With the words falling, a deafening roar echoed, and in the next second, an ugly black monster dozens of meters in size lunged from nearby.
A terrifying cry erupted from its mouth like a tornado, transforming into countless black air currents that swept towards everyone on the deck, piercing their eardrums and causing their faces to change drastically.
Immediately after, several people on the deck, caught off guard, were directly engulfed by these black air currents. They were blown away on the spot and fell from the large ship.
"Damn it!!"
Seeing this, Geng Nian's face turned grim with anger. He quickly shouted, "Quick, everyone attack together and activate the ship's protective formation!!"
Countless spiritual energies surged towards the formation on the ship like a tide. Soon, a faint cluster of light enveloped the large ship, bringing a sigh of relief to everyone.
However, before they could rejoice for a few seconds, the ship, now protected by the formation, became like a beacon in the darkness, instantly attracting the attention of the remaining monsters.
In an instant, countless dark creatures surged like a tide, their various attacks bombarding the ship's protective formation, causing the entire vessel to sway precariously, as if it might not hold.
"Damn it, why are these dark creatures stronger than before!"
Geng Nian's expression changed. Without further thought, he quickly said, "Quick, full speed ahead, we just need to reach the city!"
However, they were still some distance from the Lost City, which could not be reached in a short time. Relying solely on the protective formation to hold until they entered was undoubtedly unrealistic.
Geng Nian knew this and immediately shouted, "Divert some personnel to assist me in killing these monsters!!"
"I'll do it!"
"I'll do it!!"
Many people stepped forward. Seeing this, Ye Feng also joined them, leaping into the air with Geng Nian to attack the surrounding monsters.
"Thunder God Fist Technique, Third Form: Heavenly Thunder Descends!"
He shouted, unleashing the Thunder God Fist Technique. Countless bolts of lightning, like heavenly wrath, descended from the sky, striking the nearest monsters.
Caw~
A scream was heard, and in the next second, these monsters were reduced to dust, transforming into wisps of death qi that drifted towards Ye Feng.
"Hmph, good timing, I can use you to improve my cultivation!" Ye Feng, unfazed, immediately channeled his spiritual energy to envelop this death qi and began to refine it.
While he was refining, others nearby were also engaged in fierce battles with the monsters.
However, compared to Ye Feng, they were not as fortunate, being surrounded by numerous monsters and struggling to hold on.
"Be careful!!"
At this moment, a startled cry rang out. A monster, about half a meter in size and resembling a black eagle, attacked one of the burly men with incredible speed.
The man was focused on dealing with the monsters in front of him and hadn't noticed. By the time he sensed the danger, it was already too late to dodge.
But just as he thought he was about to meet his end, several piercing sounds echoed. Water arrows, emitting a white light, instantly pierced the black eagle, pinning it to the ship's deck.
"Are you alright? Be careful, these things are not weak!" Ye Feng said calmly as he controlled the Water-Fixing Beads to retrieve the white water arrows.
"I'm... I'm fine. Thank you, young brother. If you hadn't intervened, I would have been killed!" the burly man said gratefully, his face still pale.
"You're welcome!"
Ye Feng nodded slightly, then without further ado, he immediately controlled the water arrows condensed from the miraculous flowing water to attack other monsters.
With his assistance, the pressure on everyone was significantly reduced, and the large ship soon arrived safely above the Lost City.
"Quick, the ship is back, open the protective formation!" Seeing this, the guards of the Lost City quickly opened the protective formation to allow the ship to land.
However, at this moment, a terrifying dark creature with three eyes not far away also noticed this. It immediately charged forward as the protective formation was being opened.
"Not good, that monster wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get in, stop it!" Geng Nian shouted urgently, simultaneously slashing his saber at the three-eyed monster.
However, in the next second, to everyone's shock, the monster not only did not retreat from the attack of Geng Nian, who was at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, but instead let out a piercing scream.
Caw~
Then, one of its three eyes suddenly opened, and a black light beam shot out, directly blasting Geng Nian, along with his saber, flying backward.
"Captain Geng!!"
Seeing this, everyone on the ship was greatly alarmed. Ye Feng also showed a look of horror. The monster's strength exceeded his imagination, reaching the perfect Grandmaster realm!
But just as he was about to step forward to intervene, a chilling aura suddenly emanated from within the city. Then, a spear, over ten meters long, shot out from the city.
"How dare a mere monster be so presumptuous, die!!"
The moment the word "die" fell, the giant spear, like a rainbow piercing the sun, instantly pierced the three-eyed monster's massive body, obliterating it in the air.
Bang~
Instantly, a terrifying death qi, like ink, scattered, dyeing the surrounding sky black in an instant and lunging towards the people nearby.
"Hmph, still causing trouble even in death, disintegrate!"
Seeing this, the owner of the spear let out another cold snort. His tall figure appeared on the city wall. Holding his spear, he used his power to disintegrate the terrifying death qi.
In less than ten seconds, the death qi emitted by the three-eyed monster was instantly annihilated and disappeared without a trace!
Ye Feng's eyelids twitched, and he exclaimed in shock, "Such terrifying power! Not only did it kill a perfect Grandmaster monster with a single strike, but it could also disintegrate the death qi so quickly. Who is this person?"
As soon as he finished speaking, shouts of acclaim came from beside him, instantly changing his expression from surprise to disbelief.
"Magnificent! Commander Fan truly lives up to being the number one war god of our Lost City! Such power, truly formidable!"
"Indeed, with Commander Fan here, our Lost City will surely be safe. What can these mere dark creatures do to us?"
Listening to the cheers of the crowd, Ye Feng was utterly speechless. The person who had arrived was none other than the commander of the Lost City's defense, Fan Lie, Fan Yun's elder brother?
Ye Feng was greatly shocked. He had initially thought that as the commander of defense, Fan Lie's cultivation would only be slightly higher than Geng Nian's, perhaps around the perfect Grandmaster realm.
Unexpectedly, this fellow's strength was far beyond that. Judging by his imposing aura, even if he wasn't in the Heavenly Human realm, he was at least at the Half-step Heavenly Human realm!
What surprised Ye Feng even more was that after killing the three-eyed monster with a single strike, Fan Lie paid no attention to the cheers of the crowd. Instead, his gaze swept across the large ship, searching for something.
"Not good, this guy... he's not looking for me, is he!"
Ye Feng's expression changed instantly. However, before he could react, a figure suddenly stepped forward and whispered something into Fan Lie's ear.
After listening, Fan Lie's expression changed instantly. His gaze fixed intently on Ye Feng...
