Chapter 924: Chapter 50: The 36th Year of the Jingxin Calendar, Prince Liang Dies! (Seeking Monthly Tickets for 15,000 Words)
The "Near and Far" technique activates, immediately starting to help Ye Yuxong escape!
"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish~"
Clouds burst at low altitude.
Just after escaping for half a quarter.
Zhao Xing realized he couldn’t fly very high.
Desert Marsh County was illuminated on all sides by beams of light, which quickly bent like spreading waves.
In a short time, Desert Marsh County was blocked.
"Bang!"
Zhao Xing activated the "Near and Far" technique, only to crash into the barrier.
"The sky is locked by the boundary array."
"Break break break break break break break!" Ye Yuxong drew his long sword, instantly stabbing hundreds of times.
But the barrier could not be broken!
"Coming for me!" Ye Yuxong cursed, "This is a blockade array formed by ninth-rank boundary monuments!"
"Martial Artists’ secret techniques will be weakened by eighty percent."
Dammit!
Zhao Xing saw the pale blue array with a grim expression.
Not only was Ye Yuxong’s power reduced by eighty percent.
"A boundary monument blockade array that permits entry but forbids exit, it’s preparation for the bombing behind."
"Go down!"
Zhao Xing grabbed Ye Yuxong, and all clones swiftly descended.
"Boom!"
Just then, the forest they had just left exploded, forming a gigantic mushroom cloud.
The forest had turned into a sea of fire, and the massive fire blast was spreading around.
The sky was illuminated!
A clone of Zhao Xing, slightly behind in position, was suddenly obliterated.
"Damn, a ninth-rank Fire Source Divine Cannon?"
Ye Yuxong cursed loudly.
"That bastard Huan You King, utterly insane!"
Although Desert Marsh County wasn’t densely populated, there were people!
Using a Fire Source Divine Cannon for bombardment, truly insane!
"Even at cost price, a single Fire Origin Divine Crystal is worth 800 million; is killing a Marquis Changwu worth it?"
Of course it is; Ye Yuxong broke through to Second Grade, and Zhao Xing has nearly two hundred Dharma Bodies here.
The Military Realm Passage is a strategic military point; it’s not a matter of money, but worth any cost to hold it!
Whoosh~
Zhao Xing also rushed to flee with all his might.
Now there’s only escape.
Because the Fire Source Divine Cannon is a long-range mechanical heavy weapon, Qi Jun, the Mechanical Master, might have fired from a thousand miles away; it’s impossible for them to find and kill him.
"Boom!"
In fifteen minutes, another fiery red stream quickly fell to the ground.
"Boom~"
The second Fire Source Divine Cannon fired!
Genuine bombardment!
Every occupation has its extremes, and now Zhao Xing and Ye Yuxong faced absolute suppression from the Mechanical Master!
"Escape Underground!"
Zhao Xing’s clones instantly burrowed into the ground, leaving two on the surface to guide and observe.
He took Ye Yuxong tunneling underground for nearly an hour when the ground suddenly shook.
The earth veins suddenly weakened significantly, drastically reducing Zhao Xing’s speed.
"What’s wrong?" Ye Yuxong asked.
"We have to go up." Zhao Xing said gravely.
"Taowu Divine Needle from heaven has pierced down."
Ye Yuxong heard this and shook his head: "Really taking me seriously."
The Taowu Divine Needle is described this way as it is part of large Mechanical School heavy weapons, although its size is relatively small.
In reality, each one is a hundred meters high with a ten-meter diameter!
At this moment, Zhao Xing observing above ground could see eighteen Taowu Divine Needles descending from the sky.
"Psssh~"
The Divine Needle pierced the soil as if through tofu.
"Crack crack crack crack crack crack~"
After sinking one-third, the black cylindrical body emitted thick yellow mist.
Yellow light flowed within the secret patterns on the surface at a unique frequency.
"A ninth-rank Taowu Divine Needle created by a Mechanical Master can suppress earth veins, causing them to hide, while vibrating in unique rhythm, rendering all escape skills ineffective."
"It’s like the Ocean Stabilizing Divine Needle, but the Taowu Divine Needle stabilizes the land!"
Even Ye Yuxong, with his earth escape treasures, found them all ineffective.
If already underground with the escape skill, besides being crushed by earth, there were no other possibilities.
Both were from the army, very familiar with such large-scale heavy weapons.
Boundary monument blockade array, Fire Source Divine Cannon bombardment, Taowu Divine Needle prohibiting earth escape.
Indeed, no way up to heaven or down to earth.
The key was, people trapped inside wanted to fight desperately but couldn’t.
Mechanical Masters weren’t even here; how to fight?
Not afraid of damage; as the boundary monuments and Taowu Divine Needles were made from ninth-order materials.
Ye Yuxong, limited to eighty percent power, couldn’t break through!
Yet... it seemed like they overlooked my presence? Zhao Xing thought silently.
Rumble rumble~
The bombardment continued.
Ye Yuxong gradually felt despair.
It felt similar to when Ji Xi faced Kunyuan Academy’s Ten Thousand Mountains.
No escape, no resistance!
"Really taking me seriously." Ye Yuxong laughed and shook his head, "Too bad, since reaching Second Grade, I haven’t cut down an enemy."
Ye Yuxong believed he couldn’t escape anymore.
Luckily, Zhao Xing only brought clones, just losing two ancient coins.
"Big brother, don’t give up, there’s always a way!" Zhao Xing encouraged. "Can they keep bombing?"
"But my strength is limited." Ye Yuxong shook his head, "It’s hard for me to withstand the bombardment, unless I avoid the core area each time, only blocking the aftermath."
"To clean a county land with saturation attack, nine shots are the limit." Zhao Xing said.
"I can take you fleeing in Desert Marsh County for quite a while! Enough to hold until reinforcements arrive."
"Alright, try it then, at worst, it’s just death." Ye Yuxong laughed, for such a battlefield level, reinforcements would take at least an hour to arrive; he accepted it.
