Chapter 1715: 573-2 Chapter Eastern Defense System {Part 2}

“It’s not just excellent! This is simply a perfect, intelligent defense barrier!” Master Stefano made a pointed and high evaluation: “Oh oh oh~ This barrier is definitely a nemesis to our Saint Francisco Empire’s magic trainers!”

“It’s not only a nemesis to magic trainers, but also to magic formulators! Didn’t you hear what Jiulang just said? At the moment of attack, the entire ‘Five Elements Defense Array’ suddenly awakens and rapidly gathers a large amount of defensive power to resist damage from certain attack focuses! This is practically a defense barrier without a ‘Hook’s Blind Spot!'” Liu Zhenhan felt his blood boil, his eyes shining with a predatory light.

Large barrier equipment has always been the treasure he’s dreamed of, but the two best barrier equipment-producing countries on the Aegean Continent, Saint Reuel and Saint Roland, are permanently neutral and never engage in external aggression. Moreover, these two principalities are typical mountain countries, occupying natural fortresses, easy to defend and hard to attack, so they don’t care about stockpiling offensive armaments. He has always had no good way or conditions to obtain the national treasures of the other party.

In Liu Zhenhan’s eyes, a magic barrier is like sunglasses; people inside can cast magic outward, but people outside can’t cast magic inward. Such a good thing not appearing before him is one thing, but now it has appeared right in front of him. How can he let it go for nothing?

“Richard, everything has a ‘Hook’s Blind Spot,’ and this magical Oriental barrier is certainly no exception!” Aymar Master slightly disagreed with Old Liu’s statement: “Its intelligent response is just a compensatory method, not unassailable. The performance of the Golden Dwarves indirectly proved this point, didn’t it?”

“Aymar Master makes sense! The ‘Five Elements Defense Array’ is a new type of formation inspired by the Silk Continent descendants from ancient alchemist remnants and slowly developed. No matter how excellent its resistance, it’s not as solid as the cloud of the Qin alchemists’ impenetrable defense formation from those days! Besides, it can’t resist physical attacks; for an army of people, this defensive array is nothing more than paper-thin.” Yitiao smirked: “I don’t understand one thing. I heard this type of defensive array requires diamonds of five series: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth to manufacture, and the technology remains in the hands of the Tang Zang royal family. How did the Lishan Gate get such advanced stuff?”

“Fajiang, can you tell me the answer?” Yitiao grinned as he looked down at the Red Fire Poisonous Turtle.

“Hasn’t the answer already revealed itself?” Fajiang’s eyes, filled with brutal intent, suddenly displayed a mocking and humorous expression: “The Aurora of the Evernight, you’re smart enough to guess what it means for a set of the Five Elements Defense Array, typically owned by a city, to appear in our Lishan Gate, aren’t you? Although the people you brought back are powerful, don’t forget that colluding with outsiders to harm compatriots will result in a ruined reputation and no burial place!”

Yitiao’s face changed slightly.

“To be honest, I truly admire smart people like you! You can take private grudges and forcibly link them to national survival and ethnic righteousness! However, I must also declare that smart people like you are the ones I dislike the most, so you are doomed.” Liu Zhenhan crossed his arms, coldly laughing as he looked at Fajiang: “You’re unlucky to have encountered someone like me who doesn’t believe in evil! I don’t care if the Tang Zang government shelters you or some powerful force protects you, you won’t live past tonight! Leave your last words; you have the right to say one last sentence.”

“Father, please calm down!” Xiao Kong quickly hugged Old Liu from behind, leaning close to his ear and whispering: “Can you spare his life? I know what the mentor did must have angered you, but truly killing him may cause dissatisfaction among other cultivators on the Silk Continent! Our Silk Continent and the Aegean Continent have different cultures, and we particularly dislike outsiders interfering in local affairs, especially a forceful presence like yours! Besides, the ‘Lishan Gate’ force you face tonight doesn’t truly represent the real high-level power of our Silk Continent! If the powerful cultivators come and things can’t be reconciled, it will be embarrassing! It will be hard for the mentor too!”

“Your mentor acted very inappropriately!” Liu Zhenhan said grimly: “Let go of me!”

“I initially intended to persuade them to lay down their weapons, who knew your guards would attack so quickly!” Xiao Kong wanted to let go but couldn’t, feeling quite wronged. He had only said one sentence in negotiations, and the entire Summer Palace guards had already overwhelmed Lishan Gate, not leaving him time for a second sentence.

“Gentlemen.” Fajiang provocatively raised his chin at Old Liu and Yitiao: “I don’t fear boasting, but I am after all the head of a sect. If you outsiders kill me like this, I guarantee you’ll enter the Silk Continent vertically and leave horizontally!”

“Back then, we Lishan Gate and Aurora had our grudges, but who among the mountain spirits doesn’t have grudges?” Fajiang spoke with a sense of measure, first being tough to show his courage, then softening to ease the atmosphere: “Since Aurora didn’t die back then, isn’t demanding my life today a bit too ruthless? You’ve already killed many of our disciples; isn’t that enough to settle old scores?”
