Chapter 998 Beast Race Attacks (9)
Chapter 998 Beast Race Attacks (9)
?
Once the other beasts had been cleaned out, there was only the golden crow who was left.
The golden crow had tried struggling against the Ruler Realm Expert that had appeared, but it wasn't able to fight back when it was injured like this. At the same time, from time to time, there were dark spears that flew out at it, catching it off guard and injuring it even more.
As the fight progressed, it became weaker and weaker and couldn't fight the Ruler Realm Expert head on anymore.
It had no choice but to use its trump card to escape.
At this point, all of the beasts around it had already been cleaned out, so it couldn't use them as shields.
The golden crow suddenly spat out a golden crystal that released a powerful aura.
This was the special item that it had been given by the powerful Rulers of the Beast Race. This golden crystal contained laws that far surpassed the level of this golden crow.
But before it could crack it open, there was a powerful dark spear that flew out at it.
At the same time, the Ruler Realm Expert also used a powerful attack to pinch it in so that it didn't have anywhere to run.
So before the golden crow could use it, it was slammed in between the two attacks and ripped apart to pieces. The golden crystal was just left there floating in the middle of space.
Even though the body of the golden crow had been destroyed, the Ruler Realm Expert wasn't idle at all as he released his domain in the area that the golden crow had been in.
At the same time, there was another Ruler Realm Expert that revealed themselves and used their domain in the same location.
It didn't take long before an almost invisible figure appeared.
This figure had the same shape as the golden crow from before.
When it was revealed, the golden crow revealed a look of panic and started to run. However, it couldn't move at all as it was being restrained by the domains that had been released around it.
The two Ruler Realm Experts focused their domains on the almost invisible figure of the golden crow and it started deforming.
As the domains crashed down onto it, the golden crow shouted, "No, not like this! I can't die like this!"
This almost invisible figure of the golden crow was the soul of the golden crow.
Once one reached the Soul Realm, as long as their soul survived, they would be able to reform their body.
This was taken a step further when one reached the World Realm since one's soul would be much stronger, so they would be able to recover much sooner than those in the Soul Realm.
As for those in the Dao Realm, as long as even a fragment of their soul existed, they would be able to reform themselves one day. That was what happened when they started integrating the laws of the world into themselves, making themselves a part of the laws of the world.
What the two Ruler Realm Experts were doing now was using their domains to completely destroy the soul of the golden crow.
Once this soul was completely destroyed, the golden crow would be dead.
The death of a Ruler was not something taken lightly since it was hard to kill Rulers in the first place.
The death of this golden crow would surely be a large blow to the Beast Race.
But there would be no blame placed with the death of this golden crow.
Normally, the death of a Ruler was something that would have irreparable consequences since this was something that concerned the fate of a race as a whole. So if there was a Ruler of a race that died, they would take immediate action against the ones that killed that Ruler.
But it was the Beast Race who had invaded the Lin Astral Empire this time.
They were the ones who had already instigated a war, so there was nothing wrong with the Lin Astral Empire killing a Ruler.
What could they do? Start another war?
Even if they wanted to take revenge, if they moved too many of their experts to the Lin Astral Empire, the other races in different places would take advantage of this and attack them.
So there were no consequences in killing this golden crow this time.
This was the result of war.
With a final cry, the soul of the golden crow was shattered to pieces and it finally died.
With that final cry, the Beast Race troops that had surrounded Lin Fan's ship were all taken out.
Seeing this from inside the ship, the remnants of the third army broke out in cheers.
That was because they recognized the people who were outside.
They could recognize the banners and flags of the fourth and eighth army.
These were the reinforcements that had been sent to save them.
This was also why Lin Fan hadn't been worried when the golden crow wanted to attack his ship with its full power.
The sensors of the ship were much more developed than the senses of a normal expert, so it was able to sense things much further than normal experts. That included the golden crow that wasn't able to sense the approaching Ruler Realm Expert.
However, Lin Fan was able to sense the Ruler Realm Expert approaching as soon as the golden crow appeared, which was why he wasn't worried the entire time.
Once the beasts had been taken care of, there was a ship that came over and stopped in front of Lin Fan's ship. This ship docked with Lin Fan's ship before a group came over to Lin Fan's ship.
When the airlock opened and the group came out, Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile.
That was because the leader of this group, as he had expected, was Lin Jian.
Lin Jian didn't have a good look on his face, but that wasn't strange since Lin Fan had snuck off to save Lin Ao in the first place.
But he didn't scold Lin Fan right away and instead went to check on Lin Ao.
After seeing that Lin Ao was missing an arm, he deeply knitted his brows. He immediately turned to the medical squad behind him and said, "Heal him."
This group immediately nodded and came over to help Lin Ao.
This medical squad was the best medical squad in the eighth army and each member of this squad was someone with life laws, so there was no problem with taking care of Lin Ao. It might even be considered overkill for this entire squad to take care of Lin Ao alone.
Lin Ao also knew this, so he said, "You don't all need to help me. Go and help the others in the medical bay, they need it more than I do."
The medical squad hesitantly looked at Lin Jian with a slight look of entreaty in their eyes.
After all, even if they were from different armies, they knew that the medical bay had the remnants of the eighth army. They were all people from the Lin Astral Empire, so they wanted to help these people too.
Lin Jian nodded in response to this as he revealed a look of praise for Lin Ao before turning back to Lin Fan.
When he turned back to look at Lin Fan, his eyes became stern again.
Lin Fan just stood there with a bitter smile on his face.
After a long silence, Lin Jian said, "Explain yourself."
Lin Fan said with the same bitter smile, "Well, it's a long story…"
Lin Jian didn't say anything as he kept looking at Lin Fan with the same stern look.
Lin Fan gave a sigh before telling him what had happened.
Lin Jian had the same stern look the entire time as he listened to Lin Fan's story.
Once Lin Fan was done, he finally changed his expression by giving a sigh and saying, "You really are too reckless, I really don't know where you get it from." But then after looking at Lin Ao, he said with a sigh, "No, I do know where you get it from."
Lin Fan just revealed another bitter smile when he heard this.
After complaining to himself for a bit, Lin Jian said, "Alright, that's the end of that." He looked at Lin Fan with a serious look and said, "You can go back now, right?"
Lin Fan was caught off guard when he heard this, but he gave a nod in response to this.
Lin Jian nodded too before saying, "Since you're done here, take Ao'er and Yue'er back to the capital with you. We'll say that you were evacuating the injured soldiers from the eighth army, that should be a good enough excuse."
Lin Fan nodded again in agreement to this.
He had already finished his mission by saving Lin Ao, he could see that in the system panel.
Since he had finished the mission, there was no need for him to stay on the battlefield anymore.
He was lucky this time, but he could be unlucky next time and lose his life.
There was no reason for him to risk his life like this when all he needed to do to get stronger was stay in the shop.
So he had no reason to stay here any longer.
After this was settled, Lin Jian turned to leave.
There were still the Beast Race forces that were waiting for him out there, so he was planning on heading out with the fourth army again that had come to rescue Lin Fan.
However, before he went, Lin Fan suddenly remembered something.
