"Drink..."
Ye Chengtian swung his sword, carrying a fierce combat aura, and sent a group of soldiers who were approaching flying, reeling and crashing into the already damaged buildings around.
"Ice Seal..." Ye Lanyu whipped her hand, casting a magic spell at a concentrated enemy area. A burst of cold light exploded, and where the light touched, frost rapidly formed, freezing everything within the range, including people!
"Fire Dance!" In an instant, Princess Qi cast a fire dragon straight into the frozen area, directly blasting it open.
The clash of ice and fire made those people disappear...
Meanwhile, Ye Yi, like Ruan Linger, was also attracting attention. High-level martial experts were fearless here, and they were unstoppable!!
It seemed that at this moment, Long Anqi was just an ordinary person leading the group of common people to move, but when there were stragglers, she effortlessly shot out an ice arrow to solve them.
Although they weren't many, their capabilities were terrifying. Even a thousand-strong army would find it hard to resist them. In this kind of urban warfare, they were even more at ease.
In this way, everyone quickly made their way to the south of the city, breaking through one barrier after another.
"Grandfather, will they be able to anticipate our visit to the Vermilion Bird Empire?" Ye Lang asked in the middle of the conversation.
"They shouldn't be able to anticipate it. No one knows about your grandfather's family, so they won't think in that direction," Ye Yi shook his head in response. Although not very certain, he also had about 80-90% confidence in his answer.
"That's good then. They won't be able to estimate our route!" Ye Lang said, then continued to defend among the crowd. Since he learned martial arts, he had been defensive, without launching any attacks.
With a group of experts attacking, did he need to take action?
Compared to the martial arts of these people, Ye Lang's martial arts were much weaker. It was manageable when facing one person, but it was a headache to clear a path for so many people.
Moreover, even if he had a reason to clear the way, others wouldn't want him to. Would Ye Lan Yu and the others allow him to take such risks outside?
Furthermore, his Water Moon Mirror defense was almost unmatched, capable of completely defending against any attacks and reflecting all attacks. It would be a waste if he didn't use it for defense!
Now, if Zhao Yarou were to name what bothers her the most, it would be the Water Moon Mirror of Ye Lang. The trouble level presented by this far exceeded that of Ye Yi and Ruan Linger, the two supreme-level experts.
Because, the Water Moon Mirror rendered many large-scale attack methods ineffective. Without it, she could sacrifice an entire city area or even a large group of soldiers to annihilate Ye Lang and his team.
However, since the first attack was easily deflected back by Ye Lang, she had not used these methods again, and could only resort to overwhelming them with numbers.
At this point, almost everyone had a new evaluation of Ye Lang's Water Moon Mirror—unbelievable!
On the way here, Ye Lang had almost instantly deployed multiple versions of the Water Moon Mirror, deflecting all attacks. What was even more outrageous was that he could freely adjust its size.
The most outrageous thing was that he could even use one with one hand and simultaneously release two!
This made it impossible to beat him. With such absolute defense, how could anyone break it? Even supreme-level experts could not destroy it in a short period of time; they could only endure it!
With such an unbeatable defense, this group was invincible, without any worries about what's behind them.
However…
"No need to rush the city gate, just leave from here. Otherwise, I can't afford the expenditure of my magic power!" Ye Lang shouted. His "invincibility" wasn't continuous; resisting a wave of attacks would deplete some of his magical power.
If, just now, Zhao Yarou had continuously used large-scale attack methods, she could have also exhausted Ye Lang, but the losses would have been too great, so she failed once and didn't consider a second attempt.
"How do we get out of here? The city wall is magically protected and won't be easily destroyed. We don't have the time to linger here," Ye Chengtian frowned.
He certainly knew that this consumption was not feasible, and leaving from here was the best choice; leaving through the city gate would definitely encounter more pursuers.
"Don't worry, I've studied the design of this city wall. We can destroy a part of it to bring down this section of the wall." Ye Lang smiled and took out his specialized alchemical cannon, then made adjustments.
"Why did you study this? Why would you do this?" Ye Chengtian and the others asked puzzledly; this seemed irrelevant.
"Don't you know? The entire imperial city's defense is based on alchemy arrays, with numerous alchemical concepts inside, which are worth my reference! Don't underestimate us alchemists. You will never understand how much alchemists have contributed to this continent! You only know how to destroy, while alchemists not only destroy but also build!" Ye Lang said deeply moved.
Throughout the continent, although alchemists were somewhat respected and had a dedicated discipline, martial qi and magic had always been prioritized!
However, as Ye Lang had said, martial qi and magic were used for combat, to display strength, while alchemy was more for construction.
A city could do without warriors or mages, but not without alchemists. Alchemists were designers, engineers, and scientists, covering various fields.
*Sizzle!*
A thin beam shot out from Ye Lang's alchemical cannon into the city wall, a sight that surprised many. What was this? It seemed to have no power; what use could it serve? Not to mention a city wall with magical protection, even an ordinary wall couldn't be pierced through!
However, everyone quickly saw the result. This seemingly powerless beam was effective, and its use was quite apparent.
They saw a bright light emanating from inside the city wall, growing increasingly visible…
*Boom! Boom!*
The city wall shook, the tremors instantly amplifying, and then it collapsed, crashing down!
Before everyone, a breach appeared in the city wall. Although the debris had formed a small mountain, it would still take ordinary people a long time to pass through, but for these experts, it was not difficult!
Although the exit had appeared, everyone was in a brief moment of shock. They seemed to not believe that the adamantine city wall, which they had never been able to destroy and had protected them countless times, had just been brought down by Ye Lang!!
