With the influence of the Machinists Guild, it was possible to hire eight to ten level-six martial artists to guard the Foka Tower.
After all, any powerful martial artist would be willing to build a good relationship with the Machinists Guild. Ordering and maintaining high-grade Heart Elemental Equipment could save a lot of money.
The premise was that they could hire so many level-six martial artists …
The number of level-five martial artists in this world was considerable. For example, the main army of the Foka Tower had more than twenty level-five martial artists.
However, it was extremely difficult to cross the hurdle from level-five to level-six. Talent, opportunities, temperament, and all sorts of other factors were indispensable.
If a talented martial arts genius had a smooth path of cultivation, he would have a high chance of stepping into the Five Realms.
However, the chance of reaching level-six was less than one percent of the chance of reaching level-five.
There were very few geniuses who could reach level-five in this world, much less the pinnacle of level-six martial artists.
Therefore, a Realm Six cultivator was a delicious steamed bun for all the major forces. The competition was too fierce, so how could there be so many Realm Six cultivators to hire?
Yaquid had a headache. If something happened to Lieutenant General Philon, the entire Foka Tower would be in an unimaginable state.
Zhuang Chen heaved a sigh of relief and quickly dialed a number. It was quickly connected. An old voice came from the other end of the communicator. "Why are you calling me so late at night? What trouble did you get into in the Foka Tower? "
Yuya and Yaquid's expressions turned solemn as they greeted the old man on the other end of the communicator. This old man was Zhuang Chen's teacher and also an unparalleled martial artist of the Great Eastern Continent — Heng Feng.
Heng Feng, the strongest martial artist of the Great Eastern Continent.
He was also the unparalleled martial artist with the highest chance of reaching level-eight in the past few hundred years …
"Teacher, what trouble could I get into … It's Lieutenant General Philon who is in trouble …"
Zhuang Chen turned on the video call and asked anxiously toward the manor in the distance, "Teacher, do you have any expert friends in the Foka Tower? There might be big trouble here … "
Heng Feng frowned slightly when he saw the situation in the manor through the video call. He was a little surprised, but he did not show it. "Even a level-seven martial artist has appeared. The oceanic beast army is really willing to go all out just to deal with General Philon."
Heng Feng paused for a moment, then continued, "The sea beasts created such a huge formation, it's impossible for Lieutenant General Philip to be unprepared. This general has guarded the Foka Tower for so many years. If a realm seven expert could easily kill him, Fei Long would have been a corpse long ago. "
"You guys wait and see. Don't get involved. A battle of this level isn't something you can get involved in."
…
Zhuang Chen and the other two nodded helplessly. They knew that their teacher was right. A battle between elites of the sixth level and above was not something they could interfere with.
Meanwhile.
In that manor, Lieutenant General Feilong's cold laughter suddenly came. "Two realm sevens and five realm sixes. You sea beasts are really willing to go all out just to deal with me! Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to return from this ambush? "
Rumble …
In the manor, a group of sea beast powerhouses had already charged in. The rank seven sea beast in the lead suddenly roared, "Fei Long, you are indeed here. Tonight, you are dead for sure! I'm going to smash your head into pieces and offer it to my compatriots … "
An ear-piercing voice reverberated in the night sky. This rank seven sea beast's body expanded rapidly, and its arms extended continuously until they became two tentacles.
Sticky tentacles shot out from its body, and a terrifying cold air spread in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the entire manor was sealed in ice, and a ten-meter-tall monster with an octopus head appeared. It waved its tentacles, and everything in its path was pierced through and turned into ice fragments.
This scene caused the expressions of the surrounding people to change. This was the terrifying aspect of high-level sea beasts.
Those geniuses among the sea beasts had all sorts of terrifying abilities. When their power reached a high level, these abilities would be amplified hundreds or even thousands of times.
Even if the living beings on the mainland cultivated ice-type cultivation techniques and achieved great success, they would not be able to unleash such power unless they had the help of a high-grade Heart Origin Equipment.
In an instant, frost spread continuously like a cold wave. It crept out of the manor and spread towards the surrounding streets.
"Fei Long, come out and die!"
This rank seven sea beast roared madly, releasing the cold power in its body without restraint.
Suddenly, its body trembled as if it felt something, and it slid to the side quickly.
A purple sword light shot out from its body, and a large amount of blue blood sprayed out from the rank seven octopus monster's body. It screamed and retreated, filled with anger and fear.
This sword came so suddenly and without warning. Even with the terrifying intuition of a rank seven sea beast, it did not realize it at all.
"Haha … rank seven sea beast, perfect as a sacrifice for this sword …"
A voice sounded in the manor, but it reverberated in all directions, and its specific location could not be determined.
At this moment, the surrounding scene suddenly changed. The cold air pervading the manor suddenly began to distort, and then hot air seeped out, and balls of flames spewed out.
In an instant, the manor was engulfed in a sea of fire that enveloped the sea beasts.
"Is this an illusion?! Whether it's an illusion or not, seal them all in ice! "
The rank seven octopus monster shouted, and waved its tentacles, releasing all the cold power, but it still could not extinguish the fire.
