Chapter 297

“Boom—”

“Boom—”

From a distant place, the muffled sounds of explosions reached Su Hao’s ears. After swiftly clearing all the summoned beasts in the vicinity, Su Hao ran eastward.

“It seems Yashan got quite a hit!” Su Hao leaped from one mountain top to another, rapidly closing in. The radar detected a slight drop in Yashan’s life force, and Su Hao speculated that Yashan was caught off guard by a sudden bomb, resulting in some injuries.

However, the Earth Lord possessed an extremely strong vitality. Unless the bomb could instantly deplete Yashan’s life force or cause fatal damage, it couldn’t directly kill the Earth Lord.

Therefore, Su Hao wasn’t in a hurry. He thought it was a good opportunity for Yashan to experience the care of modern weapons, understanding that the Earth Lord wasn’t invincible, and death was the outcome of arrogance.

After this incident, he presumed Yashan would at least have some awe for modern weapons.

Su Hao stopped about seven to eight hundred meters away, observing Yashan’s battle without intending to intervene.

At this moment, Yashan looked quite miserable, surrounded by layers of summoned beasts in circles.

Moreover, from a very far distance, several snipers with armor-piercing bullets were keeping a close eye on Yashan’s figure. As soon as Yashan dared to stop, he would immediately gain a few extra holes in his body.

And if Yashan tried to break out, a summoned beast carrying a high-explosive bomb would rush to his side, detonating the bomb and sending Yashan flying.

Seeing this scene, Su Hao almost burst out laughing.

The true form of Yashan had long been hiding underground. The one playing around on the surface with the summoners was just a form condensed by the black crystal armor.

After the black crystal form was blasted apart, it quickly regenerated! This made those summoners seriously question their lives!

What exactly was their opponent? Why wouldn’t it die no matter how they bombed it?

They unanimously suspected that the humanoid monster composed of black crystal was an extraterrestrial being lurking on their home planet…

When the battle began, Yashan didn’t think so much. Encountering a group of summoned beasts, he got excited, raised his large cleaver, and charged into the fray. He had experienced this unparalleled feeling in the game before.

In summary, it was just one word: exhilarating!

Yashan, wielding the large cleaver, rampaged through the summoned beast group like a deadly bull. Each charge took away the life of one or two summoned beasts.

Incredibly vigorous!

Yashan himself was immersed in the pleasure of ‘fierce combat.’ The meaning of ‘fierce combat’ for Yashan was tearing others apart!

If others were to ‘tear’ him apart, he wasn’t sure if he could still immerse himself.

After discovering that they couldn’t budge Yashan, the resistors’ summoners executed their second plan—meat bombs!

At first, they caught Yashan off guard with the exploding meat bombs!

One arm was even blown away, and he lay on the ground in a daze!

After being shot in the head by a sniper rifle, Yashan, the Earth Lord, began to regain his composure!

His true form submerged underground, hiding while casually creating a false body on the surface to deceive the summoners!

What Su Hao witnessed next was a scene where a group of summoned beasts unleashed their firepower on the false body, while Yashan’s true form covertly transformed his black crystal armor underground.

As for Yashan’s head being shot by a sniper rifle and not dying…

That was because Yashan was too short; his real head barely reached his neck. The head of the Earth Lord was entirely composed of black crystal armor that he condensed!

At this point, Yashan’s transformation steel had already included all the summoners.

Su Hao revealed a faint smile: “It should be over now!”

However, the following scene didn’t unfold as Su Hao expected. Yashan’s actions left Su Hao astonished, prompting him to utter a perplexed sound: “Huh?”

Unexpectedly, Yashan didn’t immediately take down all the summoners at once. Instead, he brought several high-definition cameras from the base, quietly set them up, and aimed them at the battlefield.

The camera angles were intricate, and the cameras worked together to capture all the summoners in their frames.

What puzzled Su Hao was when Yashan had brought the cameras from the base. Could it be that he had this plan from the very beginning?

After setting up the cameras, Yashan started to act.

A large amount of black crystal armor suddenly rose in the location of the false Yashan, surrounding it. In a matter of moments, the false Yashan transformed into a nearly ten-meter-tall giant, attracting the attention of all the summoners.

In their view, this mysterious armored humanoid boss had gone berserk. Entering the second phase meant that the boss was close to being defeated!

For a moment, the summoners were even more enthusiastic. Victory was in sight!

When the emotions of all the summoners reached their peak, someone noticed the anomaly underground: “Something’s not right…”

But it was already too late!

Yashan, who had prepared a powerful skill for a long time, released it at full force.

“Super Fire Dragon Lightning Cyclone!”

In an instant, crimson flames accompanied by dazzling electric flashes surged, rotating and rising violently to a height of fifty to sixty meters. The intense flames burned fiercely, emitting waves of heat that distorted the air. Thin and sinuous electric serpents occasionally flashed blue light amidst the fiery clouds, creating a lethal and alluring beauty that made people unable to resist yearning.

The combination of the alien and runic symbols unexpectedly produced such a powerful attack. Even Su Hao, who had created all of this, couldn’t help but be amazed.

As the rotating flames gradually dissipated, those summoners from the resistance had turned into charred corpses, lying haphazardly on the ground.

No one escaped!

At this point, Yashan had already merged with the false Yashan. He roared towards the sky, then spoke in a hoarse and deep voice: “I am Resistance Butcher No. 000! Resistors, await my judgment!”

After saying this, the character from the scholar’s television extended his palm, grabbed towards the camera, and clenched his fist into the void.

After watching Yashan’s performance, Su Hao jumped in front of Yashan with a smile, “Yashan, I didn’t expect you to look quite photogenic. Have you ever considered becoming a star? I’ll provide the repertoire, and you’ll be responsible for the performance. It’ll definitely go viral worldwide!”

Yashan chuckled, “I’m good at chopping people, but learning to be those clean and fresh young idols? That’s not my thing.”

Su Hao casually joked, not taking it seriously. However, if Yashan wanted to try becoming a star, Su Hao wouldn’t object.

That’s the essence of a free spirit – do whatever you want.

Su Hao took out syringes and gestured to Yashan, “Let’s search the bodies of these summoners, find the syringes they carried. Hopefully, they haven’t been burned by your fire!”

Yashan nodded, and both immediately got to work. In the end, they found a total of fifteen syringes, including the eight they retrieved and the ones Su Hao found on his own – enough for Su Hao to study for a while.

After collecting all the syringes and ensuring nothing was left behind, Su Hao walked towards the base, saying, “Let’s go, let’s go back! We need to change our location again.”

Yashan nodded in agreement. After burying the bodies underground, he swiftly retrieved his beloved cameras. The material recorded today would be enough for him to release a special edited version titled ‘Complete Collection of Resistance Dragon Charcoal Poses.’

This surprise attack by the resistors turned out to be unexpected for Su Hao. He didn’t anticipate that they would use their own people as bait to lure Yashan, determining the location of their base through some special method, and then organizing this siege.

One could say that the planning for this siege was flawless. If executed by any powerful summoner, it would undoubtedly achieve the intended results. Unfortunately, this seemingly perfect plan targeted Su Hao and Yashan.

However, they didn’t consider using heavy modern weapons against Su Hao from the very beginning. No matter how perfect the plan was, it was destined to fail in the face of Su Hao’s absolute strength.

Because, in front of Su Hao’s overwhelming power, the effectiveness of the plan was not as strong as imagined.

    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.
