Yi Xuan Meets His End
Hai Yue had already noticed it when the mechanical octopus descended from the sky.
As he watched the dense swarms of mechanical octopuses fall into the city, Hai Yue's expression grew even more grim.
At the same time, the various generals of the defending troops also sent him messages, reporting that their troops had encountered mechanical octopuses and were currently fighting against them.
The mechanical octopus poses no challenge to ordinary Sea Clan soldiers, often defeating them one by one with its octopus legs. Some octopuses have even strung three or four Sea Clan soldiers onto their legs.
However, the mechanical octopus loses its advantage when facing Sea Clan soldiers in the Qi Refining Realm; in fact, high-level Qi Refining cultivators can even murderous intent octopus single-handedly.
Not to mention the cultivators above the Foundation Establishment in the city's defense forces, the mechanical octopuses were utterly powerless against them, and each attack could take away dozens of them.
However, Yi Xuan didn't care about this situation.
The mechanical octopus was originally created to enable a swarm of fish tactics. Yi Xuan did not expect the mechanical octopus to have strong attack power, but followed the principle that many ants can kill an elephant.
While drastically reducing costs, they desperately increased the production of mechanical octopuses.
So even though the troops below are inflicting increasing damage on the mechanical octopuses, the mechanical octopuses surging out of the black hole above North Wave City show no signs of stopping.
If you look closely, you'll notice that the remains of the destroyed mechanical octopuses are secretly dragged away by some mechanical octopuses. This means that even after fighting for half a day, the ground is covered with the corpses of the Sea Clan and scattered mechanical octopus parts.
Although Hai Yue appeared expressionless upon hearing the report from the city's garrison commander, he was extremely anxious inside.
As time went on, he had fewer and fewer Nascent Soul Cultivator left to fight, and eventually, when the last few saw that their side was doomed, they surrendered without resistance.
Seeing the fighting spirit in Xing Qi's eyes below, Hai Yue took out his Law Artifact, a long spear, from his Storage Bag.
Xing Qi understood that the upcoming battle would determine the future of North Wave City and East Yan City; if they won, he would simultaneously take control of both cities.
If I lose, I will return to the embrace of the Sea God.
However, that old bastard Hai Yue won't have a good ending either. Even if he wins, Yi Xuan will still intervene.
Thinking about it this way, Xing Qi even began to feel sorry for Hai Yue. He never imagined that the old man would die no matter what.
Hai Yue then saw the pity in Xing Qi's eyes and immediately attacked Xing Qi in a fit of rage.
Faced with the imminent attack, Xing Qi immediately took out his halberd from his Storage Bag and parried the opponent's spear.
The attacks of the two masters naturally had a very serious impact on the surrounding area. Their all-out clash even caused the city lord's mansion to shake, and some of the buildings that had been attacked earlier collapsed directly.
The surrounding group of Nascent Soul were also impacted to varying degrees. Some of them, who were already injured, suffered further damage from the impact and coughed up blood.
This wasn't Xing Qi's first time experiencing Hai Yue's spear technique. As city lords, and with their cities so close to each other, some conflicts were inevitable over the years.
Both sides were well aware of each other's strength, so although the fight was going back and forth, both knew that they couldn't defeat each other in a short time.
After parrying Hai Yue's spear attack once again, Xing Qi's expression wasn't too good, because he noticed that Haiyue's strength seemed to have increased considerably since their last encounter.
The two had already exchanged hundreds of blows, and the opponent was beginning to show signs of suppressing him, which was not a good sign.
Seeing Hai Yue, brimming with fighting spirit, press forward once again, Xing Qi had no choice but to step forward and meet the attack. At the same time, he secretly transmitted some instructions to his subordinates.
Meanwhile, Yi Xuan had arrived a thousand meters away from where the two were fighting, and was watching the battle between the two Spirit Transformation Realm experts with great interest.
Compared to the three Nascent Spirit Transformation from the Blood Asura Gate before, this can be said to be the first time Yi Xuan has truly witnessed a battle between Spirit Transformation experts.
After all, in the previous battle against the master, the opponent didn't even have time to unleash his full potential before being sent away by Yi Xuan's DF Express.
Watching the two Nascent Soul masters clashing and causing the seawater within a kilometer radius to churn violently, Yi Xuan gained a clear understanding of Spirit Transformation masters.
At the same time, he made up his mind that if he encountered an enemy at the Spirit Transformation level or above in the future, he would immediately launch a barrage of attacks and never give the opponent a chance to make a move.
Yi Xuan was just an outsider watching the spectacle, but Xing Qi was suffering more and more as the battle progressed. Hai Yue on the other side seemed to be on steroids, fighting with increasing ferocity. At this point, Xing Qi was actually starting to lose ground.
On several occasions, Hai Yue's spear even broke through his True Qi, grazing his clothes and nearly piercing his body.
Hai Yue, however, was full of confidence. He even had a feeling that he didn't need to wait for East Yan City's support.
If Xing Qi were captured now, the remaining Nascent Soul would be nothing more than a dish to him, easily annihilated with a wave of his hand.
Yi Xuan's puppet is a bit troublesome, but the previous mechanical shark should only have Nascent Soul combat power, so it shouldn't be a match for me.
With this in mind, Hai Yue's attacks became even more ruthless.
However, he failed to notice that the positions of the Nascent Soul Cultivator surrounding the two combatants had become remarkably regular.
Once again, Xing Qi repelled Hai Yue's spear and retreated, landing in the center of the group of Nascent Soul.
Upon seeing this, the excitement on Hai Yue's face from the battle vanished instantly, because he then realized that the Nascent Soul under Xing Qi's command had formed a subtle array.
When Xing Qi entered, he activated the formation, and an overwhelming pressure rendered him unable to move.
The formation consisted of dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, with Xing Qi, a Spirit Transformation expert, serving as its core.
Don't even mention that Hai Yue is just a Spirit Transformation cultivator; even Body Integration Cultivator wouldn't gain anything from being trapped.
Seeing that Hai Yue was unable to move due to the formation set up by Xing Qi and others, Yi Xuan piloted the Black Tortoise to the outside of the formation.
It's you!
Upon seeing the exaggerated design of the Black Tortoise, Hai Yue immediately recognized Yi Xuan.
Yi Xuan's voice also came from the Black Tortoise: "City Lord Hai, you are indeed a remarkable person. You can even tolerate the hatred of killing your son, and you even came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone, bringing City Lord Xing into the game, and even taking over East Yan City in the end! It's just a pity that I had your plan under control from the very beginning!"
Upon hearing Yi Xuan's words, Hai Yue's face darkened further, but a moment later, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
Xing Qi saw this and knew something was wrong. Just as he was about to use the formation to kill his opponent, he heard the sound of a sharp blade cutting through metal behind him.
Turning around, I saw a small, thin figure crouching behind the Black Tortoise, holding a dagger.
Immediately afterwards, the upper body of the Black Tortoise split open directly from the chest.
As the upper body of the Black Tortoise fell, Yi Xuan's head also fell out, rolled a few times, and landed right at Xing Qi's feet.
(The End, Hooray!)
