Chapter 923: Chapter 171: Dispute
The counterattack from Ding Shan’s Floating Island was too abrupt; even though the Sea Clan had not slackened, they were still a moment too slow. The first wave of the shattered star arrow rain successfully hit its target. freewebnøvel.coɱ
If it were only fifteen Battle General Level White Elephants, they would not be able to withstand such an attack, a round of arrow rain would have shattered them.
But as the ace of the White Elephant King’s army, these White Elephants were bred specifically for war, consuming countless resources on normal days. All their value lay in the white chitin that burst forth from them upon explosion.
Embedded with the Sea Clan’s Secret Technique and the Spirit of the Army, they were closely connected, providing astonishing defense.
Under the starry sky reflected by the Starlight Holy Tower, the blazing streams of light from the star-shattered crossbows tore through the sky, instantly falling into the Sea Clan’s military formation.
The dense white chitin exploded outward, but the shadows of the army spirits beneath remained completely undamaged.
Five giant army spirits clad in white chitin launched a counterattack under the command of their leader.
The army spirit shaped like an octopus, with its massive tentacles lashing out wildly, knocked down all the subsequent blazing arrows from the star-shattered crossbows.
The rest, the Rampant Dragons, Evil Wolves, Ghost-faced Fish Eagles, and Ferocious White Elephants, all assumed defensive poses. They were there to deal with the blazing Sunsail Skiffs, keeping these formidable yet despicable little things outside the Floating Island.
The scene of the great battle between the two races was so chaotic, whether it was the star-shattered crossbows, the Sunsail Skiffs, or the army spirit shadows, they all drew keen attention.
But what truly focused everyone’s attention were still the two fists.
Compared to the massive army spirit shadows formed by the military formations, both Ding Jingshan and the White Elephant King appeared too tiny.
Yet their fists, which seemed to separate all turbulence and shatter all noise, pierced through everything tangible and intangible.
The moment when the two fists collided was silent.
It was a clash of two fists, a collision of two "paths". freёwebnoѵel.com
At the height of this "collision", outside the entire battlefield, within a part of the Sea Clan’s troops not listed in the military formation and ready to replenish the forces at any time... behind a Battle General Level Sea Clan member riding a long-scaled black bone fish, a shadow slightly quivered as Jiang Wang and Chu Mi leaped out from within it.
With Chu Mi’s help, the two of them moved stealthily and unobtrusively, even managing to quietly depart without alarming the Battle General Level Sea Clan member.
In fact, all the Sea Clan’s attention was on the battlefield, watching their king, anticipating how the White Elephant King would tear apart the human opponent, waiting for any military orders that might be issued at any moment.
The two fists finally collided.
It was hard for others to see the profound display of the confrontation between the Godly cultivator and the Duke-Level Sea Clan, but they could see that the White Elephant King remained immoveable, while Ding Jingshan, who had leapt from the Floating Island, moved back several inches.
The countless charging Human Race phantom shadows, who never looked back, were silently devoured like clay oxen entering the sea.
"King!"
A cry rose from the Sea Clan’s army, greatly boosting their morale.
However, Ding Jingshan remained expressionless, and the White Elephant King also kept his composure.
They both understood that although the White Elephant King held the absolute advantage in strength, the outcome of that punch was still undetermined.
Ding Jingshan moved back a few inches, then immediately threw another punch.
It was like a hammer smashing upon an anvil, sparks flying, producing intense fiery shadows.
That sparkle was brilliant, fierce!
The history of the Human Race’s expansion into the Lost World seemed to condense into a brief moment.
That instant was centuries and millennia, and these millennia were also just this moment.
This punch.
Life and death unyielding, perpetually successive,
The White Elephant King’s expression remained unchanged, but his eyes clearly grew more solemn.
To the onlooker, he swung his fist very slowly, his fist heavy as if carrying a mountain.
Innate Divine Ability, Mountain Carrying!
Mountain Carrying, as a Divine Skill, has always had two manifestations. One is harnessing the power of the mountain—nurturing the mountain, stabilizing it, and merging with it. The other is the reverse—seeking to cultivate the power to move mountains from within oneself.
The White Elephant King belonged to the latter.
