Chapter 407: Section 194: Escape for Life
Seeing a Legend and three from the Holy Domain ascend into the sky, Fishman Divine Son and his followers were greatly shocked.
“Damn.”
“We’ve been discovered!”
“Run!”
“Wait.” The Fishman Divine Son waved his hand backward, then said to the Fire City Lord, “City Lord, we have no intention of being your enemy…”
The Fishman Divine Son tried to communicate, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by a cold snort from the Fire City Lord, “The moment you set foot on Fire Island, you became my mortal enemies!”
“But I am willing to give you one chance… leave now!”
“Otherwise, Fire Island shall be your grave.”
The Fire City Lord didn’t plan to strike directly, as this was her homeland, the last bastion of the giants of the Red Earth Plateau.
The Fishman Divine Son, only at the Silver Level, and his companions were even less significant lackeys.
The Fire City Lord was more wary of the Meilan deity backing them.
Who knew how much power the true form of the Meilan deity possessed?
The Fishman Divine Son nodded, “We will immediately leave Fire Island and head to the Abyss.”
“No way!” the Fire City Lord roared furiously, “I’m in charge of guarding the entrance to the Abyss, how could I allow you to easily enter?”
“Forget about it.”
“There is no room for negotiation.”
“Then there’s nothing we can do.” The Fishman Divine Son smirked sinisterly, “We’re leaving.”
The negotiation collapsed, but the Fishman Divine Son and his group had other means.
The next moment, a dazzling radiance shone beneath their feet. Amidst the light, a large Array emerged.
The Array quickly activated, swiftly teleporting the Fishman Divine Son and the others away.
“Wait!” shouted the Clan Leader of the Hundred Needle Family, attempting to stop them, but it was too late.
In fact, even the Fire City Lord could only deploy a mental assault and hadn’t used any Spells.
The Array floating in the air quickly dispersed, while the Fire City Lord instantly ascended high into the sky, her gaze sweeping across Fire Island.
Along with her were Yi Gui and three others from the Holy Domain.
Such a Teleportation Array certainly had another endpoint.
Indeed, the next moment, the other end of the Teleportation Array materialized.
There were five or six Arrays concurrently radiating light and bursting with energy, evenly distributed across Fire Island.
Only one of them was a real Teleportation Array, the rest were merely decoys.
The Fire City Lord slightly furrowed her brow, “Strike with all your might, find them, and kill them on the spot!”
Before her words fell, she was the first to fly out, heading toward the most distant radiance.
Yi Gui and the others immediately responded, flying off.
“Lord, what should we do?” asked Biwa from an alleyway.
Taking a deep breath, his face filled with urgency, the Clan Leader of the Hundred Needle Family replied, “We’ll also pursue, coordinating with the Fire City Lord and others to quickly discern the real from the fake.”
The situation had been exposed, and the Hundred Needle Family’s contact with a foreign deity was severely disadvantageous to them.
Moreover, since the Clan Leader of the Hundred Needle Family must rescue Zhenjin, he was fully committed to striving for redemption!
The Fishman Divine Son and the others were panting heavily, the sensation of using the Array for teleportation was uncomfortable, requiring time to adapt.
The Fishman Divine Son, having the best physical condition and also very resilient mentally, was the first to recover.
His vision cleared, his hearing, sense of smell, and other senses also returned to normal, then he saw the light of the Teleportation Array rapidly fading.
“So soon?!” The Divine Son could not help but turn pale.
The whole process from their teleportation to the Fishman Divine Son’s adaptation had only taken 4 to 5 seconds, and one of the disguise Arrays had already been broken.
This must have been the doing of the Fire City Lord herself; the methods of a Legendary Mage were indeed vast.
“Retreat quickly!” The Fishman Divine Son quickly grabbed Cang Xu and Zi Di, one with each hand, and took the lead in fleeing.
Amid his exclamations, Lan Zao, Sanda, and others quickly followed.
