The Dead Yi Xuan
Looking at the head at his feet, Xing Qi couldn't help but swallow hard.
What exactly happened? Just an hour ago, this powerful figure used a method he couldn't understand to make him completely immobile.
But in the blink of an eye, he was stabbed?
And they were the kind of people who had absolutely no ability to resist.
As for the thin figure with his back to everyone, he vanished without a trace after killing Yi Xuan.
When it reappeared, it was already at the edge of the formation, where the Nascent Soul Cultivator were maintaining the formation were greatly surprised to see the figure suddenly appear before them.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the dagger in the man's hand suddenly trace countless trajectories in the air.
Each trajectory that lands on the great formation causes it to tremble, and this continues as more and more trajectories fall.
The Nascent Soul Cultivator discovered that the frequency of the vibrations of the protective array in front of him had exceeded the ability of the naked eye to perceive them.
With a loud crash, the great formation in front of the Nascent Soul shattered, creating a hole as tall as a person. At the same time, the trails in the air did not completely disappear; the remaining trails landed directly on him.
The Sea Clan didn't even have a chance to cry for help before collapsing limply to the ground.
As the Sea Clan maintaining the formation perished, the entire formation began to fade and eventually lost its effectiveness.
At the same time, Hai Yue, who was trapped in the middle, felt a lightness on his body, so he quickly raised his spear and attacked Xing Qi, shouting to the thin figure outside, "Shadow, well done! Those Nascent Soul outside are yours. I'll come help you after I take care of Xing Qi!"
"Yes, sir!"
With Hai Yue's command given, the shadow, like a lion entering a flock of sheep, began its slaughter of these Nascent Soul.
Seeing this, Xing Qi's eyes narrowed. While fending off Hai Yue's frenzied attacks, he said incredulously, "Spirit Transformation?"
"Good, now you know why I was able to take East Yan City in such a short time, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xing Qi gave a wry smile.
I never imagined that I thought I knew this opponent I had been fighting with for so many years well enough, but he actually had such a trump card up his sleeve.
Thinking about it this way, Xing Qi even felt that his loss was not unjust.
As Hai Yue's attacks grew increasingly fierce, Xing Qi felt his defenses becoming more and more strained.
Hearing the screams of his men behind him, Xing Qi was momentarily distracted, and the halberd in his hand was actually knocked away by Hai Yue.
In that instant, many thoughts flashed through Xing Qi's mind, from the two cities that Yi Xuan had promised him, to Hai Yue trapped in the formation, to the figure who had just killed Yi Xuan with a single blow, and the fact that his Soul Control.
Thinking of this, Xing Qi, who had already resigned himself to his fate, suddenly opened his eyes and pushed off with his feet to dodge Hai Yue's spear.
He then quickly retreated, shouting, "Retreat!"
More than a dozen of his Nascent Soul had already been killed by Shadow. Although the remaining people began to band together to fight Shadow, at the Spirit Transformation realm, they could no longer be defeated by sheer numbers.
Although they have blocked the shadows for now, it's only a temporary measure. If there's no way to break the deadlock, all the Nascent Soul will eventually die under the shadows' daggers.
Upon hearing Xing Qi's order to retreat, these Nascent Soul almost instantly gave up resistance, and everyone turned and left.
Hai Yue and Yingzi were also caught off guard by Xing Qi's move.
Xing Qi, who had already escaped North Wave City, finally breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the people around him, while keeping his eyes fixed on the black hole in the sky above North Wave City that was still emitting mechanical octopuses.
"Come out! Come out! Come out!"
The people around him, hearing Xing Qi's incessant muttering to himself, dared not disturb him.
But they looked at Xing Qi very strangely, as if he were a lunatic.
Just as someone was about to speak out of impatience, a beam of light descended from the sky.
Seeing that beam of light, Xing Qi felt both familiar and excited.
He felt familiar with it because an hour earlier, he had been enveloped by that pillar of light and dared not move. He was excited because it seemed his guess was correct.
Yi Xuan didn't die at all. Otherwise, as the person Soul Control, why was he completely unaffected after the Soul Control died?
Unlike the previous pillars of light, this one had an exaggeratedly large coverage area, encompassing a 100-meter diameter area centered on Hai Yue and the shadow.
The two people in the center were bathed in golden light by the beam of light.
Although the beam of light did not cause any real harm to the two, they still exchanged a glance and immediately prepared to retreat outside the beam.
But just as they made a move, an even more dazzling beam of light shone directly onto the two of them, following the previous beam.
Xing Qi, standing outside the city, was so blinded by the light bursting from the pillar that he could only squint. Yet, he could still clearly see that as the second pillar of light fell, the two figures within it slowly dissipated.
That's right, it visibly dissipated into the beam of light.
Several hundred meters above North Wave City, the stealthy Aerospace Mothership remained silently stationary.
Switching the focus to the control hall of the Aerospace Mothership reveals that Yi Xuan is sitting in the center of the hall, looking at the holographic projection screen in front of him while drinking tea from an enamel mug next to him. He then spits the tea leaves back into the mug, behaving like a typical old cadre.
But if someone pays attention, they will notice.
The bodies of Black Tortoise and Yi Xuan, who had been beheaded by the Shadow, were now surrounded by a group of mechanical octopuses, which appeared to be protecting their remains.
One of the mechanical octopuses, which was a size larger, used its eight tentacles to hold the lower half of the Black Tortoise in place.
Then they pulled out two of the octopus tentacles and ripped out Yi Xuan's lower body from the Black Tortoise.
Only then could one see that there was no blood flowing from the cut on Yi Xuan's lower body; instead, sparks were flying out.
The mechanical octopus, however, paid no heed and released the Black Tortoise, which it had been holding in place. Its eight octopus tentacles began to dismantle Yi Xuan's lower body.
Finally, the mechanical octopus carefully grasped a white sphere with its two tentacles. Then, a bulging box appeared under its huge head. The sphere was placed into the box, and the box immediately shrank back as if it had never been there.
As the white sphere entered the mechanical octopus's body, the densely packed red eyes on the mechanical octopus's face turned blue.
At the same time, Yi Xuan's voice came from the mechanical octopus. "Phew, that scared me to death! Where did that thing come from? Luckily it was me. If it were the Original Self me, the grass on my grave would be sprouting up by now!"
