I Have a Compass for Opportunity
Chapter 48 - 44: Flying Sword from Beyond the Heavens (Part 2)
Liou Yuan’s face was also clouded with worry.
The power of the Star Evil had permeated the city, which could only mean one thing—the Moat Array was beginning to weaken.
As the saying goes, enduring defense eventually fails.
Faced with the relentless attack of the Alien Star Evil for a full day and night.
No matter how solid the Moat Array was, there would inevitably come a day when it would be breached.
"I hope this array can hold out a bit longer."
Despite saying this, Liou Yuan still felt uncertain in his heart.
He gazed far into the distance at the high wall that was shaking amidst continuous booms and decided to go check it out.
He didn’t like being passive.
Even if Yanhe City couldn’t hold out, Liou Yuan needed to know how much longer the array could last so he could prepare for the potential disasters that might follow.
Otherwise, it would be too late when the time came.
With this thought in mind, Liou Yuan headed downstairs.
In the process, he happened to run into Xin Hao, who was coming up in search of him.
Mr. Xin’s face also showed panic, as if he was coming to ask Liou Yuan about the situation.
But Liou Yuan didn’t have time to waste with him at that moment.
He threw a statement over his shoulder: "Mr. Xin, just maintain stability in the Western District; the City Lord and we will handle the rest."
Before he finished speaking, Liou Yuan had already disappeared around the street corner.
After a cup of tea’s time, Liou Yuan climbed up the city wall.
The city guards had long evacuated from the walls.
The commotion above was too great, affecting the walls to the point that ordinary people couldn’t stand firm on them.
When Liou Yuan ascended, the guards below kindly reminded him.
Liou Yuan didn’t respond, he just climbed up with his head down.
The situation on the wall was indeed perilous.
The waves of vibrations rippled across from the Moat Array to the wall.
Creating a strong shake on the city wall.
Being in the midst of it, Liou Yuan felt like he was being tossed by ocean waves, constantly facing pressure from all sides, his body shaking uncontrollably.
"Has it really come to this point?"
The situation was obviously worse than Liou Yuan had expected.
He had no choice but to summon his Spiritual Power, forcing his way through the pressure from all sides, crouching low, and pushing towards the battlement.
Facing the fierce wind pressure, he exposed half his head, looking beyond the wall.
The sight before him made his pupils suddenly contract.
There was Mr. Wei’s figure covered in black aura, shockingly stepping into the Moat.
That was the area where the Moat Array was most powerful.
Countless water soldiers and generals leaped out of the river, surrounding him in the center.
Several thick water columns transformed into chains, wrapping around Mr. Wei’s body.
Despite being hindered by the water columns and water soldiers, Mr. Wei, possessed by the Alien Star Evil, stood there at ease.
Although he couldn’t break free of the water column’s shackles for the moment, it didn’t stop him from stirring up trouble.
Whooo~~~ The ghostly face transformed from black aura opened its mouth, swallowing the approaching water soldiers and generals whole.
Fortunately, the Moat’s water flowed endlessly.
Water soldiers and generals appeared in endless numbers.
But the battle between Mr. Wei and the river’s water soldiers had already impacted the city walls, leaving deep cracks on the outer wall.
This was also the reason for the internal tremor in Yanhe City.
Liou Yuan gazed at the figure standing in the center of the Moat, exuding a ferocious aura, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead involuntarily.
He originally thought the Moat Array, no matter how bad, would hold for seven or eight days.
Never did he expect that not even a day and night later, the Star Evil had already broken through halfway.
"No, in less than half a day, that ghost thing will cross the Moat and invade the walls."
Liou Yuan’s mind had already considered retreat, imagining the possibility of taking Bai Xin and the others to leave Yanhe City first.
Even though the outside during the ferocious on-duty period was perilous, with only a slim chance of survival.
It was better than waiting to die in Yanhe City.
Meanwhile.
At the array’s core beneath the Yanhe Government Office.
Xu Xiang was exhausting every effort to mobilize the array’s power, consuming an alarming amount of Spiritual Power.
The Spirit Stones in front of him shattered one after another in the process of resisting the Alien Star Evil.
Xu Xiang, sitting cross-legged at the array’s core, trembled, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
This City Lord, who always appeared composed and unhurried in front of others, now had eyes filled with despair.
At the same time Xu Xiang spat blood.
Liou Yuan clearly felt the power in the Moat water weakening, the water columns wrapping around Mr. Wei shattering one by one.
Finally, Mr. Wei broke free.
"Why did it shatter so suddenly!" Liou Yuan exclaimed.
He couldn’t understand why the array that had been so strongly resisting Mr. Wei had suddenly lost its power.
There wasn’t even time for Liou Yuan to react.
Simultaneously.
Whooo~~~
A piercing ghostly wail shot from Mr. Wei’s mouth.
His eyes erupted with a bloody red light.
Leaping out of the Moat, the black aura behind him formed wings shaped like a bat.
Flying towards the city wall of Yanhe City.
Seeing the wings spread, towering almost as high as the city walls, Liou Yuan’s mind went blank, muttering in a daze, "Yanhe City is finished."
The Moat was the last line of defense against the Star Evil.
Once invaded by the Alien Star Evil, Yanhe City would inevitably be slaughtered.
First, he was dazed, then seeing Mr. Wei getting closer, Liou Yuan’s expression suddenly turned fierce.
At this position, escaping was absolutely impossible.
Liou Yuan was the kind of person who, pressed into a desperate situation, would fight to the death even if it meant dying.
"Buzz!" The yellow jade Buddhist Beads shield activated.
Liou Yuan drew out his giant sword, his Spiritual Power running directly.
Accompanied by the resonating tremor of his five organs and senses, Liou Yuan stood upright, wielding the giant sword in his hand, and swung it towards the encroaching opponent, one he was almost certain he couldn’t defeat.
