  Even if those Flame Devil experts of a higher level retracted their aura on their own, while they would be able to fool human martial practitioners of a lower cultivation base, it would be very hard for them to fool human martial practitioners of a similar cultivation level.

  They were like flames within the night sky, dazzling to the extreme.

  Now, however, a great amount of Flame Devils had actually thrown the Martial Saint An Qinglin as well as the Extreme Yin Crown off their tail, disappearing without a trace. This was a completely unprecedented matter.

  What caused others to be more vigilant was that it was not just the two Flame Devil Kings who had vanished without a trace. Having disappeared alongside them were also many other Flame Devils.

  Some gloominess surfaced within Yan Zhaoge’s gaze.

  Pushing open the door to the room, Yan Zhaoge saw that the entire Jade Sea City had grown restless.

  The lower-tier martial practitioners did not know of the City Lord Song Wuliang being in seclusion, much less the ordinary citizens.

  However, the higher echelon experts of Jade Sea City all knew that currently, Jade Sea City was in a rather fragile state, comparable to when Yuan Zhengfeng had been in secluded cultivation in an attempt to break through into the Martial Saint realm back at Broad Creed Mountain previously.

  The strange change in the battle situation over at the East Sea was treated as a matter of the utmost priority by Jade Sea City’s higher echelons.

  In order to prevent unneeded panic, while they did not announce this outright, Jade Sea City also began to move.

  Jade Dragon Island began to take up the utmost vigilance, Jade Sea City’s guardian grand formation also preparing to take effect at any moment as they stood on full guard.

  Yan Zhaoge rose, stepping into the air. Gazing into the distance, in the horizon, roiling sea tides were currently surging over!

  Infinite seawater, in the form of massive waves that surged to the heavens, surged over from all directions.

  At this moment, Jade Dragon Island that was as massive as a mini mainland seemed to be sinking into the sea as it was consumed and submerged in its entirety by the great sea!

  Screens of water surged into the heavens, obscuring the heavens and concealing the sun, as the sky could instantly no longer be seen.

  The massive East Dragon Island seemed about to become an underwater world.

  Countless profound, complicated spirit patterns lit up with a jade-blue light, flickering amongst the screens of water of the great sea, joining together in one breath as they took the form of a large scale formation, enveloping East Dragon Island with Jade Sea City as its core.

  Ah Hu said admiringly, “This is Jade Sea City’s guardian grand formation, the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation? It truly is impressive…”

  Before his words had landed, Ah Hu stared wide-eyed, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

  Yan Zhaoge stared unflinchingly at the grand formation overhead.

  There, the red light of fire surged madly, landing on the screen of water that formed the grand formation!

  While they were separated by seawater, infinite, boundless flames blazed and exploded rampantly, seemingly wanting to set even the very sea itself aflame.

  A violent streak of fiery red light landed on the screen of water above, leaving behind a fearsome, terrifying red line of fire, extending from one end of the sky to the other, shocking one’s heart as it resembled a tragic scar!

  What caused one’s heart to palpitate even more was that very quickly, another violent streak of blazing fire descended, its remnants intersecting with that previous line, resembling a cross.

  The fiery red cross pressed down upon the water screen of the grand formation, almost immediately fragmenting a great amount of the spirit patterns.

  The jade sea above their heads seemed about to be forcibly ripped apart!

  Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge’s pupils dilated slightly, “So they came here ah…”

  Jade Sea City reacted very quickly, having immediately expanded the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation in full circulation upon receiving news of the disappearance of the Flame Devils.

  However, facing the joint attacks of two Flame Devil Kings at this moment, the situation immediately grew perilous.

  Flame Devil Kings, in terms of strength, were equivalent to Martial Saints of the human race.

  While the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation was powerful, its wielder was currently not the City Lord Song Wuliang, also facing immense pressure by the joint attacks of the two Martial Saint level experts.

  A terrifying sea of flames weighed down upon the jade sea, wanting to shatter the grand formation with the momentum of tens of thousands of thunderbolts.

  Within Jade Sea City, the current controller of the grand formation was a Grand Elder who was a Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster.

  Going all out with his full strength, he barely maintained the integrity of the formation.

  If the enemy were but a single Flame Devil King, circulating the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation, he would be sufficient to defend against it.

  However, with two Flame Devil Kings joining hands, he lacked the strength to deal with them.

  There were also four other Jade Sea City Martial Grandmaster experts, standing at four different coordinates as they assisted him.

  However, the face of that Grand Elder had already grown pale, gradually turning an unhealthy shade of red.

  Blood was even already beginning to ooze out from his nostrils and the corners of his eyes.

  At this moment, East Dragon Island and Jade Sea City had already sunk fully beneath the East Sea, vanishing without a trace.

  However, on the sea’s surface above, the clearness of the sky were already completely gone, no sea winds howling.

  The surrounding heavens and earth seemed to have completely transformed into a world of flames, the sky having turned crimson and the sea of clouds having transformed into a sea of flames, infinite, boundless flames rampaging about within the air.

  Countless meteors descended from the sky, resembling the arrival of the end of the world as they slammed down towards the sea’s surface together.

