We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 450 [The Battle of the City]

midair.

Shaun's figure was like a black lightning bolt, instantly rushing towards the giant ape that was falling from the sky.

Within his body, the secret power of the void surged wildly, transforming into the armor of the [Great Dark Heaven], enveloping his entire body.

His gaze was fixed on the giant ape, and only one thought occupied his mind—

We absolutely cannot let that giant ape fall into the city!

"drink!"

Xia En let out a low shout and suddenly opened his hands, the secret power of the void condensing into two sharp, pitch-black long blades in his palms.

His figure drew a graceful arc in the air, heading straight for the giant ape's chest.

The giant ape seemed to sense the threat posed by Shaen, letting out a deafening roar and slamming its fists out with ferocious force towards Shaen.

However, Shane was faster.

His figure flashed nimbly in the air, easily dodging the giant ape's attack.

"Shh!"

A long black blade sliced ​​across the giant ape's chest, raising a cloud of black mist.

The giant ape let out a painful roar, its body momentarily suspended in mid-air, but it quickly regained its balance.

Its eyes turned blood red, and the black mist around it became even thicker, as if it wanted to completely devour Xiaen.

"As expected, the power of the [Mind Flayer] has already corrupted its body..."

Xia En was secretly alarmed, but he did not back down.

He knew he had to deal with the giant ape as soon as possible, or the city's residents would face a huge threat.

"Come again!"

Xia En's figure flashed again, and the secret power of the void surged wildly within his body.

He was faster than before, and his attacks were more ferocious.

The jet-black long blade drew deep streaks of light in the air.

Each swing of the sword stirred up a cloud of black mist.

Although the giant ape was incredibly strong, it gradually became overwhelmed by Shane's agile attacks.

Its body was slashed with wounds by Shane's long blade.

Black mist continued to seep from the wound, and the secret power continued to dissipate.

It was as if its vitality was being slowly drained away.

"Final blow!"

A cold glint flashed in Xia En's eyes, and the Void Secret Power within his body erupted instantly.

His figure flashed like lightning, heading straight for the giant ape's head.

"Pfft!"

The silver blade pierced precisely between the giant ape's eyebrows.

Black mist instantly gushed out from its head.

The giant ape let out a shrill roar, its body trembling violently in the air before crashing heavily onto the ground outside the city.

"boom!"

The giant ape's body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Its body gradually disintegrated, turning into fragments of mysterious power, which eventually dissipated into the air.

However, Shane noticed that some black mist remained where the giant ape had disappeared.

It resembled residual [filthy secret power].

"Ok?"

Xia En raised an eyebrow, vaguely sensing something amiss.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Because he knew that the battle was not over yet.

"Captain Shane!"

Jane's voice came from the city wall, tinged with anxiety.

Xia En looked up and saw that the beast tide in the distance had not stopped because of the death of the giant ape, but instead was rushing towards [Rhine City] even more frantically.

Not only that.

From the distant forest, the sound of an ancient and mysterious flute could be heard.

Followed by.

The legendary giant apes in the beast tide seemed to be driven by some force, becoming even more ferocious and savage.

Their eyes were bloodshot, and their bodies were shrouded in a thick black mist, as if they were completely controlled by the power of the [Mind Flayer].

These giant apes no longer charged blindly as before.

Instead, they began to disperse in an organized manner, attempting to break through the defenses of [Rhine City] from multiple directions.

"This is not good!"

Xia En's heart sank, and he quickly returned to the city wall to reunite with Jane.

Jane's expression was equally grave: "Those flute sounds must be the means by which the Ancient Spirits control the beast tide."

"The situation is the same as the last beast tide."

Xia En nodded, his gaze sweeping over the defensive fortifications on the city wall, and quickly made a judgment.

"We must adjust our defense strategy and not let them find a breakthrough."

He turned to the warriors of various races on the city wall and shouted an order: "Concentrate all cannons and weapons on those legendary giant apes!"

"Gunners, watch out for aerial attacks!"

"Dwarven craftsmen, immediately reinforce the weak points of the city walls!"

Following Shane's command, the warriors on the city wall sprang into action.

The sounds of catapults and ballistae clicked again.

Stones, cannonballs, and sharp crossbow bolts rained down like a storm, heading straight for the legendary giant apes.

