"Boom boom boom!"
All the cannons on the warships fired in unison, unleashing their barrage upon this unit of Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish.
Many Level 1 and 2 Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish were torn to shreds, but even more Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish, like a crimson tide, crashed into the warship formation!
The Immortal Zither Frog's sound shields shattered instantly, and several of the outermost warships were overturned. The ships behind them collided, emitting harsh, grating metallic sounds!
Due to the close proximity, the cannons on the warships immediately lost their advantage.
"Bang!"
Jiang Chen, riding Little Nine, had just swiftly leaped from the tilting deck into the sea when, at that moment, the 10-meter-long Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish Commander and the Unicorn Iron Whale in front collided head-on, sending towering waves into the sky!
One was 30 meters, the other 10 meters, yet the outcome of their collision was merely the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish being sent flying dozens of meters away, with no damage at the point of impact.
This Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish Commander was incredibly fierce. With a few powerful whips of its strong tail in the water, it opened its terrifying fangs and lunged at the Unicorn Iron Whale again!
With this ferocious bite, it actually tore off a large chunk of the Unicorn Iron Whale's armor and flesh, leaving it bleeding profusely!
Jiang Chen forced himself not to focus on this powerful commander. He instantly activated Man-Beast Unity, and Little Nine transformed into a white cat phantom that enveloped Jiang Chen, while Chu Yun floated above Jiang Chen's head.
"Kill!!!" Seeing the red meteor in the sky drawing closer and closer, Jiang Chen roared several times, jumped from the tilting deck, and resolutely charged into the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army!
Jiang Chen raised a cat's paw and swiped, instantly tearing apart two elite late-stage Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish that lunged at him, their blood splattering!
At this moment, with Jiang Chen's strength, all Level 2 and below Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish died upon contact. Only Transcendent Level Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish could truly fight Jiang Chen!
However, as Chu Yun, who was standing on Jiang Chen's head, activated Lighthouse Guardian, all the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish immediately shrieked in terror and retreated repeatedly!
For the Undead-type Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish, Chu Yun, possessing extremely pure light attributes, was their absolute bane!
Lighthouse Guardian weakened the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish's strength, making Jiang Chen fearless even against Transcendent Level Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish!
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The powerful Jiang Chen instantly carved a bloody path through the seawater. Behind him, many examinees, inspired by Jiang Chen's example, bravely jumped down and joined the battle.
Nangong Yan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and silently followed behind Jiang Chen. The Tentacle Shrimp's many tentacles thrashed about, assisting Jiang Chen in killing enemies!
Blood blossomed across the sea surface!
"Kill, kill, kill!"
At the very front, Gong Hong had the Unicorn Iron Whale block the Red offering, while he himself led the Black Armored Army in a mad dash towards Rong City, forcefully tearing open a bloody path through the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army!
Time was running out!
He roared as he charged: "Don't stop, don't get bogged down in battle, charge through and destroy the Guidance Formation Array!"
"Charge!"
The Immortal Zither Frog played the skill [Inspiring Sound], boosting the confidence and strength of all human armies!
The sharp and stirring [Sound of Slaughter] rang out again, tearing apart the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish blocking Gong Hong and the Black Armored Army into fragments!
The Poison Ball Sea Cow also charged ahead, releasing streams of green poisonous gas from its massive belly, poisoning a large number of Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish. This was the skill [Poison Gas Plague].
Everyone fought desperately, slaughtering relentlessly!
However,
The number of Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish ambushing them here was simply too great!
Gong Hong, the Black Armored Army, and examinees like Jiang Chen charged repeatedly, but still found it difficult to break through. The Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army before them was like an endless tide!
Moreover, the closer they got to Rong City, the stronger the effects of the [Spirit of Fear] and [Undead Scorched Earth] skills became!
The red mist here had already become almost tangible!
The Immortal Zither Frog had no choice but to stop [Sound of Slaughter] and [Inspiring Sound], and switch to [Sound of Purification] and [Sound Shield]!
But this was a skill released by an entire Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army! The Immortal Zither Frog barely lasted a few minutes before its sound shield shattered, and the Sound of Purification abruptly ceased!
The Immortal Zither Frog suffered a severe backlash, and the strings of its konghou zither snapped!
Without the Immortal Zither Frog's protection, all human armies were immediately caught between [Spirit of Fear] and [Undead Scorched Earth]. Many soldiers and examinees cried out in agony!
Gong Hong's charging pace also grew slower and slower!
And at this time, there were still two or three kilometers left to Rong City!
Jiang Chen had Chu Yun exert all its effort to maintain Lighthouse Guardian and [Healing Rain], but the casting range was only 20 meters. Besides protecting Nangong Yan and a few nearby people, it was merely a drop in the bucket!
"Kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Jiang Chen, with bloodshot eyes, continued his frantic slaughter hysterically!
However, after three consecutive failed breakthroughs, the two-minute time limit was up!
"Chirp!!!"
A Red Devil Destruction Cannon, with a diameter of over a hundred meters, like a meteor from outside the heavens, pierced the sky with a buzzing sound that almost shattered everyone's eardrums, and crashed into Rong City's golden city-protecting Magic Array!
"Boom!!!"
A terrifying explosion erupted directly above Rong City, burning away all the dark clouds in the sky!
A massive, almost tangible shockwave surged in all directions, causing the calm sea surface to boil violently and erupt in columns of water!
