Chapter 99

The leading aquatic prodigies shouted angrily, "We've broken through the arrays, let's see what other tricks Divine Sword Peak has now."

Even Jiao Min thought the same. A smile appeared on his face again, and he said coldly.

"Hah, you thought some small tricks could stop this Prince? Divine Sword Peak, you are still too naive. Charge up and wipe out the Divine Sword Peak disciples!"

Full of momentum, but the numerous aquatic creatures on the front line didn't move at all upon hearing this. Seeing this, Jiao Min frowned, feeling a bit angry.

"This Prince ordered you to charge up and wipe out the Divine Sword Peak disciples!"

Still no movement. Jiao Min couldn't hold it together anymore and roared even louder.

"Are you deaf? This Prince ordered you to charge up and kill the Divine Sword Peak disciples!"

Still motionless. The numerous aquatic creatures that had reached the foot of the city wall remained stunned.

Jiao Min was standing far away and couldn't see the situation on the city wall clearly, but they were standing right at the foot of the wall, and they could see it perfectly.

They had expected to see a group of sickly Divine Sword Peak disciples.

But when they really arrived here and looked up, the entire group of demons was stunned.

What kind of people were standing on this city wall?

Each of them held a long sword, the blades emitting a cold, eerie light, their eyes glowing with a chilling red light. Some were even licking their lips, looking like they couldn't help but drool.

Although they were indeed bandaged, you’re telling me these are people who are severely injured?

There wasn't a hint of weakness; those eyes looked like they wanted to swallow them alive.

If you said these were a group of evil ghosts, the numerous aquatic creatures would probably believe it.

The aquatic prodigies who had been clamoring before also stopped talking.

"Um... are we still going up? Why do I feel like these Divine Sword Peak disciples want to eat us?"

"I don't think it's 'like' anymore. Look, their drool is dripping down."

"Something's wrong, really wrong. These Divine Sword Peak disciples have a problem. Should we just retreat?"

"Yeah, this doesn't look like they're injured at all. This battle can't be fought. Let's retreat quickly."

Already demoralized by the talismans and arrays, and now seeing the Divine Sword Peak disciples with red-glowing eyes, these aquatic creatures were completely terrified.

You say these are people who are severely injured? Could Huling be trying to borrow a knife to kill demons and set up our East Sea aquatic tribe?

Looking at the city wall, the Divine Sword Peak disciples were staring at the aquatic creatures below with... no, with murderous intent.

"How come I never realized before that these aquatic creatures were so delicious?"

"True, if it weren't for Junior Brother Changqing's reminder, we really wouldn't have thought of that."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's kill them and have them for breakfast."

Listen, listen, what kind of tiger-wolf words are these?

It seems like the other side still has the numerical advantage, right? Even after the inhumane destruction, the aquatic tribe still had twenty thousand troops.

And the Divine Sword Peak disciples on the wall? Excluding those who were bedridden with severe injuries, there were only about four thousand people, not even five thousand.

And with just that, you still want to kill them?

"Senior Brothers, shouldn't we be a bit more cautious?"

Ye Changqing always felt he was a cautious person. Looking at his senior brothers who were already like wolves and tigers, he couldn't help but try to persuade them.

But obviously, such persuasion was completely useless. The senior brothers all laughed.

"Junior Brother Changqing, no need to worry. A few mere ingredients will be dealt with soon."

Good heavens, they don't even call them aquatic creatures anymore. In your eyes, they are all food?

Some even started asking Ye Changqing how to cook them.

"Junior Brother Changqing, why don't you think about how to cook them for better flavor? Senior Brother has been feeling quite hot-tempered lately and wants to eat something light."

Hearing these words, Ye Changqing wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to say that in the first place?

You couldn't keep your mouth shut, and now look, how is this going to end?

"Alright, stop messing around."

At this moment, Zhao Zheng finally spoke up. Hearing this, Ye Changqing looked toward the sound and saw his serious expression, feeling relieved.

