Two patrol teams from the Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea have disappeared after entering Flying Sky Fort. Marshal Ye Zhen discovers they were lured in and brutally humiliated and murdered by the Fort Lord, Shan Wei. Enraged, Ye Zhen orders his army to surround the fort and goes ahead to confront Shan Wei himself, breaking through the fort's defenses.

Inside a Dock Castle, there is usually a fort within the fort, allowing for layered occupation and solid defense.

Even this small Flying Sky Fort that belongs to Dingbian Fortress is divided into three tiers.

First is the outer castle, which Ye Zhen just broke through with a single move. The outer castle covers a vast area, but most of its space is taken up by residences, taverns, inns, and other unimportant commercial facilities.

Then comes the inner castle.

Almost all important facilities are located in the inner castle. The circumference of its walls is only one-tenth that of the outer castle, and its defense is much stronger.

Combined with the large number of facilities inside, as long as the opponent lacks top strategic experts, they can hold out for a very long time.

Within the inner castle lies the Fort Lord’s Mansion, which is also the last line of defense and final stronghold of the Dock Castle.

Or rather, the Fort Lord’s Mansion is the place where they hold out to the death while waiting for reinforcements.

Because the space is smaller, the number of people it can accommodate is very limited, but its defensive ability, especially the Defensive Array, is far stronger than that of the outer and inner castles.

At the instant Ye Zhen violently broke into the outer castle, all kinds of alarms and shrill warning cries, along with various warning flags, were sent up like flying sparks.

The military quality of the militia here was even stronger than Ye Zhen had imagined.

After only a brief moment of yellow-haired chaos, these militia split into two groups: one part held the outer wall, while the other formed a battle formation and pressed forward step by step in pursuit of the intruding Ye Zhen.

The distance between the outer castle and inner castle was only ten li; with just a single Wind Flash and Sweep, Ye Zhen arrived at the inner castle walls.

At this moment, the Defensive Array of the inner castle walls had just been activated. Majestic Spiritual Power surged upward, quickly condensing into layer upon layer of Guardian Light Screens.

Ye Zhen swept in at high speed, his pace not slowing in the slightest. The Thunder Light Whip floating over his forehead crackled with a flash, and a strand of Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder, like a rainbow suddenly descending from the sky, lightly tapped and punched open a gigantic hole in the Guardian Light Screen that was still rapidly forming.

Ye Zhen almost didn’t pause at all as he rushed into the inner castle.

And the Fort Lord of this Flying Sky Fort, Shan Wei, was right in the Fort Lord’s Mansion at the very center of the inner castle.

Ye Zhen could no longer wait for the army to arrive; he wanted to personally take this dog’s head, to avenge the fallen and humiliated brothers of the Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea in blood.

"Stop!"

At the instant Ye Zhen charged into the inner castle, two Realm King Realm militia commanders shot into the sky like whirlwinds, blocking his path as hundreds of dense beams of light, like threads of rain, swept toward Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen stared coldly at these two militia commanders with Fifth Stage of Realm King Realm Cultivation. His figure didn’t change in the slightest; he simply barreled straight ahead, charging into the light-rain woven by the sharp attacks of these two commanders.

The sizzling sounds of cutting and the continuous booming of impacts rang out non-stop.

Yet no matter how great the commotion, the attacks could not break through the black Qi Force that had surfaced around Ye Zhen’s body.

This was the Black Dragon Qi Force emanating from the surface of the Dragon Scales formed by Ye Zhen’s Dragon Scale True Body.

If they couldn’t even break this Qi Force, there was no way they could touch the far more defensively powerful Black Water Dragon Scales.

Ye Zhen’s figure flashed by like the wind. His two fists lightly tapped out, directly shattering the defenses of these two Fifth Stage Realm King Realm militia commanders, and then, like squeezing tofu, crushed both their heads.

"Fire!"

An enraged roar rang out as at least five hundred Wind Winged Hunting Crossbows simultaneously aimed at Ye Zhen, then pulled their triggers toward him.

Five hundred crossbow bolts of tremendous power, each one capable of heavily injuring a Realm King Realm early to mid-stage expert, howled as they fanned out, spinning at high speed as they blasted toward Ye Zhen.

The distance was too short, and the bolts of these Wind Winged Hunting Crossbows flew extremely fast; Ye Zhen had no time to react at all before the dense clanging of ding ding ding rang out non-stop.

One bolt after another from the Wind Winged Hunting Crossbows viciously pierced through the black Spirit Light on Ye Zhen’s body and drove in.

But what flared up were only sparks, with crisp sounds like bolts striking refined alloy.

