Chapter 549 449: A Great Victory, Not Seen in a Hundred Years

"Gao Neng isn't dead?"

"Gao Neng... he's really not dead!"

ROAR!!!

In an instant, the entire battlefield seemed to erupt.

Whether it was the 100,000 human garrison troops or the Alien Race Alliance Army they were locked in a bloody struggle with, all eyes turned to Gao Neng at that moment.

The life or death of a single man was affecting the entire situation!

This was Gao Neng's current standing in this war.

The human garrison, which had fallen into despair over Gao Neng's supposed death, was once again fired up. In fact, they seemed even more ferocious than before.

Part of this was naturally because Gao Neng had defeated the Blood Grand Marshal.

But a larger part was simply the fact that Gao Neng was alive.

As long as Gao Neng was alive, there was hope.

This idea might sound somewhat ethereal, but it was the truth. Unconsciously, the 100,000 garrison troops had already pinned all their hopes and faith for victory on Gao Neng.

In contrast to the 100,000 human troops, the mood of the Alien Race Alliance Army had plummeted from the heavens, crashing straight to rock bottom.

"He's actually still alive?!"

"After being struck twice by the Blood Grand Marshal... he can still stand up?"

"And he even deceived the Blood Grand Marshal!"

"AHHH!!!"

The Alien Race Alliance Army was furious.

But after their fury came despair.

Because, ever since Gao Neng appeared, the tide of the entire battle had turned against them.

Thirty-one high-tier warriors leading an alien army of 30,000 to attack a crumbling city wall and a human garrison with less than forty percent of its fighting strength remaining—this should have been a walk in the park.

But what was the result?

The thirty-one high-tier warriors were instantly annihilated.

And then, the 100,000 human troops had charged at them like madmen.

After that...

Nearly a hundred of the aliens' high-tier warriors rushed out, and even six Rank-9 Grand Marshals had attacked Gao Neng, but as of now, one was dead and two were injured!

The king of the Ice and Snow Race was dead!

King Beiliang was trapped in an Illusion Realm, unable to extricate himself.

Even the commander of the entire campaign, the highly experienced Blood Grand Marshal, now lay powerlessly before Gao Neng, waiting only for the blade in Gao Neng's hand to fall.

"We've lost!"

"We've really lost..."

"There are no more reinforcements. The two hundred thousand Allied Army troops are trapped."

The morale of the Alien Race Alliance Army instantly hit rock bottom.

This was the despair that followed a colossal setback. After all, with the Blood Grand Marshal's defeat, they truly could not see any path to victory in this war.

"GAO NENG!!!" the Blood Grand Marshal roared, his voice hoarse with rage.

He had considered himself cautious enough, and he had even seen through Gao Neng's Illusion Technique, but despite all that, he had still lost.

'Why did I lose?'

'Why!'

The Blood Grand Marshal was unreconciled to this defeat.

A human who had just broken through to the high-tier was somehow able to use an Illusion Technique to control King Beiliang, whose true form was a 'Beiming Tuna'. How was that possible?

And more importantly, he was certain both of his palm strikes had landed successfully on Gao Neng. Why wasn't he dead?

'He's just a human who recently broke through to the high-tier...'

'Just how strong is his body?'

"Want to know why you lost?" Gao Neng asked, looking at the furious Blood Grand Marshal as the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Why?" The Blood Grand Marshal didn't struggle anymore. He had truly exhausted the last of his strength and could no longer pose any threat to Gao Neng.

"Your power is immense, and you are cautious enough, but you overlooked one thing..." Gao Neng nodded, then spoke again.

"What thing?" The Blood Grand Marshal's gaze was fixed on Gao Neng.

"You never truly understood your opponent."

"Never truly understood my opponent... Are you referring to the Super Energy Warrior?"

"Super Energy Warrior is just a label. Do you know what it truly represents?"

"What does it represent?!" By now, the Blood Grand Marshal truly believed in the concept of a 'Super Energy Warrior', because there was no other explanation.

"Heh heh..." Gao Neng suddenly started to laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" The Blood Grand Marshal was filled with curiosity.

"I'm laughing at your naivete. Can you really not guess where a Super Energy Warrior originates from?" Gao Neng's gaze gradually grew profound.

"Are you saying... you're like us, that you originate from... No, that's absolutely impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible!"

"No, I don't believe you!"

"Believe it or not, it's the truth."

"Hahaha, cut the crap, Gao Neng! You think you can trick me? I'll never believe you! Die!" The Blood Grand Marshal lunged madly at Gao Neng.

In response, Gao Neng casually trapped the Blood Grand Marshal in a Cyan Dragon Illusion Realm.

The reason was, he was also very cautious.

Although he was sure the Blood Grand Marshal no longer had the power to harm him, what if? So, casting an Illusion Realm, even if it cost a million, was truly a small price to pay.

THUD!

After falling into the Illusion Realm, the Blood Grand Marshal suddenly dropped to his knees.

He didn't rampage about like King Beiliang, because his body was already spent. It was even more impossible for his consciousness to break free from the Illusion Realm.

'He's kneeling?' Gao Neng thought, looking at the Blood Grand Marshal kneeling before him. He could see panic and terror on the man's face. Clearly, his earlier words had successfully steered the Grand Marshal's thoughts.

He didn't know what, exactly, the Blood Grand Marshal was seeing in his Illusion Realm.

But he did know one thing...

It was probably not a pleasant dream.

"It's finally over!" Gao Neng didn't wait any longer. He let out a heavy sigh of relief, then slowly raised the blade in his hand.

CRACK!

One Slash.