“I see you now!” Sha Ji detected the noise and let out a cold chuckle.
He immediately extended his palm, aiming directly at the Fishman Divine Son and the others.
The next moment, the combat skill was released.
The ground where Fishman Divine Son and the others were fleeing suddenly shot up countless sharp Earth Spikes. Each spike was at least two meters long, with tips as sharp as spearheads.
Fishman Divine Son and his companions couldn’t escape in time and were pierced by the spikes, becoming corpses hanging on the spikes, with blood flowing everywhere.
“It’s over,” Sha Ji said with a slight smile, cautiously flying over.
However, when he arrived at the scene, his expression changed abruptly as the bodies of Fishman Divine Son and the others turned into foam and disappeared before his eyes.
“Fake!”
Sha Ji felt a sinking feeling in his heart and once again flew high into the sky.
Then, he saw that not only at his location but also elsewhere, Fishman Divine Son and the others were appearing.
Some were blasted into carbon powder, while others screamed in agony as they were burned by the puppet Tuck.
But afterward, all of them invariably turned into foam and dispersed.
“What’s going on, all fake?!” everyone wondered.
At that moment, the Fire City Lord’s gaze sharpened as she looked toward the sea floor. She noticed that deep in the waters, an alchemy ship was making full efforts to dive and escape from Fire Island.
“It’s that sea monster-shaped submarine demon energy ship.”
“Is the other end of the teleportation array set up on the ship?”
“Are they trying to escape through this?”
Various guesses surfaced in her mind.
“Enemy spotted, follow me!” The Fire City Lord beckoned and flew out of Fire Island first, like a red meteor, extremely fast.
Masonry and others quickly followed her.
At another dock, the Treasure was staying put.
“Tan Mo, what should we do?” the Dun Dao City Lord hesitated, “Should we go after them?”
Tan Mo’s expression struggled intensely.
The fluctuations and brilliance of the array caused a great commotion.
Soon after, the Fire City Lord, Masonry, and others took action openly, stunning everyone.
The Treasure had been on high alert. The moment the transmission fluctuation of the array appeared, Tan Mo and his people reacted.
But they hesitated and didn’t make a move.
Because they saw Fishman Divine Son and the others, confirming that the Justice Pirate Group was indeed on the island.
Tan Mo, being only Golden Level, didn’t want to confront Mei Lan’s divine entity. Especially at this time, the great general Yi Gui had yet to appear! He had no support whatsoever.
He could only delay, but then he noticed the Fire City Lord and others flying out of the island, clearly chasing the enemy.
“If the higher-ups want me to fight to the death and I still shrink back, I’ll definitely end up in a military court!”
“But rushing in now, isn’t that suicidal?”
“With just a finger, no, a glance from Mei Lan, she could kill me!”
Tan Mo clenched his teeth, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
Just then, a loud boom.
The entire Fire City shook a bit, and the volcano’s crater erupted dense black smoke.
Subsequently, an immensely mighty life breath was exposed.
Divine Level!
A genuine Divine Level!
“It’s Mei Lan!” Sha Ji’s pupils shrank sharply, unable to help but exclaim.
The Fire City Lord and others’ flying actions abruptly stopped.
“We’ve been tricked, Fishman Divine Son deliberately came to attract our attention,” remarked puppet Tuck with a cold tone.
“Let’s go back!” Seeing the Golden Level demon energy ship about to be caught up, the Fire City Lord didn’t hesitate and turned back immediately.
Masonry hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed the Fire City Lord.
Puppet Tuck and Sha Ji took a deep look at the Deep Sea Monster Fish and also flew back to Fire Island.
“Quick, we’re deploying. The target is that underwater demon energy ship!” Seeing this scene, Tan Mo was so thrilled he almost jumped for joy.
Apart from Mei Lan, the cultivation of Fishman Divine Son and the others was merely at Silver Level.
Tan Mo instantly became bold.
