    Combined with the samples Su Hao had already collected, they now possessed enough Balancer Agent for extensive research.

    After confirming nothing valuable remained...

    Su Hao turned toward the direction of the hidden base.

    "Let's go."

    "It's time to relocate again."

    Yashan agreed.

    After burying every corpse beneath the earth...

    He carefully retrieved his beloved cameras.

    Today's footage was excellent.

    It would be perfect material for his next release.

    He had even thought of the title already—

    "Resistance Barbecue Special Collection."


    ---

    This surprise assault by the Resistance Association had genuinely caught Su Hao off guard.

    He hadn't expected them to use their own members as bait...

    Track Yashan's movements...

    Locate the hidden base through some unknown method...

    And finally assemble such an overwhelming force for a coordinated assault.

    Objectively speaking...

    The operation had been planned almost flawlessly.

    Against any ordinary powerful summoner...

    It probably would have succeeded.

    Unfortunately...

    Their target had been Su Hao and Yashan.

    More importantly...

    They had failed to employ overwhelming modern firepower from the very beginning.

    Against someone like Su Hao...

    No matter how perfect a strategy appeared...

    It was meaningless in the face of overwhelming strength.

    Absolute power had simply crushed every calculation.

    I can't help but wonder why they were all carrying these :? We didn't find any on the first chick we caught and parasytized. I can only imagine that either they thought they'd be on "Earth" so long, not returning to the star, that they'd require another dose of this solution or they thought they'd lose this fight and these syringes would be taken for research, possibly throwing us into a goose chase researching these seemingly important but actually useless things.
