Chapter 856 - 855: The Sea Demon Commander’s Confusion! Slaying 3 Integration Realm Peaks With 1 Sword Strike!

The Sea Demon Commander froze, suspecting its ears were playing tricks on it. After a long while, it furrowed its brows and asked uncertainly.

"Are you sure Gu Yuexi’s Beast Pet is a mosquito?

"An ordinary White-striped Aedes Mosquito, the kind you can see everywhere on the streets?"

The subordinate thought about it seriously before nodding firmly.

"Yes, that’s what the intelligence from the Human Race says."

The Sea Demon Commander immediately retorted with absolute certainty.

"This information must be fake, deliberately released to confuse us.

"Gu Yuexi is so powerful; how could she possibly use a mosquito as a Beast Pet?

"Who would believe that if you told them?!"

The Sea Demon Commander scoffed, a look of "having everything under control" appearing on its face.

"I have already seen through the Human Race’s scheme.

"First, they use Gu Yuexi as bait to lure our army into an ambush.

"Then, they use a mix of true and false information to confuse our judgment and make us underestimate her.

"Finally, when we let our guard down, they will take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on our army and catch us off guard.

"Hmph! These petty tricks are recorded in the military strategy of the Human Race!

"What was it called again...

"Right, to make the empty seem full, and the full seem empty!"

The Sea Demon Commander confidently tilted its head up, feeling it had seen through everything. All the irrationalities had found a perfect explanation.

But soon, its subordinate brought it crashing back to reality.

"Commander, the news that Gu Yuexi’s Beast Pet is a mosquito has been cross-verified by multiple spies of ours.

"It is absolutely true, without a single trace of falsehood."

The Sea Demon Commander’s smile instantly stiffened on its face. Its mouth twitched incessantly, unable to speak for a long time. In all its years of leading troops in battle, it had never been wrong over and over again on the same matter. And every single time, it had been so outrageously wrong.

The Sea Demon Commander felt a splitting headache coming on and irritably waved its hand at the subordinate.

"Roll as far away as possible!"

The subordinate scratched his head in confusion but didn’t dare to hesitate in the slightest. He immediately dropped to the ground and literally rolled away into the distance. His speed was extremely fast! And he was quite professional at it! In no time at all, he completely disappeared from the Sea Demon Commander’s line of sight.

Only then did the Sea Demon Commander return its gaze to the city wall. It recalled the intelligence it had gathered, but the more it thought about it, the more confused it became.

"A Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Realm with a Mosquito Beast Pet, defending a frontline all by themselves?

"Did something go wrong internally within the Human Race? Are the main generals at odds with Gu Yuexi, intentionally trying to get her killed using us?

"But she’s a Beast Tamer who has been fighting single-handedly for so long. Why hasn’t she summoned her Beast Pet?"

The Sea Demon Commander sorted through piece after piece of intelligence, feeling like its brain was turning to mush without finding a single clue. Although it considered itself a supreme intellect among the Sea Demon Race, it couldn’t help but begin to doubt itself now.

"Where is my brain???"

Meanwhile, above the city wall.

The Flying Shark Sea Demon Brothers were unaware of that intelligence regarding Gu Yuexi, but they had already deeply experienced one thing: Gu Yuexi’s comprehension of the Power of Law far exceeded the three of them combined. This left them trembling in fear, sapping away most of their courage to even fight.

"You... you can’t possibly just be at the Divinity Transformation Realm!

"You must be hiding your Cultivation!" the second brother of the Flying Shark Sea Demons questioned once more, shouting at Gu Yuexi. Its voice carried an unconcealable terror.

Gu Yuexi couldn’t be bothered to respond to them. She had wasted enough time on these three Sea Demons. With a stir of her Divine Thought, she slowly raised the Godslaying Ruins Sword in her hand, pointing the tip of the blade at the three Sea Demons.

"Godslaying!"

Gu Yuexi softly called out the first word. Her white dress fluttered without wind, and the Sword Intent around her began to climb steadily.

