Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 1313 - The Fall of the Palace

Chapter 1313: The Fall of the Palace

The water ghosts, who had been hiding underwater for a long time, did not seem to need to go above water in order to breathe. When sound waves from dozens of kilometers away transmitted over, they laughed. Suddenly, four veins appeared at the sides of their necks. The veins looked like the gills of fish.

The gills opened and closed. They took in water, absorbed the oxygen, and released the water. These people had completely changed their body structure. They could now live underwater.

These water ghosts had been waiting quietly underwater, like statues that had dropped into the water. Suddenly, a school of fish swam past them. They followed the fish before capturing them.

The water ghosts bit the fish. The blood of over 3000 fish flowed out as they died. Their blood instantly dyed the clear waters red. The water ghosts chewed the meat from their stomachs. Then, they tossed the dead fish to their horses.

At that moment, the beasts they were sitting on all opened their red eyes. Jets of water flared out from their nostrils. The beasts opened their mouths wide and swallowed the fish. Their legs kicked against the riverbed. They flew forwards like arrows.

These beasts resembled qilin[1]. Each creature had the mouth of a dragon, the head of a lion, the scales of a fish, the tail of a cow, the claws of a tiger, and the horns of a deer. It was as if their entire body was made out of bronze. They were unusually ferocious.

The water ghosts were very excited. After the war, their relatives could only become fishermen. No one knew their former glory. In the water, they were superior.

Of course, they had no other choice. When Sun Xunwen took over the West Region, they had been taken by him as his slaves. As slaves, they could not fight against their masters. Most of the slave owners Yu Fuyao had sent to Earth were her own slaves. These slaves could also become slave owners.

Since there was no way out, they would enjoy themselves!

This time, their mission was to head towards the palace. They were to dig up the palace and the inner palace.

After they allowed water to flow into the inner city, the inner city would become their battlefield!

In order for them to attack safely, Sun Xunwen had told them that they would definitely work together with the East Region to attack. All they had to do was to break through the city and kill. There was no need to be afraid.

The East Region’s s.h.i.+ps and armies approached the palace at almost the same time. Almost concurrently, all the water ghosts were released. Sun Xunwen walked out of the cabin onto the deck and looked at the palace.

He had left this place one month ago. Now, he had returned, but his aims were completely different.

The water ghosts wildly swam in the water. When they reached the outside of the palace, they sped up. Their ma.s.sive claws scratched against the city walls. Their greenish black claws and teeth quickly broke through the city walls like cutting through tofu.

There was nothing special about the walls of the palace. It had been laid, brick by brick, by the civilians of the Luniverse. How could it withstand the attacks of these ma.s.sive underwater creatures?

Sun Xunwen furrowed his eyebrows. Why was it so quiet in the inner city? Did they have no plans of guarding the outer city?

If it were him, he would definitely fight for every inch of land. Every step they took back would increase the risk of danger!

The silence in the palace was abnormal. Sun Xunwen knew very well that Lu Shu was not someone who would give up on a fight.

Not long after, the city walls of the palace started to collapse rapidly. Parts of the wall fell into the water.

The palace had stood in the Luniverse for countless years. Now, it had collapsed. When Sun Xunwen watched the city wall collapse, it was as if he was watching the pa.s.sing of an era!

Those glory days were no more!

The water ghosts retreated backwards and they laughed wildly as they watched the fall of the palace. As ambitious people, was there a greater achievement than destroying the palace?

They could not understand why they wanted to submerge the surrounding area of the palace and turn this place into their place of joy!

In the past, even if they wanted to attack the palace, they could not. But now, it was different!

But when the wall started to collapse, Sun Xunwen suddenly saw Lu Shu, who was in the inner city, closing his eyes as he stood. Masters could see everything within a 50 kilometer radius. Everyone knew this. The people around Sun Xunwen did not know what he was looking at, but Sun Xunwen felt a chill. He could not sense any nervousness from Lu Shu.

Besides peace, there was only peace.

He could see Lu Shu. Lu Shu could also see him. When Lu Shu felt that someone was looking at him, he suddenly opened his eyes. His field of vision s.h.i.+fted to Sun Xunwen, as if it traversed through time and s.p.a.ce.

Sun Xunwen saw a smile instantly disappear from Lu Shu’s face. Then, scattered drops of blood started to form near the palace. It was as if blood-colored flowers were blooming in the water!

The water ghosts were dying. Sun Xunwen could feel this. In this mind, the seals of a slave were disappearing one by one. The seals were like candle flames swaying in the wind. They were extinguished with just one blow.

What was happening? They did not see anyone attack. Who had killed the water ghosts?

They turned the ma.s.sive palace into a vast ocean. Why were they doing this?

Earlier, everyone had thought that Lu Shu wanted to use water to deter the outsiders. They thought that Lu Shu wanted to use the Long Yin River as a moat. But now, everyone realized that they had thought too simply. He had a trump card underwater.

Lu Shu’s water-type abilities were unknown to the Pract.i.tioners in the Luniverse. But it did not mean that his abilities were useless if he did not use them.

The water ghosts were shocked. They did not see the enemy, but countless comrades were dying in the waters.

The beasts they were sitting on were restless and impatient. They wanted to destroy something, but they could not find the enemy!

Suddenly, a water ghost felt that there was something in front of them causing the current to flow. They could feel it, but they could not avoid it. This was a master’s ability to control water. This was Lu Shu’s home ground!

The surrounding water ghosts watched helplessly as one water ghost was split into two by an invisible water sword! Its blood flowed out, blurring their vision. They could only sense that danger was everywhere in the water!

They were tyrants in the water. Their beasts had always been undefeated underwater. But at this moment, they suddenly felt that they could do so in the water as they had never encountered such a frightening opponent!

The water that the water ghosts loved to play in had become their cause of death!

It was as if a ma.s.sive, invisible hand tightly gripped them in the water. In one sweep, dozens of water ghosts and creatures were grasped and killed!

Lu Shu looked up and smiled at Sun Xunwen. Did he think that he would be able to break through the walls with just water ghosts?

Did they think that they were invincible after living underwater for so long? It was because they had never met a master who could control water.

The frog in the well would say that the sky was vast!
