Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
One hundred and twenty-eight beams of light rose from the ground, turning into points of flowing light that plummeted rapidly like fireworks!
The oppressive layer of clouds was torn open, and soft, bright moonlight poured down as gentle as water.
The Green Beetle Needles turned into specks of spiritual light, like fireflies in a vast black mist. Though not imposing, they were extremely sharp, piercing through the darkness!
Each needle was incredibly nimble, piercing through the foreheads of the rampaging demon beasts, tearing through flesh and bone, absolutely invincible!
The east wind blows open a thousand trees of flowers at night, blowing down a rain of stars.
The giant, hissing snake shrieked and crashed to the ground.
The mountain demons still had grins plastered on their faces as they died.
The yakshas, who had been devouring humans and chewing on their bones, plunged headfirst into the ground.
A grey peacock that had been fighting humans lost the light in its eyes.
The incredibly bloated green-faced ghosts, nourished by their victims, suddenly fell straight back.
The giant earthworms that had been harvesting lives were pinned firmly to death inside a massive crater.
These rampaging demon beasts and ghosts collapsed with a loud crash before they could even struggle.
In the blink of an eye, the roles of hunter and prey were reversed for the demon beasts that had been harvesting human lives.
As the azure streaks of light flew past, the demon beasts collapsed row by row like wheat being harvested or dominoes falling. Their deaths were sudden and bizarre.
The demon beasts that had been invincible before humans suddenly became ants that could be crushed at will.
“Look! Look! Look at that!”
The reporter stared at the lens, her entire body trembling violently with excitement as she screamed in disbelief:
“Is it a laser weapon?! No, wait, it's... it's a tiny needle!!”
The trajectory of the azure light was captured by the camera and zoomed in, vaguely revealing its true form.
It was just a single, jade-like, warm azure embroidery needle.
It looked delicate and harmless.
Yet, such a small and beautiful thing easily pierced through the hides of these ghosts and demons that even bullets could not penetrate, instantly ending the lives of a hundred colossal beasts.
It was terrifying.
This was a one-sided slaughter of the demon beasts!
Just what kind of mighty power was this?
...
“Boom...”
“Boom, boom, boom—”
“Boom—”
In the blink of an eye, the tide of battle turned. The great demons were slain, leaving only a few scattered minor ghosts fleeing. The local forces finally got a chance to catch their breath and launched an immediate counterattack!
On screen, gunfire lit up the sky and artillery rumbled continuously.
The entire battlefield against the demon beasts completely reversed its decline, and earth-shattering cheers erupted everywhere.
The reporter felt her blood boiling, a wave of numbness washing from her fingers to her wrists.
She grabbed the cameraman's shoulder and roared with the loudest voice she could muster in her life:
“Quick! Track those needles and find them! Where are they coming from—”
She had a premonition that as long as she could capture a key photo, next year's journalism award would definitely be hers!
The helicopter hovered over Manggu. Looking down from high above, she witnessed yet another highly unbelievable scene:
Over a hundred azure jade needles, bathed in the moonlight, flew with extreme nimbleness toward the tallest landmark building in all of Manggu.
A figure stood at the edge of the skyscraper, facing the howling night wind. With her bare face turned toward the sky, she watched the azure streaks of light rise rapidly, turning into specks of starlight before falling into her embrace.
It looked like falling stars hanging upside down, or a galaxy flowing upward, brilliant and romantic.
Amidst the neon background and scattered ruins, someone stood at the highest point, gathering thousands of starlight rays into her hands.
The azure light took lives as the shooting stars fell.
Several figures flashed past the camera.
Yet, under the high-definition lens, they could be seen clearly.
Leading them was a tall, slender Huaxia woman with an extraordinary temperament.
She wore the grey suit custom-made for the exchange delegation. Her facial features were sharply defined, and her skin was as white as jade, naturally exuding an ethereal grace that set her apart from ordinary people.
Behind her stood three men and three women, all with Huaxia faces.
The seven of them stood at the highest point. Before them lay the battlefield of demon beasts filled with raging gunfire, and around them were waves of thunderous cheers.
Their figures were firmly etched against the backdrop of the ruins, free and elegant, completely out of place with their surroundings.
As the azure needles were retrieved, the woman turned and said something to the others.
A strangely shaped wooden flying device appeared in midair. The seven of them jumped onto the flying boat together, vanishing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
It was the Huaxia practitioners who killed these monsters!!
