The scout's body fell with a thud into the rain-soaked pool.
However, the other soldiers around him did not regard this scout as a madman; instead, a look of terror instantly rose on everyone's face.
Because they all knew that this scout possessed the ability to sense danger in advance and would never lie.
Recalling the scout's frantic and desperate words, the officers felt a chill run from their feet to their hearts, and fear quickly spread through the ranks.
"Is he telling the truth?" a soldier asked, his voice trembling.
"Run!"
"Where do you want to run?"
Seeing that someone was still trying to escape, Zhou Xuan's face instantly turned ashen.
He rushed forward, furious, ready to punish the soldier severely, when he saw a soldier suddenly trembling as he pointed to the sky behind him:
"Look, what's that...?"
Everyone looked up, and their expressions changed drastically.
Something was seen churning and swirling through the thunderclouds, rushing in at an extremely fast speed, and all the rain in the sky disappeared in its path.
The next second, a thousand-meter-long pillar of lightning pierced through the heavens and earth!
The clouds high in the sky were torn apart, revealing a huge crack!
The long, narrow blue lightning bolt, like a giant thunder dragon, illuminated the earth below.
For a moment, the sky was as bright as day.
Zhou Xuan looked up, his eyes reflecting a blinding light.
The thunderbolt seemed to gather all the lightning in the world, like a final judgment, crashing down on everyone with a destructive force.
"boom--"
Before the military personnel could dodge, the giant pillar of lightning had already struck their location precisely.
Yangshi Cliff instantly transformed into the core of a supernova explosion.
A blinding blue-white light engulfed everything, and a powerful electric current surged wildly between the rain and the ground.
Even some incredibly hard rocks on the ground instantly melted into a glassy state under the terrifying bombardment of electric current and high temperature.
In that instant, time seemed to stretch out.
The soldiers could even clearly see their own shadows instantly carbonize on the surrounding rock walls!
Before they could even let out a scream, they were swallowed up by the massive electric current that descended from the sky and turned to ashes in an instant.
Zhou Xuan's eyes widened as, in the final moment before his body was pierced by lightning, an unforgettable image was etched onto his retina:
At the very tip of that thousand-meter-long thunder dragon was actually an arrow!
Zhou Xuan instantly understood everything:
"It's...Li Yu..."
His lip movements were instantly annihilated by the roar of a billion volts, and his body, under this terrifying lightning, was shattered like a fragile bubble and turned into dust.
The ground exploded violently under the bombardment of lightning, sending countless raindrops and rocks flying high into the air.
The lightning in the sky showed no signs of stopping; streaks of blue lightning continued to fall from the clouds, raging wildly.
Some Awakened Ones with extremely strong defensive capabilities immediately overdraw their supernatural powers to launch a defensive attack in this life-or-death moment.
Even so, they only managed to hold on for a second longer before vanishing into thin air.
The entire Yangshi Cliff area was completely enveloped and covered by terrifying lightning, and the ground was blasted into huge craters by bolts of lightning.
The earth was torn apart, ravaged and desolate.
Zhou Xuan, along with all the military reinforcements, was completely wiped out by this terrifying, widespread lightning attack.
When everything had settled down, the heavy rain continued to pour down relentlessly, trying to wash away the tragic scene.
But this land ravaged by lightning bears the marks of attack forever.
All that remained were huge ravines and scorched ground.
......
Yangcheng, the City Lord's Mansion.
Li Yu slowly drew back the bow, the lightning fragments remaining on the bowstring still hissing in the rain.
The crowd stared blankly into the southwest—where a mushroom cloud crackling with lightning rose, looking particularly eerie in the heavy rain.
"Gulp." Li Yang couldn't help but swallow, his voice slightly unsteady as he asked:
“Li Yuxing Jun…that was just now.”
"Let's stretch our legs after dinner," Li Yu replied casually, her tone indifferent.
It was as if the earth-shattering attack just now was nothing more than a trivial matter.
"What kind of activity is this?!" Even the usually composed Li Yang couldn't help but shout in his heart.
Such power, clearly visible from such a distance, could not possibly be ordinary physical activity.
Li Yu's arrow could probably wipe out everything in an entire area.
Although Li Yang guessed what Li Yu had done, he still pretended to be calm and said with a forced smile:
"Li Yuxing is joking."
Li Yu smiled and suddenly changed the subject:
"Lord of Liyang City, I have heard that the military and the demon race both possess powerful array formation techniques. What are your thoughts on this?"
Heard?
Li Yang was taken aback, thinking to himself that Li Yu was asking a question he already knew the answer to.
He had specially arranged such a good viewing spot for Li Yu. Li Yu could definitely see the battle between the military and the demon race's formations clearly, so what was there to ask?
However, upon hearing Li Yu suddenly mention the grand formation, Li Yang calmly responded with polite words:
"The art of formations is indeed a force not to be underestimated. The military's formations emphasize uniformity and coordinated combat, while the demon race's formations focus more on harnessing the power of heaven and earth and arousing their bestial instincts. If used properly, they can increase the strength of the army exponentially."
Recalling the scene of Li Yang standing alone, Li Yu suddenly looked at Li Yang seriously and deliberately asked, "City Lord Li Yang seems to have unique insights into formations and has made improvements to them on his own, right?"
