Powerful Garrison (2)

The ground cracked under the massive impact, like a porcelain plate being shattered by a hammer.

The originally soft soil was now being flung up by this force, hitting Li Wei like bullets and tearing Li Wei clothes. Fortunately, Li Wei was surrounded by true qi, so he was not injured.

"Are you kidding me?!" Li Wei's eyes widened, a sense of relief washing over him.

If he had just been hit by the opponent, even with the defense of the Dragon Whisker Armor, Li Wei believed that his body would have been shattered into pieces; that was purely a gut feeling.

"It might have a force of hundreds of thousands of kilograms!"

Just as I landed, another giant fist came hurtling down.

This time, Li Wei had no choice but to draw his Black Spiral Sword and unleash a powerful sword aura to meet the attack head-on.

Bang!

A tremendous crash erupted, sending sand flying everywhere and raging sword energy scattering all around. Li Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he had managed to block the attack.

In terms of sheer strength, Li Wei knew he was far inferior. However, the power of the Blazing Sword Qi lay in its single-point destructive force, much like using a sharp cone to pierce an iron hammer.

The final result was that Li Wei's sword energy shattered one of the Giant Sand Demon's fists.

However, Li Wei also knew that he couldn't kill the opponent with just this one move. The Sand Demon's body was made of sand grains, which were extremely malleable. Because of this, it could quickly regenerate any part of its body with sand grains.

This body structure is even more powerful than Regeneration; it could be said that unless its weakness is found, this monster is practically immortal.

However, Li Wei was still confident that he could take it down by himself, but the problem was that there was more than just the Giant Sand Demon here.

When the other 10 Sand Scorpion joined the battle, Li Wei instantly felt the pressure.

After the 50 Desert Guard arrived, Li Wei knew he had to resort to a surprise attack, or he would surely be dragged down and killed here.

"Web Spell!"

Seizing the opportunity, Li Wei shot out a large swarm of white spider silk at the Giant Sand Demon that was about to throw a punch, instantly enveloping the sand demon.

"You're not afraid of being hit, but aren't your brothers afraid too?" Li Wei knew that the Web Spell would only bind a monster like the Sand Demon for a few seconds, so he had to hurry.

If we can eliminate most of the Sand Scorpion and Desert Guard, we might still be able to win this battle.

As expected, the Giant Sand Demon was trapped by spider silk. Li Wei quickly put on the Ring of the Lord of Destruction and entered a state of Visual Release, maximizing his combat power.

The Black Spiral Sword in his hand seemed to be wrapped in a ball of transparent flame. Li Wei, like a ferocious wolf or a flock of sheep, burrowed into the Sand Scorpion swarm and killed a Sand Scorpion with a single slash.

The hard outer shell shattered, revealing viscous insect fluid and internal organs inside, but the flames attached to the sword turned them into a wisp of vaporizing air.

Then came the second, the third... Level 2 creatures were still no match for Li Wei. Each sword strike took the life of a monster, and in less than two seconds, the ground was littered with the remains of Sand Scorpion.

Perhaps feeling that the speed was not fast enough, Li Wei simply compressed all his true energy into the sword, and then used the True Qi-Controlling Formula to divide it into hundreds of sword lights. From a distance, it looked like a huge fire ring spreading rapidly, enveloping most of the Sand Scorpion and Desert Guard.

The Web Spell lost its effectiveness after binding the Giant Sand Demon for five minutes, but by then more than nine Sand Scorpion and forty Desert Guard had perished on the spot, turning into a pile of charred, black corpses.

At this moment, Li Wei used the last of his strength to hide behind a rock more than 1 meter high, panting heavily. The fire ring attack had consumed too much of his true energy, but fortunately, he had achieved his goal. The remaining Sand Scorpion and a few Desert Guard could no longer cause any trouble.

Next, all you need to do is wait for your inner energy to recover, then you can jump out and kill the remaining enemies.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened to Li Wei.

At the spot where he had just released the fire ring, suddenly more than a dozen orbs of light flashed, revealing a group of menacing-looking people. Li Wei glanced at them and quickly shrank back.

The group of people who suddenly appeared were the same group of escaped convicts who had been on the hill earlier.

A few minutes ago, this group of guys crossed the gravel area and arrived at the city gate. The third one, who was a reincarnator, noticed a prompt asking whether to join the 'battle space' after touching the city gate.

Confident in his own abilities, he naturally chose to agree.

So, like Li Wei, they were drawn into this battle space. Coincidentally, they ran into Giant Sand Demon that was still furious and looking for a scapegoat! When it saw this group of people, it was stunned for a moment, then roared and charged forward, swinging its huge sand fist to smash them.

A sudden attack like this would catch anyone off guard.

Instantly, two unlucky crystal warriors were struck by the sand fist and turned into a bloody mess. The rest reacted quickly, spreading out and unleashing their skills to fight the sand demon.

Li Wei, who was hiding behind the rock, sat quietly, recovering his inner energy.

