The determination and persistence of a soldier completely erupted.

Lieutenant General Yu didn’t even bother to look at the attack that was coming toward him, and the longsword in his hand continued to slash at the figure of light.

The attacking tentacles of all shapes and sizes slammed into Lieutenant General Yu’s body, but the sharp tentacle in front of him was instantly cut in half by the longsword.

Although Lieutenant General Yu did not take the initiative to defend against the rest of the attacks, he was still able to block them easily with his armor.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Yu’s sword slashed down, and the surging red energy transformed into an even larger energy blade. With unstoppable momentum, it directly split every figure of light’s shield in half.

The figure of light’s defensive measures was completely unable to block the attack, and Lieutenant General Yu’s blade cleaved him in two.

Everyone watching the battle was stunned, and the powerful strike had completely raised the morale of all the soldiers watching the battle.

“All hail Lieutenant General Yu!”

The entire front line was filled with cheers.

However, Lieutenant General Yu didn’t look happy at all because he could sense the figure of light didn’t die from his attack.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the two halves of the figure of light merged back together as if he had never been injured.

Lieutenant General Yu wasn’t surprised by this. After all, he had already known about this ability from the previous battle.

“I know you can keep self-healing, but every creature has a weakness. I don’t believe you can keep on resurrecting without consuming any energy!” Lieutenant General Yu snorted coldly, and the sword in his hand slashed down again.

The figure of light emitted a strong vibration wave as if it was indicating its anger. At the same time, a large number of tentacles of light threads began to condense back into even harder tentacles of light.

However, Lieutenant General Yu did not care at all and kept slashing without changing his move.

The defensive shield formed by the entwining threads of light could not even withstand a single strike. It was directly split in half by Lieutenant General Yu’s saber, and the threads continued to fall toward the main body.

Just like that, under Lieutenant General Yu’s powerful strength, the figure of light had no ability to resist at all and kept being attacked.

However, Lieutenant General Yu felt that something was wrong. Finally, after trying to kill his enemy dozens of times, he finally stopped and retreated.

As Lieutenant General Yu looked at the re-formed figure of light, he did not have any intention of making another move. His behavior made the people watching the battle below confused.

He had held the whip hand, so why did they suddenly stop attacking?

Lieutenant General Yu narrowed his eyes as if he was thinking about something and glanced at the unmoving monsters below from the corner of his eye.

All of a sudden, an idea came to his mind. After analyzing the current situation, the strategy began to become more and more clear.

“Damn it! I know what’s going on now!”

“Turn on the broadcast mode,” Lieutenant General Yu said in a low voice.

The next moment, Lieutenant General Yu’s voice suddenly rang out on everyone’s watch. “The one I’m facing now is just a clone, not his main body. It’s useless no matter how many times I kill him.”

His words freaked everyone out.

Yan Wuyue and Zhou Mingrui were even more shocked. They had thought that it was the main body of the figure of light, but it turned out that it was not.

[ I told you this guy is more powerful than we thought. Those two were like kittens in his hands when we were in the alternate spatial secret realm, but he seemed pretty weak earlier, ] Zhou Mingrui said angrily.

Then, Lieutenant General Yu’s voice continued to come from the watch, “As for this guy’s main body, I guess it’s very likely to be in one of the monsters below.”

His assumption made everyone present shock. Which monster?

They raised their heads and saw numerous monsters, at least hundreds of thousands of them. Identifying the figure of light would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

“The only way to defeat this guy is to kill all the monsters under his control. I can’t do that, so I need everyone’s help!

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and replied in unison, “Yes, sir!”

[ No, it shouldn’t be like this! ] Zhou Mingrui suddenly said to Yan Wuyue.

[ Well, I don’t think so either. Why would he send these monsters to the front line? Putting these monsters in danger is like digging his own grave, right? ] Yan Wuyue had the same opinion.

[ I have a feeling that he intentionally let us kill these monsters, and there is some kind of scheme behind this,] Zhou Mingrui said in a serious tone.

[ The current situation is indeed a bit similar to what you said, but no one will believe us without concrete evidence. All they want is to get rid of that guy and the beast tide as soon as possible, so they won’t focus on any detail, ] Yan Wuyue said helplessly.

[ I’m afraid it’ll be too late at that point, ] Zhou Mingrui said with a frown.

[ I’ll try. ] Yan Wuyue frowned.

Just as Lieutenant General Yu was about to officially give the order to attack, his watch received a communication request.

Lieutenant General Yu frowned, but he still chose to answer.

“Sir, please give me a few seconds,” Yan Wuyue said.

“You’re that kid from Spector Special Forces, Snow Leopard, right?” Yu Zhongwei knew Yan Wuyue very well.

After all, she was the first to find the target, and it was even her first mission. Apparently, he was rather impressed with her performance.

“Go ahead. I am all ears.” Lieutenant General Yu looked at the figure of light in front of him as if he did not dare to move under his threat.

“Sir, I don’t think he’s hiding in the beast tide. He’s trying to use us to help him complete his body,” Yan Wuyue reminded him.

“What makes you say this?” Lieutenant General Yu asked.

“You still remember my summoned spirit, right? He told me that before he came to our world, he had met a creature similar to this guy. They could control other life forms through their own special characteristics.

“Whatever under these mysterious creatures’ control dies, they could absorb part of the energy. Everything makes sense, right?” Yan Wuyue explained.

“Your summoned spirit said that?” Lieutenant General Yu asked, puzzled.

“Yes, sir. We don’t have any more evidence to prove it, but we just hope that you can think it over before making a decision,” Yan Wuyue said seriously.

“I’m sorry.” Lieutenant General Yu, however, shook his head. “The information you’re giving me now is not enough to change my mind. I hope you can understand that as someone in this position, I can’t fulfill everyone’s wish.”