The combined skills of [Spirit of Fear] and [Undead Scorched Earth] that enveloped the nearby sea were destroyed, but what was even more terrifying and horrifying was that...
Rong City's golden city-protecting Magic Array, after emitting a resounding hum that echoed through heaven and earth, could no longer hold on and shattered with a bang!
The terrifying impact directly caused many buildings within Rong City to collapse and crash to the ground, turning into ruins!
A giant wave also rose from the sea, sweeping away everyone who was stunned!
Everyone was stunned in the water, floating with the waves and dust, their faces filled with terror!
One shot!
Just one shot!
Rong City's strongest defensive Magic Array was completely destroyed!
"Chirp!!!"
At this moment, another red meteor lit up the sky in the distance, once again majestically shooting towards Rong City!
The Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army excitedly set up the Guidance Formation Array again, preparing for another shot!
Just one more shot, and Rong City would be completely erased from the map!
Jiang Chen, Nangong Yan, and the others looked with despair at the beautiful crimson meteor in the sky. Comparing it to the first Red Devil Destruction Cannon, everyone immediately calculated that in another minute, this crimson meteor would fall again!
And at this moment, Rong City no longer had its city-protecting Magic Array, completely exposed to the fangs of the sea race!
Jiang Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and he bit his lip in anger.
It's over, everything is over!
On the silent, oppressive sea, the waves gently rolled, and the arrogant, utterly rampant laughter of Red Offering slowly rose.
It laughed wildly, its face full of triumph and excitement: "Gong Hong, I told you that you are my defeated opponent, and you are my defeated opponent!"
"You will never defeat me!"
"From today onwards, Rong City will completely disappear from history, haha, haha!"
Red Offering and the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish sneered maliciously, contrasting with the despair and pain on the faces of Rong City's soldiers and examinees!
In the incredibly oppressive silence, Gong Hong, standing on the sea, his head bowed and his face covered in blood, suddenly spoke: "Poison Ball Sea Cow, come back!"
"Roar!"
"Skill, Man-Beast Unity!"
The next moment, the phantom of the Poison Ball Sea Cow pet appeared on Gong Hong, and then he walked step by step towards Red Offering, each step leaving a red footprint on the sea surface!
Gong Hong slowly raised his head, and a low but resonant voice emerged from his rough, unrestrained throat: "My Gong family, generation after generation, has been a family of soldiers."
"When I was 10, my father died fighting the sea race to protect Rong City!"
"When I was 13, my brother died in battle!"
"When I was 18, my younger brother died in battle!"
"When I was 20, my mother died in battle!"
"My parents, brothers, and sisters, now only I, Gong Hong, remain!"
"At that time, I swore an oath to defend Rong City to the death. I was born for this belief, and today, I will die for this belief!!!"
With each word Gong Hong spoke, the Poison Ball Sea Cow's massive belly on his body swelled a bit more.
When he finished speaking, the Poison Ball Sea Cow's already exaggeratedly huge belly had swelled by another two times!
Red Offering, who had been sneering wildly, now watched his face gradually stiffen, then suddenly remembered something, and it quickly turned to fear!
Its face was filled with horror as it stared at Gong Hong: "You..."
Gong Hong stared resolutely at the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army, then let out a fierce roar. Spiritual power exploded from his body in ripples, and he abruptly charged towards Red Offering!
Red Offering was so scared that it retreated frantically, but in less than an instant, Gong Hong caught up!
Gong Hong rushed towards Red Offering like a moth to a flame, roaring midway: "All Black Armored Army, please follow me, fight to the death and never retreat!"
After speaking, Gong Hong no longer hesitated and released another skill of the Poison Ball Sea Cow, [Poison Ball Explosion]!
"Boom!!!"
The Poison Ball Sea Cow's belly, expanded to its limit, immediately erupted with countless rays of light!
The terrifying sound of the explosion shook heaven and earth, and shockwaves slammed in all directions!
Gong Hong's explosion was actually no less powerful than the Red Devil Destruction Cannon from earlier!
Gong Hong and the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish Commander, caught in the explosion, instantly turned into two fireballs. Red Offering's massive, hard body was torn into pieces, scattering as chunks of flesh in all directions!
The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard!
"Black Armored Army, form up!!!"
As Gong Hong fell, all the Black Armored Army, injured and uninjured, cried out in sorrow to the sky and frantically gathered together.
They once again formed a neat military formation, filled with murderous intent, and charged towards the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army!
Among the Black Armored Army, someone started shouting a slogan. At first, there were only a few scattered voices, then it grew into a powerful, majestic sound that shook the sky:
"Valiant Old Qin,
Together for the nation!
Valiant Old Qin,
Restore our homeland!
Blood will not dry,
We will not cease fighting until death!
The nation has sharp warriors,
Who dares contend with us!!!"
Amidst the stirring and tragic slogan, countless Black Armored Army, like a sharp dagger, once again furiously charged into the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army!
This time, no one retreated!
This time, they would fight to the death!
If their hands were broken, they would kick. If their legs were broken, they would headbutt. If their heads couldn't headbutt, they would bite with their teeth!
As long as they had a breath left, these Black Armored Army frantically lunged at the enemy!
They were like tigers descending from the mountain, heroes going to their deaths, burning their lives fiercely!
The Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army was afraid, they were timid, and a gap was suddenly torn open!