However, these giant apes were clearly more troublesome than the ordinary giant apes they had encountered before.

Their black mist barrier can withstand most attacks, and even if hit, they can quickly recover.

When Xia En saw this scene, his heart tightened.

"These giant apes have such strong defenses that ordinary attacks have limited effect on them."

Jane said with a solemn expression.

"Although they only possess legendary physical attributes, they do not possess legendary laws."

"But only legendary-level destructive power can deal with them."

Xia En turned to look at the crowd on the city wall and decisively gave the order.

"All those with legendary combat power, unleash your full power!"

"Yes, Lord Shane!"

The first to make a move was the bronze dragon wearing a bronze crown—String Song Maya.

Her figure rose from the city wall like a blazing meteor, her dragon wings unfurled, and flames roared around her.

Her eyes gleamed with a dark golden light, as if they contained endless rage.

Roar! ! !
The roar of the stringed instrument resounded through the sky like thunder.

She suddenly opened her dragon mouth and spewed out a scorching dragon breath.

The flames swept down like a torrent, instantly engulfing a legendary giant ape and a horde of beasts.

The giant ape let out a mournful roar, and the black mist around it rapidly evaporated in the flames.

Its body was burned black and eventually turned into a pile of ashes.

However, the other giant apes were not deterred; instead, they charged towards the city wall with even greater ferocity.

Just then, Fei Ya's figure appeared on the other side of the city wall.

He held a huge steam gun, from which scorching steam spewed out and produced a deafening roar.

"Try this!"

With a cold smile, Fei Ya pulled the trigger, and a huge metal shell shot out of the gun.

The shell traced a fiery trajectory through the air, heading straight for the chest of a legendary giant ape.

The giant ape tried to block it with black mist.

However, the impact of the shell was too great, instantly penetrating its defenses and striking its chest directly.

The giant ape's body jolted violently, and it took several steps back.

But such injuries are not enough to kill it completely.

Just the next moment.

A dark yellow arrow seemed to pierce through space, striking the giant ape precisely between the eyebrows.

The black mist instantly dissipated under the impact of the arrows. The giant ape's body stiffened for a moment, then slowly collapsed, turning into a cloud of black dust.

"Miss Sand, well done!"

Fei Ya exclaimed in admiration.

On the city wall, Sha Jingjing stood on a high place, holding a bow and arrow that gleamed with a cold light.

That deadly arrow just now came from her hand.

On the other side of the city wall, Elder Iris of the Tree People walked heavily toward a legendary giant ape that was ramming against the wall.

His body was like a moving mountain, and every step he took made the earth tremble slightly.

Iris's voice was deep and powerful, as if it came from ancient times.

"My homeland will not be allowed to be violated!"

Iris stretched out her enormous branch arm and slammed it down on the giant ape.

The giant ape was not to be outdone and swung its enormous fist to meet the attack.

The collision of the two was like two mountains crashing together, producing a deafening roar.

Iris's branch-like arm trembled slightly from the giant ape's power, but he did not back down; instead, he increased his strength.

"boom!"

Iris's branch-like arm suddenly exerted force, forcefully pressing down on the giant ape's fist.

The giant ape's body was bent under the immense force.

Black mist continuously emanated from its body.

Taking advantage of the moment, Iris grabbed the giant ape's shoulder with her other arm, lifted it up suddenly, and then slammed it heavily to the ground.

"boom!"

The giant ape's body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Iris gave it no chance to catch its breath, raising its massive foot and stomping down.

The giant ape's body completely disintegrated beneath Iris's feet, turning into a cloud of black mist that dissipated into the air.

Iris slowly withdrew her foot, her gaze sweeping coldly over the battlefield.

His body stood like an unshakeable mountain in front of the city walls, forming a solid barrier for Rhine City.

However, the battle was not over.

In the distant forest, the sound of the flute still echoed, directing the beast tide's attack.

Although the legendary giant apes were temporarily repelled, more ferocious beasts and giant apes were pouring out from the depths of the forest, seemingly endless.

Xia En stood on the city wall, his gaze solemn.

He knew that relying solely on the fortifications on the city walls and the power of a few legendary experts would likely be insufficient to withstand an attack of this scale for an extended period.

"We must find a way to sever the Ancient Spirit Clan's control over the beast tide!"

"Shane said in a low voice."

