Chapter 193: Hun Tong’s Hidden Trump Card

The Lightning Pirates and Stench Pirates had fought at the Wealth Church, but now in the city government building, they began to cooperate.

Pirates were like this.

Profit seekers!

But as they planned their attack, they suddenly heard fishmen shouting.

“Agm”

“Rarlgrglnanlgm”

“Anlgarlnarlnglnmarg”

“lnaglnr”

The shouts were coming like the tide, they layered upon each other in unending prestige that was growing ever vaster.

Dian Wan, Yang Cong Tou, and the rest were experienced fighters and immediately changed color when they heard it.

“How can there be so many fishmen here?”

“Those sounds, the fishmen have come ashore.”

“What is Hun Tong doing? Is the frontline dying?”

“Hahaha, if Two Eyes Island is taken back by the fishmen, the Duo Mu Clan’s face will be darkened.

Some pirates were bewildered, others rejoicing in Hun Tong’s misfortune.

Dian Wan and Yang Cong Tou glanced at each other, both saw the other’s grave expression.

The military situation had changed dramatically.

They no longer dared to attack the city government building.

The city government building had defenses, and if it depleted them too much, even if they stole the valuables, they would soon drown in a tide of murderous fishmen.

“Go, scout out what the situation is.” Dian Wan ordered.

Yang Cong Tou also looked at his first mate, the latter immediately went to investigate.

Zi Di keeping watch in the Deep Sea Monster Fish was the first to discover the dramatic change.

She was amazed when she saw the fishman army through the projection, “What happened? How did those fishmen get ashore?”

Nothing obviously peculiar had happened.

Zi Di flipped back to a past magic image, but didn’t find anything.

These fishmen suddenly appeared on the coastline, then began charging ashore.

Now, there were large amounts of fishmen constantly appearing on beaches, following the fishmen that were shaking the skies with their rallying cries as they charged with all of their strength.

Zi Di watched closely, her expression gradually changing.

“That is an exceptionally good camouflage magic, no, it is a divine spell. “She looked at the clues, “This divine spell’s power is similar to the Pearl Bubbles?!”

Zi Di promptly informed the dragonman youngster via alchemy device about the latest battle progress.

Divine spell – Pearl Illusion.

The one using this divine spell was the naga priestess.

To do so, she didn’t hesitate to use a Pearl Bubble that had been in her collection for many years.

The one she believed in was the Charming Blue Goddess.

But the Charming Blue Goddess’ divine artifact, the Mermaid Fairy Tale, had been lost for many years, and the sect could no longer produce them, thus they were extremely precious.

If the naga priestess wasn’t trying to protect the purple scaled fishman and Shi Fa, she wouldn’t have gritted her teeth and used it.

The divine spell “Pearl Illusion” was an excellent camouflage and deception.

The naga priestess used the divine spell on the fishman main army on the frozen land whale.

The fishman main army then quietly entered the sea and stealthily swan to Two Eyes Island.

Even though Hun Tong, Yan Ding, and the others were constantly watching, even Zi Di on the Deep Sea Monster Fish had been duped, causing them to be astonished when the fishman main army began to attack.

“I know, you believe in the Charming Blue Goddess!” Yang Ding’s eyes flashed as he blurted that out.

“Impudent, you dared my Goddess’ name like that!” The naga priestess exploded in anger, and she used a divine spell to attack Yan Ding violently.

Yan Ding urged his black cloud back quickly as Hun Tong’s clone thrusted his blade towards the naga priestess like lightning.

“I don’t think so!” The old fishman elder shouted.

The frozen land whale sprayed a stream of water.

The fishman elder rode the jet of water to Hun Tong’s clone.

Both sides ruthlessly clashed, and the clan elder succeeded in blocking the alchemy clone’s thrust.

“Let’s have a good battle this time!” The old clan elder spat out, most of the pressure on him had alleviated.

Before, his hands had been tied defending the fishman main army and he was forced to take a beating.

Now that the fishman army had gotten onto the island and launched their offensive, he was no longer worried.

The naga priestess used a divine spell to turn from defense to offense, allowed the fishman main force to use their military might, and also freed up the clan elder, doing two things at once.

This was why casters needed to be eliminated first during battles.

Compared to fighters, casters had many more tricks and after they were used, they were harder to counteract, usually costing several folds the casting cost.

Like now, when the naga priestess used a divine spell to break the impasse and reestablishing the fishmen’s dominance.

The fishman main army intentionally went around the port and landed on another seacoast.

When the war began, the human troops were mainly concentrated in three places. 

The auction hall, the port, and the city guard barracks.

Now, the cultivators in the auction hall had dispersed and were falling apart. Some sacrificed themselves, and others were conversely looting Two Eyes Island.

At the port battlefield, in the wake of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps breaking out, and the Vinegar Jar relocating, it had been reduced to the place where Song Shou and Er Gua Zi were fighting. 

After the city guard barracks relocated almost all personnel, Xi Dai Zi and his people reduced it to rubble.

Thus, the fishman main army didn’t have any obstructions and marched straight in unchallenged.

Fragmentary resistance was instantly drowned in the surging fishman assault.

