With an additional two hundred fresh troops from the Night Watch, the situation stabilized instantly.
Under the combined assault, the Golden High-tier Tiger Shark locked in combat with Lu Tiangang was soon covered in wounds.
Xuanming Overlord Slash!
Seizing the opportunity when the Tiger Shark was forced back by its teammates, Lu Tiangang unleashed his most potent attack.
A sword energy nearly ten meters long slashed down.
With a flash of cold light, the Tiger Shark’s head was severed.
"Excellent!"
"City Lord is mighty!"
Seeing their City Lord finally slay the Tiger Shark, the evolvers atop the city walls roared in celebration.
"Roar!"
However, the crowd's cheers were abruptly drowned out by a colossal roar.
Everyone looked up towards the distant sea.
A monstrous wave suddenly surged, and a silver figure flickered in and out of sight within the churning water.
The onlookers felt as if they were being targeted by a prehistoric beast, a chill permeating their bodies.
"City Lord Lu, quickly contact our Commander Mu and find King Qin'an as soon as possible. This might be a Platinum Sea Beast," a Night Watch member stammered, his face pale with terror.
Lu Tiangang’s expression shifted drastically. He took out a communication talisman and contacted Mu Ziping again.
"Commander Mu, a Platinum Sea Beast has appeared in Dujiang City. Please find a way to inform King Qin'an immediately."
"Shen Feixue in Tianzhu has sent word that our King's phantom is currently patrolling Tianzhu. I will relay this message to him as quickly as possible. For now, just stall the sea beast; do not engage it directly."
"Understood."
After hanging up the communication talisman, Mu Ziping contacted the city lords in Tianzhu who also possessed communication talismans.
Lu Tiangang’s side finally got a clear view of the figure in the waves – a silver electric eel, thirty to forty meters long.
The Thunder Silver Eel’s slender body exuded a dazzling silver light above the sea, its twin ten-meter-long whiskers drifting in the wind, occasionally crackling with silver lightning.
Lu Tiangang shouted, "Everyone, be careful of its lightning attacks!"
As soon as he spoke, the Thunder Silver Eel transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot towards the city walls.
Behind the eel, dozens of Golden Sea Beasts also swam towards the shore.
The captains of the Night Watch immediately dispatched a small contingent to intercept the Golden Sea Beasts, while the rest of the group focused their attention on the approaching Thunder Silver Eel.
"Release!"
The two captains of the Night Watch shouted in unison.
Numerous ice balls, vines, and other restraining abilities were unleashed towards the silver figure flying forward.
Suddenly, a blinding white light flashed, and the ice balls and vines shattered and vanished under the eel's lightning attack.
Then, several bolts of lightning as thick as arms lashed out towards the Night Watch members in mid-air.
Countless energy shields, shimmering with golden light, instantly formed before them, deflecting the incoming lightning.
The members used the opportunity to dodge to the side.
The energy shields shattered instantaneously, and the lightning grazed the group, striking the distant city walls with a deafening explosion, blasting away a large section of stone.
The eel’s two long whiskers writhed, sending continuous bolts of lightning into the crowd.
Under the command of their captains, the Night Watch members desperately resisted. However, due to the immense power of the lightning, within two minutes, several members were unable to evade and were sent flying, crashing into the sea beast swarm below, unable to rise for a long time.
Fortunately, their teammates swiftly flew to rescue them, otherwise, they might have perished in the mouths of ordinary sea beasts instead of falling to the eel.
Dazzling lightning flared again, and several more Night Watch members were sent flying and crashed to the ground.
The attacks from the group, however, could not inflict any damage on the eel.
A sense of despair began to grip the hearts of everyone.
"Hold on, everyone, King Qin'an will be here soon!" Lu Tiangang suddenly shouted.
"City Lord Lu, did our King's phantom clone happen to be nearby?" someone asked with surprise.