Jane nodded, her gaze drifting to the distant forest: "Those flute sounds are key."

"If we can find the Ancient Elven race who can play the flute, we might be able to break their offensive."

After a moment of contemplation, Xia En decisively ordered, "Feiya, Sha Jingjing, you two stay on the city wall and continue the defense."

“String Song, Iris, you are responsible for clearing out the giant apes and beasts near the city walls.”

"Jane, the command is now in your hands."

Jane nodded, her gaze resolute.

"Don't worry, I will ensure that the city walls are perfectly defended."

Xia En took a deep breath, turned his gaze to the distant forest, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

“I will personally go into the forest, find the Ancient Spirits who are playing their flutes, and sever their control over the beast tide.”

Jian frowned slightly, somewhat worried, and said, "Xia En, the forest is full of dangers. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."

Xia En shook his head, his tone firm: "Time is of the essence, we have no other choice."

"Moreover, only I can find and resolve them in the shortest amount of time."

Jane was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Be careful, we will defend the city walls and wait for your return."

Xia En smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible."

After saying that, Xia En's figure flashed, and he used [Void Shuttle] repeatedly, speeding towards the distant forest.

……

……

In the forest, the trees are tall and dense.

The light was blocked by the dense foliage, making it appear exceptionally dim.

Shaun's figure darted swiftly among the trees as he activated his [Prying Eyes] vision, carefully searching for the source of the flute music.

As he ventured deeper into the forest, the sound of the flute grew clearer, as if it were coming from not far away.

Xia En's pace gradually slowed down.

His gaze swept warily around him, and the secret power of the void within his body surged quietly, ready to deal with any potential dangers at any moment.

Suddenly, his gaze locked onto a huge ancient tree.

The trunk of the ancient tree was covered with intricate runes, emitting a faint glow.

Among the branches of the ancient tree, several figures could be vaguely seen.

He was holding a long flute, playing that eerie flute music.

"found it!"

A cold glint flashed in Xia En's eyes, and he moved swiftly towards the ancient tree.

However, just as he was about to approach the ancient tree...

The surrounding trees suddenly shook violently, and several large giant apes rushed out of the shadows and blocked Shane's way.

These giant apes had bloodshot eyes and were surrounded by thick black mist, clearly indicating that they had been completely controlled by the power of the [Heartbreaker Apostle].

"There really was an ambush..."

Xia En snorted coldly, and the Void Secret Power within his body erupted instantly.

His figure flashed like a ghost, swiftly dodging the giant ape's attack.

The long, black blade in his hand drew out streaks of deep light, heading straight for the giant ape's vital points.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

The jet-black blade flashed through the air, instantly slicing open the throats of several giant apes.

The giant ape let out a painful roar and collapsed heavily to the ground.

Black mist seeped from their wounds and gradually dissipated.

However, more giant apes surged out from all sides, surrounding Shane completely.

Xia En's gaze was cold and stern, his hand gripping the long blade tightly, and the Void Secret Power within his body surged wildly.

He knew he had to break through the encirclement of these giant apes as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if they are bogged down, the defenses on the city walls will face even greater pressure.

"I don't have time to argue with you!"

Xia En let out a low shout, and the Void Secret Power within his body suddenly erupted.

His figure vanished instantly, and he used [Void Travel] again, heading straight for the [Ancient Spirit Clan] on the ancient tree.

"Stop him!"

On the ancient tree, a member of the Ancient Spirit Clan shouted sternly.

However, Shane was too fast, and the giant apes had no time to react.

His figure had already leaped onto the branches of the ancient tree, the long black blade in his hand pointing directly at the [Ancient Spirit Clan] who was playing the flute.

"it's over!"

Xia En's voice was icy, and his long blade suddenly thrust out.

The member of the Ancient Spirit Clan's pupils constricted as he tried to dodge, but it was too late.

"Pfft!"

The long, black blade pierced his chest with precision, and the flute music stopped abruptly.

The member of the Ancient Spirit Clan let out a shrill scream.

His body fell from the ancient tree and crashed heavily to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the other members of the Ancient Spirit Clan stopped playing and looked at Xia En in horror.

"You... how dare you..."

A member of the Ancient Spirit Clan spoke, trembling, his eyes filled with fear.

Xia En looked at them coldly, her tone icy: "That's enough!"
