Chapter 225 Chapter 225: Showoff
The Martial Alliance members felt a chill run down their spines as they surveyed the formidable opponents standing before them, each more powerful than the last.
The masked men radiated an aura of power that sent waves of fear through the Martial Alliance Ships.
Yan Xu clenched his fists, determination burning brightly in his eyes. He had always thrived in challenging situations, and this was no exception.
Initially, he had believed the situation might not be challenging enough. However, as he observed the other side, excitement coursed through him. The more dangerous it became, the greater the glory he could attain when he eventually saved them.
Nevertheless, he understood the importance of timing. If the Martial Alliance did not experience the terror instilled by these people, they would not appreciate his assistance.
"Prepare for battle!" the Martial Alliance Leader bellowed, rallying his comrades. "No matter what happens, we fight with every ounce of strength we possess! We will not allow them to defeat us without a fight!"
The Martial Alliance Members drew their weapons, their bodies trembling under the immense pressure. Nevertheless, they followed the command.
They comprehended that the forthcoming battle would be intense, but they were prepared to confront any challenge, even if it meant sacrificing their lives.
The Martial Alliance Members launched themselves off the ship, flying towards the masked warriors, intent on killing the strongest enemies on the opposing side.
As the clash of swords and spears erupted, the battlefield transformed into a chaotic frenzy. The Martial Alliance Members fought with unwavering determination, showcasing their skills and training. However, it was evident that the other side exerted minimal effort in comparison.
It was as though the opposing force was merely toying with them.
"This pitiful strength is what gave you such confidence? How disappointing!" the Leader of the masked men sighed after a few minutes.
He raised his sword and bellowed, "It\'s a waste of time! Retreat!"
The men under his command instantly withdrew, their speed leaving the Martial Alliance Members unable to prevent their escape. This further emphasized the gaping disparity in strength between the two sides.
Some Martial Alliance Warriors interpreted the retreat as a sign of fear from the enemy. However, most of them knew better. They feared what prompted the retreat.
Their worst fears materialized when the leader of the masked men swung his sword horizontally, unleashing a terrifying arc of aura that sliced through the air, growing larger with each passing second. In an instant, thousands of Martial Alliance Warriors were slain, their limbs cascading from the sky as if it were raining blood.
Even those who survived had barely evaded the attack.
The surviving members exchanged horrified glances. Though the masked man possessed a cultivation level comparable to that of the Martial Alliance Leader, his strength surpassed any comparison.
While the Martial Alliance Leader possessed formidable cultivation, his offensive capabilities were limited, much like the rest of them since they were alchemists. On the contrary, their enemies were skilled warriors.
Despite mentally preparing themselves for death, witnessing the gruesome spectacle caused even the most resolute Martial Alliance members to hesitate.
Gradually, they began to retreat, their movements driven by instinct and fear.
The Martial Alliance members slowly started moving back, their steps faltering as fear gripped their hearts. The horrifying display of power from the masked men had shattered their confidence and left them questioning their ability to overcome this formidable enemy.
Even though the Martial Alliance Leader tried to motivate them, but it seemed to have lost its effect. Many of the warriors landed on the ground, falling to their knees, begging to surrender, promising to work like slaves for the invaders.
Even some Martial Alliance Heads followed suit, offering their services to the invaders, fearing the outcome of any delay.
Seeing such a shameless display of cowardice, the Martial Alliance Leader felt his blood boil.
"How can you fall to your feet before the invaders? Have you lost your spine?! Is that kind of life better than death?" he asked.
The Martial Alliance Members who had surrendered didn\'t dare look up. They remained on the ground, pretending as if they didn\'t hear anything.
"Good decision," the leader of the Masked Men looked at the people on the ground. "However..."
The Masked Men appeared behind the ones who had surrendered, slicing their throats. Blood splashed everywhere.
"You missed the opportunity. You should\'ve accepted when I offered first." A cold voice echoed through the entire battlefield, telling everyone that it was too late to surrender. Everyone was going to die here.
The slaughter once again resumed. One after another, people kept dying and the number of Martial Alliance Members kept decreasing.
Throughout the entire battle, only one Masked Man had died, and that too because three Martial Alliance Heads worked together to kill him. Even then, they didn\'t come out completely unharmed.
No Formations that were set in advance in this place by the Martial Alliance, no traps, nothing worked for them.
"No matter how much we fight, we can\'t change our fate..." the Martial Alliance Leader muttered, seeing death all around him.
He looked back at Yan Xu back on the ship, his eyes filled with regret towards his daughter and the young man. He wanted to tell the young man to run away and at least save his life. However, he didn\'t.
He had already given the poison to his daughter. In case they were to lose, he didn\'t want his daughter to be caught either. There was no place to hide in this world.

"He\'s quite shameless. He can end this war yet he\'s just staying behind. I\'m quite impressed. Is this truly a Heaven\'s Child?"
From a distance, Xu Shan watched like a spectator, observing Yan Xu who hadn\'t moved in the least.
"Aren\'t you doing the same when you can end this war instantly?" Xin laughed next to him.
"Don\'t compare me to that idiot. He\'s just waiting so he could show off. And I\'m waiting for him to show off," Xu Shan answered.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he straightened up, noticing Yan Xu move. "Looks like he\'s starting."
