Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 147 Battle of the Underwater City

The few soldiers were taken care of by Lan Tianyi's sword.

Ahead lies the demon race's main camp, which appears to have been established for some time and is fully equipped with living conditions, with troops numbering over a thousand men per rank.

Lan Tian's commotion had completely alerted the garrison here. The barracks were in turmoil, and the soldiers, in neat rows and orderly formations, all pointed directly at Lan Tian and his companions. The army was pressing forward and attacking the three of them, and a bloody battle was about to unfold.

A ninth-tier peak expert from the Demon Clan appeared at the front of the group. It seemed that this person was the leader here. His rank was not weak. He was among the top experts in the Endless Sea. However, in front of Lan Tian and Hai Liang, he was just a piece of trash. There was no comparison. They could kill him with a flick of their wrist. The difference in rank was too mysterious. Lan Tian and the others did not take this place seriously.

"Who goes there, daring to disregard my demon race and kill my clansmen? We will never forgive you!" the demon leader threatened Lan Tian.

"Nonsense! How dare you be so shameless! I'll teach you a lesson!" Hai Liang was the first to step forward and angrily rebuked them. A white light flashed, and a wall of water as solid as a rock swept across.

With cultivation at the Venerable Realm, this incredibly powerful attack was unstoppable. None of the opponents could withstand it; they were all swept away and fled, some rolling dozens of meters away, suffering serious injuries.

Next, the Azure Sky's Divine Sword of Light defeated the enemy in one move—sweeping through the enemy ranks. As the sword passed, only those above the eighth rank were spared from direct death; the other low-ranking demon soldiers all perished instantly! The camp was in complete disarray, with heavy casualties, and the survivors were too frightened to speak.

The demon leader from before was also heavily injured, staring intently at Lan Tian and his companions. It seemed they had encountered a formidable enemy and their lives were in danger. Fear gripped them, and they scrambled to escape.

Would the blue sky let them escape? Impossible. They must be wiped out completely, leaving no regrets, and not giving them a chance to escape. To avoid trouble and attracting even more demons later.

Hai Liang launched a strong attack first. She has now fully mastered two elemental attack skills: one water-based and one extended ice-based skill. Reaching the Venerable Realm allows one to comprehend two elemental attack skills, both extensions of the original elemental skill. This is a perk of reaching the Venerable Realm; everyone can awaken two elemental skills.

Now, Hai Liang is using an ice-attribute skill attack, Ice Blade. The eyes are filled with glittering ice blades, which are shooting straight towards the demons at high speed. The power is overwhelming and indestructible. The remaining demons have been completely crushed and want to escape.

The ice blades came swiftly, piercing right through the demon soldiers in front of them. Blood splattered everywhere as the ice blades pierced through their bodies, leaving large holes. They howled incessantly, and after a few moments of swaying, they collapsed to the ground, dead.

The thousands of demon soldiers were dealt with in an instant by Hai Liang and her two companions, and everything returned to normal. The area outside the underwater city was a blood-red mess, and the stench of blood permeated the city gates. This battle made Cao Yuqing realize what a true high-level battle was like; a problem was solved in just a few moves, demonstrating just how important strength was.

Just as Lan Tian and the others were about to go forward to check if there were any survivors, the demon leader suddenly sprang out from the pile of corpses, covered in wounds, and fled straight away.

How could we let him escape? It would be a loss of face for Lan Tian. We absolutely cannot let such a formidable enemy escape.

Lan Tian swiftly gathered lightning power, instantly creating a lightning ball. Crackling and popping, lightning energy surged wildly within the ball. This lightning ball possessed astonishing power, enough to instantly kill a peak ninth-tier expert. It was formed from the combined energy attribute skills of Lan Tian's Venerable Realm technique, sufficient to annihilate this demon leader. With a whoosh, the lightning ball followed the demon leader, striking him less than a hundred meters away. It exploded, obliterating him completely. The entire underwater city trembled slightly. At this moment, the demon leader was utterly destroyed, his armor and body completely obliterated.

Still not entirely reassured, the three carefully examined all the demon corpses to confirm they were all dead before Lan Tian finally felt relieved. He then used his Fire Phoenix attribute skill to burn them all away completely, leaving no trace.

The energy explosion had alerted the underwater city, and a guard came out to observe the commotion, just in time to encounter Hai Liang. He knew she was the princess of the underwater city, and upon seeing her return, he immediately came to pay his respects.

Hai Liang couldn't wait to see her family, so she rushed back to the city after only a few words.

Lan Tian, ​​however, was not in a hurry. He learned about the current situation of the underwater city from the guards and roughly understood what had happened here. Cao Yuqing had already returned to the city with Hai Liang, and only Lan Tian was still behind, returning with the guards.

Lan Tian now understood that the Demon Race had returned to the Endless Sea almost two years ago. Using their control over teleportation technology, they quickly gained complete control of the Endless Sea. They also brought many high-level experts, so many places were wiped out without any chance of resistance. The Demon Race treated the human race with ruthless extermination; they destroyed Endless Island, and the humans fled to other races' towns for refuge. It was unknown how many were left. It was truly a tragic situation.

According to Lan Tian's inquiries, only the Underwater City, Sky City, and Morossis have not yet been conquered by the demons due to their strong defensive capabilities. However, they are only temporarily safe because of the demons' long-term harassment and attacks.

Because the underwater city is protected by ancient artifacts, the demons have been unable to conquer it. They left a force to harass the underwater city for a long time and have not been in contact with the outside world for a long time. They don't know what the situation is like in other places! The outside world is changing too fast. The underwater city can only protect itself. This time, the demons have returned and are extremely arrogant and domineering. They kill all races without mercy and leave no survivors.

Lan Tian returned to the underwater city and to the shop that the Lan family used to run. It was still operating normally, with a constant stream of people coming and going. Lan Tian entered the shop and saw many new faces. None of them recognized him. After all, Lan Tian had changed quite a bit, and even if they knew him, they wouldn't recognize him immediately.

Just then, an old man walked in from outside. Lan Tian immediately recognized him as a steward of the Lan family, someone who had served him in Xiaoyao City before. Their eyes met, and the old man also recognized his young master—Lan Tian, ​​the young master of the Lan family! Although he had changed a lot, the sense of familiarity remained the same, so the old steward recognized Lan Tian at a glance.

"Young Master, Young Master, is that you back?!"

The old man's face lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but shed tears. The young master of the Lan family is back! Things will definitely get better from now on!

"Butler Xiao, it's me! I'm so sorry for all the trouble you've suffered!" Lan Tian was also very excited. Instantly, all the shop assistants gathered around, looking at Lan Tian with expectant eyes and calling out loudly.

"Young Master! Young Master! Young Master!"
