NOVPUBWhoosh!
Shen Ying, hidden in the azure waves, suddenly turned pale!
Sensing danger, he instantly transformed into seawater, shattering explosively.
Yet the spear still instantly pinned itself in the seawater.
Shen Ying’s figure was also immediately revealed!
But at this moment, a long spear was strikingly impaling his chest, piercing right through him!
Shen Ying’s complexion was ashen, but he still gritted his teeth and commanded at the first moment:
"Change formation!"
Not far away.
The cultivators from Jin responded thunderously.
A pinpoint of light immediately lit up on each of their bodies.
Assuming their positions, they managed to change the formation in an instant.
Though they were all of Golden Core and Nascent Soul, the Great Formation vaguely conjured up a faceless cultivator’s phantom.
The aura emanating from it even barely reached the Divine Transformation Level.
Yanzhi Xie’s complexion showed a trace of wariness:
"Is this your trump card? You do have some means indeed!"
His gaze immediately fell on Shen Ying:
"Kill you first, then I’ll leave!"
He reached out his hand again.
A spear materialized out of thin air and, after a slight gathering of force... was hurled with strength!
"Hmm?!"
Yanzhi Xie looked puzzled at the spear in his palm which emitted a bit of resistance.
"What, what’s going on?"
Suddenly sensing something, he looked towards the edge of the battlefield and became even more astonished:
"A, a Golden Core?!"
At the edge of the battlefield, a figure that seemed to be a Nascent Soul, but under his Spiritual Sense was unmistakably exposed as a Golden Core Craftsman, was fleeing desperately.
Left behind were a large number of pottery shards, lingering with a peculiar aura.
"Was it this person’s doing?"
"What kind of method is this?"
Yanzhi Xie was full of astonishment and confusion.
A Golden Core Craftsman could actually disrupt his use of a Magic Tool, which was completely beyond comprehension.
But at this time, he had no time to think further, as he once again raised the spear in his hand, ready to throw it at the cultivator skilled in the Water Method.
However, when he looked up, where was the opponent’s figure?
"Damn it!"
Yanzhi Xie bellowed in anger.
He was merely aware of the Demi-god Phantom formed by the Formation and the astonishing damage the Xumi had inflicted on the Totem Beast in that short span of time.
His heart couldn’t help but chill.
His Spiritual Sense swept through swiftly, and on feeling that most of the Three Continents’ Cultivators had already largely withdrawn into the deep sea, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Time to go!"
Yanzhi Xie was about to recall his Totem Beast.
However, the next moment, a surge of excruciating pain transmitted through his soul made his eyes widen in shock:
"No!"
In the distant sky.
His Totem Beast, a Class V black Water Buffalo, amidst the darting sword shadows, collapsed with a boom!
The twisted muscles had been stripped away by the sword shadows, leaving only a pale Water Buffalo skeleton. The horns coiled atop the bull’s head were particularly glaring...
"Saint Venerable! Saint Venerable!"
Yanzhi Xie cried out in acute pain!
He never thought that, in merely the blink of an eye, the Totem Beast that had accompanied him for many years would be slain by the enemy.
But he did not lose his reason, instead, he quickly flew towards the deep sea.
Having lost the support of his Totem Beast while the enemy had more than one of Divine Transformation strength. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
One subtraction and one addition, the original gap had been filled, and the distance between him and the enemy had widened in an instant.
His advantage had vanished immediately, and if he didn’t leave now, he might never be able to leave.
"This Xumi is probably determined to take me down completely this time!"
"The loss is too great!"
Indeed, as he expected.
The sword shadow instantly transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards him eagerly.
The sharpness on it was something he had never seen before!
"Was he really concealing his skill before, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal strike?"
Yanzhi Xie’s heart was filled with resolution.
Thankfully, he had always been cautious from the start, daring not to show even the slightest flaw.
Even so, that sword shadow’s stream of light still made his heart tighten.
He shouted angrily:
"Xumi! This Clan Leader admits you’ve got some skills, but do not push this Clan Leader too far!"
However, the sword shadow showed no sign of stopping.
Instead, its speed increased without decreasing!
Just as it was about to overtake the fleeing Three Continents’ Cultivators in front, Yanzhi Xie gritted his teeth slightly and directly bypassed the people below.
He had stayed behind to intercept the cultivators from Jin before because he was confident that he was not in danger.
But now, the situation had changed drastically in an instant, and he was somewhat overwhelmed.
He had no choice but to look out for himself.
After all, as long as they, the Demigods, were still alive, the Three Continents still had hope.
If they perished, many more cultivators from the Three Continents would die.
However, it seemed as if the sword shadow was determined to pursue relentlessly, its speed growing ever faster!
"Damn it!"
Yanzhi Xie’s expression was one of furious frustration.
But he no longer had the confidence he had before.
His mind raced, quickly contemplating how to deal with the situation.
Yet at that moment, he suddenly noticed the raised embankments at the border of the sea and land below.
He hurriedly said:
"Xumi! If you dare to move forward, I will destroy the dike, and let the waters of West Sea flood this nation!"
The sword shadow hesitated slightly.
Yanzhi Xie’s heart immediately relaxed.
The reason both parties had previously chosen to fight within the crevice of the world’s membrane was to avoid damaging the great sea embankments.
Now, with the sea levels rising higher and higher, if the embankments were destroyed, the backflow of sea water would be too horrific to contemplate.
This was an outcome neither side wished to see.
After all, what the Three Continents wanted was a place they could settle down, a place with a consistent supply of resources and not like the depths of the sea they had left behind.
But in just the next moment, Yanzhi Xie’s complexion underwent a drastic change!
"Xumi!"
The sword shadow disregarded any hesitation, stabbing straight at him!
Being targeted by this sword shadow, Yanzhi Xie suddenly felt a deep-rooted fear.
He erupted in fury:
"You forced my hand!"
His entire body shuddered.
