Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 427 382: The Crevice of the Giant City

Hundreds of hectares of wetland metasequoia suddenly turned into powder, and the vast swamp land experienced violent ripples, forming a terrifying swamp wave. At the same time, a grand steel city took flight, hovering like a divine mountain pressing down just less than a hundred meters above the wetland. The pressure it created turned the air currents within hundreds of miles into a murky air waterfall pouring towards the sky!

Evil City seemed as if it had been frozen.

All engines failed in an instant, their wooden structures creaked eerily, and although the city didn't come into direct contact, it was bearing the weight of Mount Tai, and its narrow space could no longer withstand the immense pressure, twisting into a Mirage City, appearing as if it could be erased by a gust at any moment!

The people of Evil City, partying inside their houses, suddenly became silent.

The world seemed muted, they were face to face with their friends, yet could not hear a sound.

As they looked out the windows, the dense metasequoia had turned into wooden particles, the swamps were twisting, the sky was pitch black without a single star, and everything looked as if it were behind a layer of violently surging ripples…

Most of the citizens of the city had limited worldviews and even if they caught a glimpse of Steel Eagle City, they couldn't see its grandeur fully. They only sensed the disappearance of sound and the increase in gravity, struggling to even blink or move a finger.

The eyes of the evildoers communicated with each other, each expressing a look of terrified astonishment.

Until a strange bell sound emerged from beneath the ground, breaking through the frozen space, sound, and background, and everything returned to normal.

"Buzz~~~~~~"

But the next second, a blazing Fiery Sun ignited in the night, faster than a solar eclipse, with a ferocity like flipping on an incandescent light to pierce through the darkness instantly, except what hung above their heads was not a tiny bulb but a magnificent, vast Fiery Sun, a Mythical Sun Crow within reach!

"Steel Eagle City!!!"

The leaders of the city finally reacted.

This Sky City's reputation echoed across the land, all villages, towns, and cities held it in immense awe, but not many had actually seen Steel Eagle City. No matter how exaggerated the wanderers had described Steel Eagle City to be, nothing compared to the shock of seeing it with their own eyes!

Although the people of Evil City served as bait, they, like Chen Fanfan, were unaware of the larger machinations between the two Living Cities, until the battle commenced. Only then did they suddenly realize why today's blue sky seemed a bit too artificially blue, why the bugs and fish in the swamp were unusually quiet...

The Fiery Sun's brilliance struck this little city, and at this moment, the difference between wooden and steel structures became starkly evident, with towering structures like Blade Wing capable of enveloping the entire city.

"Immediately disarm all your weapons and do not operate any engines!"

"Your city is now locked down by us, give up your futile attempts to escape. According to the information we have, a large number of fugitives are hiding in your buildings; under Da Xuan's law, we can bombard you if you attempt to flee!"

A commanding voice descended from the sky, ordering the entire city to surrender their weapons.

"Emperor Dynasty's lapdogs, go to hell!"

A curse came from one of the stone and wooden houses, it was unclear which brave soul among the evildoers was defiantly challenging the mighty Steel Eagle City, despite it hovering above like a massive Fiery Sun.

"Lock down the engines!"

"Eliminate the resistors!"

Chi Luo showed no mercy toward Evil City, issuing the order to shoot directly!

From the Eagle's Wings, multiple Digital Sky Eyes suddenly appeared, scanning through buildings to detect lifeforms on the ground, and the biological information of these criminals was recorded in the Da Xuan Dynasty's database, which these Digital Sky Eyes would use to identify and target in a very short time.

"Boom!!!!!!!!"

Suddenly, a series of Fiery Sun Beams struck the city, extraordinarily delicate yet incredibly precise, capable of penetrating the skull of a criminal man in bed without harming another man beside him.

The beams did no damage to the buildings nor caused any organic matter to ignite. It was as if they functioned as a biological annihilation code, instantly eradicating the targeted creatures, achieving an ethereal transcendence amidst air!

Thirty percent of the people in the city were eliminated on the spot. The guests who had come for services, those forcibly kept in the city, and merely passing travelers were scared out of their wits. They ran frantically within the city trying to escape this terrifying execution ground, but upon climbing over the walls, they discovered an invisible air wall outside, making it impossible to escape the area.

The ground-imprisoning array had been activated, and the city was locked in from inside. Neither the city itself nor the people within could escape.

"They have underground areas too," said the command tier of Steel Eagle Cityerialization Blog.

"Use the Eagle Claws to dig them out!" ordered Chi Luo.

The Eagle Claws activated, and massive claws from the sky dug into the earth, overturning the soil beneath the city...

"Mayor, it's very deep, and all their materials are also stored in underground warehouses. The Eagle Claws need to go deeper."

"Tell the Deputy Mayor, Levi, to carry out the excavation task," Chi Luo stated.

"Vice Mayor… Vice Mayor… Huh, where is the Vice Mayor??"