Although many of the fishmen had been slain by Yan Ding, after merging with the reserves, there were still a considerable amount of them.

In terms of quantity, they had the most troops on Two Eyes Island.

These fishmen also had exuberant morale.

They were retaking their homeland for their clan.

Every fishman fighter that fell would be remembered by kith and kin for a lifetime.

Every fishman that died in battle would cause much grief and hatred.

That hatred encouraged the fishman main army morale!

“The fishmen are ferocious!”

“We can’t defend.”

Mei Ban shot several times, and after he saw the dauntless fishmen didn’t fear death, he judged that he should quietly retreat.

He had protected the Flint Store for long enough.

Inside the store, when the wandering ronin Ku Feng received Mei Ban’s message, he immediately urged, “Quickly, organize the people, it is time to leave.”

Many salesclerks still believed for the best, and one amongst them yelled, “We’ve won!”

“Neither Dian Wan nor Yang Cong Tou dared to offend us.”

“Perhaps we can stop defending!”

Ku Feng glanced at them and coldly replied, “Then you can stay behind, I will go first.”

The salesclerks’ hearts jumped, and they changed color one after the other. None dared to stay, and all of them followed Ku Feng as he evacuated.

The fishmen had safety in numbers, and they rapidly flooded the streets around the Flint Store.

“Hahaha, our main force has come!” In the Vinegar Jar, Peng Ding Zi and the others cheered.

“Abominable!” Hu Li gnashed his teeth.

The fishman main force’s arrival had reduced his chances of seizing the Vinegar Jar to near zero.

“We must go!” Hu Li waved his hand, swiftly departing with the resentful frogmen.

In front of the city government building, Dian Wan and Yang Cong Tou knew things were far from good, and they both retreated with their groups.

Pirates were slippery.

They only thought of getting rich, and stopping the fishman main force was in no way their business.

They moved as quickly as the wind.

In addition, the fishman main force’s goal was capturing Two Eyes Island, and the hastily retreating pirates were no concern to them.

Soon after, the pirates reached the water and climbed onto their boats.

These were landing skiffs and all of them sunk deeply into the water.

They were weighed down by the riches they had plundered from Two Eyes Island!

At the subterranean abyss magic formation.

“I found it!” Shi Fa suddenly opened his eyes; they were full of pleasant surprise.

The purple scaled fishman’s method was very sensible.

By searching the cemetery, they found traces.

The sum of these clues led many ways.  

After eliminating most of those paths, and through trial and error, Shi Fa found their true objective.

“Well done!” The purple scaled fishman cheered.

“So, it was actually there. Without this special search magic, how could we ever find it?”

The purple scaled fishman sighed, then said, “The Blue Green Coral Clan’s fishman army has already attacked the island, let’s take advantage of this golden opportunity to retrieve Hai Ping’s corpse.”

The real reason the naga priestess decided to use a divine spell to protect the fishman main army was to protect their transportation of that corpse.

Battle skill – Large Tentacles, stage five!

Qi You flew through the air, gold battle qi gushing all over him.

Battle qi condensed into octopus tentacles, and with gold brilliance, swept towards Hun Tong.

Hun Tong moved nimbly, leaving an afterimage as he dodged it.

Qi You used the battle skill again, and his large tentacles returned to protect him from all sides.

“Qi You, got any more tricks? If you don’t use them now, your Two Eyes Island will really come to an end!” Qi You cackled, complacent on the outside, but vigilant within.

The more he fought Hun Tong, the more he felt the latter was putting on a show, and that he was calm and collected beneath the surface.

Hun Tong suddenly stopped high in the air.

He indifferently glanced at the new island, at the fishmen army fighting all over, and also saw all of the ships sailing away with their valuables.

“It is time to attack.” Hun Tong said to himself.

The fishman main army wasn’t the main target.

Hun Tong focused more on those pirates.

He wouldn’t look on passively as these pirates ran off with all of the island’s riches.

If he missed this opportunity, hunting down these pirate groups large and small in the boundless ocean would waste an immense amount of time, energy, and so on, along with possible losses inflicted during the recapturing.

Hun Tong put away his dagger and smiled at Qi You, “You feel don’t you.”

“I have to thank you, Qi You.”

“Thank you for putting on this show with me.”

“Now, as thanks, as a token of my thanks, how about I give you the gift of death?”

Qi You was completely focused, his entire body tense.

A moment later, all of his hair prickled, and an alarm bell rang in his heart!

Whoosh!

A pillar of light fell from the sky.

Before Qi You could react, the pillar of light shot him head on.

With a loud bang, he was launched into the ocean, creaking a gigantic wave.

Such a startling change attracted the gazes of every party.

Hun Tong floated in the air, raised his arms, and shouted, “It is time for you to come onto the stage.”

“My flagship, I summon you!”

“Defend our riches, slaughter these bandits.”

“Glorify the Duo Mu clan!”

The light beam that shot Qi You thinned, weakened, and quickly dissipated.

From the light beam that shot through the clouds, a magic ship slowly fell.

“That’s?”

“A flying airship!”

“A gold level magic ship!”
