However, Ji Yunxi stood there seemingly unflustered. Her escape route suddenly paused, and she actually turned back right in front of everyone.
"Xixi!" Feng Xingzhi exclaimed, his voice filled with sheer panic. If that sword had really stabbed her, he was afraid he would truly lose the person in front of him.
Without a second thought, he rushed forward. Just then, the sword that was about to reach Ji Yunxi suddenly stopped.
Then, right in front of everyone, it began to tremble until it transformed into a stone and fell to the ground with a thud.
Everyone was stunned. Even Feng Xingzhi had been kept in the dark by Ji Yunxi and had no idea that the sword was a fake.
Yu Mingyi first looked stunned and then suddenly burst into laughter.
How stupid he was! How could Ji Yunxi have taken out such an important thing so easily?
There must be something wrong with it, but he had failed to notice at all.
Ji Yunxi stood there, looking at him with pity in her eyes. She found everything ridiculous.
All of Yu Mingyi's ambitions were laughable. For his own selfish desires, he could care about nothing. He had never even considered whether it was right for the God - Slaying Blade to fall into Jiang Yaoji's hands.
But it was meaningless to talk about these things now. Everyone watched as the God - Slaying Blade in Yu Mingyi's hand turned into a stone, and the situation immediately reversed.
Feng Xingzhi heaved a huge sigh of relief. Looking at Ji Yunxi as if he had survived a disaster, his palms were full of sweat, but he refused to let go of her hand no matter what.
"Xixi, you..." He had a lot to say, but he swallowed it all back.
Ji Yunxi's eyes were filled with guilt. Due to the urgency of the situation, she hadn't been able to inform Feng Xingzhi, which had scared him so much.
"I'm fine. Don't worry."
Feng Xingzhi nodded. "Next time, you must tell me. No, there won't be a next time."
He cast a cold look at Yu Shaoguang, his eyes filled with killing intent. This hypocrite had seemed kind to him on the surface, but in fact, he had secretly used his singing to provoke them, almost causing a great disaster.
Moreover, a voice with such great deterrence must belong to a merman with high power. Only such a person could bewitch others.
Yu Shaoguang saw his look and knew that his secret actions had annoyed Feng Xingzhi. Even if he wanted to leave now, he couldn't get away.
Jing Weiwei whispered to Ji Yunxi, "Master, we are outnumbered. It might be difficult for us to attack. How about we leave first? We'll have more opportunities in the future."
Her concern was reasonable, but Ji Yunxi had now understood another truth: opportunities never come twice.
If they left today, the danger would still be there. The merman royal family would continue to entangle them relentlessly. Ji Yunxi was already fed up with such endless troubles.
"Tell the people on the shore to come down."
Knowing that Ji Yunxi was determined to solve everything, Jing Weiwei saw her firm eyes and didn't find it scary at all. Instead, she felt a little excited.
Several people immediately drew their swords. Yu Shaoguang on the opposite side was a bit dazed.
He had brought so many people. Didn't they feel scared at all?
"Miss Ji, you still have a chance to leave now."
Ji Yunxi sneered. "That's unnecessary. You'd better think about how you're going to escape."
Ji Yunxi's words hit Yu Shaoguang's sore spot. As the merman emperor, he had to grovel in front of these people. He had lost all his face.
Now Ji Yunxi was still provoking him. She clearly looked down on the mermen.
He thought stubbornly that if that was the case, he might as well see who would die first!
"Attack!"
At his order, the great battle broke out inevitably.
Unfortunately, Yu Shaoguang didn't have many capable people under his command. As soon as they got close to Ji Yunxi, they would be knocked down mercilessly.
He was getting anxious and was about to speak when he saw Feng Xingzhi charging towards him with a sharp sword in his hand. The look of a god of death on Feng Xingzhi's face scared everyone so much that they didn't dare to move and could only retreat continuously.
Feng Xingzhi didn't give him any chance. He attacked directly. Thinking about how Yu Shaoguang's words had almost hurt Ji Yunxi just now, he slapped Yu Shaoguang several times on the face.
Yu Shaoguang was stunned at first. Looking up, he seemed to see the high - ranking gods in the Yunqi Palace back then, aloof and overbearing.
His eyes turned red, not out of sadness but out of hatred. He hated their superiority and their abilities.
Feng Xingzhi stood not far away with a mocking smile.
Yu Shaoguang led the guards to attack them again without hesitation. Feng Xingzhi alone could block most of them, while Jing Weiwei and Zhao Qingcang protected Ji Yunxi by her side.
Yu Mingyi stood on one side, watching in shock. In the current situation, the other side had only four people but had managed to hold their own. If there was just one more person, the Water City might not be able to hold out today.
He looked around and immediately saw Yu Xiaobei shivering on one side. He grabbed the person and pulled her in front of him. "It's all your fault! All your fault!"
Hearing the noise, Ji Yunxi turned her head. She saw Yu Mingyi roaring at Yu Xiaobei. "You must have given false information! You must have!"
Ji Yunxi thought he was being completely unreasonable. Unable to bear it any longer, she drew her sword and attacked Yu Mingyi.
The forces of the merman clan were all within the sight of Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi. Taking the opportunity, Jing Weiwei sent a signal to the subordinates on the sea.
"Steward, look at this. Is it the signal from the master and the others?"
The steward immediately came to the seaside and saw the pre - arranged signal floating on the sea.
"It must be!"
He frowned. "Hurry! Notify everyone. We're going down!"
The subordinates on the sea also dived into the water and joined the battle. Yu Shaoguang didn't expect there to be so many people. In a hurry, he wanted to retreat to the Water City, but no matter how hard he tried to get rid of Feng Xingzhi's entanglement, he couldn't do it.
Seeing this, Jing Weiwei led her people directly towards the city tower of the Water City.
There were still guards under the city tower. They didn't have any special skills, so they were no match for the disciples of the Dream - Flower Pavilion.
In just a few moves, there were no more guards left in the Water City, and the city gate fell into the hands of Jing Weiwei and the others.
By now, there was no more suspense. Yu Shaoguang and his men were retreating steadily. Naturally, Yu Mingyi, who was not familiar with external divine powers, couldn't defeat Ji Yunxi.
Both the father and son were defeated.
Looking at the many mermen left, Ji Yunxi had no intention of massacring them. She said, "Surrender voluntarily, and I guarantee I won't kill you."
After getting Ji Yunxi's promise, many mermen were a bit shaken. In just a moment, many of them defected.
Yu Shaoguang was so angry that he cursed. "You! They're all foreigners!"
"So what if they're foreigners? We can't die in vain for such a stupid prince!" One of the mermen stood out. He knew the cause and effect of all this and thought it was just retribution.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Yu Shaoguang and Yu Mingyi wanted to run away, but they were immediately blocked by Feng Xingzhi and Ji Yunxi. With swords at their necks, they didn't even have the face to talk about now. Their lives were almost gone.