Huaxia really has a cultivation culture!
The reporter's scream was practically squeezed out of her throat. She felt her entire body trembling, and the adrenaline rushing through her made her heart pound wildly:
“Quick, broadcast the footage we just took! Contact headquarters. I want to do a live exposé—no, a whole exposé program dedicated to reporting and documenting this! What, the higher-ups? Tell them to go home, wear diapers, and retire! This is my exclusive report!”
She had a premonition that she was about to become the first reporter in the world to have close contact with Huaxia practitioners!
...
As the situation on the Manggu battlefield underwent a shocking reversal, 37,231 online media outlets around the world frantically reposted the live video, and numerous media platforms reported heavily on the event.
As news updates kept refreshing, even official accounts within Huaxia began real-time broadcasts of the footage.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for Blue Star.
And when foreign media released subsequent videos, the entire event completely set the Blue Star internet ablaze!
「What is this! So cool! Is this a mysterious cultivation organization from Huaxia?!」
「Huaxia people definitely have a conspiracy! They actually possess such terrifying supernatural weapons! And that strange flying vehicle, what is that thing!」
「That thing should be called a 'flying boat.' According to our ancient texts, it is a tool used by practitioners for flight.」
「You're actually explaining it? I'm completely dumbfounded right now. I just woke up and someone told me that people from our Huaxia went to Tailande to save the world, and I still didn't believe it.」
「OMG! Huaxia kung fu is real! They can really fly and become gods!」
「So cool, so cool, so cool! What on earth is that thing? A precise strike, instant kill!」
「Slaying a horde of demons with a wave of a hand—that has to be at least a Nascent Soul Ancestor. Anyone want to go apprentice under them with me?」
「A Nascent Soul Ancestor, terrifyingly powerful.」
「Can someone explain how powerful this thing actually is?」
「Probably equivalent to a human mobile missile? One with auto-aim, auto-retrieval, and infinite casts?」
「Even bullets can't pierce the skulls of those demon beasts, yet it poked through them like stabbing tofu. Not only is it a precision strike, but it can also be automatically retrieved. Isn't this way more awesome than rocket recovery technology??」
「I'm completely stunned, seriously. Just now, a classmate from Yindu showed me the video, and I thought it was some game's CG trailer.」
「Those aren't official government personnel. I heard they're from the Demon Suppression Division, and their seniority is quite high. I can't say more than that. Those who know, know.」
「The Demon Suppression Division? Does that place really exist? I thought my grand-master was lying to me.」
「Oh my god, the Huaxia people actually possess such terrifying technology. I strongly demand that it be made public to the world!」
「Aigoo, these people aren't necessarily from Huaxia. We in the Kimchi Nation look very similar to Huaxia people. Just looking at their appearance, such beautiful people must definitely be mountain gods of the Kimchi Nation!」
「Stop arguing. Your mountain gods are probably chewing on spicy cabbage somewhere right now. Didn't you see they were wearing the exchange delegation's suits? Keep arguing and we'll cut off your cabbage exports.」
「Incredible! Cultivation has to be this satisfying! I've already started cultivating. Just wait for me to crush those monsters in the future!」
「A Nascent Soul Ancestor, terrifyingly powerful.」
「A Nascent Soul Ancestor, terrifyingly powerful.」
「Does anyone know the identity of this powerful “cultivator”? Why can't I find any information about them on Wikipedia?」
「Stop joking around. This is a cultivator. Do you think they're some domestic entertainment star? It has to be kept secret.」
「Tailande has already begun post-disaster reconstruction. It seems the United Nations plans to step in.」
「Our motherland's evacuation warships have already headed over. With a Nascent Soul Ancestor crushing demon beasts in front and steel warships escorting them in the back, this is simply a double dose of satisfaction!」
「Just imagine, in the future, cultivators will be fighting and snatching resources in the front while warships escort them in the back—how awesome is that!」
Comments poured in continuously, and hot searches trended non-stop both domestically and internationally. The network almost crashed, forcing the network maintenance department of a certain tech giant to work overtime for seven consecutive days.
With the Huaxia cultivators partially revealing themselves to the world, many realized that from this moment on, the battle between Blue Star and demon beasts had officially begun.
...
The external chaos actually had little to do with Nan Zhi.
With the government stepping in, even though foreign media exposed Nan Zhi's photos, her related information was still kept tightly under wraps.
But no wall is completely windproof.
Her phone was blown up with calls overnight.