Yes, how could he have forgotten the Senior Brother? With his personality, he definitely wouldn't let the senior brothers mess around. It's good that the Senior Brother is here.

At this moment, in Ye Changqing's eyes, the Senior Brother was the anchor of Divine Sword Peak.

No wonder people say "an old person in the house is like a treasure." The Senior Brother is that "old person" of our Divine Sword Peak, worthy of being the eldest disciple.

However, the next second, this "eldest disciple" in Ye Changqing's eyes slowly drew his sword and said in a deep voice.

"This is a battlefield. On the battlefield, one cannot afford the slightest carelessness. Remember, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit..."

Listen, this is what you call having class. As soon as he spoke, the difference was clear.

Ye Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Therefore, I hope you won't let any ingredient escape due to your own carelessness. Remember, we have to stay here for a year."

Yes, yes, yes, how can one be careless on the battlefield? Absolutely cannot let any... escape due to carelessness...

Ye Changqing nodded repeatedly, but as Zhao Zheng continued, the smile on his face gradually froze.

This isn't right. Everything was fine before, how come...

He had a feeling he had misjudged the person, but Zhao Zheng clearly didn't give Ye Changqing a chance. With an angry shout, the senior brothers and sisters instantly rushed out.

"Kill!"

"Holy crap."

He thought Zhao Zheng would stabilize the situation, but who would have thought that after a few words of incitement, the disciples became even more violent, each of them shouting as they jumped off the city wall.

Falling into the beast horde like divine soldiers descending from heaven, this sudden scene, let alone Ye Changqing, even the aquatic creatures hadn't expected it.

"Are they for real?"

"Nonsense, the swords are already at our necks, could it be fake?"

"Steady, steady! Surround and kill them together!"

"Damn it, don't run!"

For a time, the aquatic demons were in complete chaos. Although the leading aquatic prodigies were trying their best to stabilize the situation, it didn't have much effect.

Seeing this scene, Jiao Min in the rear gritted his teeth.

"A bunch of trash! Go, kill all these Divine Sword Peak disciples! Anyone who dares to run will be executed without mercy."

Seeing that many aquatic creatures were scared out of their wits, Jiao Min had no choice but to send the Dragon clan into battle personally.

The combat power of demon beasts is different from that of human cultivators.

Humans look at talent and aptitude, while demon beasts look at bloodline.

At the same age and cultivation level, the demon beast with the higher bloodline will definitely be stronger.

This time, the Dragon clan only sent about a hundred people, but their strength was definitely far superior to other aquatic creatures of the same realm.

Hearing Jiao Min's words, the young powerhouses of the Dragon clan finally moved and rushed to the battlefield.

Standing on the city wall, Ye Changqing naturally saw all this. Seeing the Dragon clan moving out, he quickly shouted to the senior brothers below.

"Be careful, the Dragon clan is coming!"

The intention was to warn them, but the result caught Ye Changqing off guard.

"What? The Dragon clan is coming?"

"They came at the right time!"

"If the aquatic creatures are gourmet food, then the Dragon clan must be..."

"Good, good, good! Junior Brothers, hold them off, we're going to get some high-end ingredients!"

"Top hundred inner disciples, deal with the Dragon clan! The rest of the disciples, continue surrounding and killing the ingredients!"

Hearing that the Dragon clan had moved out, the disciples were not panicked at all; on the contrary, they became even more excited.

Seeing this, Ye Changqing on the city wall cursed speechlessly.

"I shouldn't have said that."

It would have been better if he hadn't warned them; the more he warned them, the more excited they got. What kind of situation is this?

And Jiao Min in the rear, seeing his own powerhouses join the battlefield, also revealed a sneer on his face.

"Hmph, without talismans and arrays, let's see what other skills you have."

Even now, Jiao Min still believed that the reason he had suffered such heavy losses was entirely because he had fallen for Divine Sword Peak's tricks.

They were just a group of despicable humans who only knew how to rely on external forces like talismans and arrays.

Now that they didn't have the help of talismans and arrays, plus his Dragon clan powerhouses had joined the battle, the overall situation was settled.
