Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 517 The War Begins

In the wilderness, Yi Shuihan was carrying a knife as he made his way forward.

“Old man Yi, I have a very uneasy feeling!” Zhuge Tianqing said, “I have a feeling that something big is going to happen. This Louis Vigus definitely knows that there is a lump of iron coming here!”

“I know!” Yi Shuihan said.

“But the problem is!” Zhuge Tianqing said, “The date and location of this grand competition were confirmed a long time ago. If this was Louis Vigus’s plan, how did he manage to choose this exact day to descend? And the scale seems too large… How could so many Paradise Island descend!”

"Judging from previous news, Chu Yu and Chen Chong were originally outsiders in the Battle of Canghai," Bai Xin said. "They are the masters behind Brahma, and perhaps they have a way to contact the Iron Lump."

“Or rather… we’ve grasped the signal and method to summon the iron lump,” Bai Xin said thoughtfully.

After saying that, he gave a wry smile and said, "Of course, we'll probably only know the specifics after we take down Louis Vigus!"

At this point, she paused for a moment and said, "But judging from this commotion, he will most likely attack us this time too!"

“Yi Shuihan is still alive, he doesn’t have the courage!” Zhuge Tianqing said.

"What if Yi Shuihan dies in this battle?" Bai Xin said.

"It could kill Yi Shuihan!" Zhuge Tianqing sneered, then his pupils suddenly contracted as he turned to Bai Xin and asked, "You mean, blue has descended!"

Bai Xin nodded and said, "If Louis Vigus wants to resolve everything on Paradise Island and gain control of the entire World Net, he will definitely eliminate Yi Shuihan. He probably knows very well that if he really kills Ye Qing, you will not let him off so easily. From the moment he chose to eliminate Ye Qing, he probably already planned to end everything here!"

“However, I still don’t know how he managed to contact the iron lump so accurately,” Bai Xin said.

Upon hearing Bai Xin's analysis, Zhuge Tianqing couldn't help but quicken his pace, saying, "Kid, you absolutely mustn't die in there!"

……

On the other side, at the foot of the mountain, Ye Qing's expression turned extremely grim when he saw the four figures above!

He looked around, and all the people around him, whether out of fear or excitement, were trembling slightly.

But even though they were trembling, not one of them retreated; everyone stood firmly in place!

Ye Qing took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, the current situation is beyond our ability to resist. One blue body and three yellow bodies. We have to evacuate here and return to Moore Town."

"Go!" Ye Qing roared.

Those people gritted their teeth, nodded, and quickly retreated to the rear!

"We're retreating too!" Ye Qing roared. "Maintain formation! Qi Ping'an, we'll cover the rear!"

At this moment, no one cared about the consumption of blue crystals. With their exoskeleton devices activated, they maintained their formation and quickly retreated to the rear!

As he retreated, he turned around and looked back. The four iron lumps on the mountaintop were just standing there watching, seemingly with no intention of making a move.

This gave him a slight sense of relief.

What bothered him was that their retreat speed was on a completely different level.

Even the lowest-grade red iron lump, when unleashed at full power, is far faster than them.

"There are some ahead too!" Just then, Yan Ruoyu let out a low roar.

Ye Qing looked up and, sure enough, in the direction they were fleeing, there were also more than a dozen red iron lumps rushing towards them.

"Damn it!" Qi Ping'an cursed, "Just how many have descended?!"

"I know, you old ghost!" Ye Qing cursed, then roared, "Everyone, stop where you are and form a formation... you!"

He looked at the three squads that had retreated with them and said, "Qi Ping'an, the two of us will stay behind to hold off the ones behind us. Qian Yu, you break through. Once you're out of there, don't linger. Get out of here immediately and go to Moore Town to call for reinforcements!"

"Okay!" Lin Qianyu nodded.

Under these circumstances, she had no time to hesitate.

Su Liuyun followed her and changed direction.

Ye Qing and Qi Ping'an suddenly turned around!

Ye Qing drew the Snowfall Blade from his hand. Looking at the dozen or so iron lumps charging from behind, he twisted his neck!

"Come on!" Qi Ping'an roared, and instead of retreating, they advanced, quickly charging towards the dozen or so animals behind them!

An overwhelming aura erupted from both of them instantly.

Ye Qing charged straight at the iron lump at the very front!

"Roar!"

The metal lump roared, its mouth opened, and a beam of light began to condense within it.

"Ghost Step!" Ye Qing's figure was like a ghost.

"call out!"

The beam of light shot straight at Ye Qing, who dodged it instantly. Then, he leaped up, channeling his true energy into his weapon, and swung his blade, shouting, "Die!"

"clang!"

His strike landed squarely on the head of the iron behemoth, a leopard-shaped steel beast. The terrifying true energy erupted, sending the iron behemoth flying with a single blow!

"boom!"

He and several other iron lumps behind him fell to the ground together.

If it were an ordinary person, or even an ordinary super expert, after taking Ye Qing's knife, they would be crippled even if they didn't die!

However, what made Ye Qing's scalp tingle was that after these iron lumps hit the ground, they quickly began to churn!

Qi Ping'an also cleaved one end open with a single slash. Looking at the iron lump that had fallen to the ground and then gotten back up, Qi Ping'an cursed and said, "Damn it, these things really can't be killed by slashing! You can only kill them by slashing their weak points!"

“These iron lumps of beasts, their weak points are usually in the abdomen or neck, in the protruding places…” Ye Qing had just finished speaking when Qi Ping’an said, “I’ve fought these things many times. Be careful, those four on top seem to have some kind of intelligence.”

"Of course!" Ye Qing said, "Chu Yu and Chen Chong were most likely piloting this thing. However, this thing probably has some kind of code that will self-destruct once its weakness is attacked!"
