After 10 breaths, the protective array in the Fourth City swayed like a boat in the raging storm, ready to capsize at any time.
Su Mo had been observing the situation in the other cities to prevent anyone from sneaking in to take advantage of the situation.
However, the other cities did not take any action and there was dead silence.
Boom!
Finally, after another four breaths, the protective array in the Fourth City collapsed.
“Attack!”
Someone from the Fourth City shouted the moment the protective array gave way.
Immediately, various forms of attacks blasted out from the Fourth City and filled the area like a stream.
“Charge!”
Long Yu shouted. His body turned into a Dragon Combat Body and he took the lead to retaliate.
Boom! Boom! Rumble!
The attacks hit one another, causing explosions in the sky. The entire area collapsed as various airstreams raged around.
Under the leadership of Long Yu, the people from the Second City fended off the first round of attacks from the Fourth City and they charged into the Fourth City.
Although there were many people in the Fourth City, about 104 of them, there were not many powerful people there. The leader was Young Master Wu Ji from Starlight Court.
A chaotic fight broke out when the men from the Second City charged into the Fourth City. The explosions were deafening and fierce fights broke out all over the place.
Although there were not many people in the Second City, they were not in an unfavorable position as most of them were powerful. The fight between the two parties was fierce.
Occasionally, someone would be severely injured and they would run upward to get out of the grand array. By doing so, they disqualified themselves from the Fight voluntarily.
No one ran out of the city as he would be kicked out if their city was defeated and the base of the array destroyed.
Not many people were killed since all of them were geniuses. They had the ability to protect their lives and could easily escape if they were no match for their opponents.
Moreover, no one would kill people who were severely injured.
The fight between the two parties was fierce. Some of the people from the Second City betrayed their teams and those were from Starlight Court. When they found out that the leader in the Fourth City was Young Master Wu Ji, they changed their stand immediately.
“Su Mo, shall we help Long Yu’s team? If we send a few people over, they will be able to defeat the Fourth City!” Gongsun Changjue asked with a grave look.
“No!” Su Mo shook his head. They only had to watch and wait. The situation would change if they were to get involved.
Su Mo looked calm. As he watched the direction of the Fourth City, he was observing his own team at the same time.
There was a disciple from Starlight Court in Su Mo’s team but he showed no intention of helping the Fourth City. He was composed.
The fight continued and soon, it reached its climax. The people in the Fourth City had been cut down by one-third.
The people from Second City were left with more than 40 people. Most of them had been severely injured and they had returned to the Second City. A few of them had been captured and were thrown out of the grand array and they were eliminated.
Gradually, Long Yu’s team fell into an unfavorable position as there were too few of them. They were going downhill.
Young Master Wu Ji was powerful. Even when Long Yu and two geniuses had joined forces to take him on, they could not defeat him.
Finally, the rest of the men in the Second City could no longer restrain themselves. Helan Shang brought along more than 20 people with him and they flew hastily into the Fourth City.
With the help of Helan Shang and the men, the situation changed. The people in the Fourth City were badly beaten.
“Everybody, get ready!” Su Mo said loudly when he saw the scene. He believed that the people from the other cities would do something about it. Thus, they had to get ready to enter the battlefield.
As expected, after a while, a group of people from the Eighth City flew out in a hurry.
There were around 90 people in the group and the leader was Prince Gu Mo, who was in a black cloak.
“Charge!”
Prince Gu Mo shouted out sharply and the big group of people dashed toward the Second City.
Apparently, Prince Gu Mo’s plan was to defeat the Second City when no one was around.
“Oh no!” Helan Shang and Long Yu turned pale when they realized Prince Gu Mo’s strategy.
Prince Gu Mo was the person whom they were most wary of.
Prince Gu Mo had brought out almost all his men from the city and there were 90 of them.
Helan Shang and Long Yu knew that the protective array in the Second City could only fend off Prince Gu Mo’s attacks for 10 breaths. Once the array had been broken, the Second City would be in danger.
Although the Second City had formed an alliance with the Third City, they did not have complete trust in the Third City.
Long Yu knew that Su Mo was in the Third City, but he did not want to be eliminated. After all, Su Mo might not emerge as the winner.
“Hold them back!” Young Master Wu Ji instructed everyone to hold Long Yu and his team back as he charged toward the Second City.
As long as they could hold back the people from the Second City, the Second City would be destroyed. After the Second City had been eliminated, they would be able to get out of danger.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, the people from the Fourth City attacked the people from the Second City frantically to keep them back.
They had met their objective. Within a short period of time, the people from the Second City were unable to get out.
When the men from the Third City saw Prince Gu Mo and his team getting nearer to the Second City, they became anxious.
“Su Mo, let’s act now!” Long Shuangshuang said anxiously.
“Su Mo, we must not wait any longer!” Gongsun Changjue urged Su Mo. The Second City would be destroyed if they did not take immediate action.
“As long as we can hold back Prince Gu Mo for a while, Long Yu and Helan Shang will win the fight!”
“That’s right! We merely have to hold them back for a while!”
Many of them commented. They did not have confidence in defeating Prince Gu Mo and merely wanted to hold him back to help Long Yu and his team buy some time.
Su Mo looked calm and he was running through his thoughts quickly. If they were to take action and leave their city empty, they would be attacked by the other cities.
At the moment, the First City, Fifth City, Sixth City, Seventh City, and the Ninth City had not taken any action.
“Gongsun Changjue, bring some men with you to attack the Eighth City!” Su Mo immediately passed down the instruction.
This strategy was known as besieging Wei to rescue Zhou. When the enemy was too strong for them to attack directly, they should attack something that he held dear. As long as Su Mo were to remain in the Third City, the city would be safe. Su Mo did not send Gongsun Changjue and the rest to attack Prince Gu Mo as he thought that it would not be a wise move.
“Attack the Eighth City?” Gongsun Changjue and the rest of the men were stunned when they heard what Su Mo had said. They had expected Su Mo to ask them to attack Prince Gu Mo instead of his nest..
