He tightly gripped the massive shield in his hand, standing firm like a mountain, his roar echoing through the clouds:
"Power of the Earth, protect me completely!"
Instantly, using his massive shield as a base,
Yellow soil gathered like a tide, rapidly solidifying into an indestructible earthen wall, completely engulfing the raging flames.
Earth-element talent, unparalleled defense!
"Heh heh, an earth-element talent user, you dare to try and stop me?"
Nakamura Kenta's eyes were wide with fury, his face contorted with ferocity,
"Break it for me!"
The Flame Shikigami, receiving the command, slammed violently into the earthen wall,
That earthen wall, capable of withstanding the full force of a third-tier fierce beast's attack,
Under the Flame Shikigami's furious impact, instantly shattered, turning into scattered soil filling the sky.
"Puchi!"
Long Haoran's body trembled, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.
A fourth-tier expert's attack possessed immense power, not something he could easily withstand.
However, facing the approaching Flame Shikigami,
Long Haoran showed no intention of backing down, an unyielding flame burning in his eyes.
He possessed an earth-element talent and started with a fine steel shield,
All of this meant he was a rock-solid shield for the team!
As long as he didn't die, no one would even think of harming Li Xinyi, who had high attack and low defense.
So, he gritted his teeth,
Mobilizing all the strength in his body, preparing to use his flesh and blood to directly confront the Flame Shikigami with its towering flames!
Suddenly, a strange fluctuation flashed behind Nakamura Kenta,
Followed by,
An invisible outline gradually became clear,
It was Zhou Yu! (Zhou Yu possessed a D-grade Stealth talent)
"Go to hell!"
Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, his long sword thrusting like lightning towards the back of Nakamura Kenta's heart, intending to interrupt his offensive,
As long as he could eliminate this 4th-tier expert, the scales of victory would tip halfway towards Divine Xia!
However,
"Clang!!"
A crisp sound of metal colliding suddenly rang out,
Zhou Yu's long sword was actually firmly parried by a sudden katana!
Then, another lurking figure slowly emerged,
It was a masked ninja, exuding a dangerous aura!
"Heh heh, Shen Xia, you want to ambush Nakamura Kenta, first ask my katana!"
The ninja sneered, his katana suddenly spinning,
Taking a fiercely sharp arc directly towards Zhou Yu's vital points.
"Damn it!"
Zhou Yu cursed inwardly, only able to hastily retract his sword to block.
Zhou Yu's surprise attack plan thus failed,
And over there, the terrifying Shikigami seized the opportunity to unleash its power, suddenly pouring all its strength onto Long Haoran, who was not far away.
"Puff!"
Long Haoran suffered a heavy blow, blood spurted from his mouth like a gushing spring, and his body, like a leaf blown by a strong wind, fell weakly into the sea.
Fortunately, Long Haoran desperately resisted for a while, buying precious time for Yang Zimo.
Yang Zimo seized the opportunity, his right fist suddenly swelled like it was being inflated, and he fiercely punched the Flame Shikigami back.
"Hmph, a bit troublesome!"
Nakamura Kenta's face grew even gloomier, and he impatiently urged,
"Yamada-kun, stop delaying, finish this quickly!"
"Hai!"
Yamada Taro responded and moved, his body soaring into the air,
The samurai sword in his hand gleamed with cold light, aiming directly for Li Xinyi's vital points.
Crisis was imminent,
Li Xinyi gritted her silver teeth, releasing the mental power in her mind without reservation,
A strange power instantly enveloped the samurai sword in Yamada Taro's hand, causing it to twist as if by an invisible hand, bending like a twisted rope.
"Nani?"
Yamada Taro, in his astonishment, reacted quickly,
Discarding the deformed samurai sword, he backhandedly drew the short blade from his waist and fiercely stabbed towards Li Xinyi's prominent chest.
At this moment, Li Xinyi felt the world spinning, her physical strength and mental power both approaching their limits.
Facing this unavoidable strike, a look of determination flashed in her eyes,
"Since I can't dodge it, I won't!"
Thus, two lines of cold light-flashing metal blades abruptly appeared by her side,
Like the scythes of the Grim Reaper, shooting towards Yamada Taro with a determined intent.
"Baka, you actually want to die together with me!"
Yamada Taro was greatly shocked,
He was a noble Great Fuso warrior, how could he die together with a Shen Xia.
He hastily retreated, abandoning the idea of continuing to attack Li Xinyi.
Although Yamada Taro retreated, Li Xinyi still spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood,
Her entire body seemed to have been drained of all strength, and she collapsed weakly onto the ground,
This was the severe consequence of mental power exhaustion; she was no longer able to fight.
At this moment, Yang Zimo, transformed into a rubber man, tightly entangled the Flame Shikigami,
This thing's threat was too great; if left unchecked,
Their side's 30 people would likely be killed by the Flame Shikigami before long.
A 4th-tier B-grade talent user was truly too terrifying!
But, at this moment,
Nakamura Kenta's fingers quickly outlined some kind of rune in the air, then pointed at Yang Zimo,
"Heavenly Thunder Charm!"
Fan Yingying, who was currently grappling with a Fuso warrior, was sharp-eyed and careful,
Seeing the situation, she immediately shouted loudly,
"Brother Yang! Watch out for Nakamura Kenta's sneak attack!"
However, it was already too late,
A dazzling bolt of lightning tore through the sky,
Suddenly striking Yang Zimo,
Electricity, like a snake, instantly traveled throughout his body, causing Yang Zimo to feel a wave of paralysis and powerlessness,
The Flame Shikigami seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, heavily striking down the defenseless Yang Zimo, who fell into the turbulent sea.
Fortunately, Yang Zimo, relying on the powerful resilience of his C-grade Rubberization talent,
Even after suffering a heavy blow, did not sustain substantial injury.
He struggled to get up in the water, and wherever his gaze fell, the warships of Divine Xia and Fuso were intertwined in a chaotic battlefield.
Due to the cruel rules of the survival gamble and historical grievances,
Every move and every strike was aimed directly at vital points, showing no mercy.
Although the Divine Xia side, relying on a surprise strategy,
First sank a Fuso warship, gaining a temporary advantage,
But the Fusang People had, after all, won the previous gamble, and the advantage in basic attributes gradually allowed them to gain the upper hand.
As time passed,
The disadvantage on the Divine Xia side became increasingly apparent, the warriors' physical strength and morale began to wane,
Facing the increasingly fierce offensive from the Fusang People, the situation became more critical.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh~"
Accompanied by a series of chilling sounds of air being torn,
The Bronze-grade rocket launchers equipped on the Ryujo Maru suddenly fired in unison, like the breath of a fire dragon,
Instantly engulfing a Divine Xia warship in blazing flames, its durability dropped to zero in an instant, and the warship violently sank.
"This is bad!"
Yang Zimo's heart sank,
With the sinking of this warship, Fuso's five warships, like cheetahs hunting prey, began to form a steadily tightening encirclement around Divine Xia's remaining four warships.
"Retreat!"
"Everyone retreat!"
Yang Zimo's teeth were tightly clenched, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth,
He knew deeply that hesitation at this moment would bring irreparable losses,
Once completely surrounded by Fuso warships, the Divine Xia side would fall into a desperate situation, and the losses would only be more severe.
His heart was filled with unwillingness, but reason told him,
Preserving strength and seeking a turning point was the wisest choice at present.