Since acquiring the inner core, there have been very few situations where true energy is insufficient, unless releasing a great sword move; otherwise, the inner core ensures a continuous supply of true energy.

Li Wei had already identified the group of people who had just appeared. One of them was a C3-level reincarnator, and the rest were warriors who had been modified by magic crystals.

Clearly, they are also competitors vying for control of Sand City.

But why are these people here? Does it mean that anyone who wants to seize control of Sand City is sent to this space after passing through the city gates?

Li Wei couldn't understand it. According to common sense, he could gain control of the city by defeating the monsters guarding Sand City. However, nothing is absolute, and what was happening at this moment deviated from this rule.

After summoning the Yellow Paper, Li Wei discovered the following message: "In the battle for Sand City, there will only be one winner. The victory condition is to obtain the City Lord's Crest dropped by the guard monsters!"

City Lord's Crest?

Li Wei remembered clearly that the guards he had just killed did not drop the City Lord's Crest, so there was only one explanation: the City Lord's Crest was on the Giant Sand Demon.

Glancing at the ongoing battle, Li Wei realized that these people were quite capable, especially the three leaders. One was skilled with Firearms Mastery, another was strong and resembled a black bear, and the last one, the reincarnator, was wielding a silver willow-leaf knife and leading a skeleton in an attack on the Sand Demon.

The skeleton wielded Sharp Axe, moving with incredible speed; each strike sent a cloud of sand flying.

"It's Summon Skeleton from the Legend World!" With his Eye of Perception, Li Wei saw through the skeleton's true nature.

The Giant Sand Demon was put on the defensive under the group's siege. In particular, one of the dark crystal warriors had the ability to spray a large ball of water, which, although not very powerful, proved surprisingly effective against the sand demon.

When sand meets water, it loses its original fluidity. If the wet area is attacked again, the sand demon can no longer quickly restore it to its original state.

Unexpectedly, this group stumbled upon the Sand Demon's weakness, and it seems that the Sand Demon will soon meet its end here.

Seeing this, Li Wei was extremely anxious. If these people got their hands on the City Lord's Crest, it would be a real problem. Fortunately, his inner core was constantly restoring his true energy, so he could just forcibly seize it if necessary.

The battle continued, and another magic crystal warrior was smashed into a bloody pulp. At this moment, the Giant Sand Demon, which was soaked in water, was also at its last gasp. Finally, under the leaping slash of the Summon Skeleton, the Giant Sand Demon sand demon turned into a pile of fine sand and could no longer regain its fighting strength.

The remaining Sand Scorpion and Desert Guard were quickly eliminated by the group. At this moment, Li Wei suddenly jumped out from behind the rock and headed straight for the corpse of the Giant Sand Demon.

"Quick, stop him!"

The third brother, realizing what was happening, shouted loudly. He never dreamed that another person would rush out at this moment. What was he going to do?

How could Li Wei let those magic crystal warriors stop him? He leaped a few times and arrived beside the sand demon's corpse, reached out and struck it, then a smile appeared on his lips.

"Got it!"

Li Wei pulled his hand out of the sand, and an ancient iron emblem appeared in his palm.

"Damn it, that's the City Lord's Crest! Big brother, second brother, kill him right now, or else..."

Before the third brother's roar had even finished, the entire battle space twisted, because the City Lord's Crest already had an owner, so the battle space no longer needed to exist.

The next second, everyone was pulled out of this space, and when their vision returned, they were already outside Sand City.

"Congratulations! You have gained control of Sand City No. 47. You can now build the city according to your own wishes. Currently, Sand City's status is Level 0, with no troops stationed there. Upgrading to Level 1 Sand City requires 500,000 points, 100 Level 1 Magic Crystals, 15 Level 2 Magic Crystals..."

Li Wei sneered inwardly when he saw the message on the Yellow Paper.

In the end, he obtained the City Lord's Crest himself. Touching the city gate again, Li Wei was directly teleported into the city by a beam of white light, leaving only a group of dumbfounded people outside the city gate.

"Damn! Third brother, what happened?" The two leaders of the trio stared blankly at the vanished Li Wei, rubbing their eyes.

"We've been tricked, you bastard! I'm going to kill that bastard!" The third brother completely lost his composure and fell into a rage.

Anyone would be furious if a city was snatched away just as they were about to acquire it.

"Break down the city gate! I'll tear his tendons and skin him alive!" The third brother commanded, Summon Skeleton to fiercely attack the city gate. The eldest and second brothers, along with the other magic crystal warriors, also unleashed their abilities to attack the gate.

However, the gates of Sand City seemed to be protected by an invisible shield. No matter how they attacked, they remained unmoved, not even a layer of paint was knocked off.

"That's right, that's right, we can still launch a siege! As long as we enter that battle space again, we can kill that person and seize the City Lord's Crest!" The third brother rushed forward with hope, pressing his palm against the door, but the information he received made him pause.

An expression of disbelief crossed his face.

"This... how is this possible?"