As torches are passed from one generation to another, can mountains be moved?
While the momentum of a punch can be enduring and passed down generation after generation, so long as the mountain is heavy enough, tall enough, how can the person swinging at that moment perpetuate forever?
The White Elephant King’s punch was still only about power. Pure power, terrifying power!
His fist was about to sweep through everything.
Just at that moment, the shadow behind him suddenly began to flow, converging into a human shape. The figure held a sharp cone in hand.
That cone, like a small umbrella, was about to pierce through life and death.
What a Fu Yanqing!
Daring to stab at God Arrives!
This cone plunged into the back of Ferocious White Elephant.
The Ferocious White Elephant did not even turn its head, nor did it alter any movement.
It still swung its fist with a slow sensation.
His fist finally caught Ding Jingshan’s fist.
Terrifying power exploded with a momentum to burst everything.
The phantasm holding the cone in its back entirely shattered!
And Ding Jingshan, who was facing the punch, was first propelled back, followed by a massive blast.
Bang!
"My king!!"
"Invincible!"
The Sea Race warriors shouted upon seeing this scene.
Almost at the same time Ding Jingshan was blown back.
Across the entire battlefield, after the fierce arrow rain shot by the Star Bowguns, all the arrays charging Sunfire Flying Ships suddenly turned around, instantly flying back to the Floating Island before crashing into the Sea Race army’s formation.
The Sea Race’s large army did not manage to pursue in time as the protective island shield rose once again!
Ferocious White Elephant suddenly lunged forward, throwing a punch that exploded one Sunfire Flying Ship that hadn’t managed to enter the Floating Island in time, and as the second punch fell, it was firmly blocked by the island’s protective shield.
The punch shook the entire Floating Island, but ultimately failed to break it.
Ding Jingshan, who had already retreated to the Floating Island, suddenly snarled viciously, "This flying ship, JueMing Island must return!"
Beside him, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Fu Yanqing said, "And my injuries need proper recuperation!"
Within a few exchanges, Ding Jingshan, again placing a heavy debt on Jiang Wang’s account, suddenly declared loudly, "Put in some more effort! Ferocious White Elephant, is Cang Sea too tough, leaving you unfed? How is it that you’re so weak?!"
Instead, Ferocious White Elephant dropped his fists, sneering, "A fruitless return and you still boast? How many more times can you charge?"
He turned his head, instructing his subordinates, "Maintain the previous frequency, continue charging?"
"How many times we can charge is not important, but..."
Ding Jingshan looked at him with the eyes of a victor, "The person you are looking for is not on DingWei Floating Island! The Jiang Wang you saw before was just an illusion! I was just testing you! How about that, still worth it now?"
"If someone from your side can deceive this king with illusions, this king would accept it," Ferocious White Elephant coldly laughed. "At this time, to use such deceptive tactics, don’t you find yourself ridiculous?"
In the entire Sea Race army, only he, Ferocious White Elephant, was capable of tracking Fu Yanqing’s movements.
But his attention was entirely drawn by Ding Jingshan, his spiritual sense entangled in fighting, he did not pay attention to that distant area. Thus, he completely failed to notice that Jiang Wang had been taken away.
"Indeed ridiculous!" Ding Jingshan waved his hand, opening the virtual image of the Sea Border List in front of Ferocious White Elephant through the Floating Island’s protective screen.
Pointing to Jiang Wang’s name, which had turned into a dangerous red showing he was still in the wildlands, "You wouldn’t be unaware of what this means, would you?"
And following the name, the blood-red forty-three seemed to mock his stupidity.
No!
Ferocious White Elephant quickly realized. That bastard Ding Jingshan was still deceiving him. Jiang Wang must have escaped during that recent charge!
"Yu Siqing! Disperse the army immediately, hunt down Jiang Wang across the entire area, he just left!"
The Army Soul Shadow manifesting as Ghost-faced Fish Eagle instantly spread out, demonstrating excellent combat discipline, countless figures scattering in all directions, searching for Jiang Wang!
Ferocious White Elephant turned back, looking at Ding Jingshan, and snarled viciously, "Continue the attack! This king will strangle their future and destroy their present!"