"Uh!" Lu Tiangang hesitated. "Commander Mu said our companions in Tianzhu have contacted King Qin'an's phantom, and he is on his way."
The hope that had just ignited in the crowd was instantly extinguished.
The distance from Tianzhu to here was at least two to three thousand kilometers.
Even if King Qin'an flew at his fastest, it would take nearly an hour.
Under the powerful onslaught of the eel, the entire group would likely be annihilated in less than ten minutes.
The fear of death descended upon everyone, yet no one made a move to flee.
"Hahaha, you will all obediently become our food!"
The eel’s arrogant voice suddenly echoed in everyone’s minds.
It moved like a silver dragon, weaving through the crowd.
Continuous bolts of lightning struck in all directions.
Despite the Night Watch members' close coordination, they were sent flying and crashing down one after another under the barrage of lightning.
The city walls below were shattered, and countless evolvers on the walls were killed.
"Roar!"
Perhaps realizing that its ordinary lightning bolts couldn't kill the Night Watch members instantly, the eel let out a furious roar. Its whiskers stood erect, and two massive bolts of lightning formed above them.
"Run!"
Lu Tiangang, seeing this, shouted immediately.
Everyone turned and fled into the distance, attempting to temporarily evade the eel’s powerful strike.
"Where do you think you're going!"
The eel continued to charge its lightning while rapidly pursuing the crowd.
Looking at the lightning bolts as thick as water buckets, and then at the eel’s speed, which was almost that of lightning,
Everyone’s hearts sank. It was likely that someone would be blasted into pieces by this attack in the next second.
Just then, a streak of lightning suddenly shot towards them from afar.
Boom!
The distant lightning bolt violently collided with the Thunder Silver Eel's body.
Gushing crimson blood erupted like a fountain.
The eel’s slender body was instantly severed into two, and then both halves froze as if petrified, falling rigidly to the ground.
"Damn you, human, I'll electrocute you to death!"
Even though it had been cut in half by Qin Shilei's sword, the eel was not yet dead. Through telepathic communication, it raged in Qin Shilei's mind.
Its body stiff, it forcefully directed the lightning from its whiskers towards Qin Shilei.
Qin Shilei glanced at the colossal lightning bolts approaching, showing no intention of dodging. Instead, he actively moved to meet the lightning.
"Awesome, again!"
Under the impact of the opponent’s lightning, Qin Shilei felt an invigorating sensation, and the vital energy within him seemed to become more agile.
However, the eel, afflicted by the divine ability's rigidity, could not unleash another lightning bolt. With a thunderous crash, it slammed heavily onto the ground below, crushing countless sea beasts.
The two seconds passed quickly. The eel, dragging its half-body, turned and fled towards the distant sea.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Qin Shilei moved, a teleportation blocking the eel’s path. With a swing of his right hand, he carved off another large chunk of flesh.
"You dare!"
The eel's whiskers twitched, rapidly lashing out towards Qin Shilei.
Just as Qin Shilei was about to raise his sword to sever the whiskers, his heart stirred, and he allowed the whiskers to entwine him.
The two ten-meter-long whiskers instantly bound Qin Shilei like a zongzi.
A dazzling silver light flashed, and an extremely high-voltage current appeared on the whiskers, surging towards Qin Shilei.
Flashes of lightning continuously danced and flowed over Qin Shilei's body.
Under this barrage of lightning, which could instantly melt a person, Qin Shilei wore a look of contentment.
The Thunder Seed within his body was rapidly absorbing the foreign lightning, continuously evolving.
"Monster!"
After a full ten minutes of being electrocuted, only to find Qin Shilei completely unharmed, the eel was close to breaking down.
Its spiritual energy was largely depleted, and coupled with the severed half of its body, its aura began to weaken.
Just as it was about to release Qin Shilei and flee again, a thought arose in its mind.
"I'll strangle you!"
Its two long whiskers suddenly constricted, preparing to strangle Qin Shilei to death.