On the contrary, balls of flames surged and invaded the ice shield, roasting the slippery and sticky tentacles until they were charred black …
Instantly, shrill screams rang out. These sea beasts wailed in pain. For sea beasts, the power of flames had always been their nemesis.
And this kind of flame was strange and powerful. No matter what they did, they could not extinguish it. It was too strange.
"Break …"
At this time, a figure in the sea beast horde suddenly shouted. His voice pierced the night sky, causing transparent ripples, filled with a strange rhythm.
In an instant, the surrounding space cracked like glass, shattering and collapsing piece by piece. The surrounding scene returned to its original state.
The flames just now disappeared without a trace. The manor was still sealed in ice, but a quarter of the invading sea beasts were already lying on the ground as corpses.
The wounds on these corpses were caused by accident by the rank seven octopus monster, and there were also cuts. They were killed by their companions and hidden elites at the same time.
"What was that illusion just now?!"
The rank seven octopus monster roared angrily. At its level of power, even a mental energy attack could not be so strange that it would unknowingly fall for it.
He had never encountered an illusion like this before, and never thought he would encounter such a strange situation on land.
Bang bang bang …
Suddenly, flower petals bloomed in the air. It was as if a huge flower had bloomed in a frozen manor. It was especially eye-catching in the darkness.
In the next moment, countless flower petals flew. They were countless sawtooth blades shaped like petals. They covered the sky and the earth, and the sound was shocking.
Immediately, hundreds of tentacles popped out of the rank seven octopus monster's body. They furiously spewed out cold air, forming an ice shield like a tortoise shell.
Ding ding ding …
The sawtooth blades collided with the ice shield, but did not bounce off. Instead, they were stuck to the ice shield.
Immediately after, countless blades exploded, and clouds of green gas surged. No matter how strong the ice barrier was, it could not completely block out this gas. The sea beasts were slightly careless and inhaled a little bit of it.
In the next moment, shrill roars sounded. Dozens of sea beasts were trembling, their bodies contorted as they fell into extreme pain.
Bang bang bang …
The bodies of the dozens of sea beasts exploded one after another. Blood and flesh splattered all over their companions.
"What poisonous gas is this?!"
At this moment, the sea beasts, whose numbers had been reduced by half, were trembling in fear. The change in such a short time was beyond their expectations.
The human hidden in the manor had strange methods. They seemed to be restraining them at every step. They had not even seen Lieutenant General Feilong, and their side had already suffered heavy losses.
When did Lieutenant General Feilong's side have such a powerful person with so many terrifying methods …
On the other side.
Somewhere in the manor, Mossy Bone, Old Aidan, and Hai Wuya gathered together and looked at the sea beasts indifferently. They were like skilled hunters, quietly waiting for their prey to take the bait.
"Rank seven sea beasts … hehe … after so many years, the combat habits of these high-level sea beasts are still so easy to understand. No wonder the sea beast army can't attack the mainland …" Old Aidan sneered.
"If these beasts come forward a little more, I can try the strongest killing move of the [True Mask] …" Hai Wuya laughed strangely.
He had not used the strongest move of this weapon for many years. Of course, this was also because this move was especially effective against sea beasts.
Mossy Bone was very calm. He caressed the Redbud Sword in his hand. He was not too happy about the result of the battle. To him, this kind of result was expected.
In the past, when the Redbud Army fought against the sea beast army, the techniques they learned against powerful sea beasts were summarized and passed down.
To Mossy Bone, he had too many battles against rank seven sea beasts in his life. This did not affect him much.
If not for the fact that this body was not powerful enough, he would have activated this sword and killed all these sea beasts. He would not have allowed these fellows to be so arrogant.
"Don't be careless. Tonight's battle has just begun …" Mossy Bone said.
…
However, to the surrounding people, this series of unforeseen events left them dumbfounded.
In the distance, Zhuang Chen and the other two were shocked speechless when they saw this scene. They had thought that there would be a fierce battle, but this was not the case.
"Did you see that … Lieutenant General Feilong oversees the Foka Tower and stands tall. It's not that simple …"
Heng Feng could not help but heave a sigh of relief as he witnessed the battle. However, he was also quite shocked. "These experts are very powerful! They clearly don't have the strength of a rank seven, but they can pin down these powerful sea beasts. Is this Lieutenant General Feilong's hidden strength? "
On the other side.
Hayashi River watched the battle in the manor through the surveillance. He was actually quite surprised. He had thought that with the invasion of two rank seven sea beasts, the other side would fall into a bitter battle.
However, he did not expect that this group of sea beasts would fall into a disadvantageous position …
As expected of the Redbud Army, once the great enemy of the sea beasts. They were experts in dealing with sea beasts …
"Mister Bone and the others' strength is really shocking …" Fei Yu muttered to herself. She was also amazed by the battle.
"Tonight's battle has just begun. That awakened sea beast expert is almost here …"
Looking at a group of figures rapidly running towards the southern manor on one of the light screens, Hayashi River did not know why, but his forehead suddenly ached faintly.
"Strange … did I overlook something?"
Hayashi River frowned as he stared at the scaly sea beast expert on the light screen. He did not feel much threat from it.
However, his continuously swelling and hurting forehead reminded Lin Chuan that there seemed to be an unknown danger in a place he did not know about.