"Forget it, take control of the deep operations of Eagle's Wings from the palace area; don't waste time, quick fight, quick decision!" Chi Luo ordered.

From the highest level, the palace area took direct control of the Eagle's Wings, which once again swooped down, piercing the rock layer directly.

However, the moment it touched the rock layer, the earth suddenly tore open, and a terrifying Purgatory Canyon appeared beneath the surface. Thick black-red magma erupted instantly, and amidst the endless blazing fire, a nine-headed monstrous beast burst forth from the ground, its body entwining around the lower half of the Steel Eagle like an ancient Earth Dragon!

"Not good, it's Hell Nine-Headed City!"

A sharp cry rang throughout the entire command layer, followed by the holographic screens of all the Steel Eagle City battle personnel being taken over by Hell Nine-Headed City. Every one of them felt as if they were swallowed into the Demon City. The intense soul shock caused their brains to completely crash, momentarily unsure how to react!

This time, they didn't merely brush past Hell Nine-Headed City; they were completely ensnared by its nine heads!

"Activate Blade Wing!"

Chi Luo immediately issued the command.

Feather Tower transformed, turning into sharp blades, each blade a skyscraper in size, shaped like mountainous giant blades. As the wings rotated, the blade wings sawed towards Hell Nine-Headed City.

Hell Nine-Headed City, forged from solid rock and steel, its metallurgy technology in no way inferior to that of Eagle City; their fortress, their stronghold, their combat shields showed no fear towards such blade technology. Steel Eagle City's Feather Towers got damaged one by one, collapsing tower by tower, the grandioise nine-headed beast still straining and forming Earth Fire Chains, crisscrossing on the streets of Steel Eagle City...

The Earth Fire Chains, acting like seals, would lock onto the engines beneath the city's foundations upon contact. Steel Eagle City had thousands of engines; with the binding of Earth Fire, a third of the city's engines immediately went out!

"Crystal Energy Shield!"

Panic was visibly on Chi Luo's face, his voice turning shrill.

The crystal structures in the palace area instantly radiated beams of energy, swiftly condensing into sections of translucent crystal layers within the city, capable of blocking all external forces.

"Ga!!!!!!!!"

Suddenly, Ancient Temple Shura Head attacked, resembling a dragon-headed Buddha with inscriptions all over, it opened its massive mouth and bit the crystal structure in the palace area, shattering it instantly.

Dark Energy roiled around Ancient Temple Shura Head, wrapping it into an exaggerated Hell Evil Dragon, as if anticipating Eagle City's maneuver; before the activation of the Crystal Energy Shield, Ancient Temple Shura Head had already crushed their vital structure, instantly annihilating the Crystal Energy Drive!

"How is this possible???"

"How did it precisely find the Crystal Energy Driver!!"

"We have ten disguised Crystal Palaces!"

The Crystal Palace was directly destroyed, and not far from the command palace area. What Chi Luo couldn't understand was, even if Grand Canyon City knew about their Crystal Energy Technology Shield, how could they perfectly strike the true one among ten choices!

"A spy."

"Levi said before, there are Grand Canyon City spies among us."

It hit Chai Qiu suddenly, recalling before the combat meeting that he had been informed about this.

"Why didn't you report this to me!! It's your dereliction of duty!!" Chi Luo pointed at Chai Qiu, roaring.

Chai Qiu's role was the security of the entire command layer, including investigating enemy city spies.

Such vital information about the Crystal Energy Shield had been known by the enemy, coupled with falling into a trap precisely laid by others, wasn't this proof enough of a spy from Grand Canyon City among them?

"Where is Levi???" At this moment, everyone in the command layer realized, Levi's predictions had all come true. Initially, it was Levi's excellent suggestions that had saved them from Grand Canyon City's hunt. Now, as the situation was urgent and Chi Luo repeatedly misjudging, it was critical to change the commander!

"He… he seems to be in his own town... not good, he's dismantling the hub, piloting his Living Town to detach from us!" At this moment, someone from the command layer discovered this operation.

"Levi, you deserter!! Even if you survive, you'll face the Da Xuan Court!" Chi Luo opened his communicator and roared.

"Mayor, don't pin that kind of crime on me. Our town has been hit hard by Grand Canyon City, the hub is damaged. Clearly, it's your failed strategy causing us to fend off attacks forcibly. For now, think about how to survive, let's discuss everything later in the Da Xuan Court, I will report all the foolish decisions that led to Steel Eagle City's downfall in detail. If I were you, I'd choose to die valiantly!" Levi was no longer polite, not giving Chi Luo any dignity in his last communication.

It's not like he is a God.

At this point, still expecting to lead Steel Eagle City to salvation?

Levi closed the communicator, disengaged the hub, and promptly detached his familiar town, leading all its inhabitants into Evil City.

Hell Nine-Headed City and Steel Eagle City are now locked in close-quarters brawl, an engagement no less intense than volcanoes colliding with iron mountains, the nine-headed beast barely able to pay attention to such a town lacking major destructive weapons…
