Chapter 1636 Red Meteor
The roaring sound continued to echo as Lin Qiye’s gaze swept across the surroundings. Apart from the rear wing, the army was being attacked from three different directions.
Fortunately, Huo Qubing had recruited many extraordinary warriors in recent years who were able to fend off the attacks in time. Although there was some chaos in the army, there were no large-scale casualties.
In the center of the army, the young general mounted on a white horse slowly raised his hand. Shadows of “Mysteries” flew out from the void behind him. Wherever the battle situation was intense, he would dispatch these “Mystery” troops there, creating an overwhelming advantage.
The “Mysteries” attacking the army were continuously killed, with blood and bones covering the ground. Such a number of casualties directly intimidated those “Mysteries” still hiding in the darkness, making them hesitant to act rashly.
After weathering the first wave of attacks, fewer and fewer “Mysteries” dared to strike at them, giving everyone a chance to catch their breath. They pushed their speed to the limit, with everyone racing madly toward Chang’an.
Fighting all the way, racing all the way, Lin Qiye didn’t know how far they had advanced. He only knew that the Kusanagi sword in his hand had already cut off the heads of dozens of “Mysteries.”
Time passed gradually, and finally, a hint of dawn appeared in the eastern sky.
The “Mysteries” harassing the army from various positions gradually decreased. Seeing this glimpse of dawn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. A night of frantic running had left them exhausted. Once daylight came, these “Mysteries” would become much more docile, at least not launching such fierce attacks as they had the previous night.
Lin Qiye sat on horseback, looking up at the sky. Those crimson stars gradually dimmed with the appearance of dawn, but unlike the previous night, they didn’t completely disappear. Instead, they remained suspended in the sky, emitting faint crimson light.
“Huh?” A soldier’s puzzled voice came from nearby. “Did that star… just have a baby?”
Lin Qiye looked in the direction he was pointing. In a corner of the brightening sky, a crimson star strangely split off a flashing red dot. Then this red dot rapidly expanded in Lin Qiye’s vision, leaving a long trail of flame across the sky.
Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment, then his pupils suddenly contracted!
“This is bad!!”
It wasn’t a star having a baby at all—it was clearly a fragment of a crimson star turning into a meteor and hurtling toward Earth!
As the meteor drew closer, more people noticed the crimson trail streaking across the sky. They curiously pointed at the star, seemingly discussing something.
Although Lin Qiye wasn’t an expert in physics or astronomy, he understood some basic knowledge. Stars appear as stars because the distance between celestial bodies and Earth is far enough—how could a star split into fragments one second and enter the atmosphere creating friction and flames the next?
Those crimson stars were definitely not distant celestial bodies, and ordinary space meteorites floating near Earth wouldn’t emit such bright crimson starlight.
What on earth were those crimson stars?!
“Move quickly! That meteor is flying toward us!” The meteor’s reflection crossed Lin Qiye’s pupils as he immediately shouted.
“That can’t be right, it’s clearly far away from us,” a soldier looked up in confusion.
Lin Qiye had no time to explain to them. Taking a deep breath, his thunderous voice echoed across the land:
“Move!!”
Hearing Lin Qiye’s shout, Huo Qubing, positioned in the center of the army, looked up and his expression immediately turned grim. He promptly gave the order: “Pass down the command, advance at full speed!!”
Under Huo Qubing’s orders, the troops who had just endured a night of escape and were exhausted had to summon their energy again and rush forward frantically.
Lin Qiye rode forward while keeping his eyes fixed on the approaching meteor, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.
“Brother Qiye, is that meteor really coming toward us?” Wu Quan asked in confusion. “That would be too unlucky…”
“Unlucky… huh?”
Lin Qiye didn’t answer. He didn’t believe this was a coincidence at all. What were the odds of an ordinary person being hit by a meteor? How could that strange crimson meteor that had just appeared happen to be heading straight for them?
Over thirty thousand people raced across the land at high speed. The sky was gradually dyed red by the crimson star. The wind blew up dust and fine sand from the ground, and a mysterious pressure rapidly descended from above!
The meteor, friction with the atmosphere, emitted terrifying light and heat. Only then did everyone realize that the meteor was truly aimed at them, and cold sweat broke out profusely!
“Damn it! Why is it still above our heads even though we’ve run so far?” Vice General Zhan Yuwu looked at the continuously expanding crimson meteor, his face extremely grim.
Huo Qubing looked up at the meteor with furrowed brows. After a moment, he suddenly pulled the reins and stopped in place.
Facing the crimson meteor, he slowly extended both hands, and terrifying mental power surged out frantically!
The crimson meteor was extraordinary. No matter how they ran, they couldn’t escape its target range. Since that was the case, he could only use his ability to prevent the meteor from falling!
As Huo Qubing’s mental power surged out, Wu Quan, who was following behind Lin Qiye, also stopped and extended his arms toward the meteor.
Although his level was far below Huo Qubing’s, he could still help a little.
Two auras of [Emperor’s Dominion] soared into the sky, simultaneously locking onto the rapidly falling crimson meteor. The power of dominion filled the meteor’s surface, and fine cracks spread rapidly!
At the same time, the meteor’s falling speed gradually slowed, but it still continued to crash toward the people on the ground with an irreversible momentum!
Just as the crimson meteor was about to hit the ground, a figure suddenly shot up from the surface. Powerful energy gathered in his right fist, tearing the surrounding air with sharp explosions!
“Brother Qiye!” Wu Quan exclaimed when he saw the figure.
Boom——!!!
A visible ring of air waves swept out, knocking down many soldiers below. The cracked crimson meteor instantly shattered. Between the broken stones, colorful hues tumbled out, immediately engulfing Lin Qiye and all the figures below.
The medium of those colors was like mist, yet also like pure light. It flowed across the land, constantly changing colors, giving anyone who looked at it a sense of dizziness and fascination.
Lin Qiye’s figure landed on the ground. Looking at the mysterious prismatic mist that engulfed the surroundings, he detected a familiar scent.
“The scent of aGram-system creature… how is this possible?”