  The jade-blue spirit patterns on the sea’s surface circulated unceasingly, dissipating the terrifying destructive force brought about by the blazing meteors.

  A great amount of sea water was vaporised, the sea’s surface seeming as though it was boiling.

  Beneath the sea, within Jade Sea City that was enveloped by the grand formation, raising his head and looking upwards, Yan Zhaoge saw that accompanied by the unceasing shattering of the spirit patterns, countless cracks were beginning to be ripped out in the jade sea up above.

  Once in a while, streaks of fire would descend through these cracks, descending from the sky, descending towards the city down below!

  The other martial practitioners of Jade Sea City withstood these scattered meteors, preventing them from causing damage to their City.

  Ah Hu’s face was bitter as he looked in the direction of the inner city, “City Lord Song is not coming out even at this time?”

  Yan Zhaoge shook his head a little helplessly, “From the looks of it, City Lord Song has also reached a critical moment. At this moment, it is equivalent to being in death seclusion. Whether he is attempting a breakthrough or in the midst of forging a Sacred Artifact, he would also not be able to leave and provide any help now.”

  Sucking in a deep breath, Yan Zhaoge calmed his heart, taking Ah Hu along as he rushed off in the direction of the inner city.

  “This tribulation of Jade Sea City was truly unavoidable,” Yan Zhaoge said as they went, “If City Lord Song were not in seclusion, under normal circumstances, he would have gone to the Outer East Sea, to where the passageway to the Flame Devil World is.”

 
“With the enemy suddenly vanishing and then suddenly launching a sneak attack out of nowhere, taken by surprise, Jade Sea City would also have to bear this major tribulation.”

  Yan Zhaoge sighed, “Now, City Lord Song is still here, but his timing is a little awkward, being as good as if he weren’t.”

  Ah Hu pulled back the corner of his lips, “If it were outside, even if Jade Sea City were destroyed, as long as he, a Martial Saint, still remained, there might also be a day that Jade Sea City could rise back up once more. This time, however, they may be all destroyed by the Flame Devils together.”

  “However, the Flame Devils really are too much. Pavilion Lord An had made an appearance on the East Sea, having been thrown off by them, while City Lord Song has not shown himself at all. Why did the Flame Devils go not to Turbid Wave Pavilion, but Jade Sea City? On the surface, it clearly appears that Turbid Wave Pavilion is more unguarded, and it would be easier to succeed in attacking them. Could it be that the Flame Devils know that City Lord Song is in death seclusion now?”

  Yan Zhaoge rubbed his temple softly, “Even the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall may not be able to confirm that City Lord Song cannot leave seclusion at this time, much less the Fire Devils.”

  “There are two possibilities. Firstly, the technique with which the Flame Devils have concealed their tracks have some restrictions, its time or distance being limited, such that it would be insufficient for them to consecutively pass through both the East Sea and the South Sea, killing up the way to Turbid Wave Pavilion that is situated on land, being something that can at most only be used to launch a sudden, unexpected attack on Jade Sea City.”

  “Secondly, there is something here at Jade Sea City that the Flame Devils want…”

  Yan Zhaoge looked at the majestic palace before him, frowning, “What materials exactly did Jade Sea City prepare to refine their Sacred Artifact with?”

  Ah Hu’s expression was bitter, “Young Master, what do we do?”

  “Sleep,” Yan Zhaoge said randomly, walking towards the Great Hall, as he just happened to see some people emerging from within, mostly being longtime Elders of Jade Sea City.

  Other than those, there was Song Chao as well.

  Song Chao’s expression was grave, “I’m sorry, Junior Brother Yan. I have dragged you into facing this tribulation with our clan this time.”

  Yan Zhaoge shook his head, “This was a sudden, accidental situation, not being something that anyone would have been able to predict.”

  After greeting the group of Jade Sea City bigwigs, Yan Zhaoge dispensed with all further formalities as he asked, “Is City Lord Song unable to leave seclusion?”

  Song Chao’s expression sunk.

  At this moment, the jade-blue sea above Jade Sea City was getting weaker and weaker, more and more comets shooting straight through the grand formation, slamming down towards Yan Zhaoge and the others.

  A Jade Sea City Elder gave a muffled snort, flicking his sleeve as ferocious sea tides were born in thin air, countless spirit patterns transforming into spirit arrays before stacking up to form a heavenly altar, standing in mid-air, blocking that violent blazing fire.

  As the two sides collided, the meteor shower broke apart, the heavenly altar broke apart, the surface of the sea seemingly boiling, transforming into a haze of water vapour and clouds.

  The expressions of the Jade Sea City bigwigs were all stern.

  The situation grew more and more urgent.

  Just in the great hall behind them, five Jade Sea City longtime Elders were currently barely managing to hold on.

  Confirming that Song Wuliang currently equivalent to being in death seclusion, unable to leave seclusion in time, Yan Zhaoge couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

  “In the situation before us, your Jade Sea City’s Limitless Grand Formation is sustaining too much pressure,” Yan Zhaoge’s voice sunk, “Excuse my bluntness, but even after everyone else learns of the situation and quickly rushes over to reinforce us, they also might not be able to make it in time. After all, especially over at the Outer East Sea, Turbid Wave Pavilion’s Lord An Qinglin and the others would still have to guard against yet more peak Flame Devil experts descending upon the Eight Extremities World.”

