CHAPTER 665: CHAPTER 664: THE ATTACK BY PULLING THE FIREWOOD FROM UNDER THE POT

When the barrier constructed by superpower energy disappeared, it marked the beginning of the second stage of the trial.

Command platforms appeared respectively in front of Hai Zhuming and Hedis.

A force enveloped Lu Zixun, as if it was a compulsion.

Unfortunately, this power was much weaker than the one responsible for executions, and Lu Zixun easily broke free.

Gazing at the aggressive Deep Divers ahead, it was clear that they wanted to charge, but the power restrained them.

In contrast, the Merfolk appeared much calmer, knowing that it was Hai Zhuming who was controlling them, and a feeling named trust filled their hearts.

As Lu Zixun contemplated how this trial would proceed,

Void fluctuations appeared in the surrounding seawater, and in the next moment, the Deep Divers and the Merfolk were teleported to two unfamiliar locations.

Looking around the environment, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes—isn’t this the place where the Merfolk set up their defensive works as they advanced?

It seems that this trial was indeed to assist Hai Zhuming.

But...

Lu Zixun’s whiskers trembled slightly; this trial had changed, and perhaps the destiny of Hai Zhuming might also change?

Uncontrolled, Lu Zixun felt that just following behind the Merfolk wasn’t quite right.

After much thought, Lu Zixun summoned the Night Evil Sword, separated the seawater, and floated into the air to watch television.

After all, in this trial about command capabilities, Hai Zhuming already had an initial advantage.

With Hai Zhuming’s keen sense for warfare, victory should not be a problem.

It was just unknown whether, aside from testing command capabilities, there wouldn’t be other things hidden in this assessment, like in the first stage.

Spiritual Energy Silk hid within the seawater, observing the movements, while Lu Zixun indulged in watching television.

At this moment, Hai Lanyue had already reached the outskirts of the battlefield and immediately noticed Lu Zixun separating the water, confusion written all over her face.

It seemed very surprising to her that Lu Zixun was still alive.

This strange alteration slightly disrupted Hai Lanyue’s plan.

However, everything was under control; a G-level Spiritual Ability User would not affect the ultimate plan.

After taking a long look at Lu Zixun, Hai Lanyue moved towards the upper layer of ice.

Under the control of Hai Zhuming, the Merfolk army repeatedly secured victories, and the number of Deep Divers dwindled, staining the seawater with crimson blood.

The seabed, filled with the scent of blood, caused Lu Zixun to frown displeasedly.

Even Lu Zixun could see that, in this stage, Hedis stood no chance against Hai Zhuming.

Yet despite this, the trial was still ongoing—was it necessary to annihilate the Deep Divers’ forces to end it?

Thinking of this, Lu Zixun’s brow furrowed slightly—what kind of inheritor did the Sealing God Road really want to cultivate?

The currently commanding Hai Zhuming looked deathly pale, controlling so many people for the first time without any assistance.

With his current abilities, it was quite a struggle.

However, the good news was that the remaining forces of the Deep Divers were less than ten thousand. If Hai Zhuming could maintain this state for a little while longer, it was certain that they could wipe out the Deep Divers entirely.

Hedis’ face showed neither grief nor joy, as if the ones dying were not his subordinates.

With a flick of his wrist, the Deep Diver army began to speed up its repositioning; within a mere five minutes, all members had arrived behind the unguarded ranks of the Merfolk army.

Feeling the Deep Divers touch his Spiritual Energy Silk, Lu Zixun’s gaze withdrew from the television and turned toward the pitch-black ocean behind him.

Thinking it was a strategy of Hai Zhuming, Lu Zixun, upon seeing the panic on the faces of the Merfolk, instantly understood.

Heidi was planning to pull the rug out from under the last of the army, but it seemed Hai Zhuming had not noticed this.

This was going to be a bit tricky...

Lu Zixun raised a paw to rub his face, contemplating whether he should intervene.

If it was as Hai Xin said, in this situation, wasn’t it the perfect setting for a sacrificial scene?

A desperate army was bound to win; this saying suited the Deep Divers now, who might just manage to annihilate the Merfolk army and perish with them.

However, Lu Zixun was clearly not Hai Xin.

For Lu Zixun who believed in helping his kin rather than standing by principle, since Hai Zhuming had chosen to be a Corrector rather than an inheritor, Lu Zixun felt he should lend a hand, no matter what.

After all, such beings, filled with justice and hope, were exceedingly rare.

Lying on his Night Evil Sword, drifting with the current of the sea, Lu Zixun instantly arrived in front of the Deep Divers.

Looking at the less than ten thousand Deep Diver army, Lu Zixun was slightly surprised.

Even under the powerful command of Hai Zhuming, Hedis had managed to reserve thousands of J-level Sea Ability Users, showing considerable strength.

It was a pity they weren’t I-level; otherwise, Lu Zixun really wouldn’t have been able to handle this bunch of Deep Divers. But now...

"Extreme Cold Moon Wheel."

The appearance of the Guang Han Moon on the seabed seemed very abrupt.

But in the next instant, the Guang Han Moon turned the surrounding seawater into ice, and overwhelming Ice Blades shot out, penetrating the bodies of the Deep Divers.

A coordinated volley wiped out thousands of Deep Divers and before they could rearrange their formation, a second volley arrived.

Not expecting Hedis to be hiding a G-level Spiritual Ability User, a look of urgency and concern appeared on his face, making his commands somewhat erratic.

Just when Lu Zixun thought Hedis had given up, a detachment of two thousand was pulled away to intercept Lu Zixun.

The rest of the Deep Divers launched a kamikaze attack on the Merfolk army.

"Fog Grass!"

Surprised by this maneuver, Lu Zixun was no longer able to extricate himself from these two thousand fighters; he could only hope Hai Zhuming would notice something was amiss.

When the scouting party failed to find any trace of the Deep Divers for an extended period, Hai Zhuming had already become vigilant.

Unfortunately, when they encountered the Deep Divers again, they were launching a kamikaze attack.

Initially thinking that Hedis was trying to win the second round, it turned out that what he really wanted was merely to weaken the Merfolk army.

Even though Hai Zhuming switched formations in time to resist the Deep Divers, it was too late.

The Deep Divers, having breached the Merfolk army’s defenses, set off their Sea Energy self-destruct sequence, and spirals of powerful Spiritual Energy exploded among the Merfolk, causing countless deaths and injuries.

Lu Zixun, after dealing with the two thousand suicide squad, returned to a scene of absolute devastation; the Merfolk army had suffered deaths numbering up to fifteen thousand due to the Deep Divers’ assault.

If Lu Zixun remembered correctly, only about three thousand Deep Divers had charged over.

How could the Merfolk have been beaten so badly? Truly strange.
