C1280 Return to Middle-earth
Zhong Ming urged the flying ship to fly quickly, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. It was unknown whether it was just his imagination, that made him feel that the smell was everywhere.2
Hong Yu flew at the speed of light and arrived outside of the Haiqing City in just half an hour. Previously, Zhong Ming had flown from the Haiqing City to the Jadestone Island for two to three months, and in just a few short years, Zhong Ming had grown by quite a bit.
At this time, Zhong Ming was not the only one who smelled the blood smell, the rest of the people on the ship also smelt the blood. The surrounding area of the Haiqing City was already completely different, but the Defensive Formation outside the city was still considered complete.
Fortunately the Haiqing City formation was still intact, so Zhong Ming's spirit sense could not scan inside, and the sea beasts that were stuck in did not attack either. It seemed like they also needed to rest, and regardless of whether it was humans or beasts, they were both exhausted, so Zhong Ming could clearly see that the outside of the city wall was covered in blood stains, and he was not able to differentiate between human cultivators and sea beasts at this time, because there were no corpses here, not even the two sides had been cleaned up, but the smell of blood was still very strong.
Seeing the scene before his eyes, Zhong Ming was more or less relieved. As long as this Haiqing City was still there, and the array formation still had some power, then he would still be safe, and since he and Xiao Ran were both top ninth stage Master of Formation, his Haiqing City would definitely be as stable as a rock. However, looking at the current situation, the array formation here could still last for five to six months under the continuous attacks of the sea beasts.
"Junior Martial Brother Zhong, quick, look! The Haiqing City is still there, these sea beasts haven't attacked us yet." Liu Xiang said excitedly, at the same time, he relaxed.
"It's here, this place is no longer as impressive as before, the surroundings have already become ruins, from the looks of this formation, even with Cultivator of the Top Mahayana Stage, I'm afraid it won't be able to last much longer." Zhong Ming sighed.
The rest were just some level 5 or 6 sea beasts. When some sea beasts reach a certain level, they would transform into Demonic Cultivator, which was about the same as Chang Qing and the others. These sea beasts' intelligence were very high, and some could not be converted, but they could break through the level 10 boundary. These sea beasts were much more tyrannical than Demonic Cultivator.
These sea beasts could invade more than half of the Middle Continent, and had persisted for so many years, so there was no way to expel these sea beasts. If this matter was brought to the East Continent, a top-notch sect would have already hanged them, and they would not even have the chance to cause a ruckus. This was the difference in strength.
Although Zhong Ming had relaxed his mind, what made his face turn green was that these sea beasts were truly detestable. Although they couldn't attack or enter, they had actually used a formation to lock this Haiqing City inside, and if they used Teleportation Formation, it would simply be unrealistic. In other words, the formation that Zhong Ming had set up in the Longming Castle would also be restricted, and their people wouldn't be able to escape at all.
It was likely that these ocean beasts knew that there was a large scale Teleportation Formation that allowed people to cross over to other continents, thus they decided to use a formation to seal this place off, and indirectly froze the formation he had set up. If they had come late, these people would not have been able to teleport out at all, and would not even have had the chance to escape.
Seeing this, how could Zhong Ming's mood be good? But at this time, Zhong Ming and the rest's ship appeared in the sky outside the Haiqing City, after the Sea Beasts at the early stage of Top Stage saw it, they brought their people and rushed over. The others went to attack the formation outside the Haiqing City.
The air around them began to vibrate with the sound of explosions as the cultivators from the city began to fight with the sea beasts. The smell of blood became even stronger as new members and sea beasts died outside the city.
At this time, Zhong Ming suddenly discovered a familiar figure on the city wall. He was already a middle stage Nascent Infant cultivator, as well as Lin Guo'er and Zhao Ying.
The originally young and tender girl had already grown up into a big girl, but now that she had reached Core Formation Peak of the Late Stage, her methods had become sharp. She joined hands with Zhao Ying to fight the enemy, looking valiant and valiant.
It seemed that this disaster had allowed them to grow quite a bit. In a place like Middle Continent, with her current cultivation, she could protect herself, and just as Zhong Ming had sent a large number of people to defend against the enemies, the two Top Stage Sea Beasts had already arrived in front of them. Zhong Ming was very unyielding.
"Senior Xiao, the two Demonic Cultivator s are yours."
"No problem." The two of them spoke out at the same time. To them, these two Demonic Cultivator s were not difficult to deal with.
"Who should I deal with?" Knife Mist looked at Zhong Ming. She was not very weak either, of course she would not see others busy themselves.
"Lan jie, go and clean up the other sea beasts. Zhuo Sect Leader, you and Chang Qing can stay on the ship." Zhong Ming instructed.
That's not fair, why do you all have work to do, fight, and I have to stay on the ship to watch the fun, because my identity is special so you don't arrange it for me? It's not fair, why do you all have work to do, fight and fight, and I have to stay on the ship to watch the fun, because my identity is special. After Chang Qing finished speaking, without saying a word, he grabbed the Dragon-Subduing Sword and flew out of the boat, joining the battle.
Wu Qinian saw that Chang Qing had already joined the battle, he did not hesitate as he flew out and followed Chang Qing to kill, while the two Demonic Cultivator s who were about to arrive in front of Hong Yu, not only flew out with two late stage Top Stage cultivators, but also one early stage Top Stage and two late stage Grand Master cultivators, causing them to be shocked. They only knew that there were three late stage Top Stage cultivators, but they had never heard of anyone from another city supporting them, but according to their intelligence, there were no such powerful cultivators in the Middle Continent, where did they come from?
But when they saw Qing Nichang, they knew who he was. At this moment, they suddenly understood, it seemed like this was the person Qing Nichang had invited out to help.
These sea beasts of theirs were their opponents, it was no different from striking a stone with an egg. They hesitated for a moment, and the fighting spirit in them disappeared, followed by panic. Just as the two of them were about to give up on the attack, how could Xiao Ran and Qing Nichang let them go?
Moreover, no matter if it was Zhong Ming's sword rain or the Thunder Arc's electric net, none of these low levelled sea beasts were able to resist him. After all, there were simply too many sea beasts here, and with such a large area of injuries, he could not control them well, so if he accidentally injured other cultivators, it would be bad. His attack power was simply too great.
These sea beasts were clearly the strongest amongst the sea regions around here, and could not be put back into the ocean. Given a chance to rest, there was no way their Haiqing City could withstand the beast tide, and after so many years of fighting, although these cultivators had already grown, their overall strength had still been reduced. The sea beasts could not be appeased, as long as they were exterminated, they would no longer have the ability to attack humans.
Zhong Ming was a top-notch Master of Formation, so it was not difficult to set up a Trap Formation s or a killing array here. Zhong Ming quickly threw out the Formation Flag in his hands, and he threw the different ranked Spirit Stone into the formation.
Inside the Haiqing City, these cultivators that were defending the enemy saw a flying ship stop outside the city, and escape out of it with a few High Rank Cultivator. They clearly came to the Haiqing City, could it be that their external help had arrived?
However, what they couldn't figure out was that after so many years, they had used so many methods to successfully break out of the encirclement. As long as they could escape, they would be killed by the sea beasts.