  “Today, we will have no choice but to rely on ourselves.”

  Song Chao and the others spoke no further, quietly awaiting the latter part of Yan Zhaoge’s words.

  While many things were only known by Broad Creed Mountain internally, the many glorious achievements by this youth that the outside world knew of had already long since proven his abilities as definitely not something that could be measured by his cultivation base alone.

  Yan Zhaoge looked at that great hall, “The best plan is to buy time for City Lord Song. So long as he emerges from seclusion, the danger before us will immediately dissipate.”

  “The attacking Flame Devil experts now consist of two Flame Devil Kings. Luring away both of them would be best, but if just one of them were drawn away, the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation could then be sustained.”

  A longtime Elder of Jade Sea City sighed, “At most, it would only be possible to draw away Flame Devils at the Martial Grandmaster level. It would be very hard to draw away a Flame Devil King.”

  Yan Zhaoge looked at Song Chao and the others, pointing towards himself, “Send me out of their encirclement. I will attempt to lure away one of the Flame Devil Kings from the outskirts.”

  As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone was stunned.

  History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 370: Slamming straight on

  HSSB370: Slamming straight on

  Hearing Yan Zhaoge’s suggestion, the Jade Sea City martial practitioners here were all stunned.

  Ah Hu also swivelled his head to look at Yan Zhaoge, shocked.

  If one of the two Flame Devil Kings attacking the city could be drawn away, the pressure on Jade Sea City would be greatly lessened.

  While the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation had already been damaged, facing the attack of a single Flame Devil King, it would at least be able to hold on for a rather long period of time.

  With this bought time, the reinforcements from the other powers should be able to arrive. At that time, it would be that Flame Devil King worrying about whether or not it would be able to retreat from the area fully intact.

  As for whether or not more experts of the Flame Devils might be arriving, that was a completely different matter altogether.

  The Eight Extremities World did not simply consist of a single Sacred Ground.

  After An Qinglin and the others had been befuddled for a time, they would naturally grow alert.

  However, the question was-how would they be able to manage to draw a Flame Devil King far away from East Dragon Island and Jade Sea City?

  The Flame Devils should also know that the time they had was limited. Since they had come specifically for Jade Sea City, on what basis would they give up lightly?

  Also, even if they could draw away a single Flame Devil King, how would they be able to engage its attentions for a time?

  Looking at the righteous, solemn Yan Zhaoge, the corners of the mouths of some Jade Sea City martial practitioners twitched slightly.

  However they looked at it, this was him wanting to extricate himself and escape upon seeing that the situation was not good ah…

  Making use of Jade Sea City’s help, breaking out of the encirclement, being chased by at most only Flame Devils at the Martial Grandmaster level, if he focused fully on escaping, running far off into the distance, he might indeed have a chance of making it out alive.

  Yan Zhaoge noticed such gazes, but paid them no mind. He gazed quietly at Song Chao, then looked at the greatest expert of Jade Sea City here, a Grand Elder who had also already stepped into the Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster realm.

  This Grand Elder was surnamed Yu, generally being called Elder Yu by others.

  He would definitely not retreat. If th
e other Grand Elder within the great hall grew unable to sustain his control over the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation, Elder Yu would immediately replace him.

  Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Elder Yu said, “If Little Friend Yan can break out of the encirclement, it would also be a good thing. As for attracting the attention of the Flame Devil King, it is best to just do the best you can. You have not seen the power of Flame Devil Kings before, but you should know the terrifyingness of Martial Saints.”

  Yan Zhaoge nodded, “I understand.”

  Song Chao said in a heavy tone, “Your clan’s junior apprentice-sister Sikong is also within the city. Junior Brother Yan, you should bring her along when you leave.”

  Yan Zhaoge shook his head, “Following me, would instead be more dangerous.”

  The group of Jade Sea City martial practitioners jolted up in unison as they looked at Yan Zhaoge, “He is really intending to draw the attention of the Flame Devil King, running it around in circles?”

  With time being so pressing now, amidst these few sentences being said, the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation above their heads was being shaken unceasingly.

  More and more scars appeared on the all-encompassing water screen, also becoming more and more obvious as the powerful guardian grand formation of theirs appeared now as though even the winds and the rains would be enough to cause it to sway.

  Gazing over, two massive claws that blazed with flames had appeared on a crack on the water screen in the distance, ripping the water screen in opposite directions as they wanted to expand the size of this crack.

  From that cracked open part of the water screen, numerous massive clumps of fire descended.

  These were not those meteor-like existences of before. Rather, they were numerous Flame Devils, shooting in murderously through the crack in the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation under the cover of the Flame Devil King!

  These powerful Flame Devils that were all equivalent to human Martial Grandmasters descended from the sky, descending straight towards Jade Sea City below!

  Elder Yu roared, expanding his true martial avatar, rooted on the ground and soaring into the heavens, meeting the incoming Flame Devils.
