160: moat
City 39.
Jian San and the others were already kneeling in front of Liu Jiangyi's mansion.
It was a newly built luxurious manor in the center of City 39.
Jian San knelt at the entrance, shouting devoutly, "People from Stormwind City are besieging City 39! Jian San, on behalf of the myriad people, requests the True God's blessing!"
Bang!
The gate opened.
Ya Ya stretched lazily, then pointed at the transplanted Great Dao Tree and Profound Water Pond, saying:
"Liu Jiangyi said to let you all pick some fruits to eat, and then take a bath after eating."
"Once you're done, just leave. I'm very sleepy."
With that, Ya Ya, still drowsy, instantly vanished from the spot.
"Instant Movement!?" Jian San was greatly startled, "How can such a skill exist in this world?"
"Not Instant Movement. It must be that her speed is too fast for us to perceive. That little girl has probably already achieved a Breakthrough to Martial Saint!"
That's right!
Ya Ya, eating fruits and soaking in the Profound Water Pond every day with Liu Jiangyi, had long since achieved a Breakthrough to Martial Saint.
She had even achieved a Breakthrough to the Martial Saint Middle Stage, not just recently.
Liu Jiangyi's Realm had also surged during this period.
Having absorbed the Spiritual Spring and Spiritual Pearl, coupled with the blessings of the Great Dao Tree and Profound Water, Liu Jiangyi's Realm had already reached the Great Martial Saint Peak.
He was just one step away from Martial Saint.
Although his cultivation was not yet Martial Saint.
However, Liu Jiangyi had seven Martial Saints under his command, including the Immortal Crane.
Therefore, Liu Jiangyi did not pay any attention to the people from Stormwind City.
Jian San and the others looked envious.
"Tsk tsk tsk, for this little girl to be by the True God's side, she truly benefits endlessly!"
"Yes, it's a pity we don't have that fate."
"Stop complaining. If it weren't for the True God, we wouldn't have everything we have now. The True God has already given us enough!"
"Exactly, people should know how to be content."
...
The next day.
As the sky just began to lighten, the people from Stormwind City arrived!
Looking at the grasslands and dense forests outside City 39, Luo Shan and the others were stunned.
They never expected that City 39 had transformed into this state.
"It seems this City 39 is indeed extraordinary."
A sinister, bloodthirsty glint flashed in Luo Shan's eyes.
"It's a pity he chose the wrong opponent. No matter how strange they are, they must die!"
"Everyone listen, after breaking the city, massacre the entire city. But before that, capture the so-called True God first."
"I will crush their True God in front of these ants, to let them know the consequences of being an enemy of the Upper City!"
Luo Shan's sinister words, however, did not instill any fear in the people within the city.
On the other side of the moat.
Tens of thousands of Martial Artists from City 39 stood ready, staring intently at the people from Stormwind City across the river, already prepared for a desperate resistance.
At this moment, Luo Shan had already begun to lead the charge.
In the blink of an eye, he had reached the moat.
The moat was a full fifty meters wide.
However, for him, it could be crossed in a single leap.
"Heh heh, to deal with us, they rely on a moat? How foolish!"
"This small river, even a dog could swim across!"
His tone was arrogant and smug.
However!
The moment he leaped, he stumbled, falling directly into the moat.
Everyone: ???
Luo Shan was stunned!
The people from Stormwind City were stunned!
The people from City 39 were also stunned!
Luo Shan!
A person from the Upper City.
A genuine Martial Saint expert!
He was ruthless, decisive, and had killed at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, people.
He had never tasted defeat in his life!
But!
He actually lost in front of a small moat in the Lower City!
A dignified Martial Saint actually slipped and fell while jumping over a river.
Who could have imagined such a thing?
Thump, thump, thump...
From the surrounding dense forests, many hidden scouts fell from the trees due to their shock.
These people were scouts from other cities.
Even if those cities were too afraid to come to their aid, they wouldn't fail to monitor the news here, sending out secret scouts to observe.
Thump!
At this moment, Luo Shan jumped out of the water.
He was drenched, his handsome hairstyle plastered to his scalp, looking like a drowned rat, utterly disheveled.
Slipped?
What kind of 'slipped' are you talking about!
How could he, a dignified Martial Saint expert, slip?
Just now, there was clearly a strange, immense force that dragged his foot.
But how was that possible?
To be able to mess with him without anyone noticing, what kind of expert would that have to be!?
How could there be such a person in the Lower City?
No matter what, he couldn't admit in front of his subordinates that he seemed to have tripped over something just now.
He cleared his throat, "Cough cough, I've been traveling a lot, and my legs are a bit numb. I did slip just now."
"Why are you all still standing there?"
"There isn't even a city wall here! Why aren't you quickly following me into the city to massacre them?"
In his shame and anger, Luo Shan's tone became even more filled with Killing Intent.
The surrounding temperature seemed to drop by several degrees.
After speaking, Luo Shan exerted force again and charged out.
At the same time.
Several powerful Great Martial Saints and others also charged out together.
Luo Shan had learned his lesson.
He hadn't forgotten the strangeness from before, so this time he deliberately slowed down as he approached the moat.
The several Great Martial Saints, however, didn't think much of it and actually leaped high, intending to cross the moat.
The next second!
They all slipped at the same time, falling directly into the river and becoming drowned rats.
They hurriedly jumped out of the moat.
"This... what's going on?"
"This moat is strange. I just felt like my foot was tripped by something!"
Thump, thump, thump...
Several more scouts fell from the dense forest due to extreme shock.
These scouts were definitely elites.
If they couldn't help it, they really wouldn't laugh.
These were powerful beings, any one of whom could easily destroy the cities they belonged to.
But now?
They were falling into the water like dumplings, one after another.
Isn't this too ridiculous?
Seeing this, Luo Shan actually felt a little better.
After all, it was embarrassing if he was the only one.
But if a group of people were embarrassed, then it wouldn't count as embarrassing anymore.
However!
Some people were still unwilling to give up.
"We'll go!"
Several Martial Saint experts charged forward.
They didn't try to jump over like Luo Shan and the others, but instead wrapped their feet in Qi, intending to walk directly on the surface of the river.
Indeed!
This time, they ran about ten meters.
The several people were immediately overjoyed and turned their heads, excitedly saying, "This moat is only strange in the air, as long as we walk on the river surface... Ah!"
Thump!
Before they could finish their words, a blue electric current suddenly appeared from the river surface, directly electrocuting the two of them until they were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, screaming repeatedly, and then falling into the moat.
They endured the severe pain, trying to jump out of the river and escape.
But at this moment!
Two large hands made of water actually pulled them out of the river, then heavily threw them a hundred meters away.
Thump!
The several people landed heavily, their hair scorched black, their bodies emitting the aroma of roasted meat, already on the verge of death.