"Return!"

As the second word fell, thunder began to roar in midair. Dark clouds gathered out of nowhere, and lightning danced and flickered within the cloud layers.

"To!"

When the third word was spoken, a blinding light erupted from the blade, piercing through heaven and earth, shining so brightly that no one could keep their eyes open.

"Ruins!"

As the fourth word sounded, the world instantly changed colors. Fierce winds howled all around, and the earth churned violently.

"Sword!"

With the final word falling, the Godslaying Ruins Sword let out a resonant hum that echoed across the entire battlefield.

An unimaginably massive Sword Qi tore through the air. Carrying apocalyptic might, it shot straight toward the three shark Sea Demons. The Godslaying Ruins Sword was not only a powerful Divine Artifact, but it also came with a Top Level Sword Skill. Under the three-fold amplification of the Empress Battle Armor, the power of this all-out strike was pushed to its absolute limit.

Feeling the terrifying Sword Qi descending upon their heads, the Flying Shark Sea Demon Brothers involuntarily trembled. Even their will to resist had mostly faded.

"She’s definitely not at the Divinity Transformation Realm!

"Absolutely not!

"How could a Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator possibly unleash such a powerful Sword Qi?!

"Impossible!!!

"Absolutely impossible!!!"

This time, even the Flying Shark eldest brother began to roar in terror. But mere roaring couldn’t stop the descending Sword Qi. The Flying Shark Sea Demon Brothers hurriedly suppressed their fear. Not daring to hesitate in the slightest, nor daring to hold anything back, they unleashed every Defense ability they could use.

Water Curtains, Barriers, Scale Hardening, Soul Shields, Bloodline Shields...

Rays of light in various colors lit up around the Flying Shark Sea Demon Brothers. Layer upon layer stacked together, wrapping them up tightly like cocoons. They tried to rely on these endless layers of Defense to forcefully block Gu Yuexi’s Sword Qi, hoping to hold on until the attack exhausted its energy.

Unfortunately, they were wrong again. Gu Yuexi had always excelled at offense. It was her defense that was comparatively slightly weaker. If the Flying Shark Sea Demon Brothers had disregarded life and death to fight her tooth and nail, they might have been able to drag the battle out for a while longer. They might have even had a tiny chance to injure her.

However, during the earlier clash of Law, Gu Yuexi had crushed them with her Realm, completely terrifying them out of their wits. This led to their preconceived notion that her strength was unfathomably deep. They didn’t dare to get close and risk their lives, only daring to cower in defense. Because of this, they missed their only chance.

SLICE...

The Sword Qi fell, easily tearing through the outermost Water Curtain Barrier like a hot knife through butter. Next was the Destruction Barrier... One layer, two layers, three layers... Under this Sword Qi, over a dozen Defense Barriers shattered as rapidly as flimsy paper, failing to delay it for even half a second. Ultimately, the Sword Qi landed on the Flying Shark Sea Demon Brothers without any hindrance.

With a soft SQUELCH, the massive bodies of the Flying Shark Sea Demon Brothers, still bearing expressions of sheer terror and disbelief, were sliced cleanly in half down the middle. Their dark green blood splattered across the city wall, emitting a faint SIZZLING sound.

The Flying Shark Sea Demon Brothers didn’t even have time to let their Divine Souls escape before they were instantly pulverized by the Sword Qi. Their bodies and souls were entirely obliterated!!!

Without the control of the Flying Shark Sea Demon Brothers, the ocean waves quickly vanished. All that remained were three massive corpses crashing heavily onto the city wall.

Gu Yuexi stood still and sheathed her sword, not sparing the corpses a single glance. It was as if slaying three Sea Demons at the Integration Realm Peak was nothing more than a trivial matter. She looked down at the Sea Demon Army below, her eyes completely devoid of any fluctuation.

Meanwhile, the Sea Demon Commander in the distance stared at the corpses of the Flying Shark Brothers.

The entire demon... froze completely in place!!!
