26: The battle begins, shocking the two beast emperors!

Xu Yi's speed was as fast as lightning.

Almost as soon as everyone's eyes blurred,

he had already traversed the distance between the defense line and the two Beast Emperors in the distance.

His figure streaked across the sky like a black bolt of lightning.

He instantly reached his destination!

At this moment,

the powerful pressure of a Martial Emperor on Xu Yi's body was no longer held back.

It surged out like a storm, causing the surrounding air to suddenly solidify!

"Thunder Axe Splits the Sky!"

Accompanied by a low roar,

the power within Xu Yi's body was like a ignited volcano, surging and converging onto the Azure Sky Thunder Prison Axe he tightly gripped.

The axe head was instantly enveloped by dazzling lightning.

Lightning intertwined, and light blazed!

It seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth!

With a deafening roar,

Xu Yi swung the Azure Sky Thunder Prison Axe, fiercely striking the ground.

In an instant,

lightning flashed!

forming a heaven-shaking pillar of thunder.

Accompanied by a loud "Boom!", a massive surge of lightning energy directly tore through the surrounding space!

It split the earth into a chasm-like crack!

Dust flew, and rocks scattered!

"What's this?!"

The two Beast Emperors, who were lurking underground, preparing to launch a sneak attack on the Eastern Defense Line,

were greatly alarmed when they sensed the Martial Emperor's pressure released by Xu Yi.

Before they could react, they were directly shaken out from underground by this powerful force!

And the numerous beast tides following closely behind them

suffered a devastating catastrophe!

Countless fierce beasts were instantly buried beneath the collapsing earth, their wails and despair intertwining.

But they were also quickly buried by the dust, returning to silence........

"Damn it! How could this Human Martial Emperor appear here? Didn't the intelligence say he was cultivating in Tianchi City? How did he detect us?!"

The Ze Long Rat Emperor, a Mid-Stage Beast Emperor responsible for digging and possessing a terrifyingly ferocious appearance,

climbed out from underground in a disheveled state.

Looking at Xu Yi, who held a giant axe and was surrounded by terrifying lightning, he said,

His hoarse voice was filled with shock and anger.

The information provided by the Beast God Alliance was completely wrong!

And because they were deep underground, even though they were suddenly hit by Xu Yi's full-power strike and forcibly shaken out,

they didn't suffer any injuries.

But the innocent beast tides behind them became "scapegoats"!

All of them were buried alive underground........

Standing shoulder to shoulder with the Ze Long Rat Emperor was the Ice Peak Bear Emperor, a massive, snow-white beast emanating a chilling aura.

This Late-Stage Beast Emperor,

its eyes flickering with crimson ferocity, shook off the dirt from its body and growled,

"So unlucky... We were actually discovered!"

It had already sensed the aura of a Martial Emperor from Xu Yi.

Although it was only Mid-Stage, the Ice Peak Bear Emperor did not let its guard down because of this.

Instead, it became even more vigilant.

It calculated all possible outcomes in its mind!

"A Mid-Stage Martial Emperor dares to come here to die? Or is this a trap, and there are ambushes around?"

The Ice Peak Bear Emperor's perception was fully open.

Like an invisible net, it rapidly spread in all directions, attempting to capture any trace of a Human Martial Emperor's aura.

But after a few seconds,

besides Xu Yi, it did not detect the presence of any other strong individuals in the vicinity........

After surveying the surrounding situation,

a defiant smile gradually appeared on the Ice Peak Bear Emperor's face, and it said in a low, hoarse voice,

"So what if you found us? You dare to come here alone to die."

Even if they were exposed now,

under the combined efforts of their two Great Beast Emperors, especially since it was one minor realm higher than this Human Martial Emperor,

the scales of victory undoubtedly tilted towards their side!

As for the cannons and weapons in the human defense line behind them,

for beasts of their level,

they were merely toys that could cause them some minor trouble, posing no real threat at all!

