Chapter 263 "Bone Battering Hammer"?
On the newly built, wide, and flat stone road, a wheelchair is speeding along.
Chen Dahai was utterly shocked by the bizarre actions of his shameless comrades. They... actually...
He hung himself up at the back.
Is there no justice? Is there no law? This is my wheelchair! How could you all crowd into my seat and leave me hanging on the back?
He originally thought the flames on his legs would make Zhong Ming and his team abandon their tactical system centered on wheelchair assaults, however... he underestimated their audacity.
Looking down from the inner city wall, an unidentified object filled with people was speeding towards the city gate, leaving a trail of reddish-purple flames behind it.
If they hadn't recognized them as their own people, they would have thought it was an enemy suicide attack squad.
With Yue Kaishan's robust body sitting in the main seat of the wheelchair, you could easily tell if he was disabled.
The inner city, where cultivators reside, is much better defended than the outer city, and is comparable to the Jishui Mountain defensive formation during the Twin Dragons' Water Journey.
The area beneath the city wall was piled with relatively hard debris from the former housing area, turning the path beneath the wall into a thorny, muddy swamp.
Zhong Ming's team was the first to return to the inner city, and naturally occupied the most comfortable defensive position. They first arrived at a defensive point that allowed them to advance or retreat at will, near the corner tower, but with some military supplies and equipment as a barrier.
Once the enemy concentrates its forces to attack the corner tower, Chen Dahai, sitting in this position, can unleash a hail of arrows at the enemy's back.
The other direction is an inner ring-shaped recess with countless battlements. Soon it will be filled with soldiers from other squads, so there is almost no need to worry about pressure from that side. Moreover, there is a solid roof below, so if you want to retreat, you can jump down directly without having to go to the steps further away.
This is just a defensive point for Qi Refining stage soldiers. Unlike the city defense by ordinary people, there are countless high platforms behind the city walls. Some are more than ten feet higher than the city walls. Some are nodes of a large array, hiding incomparably powerful magic weapons. Some are equipped with large cannons.
This was also the first time Zhong Ming had ever seen a massive spiritual energy cannon.
The Foundation Establishment stage cultivators stood high above, full of vigor and eager to try.
On the tall building in the very center, several Golden Core cultivators gazed solemnly into the distance.
The flood is approaching.
The closer the floodwaters got, the darker their color became. The merfolk were not just brutes; they simply had the greatest advantage in the water. Their magic for concealing themselves was all based on water.
"There's something in the water." The commander-in-chief of this defensive war squinted and looked for a while. This old Golden Core cultivator had experienced hundreds of battles and immediately noticed the other party's intentions.
Many merfolk stood atop the flood, just like the last great wave attack, but this was merely a smokescreen.
"The first layer of defensive formation is not enough to stop it. Let the formation hold back the flood as much as possible and let those things in."
"Yes!"
A young man quickly relayed the order, and the formation began to change. The outer city's formation no longer concentrated all its power in front, but instead evenly covered the hemispherical structure in front, and drew some power back to hide and defend the formation's nodes.
"Enemy encountered!!"
The instant the floodwaters crashed against the outer array, a terrifying behemoth emerged from the shadows of the flood.
"That's... bones! The skeleton of a giant monster, the size of a suit of armor! It's been forged into a magical artifact!"
"What is that? Did the merfolk bring their city over?"
"It's a Giant Bone Dark Abyss Fish! This is truly a specialty of the East Sea. This must be a peak sixth-grade demon beast, given how enormous it is!"
"Captain! Have we received any orders? What should we do? Should we seek refuge?"
.......
Amidst the gasps of the crowd, a gigantic skeleton of a demonic fish, tens of feet tall and hundreds of feet long, rushed into Jade City. The skeleton gleamed with a faint black light, and countless black chains and leather straps firmly bound its frame, maintaining the connection between the bones.
Its skull was visibly thick and heavy, like a mountain crashing into the city, easily destroying large sections of the outer city wall the moment it made contact.
The outer city's great formation blocked the flood as much as possible, and the merfolk's offensive was not just a show of force. Special bags of demonic beast blood, wrapped in fish bellies, were thrown into the great formation. They exploded the moment they came into contact with the abundant spiritual energy, creating a series of strange sights in the air.
The floodwaters crashed against the transparent array, continuing to engulf the entire city along its hemispherical structure. Then, after a reddish glow, large holes appeared, as if the sky had been ripped open, allowing the Milky Way to cascade down, forming hundreds of suspended waterfalls.
The outer city was almost completely submerged, with the water level rising rapidly and quickly surpassing the height of a single-story house.
In the very center, the enormous skeleton of the demonic fish had not yet stopped its charge, crashing straight into the inner city wall, while countless aquatic demonic beasts swam into the city through the holes in the great formation, darting between the streets and alleys in search of their food.
Unfortunately, they gained nothing. The residents here had already suffered heavy casualties in the last war. After the large-scale infrastructure construction, the area in front was almost entirely military territory. The goal was to completely connect the inner city and the docks, forming a steel jungle that could provide a series of defensive lines.
The two great cultivators chanted powerful incantations at the same time.
The merfolk shaman stood arrogantly atop the giant bone abyss fish's head, brandishing his staff and continuously carving mysterious patterns on the top of the massive skull while chanting incantations.
"Born with a finite number of stars, seeking immortality through water transport, ascending the Great Dao to land, spiritual life born in deficiency, divining three or four lines, the sea spirit has destiny, destroying cities and capturing strongholds, long live the mighty river!"
On the other side, atop the high platform, spiritual light flashed, and a powerful human being roared out with immense divine power:
"Coordinates 5th District 6th Location, 351, 934, 879, Destruction Missile, three rapid-fire rounds, Ready, Fire!"
In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with a terrifying array of light. A beam of light from a cannon shot completely covered Zhong Ming's head. Even without looking up, he felt an intense stinging pain in his eyes. The terrifying power made him instinctively lower his head, wishing he could press his head to the ground.
The giant fish carcass ahead emitted an even denser darkness, with viscous black matter overflowing from its bones and coalescing in the air into something resembling a Dharma Body, enveloped by a massive Xuanwu phantom.
Countless artillery shells rained down on it, denting the phantom and nearly causing it to collapse, but it was always saved at the last moment before it was completely breached.
"Everyone, adjust your coordinates, load armor-piercing rounds! Fire!"
