25: Arrived, the targeted prey!
Subsequently, the thunder ink, under Ling Meng's precise autopilot, slowly descended from high above the Eastern Defense Line.
Its massive fuselage was particularly eye-catching under the clear blue sky.
Upon learning of Xu Yi's arrival, Wang Xian immediately led a group of high-ranking generals from within the defense line to respectfully wait at the aircraft's hatch.
Their eyes were filled with anticipation and reverence.
As the hatch slowly opened, Xu Yi's figure stepped out like a sharp wind.
"Welcome, Defense Envoy!" Wang Xian's voice was respectful and loud, and the other generals beside him echoed, their voices full of awe.
Xu Yi smiled faintly and waved his hand, signaling them not to be constrained.
His majestic gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Wang Xian.
Seeing this, Wang Xian walked up to Xu Yi with a joyful expression and reported again, "Sir, I have followed your instructions and focused on inspecting the ground, and all troops are on high alert, ready for battle!"
Xu Yi nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
Judging by the current tense atmosphere of the entire Eastern Defense Line, Wang Xian had strictly carried out his orders and had not shown the slightest slackness due to the seemingly outrageous nature of the command.
Subsequently, Xu Yi went straight to the sturdy city wall within the defense line.
Standing high up, he gazed into the distance, greatly restraining his aura to prevent the two Beast Emperors, who were digging underground, from detecting his sudden appearance when they reached the vicinity.
At the same time, he released a powerful sense of perception, spreading it wildly in all directions from himself as the center, firmly enveloping everything around him.
As long as there was the slightest abnormal movement on the ground, he would immediately sense it and react!
Time passed minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by.
The area in front of the defense line was still peaceful.
The intelligence department, in a state of tension, had not reported any abnormalities or fierce beasts appearing in the vicinity.
Wang Xian stood beside Xu Yi, feeling a little puzzled, and cautiously asked, "Sir, currently... everything seems normal?"
Xu Yi heard the meaning in Wang Xian's words and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, his eyes flickering with profound light as he said, "Don't rush, have patience."
"Sometimes the most dangerous moments are often hidden beneath the calm..."
The information provided by the system could never be wrong; the appearance of those two Beast Emperors was only a matter of time.
This current situation only indicated that the speed at which those two Beast Emperors were digging was much slower than he had imagined.
"Yes, Sir."
Although Wang Xian had doubts, he deeply trusted Xu Yi's judgment.
He tightened his grip on his weapon, preparing to continue waiting.
Just as Wang Xian's words fell, Xu Yi's brows furrowed, as if he had sensed something.
He quickly concentrated his powerful sense of perception, which firmly covered the surroundings, and extended it towards the distant location where he had detected an anomaly!
After a more careful sensing, a smile appeared at the corner of Xu Yi's mouth, and he murmured in his heart, "This hole is quite deep; if it weren't for the system, you really would have succeeded."
Then, Xu Yi turned sideways and said to Wang Xian, who was completely unaware, "They've arrived, right beneath that location; they're hiding quite deeply.
The opponent has two Beast Emperors, prepare for battle."
As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the current location of the fierce beasts.
"Ah? Two, two Beast Emperors?!"
Wang Xian was immediately startled!
Looking at Xu Yi's serious expression, he didn't think Xu Yi was joking, but immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
He quickly ordered the intelligence department to strictly investigate the location Xu Yi pointed to!
Upon receiving the order, the intelligence department did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
They immediately activated the most advanced detection equipment and conducted a comprehensive scan of the designated area!
Soon after, they received shocking news.
Indeed, two abnormally powerful energy fluctuations were detected deep underground!
Their level was so high that they could almost certainly be confirmed as Beast Emperor-level!
As for their specific strength, Ling Meng needed to analyze it further...
After receiving the exact information from the intelligence department, Wang Xian immediately notified all Martial Emperor of this urgent situation, ordering them to be ready to launch an attack at any time.
Immediately afterward, his eyes filled with admiration for Xu Yi, and he sincerely praised, "Sir, you, you are truly a brilliant strategist, predicting things like a god!"
To be able to strategize from within Tianchi City and so accurately predict that fierce beasts would launch a sneak attack on their Eastern Defense Line from underground was simply too divine!
After speaking, a wave of lingering fear suddenly surged in Wang Xian's heart.
If it weren't for Xu Yi's timely reminder, the Eastern Defense Line might have been reduced to ashes by the sudden appearance of these two Beast Emperors!
That was an existence that could instantly kill a mere Martial Emperor like him with a single blow...
Thinking of this, Wang Xian couldn't help but look at Xu Yi again, his eyes filled with both awe and anticipation as he said, "Sir, the opponent has two Beast Emperors.
Do we need to request support from other council members? Or is support already on its way, and we just need to hold out a little longer?"
Although Xu Yi's strength was also not weak and he had already broken through to Martial Emperor, two against one... should still be very troublesome?
Xu Yi heard this.
His face still maintained that calm and confident expression, as if everything was within his grasp.
"Mere two Beast Emperors are nothing to fuss about, and there's no need to ask other council members for help."
"Watch how I will cut them down with my axe."
With that, Xu Yi's mind moved.
The exquisite watch on his arm instantly transformed into a set of dark black Raging Thunder God Armor, tightly encasing his entire body!
Under the sunlight, the divine armor emitted dazzling black light, like an invincible God of War.
As the opponents continuously approached, Xu Yi had already detected the levels of these two Beast Emperors through his powerful sense of perception.
One Beast Emperor (mid-stage), one Beast Emperor (late-stage)!
In front of him, who had already mastered many powerful SSS-level martial arts and had fused with the Lei Yuan Divine Body to gain several times the strength amplification, they were nothing more than two slightly larger ants.
As long as a Beast God-level fierce beast did not appear, there was no need to panic at all.
And if a Beast God had also participated in this plan to sneak attack the Eastern Defense Line, the system would have reminded him in the previous information...
When he sensed that the two Beast Emperors had entered the firing range of the Eastern Defense Line's artillery, an SSS-level Azure Sky Thunder Prison Axe, emitting a chilling light, suddenly appeared in Xu Yi's hand!
A smile containing killing intent appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He turned to Wang Xian, who was on high alert, and said, "Wait for me to go and pull out these two rats hiding underground."
Although Wang Xian was still somewhat anxious, seeing Xu Yi's confident demeanor, he couldn't help but gain a bit more confidence.
"Then, Sir, please be careful..."
He nodded worriedly, watching Xu Yi, holding the heavy axe, dash like a lightning bolt towards the distant position of the defense line.
At this moment, the two Beast Emperors, who were slowly approaching the Eastern Defense Line underground, were completely unaware that they had been discovered.
They were confidently preparing to deliver a fatal blow to humanity, never imagining that they had already become Xu Yi's prey!
