Chapter 916 - 916 164 Army Surrounds the Island

916: Chapter 164: Army Surrounds the Island 916: Chapter 164: Army Surrounds the Island After everyone entered the Lost World, each had their own team.On normal days, one could practice alone or form groups to sweep the area, but more importantly, it was convenient to assemble into a large army at any time.

The so-called war sequence was based on this principle.

Of course, not all cultivators in the Lost World would participate in military formations.

For example, the main body of the army on Dingwei Floating Island was primarily composed of the Monks of Yang Valley.

During the war, while maintaining the integrity of the formation, they incorporated other cultivators as reinforcements.

At the time of the incident, Jiang Wang and Chu Mi were at the foot of the mountain at the island’s heart peak.

Hearing the commotion, like many cultivators, they flew directly towards the direction of White Stone Square.

From a distance, one could see that between the two tall Chinese steles lay the portal to the Floating Island.

At this moment, light patterns gently rippled, allowing the escaping cultivators to pass through.

If they were from the Sea Clan, they would be struck by the formation.

The cultivators who had fled back looked panicked, many bearing injuries, though none too severe.

Presumably, those severely wounded could not have escaped under such circumstances.

Each cultivator entering the island had to stand still at White Stone Square for a while before joining the ranks defending the island.

Jiang Wang observed for a while before understanding that this was to confirm that the cultivators who had escaped back to the island were indeed genuine Human Race cultivators and were not controlled by external forces.

The two tall Chinese steles provided the first level of detection, and White Stone Square, apart from being a place for meditation and recuperation, also served as the second level of detection.

From this aspect, it could not be said that the defenses of Dingwei Floating Island were insufficient.

“They are attacking, they are attacking!”

“The Sea Clan launched a full attack; it seems they want to completely wipe us out and monopolize the Dingwei region this time.”

“Delusion!”

Compared to these slightly chaotic noises, what Ding Jingshan had shouted earlier was more alarming to Jiang Wang.

The appearance of the White Elephant King, the leader of the Sea Clan in the Dingwei region, meant that the intensity of this battle had reached the highest level in the Dingwei region!

Was his luck a bit “too good”?

Having just arrived in the Dingwei region not long ago, he now faced such an intense battle?

But he thought to himself, in such a major battle, there was no need to specifically seek out commander-level Sea Clan members; perhaps it would be a little easier to complete the task of cleansing his sins…

of course, assuming he could survive this battlefield.

At that moment, Jiang Wang was not worried about whether Dingwei Floating Island would be breached.

He was not familiar enough with the Dingwei region.

In his view, the floating island had managed to resist five opponents in this area for so long; naturally, it had its reasons for existence.

Ding Jingshan was also a highly reliable fighter.

Having held on for so long in the past, it seemed unlikely that just by coincidence, it would fail today.

A while after Ding Jingshan’s voice fell, a tall figure appeared outside the Floating Island.

Who else could it be that dared blockade outside the Floating Island at this time if not the White Elephant King?

This leader of the Sea Clan from the Dingwei region appeared tall and stout, even friendly-looking.

Only on either side of his cheeks were there white circular bone plates, marking his Sea Clan heritage.

He did not bother with the Human Race cultivators who were still fleeing towards the Floating Island, but simply stared distantly at Ding Jingshan at the highest point of Dingwei Floating Island and bared his teeth in a smile, “Ding Jingshan, if you truly have such confidence, why not come out and take off my head?

To achieve glory and display valor on the battlefield, would it not be exhilarating?”

This Sea Clan king boldly came alone ahead of his troops to confront the entire Dingwei Floating Island, displaying great confidence.

It seemed he was not at all worried that the Human Race cultivators on Dingwei Floating Island could surround and kill him before the arrival of his army.

Ding Jingshan laughed heartily, “How hard is it to kill you?

But direct combat is mere brute courage, not the action of a famous general.

Besides, I sit entrenched on the Floating Island, prepared and waiting at ease.

Why should I abandon my advantageous position to accommodate you?

Do you think I’m brainless like your Sea Clan?”

Could the combined forces of powerful cultivators on the Floating Island surround and kill the White Elephant King?

If there was enough time, of course, it could be done!

