Chapter 416: Chapter 416 The Battle Changes

The aliens were forced to dodge and Lu Hao saw another opening to attack.

Lightning erupted outward once again.

One alien was hit directly and stumbled backwards.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhen had already targeted the alien leader again.

His flames grew darker. Crimson-purple fire wrapped around his body.

Even the surrounding air seemed to distort from the terrifying heat.

“Since you seem to enjoy such battles, let’s see how much you like this.” He said as a massive sphere of crimson flame condensed above his palm.

The surrounding temperature skyrocketed. Even the clouds above them began to evaporate.

Below the battlefield, many fighters subconsciously looked up.

Lu Zhen thrust his hand forward and a flaming sphere shot forward like a small sun.

“Let’s see how that shield holds up.” He said as he watched the flame approach the alien leader.

Just like before, the leader extended his hand and a purple barrier appeared in front of him.

The fireball collided with the shield.

BOOOOOOM!

The explosion shook the entire sky.

Shockwaves blasted outward, scattering clouds for kilometers.

Everything seemed to disappear in a blinding light for a moment.

When the flames finally disappeared, the alien was still in the same place, but his shield was gone.

Lu Zhen couldn’t tell whether he was injured or not, but that didn’t matter very much now.

They had to find a way to end the battle quickly.

The dragons roared as they dived into enemy ranks.

One dragon slammed its tail into several aliens, sending them crashing into the ground.

The other unleashed a torrent of flames that forced several aliens back while others were ignited and burned to ashes.

Even though the flames spat by Lu Zhen’s dragon weren’t as hot as those of its master, they were still hotter than ordinary flames.

On the ground, the human fighters were working in perfect coordination, just like before.

Every ability was being used to its maximum potential.

But unfortunately, more aliens kept coming out of the portal no matter how many they killed.

Some fighters were injured and others had already lost their lives.

Shade, Lu Zhen’s wolf had been given the task of taking the injured people out of the battlefield and back to the base.

For the severely injured ones, they were taken back directly for treatment. And as for those who had minor injuries or were just exhausted, they stayed a distance away where they took spiritual spring water that Leng Pan had provided mixes with herbs to recover fast.

For superpower users, they also absorbed crystal cores before rejoining the battle again.

Seeing this, Leng Pan’s eyes darkened.

If this continued, the battle would eventually turn into a war of attrition.

However, they didn’t have the resources to last that long. Especially, human resources.

Her mind raced quickly, then as if thinking of something, she raised her head and looked at the portal.

And a realization flashed in her eyes.

“If the portal closes…”

The reinforcements would stop. And she didn’t believe that the aliens could open another one casually.

Leng Pan’s gaze sharpened instantly as she moved to fight close to Lu Zhen.

“Hubby, let’s change the target.” She said with her eyes fixed on the portal.

Lu Zhen immediately understood what she meant.

“Everyone.” His voice echoed across the battlefield.

“Hold back the enemy. We are going to destroy that portal.”

The moment Lu Zhen’s order echoed across the battlefield, everyone understood the implication.

Destroy the portal.

If the portal remained open, the aliens could continue sending reinforcements endlessly. No matter how strong the human fighters were, they would eventually be overwhelmed.

But if the portal was destroyed.

The invasion here would be cut off.

The fighters below immediately shifted their focus. Instead of pursuing kills recklessly, they began locking down enemy movements.

Earth ability users raised thick walls of stone and pillars that forced the aliens into narrower spaces. Metal ability users launched chains and steel spikes to slow them down.

Fire and water ability users created overlapping attacks that forced the aliens into defensive formations.

The battlefield became a massive containment zone.

Their mission now was very simple, to buy time.

Leng Pan even deployed the spiritual plant Lu Zhen had tamed for her. The vines extended from the ground as they shot into the sky and wrapped around the aliens who had left the portal forcing them down to the ground.

Some of the vines turned into sharp weapons that pierced the exposed spots on the aliens’ bodies like the neck. Killing them instantly.

High above them, Leng Pan’s dragon roared and surged toward the portal like a streak of blue lightning.

Leng Pan hadn’t expected that the dragon she had accidentally created could move at such a fast speed.

Beside her, Lu Zhen shot forward wrapped in blazing crimson flames while Lu Hao moved like a bolt of golden thunder.

The three of them formed a triangular assault formation.

Their target was very clear, the portal.

However, the alien leader wasn’t stupid. The moment he realized their plan, its expression finally darkened.

“Intercept them.”

Its voice echoed through the minds of every alien soldier.

Immediately, ten aliens who had just entered the battlefield from the portal rushed forward to block their path.

The first alien reached Lu Zhen within seconds.

Purple energy surged from its armor as it launched a gravity distortion field. The air suddenly grew heavy.

But after experiencing it several times, Lu Zhen had already anticipated it.

He thrust both hands forward. Two blazing fire spears erupted from his palms and shot toward the alien like missiles.

BOOM!

The alien raised its shield, but the impact blasted it backward several meters.

Before it could recover, Lu Zhen appeared directly in front of it.

His flaming sword descended and

CRACK!

Its shield shattered.

The blade cleaved through its armor and split its body in half.

Meanwhile, Lu Hao had already entered the center of the interception force.

Golden lightning erupted from his body like a living storm.
