By this point in the battle, the situation on Wang Jixuan's side had generally gone quite smoothly.
They had easily lured the Beast Speaker underground. The Buddha Hall Squad deployed the Seven Star Sword Array, while Wang Jixuan launched a sneak attack from the side, leaving the Beast Speaker to die in a most stifled manner.

The battles ahead would be extremely difficult.
Black Shell tried persuading Wang Jixuan once more, hoping he would stay with the Half-Human Mech Group and pilot a mecha on