But Ding Jingshan could not attempt this.

He could not ensure that the White Elephant King truly came alone without any backup.

If they attacked and it was an ambush, Dingwei Floating Island could very likely fall today.

In the Dingwei region, the human race was at an absolute disadvantage.

He was not qualified to take risks.

“You haven’t made any progress after all this time, still only good at mouthing off!” the White Elephant King sneered, “A general is the courage of his troops, if you lack courage, just surrender the island and spare yourself some blood debt.”

They had not yet genuinely clashed, but their voices were already “battling”!

Holding the power of the Eight-Tones Sea Burning, Jiang Wang could sense that the voices of the two powerful beings were like armies facing each other, attacking and killing.

It was a level he still could not interfere with.

Yet, as he watched the White Elephant King who faced the Floating Island alone, he felt no fear.

He had encountered many powerful beings and was not frightened by a pretender king of the Sea Clan.

After all, it was soldier against soldier, general against general, and his opponent was not this one.

His gaze passed over the White Elephant King and looked towards the slowly approaching layered shadows in the distance.

In reality, they were not slow, but because the visibility in the Lost World was so good and one could see too far, it appeared as slow.

The Sea Clan army was divided into five groups, presumably representing the five Sea Nests of the Dingwei region.

Arranged in five directions, they were all approaching at almost the same speed.

At this moment, Ding Jingshan responded, “White Elephant King, have you thought this through?

Rashly mobilizing troops to attack my Floating Island.

Are your Sea Clan truly prepared for an all-out war?”

The human and Sea Clan had been waging wars for years, but for the most part, they were kept within a minimal intensity.

This was because neither the Sea Clan nor the humans of the Eastern Region could afford the losses of launching a full-scale war.

Those histories of fierce battles were painful memories for both sides.

This war that spanned several great eras had not yet decided the final victor even today.

In the regions of the Lost World, the normal situation involved mutual hunting in the wilds between the human and Sea Clan.

The occasional destruction of a few Floating Islands or Sea Nests was considered minor warfare.

Ding Jingshan asked this question at this time because it naturally stemmed from the evolution of the sea lord’s inclinations.

The White Elephant King had maintained restraint for many years, never swallowing the last Floating Island in the Dingwei region.

Yet now he suddenly led his troops here; was it a rehearsal for the Sea Clan to start a full-scale war?

Did the Sea Clan believe they had accumulated enough strength and were confident in winning a full-scale war?

“Killing you, Ding Jingshan, and destroying a Floating Island would lead to a full-scale war?

You think too highly of yourself.

Who would start a major war for you?

Qi Country?

Just with a Yang Valley, would it be enough to provoke a full-scale war?”

The White Elephant King sneered coldly, “Considering our many years of acquaintance, I’m giving you a choice before my army arrives.”

Jiang Wang thought, it seemed that the Sea Clan was well aware of the power distribution among the human race, at least of the Near Sea Archipelago.

Then he heard the White Elephant King continue, “Hand over this person, and I will withdraw my troops!”

With a wave of his hand, a huge image appeared in the sky.

Who was so important that the White Elephant King was willing to wage war to demand him back?

Jiang Wang wondered.

He looked up and was instantly stunned.

Chu Mi next to him also suddenly turned his head, staring at him with wide eyes and a face full of shock.

The large image that appeared in the sky was unmistakably a handsome youth in the act of drawing his sword.

His eyebrows were firm, his thin lips slightly pursed, his whole figure like a tightly drawn bow, and the Longsword was like clear autumn water.

Although the image had no physical form, one could feel the imminent aura of menace!

It was Jiang Wang himself!

It was how he had remained in the memory of those few Sea Clan members he had intimidated into retreating.

For a moment, it felt as if an old monk named Ku Jue was jumping out inside his heart, cursing loudly.

He hurled a litany of insults, tortoise, bastard, and all sorts of abuses.

Is it necessary?

Me, just a minor cultivator from the Inner Mansion Realm, was first encircled and attacked by nine Commander-level Sea Clan.

Unable to succeed, now you, a respected Sea Clan royal, bring an army to exterminate me?

…

…

(On the first day of 2021, I still love this story!

I will strive this year, too!)
