From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 64: Countdown to the Final Battle

An ambush that wiped out two demon teams was highly successful.

Iron Arm, leading the warriors of the Bansel tribe in triumph, could be heard laughing heartily all along the way.

Winged Demon Commander Sagers initially intended to manage both fronts, but after clashing with Iron Arm, he realized that the weaponry of the Bansel tribe had greatly improved.

The Winged Demon Air Force he led couldn't stop these Bansel warriors at all.

This caused the battle situation to quickly tilt; the northern demon team crumbled under the Bansel warriors' war hammers and spears, beyond hope of recovery.

At this moment, he received a distress signal from the south.

He decisively chose to abandon the northern battlefield and flew south.

In his view, since the leaders and elite of the Bansel tribe were on the northern side of Blade Stone Forest, the team attacking from the south couldn't be strong. He was sure he could arrive in time to save the southern sacrifice and crush these damned attackers.

However, by the time he got there, the battle was already over, and he didn't even catch a glimpse of the attackers—there was nothing he could do but roar in frustration.

…

On the way back to Stone Hammer Castle, they encountered a team of Superpower Users.

This team of Superpower Users didn't dare get too close since the Bansel people were still very wary of outsiders.

Su Muyu spotted them and whispered to Lu Heng, "There's a team of Superpower Users on the eastern hillside; it seems they want to talk to us."

This time, the Abyss Battlefield was a hundred-person scale, and two days had passed already—surely other human Superpower Users survived.

Most Superpower User teams were attempting to intercept the Source Essence Sacrifice to prevent the resurrection ceremony.

Lu Heng's action with the Bansel tribe this time made quite a noise and attracted the attention of these Superpower User teams.

Seeing human Superpower Users among the Bansel tribe's ranks, they naturally had the idea of forming an alliance.

Lu Heng nodded to the Iron Arm leader and then stopped by the roadside to wait for this team of Superpower Users to come and communicate.

After the Bansel tribe's team had passed, two members of this team of Superpower Users came forward to meet them.

At about ten meters distance, the two men waved and greeted, "Hello."

Lu Heng nodded to them in greeting and then began to size each other up.

Among the two who came over, one was wearing Siam-style clothes, had dark skin, and was muscular, likely practiced in the Eight-Armed Fist.

Eight-Armed Fist was a type of fighting technique that used eight parts of the body: both fists, elbows, knees, and feet for striking.

This technique requires coordination with abdominal breathing and excels in elbow and knee strikes, making it very fierce and powerful.

The expert in Eight-Armed Fist didn't speak, instead, the other person handled the conversation:

"Hello, I'm Liu Dongzhou, and this is our captain, Sitichai."

"Hello, Lu Heng."

"We just saw your ambush on the demon team, we were planning to help, but we quickly realized you didn't need help," Liu Dongzhou was good at speaking tactfully, explaining why he was chosen to communicate.

His words were indeed pleasing, pretending to help while actually standing by, and even if they knew it was just politeness, it still sounded pleasant.

That's the art of language.

Lu Heng merely smiled without commenting.

During the conversation, Lu Heng also observed this team of Superpower Users.

This team was not small, consisting of 15 people—a considerable force.

However, this team's composition was complex and not solely composed of people from Xia Country, but also included Superpower Users from other nations.

Liu Dongzhou then asked, "I see you have a good relationship with those dwarfs..."

"They are Bansel people." Lu Heng corrected his reference to the Bansel tribe.

"What is your relationship with these Bansel people?" Liu Dongzhou asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Well…"

Lu Heng considered for a moment, then revealed a hearty smile and said, "A comprehensive strategic partnership."

This definition was extremely accurate.

Liu Dongzhou was stunned for a moment because this was a diplomatic term, representing extraordinary significance.

In fact,

using this term to describe it was indeed very appropriate.

Because this was an exchange between two civilizations, it had transcended the scope of nations and risen to a higher level.

If one were to delve deeper, the relationship between Lu Heng and the Bansel Tribe might be even closer than that of a comprehensive strategic partnership.

After all, Lu Heng had taken in over thirty apprentices within the Bansel Tribe.

This was much closer than a regular partnership.

Actually, Liu Dongzhou really wanted to ask, "How did you form an alliance with the Bansel Tribe?"

They had witnessed the fight between Iron Arm and Winged Demon Commander Sagers and clearly understood the combat power of the Bansel Tribe.

Forming an alliance with the Bansel Tribe meant gaining a powerful allied force.

Sitichai and Liu Dongzhou exchanged a glance, and Liu Dongzhou continued speaking,

"If possible, we hope to form an alliance and collectively prevent the Evil God's resurrection ceremony, which is too difficult for just one team to handle."

"Sure," Lu Heng nodded in agreement.

"Then can you lead us into Stone Hammer Castle to meet with the leader of the Bansel Tribe?" Liu Dongzhou made the request.

"Sure," Lu Heng nodded again in agreement.

Since they were going to form an alliance to prevent the Evil God resurrection ceremony, he would certainly take them into Stone Hammer Castle to discuss the action plan with the Bansel Tribe.

The communication went smoothly, and Lu Heng and this team of Superpower Users reached an alliance intention.

Afterward,

Lu Heng led this team of 15 Superpower Users into Stone Hammer Castle to meet with the Iron Arm Leader.

If it were anyone else, bringing so many outsiders into Stone Hammer Castle would surely face obstruction.

However, Lu Heng's prestige was so high within the Bansel Tribe, and he was almost sworn brothers with Iron Arm, so Iron Arm welcomed this 15-person team in the spacious council hall of Stone Hammer Castle.

After a brief introduction, Iron Arm welcomed them and promised to join in combating the demons and preventing the Evil God Barton's resurrection ceremony.

Over the next two days,

the Bansel Tribe continued their operations to ambush Demon Servants, and with the addition of 15 Superpower Users, the team's combat power increased significantly.

Lu Heng was always at the forefront, charging across the battlefield in unmatched fury, fiercely absorbing Demon Energy.

Under the massive surge of demon energy, his Source Energy Level skyrocketed.

Almost every time a demon team was wiped out, he leveled up.

By the last day, Lu Heng's level had risen from 14 to 17.

It was finally the deadline for the Evil God Barton's resurrection ceremony.

The mission panel on the Abyss Battlefield showed the countdown to the ceremony as: 16 hours 23 minutes 55 seconds.

This resurrection ceremony was scheduled to begin at midnight.

According to the intelligence sent back by the Bansel Tribe scouts, the ceremony had not stopped, and Barton Temple was still preparing.

Clearly, intercepting multiple Source Essence Sacrifices had not managed to stop the ceremony.

Many Source Essence Sacrifices had still been delivered into Barton Temple.

This also meant that the ultimate battle was inevitable.

To prevent the resurrection ceremony, they must storm the Temple.

Everyone was preparing for this final battle, striving to enhance their combat power as much as possible.