Though the Wind Winged Hunting Crossbows were powerful, they were still far from being able to tear open Ye Zhen’s Dragon Scale True Body.

However, the immense force carried on these bolts, one after another, still caused Ye Zhen’s figure to slow down.

Seeing that the Wind Winged Hunting Crossbows were ineffective, the temporary commanding militia officer bellowed again, "Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows, area covering fire!"

"Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbows, prepare!"

Amid the furious shouts, the palms of one intermediate-level militia officer after another flared with light as one cold-aura-emitting Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow after another rapidly appeared on the wall.

This caused Ye Zhen’s gaze to grow cold.

They even had Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbows—this Dingbian Fortress’s strength was anything but ordinary.

However, that thought only flashed by. At this moment, Ye Zhen had only one objective!

To execute the Fort Lord of the Flying Sky Fort, Shan Wei!

It had to be said, this militia commanding officer adapted quite well to the situation. Faced with a powerhouse like Ye Zhen whom they could not confront head-on, using the power of the battle formation to encircle and kill him was the most suitable approach.

His command was not wrong; what was wrong was that his enemy was Ye Zhen!

The Bone-attached Poison Flame Pearl flew out from behind Ye Zhen’s head. The Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit, which had long since become an Artifact Spirit, twisted its agile body as it sprang from behind Ye Zhen, and a vast swarm of flame sprites burst forth.

Wherever it lightly pointed, that place became a sea of fire—and not a fire that could be extinguished, but one that burned stronger and more terrifying the longer it raged.

The terrifying high temperature caused those soldiers, before they could even fire the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows in their hands, to suddenly feel a sharp pain. They stared in horror as the skin and flesh of their palms blistered and turned black in an instant, then rapidly turned into bare white bone.

As for the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows in their hands, they had already turned to ash.

These crossbowmen were close enough to guarantee one hundred percent coverage fire, but they themselves were in even greater danger.

Ye Zhen said nothing, letting the Fire Spirit of the Bone-attached Poison Flame Pearl draw Spiritual Power from his body at will.

Violet-gold Sword Light flashed by, and the heads of over twenty Dark Palace Realm commanders who had just soared into the air to block Ye Zhen all flew skyward in unison.

At this point, all obstacles in front of Ye Zhen had been completely cleared.

The pursuing troops from the outer castle had just arrived, but upon seeing Ye Zhen slaughter commanders as easily as chopping vegetables, they all stared in shock, fearfully hesitating to advance.

Ye Zhen’s figure flickered, lunging toward the innermost Fort Lord’s Mansion like a bolt of lightning.

What stifled Ye Zhen was that he had been delayed here in the inner castle for about the time of two breaths.

But those precious two breaths were enough for the Fort Lord’s Mansion inside the inner castle to react.

After all, this was located on the Human Demon Battlefield, so the vigilance of this Dock Castle had never slackened.

At the first moment, a massively thick Guardian Light Screen rose from within the Fort Lord’s Mansion.

That several-feet-thick Guardian Light Screen, flickering with countless Mysterious Patterns, emanated an incomparably heavy aura that caused Ye Zhen’s expression to suddenly turn grim.

Inside the Fort Lord’s Mansion, at least two thousand elites were already in position. Among these two thousand elites, the weakest in Cultivation were Martial Artists at the Mid-stage of Divine Communication Realm.

There were as many as ten Realm King Realm Martial Artists. For a small Dock Castle to possess such strength showed clearly the status this Shan Wei held in the heart of his grandfather, Shan Zhengchun.

However, Ye Zhen simply did not care.

Because when Ye Zhen arrived, he saw a man with no clothes on his entire body, looking somewhat nervous as he rushed out of the main hall of the Fort Lord’s Mansion.

There was no need to ask; Ye Zhen already knew who this disgusting bastard was.

But what pained Ye Zhen even more were the brothers of the Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea inside who had been ravaged by this disgusting animal.

"Who?"

"What happened, did a Demon Clan intruder break in?" Shan Wei, who had been in the middle of his fun, was jolted out by the alarm, his face full of panic.

"Young master, this man charged into our Dock Castle without saying a word. He broke through the outer and inner castles in succession; his Combat Power is extremely strong. Generals Yua Liang and Sunx Cai have already been slain by him in a single move." The commander reporting the situation wore a strained expression, and his gaze toward Ye Zhen was like he was looking at a grim specter.

"Oh? The uniform of the newly arrived Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea? You’re a commander of the Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea?

Looking at that face, pretty delicate, and that temperament, tsk tsk, compared to those previous fellows, you’ve got much more flavor!"

Facing Ye Zhen, who had come killing straight to his door, this Shan Wei actually started eyeing him with a lewd and greedy stare!
