Chapter 271 The Mermaid at the Nascent Soul Stage
"Pingzhou's help? Old man, are you out of your mind? I want to bring my people here. Unless I stumble into someone else's den, who will find me? No... I should say, young old man, you're still too young."
Although the merman chieftain looked to be only middle-aged, while the human before him was already old and frail, the merman was indeed older. Mermen's lifespans are naturally longer than those of humans, and after his breakthrough, his lifespan increased significantly, allowing him to regain his youthful state.
The strongest man in Jade City looked at him with disdain, still giving him the look of someone looking at a country bumpkin. "You ignorant fool, I know of at least six methods. The Nascent Soul stage is just the threshold for you to see the world."
"Then why are you still in the Golden Core stage? Why didn't you notice me?"
The merman's words nearly choked the old cultivator to death; his chest heaved violently, as if he couldn't resist rushing out to fight.
After taking a deep breath, he sneered and continued, "I'm giving you a chance. If you retreat now, we can still talk. If you don't retreat, very few of you will be able to leave here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black water surging into the inner city became violent, and the water in the entire city began to rotate uncontrollably, forming a huge whirlpool. At the very center of the whirlpool was the place where the Merfolk Chieftain stood.
Nine raging, jet-black water dragons intertwined and coordinated, continuously crashing into the tower's barrier.
In addition, other towers were also subjected to fierce attacks. Countless merfolk swarmed into the towers like locusts, while powerful figures on the outside continuously threw bone spears outwards. Once the spears were driven into the towers, the merfolk, who were skilled at climbing, could use them to climb the outside of the towers, thereby threatening the core area of the anti-flight restriction.
No matter how you look at it, the merfolk have gained a complete advantage.
The merfolk chieftain showed no mercy, gathering power in his Dharma Form Heaven and Earth, and striking the shield repeatedly with both arms, causing ripples to spread and the tower to visibly sway.
"The Merfolk have risen up today! I will lead my people to true glory. Consider the supplies in your city my gift for breaking through to the next realm. My men, enjoy it to the fullest!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of a large warehouse shattered, and black water gushed in, followed by the screaming of the merfolk.
"boom!"
A deafening roar interrupted the merman chieftain's passionate pronouncements, and he glanced sideways. In reality, his divine sense completely covered the undefended areas of the entire city, but he still couldn't help but look back.
“Cunning humans, you will pay the price.”
"Come in first and we'll talk then." The old man stood calmly in place, watching the huge Dharma image continuously hammer the shield as if he were a fool, like watching a gorilla in a zoo.
More than this guy, he was worried about how many people would die if they couldn't hold on and the person below was awakened.
The one below isn't just here to hunt down a few merfolk; the only reason he's in seclusion here is because he has deep grudges against most of the dynasties in Pingzhou, and he's just waiting to have a good, satisfying fight when war breaks out with Pingzhou.
Now... at least on the surface, Pingzhou is not at war with Yunzhou, so we can't act recklessly like this.
At this moment, on the other towers that had not yet fallen, the five commanders organized a salvo of artillery fire.
They used their most powerful physical cannonballs, launching a salvo, with streaks of light bombarding the merman chieftain.
"You're oversimplifying things!"
Five black water dragons soared into the air, their mouths agape, and caught the incoming cannonballs mid-air. The massive explosion instantly shattered their heads, turning them into a dark, black cloud that blotted out the sky.
A light drizzle of black water began to fall in the city, mixed with some unfortunate fragments of demonic beasts.
Who told you to happen to be in that patch of black water that formed the water dragon?
Five water dragons shattered and fell, while five new water dragons rose.
Within the city, nine water dragons constantly surged, seemingly connected to the Great Dao in the unseen realm.
A glint flashed in the old man's eyes, and his hands immediately formed a hand seal. He said with a smile, "The Blackwater Dragon Pool's domain? What a fine young man! It's a pity you've offended the Chen family. Your life has already begun its countdown."
"Humph!"
The merfolk chieftain watched him coldly. Behind him, his merfolk disciples were busy moving valuable items from the warehouse. Each merfolk wore storage rings on their hands and had storage bags hanging from their waists. It was a scene of great victory and triumph.
Faxiang Tiandi watched as the attacks continued, but he had already begun to consider retreating. Once some of the merfolk had withdrawn from Yushu City, he would retreat.
After all, he can't really fight for several hours and wear down this shield, can he? See the teleportation array on the core tower? That thing could light up at any time and teleport a few Nascent Soul experts over.
His black water dragon tried its best to hover over the shield area directly above the magic circle, interfering with the ability of other teleportation arrays to lock onto this place, but a main city-level array was not something a Nascent Soul cultivator like him could handle.
The old man looked at the merman chieftain, who remained silent, and said calmly, "What? Is my human race rich or poor? The things in these warehouses are just the tip of the iceberg, things that can be easily discarded."
"Hehe, that's great! What else do you want to throw away? My Merfolk tribe will take it all." It wasn't that the Merfolk chieftain couldn't be assertive; it was just that... they were too wealthy!
He even quickly calculated in his mind whether what he had snatched today was worth the materials that Pingzhou had given him to help him break through to a higher realm.
In an instant, a thousand thoughts raced through his mind. He trembled with excitement. "If I lead a robbery once, I can gather enough resources for a Nascent Soul cultivator. In two years, two Nascent Soul cultivators will be out robbing; in another two years, four Nascent Soul cultivators, eight Nascent Soul cultivators..."
Wow, that's incredible speed!
Suddenly, the supreme commander of Jade City pressed his hands down, and the mysterious hand seals transformed into surging spiritual power that flowed into the wooden planks beneath his feet, leading to an unknown destination.
"Great, great, you said you'd take it all! We humans are rich and powerful!"
Just then, the Merfolk chieftain unleashed a powerful punch. The magnificent body of the Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth leaped into the air, its massive form spinning as it delivered its right fist, imbued with black light, creating a series of whooshing sounds as it slammed down, causing the earth to tremble.
The tower shook violently, and for a moment, the merman chieftain was overjoyed, believing he had unexpectedly broken through the enemy's defenses.
The tower in the very center of the inner city was shattering, the statues that had been lying quietly on the roof for hundreds of years were shaken off, the guardian statues on the eaves were also broken off, and countless tiles fell to the ground like a rainstorm.
Upon seeing this, the nearby merfolk raised their arms and cheered, shouting their chieftain's name:
"Yingtian! Yingtian! Yingtian!!"