Afterward,

the Ze Long Rat Emperor and the Ice Peak Bear Emperor had a tacit understanding.

They quickly formed a pincer attack, tightly surrounding Xu Yi, who was suspended in the sky, his figure as tiny as a small ant.

Xu Yi, clad in black battle armor and wielding a giant axe,

was like a war god descended.

Facing the encirclement of the two Beast Emperors, he showed no fear, and a hint of disdain flickered in his eyes.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, the two Beast Emperors

simultaneously released their terrifying pressure, their eyes glinting with crimson, bloodthirsty light.

They prepared to eliminate this newly promoted and astonishingly fast-advancing Martial Emperor of the Great Xia Country.

To eradicate a potential huge threat for the Beast God Alliance!

"Hehehe, what this Emperor likes most is to stifle human geniuses......."

The Ice Peak Bear Emperor's hoarse voice was filled with cruelty and triumph.

Two against one, as long as no other Human Martial Emperors came to interfere, it had a very high chance of slaying Xu Yi here!

Xu Yi's eyes grew colder upon hearing this, and a chilling smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he said coldly,

"Have you finished all your last words?"

Before he finished speaking,

a Martial Emperor's pressure, several times more terrifying than before, suddenly erupted from his body!

Black lightning intertwined around him, as if a thunder god had descended!

In an instant,

"Rumble......!"

The surrounding sky was covered in dark clouds, thunder rumbled, and strange black lightning, like a heavenly punishment,

continuously poured down towards the ground!

"What?!"

The Ze Long Rat Emperor and the Ice Peak Bear Emperor witnessed this scene.

Their hearts were suddenly shocked, and their huge beast pupils were filled with awe!

They realized that the strength of this Human Mid-Stage Martial Emperor

far exceeded their expectations!

"Be careful, this Human Martial Emperor's strength seems a bit off!"

The Ice Peak Bear Emperor said in a deep voice.

His voice carried a hint of solemnity!

"No wonder he dared to come alone to stop the two of us........"

The Ze Long Rat Emperor also responded with unease.

The two communicated rapidly using a language only understood by fierce beasts, trying to find a countermeasure.

But Xu Yi did not give them much time.

He let out another low shout.

"Thunder Moves the Nine Heavens!"

As the words fell,

the black lightning falling from the sky became even denser, like a net cast from heaven to earth.

Two bolts of lightning containing destructive energy, like giant dragons, directly locked onto the trembling Ze Long Rat Emperor and Ice Peak Bear Emperor!

They struck them with lightning speed!

"Not good! Defend quickly!"

Feeling the terrifying lightning energy fluctuations contained in Xu Yi's strike, the Ze Long Rat Emperor trembled violently.

A strong sense of crisis surged in its heart.

The attack speed of this lightning was extremely fast, making it impossible to dodge.

It could only roar, unleashing all its power to control the surrounding ground and wrap itself in it.

At the same time, it condensed an energy shield.

It attempted to block this fatal blow.

"This is troublesome......"

The Ice Peak Bear Emperor next to it also did not dare to be careless.

Its entire body was covered in ice crystals, like an iceberg, putting on a thick layer of "armor" for itself.

It also chose to defend.

Although they had tried their best, they still appeared incredibly small in the face of Xu Yi's destructive lightning!

"Boom!!!"

As two black bolts of angry thunder descended from the sky, a deafening roar echoed through the surroundings.

It was ear-splitting!

The two Beast Emperors who had endured this blow

were now in a disheveled state!

The Ze Long Rat Emperor, whose abilities were relatively mediocre and only excelled at digging, perished directly.

Its corpse was charred black, emitting a foul smell of roasted meat!

And the Ice Peak Bear Emperor, though lucky enough to survive, had turned from its original snow-white color to pitch black.

Crimson blood continuously seeped from its wounds.

Its aura was chaotic, clearly indicating it had suffered heavy injuries!
